Who wants to be my coder? I'll also need a couple graphics guys and event scripters. Out of curiosity, is there anything open source even remotely like what Paradox does? I clicked all of these and they were nothing but terrible lies.

What's the mod scene for March of the Eagles like? I don't own it yet, just played the demo a while back so I obviously can't see the mods forum, but is there anything promising there?

Hey, Gorgo, I think you forgot a hyphen in the World Stage link. Currently it takes you to "the Ultimate Resources for Event Engineering, Technology & Imagination."

Reading that BGamer interview with Ubik made me personally offended, as someone who used to buy BGamer religiously when he was a kid. loving Ubik, man. We really needed a good indie developer to 'kickstart' our indie scene, but noooooo. What does Sweden have that we don't

Charlz Guybon posted:So you've done better than the USSR in real life? Go you! I'm pretty sure the game only counts military casualties, so no, not really. Actually, considering those numbers... That's probably more than half of the Soviet population dead, if you add in the expected civilian deaths from - at first - German occupation, and then Allied nuclear bombing of all major cities and the resulting collapse of any semblance of public order or governance. I wonder what long-term effects that would have on the Russian psyche. Our own World War 2 was bad enough in that respect, but this takes the cake. Which country are you playing as in that game, Farecoal?

Patter Song posted:To ubik's credit, Wiz is mentioned in the credits of World Stage. In a manner of speaking, yes; specifically crediting Paradox employees could actually put him in more risk because it can be used to establish he knew his game was ripping off Paradox's game. It would be like if I made a new soda with a lemon/lime taste, said "Thanks for the idea Sprite!" but when Sprite sues me for infringement I turn around and say "What Sprite? Naw, we just both came up with similar ideas, mine is nothing like their's". I mean he's pretty blatantly in violation anyway, but specifically thanking Paradox in World Stage would have made it even easier to sue him.

Using game code you theoretically have no right to is illegal everywhere. Sweden is pretty lax about it, but not that lax. I'm going to guess that they issued a C&D letter and are just waiting.

So to get ready for Victoria 2: Heart of Darkness, I tried out a new type of game called the "Oh God how do I USA" game. Everyone says the USA is easy to play but it was pretty hard for me! First, I stopped colonizing those poor natives because I didn't see what I needed them for, and instead used those NFs to build reactionary support in New York, since that seemed to be the only party that had its priorities straight in the USA, but I also took time to build liberals in the south to keep things fair and balanced.. To keep the slave states happy and not successionist, I admitted every single colony as a slave state. Then, I closed all the factories in the USA because I felt it would be a better investment to stay an agricultural society. Looking around I noticed there were lots of nations inside the USA yearning to be free, so I obliged them. In fact, I noticed there were nations inside Mexico that wanted to be free too, so I decided to dedicate 100% of my armed forces and money to freeing them! The end result is this For the curious; the blue in Utah is 3/4 of the remaining USA (the other 1/4 is Washington itself. As the Free States of America, we have no need for the monument to tyranny, the White House), the blue just past Maine is the Maritime Union, and the green in Ohio and Arkansas is the Cherokee (I figured since there were a lot of Cherokee in Ohio, I'd give them a core on it when I released them). Strangely, me and the CSA are both great powers. I have no idea what's going on with Canada in this game, the UK is doing so bad Socialists took over and installed a democracy and now they are Great Britain. NOT PICTURED: Independent Yucatan and Tarasco. Also somehow the CSA got a core on everything from Idaho to Antioquia. I can't imagine this not resulting in a fascist CSA.

I think it's meant to happen if the US refuses to outlaw slavery, and represents the "free" states breaking away from the slavery-tolerating federal government. I thought it was an addition in PDM/APD or something like that, though.

Trick is to make reactionaries in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois, and make Virginia, and Georgia liberal bastions. It should end up rapidly triggering the civil war. You can also just release the CSA .Drone posted:I don't think I've ever even seen the Free States in any of my V2 games. Is that the fascist/anarcho-liberal breakaway, like the communist People's Republic of America or whatever it's called? It's from the New Nations Mod found here. If the USA doesn't deal with its slavery problem for too long, it will eventually cause states to break away, and so since every state but a small handful were slave states, the Free States of America broke off, which also caused a liberal to be elected in the USA, causing the regular civil war. burnishedfume fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Apr 7, 2013 |

How important is Their Finest Hour? I didn't realize I got HoI3 with an IndieGala bundle a while back, and it's the only Paradox game I haven't really gotten into. It's on Steam as well, so I can't use any Blue Coins on it, so I'm ok with spending $10 on SF and FtM, but I'm a bit hesitant to spend an extra $10 on it if I'm just going to be as overwhelmed as I was when I tried out Darkest Hour. I'd wait for a sale, but I really want something to hold me over until Heart of Darkness comes out.

I've been working on the MOTE scenario for the Azerbaijan LP, and decided that instead of spending way too much time trying to a good set of random generals and admirals for each of the major powers, I would instead write a little app I call EagleMaker to do it for me. Since it's a useful tool for anyone modding MOTE I thought I'd share it.
