It's doubly bizarre because this is the same team that strives to create hyper accurate OOB's for every backwater country with thousand of tiny provinces and other useless poo poo like that but historical political leaders in a Cold War game??? Yeah, whatever nerd

gradenko_2000 posted:There is no big enough. Paradox devs, I hope you guys are keeping abreast of this and all. If the Kaiserreich dudes can come up with a historical figure for whatever obscure democratic/authoritarian-left/right party of a totally fictional nation, up to and including the German East China Company, surely these guys can do better. What's worse is that EvW only has Head of State and Head of Government slots, while Kaiserreich's team has to find people to head intelligence, internal security, diplomacy, industry, and each branch of the military. uPen posted:Apparently they're taking suggestions for historical leaders too so I guess they really are just trying to cut corners. I'd post asking for clarification but I don't really feel like getting banned from the paradox forums. Call them out politely, like Rannos22 said. This is pathetic/hilarious and I think I've finally been convinced not to get this game.

Gorgo Primus posted:It has begun! So we can have Prime Minister Neckbeardicus, but they decide to leave out Kim Campbell? Yeah she was only prime minister for half a year, but going by those death dates (which I'm assuming is the end of the scenario, late 1993), she's still within the time period at mid 1993. But nope, random forums dudes over our only female prime minister. Oh well, at least I'll be able to conquer the world as Joe Clark, immortal God Emperor

Gorgo Primus posted:Have you PLAYED their Cold War scenarios in AOD? They are as bad as this... hence my comments in the OP and earlier. I never really play the hoi games past the defeat of one of the major blocs to be honest so I wouldn't know. AoD was a good game for ww2 at least until darkest hour came around. Seriously pdox get the darkest hour guys to make a Cold War game, the bar has been set pretty low surely they can't do worse.

The only thing I've ever gotten slapped for was calling HoI 3 a buggy piece of poo poo when it was released. Reason: Swearing. They can be very immature when they see disagreement. EvW is eerily reminding me of Supreme Ruler: Cold War. Another one of those games that flopped under the weight of its own ambition due to not having coders capable of tackling everything.

Tulip posted:Is this question purely rhetorical or are you also asking "Why aren't there more suggestions for restored Byzantium in Turkey"? Good point. When they get to Turkey one of you should put on a lovely plastic crown and dub yourself Constantine XI. And then someone else could be Murat VI to cover the Turcophiles.

It makes sense when you consider Paradox's Byzantium fetish for fallen empires, apply it to Germany, but also remember you can't use the 3rd Reich because that would be awkward, so they go with the empire just before that. That being said, I'm still holding out hope the game is so awful as to have 3rd Reich 2: Reich Harder be possible .

Raskolnikov38 posted:These people made arsenal of democracy how are they loving this up so much AOD ran like poo poo, still used the same map, had poor mod support and stopped getting patched far too soon. I mean, it was cool at the time because it was a compiled HOI2 that you didn't have to hex-edit to get running in a window and in high-res and you couldn't break it over your knee with Tactical Bomber and Infantry-spam, but it's not THAT hard to see that maybe this dev team was overreaching.

As someone who to this day strongly prefers Arsenal of Democracy to any other Hearts of Iron 2 iteration I still cannot believe that this game is being made by the same people. Everything from that stream seems like an evil April fools joke gone on for waaay to long.

CK3 is out of the question, expansions are set up for another year or so. I'd guess at another Rome game. Hell, maybe the timeframe will be large enough that a Mega-LP can go from 0 AD to the end of World War II.

Pakled posted:This We Are The World thing turned EvW from a disappointment into a disaster. It would be a cute idea for filling out the cabinets of tiny or ahistorical or separatist states for which not a whole lot of records exist, but they're accepting submissions for countries like Belgium and Canada and Finland for which a trip to Wikipedia should be sufficient for finding a ton of potential leaders of every available ideology. Yeah not sure why they are just not using a beta/alpha tester to do the necessary research and even fill in blanks in a more realistic way if needed instead of having people post their face to get included in game. Heck I don't wanna see gamers faces in my games :p edit: for new game if it's a big one I'd guess HOI4 but I really secretly hope EU:R2 edit2: problem with EU:R2 is that I suppose Doomdark would be the lead which can't happen as he is busy with CK2.

Have they finally gotten someone to make a decent space game of any description? The last few years have been a train wreck as far as they are concerned. In regards to the whole EvW thing, wasn't the point to add Real people from History™ aswell as random nobodies for certain minor parties/fringe political views and only for certain countries?. Not that I think it's a good idea.
