He's an AI programmer. He also posted here that the difficulty levels are actual levels apparently and not just modifiers in EU4. I'm definitely interested in seeing this.

OK, that is literally the best news I've read about EU4 to date. Nothing annoys me more than a strategy game that compensates for AI deficiencies by providing the AI with statistical/mechanical buffs (well, our tactical AI is terrible, so pow, the AI can withstand 25% more damage than you can and all their units do 25% more damage than you do -- enjoy!) Though, to be fair, AI is like, the ultimate hard problem right now.

Agreed. It's why I prefer to play on normal difficulty in games that have that sort of poo poo, and then cheat the AI resources and stuff like that for when I want them to give me a bit more of a challenge.

When Johnny Komnenos, an unassuming law student at Harvard University found the imperial seal for The Byzantine Empire (A.k.a. Rome) in his deceased father's attic, he knew that nothing would ever be the same. A self-proclaimed Neo-Marxist, the young man had only just been elected imperator of the student body government, but he now knew that his true destiny lay across the ocean. [img-self-pic.jpg]

EvW was always going to be a huge pile of poo poo. They're making a Cold War grand strategy that's focused on military conflict. Surely hardly anybody here was going to buy it. At this point I'm just enjoying We Are The World as the  icing on the poo poo cake, and it is beautiful. This atrocious fanfiction is going into an actual game. It's glorious. I cannot wait to see what insane genocide apologism/nationalism/revisionism comes out of the woodwork next.

Also they can do missions like air superiority or escort while in V2 they just get tacked onto a unit just like cavalry. While it wouldn't be perfect, making helicopters work like airplanes do now in V2, adding in missiles, jets, and carriers like in HoI, the factions from HoI (so like NATO, Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, and maybe a third fascist one instead of Allies, Comintern, and Axis) and changing around some politics (replace all anarcho-liberals with green or proper anarchist parties, add secessionist parties and relevant generic peaceful secession events, etc) would basically give you a game that can kinda run from 1836-1991. It would have to simplify a lot and World War 2 would basically be "a LOT of stacks smashing into eachother for a long time!" but I can see it.

And here I was hoping that this game would allow me to carry on from the end of my Gary Grisgby LP's to really see what kind of a mess I've made of the world. Although at this rate Germany winning WWII will be a scenario, and I'll have lest modding to do when I pick up a copy for 50p. Ah well, at least its only a couple of weeks to EUIV.

You could run it Balance of Power-style where setting off a nuclear war is (considered to be) an instant game over.

Paradox can't cancel EvW because then the EvW devs would own the engine. However, it's already owned by Ubik, so it's impossible.

Where's all this Hitler stuff coming from? I'll have you know that Prussia is perfectly fine to be nationalist about . And the guy took over all those lands peacefully, didn't you read that?! I can't even pretend-defend a united Germany still being called Prussia and the Kingdom of Prussia suddenly becoming the Empire of Prussia (because the guy is suddenly a Kaiser) though.

The only outright terrible entry I've seen in the second round of We Are The World so far is this one in the Afghanistan thread:quote:The obvious one: And to be fair, it's terrible enough to get called out even over there. Not a lot of selfies this time around, it's mostly crowdsourced research and developers going "We can't use that image". There's also this exchange between a regular poster and a dev: quote:
This game is going to suck.

Osma bin Laden reminds me of something, does the game has a mechanic to simulate the different ideological faction in different countries or the ability of foreign powers to supply these faction to change the political alliance of these countries?
