It's a great deal and I'm glad you guys are doing a humble bundle. That said EU3 complete has a really dumb name and you guys should stop selling it.

There were two whole waves of EU3 Chronicles keys being given away for free this year. I think Paradox are fine.

e: that does however make it a bit weird that the bundle is EU3 Complete

Littlefinger posted:

Yeah, but that's precisely why people are a tad disappointed with this. Paradox was being very generous with Chronicles during the run-up for EU4, putting it in an indie bundle and handing keys out for free. Now that EU4 is actually out, making EU3 a bit of a legacy product, it's a bit odd to see them backtrack and try to cash in on the DLC again instead of using the polished Chronicles experience to promote EU4.

I don't know, I'm no marketing expert but I'd think making it EU3 Chronicles would only help sell more copies of EU4. If a person has a positive experience with the copy of EU3 they get in the bundle, they aren't going to go "Okay, now I should get the rest of the expansions!" they'll go "Okay, now I should really try out EU4!"

Also I was just making a joke about how confusing the naming is on these products.

It's even set in the same universe as the Majesty series, whose lore/world really clicked with me for some reason.

Is EU3 still worth playing without chronicles? Or will it give me such a bad first impression that I will forever be scared away from buying EU4?

Darkrenown posted:

You do see that none of the games their are bundled with all of their DLCs, right? It's a bonus it's Complete and not EUIII base.

The AI is kind of weak but yes, it's probably the best Master of Magic-like made.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:

Whoa, that's ridiculously high praise. Is it really that good? Better than Age of Wonders Shadow Magic?

Fintilgin posted:

You should probably do a little research first, although it's not that expensive. Warlock is pretty much constant combat and there isn't really much in the way of developing your 'civ' beyond throwing down buildings and trying to swarm your neighbors.

I dunno. I didn't like it, but I think I was expecting more from it, when it's really a smallish budget title.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:

Well, the same could be said for Master of Magic or most fantasy 4X games, really. It being heavily combat focused with only minimal actual civ building is a staple of the genre. I was just wondering how it compared to its peers like Age of Wonders.

Ghost of Mussolini posted:

Is Warlock: Master of the Arcane good? Looks like a civ-lite with fantasy elements.

Darkrenown posted:

I entirely agree the name is dumb now. I guess you know, but it was complete when it was made. I'm not sure why it's a problem to rebrand it, not my area, but apparently it is

Thanks, but you see I don't understand why it's

any_country = { limit = { THIS = { has flag

instead of just

any_country = { limit = { has flag

Basically, you just need to find the office for whoever is in charge of that, then you burst in and fling both of the doors wide open and announce "Hey listen here Buster Brown, you're going to change the name of EU3: Complete or you can take your business and shove it up your Byz-hole." Then after their hair tumbles back down around their shoulders after being blown back by your outburst, they'll say "Yy-yes Mister Darkrenown right away sir" and start typing furiously on a keyboard and fix everything up. Its an easy fix.

The purpose of that flag check is to hide the any_country in the event tooltip. It checks against the flag that was set two lines up, meaning it's properly executed on click but not on tooltip. THIS is the country getting the event (Brazil).

Riso posted:

I am sorry this just confuses me more. So does only Brazil receive the event, or any country holding brazilian culture provinces?
