unwantedplatypus posted:Armstrong is a comet destruction game. You play a space station out in the ort cloud. A large wave of comets is approaching the solar system. If they get through, all hell will break loose on Earth. It is up to you and a few other intrepid astronauts to stop certain apocalypse. What if it's like other Paradox games but you play as the comet?

GrossMurpel posted:What if it's like other Paradox games but you play as the comet? You joke about this, but I would pay money for a CK2 DLC that allowed you to trigger events for characters and perform other "god actions" in observe mode. Sometimes, something really interesting is on the verge of happening and it just needs a little push to set everything in motion. I know you can do this through the console now, but it'd be cooler if it was integrated into the game with a proper UI and stuff.

It may be grognardy as hell but I'd play a game based on just the internal politics of the Roman Empire at its height. Keep the people happy while simultaneously building your influence in the Senate through any means necessary.

I know Augustus used the Senate to shoulder the legislative load a bit, the last Emperor I can recall bothering with it is Claudius who was ranting about how you either vote yes or no for a law not circumvent it with bullshit parliamentary rules. quote:If you accept these proposals, Conscript Fathers, say so at once and simply, in accordance with your convictions. If you do not accept them, find alternatives, but do so here and now; or if you wish to take time for consideration, take it, provided you do not forget that you must be ready to pronounce your opinion whenever you may be summoned to meet. It ill befits the dignity of the Senate that the consul designate should repeat the phrases of the consuls word for word as his opinion, and that every one else should merely say 'I approve', and that then, after leaving, the assembly should announce 'We debated'. Glad things have changed in 2000 years http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O_GRkMZJn4  Shame that we've lost a bit of the eloquence in our rants.

Both games are Paradox Interactive-published pixel art roguelite platformers and they deal with themes like man dealing with his own mortality and the unyielding passage of time. Armstrong is set in space and Nero is set inside Nero Burning ROM's development team's headquarters.

This is probably of pretty limited interest, but what the hell. I wanted to embrace my inner creepy nationalist and do a Norse conquest of paradise. I was less keen on playing through 500 years of CK2 to get a really weird Europe and convert it just for the Norseness; I like the layout as it is. So, I made the world's laziest Norse mod.  It's the bog standard start and history*, only with a magically Norse Kalmar Union and the Livonian Order and Riga replaced by the equally theocratic Jomsvikings. I had no particularly good notions on titles and names for them, so they got to be very Swedish Latvians. The events, diplomacy and nordic history files on things that aren't religions are unaltered so being Norse is a bit dull at the moment, but having not touched the mod stuff before I'm pretty happy for an afternoon of mucking around. It should be possible to make interesting without too much work or getting very far away from being just the regular game with Norse for no reason in particular. I'll see how test games go tomorrow, I guess. *Okay, fine, I also upped the tax base in the Norse bits. I'm rationalizing it as compensating for the diplomatic situation but, really, I'm just cheating because I want to stomp things.

When I first wrote that I was thinking more during the actual Empire times. The Senate had almost no formal political power, but plenty of influential power within the Byzantine branch. More or less taking CK2 to a more extreme type with little conquest and more internal rivalry between the aristocrats/politicians and the emperor. Now, of course, I want a game that somehow captures the transition from Aristocratic Republic rule to Imperial/Absolute rule and the power struggles that happened.

So I reinstalled Vicky 2 on a whim, and got the two expacs for it. Good times. Playing as the USA, doing the typical 1870s stuff like colonizing Africa and wrangling over who gets to build the Panama canal, when all of a sudden 150 communist brigades rise up in New York and Washington. Since that's like 5 times my current standing army, I guess we're the USSA now. So how do I keep these Jacobin rebels from popping up all over? I get that they want votin' and stuff, but I can't seem to reintroduce that to mollify them. So it's whack a mole all over again. Which I know is a Paradox tradition, but it still annoying.

Rebels don't have any technology so if you have a sufficiently advanced army, you can probably break their poo poo.

There's some setting you change to make rebels disappear after spawning but Jacobins will revolt until you have some sort of democratic government again which you can't have under communism (lol). Or you could go down the route of my communist mega-germany and murder 80 million revolting civillians. Though by the 1930s some event glitched and allowed one of my houses to be electable while remaining communist so maybe find and fire that event.

I also just started playing as the USA in Vic2, but I keep getting Jacobin rebels after the Civil War, despite still having a fully-democratic government (with max political reforms, in fact). Any idea what it is they want? I'm playing with NNM, if that helps.

Check if there are any lobbies that have have gotten really militant. Or see why your militancy is rising so much. Or you can send the army in to crush the dissenting fucks. Its the 19th century, it's not like you dont have skeletons in your closet already

You don't actually have to play to the end-date to use the converter. (Fun fact: I have played nearly 350 hours of CK2 without ever once seeing the 'out of time' screen.)

Yeah I guess it's a militancy issue, I'll just have to figure out why they're so unhappy, and what exactly they propose I do about it. It just feels weird to have mass republican revolutions in a country that already has all of the institutions they're clamoring for, I suppose.

Go in to the population screen for the whole country, then have it sort by militancy. Mouse over the militancy for a pop and it should give you a breakdown about whats affecting their militancy.

Sephardim lived in Iberia, and were mostly scattered to the wind after the Reconquista.

And the reason they're separate cultures instead of Germans/Italians/etc is because you need an appropriate pop to exist already for conversions to happen so because there are no Jewish Germans or Ashkenazi protestants Jews should stay Jewish.

Near as I can tell there's little distinction between an ethnically Sephardic person and an ethnically Spanish person, though I could be wrong there.

How do I keep a country in my alliance in Darkest Hour? I'm trying to keep the CSA allied with my in my KR France game. At first I thought it was because they had cores on Mexico, so I banned the Mexicans from my alliance, but they still won't stay in, even after I start acceptalling them into my alliance. I've read somewhere that your allies will leave if they have poor relations with other members of the alliance, but they've got good relations (+160 and up) with everybody else in the alliance as well (except for me now because you lose 100 relations every time they leave, but they were leaving when we had +200 relations). What else could it be? Is my belligerency too high (60-something)? Another ally has 90 something belligerency, is that the problem?

So I'm looking at returning to Victoria 2, and I'm trying to decide between PDM and NNM. In the past I've used NNM which has suited me fine, but there were a few little discrepancies that hurted ~my immersion~ and it hasn't been updated in quite a while. PDM on the other hand has seen more updates as well as having its own mini-mods which I could potentially use to tweak things, but I'm wary of its checkered past and the stupid things that've been added to it previously. Does anyone have experience with the latest versions of PDM?

Vanilla feels boring to me - the last time I played (when HoD was first released) it felt very static. Russia didn't expands southwards, the Ottoman Empire never became the sick man of Europe, nobody made inroads into Asia. The historical railroading of NNM and PDM can be extreme at times but I prefer that to the alternative.
