Phlegmish posted:Three projects? Well, now I'm just really curious. Yeah, in this thread Johan says: Johan posted:Lots of projects are in development for far longer than that before they get announced.. Augustus will NOT be revealed at Gamescom, nor will Tiberius nor Titus. My guess is one of those is V3, one might be Rome 2 (which they will continue to tease about right up until announcement) and one...  EDIT: I'll be curious to see if they announce something before HOI4 is out, or if they wait until late summer or early fall when it's been released.

Phlegmish posted:Three projects? Well, now I'm just really curious. Concert of Europe Set in the period between 1814 and 1836, Concert of Europe adds a new twist to Paradox Development Studio's many history based games. Taking place in the peaceful aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, Concert of Europe invites the player to enter a world of intrigue and diplomacy, where victory more often than not is won not through force of arms, but by a silver tongue. Legacy of Steel The date is March 6th, 1953, and Stalin is dead. The fate of millions hangs in the balance, and they need your guiding hand. Will you plot a new course of the USSR, or honor the memory of the man who saved the world from Fascism? The choice is yours, General Secretary. End of History The USSR has fallen, and America reigns supreme. In this game of warfare, diplomacy, and economics, it is your task to maintain America's belief in their final victory, as an enemy thought defeated rebuilds its strength, and the sins of the past come back to haunt the present.

Surely there's some hypergrognard grade tabletop game which has done this already? And not any of those lovely cold war games which focus on diplomacy and missiles, I want to micromanage how many factories we need making different coloured trousers.

I've always thought that would be a perfect name for a modern-era grand strategy game, assuming you don't mind the title of your series being sort of a sarcastic joke. While we're throwing out crap we want to see, Johan please make a title circa 1750-1850 about Enlightenment, industrialization, and Napoleon. ALSO please license the COIN boardgame system from GMT and make some very unprofitable niche titles about dirty wars, thanks

I read in the latest issue of Paradox Power magazine (it's not what you think) that HOI4 will actually be a Mario romhack where all the blocks have been replaced with NATO counters.

It's funny, it very well could be someone testing their mods, or someone who tests the game frequently. Just letting it run in observer mode repeatedly, looking for bugs or odd behavior.

I was too dumbfounded to do anything, when suddenly I got the message that China, evidently pissed at the USSR nuking Iraq, nuked the USSR. The USSR and China proceeded to unload their nuclear arsenals on each other, and once they were out of nukes, France nuked the Soviet Union for good measure. The whole exchange resulted in the deaths of over a billion people. Then Japan conducted coups of the USSR and China, leaving capitalist governments in charge of the irradiated wastelands that used to be China and Russia. America wins by doing nothing

Is there a way to speed up Shadow President, or do you just play it while doing other stuff? I want to like the game but the pace is just so drat slow.

Like, in HoI4, if I knew what file type portraits and company logos used, and what dimensions were used, I'd start fiddling with that even before the game proper comes out. just ask? we use dds for everything, but obvisouly you'll be working with psd or some such and export later. pictures for generals and party leaders are: 156x210 pictures for ministers/laws are: 65x67 (my OCD) pictures for company logos are 64x64 podcat fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Feb 14, 2015 |

YF-23 posted:Free Market is better no matter who you are. To clarify, some countries won't be able to go all the way to Free Market without thirty years to change sliders in, since their government types don't allow it. In that case, it's probably best to go full Central Planning so you're getting at least some benefits (though you also get penalties to upgrading etc. so it's not always guaranteed). If you have the actual unconstrained choice between Free Market and Central Planning, always always always go free market.
