The performance penalty of castration is the reason I only blind people.

Wait, does castrating people actually slow down the game? Also, I think people want playable theocracies is less about playing them and more about prevent a bullshit game over when the Byzantine Empire makes the Ecumenical Patriarch the emperor for some hosed up reason.

EUIV was a bit sluggish for me even at release. And that's understandable given how many things are being processed at the same time in any given game, but it does make me wonder how future Paradox games are going to be optimized to deal with that.

Eventually possibly the event compiler will be able to determine interdependencies and split up the event checks across multiple cores? Other things (supply distance, coring distance, income, AI calculations, etc.) are extremely parallelizable.

Though of course it can be improved a lot more I believe but what I've found most efficent is when I make the code smart enough to determine "this code can never happen for these 30 000 characters, so I'm never gonna test that" Me and the dev Alexivan also implemented an optimization pre-processor to the language which tries to optimize the order in the logical branching of the triggers in the events.

It's a well-known fact that what more people want in CK2, is definitely more map area that only the player ever enters or leaves, as well as baron-level courts, so the game can just light on fire past 1000 AD. Seriously I still don't get why RoI wasn't just a total conversion mod that let you use the new religions/cultures in the main map ruler designer. What a massive sink in performance for so little gain. Can't wait for that thing changing the Flykirate to use the lovely college of cardinals screen that you have to click approximately 8 million times to add any significant gold to. Strip the last fun thing out of non-Abrahamics I guess. Nobody plays Coptics or Neostorians anyway so why bother giving them anything cool.

It might be an interesting experiment to try to just break out CK2 spinoffs for mesoamerica, europe, west africa, central asia, india, china, japan, southeast asia But for the time being I like RoI, but I often play in Persia and the like.

HoI IV delayed again? I guess it was a given considering the lack of development diaries covering Hitlers most faithful ally. Pictured, Johan realizing that they've forgotten to add the most important portrait & feature to HoI IV  As for CK2 spin-offs: Romance of the Three Kingdoms with palyable roaming characters/heroes, come on.

Groogy is a retard who doesn't understand why his game is fun. Not surprising to me though since a lot of SA mapgamer people seem to think it's a piece of webcomic art generation software instead of a game that you should play.

Fintilgin posted:As far as CKII goes I'd really like to see more focus on the late game. Not expanding the timeline or anything, but more focus on states become early modern etc. Also make it easier to get to the late game by optimizing some of the insane slowdown the longer you play. I liked how the CK1 tech tree had everything labeled, so you could see how you slowly progressed from leather armor to chain mail, or from ladders and rams to trebuchets , and especially the noble tree, where I think you were literally unlocking manners and court etiquette. The early game characters really felt like illiterate warlords squatting in hillforts. Don't get me wrong, the CK2 tech tree is a much better system , but I wish it had some window dressing instead of just clicking buttons to watch numbers get bigger.

The early game characters really felt like illiterate warlords squatting in hillforts. For real, one of the changes CK2 did that I disliked the most was when on some expansion (I think Old Gods) they expanded the buildings system and replaced all the unique names for buildings on different levels with just "Keep I/II/III", "Barracks I/II/etc" and so on. Flavour, even small flavour, can go a long way.

So is the moose leg something for sale in Stockholm or do you go hunt your own? How well does the leg keep? My sister's dog loves to chew and this might make a hilarious gift some day.

Deceitful Penguin posted:Can you point out to me the players who looked at the College of Cardinals system and said: "What a fun, rewarding and engaging game system. I wish there was more of this in the game!" ? Nope. Can you point out the universal poll of CK2 players that proves no one likes it? I was mostly thinking of India when I made my previous post though, I haven't actually played a Catholic realm since SoA came out - and I don't work on CK, so I have no first hand experience of how the CoC plays. My point was just that it's dumb to say people who like certain aspects of a game are retards just because you (general you) don't like them yourself. If significant numbers of players didn't like map or timeline expansions then they wouldn't sell and we'd stop making them. Raskolnikov38 posted:So is the moose leg something for sale in Stockholm or do you go hunt your own? How well does the leg keep? My sister's dog loves to chew and this might make a hilarious gift some day. They're sold in big pet stores here, I don't hunt. They keep pretty well, they're dried or something and the meat is more or less jerky.
