I finally saw Germany win the war in Kaiserreich. It happened because they got sucked into a war in China over the AOG that dragged on and on so they lost their peacetime IC modifier in like 1937 and just outproduced France.

I kinda wonder if Switzerland will be a viable nation with all those new mechanics, could be fun to turn entire Europe neutral by force.

Alchenar posted:One of the things I really liked about GalCiv was the Good/Evil decisions you could take, whereby you could either help the non-spacefaring natives of the planet you've colonised into your empire and allow space for them, or decide that they are delicious with a side of salad. It makes me wish some of the options in Distant Worlds had more depth of them, since you could assign polices for conquered planets like simply assimilating or extermination to resettling the population to your

Good to know I shouldn't buy HoI4 then. EDIT: Actually, I shouldn't. Not even joking. I hate the military aspect of all Paradox games. I can't even stand March of the Eagles, why would I try to play another pdox game centered around warfare?

A friend convinced me to start playing Neptune's Pride and I am amazed at how good it is for a FTP browser game. I never expected to be so into one. It makes me yearn for an advanced version that keeps the basic planetary management and straight-forward combat and conquest mechanics, and just added flavor and detail. It is a basic/simplistic version of most of what I am looking for in a space strategy game.

So you guys remember in the last thread we found that guy who fantasied about Nazi Germany invading the US? He made more posts! For some context, the three options he's talking about : 1) Status quo ante bellum: The Germans just wanted their pre-WW1 borders but Poland wouldn't give in (Danzig Corridor), so WW2 was unleashed. 2) Continentalist theory: Germany wanted continental hegemony in Europe (autarky, drang nach osten, lebensraum) to rival the USA in the future, a cold war of superpowers. 3) Globalist theory: Germany was after world domination, meaning it had to destroy any opposition from other states Übermensch posted:

All I want from HoI4 is the ability to build the Normandy Defense Museum, using captured Allied soliders, to celebrate the brave German boys who gave their lives defending the Reich and the deaths of the villainous multitudes which beset her.

He later on got banned in the thread by the community mod for citing his sources from holocaust denial sites, so we'll never know.

Well if the Soviet Union just gave way and let Germany have the Arkangelsk-Astrakhan line as status quo antebellum borders they could have just deported them instead of having to take more drastic measures.

A timelapse video of the Black Ice mod for HOI3 that doesn't end quite like how you might expect. EDIT: Holy poo poo I just realized how goddamn clickbaity that sounds. I'm really sorry, I swear to god I wasn't doing it on purpose. It's an AI-only/observer game that goes off the rails. gradenko_2000 fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Oct 1, 2015 |

I expect the bigger problem is finding some sort of expansion niche since Sunset Invasion is cool but sort of a slapdash idea/implementation. But making an expansion something like Kaiserreich is a fairly large undertaking even in the recent scheme of expansions basically being new games.

zedprime posted:If backlash on the forums stopped them they would never release another game or expansion. HOI4 seems ripe for this sort of expansion. I would love the poo poo out of an actual, fully fleshed-out version of the Abyss/Armageddon scenario from HOI2, which I still think was an amazing idea with horrendous execution. Seems like it would be a natural choice for multiplayer as well. Or just Plantinean War DLC.
