They probably could do something like that, actually, based on what they described. Clothing and face are generated separately like CK2, so for empires with certain ethics they could be given uniforms that reflect their particular ruling style - fancy futuristic stuff for a technocracy, Spartan jumpsuits for a military dictatorship, etc.

Empress Theonora posted:Paradox should really... like... do something about all of the weird nazis and racists and reactionaries who have taken roost in their official forums. Or just be more aggressive with forum moderation in general. Pretty much everyone online has been reminded at some point or another that 1st amendment protections don't apply on internet forums, might as well go ahead and start openly banning Hitler-did-nothing-wrong sorts. It'll be a shitfest on the forums for a period, but the pseudo-Nazis are just really loud and not actually a sizable chunk of the playerbase, right?

I'm pretty sure that I'm-not-a-nazi-but grogs make up a solid 20% of the HoI userbase soooo.... purging the Plaza might not do anything good for the Pdx bottom line. It would be the Correct thing to do, however.

Basically a very gradual and granular progression towards a diplomatic victory as opposed to the Civ style "Unite behind me as supreme leader" binary vote that either fails completely or wins you the game at one stroke.

Baronjutter posted:I just find it weird and gross and very paradoxforums that racial purge mechanics is something they really really want. I can get the argument for terrible nazi things to happen in a WWII game because that's history and it was a very important part of the time period. But in a space fantasy game?? In a game that will allow you to have slavery as a policy people are upset that the human names aren't white enough and why can't we have internal genocide and slavery?!?! Actually it's really hard and, I would imagine, really expensive to get hold of actual SS or Wehrmacht uniforms. In fact they tend to be simply modified NVA (that is army of the GDR) uniforms which were very similar to the Wehrmacht uniforms. I think even the replicas tend to be based off the look of the NVA uniforms because they are simply so much easier to get hold off and work off than the nazi uniforms, where you might have mostly photos nowadays, while the NVA uniforms (at least elements of them) are easily obtained in Germany. Thinking about it that's pretty ironic in at least two ways. First you have a communist nation basing the look of their military forces on the nazis who they opposed in most every way and wanted to distance themselves from. Second you might have a bunch of nazi cosplayer geeks unknowingly running around in communist army uniforms with swastikas and iron crosses replacing the socialist imagery.

Much like in EU where multi-cultural empires get advisors from other cultures I'm sure the same will be true for Space-EU. So if you're "empire" is multi-species you'll get a mix of leaders based off the demographics of your nation and of course your policies towards other species.

I'm planning to start a game as militarist/xenophobe/individualist but I wasn't really going for the nazi angle and the varied portraits are welcome. I'm probably going for a more Starship Troopers angle but I like to think that humanity is just poo poo scared of what's out there and gearing up for the worst.

Funky Valentine posted:Write the explanation for CK2 slowdowns involving Greeks trying to castrate everybody on a wall. Alright so let me tell you how the mind of a Greek work. Every day a greek ruler would wake up, ask himself "So who can I castrate today?" and he would look at every single living being he ruled over and ask them "Are you my prisoner? No? Well gently caress" and move on to the next one. This is how it would do over the entire feudal hierarchy. If any poor creature would prove to be in the greeks dungeon he would pay them a visit in junction with a very rusty knife and say something how about the great Titan/Scripter of Goosecreature compels him to perform this hideous act upon the creature. The Optimization I did was that "Huh I am not directly in control of this guy, I'll delegate the castration duty to my vassal". The moral of the story? Delegation of important tasks will make your project function more efficient. Especially if it is about castrating people. Why this is not in the bible or Hávamál I do not know.

They haven't shown or said. From the look of the portraits though, I'm guessing it's mostly blinking, twitching mandables, and bobbing heads. Layered 2d art with some movement rules.

In the future Humanity won't just be black brown and white, they could choose to be any colour of the rainbow, or not even to look human. Furries could take on animal form for example. What I'm saying is that to create a provocation with the Klingons, I'd make my ambassador to them a person who's fursona is a Tribble, so the klingons would butcher him in rage and give us a plausible excuse to annex them.

If so there unironicaly better be an option to wage internal genocide against fursonas.
