They're probably trying to acquire and establish new IPs, Paradox also publishes shitloads of games, including my favorite Mount and Blade. Hopefully this works out better than the "War of..." games

The mount and blade turks escaped from paradox before bannerlord started i think

I just lost a Medri Bahri game. I had conquered down to Mogadishu, had Alodia as a vassal, and managed to get my country's ruling dynasty to be the Solomonids. I claim Ethiopia's throne when they have an heir with a weak claim and a regency council, and launch a secession war, where Alodia's army fails to ever reinforce mine in a battle and I loving lose everything except my original starting provinces and the provinces that make up Adal. I even set their army behavior to be supportive, and spent months before the war in their capital where their army was, hoping they would link up with me. I really wish the AI was better in these games.

e:Is there any possible way to salvage this game or should I just abandon it? I went bankrupt twice hiring shitloads of mercs trying to crush Ethiopia, and now none of the coptic nations will ally me and I think I'm hosed.

I restarted and was doing really well, 1550 rolls around and Persis declares war on me with the ottomans as an ally. They occupy all of my poo poo until they get 100 warscore and set me back to square one. I'm really beginning to hate the Ottomans.

Jesus christ why do dumbfucks in the main thread keep panicking over incomplete information about innocuous poo poo. Like most of the stuff the bitch about only makes sense if they read the dev diary and intentionally misinterpret it in the most retarded way possible.

pdox devs "We put in anomalies that kick off Crusader King style quests that use your scientists skills and personality traits to influence the outcome"
goon: "if you dont minmax your guys youll miss out on things PERMENTLY and lose the whole game :supaburn:"

god forbid a game give you negative outcome for you to play around.

Coring cost is bad and one of the ideas that came fresh from post EU3 development. Paradox is starting to learn better now.

Space 4xs are rarely worth a dang but it's new paradox so we'll see.

Is paradox releasing a space 4x? I remember I had a lot of fun with Sins of a Solar Empire but it was me and some friends playing multi-player so pretty much even lovely games are fun for a while.

i love their theorycrafting of "hmm if i was making the game i would do it like this" and then lay out the most insane, lovely convoluted system possible because they're loving retards who have no idea how to make a fun game, because as i mentioned they're retarded. they love to make fun of the guy who made magna mundi but they're literally exactly the same him except at least he tried, all they have is a bunch of lovely ideas they're too stupid to even attempt to implement. i hate them

If they can make something that's a better strategy game than Civ BE but not a massive pile of stats like Sword of the Stars or Endless Space, then I will enjoy it.
