If any pdx devs read this: can you add a beta to Steam that always tracks the latest patch, including experimental ones? So like I could switch to that branch and automatically go from 1.1 -> 1.2 beta -> 1.2 -> 1.3 beta -> 1.3 etc. as you guys release them without having to set it manually each time.

The DD clearly states there's a "general belief" the dead are rising while the event text talks about rumours. It's an event chain about fear of the other and mob mentality.

Everyone who wants CK2 presumably has it by now, so Paradox should just be focused whatever resources they still have on it making DLC that will piss off their fanbases the most. Its not enough that say Sunset Invasion is optional, its the very fact that you spent time and brainpower on it at all gets these weirdos incensed. I can respect a company that alienates its worst customers out of principle. Bring on the zombie bears.

The thing I find most funny about Sunset Invasion is that it's the only DLC that is aimed at lategame, I'm pretty sure. I've never even seen it trigger without me doing it with the console because I never complete a game.

Might as well, at this point.  EDIT: I'm mad you're not adding zombies.

Understandably they don't want to jump into any wacky themed DLC headfirst any more, but its a sad state. We could have wizard DLC or some kind of age of heroes Arthurian/Nibelung scenarios today if it were a happier universe. Though if it was skeleton DLC I imagine that would be bare bones as well.

Understandably they don't want to jump into any wacky themed DLC headfirst any more, but its a sad state. We could have wizard DLC or some kind of age of heroes Arthurian/Nibelung scenarios today if it were a happier universe. I seriously doubt that the Sunset Invasion backlash turned them off wacky DLC. I would be surprised if we didn't eventually get one for HoI4 considering that the focus is so tight there are only so many "historical" expansions that they could reasonably make content for. I think the only reason there hasn't been one since Sunset Invasion is that the well is just so deep for "historical" expansions to CK2 or EU4.

I'd gladly pay 10 bucks for an expansion that's a professionaly made alt-history scenario on the level of HOI2/DH Kaiserreich. Given how I literally bought Darkest Hour to play Kaiserreich that's exactly what I did.

All this talk of a insane undead/ alt-history/ low fantasy dlc sounds like it could be a reason to get back into ck2 after a long hiatus. And if it pisses off the forum spergs even better. Edit: it's a four year old game, pdox already has their money, make a kick rear end crazy alt history dlc and close out the development cycle on a high note.

I fired up CK2 the other day for the first time in a couple of years. After playing a lot of HOI4 and EU4, CK2 looks a lot less shiny than the newer games.

I dunno, they spruced it up back during Charlemagne or around there. HOI4 definitely looks slicker but I think CK2 is about on par with EU4. actually EU4 is kind of feeling patched together these days, interface-wise. especially the fact it wants to restart without giving you any warning.

What's a fun thing to do in EU4? I can make a lot of my own fun in CK2 and HOI4, but EU4 makes me feel like  a lot of the countries feel same-y.I've had it for years, and bought all except the latest major dlcs, but I only have like 20 hours in it.

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:What's a fun thing to do in EU4? I can make a lot of my own fun in CK2 and HOI4, but EU4 makes me feel like You haven't played enough of the game to see the differences. CK2 titles are much more same-y than EU4 nations really, starting location, religion, and tech group influence the long-term trajectory of your nation a lot in EU4. For example, in CK2 what's the difference between playing as Venice or Genoa? Not much - both are Italian merchant republics and will probably end up uniting Italy and becoming functionally identical. In EU4 they're quite different simply because of how trade flows - Venice gets immediate benefits from dominating the eastern Mediterranean but can't bring home New World wealth later very easily, while Genoa is basically unable to do anything in the nodes nearest to them for a long time but has greater potential for benefiting from an overseas empire. Most nations have something interesting going on by virtue of their position, neighbors, etc. Achievements will guide you to do specific interesting stuff as particular nations as well - they are basically the win conditions of this game rather than just fluff. Europe is kind of boring until you are comfortable playing the smaller nations there, though. You could play as Ethiopia, Majapahit, or some other Indian Ocean-adjacent nation for a very different experience.

If you think EU4 nations are samey, feel free to pick a fight with late game Prussia. I'm sure it'll go great.
