We hired two people on the June opening (I should know, I was one of them), and this is supposed to be a new opening.  Hire me anyways, I'll ship my entire library over and donate it to the company to compensate for the extra costs involved. God, I want to get out of here.

I guess it's time to finally reveal myself as the secret puppetmaster behind the development of Realpolitiks. While pretending to be a loyal employee, I was working to bring Paradox down from the inside all along. The day of reckoning has come!

Having done the tutorials, have to say it is not nearly as janky as the Supreme Ruler games, though clearly not as refined as Paradox more recent releases. It is definitely more gamey than simulationey and has a lot of moving pieces. Further report after doing one of the scenarios.

 What the gently caress is this. Does this game have space colonization? If it does I'm gonna buy it day 1. Also, a reliable source told me Uranus is actually blue, what's up with that?

Then Russia attacked Poland. I got Russia in the ropes, so they nuked Berlin and tanked my attack power (and increased their belligerence and brought the world closer to nuclear winter), so I peaced out liberating Kalingrad and... St. Petersburg as democracies.

Phlegmish posted:So is it actually a fun game to play or is it another Steppe Wolf that got on Steam? I had fun from the demo and am looking forward to the full release, like I said it is not nearly as bad as Supreme Ruler or Steppe Wolfe, though it has a fair amount of Eastern European jank and it is not as refined as CK2 or EU4. I really recommend doing the tutorial because while it uses a formula evidently derived from Paradox games it turns some assumptions on its head. The projects, task and bloc systems are essential to understanding how the game works, and it is much more gamist than simulationist in design. One major difference that I liked is that war is way more abstracted, you essentially assign units to a campaign and then order operations which uses and targets different units, providing or losing you warscore based on their success, which works, since the focus of the game is on geopolitics. Germany and Russia got a lot of custom events during the demo, but they are probably some of the more content heavy countries and were deliberately chosen for this. I played through the Germany scenario, which tasks you with forming a Germanic Bloc and containing Russia as its main goals. It is definitely rough around the edges, the UI could use some work and the five years allowed in the demo while full are certainly not enough to assess the quality of a grand strategy game (See: Stellaris), so it is very possible that its systems break down on the long term and the jank wins over the mechanics, but appears to be a respectable effort from a new studio and I am glad to see new ideas being brought to this genre. I'll be likely buying it on the 16th and will drop fuller impressions when my schedule permits, provided it is not considered off-topic for this thread.

Has Victoria II (Steam) been patched to 3.04 in the last couple months? You can still select the xmas beta or a 3.03 old version so I'm not sure what to use. No mods. Thanks
