Can't wait for them to announce more than a year of dev diaries for a game that won't be released until Q3 2018!

Rome II is actually a Stellaris expansion, in the tradition of that one Star Trek episode.

Victoria III is also a Stellaris expansion, in the tradition of that other Star Trek episode.

You can probably find 90% of all historical and fantasy settings as themed planets in an episode of Star Trek, right?

Honestly, a Cold War era Paradox game that's actually developed by Paradox with a focus on politics/diplomacy rather than being a World War 3 simulator would be awesome.

Rome II but it's actually an mmo where each player plays a senator like Wiz's Crete LP.

In fairness, I think they've said they're trying hard not to do this after HoI4s multiple delays. If were lucky they're aiming for a fall release or something.

How long was Stellaris from announcement to release? I feel like it was... I dunno nine months or so?

It is what the forum is about, they renamed it. So, congrats to people who want realistic WWII RTSs, and those of us who wanted a new Viki or Rome can wait longer....

The game is only about Normandy it seems, but this being Paradox, it'll be DLC haven with Market Garden, Husky, Avalanche and the rest of it down the line.

Yeah, blah. They should really be clear if it's an internal title when they're teasing stuff, so as not to get us excited for a real Paradox game. :smith:

I wonder if they'll go back to using corny live action cutscenes like they had in Act of War...

Regardless, a tactical RTS set in WW2 could be fun. I've enjoyed most of their otrher games though their Wargame series is a bit of a mixed bag at times.

Yeah, their former publishers pushing for naval u it's kinda wrecked Wargame for me.

Is it going to be basically ww2 Wargame? Cause that would own

Eugen are great, but as many of us will testify from the Wargame days they've had difficulty communicating with players in the past and really, really struggle with 'more does not equal better'. Hopefully they'll get a firm guiding hand from Paradox on this one (and also Paradox have learned that throwing money on developers they think are cute is nice but not a valid strategy for success).

Yeah, it does feel a bit dumb that a single division attacking a province with seventy divisions in it prevents those seventy divisions leaving the province until it is defeated.

It should really just "lock in" the combat width (or maybe combat width x2) of the combat and allow the excess to move around.

The main problem with that bug is that the AI doesn't seem to be subject to the rule that you can't attack with less than 20% org (or something like that). So it will keep throwing the same defeated division back into combat on the very next tick even though it shouldn't be able to.
