Its also how you get resources to build ships. Theres no socialist planned economy government type so having raider ships blowing up miners is super good

Did HoI4 updates ever fix all the air and naval stuff or has it just been new focus trees for Norway or whatever?

Re: Stellaris, It’s cool that you actually have to put a lot more initial thought and planning into starting wars, and that the warscore goals and rewards system seems less screwed up. I’m REALLY glad that you actually have to put some thought into modifying different types of ships for different roles and setting up good fleet compositions instead of just spamming a jillion of the same high level battleship to win everything- but unfortunately, the total ship limit is really very limited, even in smaller games. Having to wait for your home systems sphere of influence to expand a little further before you can take an uncontested star system was just stupid and it’s great that they got rid of that. Overall, the update fixes a lot of issues (and adds a few issues) but it’s definitely a step forward, and anyone saying old Stellaris was better than 2.0 is a total brainlet.

My biggest problem with Stellaris is unfortunately not really changed, though, which is that the randomized alien empires are a total jumble without any meaning or cohesion so interacting with them and strategizing around them is just kind of a bland chore and the only real way to enjoy the game to the fullest is to turn random empires off and spend a few hours designing a bunch of custom races that actually have some depth to them.

When Stellaris was billed as Space CK2 it sounded a lot better. Now its just the worlds easiest 4X. I guess it looks cool though?

It does not have multiplayer, no. However, with regard to how it is to learn, the game has automation for things which is a) very good and b) adjustible by the player, so you can take over things as you feel comfortable and leave stuff you don't like to the AI while still giving it guidance, so it's actually not that hard to get into!

I also want inner empire strife like your admiralty trying to stage a coup and if you gently caress up your leader dies and you turn into a military dictatorship, or if you play too wide and don't manage your stuff well your empire splits in half. But I think the devs have said that most of the userbase is averse to any kind of setback so it probably won't ever happen.

If people are averse to setbacks they can go play those awful 1 ending VNs or Telltale games IMO

Losing as in, being completely wiped out and taken over by somebody else, is near functionally impossible in any of the normal countries in the modern paradox games. I've lost games trying to do gimmick native stuff or multiplayer HRE games and declaring war on every neighbor and losing in 4 years.

Well, as of the 16th November 1354, Haraldr the Bewitched King of England, Anatolia, Scotland, Jerusalem, Castille and Leon, has finally died at the ripe old age of 419, after siring twenty-seven children (however only one out-lived him) with ten wives. He died doing what he loved; having an orgy while high on drugs. It was also discovered the following morning that his trusty immortal steed Glitterhoof had died in her sleep at the age of 50 in her luxury suite, after someone noticed that she had failed to attend to her duties as Master of the Horse and Commander of the English army, that day. Haraldr accomplished quite a lot, during his lifetime. Not only did he become the leader of the Hermetic Society, Dominican Order and Brotherhood of Assassins, he also invented one of the first European firearms (gifting a prototype to the Chinese Emperor, even) and penned several books; one major work on the topic of astronomy, another chronicling his family, another following his own life specifically, another more detailed book about his hunt for the white stag, along with a couple of other minor works, including a book on mixing drinks. Additionally though, he also sought out and/or stumbled upon a lot of relics in his lifetime. For example he recovered a nail of the true cross, along with Jesus' seamless robe, Jesus' foreskin as well as the Ark of the Covenant. (Among others) Major Isoor posted:Well, my immortal king Haraldr has had quite the life, so far! So much so that I've decided to keep a list of some of the more notable things that he's done thus far. Although King Jedvard the Bear is a brawny genius, I feel that it's gonna be a rough transition, to say the least! I'll keep playing to the end of course, (especially as I'm so close to it, anyway) but drat it's gonna feel weird, without having an immortal king that everyone loves, at the helm. Still, 404 years of Haraldr's rule certainly seems long enough! Also, here's the map so far. The most noteworthy thing to happen recently is that the Wendish Emperor usurped the Byzantine throne, so they're currently a super-empire. Quite powerful, although I don't expect them to last, as they have been having a lot of internal dramas. (Which were helped along by Haraldr sowing dissent, naturally)
