I never played Vicky 2, but I have been listening to Mike Duncan's revolutions podcast and now I'm rooting for Vicky 3. I want to play as a radical second republic spreading republicanism to the rest of Europe. So give me insane economics and Hoi style trees for social and political matters. What would rome2 have other then just being a map painter? We already have total war Rome for that experience.

I've never played it, but apparently according to those who have, there was a pretty interesting internal political simulation in Rome, with the Senate, similar to a kind of proto CKII-with-Conclave-DLC.

Demon_Corsair posted:What would rome2 have other then just being a map painter? We already have total war Rome for that experience. Well, there's obviously the setting,which some people would be really into just for that alone. Beyond that, EU: Rome's unique point was that you played the spirit of a nation, like EU, but you needed to actually implement your will through individual characters with their own agendas, like CK. It was an interesting idea that did sometimes produce neat gameplay, but it was also absolutely an uneasy alliance - from an EU perspective trying to get poo poo done while having to wriggle your way through sometimes arbitrary internal politics could be kinda frustrating (especially if you were playing as a barbarian nation fronting Rome and absolutely NEEDED to do things right to stand a fighting chance), while from a CK2 perspective the characters were too limited to be particularly interesting. I feel like if they made Rome 2, they need to have a very serious rethink about what exactly they want the game to be and get ready to cut things out and reorganize them with a very large knife indeed. Personally, I'd probably lean harder towards the CK influences than the EU influences. Ancient history is pretty often the story of petty political shitfights between elites, and playing a patrician dynasty jockeying for supremacy has a more unique appeal than, as you say, map painting. CK2 can focus more on the feudalism side of character-driven gameplay, while Rome can focus more on functioning within an organized government structure.

Rome: You play an Important Imperial Person. The Empire more or less runs itself with or without you, but you should probably do your job. Your goal is to get the largest possible slice of the pie. Wait a minute, this is just CK2.

I don't actually want "Rome 2," I want a game set in antiquity but with the level of detail and attention that Paradox gives their games (without the rough edges and weird design decisions of e.g. that EU4 mod). Total War games are great for their own reasons but aren't really comparable. e: that said I wouldn't be opposed to Rome: Done Right Edition. Someone in one of these threads talked the other day about how CK2 fundamentally clicks on a political level better than EU4 because your interests as a dude can be diametrically opposed to the interests of your nation and still be the correct choices for you as a player. Something like that does sound pretty cool, and I agree with Tomn about getting a CK2-like with different mechanics being cool although I wonder if that'd tread on the toes of a hypothetical CK3 that actually tries to do e.g. China correctly. Incidentally, "Rome 2" or whatever it'll be had better include China this time. Koramei fucked around with this message at 20:01 on May 13, 2018 |

Radio Free Kobold posted:Rome: You play an Important Imperial Person. The Empire more or less runs itself with or without you, but you should probably do your job. Your goal is to get the largest possible slice of the pie. Like I said: If they make Rome 2 they REALLY need to sit down and think about what will make this special. The best I can come up with off the top of my head is create a CK-style character-driven game, but without the central idea of landed nobility running everything. Give you more scope for poo poo like patricians fighting to be assigned a governorship in a rich, newly-conquered province so you can loot it of all it's worth and bring that money back to Rome in order to agitate for command of one of the new legions invading another area so that you can win the military laurels you need to have a real shot at the consulship, which you may or may not be secretly intending to turn into a principate. Or alternatively, for things like becoming a successful Athenian general but losing one major battle and getting ostracized so that you end up drifting to another country as a mercenary to try and lobby them to attack your home town and put you in charge of it. Just spitballing here, though. Whatever form a new Rome game takes it can't really "evolve" on EU Rome, it needs to come up with a total rethink. Koramei posted:Someone in one of these threads talked the other day about how CK2 fundamentally clicks on a political level better than EU4 because your interests as a dude can be diametrically opposed to the interests of your nation and still be the correct choices for you as a player. That would be me, as it happens.  Edit: Actually, you know what would be a REALLY cool idea? Divine Kings: CK2, but playing as ancient deities/demigods squabbling for control and influence over humanity for your own purposes. Zeus has obviously taken the seduction focus.

EU has the Major Problem that all there is for you to do is go to war until you have grown so far that you ragequit when a hellwar coincides with ginormous rebellions on three different continents. Just creating a situation where it is not in the player character's interest to have a war because that means that the army confiscates all his horses and then he can't get in his harvest and pay his gambling debts or whatever would be progress. Rn it's just go to war, run on max speed until AE is down / manpower is back up, repeat. Lemme every now and then get a king who prefers to pick out chandeliers at his palace or whatever to conquesting, and make that fun. Idk, replace the in-game menu with a lil animated capital that I put some captured battle flags and guns inside of, dynamic architecture style reacting to when I capture a province with lots of marble or whatever, procedurally generated coats of arms and paintings. When I wanna do something with the military I click on the barracks etc. Just lemme roleplay Potemkin beyond click button, development go up.

Paradox has done well in historical and sci-fi grand strategy games, now they should do a fantasy grand strategy in the vein of ck2. "The gods compelled your wife to bed a bull, and now she is pregnant with a half-man half-bull monster! What shall we do with the child?" "Build a great labyrinth to house the beast after it is born, and toss it food and virginal maidens" (unlocks minotaur warriors in 5 years, chance of feral minotaur rebellion) "Disown him, but raise him like any other child" "This is a divine miracle! This child brought into being by the will of the gods shall be my heir!"

Nah it will actually be about researching new ways of taxation, starting from tariffs to income and all the way down into wealth taxes. And then you have to fight to keep the libertarian party/coalition from dismantling your tax reforms.

RabidWeasel posted:Crusader Kings of Dragon Pass would be an absolute blast. If Paradox are going to do another non-historical game I hope it's something along these lines. Dynastic shenanigans with mythological/supernatural creatures and the resulting half-whatevers is a real cool idea. A lusty king has a roll in the hay with a scullery maid... and it turns out its really a kikimora, and shes pregnant. Hope you like high stewardship kids who are compelled to wear butler/maid outfits! Or the rose bush your king hosed when he was a lunatic due to a curse has given birth to a beautiful rose prince, come to claim his birthright. Your genius queen has taken up weaving, and she gets so good a god challenges them to a contest. Unfortunately she gets turned into a giant spider afterwards due to weaving something offensive to the god. Luckily your husband has the 'bestiality' and 'loves horror' traits, so everything dosent immediately go to poo poo, and you pop out a bunch of half-human, half-spider kids

Forgot that they were announcing a new game. Don't really know what I'd be most excited for, but I think a classical + late antiquity deal would be most interesting to me. And here I was seriously considering starting up a mega-LP where I start out as Epirus in EU:Rome using Wiz's RotA mod...
