Hungary gets the fun opportunity to have an explicitly fascist monarchy run by a guy who joined the SS in our timeline.

quote:Phalanx - Slower movement for armies, while heavy infantry defence is much stronger. Hmm is movement speed also an in-combat thing or is this what it looks like and their movement speed is reduced out of combat? Because I think it's pretty funny to imagine legions of Greeks marching in tight battle formations everywhere they go. "The enemy could attack at any time, boys, now form up! We've got two miles to go until we reach Athens, so we should be there by Thursday!"

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I think it makes sense because it allows for rapid movement, but more vulnerable, or slower movement but less vulnerable. It adds something tangible to the fact that an army that is marching is not ready for combat and an army that is ready for combat is not ready to march; an army that wants to march *and* be ready to fight will march slower. There's also the question of how the toggle actually works. If it takes a month to switch into phalanx mode, or if switching comes with a morale drop that then slowly ticks up (like disembarking in EU4), and if that weak inbetween state lasts long enough for enemy cavalry to cross several provinces and attack you, it would be a more meaningful choice because you'd have to commit to waging a much slower war before entering enemy territory, and the risk of switching between the two modes whilst in enemy territory would be greater.

I really dig EU4 and Stellaris, I've tried to mess around with CK2 a few times but have a hard time getting into it Is there a good summary or writeup you've seen of how to ... enjoy CK2? Being not very familiar with it, it strikes me as a sort of character driven Paradox game where you regularly have to deal with losing territory to succession, your kings getting sick and having their faces cut off, all that kind of stuff. It would be interesting to play an intrigue, plotting, and scheming driven game like CK2, but I'm never quite sure what you're supposed to care about. Are you trying to get lots of land, or are you trying to build up cool heirs and a juicy court, or are you trying to do both? It would be super cool if there's a good writeup/video or guide to read what aspects people find enjoyable or rewarding.

Ham Sandwiches posted:what aspects people find enjoyable or rewarding. Pillaging the Med and burning Rome as the Berber pirate queen of Crete. But in all seriousness, being character-driven rather than state-driven means that your goals can range anywhere from creating the greatest empire known to man, to killing all the loving Karlings. It's very freeform, in that way. It's not really a question of 'what should I care about,' rather 'what do I want to care about?'

Yeah that makes sense, and given that, perhaps a way to phrase the question is "what kinds of freeform objectives work with the gameplay and the setting to be viable with the game mechanics rather than at odds with them"

Yeah if you just start conquering like you would in eu4 you'll run into all the fun character mechanics. The system is very active and reactive, sometimes people will just decide to hate you and you have to then deal with that in fun ways. The whole world is divided up into de jure duchies and kingdoms and empires, so they give you a nice guide if you're not sure where to conquer.
