It wasn't a period of huge technological advancements, was it? I guess they had impressive aqueducts and stuff.

It's quite a neat system; you have techs which aren't really individual major innovations but just some representation of gradual change in society and military tactics over the years, which are totally generic, and then the inventions which are larger, more unique and randomised so theoretically every playthrough will be different.

I mean fundamental mathematical principles were discovered, alongside radical ideas like "knowing what medical symptoms someone has gives a guide to how they'll do in future without the need for entrails".

It's Post-LeGuin patch Stellaris, on land!!! In all seriousness, although I see no real issues with this tech mechanic, the thought of someone going "Eureka! I've invented a new way to make speeches EVEN MORE CONVINCING" makes me chuckle.

all EU4 DLCs except the most recent one are 75% off now: https://www.paradoxplaza.com/europa-universalis-all/ It's been forever since they've been this low (I think I haven't seen lower than 50% in more than a year, even) so if anyone's been holding out for a price drop, now is the time.

Dharma is out 6 September so we'll get that narrow window to play EU4 between the release of the latest update and the announcement of more updates.

They made a lot of technological improvements but they didn't really do "science" the way we think of it. It was all engineering - they'd take some existing invention and tweak it to make it better, or combine two known principles into a new thing to solve a particular problem. They never did theory and experimentation to discover new fundamental principles and try to find ways to apply them after the fact.

I remember someone made a tech tree extension mod for darkest hour that went all the way to the mid 2000s. There was a tech in the computer tree that would end the game when researched cause itd fire an event where the in-game people made hoi2.

I am still not over the fact that they picked Rome instead of Victoria as next release. Doesn't help that Dharma looks so drat mediocre and comes with anti fun changes. Maybe stop EU4 DLCs and put those people on Vicky 3.

The next CK2 DLC is the last one so they might very well end up doing that with the CK2 DLC team (after post-release patches get done anyway).

It makes me a bit miffed that CoC came out before the missions rework because the missions for most of the ME are pretty limited in scope, I'm hoping that they do some "enhanced missions for CoC owners" at some point, like they are doing for Novgorod with this patch.

They will keep releasing DLC for EUIV until the heat death of the universe. By the year 3000, buying the entire catalogue will cost 500 trillion galactic credits

Tag switching and more so the territory nerf are just dumb. The best part about the patch is that they finally changed Ming to only affect countries it actually has a border with.

So if CK2’s dev cycle (theoretically) ends a year from now with Expansion 15, where do they shift their focus? It still feels too early for CK3, and they’re almost certainly already working on V3 as one of their couple of unannounced projects. A new series? Fill in some of the historical gaps in their portfolio (Cold War/modern? Near-future? Something a little less “grand” strategy focusing on specific regions a la Romance of the Three Kingdoms?) March of the Eagles 2? :o

Bronze Age Mesopotamian city-states game or maybe Egypt would be really cool. Or MotE II, that'd be nice. I'd ask for a Cold War game but I'm not really sure how well the cloak and dagger bullshit and insurgencies that really characterize the era would work with the traditional map game format.

CK2's being run by a skeleton crew right now I think. They'll just put those people on other teams.

Communist Walrus posted:Victoria 2 but all the lovely parts taken out That's pretty much all of it though. I mean i'd play a vicky 3 that was a good game but people who like vicky 2 aren't looking for good games, just more dumb black boxes. Now i'm going to be regaled about how black boxes are actually great game design.
