I want the ability to play unlanded characters like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so I can start out as an itinerant sell-sword who sleeps under hedges who founds a bloodline that winds up with my descendants as Emperors of the Aztec-Byzantine Megaempire.

Electronico6 posted:Going with Steamcharts nothing really changed. Crusader Kings 2 is still the lesser Paradox title, with HoI4 and EU4 having almost or more than twice the playerbase. Stellaris is currently the most popular due to new DLC and big patch, and I think it's their best selling title, but it always had trouble keeping people's attention outside of those dlc cycles, EU4 and HoI4 have better and more consistent averages and peaks overall. Maybe that will change with 2.2. and Stellaris will finally be a game fun to play beyond the first hour of any campaign. Per those charts CK2 has had a much higher all-time peak, so I'm not sure the current steam chart results accurately reflects actual sales. That being said, digging into those numbers - CK2's most used month was April of 2018? That feels wrong, for sure. Same with the random bounces up and down it experiences around 20k. This is just mindless speculation, though, since Paradox won't release the sales numbers, for probably good reason.

The reason they're working on Victoria 3 next is because my heart can only take so much waiting.

It doesn't have to be about Europe for me, India would be extremely awesome, but going deep in one region and throwing in lots of cultural mechanics for that until you've basically bolted a map-painting minigame to KoDP seems a lot cooler than trying to mash mechanics for half the planet into the same game.

In April of 2018 CK2 was made free to play for a couple of days, which is why it has that peak. The latest bounce is due to a big patch and Holy Fury being received well.(which seems like a rare thing for a paradox dlc to do these days) Also Steamcharts just takes it's numbers directly from Steam by looking at what playing are playing and time played, not sold units. It doesn't count offline players, and yes without paradox releasing the numbers we can't really be for sure, but these stuff is being tracked for years and is largely consistent, so I doubt Paradox numbers are going to look much different than this.

 I wonder if he went through the classic ck2 mixup where they have X amount of manpower but then it turned out Carthage had enough cash to rustle up a 20k troops out of nowhere.

In Stellaris the AI will declare war on me with claims to a system, but then not actually attack anything. They just sit there and let the war exhaustion increase and refuse to make peace. My fleet is equivalent to theirs according to the dip screen. I assume they will make peace when war exhaustion maxes out but it's pretty weird.

There's a game on Steam called Aggressors: Ancient Rome which is a mix of EU and Civ. Might be interesting for people in this thread, the AI actually knows how to do naval invasions and really surprised me with one.

I got owned by an ally of an enemy doing a naval invasion, cutting of my supply line. It's not as indepth as a Paradox title but it's good fun and cheapish. Complexity is more on a Civ level really. I posted about it because I think people here might like it.

There's a define somewhere that says not to conduct offensive operations with less than a 20% advantage in overall fleet strength. I see the same behavior if I crash build a bunch of ships when war breaks out.

They'll declare war, then do absolutely nothing as they can't find a way into your territory without getting shredded by the forts. This is extremely annoying since a status quo/white peace forces open borders with them.
