Magissima posted:I think Paradox has made a fuss about hosting mods on GitHub in the past because they wanted mods to only be available on their forums or steam, presumably because both are inaccessible to pirates. I can sympathize, and I do enjoy seeing people who have obviously pirated the game asking for mod download links, but imo the benefit of having mods be open source and easily editable way outweighs that. Presumably they don't care about Darkest Hour mods at this point, but I don't know if if they'd allow it for HOI4. I still haven't gotten my Paradox forums account to work. But are there even any mods that are not on the Steam workshop?

There's a size limit for the steam workshop which some of the total conversions don't fit, but also... I think some chunks of the preexisting modern culture just never moved over to steam workshop. Victoria 2 also doesn't have a workshop I'm pretty sure (and some of those mods probably no longer have modders paying any attention even though they still work since victoria 2 isn't getting updated anymore, so even if there was a workshop there'd be important stuff just not getting uploaded to it.)

Didn't a bunch of them have to recently update their mods to work after Wiz made a final update for Victoria 2 like a year ago in his spare time?

Hmm, that's good to know. Yet I haven't seen any mod that was not on steam that I really wanted. But I tried like five times to get my Paradox account activated, without success, I'm not going to try a sixth time.

It was two years ago, not so much recently anymore. I think some of them just got compatibility corrections by randos in their threads as well.

The fan made converters (and probably most other tools) are only there as a placeholder to a download link, because the workshop strips out the executable from the converters.

I don’t think Imperator is gonna be a day-one buy for me. Paradox has not been on a super hot streak recently - HoI4 didn’t wow me and Stellaris was half-baked at release (though post-launch development has been mostly excellent). Imperator looks solid but the info so far hasn’t built much hype. It feels like maybe a Sengoku or March of the Eagles type thing to test concepts for another game that they are more excited about. Would love to be pleasantly surprised though.

It doesn't look all that fun or engaging right now because every dev diary is just "here's a number! you can make it go up or down!" Johan might be a gifted programmer and design lead but he's not very good at selling a product. But maybe with a release date the Dev Diaries will be more interesting? I dunno. I want to like Imperator but I'm struggling to find much of a case for it other than it being "EU4 but with Classical Era paint" edit: looking at today's diary it appears Johan isn't writing them any more, apologies. axeil fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Feb 5, 2019 |

I don't understand why the unexpected popularity of CK2 didn't make them make that in ancient times instead of another EU.

EU4 and CK2 are both fantastic but I haven't been crazy about any games they released since then. Stellaris had cool mechanics but a brain dead AI ruined it imo. I never bought HOI4 but heard it was similar. I'll probably hold off on imperator until it gets to the $10 range unless it gets rave reviews.

Yeah watch a stream or something before deciding whether to purchase. I was not terribly excited with all the dev diaries, but watching it in action it looks really smooth and full of QoL features. It all looks way better in action than described.

I haven't followed any of the development and I was looking forward to it just because it's CK2 in an era I like even more. And with how important key figures were in that era, you would think the rpg stuff from CK2 would carry over. I'd be very disappointed if it's more EU thank CK.

It's eu:rome 2, with exactly as much character involvement as eu:rome had in the first place, which is considerable but absolutely not a dynasty simulator like CK is.

It really couldn’t be CK2, feudalism is a huge part of it and that makes no sense for how that timeframe works.

The thing that's turning me off of Imperator the most is the province count. I want to play as Rome, but I absolutely do not want to try and manage a hundred provinces to set up trade routes and governors and fiddly stuff. If there's a decent automation layer for that, I'll probably check it out, but I really do not like the trend towards higher and higher province numbers in recent paradox games
