If Paradox says Korea rightfully belongs to Japan, who are we to argue? Ya'll probably learned most of your geography and history staring at their video games anyways.

So is there a thread for this PS4 version of Stellaris? Anyone heard much about it? I haven't had a gaming PC in years and finally have a chance to get in on the fun.

I've seen a bit of the Xbox version and it seems like they've put a fair bit of effort into creating a UI that works for it. It has a few things that aren't quite great but they work well enough to not be a big issue. Its running 1.7? though, so if you like old Stellaris go wild. But its not for people with a PC, which should be obvious but needs to be said.

Wait, the console version is running on an outdated version? The Megacorp expansion/free patch isn't included? What the gently caress. C'mon.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Wait, the console version is running on an outdated version? The Megacorp expansion/free patch isn't included? From what I understand, the cert process by Sony is stupidly long, and it was either "go live with 1.7 for the console version and bring it up-to-date later" or "push back the Stellaris console release." So I mean it's partially justified, I guess, but they could have just... pushed back the release. It's not like anyone was chomping at the bit for the console release to come, and I think it came as a surprise to most people.

Realistically, it's "go live now with an outdated version" and "go live later with a version that is now outdated".

I think I'm just about ready to get another EU4 expansion and sink another couple hours into it. I have Cradle of Civ, Rights of Man, Cossacks, Common Sense and Art of War. I am not very good at this game and like bouncing around the med and Baltic and hate blobbing and anything that requires me to pay attention to stuff going on on the other side of the globe from where I started out. I should just get Mare Nostrum, right? Or will getting one of the Americas ones let me do something fun around the Caribbean? The government stuff in Dharma looks fun as described but it has disastrous reviews for some reason.

Almost always Paradox DLCs that get negative reviews do so because people are mad at changes resulting from the concurrent patch or mad at Paradox's pricing scheme. In this case Dharma was released with changes to the territory system where you could no longer convert non state provinces and faced increasing Corruption for being big. Dharma by itself is fine if you want to play in that region of the world, which you should definitely try if you're tired of Europe. e: Looking at the reviews people were also upset with the Trade Company mechanics, which were a bit busted at the time of launch. I can't remember how Paradox fixed this stuff because I've played little EU4 lately.

Tributaries were a giant problem too at the time. It was okay for europe itself, and it was okay for the places that SHOULD be tributaries, but it was a giant mess for Indian and even africa.

Really feeling the bern rn  Island-hopping around SE Asia could also work for me so Dharma seems like a candidate then.

There’s enough morons I know who genuinely believe “i play paradox games therefore i know history and am an expert on inheritance law in 9th century france and also the military of16th century milan and also on the feasibility of Sea Lion” that I’d believe this is real

Groogy posted:And then there's next patch and we need to restart again... and when that's done there's the next patch... That’s a solid argument in general, but in this specific case the pre and post Megacorp gameplay loops are very different, and it seems like a bad idea to get a whole group of new player trained on the former if the plan is to completely change it in the next update. It seems unlikely to me that we’re going to see that radical a change again any time soon. But if it couldn’t be worked it couldn’t be worked, so.

Let me move some of that vast African wealth back to Asia without needing me to conquer Holland or something like that.

Yeah the fact that all trade is inexorably hardcoded to flow towards Europe can be pretty infuriating if I'm trying to play, like, a colonizing China who's the center of the world and keeps popping institutions while Europe is a nowhere backwater. I know it's Europa Universalis etc. etc. etc. but it's still annoying.

Europe is the center of the world, full state communism is the best economic system and Stalin was right. These are all historical lessons we can learn from Paradox games.

Being forced to trade through Europe was one of the reasons that colonies revolted to go independent. Seems like a hamhanded way of half-implementing a historical system.HerraS posted:Europe is the center of the world, full state communism is the best economic system and Stalin was right.

Is trade the only major system left in EU4 that hasn't been overhauled since 1.0? Iirc it was one of the most prominent changes from EU3 and I still think it's a very good design overall, but the lack of dynamism kind of sucks. If you're in the wrong trade node you just can't make money, which isn't necessarily ahistorical but also isn't fun.

Major parts of the trade system been redone before, the nodes implementation though have not if that is specifically what you are looking for

They got rid of supply and demand pricing system for goods, back in the old days you could have some wares worth way more than gold, because randomness of the produced goods in Americas decided there are only 3 provinces on the planet making it and every province in Europe wants it.

Dynamic trade flow would be one of my biggest wishes but it seems there's just no way to implement it in EU4? Playing as Milan it's kinda weird that I control two end nodes but can't make one flow into the other. Then of course you're hosed playing in Asia unless you go get control of the cape. If you colonize the Americas as an Asian nation you're a bit hosed too.
