I did the basic conversion, but there are some tweaks I'd like to do my countries National Ideas (it gave me Crusader Jerusalem, and if you've been reading my posts in the CK2 thread you'd know why that might not be appropriate). I haven't a clue about national ideas, but the conversions usually land in My Documents\Crusader Kings II\eu4_export

I've been playing Railway Empire, and now I demand that Vicky 3 let us research, design, and manufacture locomotives with a Man the Guns style system.

Turns out it's on sale for 30 more minutes so that probably explains why we're talking about it here but FYI.

zedprime posted:Not as crunchy economically but it tries. Looks really good and route laying is pretty ok. It was released as balanced for ghost trains with solid trains requiring signalling being a bonus difficulty for the player so buying a company was a total non starter unless you wanted to liquidate the whole thing. But now it's balanced for solids trains and the AI knows how to lay signalled track. Not well, but you can theoretically buy them and run their lines. You can always play with ghost trains too. I don't know how it was a launch, but it's a really solid experience right now. Track building is very complex and you can do all sorts of stuff with switches. I never played Railroad Tycoon, so I can't compare it. Also, you can buy out the AI and just let them continue to operate and feed you their excess profits instead of expanding, which can be a good option on some maps. My favorite part is having all the historical steam engines. There are several dozen different kinds and you unlock them over time, or buy them at auction.

V for Vegas posted:I'm guessing CK3. If it is, I'm kinda dreading it. With all the backlash of Imperator feeling empty and lacking content, imagine the expectations for a CK3. Unless it has all the existing content, + more, the fans will probably take a dump on it. Victoria III is one of the few things they could make and "start fresh" without any major controversy. I really don't envy the situation Paradox has found itself in with player expectations of content due to games having been developed and supported for 5+ years being compared to new ones fresh out of the gate.

I mean at least the current events for ck2 are a good base to build upon for ck3 so it would be stupid to throw them out. As well besides like the new chargen from Imperator I'm not sure what a ck3 would need entirely, beyond just more events on top of the current. Like as a CK fan I wouldn't buy a new CK3 until it was as dense as CK2.

All the stuff we know and love about CK2 was added over a period of several years. At this point, they pretty much can't release ck3 unless all the currently playable nation-types are playable. They can't just start with Catholics in ck3 and spend another 5 years adding in features and charging people for them.

Well I just completely lost interest apart from the edge possibility it's a cold war game. No way could CK3 vanilla somehow be better than current CK2, and the only new IPs I'm really interested in would be Cold War or Bronze Age themed. I'm sure a fantasy GSG would have a market and be popular but it's not something I'm at all hype for.

I decided to do some internet snooping, seeing as how games as a medium regularly list the people who worked on them in credits, surely there's like an imdb-type thing out there. turned up this. Moby Games posted:Game Credits (By Role) Beep beep boop, zoom and enhance. quote:Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (2004) Cyberpunk future paradox game confirmed.

Also I'd love if it was classical fantasy and not medieval since I just bounced hard off of Imperator and I still want to enjoy some swords and sandals.

Crazycryodude posted:Well I just completely lost interest apart from the edge possibility it's a cold war game That's what I'm hoping for. I've been wondering for a while what the best "playable unit" would be to represent that era (head of dynasty in CK, nation state in EU). I'm thinking either a nation's intelligence or military-industrial apparatus. As a military- industrial apparatus your goal would be carefully nudging up world tension through proxy wars and the unveiling of new doomsday weapons in order to gain increasing sway over your host country's policy and budget, but without pushing things so far that you actually have to use all those earth shattering toys you've built. Playing as an intelligence apparatus would be similar but there would be more of a focus on actions you can take that are not actually fighting.

Probably the spirit of an ideology, I:E capitalist vs communist. That way, you could have nations fall and deal with revolutions, betrayals, etc and keep playing. Kind of like how the game doesn't end if you lose the throne in CK2, a cold war game could have you keep playing even if Russia collapses, for example. You play the spirit of communism and keep going until you cant, or vice versa. You might sacrifice North Korea if it means gaining West Germany, stuff like that.

lmao it's not going to be a post-ww2/cold war game in paradox's diplomatic mindset revolves entirely around an arbitary relationship number and day by day impulse dice rolls on actions also when their definition of GSG is blobbing across the map, anyway. it'll be ck3. no way they did something to directly compete with imperator like a fantasy game or even vicky

Also I'd love if it was classical fantasy and not medieval since I just bounced hard off of Imperator and I still want to enjoy some swords and sandals. Yeah, my hope is you have a bunch of options, then it generates a world based on those (the random world in CK2 would be a good starting point, but add more to it), so that you have at least a bit of history and some interesting, unequal starts. In my dream, the options would allow you to go from grimy low fantasy where a demon will wreck poo poo to absurd high fantasy where there are demons rampaging all around and your nation's hero/ine can take on entire armies by themselves. I'd also love a Bronze Age game. Dramicus posted:I think it's ironic that TNO will likely come closer to simulating a cold war game than paradox ever has.

Betting/hoping the new game will be a fantasy-themed game. 1) They explicitly said it's not Vicky 3 2) Every other property isn't yet abandoned 3) Endless Legend and Total War: Warhammer prove this market segment is real and Paradox hasn't given it a proper grand strategy go yet

catlord posted:TNO? The New Order. It's a mod for HoI4 that focuses on post-ww2 where Germany won and is in a 3-way cold war with the Free West under the USA, and Japan's Asian bloc. The mod treats direct war between the major powers as a game-over state. Most combat is supposed to be done with coups, volunteers and lendlease.
