I like how it talks about cunning and then shows the dude charging a castle on horse. Clearly not the genius you want to start your eugenics experi...CK playthrough with.

September 1st was way sooner than I expected, definitely pre-ordering this!

*Thinking back on Imperator launch, Stellaris launch, HOIV launch* I'm going to preorder CK3.

I was tempted by the "royal edition" or what ever when I saw it came with an expansion pass for the first 3 expansions - but reading further that actually means 2 "flavour" dlcs and one actual expansion which feels a little bit misleading. No idea what flavour dlc will mean for this game, probably new sets of clothes and coats of arms or something. Not really something that should be bundled together with actual expansion content in their promotion email. Glad the release date is so soon though, looking forward to playing it for a few weeks before cyberpunk comes out

Going by how they handle their previous expansions (this could still be completely wrong though): A "flavor pack" is probably in the ~$10 price range and will add things like events, graphics, music, etc but no major gameplay changes. Lithoids had the most changes, and it was just a few traits. The "expansion" will probably be in the $20-25 range and offer new mechanics and systems that change/hopefully improve gameplay. Who knows if they will stick to this for ck3 though.

I am still on the fence about pre-ordering but at the least this game is focusing on what I found lacking in Imperator, so odds are it will be better? Though waiting to see some lets plays and such is the smarter move by far.

So the expansion pass saves you quite a bit if you think you’re likely to buy the DLCs anyway. And you get some bonus hats out of it, too.

Yeah, I'm sure you save money buying the royal version for an extra €25 vs buying them separately at full price, but the email says it comes with the first 3 expansions and I think it's a bit misleading to call flavour packs that. At least, based on the sort of portrait pack type things they released for CK2

At least, based on the sort of portrait pack type things they released for CK2 I generally agree with the sentiment, but then again I wonder if my concept of an expansion is locked in the 90s. Technically anything that expands on the content of the game is an expansion. I do know Paradox got a little burned with Hoi4's expansion pass, where people disagreed on what was considered appropriate for inclusion in the pass.

At least, based on the sort of portrait pack type things they released for CK2 It reads like they will have have new asset stuff but also events and other content for whatever they are themed around. So maybe like Stellaris, where the “flavor packs” are probably my favorite DLCs.

I mean Launch periods are the only time anyone on a medicore computer can actually finish a paradox game before feature bloat takes over and fastest is equivalent to releases normal.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I honestly do not like the new aesthetic of the game/map at all, from what i have seen. I feel like PDX UI design has somehow gotten worse; Imperator is still awful in that regard (from what i have heard/seen). Man this is insane to me. I mean I know we haven't played yet but to me it looks like the best UI for a paradox game so far by a long way. Everything looks really clear and nicely spaced out, with a big emphasis on "if you do this, this will happen" type info. It looks a million times better than Imperator.

The preorder for HOI4 ended up netting me Man the Guns for free which was a steal.

Yeah I also think the UI looks really nice. Not much clutter, really clean, lots of nicely descriptive tooltips all over the place, even in other (and other-other) tooltips! I also really like the font for some reason.

I didn't even regret Imperator. Certainly not my favourite game, but I got my money's worth out of it. Modern Paradox games are at worst, decent skinner boxes. Never been much of a fan of make numbers go up loot driven RPGs, but make that grand strategy? That'll keep me going for at least twenty hours.

Rome is on sale until the 18th on Steam. Is it worth trying? (I've enjoyed EU4, CK2 and Stellaris.)

As far as I understand a flavor pack would be on the level of legacy of rome or so, not just graphical stuff. YMMV whether that's worth it or not.

Moving to 3D for characters is the right move as it’s the only practical way to do something with the scale and scope of Crusader Kings (after nearly a decade of updates to CK2, they only recently got rid of the atrocious default faces, but there are still significant quality and style disparities between graphical culture groups). That said the 3D models in CK3 just don’t look that good. Given it’s the single most important graphical feature in the game it’s a bit perplexing paradox have settled at the level of above average poser models.

You guys should try Age of Civilizations II! It's just a mobile game but what an original take on the strategy genre!

It looks like the main thing the game stole from EU is the map, with gameplay a generic 4X type. I guess maps are hard to copyright.
