I usually check out of Vicky after the second or third world war. By that time I'm usually so dominant the only fun is to see just how badly I've destroyed my rivals.

My Megacampaign group has restarted our megacampaign, again we're using Crusader Kings II but now we're using the After the End mod, a mod that has CK2 take place in a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland version of North America. Is it alright if I crosspost AARs I post to the CK2 thread here?Gaius Marius posted:I usually check out of Vicky after the second or third world war.

By the way, thanks to everyone who pointed out LPs to me. I've been meaning to piece together the history of megacampaigns for a while, but was particularly motivated. I've gone and recorded a community segment for PDX Con about Converters and Megacampaigns. It's on the schedule and everything.

Every single campaign of V2 I've had turned into a slog after like 1910. That's about the point where I'd want the game railroaded into a singular massive war closer to HoI than the 19th century vicky gameplay. Then after that war it should end.

My games nothing happens the entire period because everyone is busy trying to play Factory-Clicker before the economy collapses. e: Although its been getting better as we've been taking measures; like cutting down on the Human population.

I've talked about how mods are bad recently and now I'm enjoying Star Trek Horizons for Stellaris. Feels much better than the original game not just because of familiar faces but also woth basic things like exploration and expansion speed. Waging war is important even early cause a lot of parts of space havehostiles you won't be able to kill till midgame. In vanilla Stellaris you have very few systems like that and you still can expand a lot. The economy is built on getting access to new resources and UI has problems supporting it. Still it's more fun than eternal juggling of global energy, food, minerals, alloys and consumer goods balance. Districts provide bonuses and no jobs so you actually feel the pressure to expand and find new jobs for your people. There are bugs and unfinished stuff, like missing or wrong strings. Sometimes tooltips go mad and say something like "to upgrade this building you need one of following 30 buildings" and lists each type of lvl 2 planetary capital. And devs definitely thought more is better so even simplest ship designs can hace 10 weapon slots ensuring that I will only touch them to remove components relying on resources I have no access to. It's a bad strategy game but a fine chill experience.

I can't wait for them to announce the game they've spent the last 20 years training and prototyping for. A combination of Crusader kings, hearts of iron, stellaris and vicky. Battletech Grand Strategy. I can't wait to lead House Liao and crash their economy trying to build more mechs than they can afford.

I’d rather Paradox move on from historical contexts if they’re serious about creating interesting and balanced scenarios, not to mention their spotty history with things like genocide and atrocities.

Also NoCB, a podcast almost entirely about Paradox games, frequently with Paradox developers. If she’s excited so am I, though I hope it’s for a fantasy GSG over Vic3.
