That and he did a DLC or two in EU4 that were also really well received and well done.

WELL THAT JUST HAPPENED!


It's a shame that that LP would be impossible to put in the LP archive without having someone write a narrative of the voting sessions (otherwise you miss the story of how that emote happened).

The other thing I remember Wiz doing was making parody mods for EU3, like one that gave whatever country you picked absurd modifiers and cores "to reflect [insert country tag]'s proud national spirit and what almost came to pass!"...unless it was an African nation since according to EU3 no one lived in Africa in the 1400s.

Anyway, why were goons saying that Wiz was racist?

Was Wiz who made the mod where every province below Hungary was merged into one single wasteland province called "Balkans"?

Which games has Wiz worked on?

He basically saved Stellaris after it launched as a bit of a mess mechanically. He was the one who decided to consolidate all travel to hyperlanes, change all the ethics mechanics to be more sensible, re-worked fleets, etc.

Stellaris would probably be a dead game without that 2.0 patch.

Iirc he also did some work on CK2 prior to being moved to this "secret project". He also is a goon and made an amazing LP with lots of mods and wrote CK2+ which got most of its ideas integrated into CK2 proper.

He's got a good eye for making engaging/fun designs and I trust him to do Vicky justice.

Like the most concise way I can sum up my feelings on it, it gives you an incredible set of roleplaying tools, while giving you no context or detail on the world you use them in.

ya i feel you. Perhaps in a few years and a dozen dlcs i'll feel different but atm ck2 still feels a lot more fun (and remotely interested in its historical setting) to me

not to mention wiz was heavily involved in the transition from eu3 to eu4

basically there's a point for each paradox franchise other than HoI where the quality markedly improved, and wiz was usually on the team when it happened

Looks like they announced the CK3 DLC, Royal Court. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvid3edWqcg

Won't lie this is not the expansion I was hoping for :smith:

e: that said the Hybrid Culture thing is so badly needed:

https://www.cbr.com/crusader-kings-iii-royal-court-expansion/ posted:

Paradox Interactive also teased more information on how Royal Court expands on the game's existing culture systems. Hybrid Cultures let players "make the most of a multicultural realm, developing a new way of life that is specifically adapted to your population and geography," while Cultural Divergence involves splitting from traditional culture and "adapting it into something new that better fits your aspirations."

There's no current release date for the Royal Court expansion but Paradox Interactive has promised that it will arrive alongside a free major update that will also include a new culture interface.

To be fair, it's hard to make a trailer about something that will mostly amount to a new menu tab.
