It's been so long since I played CKII that I don't even remember where they house the army details, how to raise an army, how to initiate diplomacy, if diplomacy even exists in this game, or how to gently caress my cousin

March of the Eagles has much more in depth naval and land combat for what it's worth. For example it has forts blocking army movements and stuff like that.

Also I got sick and recovered roughly 8 times in two years which was mildly epic, and then I had that kid. So he had a hell of a midlife crisis.

PleasingFungus posted:march of the eagles was made by a different studio, "paradox france", formerly and afterward known as AGEOD. (MotE was enough of a fiasco that Paradox ended up dropping the entire studio and finishing the game in-house.) i was so excited about the ageod clausewitz thing because their engine is dogshit and clausewitz ran real good at the time, but then they left again and paradox dumped their janky in-progress game on us and never looked back. and ageod went back to awful unoptimized games you need 16gb of ram to play. not good for anyone involved really

Stellaris would be a lot better if it was a paid version of Crisis of the Confederation or was based on the Empire breaking apart in Asimov's foundation novels or something. It's like if EU4 only let you pick the random nation option and it's equally boring

It's like if EU4 only let you pick the random nation option and it's equally boring i don't think it has to be based on any particular existing setting, but it needed to have a setting. paradox has a really unique thing, their games set in actual worlds with both powerful empires and one-province nobodies coexisting from the start, and they could've applied that to space and done cool stuff. instead, they made yet another generic 4x. why? why do devs like generic space 4xs so much...

Yeah. It sucks because stellaris is actually really good in MP, but like many space 4x games, it's insanely boring in singleplayer because the AI is brain dead and there isn't even any kind of super weapon the AI can use to win if the player isn't paying attention like some other games

I think HoI is the only game with sufficiently deep combat where more numbers isn't better. Stellaris is funny because it has EU4 naval combat where you just stack a few big ships and crush hundreds of smaller ones effortlesslh

All I did was churn out shitloads of corvettes from my minor factories with nothing but piles of armor on them and then my good docks pumped out battleships with big guns. It allowed my battleship numbers to bloat and I could just go from battle to battle without ever replenishing.

naval combat is the worst part of every paradox game, so if they actually based stellaris's combat off it, that's... very funny.

imagine sieges in CK2 if you had to micromanage moving your siege engines to the front lines and lining up around the castle

If you bend the rules enough it could be considered a map game. It has a map, at least.

I wish there were games with cool naval combat... Most of them suck or they're really detailed but abstracted. I wanna watch sails get destroyed by cannon and have it affect the ship
