WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Intimidated by the prospect of having to recapture the spark of Vicky 2 while actually making a game that meets their new standards of stability and coherence? I think it's a combination of that and Vicky 2 not actually being as popular as the people who like it (like me) like to think it is. Victoria fans are very VOCAL, but I don't think the game itself actually made sales anywhere near titles like EU or HoI. When something is really beloved by a very small group of very hardcore people it puts you in the situation of "nothing we make will actually live up to their expectations, and even if it does nobody else will buy it anyway", so I can kind of understand them being hesitant. If they aren't going to make a proper Victoria 3, I wish they would at least make use of some of the more interesting systems in other titles like the super detailed pops/economy. Those would have fit great in Stellaris.

Yeah I was very excited when I first heard that Stellaris would have things called "pops" and was then immensely disappointed with how it actually turned out. Both the fluff setting and the actual gameplay seem like they would work the best with a more in-depth population system than pretty much any other modern PDX game, but instead they just went with a poorly thought out Civ ripoff that's still holding the game back 2 years later and probably will for at least another 2.

gently caress's sake, I loathe multi-tier "special" editions. You're telling me the next game will have a limited supply? F this you're dead to me. I'm trying really hard not to assume it's vicky and it's really hard. It could still be a new property but drat you cocktease johan.

Well it's good news either way. That hint at least semi-confirms some kind of grand strategy game with at least some focus on production and consumption. Victoria 3, Bismack 1, Industrial Revolution 101 the game, whatever the name, I want it!

EU Rome also had resource production and trading, didn't it? It wasn't as granular as Vicky, but it was there.

What Paradox GSG doesn't have trade and production? Even CK2 has the Silk Road.

Ofaloaf posted:What Paradox GSG doesn't have trade and production? Even CK2 has the Silk Road. I think that doesn't technically involve production and goods, though; there's just money which is generated by the state of china and goes down the road. In EU and Vicky you generate specific poo poo to trade, but in Vicky the type of goods matters more, since the value of things in EUIV is fixed barring certain events.

I'm the one who wanted that Wouldn't that basically just be an EU4 with lower (or higher I guess since it starts at 3000 BC or something) year numbers and different factions? I can't imagine a Bronze Age game playing significantly differently. I'll happily be proven wrong though

It's a game set in Bronze Age antiquity where you have to manage your pops and produce goods (grain, pottery, olive oil). Caesar III / Pharaoh remake confirmed.
