I like the new "Does the devs even play the game?" thread. I'm closing in on 10 000 hours total of Paradox game time. My goal during my vacation is to finally break that. But you know, I totally don't play the games.

PittTheElder posted:His other project on the other hand, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, has lots of setup changes going on, and province redrawings to make it look better. I just wish it was further along, because holy poo poo do I want to play it. I might see if I can lend a hand too, he sounds down with the more historically grounded approach I'm after. That looks actually really awesome, I love a proper size on Bohemia in comparison to neighbors <3 Fav Nation Does he add new provinces or just change existing ones?

Just going to shamelessly advertise my Megacampaign LP here, just finished converting to EU4 and first chapter out for EU4. If you wanna see a dev high on Norse romanticism and then lose to rebels this is for you. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3642949

Yeah I've been taking loans from both Portugal and Venice with like 2% interest to fuel my growth faster and to avoid increasing inflation as well. Also if you guys been missing out on it I highly recommend you watch it, great fun and you get a better "face" on the developers. We are stupid gamers like the rest and love to play the game ourselves. You also have the added bonus that you get to see all the new features.

There's bunch of events tied to each policy that gives different permanent modifiers on the province. The best one is Trading policy if I remember correctly. In the Office MP stream I got +1 goods produced on a gold mine in central america thanks to it.

You can also have several mapmodes in one slot by right clicking a already filled slot. You then cycle through the mapmodes by clicking it again when it is already selected. For instance I have both coalition and diplomacy on the same slot.

It depends on various things, for instance when I debased currency in the Office MP it was actually almost as cheap for me because of the modifiers on the corruption gain. So I took that over getting inflation + pay monthly interest.

As long you have 10% development embrace the institution you can embrace it as a whole nation for a fee in ducats depending on how much development hasn't adopted it. If you want it literally for free then you have to wait for your entire nation to naturally embrace it. E: fixed dumb autocorrect stuff.

I would say Aristocracy has some synergy with specific nations though. Like you are playing Vietnam and go Aristocracy + Defensive and just make fighting a war in your territory pure hell. e: Think it tops at 120% defensiveness and +3 attrition for enemies together with policies if I remember my spreadsheet correctly e2: 120% defensiveness as base means that a phase takes about two months(or more depending on other modifiers) and thus a fort can take several years to break down.

Also forgetting that max morale increase how much morale damage you do. Discipline also affects how much morale or normal damage you do at all. You then have maneuvering and positions. Spread of damage from cavalry, spread of morale damage from artillery....

A lot of things happening at once kind of. We raised prices in certain regions, we released DLC and somehow a review got flagged(which we currently looking into because we generally don't moderate reviews unless they strictly break the steam community rules) Feels like this time it is a lot of generic anger being vented and feeding upon itself making it even worse and people are looking for everything they can to latch on their anger to to keep the ball rolling.

Yeah from time to time but not that often really. Have a good story of a March of the Eagles cd that got sent back to us with a skull carved into the cd because the copy he had bought was Steam only (and it was clearly visible on the box) and back then we still had non-steam copies as well.

I think I've gotten more death threats over banning people than actually anything relating to the games in itself. Most of them goes something in style with "muh freedums, i marine veteran, friend got u ip, i keel u" By now I guess I have half of Navy Seals chasing me down.

They colonize themselves after a while, they get free colonists in their idea set and they will mainly colonize within their region. But you can also colonize yourself on any province bordering them.

Crazy Joe Wilson posted:So I bought this game a long time ago, like during November, tried it out, didn't like it, and decided again to try it again. Are there any guides for this thing? Because I am hopelessly lost. You also got monthly income in EU3 just that your yearly income was a larger clump sum? For EU4 you can see the income in the tab for economy, you see your income sources to the left while your expenses are to the right in the screen. Also for the manpower thing, just sounds like the AI is recruiting mercenaries. Also are you really wiping them or just hitting them back? Because sounds weird to be able to stack wipe 10k armies at 1444 already without the numbers or the modifiers for it.

Eej posted:The first thing Johann put in when he took over was Mare Nostrum so yes, it was the beginning of a decline. just to clarify some misunderstandings here that several people seemed to talk about none being really correct.(sorry that I quoted just specifically you) First and most important, it''s Johan, not Johann. Secondly he has always been in charge of EU4 Development but as the creative lead(what we call game director) who holds the vision of what the game should be, i.e lead ideas guy. Wiz was Project Lead when he worked on EU4, he then moved to be Stellaris Game Director. Though back then we didn't have dedicated game designers so Wiz was also doing sort of the job that DDRJake does today back then. Groogy fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Jun 25, 2017 |

How involved do you think external investors actually are? Investors having "a few words with us" makes literally no sense. The people who own enough to matter are the very people that would make the decision they would "have a few words about". I mean sure Fred is a bit eccentric but I wouldn't call him schizophrenic...

Then I don't understand the "Paradox is ebil they only look for profit for investors". Of course things changed, but we had share holders before we became publicly traded and we liked profit back then as well.

Alright guys I didn't mean to start a war over American law. My point was that we are under Swedish law and the relationship ia not necessarily the same with share holders. And on the mandate of heaven, I honestly haven't played in the area lately but I am planning a Sikh ironman game so who knows what I'll face. Playing as Russia Ming just became a nice "end boss"
