On the other other hand, I will point to this out of context clip where Chris King says "Marxism is Great"

From RPS (https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/06/01/paradox-have-opened-a-new-studio-focused-on-grand-strategy-games/)

quote:

"I am excited and grateful for this opportunity to build up a new studio in a new location, putting the knowledge accumulated through the decades of building games and development studios into good use,” studio manager Andersson said in today’s announcement. “My goal is to assemble a team and create a fully functional studio to keep on developing the Europa Universalis brand, and later design and develop new grand strategy games."

Imperator's problem is that it can't be a proper EU:R successor because there isn't a Crete 2.

People play our games in China for sure, but the only way we'd ever not get officially banned by the Chinese Government would probably be to remove politics from our games altogether so that's not happening pretty much ever.

imagining a Chinese Edition of Victoria 1/2 that starts with a civilized Qing which instantly breaks the world economy from the very first tick

To go back more to talking about cultural context, something I find interesting is that Cao Cao is very much traditionally seen as the villain, see every Dynasty Warriors ever, but when I read Ro3K and especially watched the tv show, I can't see him as anything but the hero and the perfidious Liu Bei as a lying conman.

Despite ROTK being an extremely Pro-Shu work, the original interpretation of history was pretty Pro-Wei. Because the Jin Dynasty was built on top of the Wei Dynasty, they naturally wanted people to think that the Wei Dynasty was legitimate.

In more modern times though, I often look at things this way:

Wikipedia posted:

After the Communists won the Chinese Civil War in 1949, some people in China thought there might be some similarities between Cao Cao and Mao Zedong. In 1959, Peng Dehuai wrote a letter to Mao, in which he compared himself to Zhang Fei: because Mao Zedong compares himself to Cao Cao, Peng's comparison implied that he had an intuitively confrontational relationship with Mao. Mao had the letter widely circulated in order to make Peng's attitude clear to other Party members, and proceeded to purge Peng, eventually ending Peng's career.

I:R ended up having some interesting empire-building systems in there, with pop management and such, but the short timeframe and setting meant it was a game where blobbing was mandatory. Slowly consolidating your empire and growing it over time was not an option; trying to go that route would either lead to you being conquered by Rome (who was the best at blobbing) or hitting the end of the game before very much happened at all.

e: Anyway it was doomed because wiz was too busy working on Vicky 3 to do a giant lets play of it

PDX games updating on a slower schedule is fine with me. I know my dumb rear end is going to still boot up CK3 or V3 every once in a whole in 2023. At this pace theres less of a chance that they’ll play like current-day EU4 by then

I’m confident enough that they’ll add that kind of content to CK3 eventually, so long as they dont Imperator it I’m not really in a rush. Maybe that’s just naive faith, but whatever. I’ve got enough games to play so I dont really care if 2024 or 2025 is the year CK gets enough content to really stand out.

Actually speaking of content, I havent played too much of it but I did enjoy playing the elder kings mod for ck3. Its obviously pretty WIP, but I feel like its WIP-ness works kinda decently in CK3’s engine where you can let religion traits do a lot of heavy lifting. I didnt play much ck2 elder kings though so I cant compare directly

Terra Invicta is a very clunky game but it's also interesting in a way that 99% of games aren't so it balances out.
