Good to know I shouldn't buy HoI4 then. :shepicide:

EDIT: Actually, I shouldn't. Not even joking. I hate the military aspect of all Paradox games. I can't even stand March of the Eagles, why would I try to play another pdox game centered around warfare?

Because greater Serbia needs you

When I play as Germany in HOI I just disband every military division and allow glorious communism to be brought to Berlin. My conscience and education will only allow me to play video games through the lens of the proletariat.

I understand the bloat concerns as I've played ck2 since realize but gave it up after the expansion that added that ability to romance every character in the game..... And I can see eu4 sliding into that direction

I'm sure all soldier models can be made to look less thin, donkey sprites touched up to be more horse like, and Soviet counters added all for the low low price of $3.99 at launch.

They will fixed the party mandated sprites uniforms with period correct ones at $2.99 a pop. Free if you preorder I'm sure.

You just wait for when they implement the National Focus trees of some of the minors that have more combative communities, e.g. Serbia.

You only need to wait the hours after release when the steam workshop allows for mods to get your wish.

The sketchy mods for Germany will be carefully worded, aka "historical accuracy" mod or "alt history" labels. But yeah day one they will be out there

All this talk of a insane undead/ alt-history/ low fantasy dlc sounds like it could be a reason to get back into ck2 after a long hiatus. And if it pisses off the forum spergs even better.

Edit: it's a four year old game, pdox already has their money, make a kick rear end crazy alt history dlc and close out the development cycle on a high note.

Paradox is running a survey that is very interested in RPGs, action RPGs, and what makes them replayable: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/take-our-rpg-survey.962385/

Vampire action RPG confirmed. :tinfoil:

You knew they were going to take another crack at the rpg market after they folded their development project (whatever it was called). Hopefully they learned their lesson and understand that maybe, just maybe a game shouldn't need 2 dlc's to function as intended (looking at you stelaris).

The dozen Vicky 3 dreamers are the most vocal, however we all know it's Rome 2 in the pipeline because pdox doesn't want to lose money.

Hoi4 is good. Fix naval and air warfare, and for some reason that air war interface and you'll be good.

Vicky can't be salvaged however

What I wouldn't give for a modern-era political simulator where you play as a political party, and the central mechanic involved "Political tension" that you could exploit during elections and negotiations and passing laws and so forth.

Not a good look hiring a guy that has 100k of kickstarter money and pulls a disappearing act. However, don't write kick starter checks you don't mind never seeing a return on investment for either.

It’s all 1’s and 0’s. Paradox games shouldn’t give you an existential crisis because you pushed a button on the map painting simulator.

They made a sequel to Rome rather than a sequel to Vicky. You’ll never get what you want.


Edit: someone in a quarterly meeting laid out how Rome 2 would be more financially viable than Vicky 3(?).

The Vicky series has entered “no longer made or supported” territory and a vocal few people and disproportionate amount on this forum can not accept that.

They made a second Rome game rather than touch Vicky 3. It’s not going to happen.

The twenty of you who played Vicky will never see another in your lifetime. Accept this.

Also it’s got to be a confirmed hit from their stable of good sellers to make up for lackluster Rome 2.0, got to please those stock holders.
