I'm guessing Prowess is the new name for Personal Combat skill. Anyone wanna guess what 'control' is? Something related to managing your realm, probably.

The only thing I heard of is that Arumba didn't get invited to a LAN party they were hosting and he was upset they didn't contact him to tell him he wasn't invited.

Honestly, given the sheer amount of money I have spent on this game in relation to the time I have spent, I think a sub model would have been cheaper for me if it had been there since the beginning.

The real question is how much non-content we have relative to the content.

Huh, I always thought Ck2 was more popular than that. I guess my own biases were blinding me.

Eh, not having New Zealand is a fairly common map problem. It looks alright to me otherwise, I post, from the depths of the ocean for my actual location does not exist on the map.

Also most of the 'guaranteed history' stuff in at least HoI4 (not sure about EUIV) is based around the AI making certain decisions on which focuses and decisions to take.

CK3 generally doesn't have that level of precision on what options are available to the AI at the time. The most I think they could do is give buffs to people who canonically do well in real history, but like, they kind of already do that and it still doesn't prevent weird things from happening.

I have been expecting it as Vicky 3 (and having recently gotten into Vicky 2 for a mega campaign I have been interested to see a modern version of that) but now that I think about it a fantasy GSG is entirely my jam.

While I don't usually appreciate game devs trying to make funny jokes in their announcement, I did enjoy 'this is complicated, and the tutorial was vague', 'have you checked the wiki? have you checked youtube?', and 'okay, I'm looking at the forums and I think I got it now'.

They did say it is involving the eastern front in general and comes with a tank designer and logistics rework, including trains. But not much.

So Henry VIII is an rear end for obvious reasons, but I would like to know what you hated that much about Cromwell. Yeah, he was a religious fanatic who betrayed the ideals of a supposedly republican revolution, but I feel there were a lot of those in history.

Hellioning
Jun 27, 2008

Okay, fair. I just finished relistening to the revolution podcast about the English civil war and while Cromwell was a jerk he didn't seem like the worst person in that era by far.

He was putting down a rebellion caused by the last government's lovely handling of the Irish situation so not really all that different no.

Gaius Marius posted:

"Faced with the prospect of an Irish alliance with Charles II, Cromwell carried out a series of massacres to subdue the Irish. Then, once Cromwell had returned to England, the English Commissary, General Henry Ireton, adopted a deliberate policy of crop burning and starvation, which was responsible for the majority of an estimated 600,000 deaths out of a total Irish population of 1,400,000."

The only 'good' response to this is just not to make video games about WWII, or other large scale conflicts in which countries did bad things.

Which isn't necessarily the worst idea, but would deprive Paradox of basically all of their big games but Stellaris.
