Excited for Rome. I realised though, that when I think of Rome, I think of Imperial Rome. Republican Rome just... never enters my mind. Weirdly, I'm already thinking of what the DLC will be like. Also looking forward to buying a game called 'Rome' and never playing Rome.

I completely understand if, and in fact encourage that, they make it into the game, but every time I see the Garamantes now I can't help recoiling.

Gantolandon posted:It was a game where it was actually impossible to punish a disloyal vassal, because you couldn't imprison or execute anyone. CK2 was a much better game even after release. I played a bit of CK1 during that bit of time I had a computer that couldn't run Clausewitz games. I remember I had a rebelling vassal and I was barely winning, and then the Pope excommunicated me for fighting with another Christian. And that loving horn. CK1 was fine, patched up at least (didn't it need a patch to not crash on startup when it released?), but CK2 really is superior in like, every way.

I'm inclined to agree, we get so little and it's so basic. We do get little tiny bits of nice information, like being able to queue up buildings in this one, but I wish they were more in depth even if that means delaying them until the game's further along.

ExtraNoise posted:I'm actually okay with the amount of content in the dev diaries thus far. I would like to see more, sure, but the game is still a good chunk of months away so this pacing allows me to pick at the nitty-gritty a bit. I'd a least rather we get diaries like Dev Diary #2, which also gave just a bit of information but also talked about why they made some of the choices they made, in that case for the start date and map size. Compare to, say, Dev Diary #3 and #4, which just give you a list of things.

Makes sense, although I do find it a little weird to replace horses and then add horses in to replace camels, even though I get it. Also, I generally do the PNW/Northern California split about halfway through Oregon, but I've never really spent a lot of time there.

For class we read A History of the Pacific Islands and Nest in the Wind, but as noted there was a whole lot more to it than just those. Sorry that I'm not the best source for recs.

Ham Sandwiches posted:what aspects people find enjoyable or rewarding. Pillaging the Med and burning Rome as the Berber pirate queen of Crete. But in all seriousness, being character-driven rather than state-driven means that your goals can range anywhere from creating the greatest empire known to man, to killing all the loving Karlings. It's very freeform, in that way. It's not really a question of 'what should I care about,' rather 'what do I want to care about?'

Agreed, looking forward to the game but the UI is just not looking good. Useable sure, but not particularly pleasant to look at. Also I'm surprised at how much of the map is still wastes in that picture.The Cheshire Cat posted:I think the platypus is actually their debug console. You see a similar thing on their HoI4 development screenshots, except it's a dog wearing a helmet. It is.

Zohar posted:The Imperator dev diaries could definitely stand to be written a bit less like an Excel spreadsheet I agree, they feel a little empty, though in part that's because the game's not out yet. Compare to CK2 where the DDs can explain a lot and compare to how things work in the game as-is, but we've only got a vague sense here. I'd like to see more discussion about why they make the choices that they make, how they balance history and making a fun game, and things like that.

I need to pick up Tyranny. gently caress, I need to pick up the expansions for Pillars, I backed that game, put an hour into it, and then just... got distracted. However, unless I'm seriously misjudging Tyranny, I don't think it's really the same as a "Paradox fantasy game."

And while I loved MOM, I could never get into MOO2 and I've always considered it to be something of a disappointing game simply because it did feel like a reskinned MOM. Huh. I always liked MoO and loved MoO2 and MoM, but I never thought of that. Can you point out some specifics? It's been a while since I played either.

Tyrel Lohr posted:MoO/MoM talk Ah, that all makes sense. It's apparently been a very long time since I last played MoO, I thought the population food/production/research aspect was in all three games. Pretty much everything you mentioned are things I like about MoM/MoO2, so I'm curious about how the first one plays now. I don't remember it being too different from the other two, but uh... now that I'm really thinking about it, my age might have been in the single digits last time I played it. It certainly gives me an excuse to finally getting around to getting it on GOG. I really do want a Paradox fantasy game, though.

Eimi posted:Fantasy would be cool but that could go so many ways. I hope it's in the style of most games and not equal starts like Stellaris though since that's my least favorite part of the game. Also I'd love if it was classical fantasy and not medieval since I just bounced hard off of Imperator and I still want to enjoy some swords and sandals. Yeah, my hope is you have a bunch of options, then it generates a world based on those (the random world in CK2 would be a good starting point, but add more to it), so that you have at least a bit of history and some interesting, unequal starts. In my dream, the options would allow you to go from grimy low fantasy where a demon will wreck poo poo to absurd high fantasy where there are demons rampaging all around and your nation's hero/ine can take on entire armies by themselves. I'd also love a Bronze Age game. Dramicus posted:I think it's ironic that TNO will likely come closer to simulating a cold war game than paradox ever has. And those guys are all sorts of batshit crazy. TNO?

Dramicus posted:The New Order. It's a mod for HoI4 that focuses on post-ww2 where Germany won and is in a 3-way cold war with the Free West under the USA, and Japan's Asian bloc. The mod treats direct war between the major powers as a game-over state. Most combat is supposed to be done with coups, volunteers and lendlease. That's pretty neat!

I've only played a bit of Civ2 and Civ4, before I realised I just prefer the Paradox style of strategy, but... why not have limits on the number of units you can stack onto a tile instead of one per? It could be based on, say, terrain and tech and civ bonuses. It seems like a case where neither extreme really works great, for all the reasons said, but you could do something neat if you did something halfway inbetween.

Something I want in a hypothetical V3, one that could either turn out really good or really bad, is language tracking for POPs. I mentioned this a while ago, but I was thinking about those events in V2 where there's "signs in Yankee vs Dixie" and how culture and language are both closely related and at the same time are distinct elements. It could certainly make managing POPs more interesting and complex (or needlessly messy, overly complicated, and ultimately pointless). Of course there are other issues (Romansh? Papua New Guinea and the sheer number of languages there? The fact that language and culture can be very touchy subjects?) that might make Paradox shy away from the idea, but I do think that if properly implemented that it'd be a fascinating new wrinkle to the game.

The guy PM'd me saying he wouldn't post there again because he had no idea what he did wrong and wasn't going to walk on eggshells. If you accidentally say something offensive, the proper response is "oh, I had no idea, I'm so sorry" and not "well I didn't know, so gently caress you, I'm going home" and bitching about how it's not fair to get called out for saying something offensive. The guy you were defending is a dick, sorry to say.
