I dunno about you guys, but personally I think Paradox sold out to the casuals because they're not including NATO counters in Stellaris.

Is EUIV's latest DLC included in the current sale, or do I have to purchase it separately from the EUIV pack?

Vivian Darkbloom posted:The "Europa Universalis IV Collection" is missing the three most recent expansions: Art of War, El Dorado, and Common Sense. Thanks! That's what I needed to know. I'll have to wait for the next sale then, even if EUIV wasn't my favorite game when I tried the demo.

Dibujante posted:The national focus thing is honestly my most anticipated part of HOI4. HOI was always short on the narrative department after it left the tightly scripted event chains of HOI2/DH/other spinoffs. I think that making HOI into a political sandbox via national focus trees is a really good step towards reintroducing a narrative but not tying it strictly to the same WW2 every time around. That ought to be an achievement if anything. "Peace in Our Time": Diplomatic Victory as Axis.

Basically the anomalies seem a little bit like cracking open ruins in Civ or pods in SMAC/X -- random effect, possibly a disaster, sometimes nothing, sometimes a nice bonus. That was entertaining enough, so I'm pleased to read about this being a part of Stellaris.

Randarkman posted:e2: What's the audience here? People who would like to gently caress warships? Because it just makes no goddamn sense. It's "anthropomorphization" -- turning something that's not a human into some kind of cute humanoid mascot representation. It's "a thing" in Japan. The audience consists of 1) anime pervs, 2) Japanese nationalists and 3) anime pervs who are also Japanese nationalists. It doesn't stop there: your shipgirl can get damaged in battle, and her card art/icon thingy gets its (already-minimal) clothing progressively more torn as she gets more damaged.

I dunno, the development tiles in this don't look too different from buildings in provinces in EU4. Maybe it's because I haven't played very many space 4X games, but EU4 was the first thing I thought of when I saw that screenshot.

I'm pretty sure we were being pretty unironic last year when we got into a 10 page argument/derail over whether or not Westernization in EUIV was Eurocentric and how to more realistically depict technological progress, and nearly got moved to D&D!

It'd be neat if there were ways to simulate internal threats like the breakdown of a space empire due to stagnation or something. Like, say you've blobbed up pretty well and are stable for a while. If there was some kind of "Decadence" (but not annoying like CK2's Decadence) where your empire would gradually go into a stagnant period, decline, and start to break up, that would keep the late game a bit more dynamic. I'm thinking something like Asimov's Foundation series.

Yeah, whatever they do, if there's a natural-feeling "empire breakup" mechanic, it should feel like a relief to grant far-flung colonies autonomy, so that you can concentrate your energy and resources on maintaining what you have. Otherwise it'd feel really unfun to have everything you worked so hard to build up come apart like the game is forcing you to. I could see it like releasing holdings in CK2, making new vassal duchies and such.

Personally, I like that they're not whitewashing it or playing it coyly by calling it "Planetary Bombardment" or "Expel the Natives" or whatever. It's just a plain straight-up "genocide" button.
