Mans posted:-why are regiments strictly locked to a province? They are tied to pops (which do reside in a province) so that they can become aligned with a rebel movement and join uprisings and revolutions depending on the pop's militancy etc

A Buttery Pastry posted:Yeah, that’s probably near the top of mechanic interactions in any Paradox games. That said, I feel like you could do it on a state by state basis instead without losing anything - while letting the system work better in lower population regions. Some mods change soldiers to be state instead of province (still tied to pops though) by using the script effect that bureaucrats get, so when a pop promotes to soldier they are moved to the state capital and join the big blob of soldiers there. That helps get rid of tiny useless soldier pops too small to support a regiment

The Cheshire Cat posted:It's not just Attila you're outrunning, it's climate change. Over the course of the game the global temperature cools which makes the fertility of every province in the game drop - and the northern provinces already have fairly low fertility while the Roman territory has all the best stuff, so even if you're way in the west you're encouraged to pack it up and push into their land to be able to feed your people. Realistically you don't need to pay attention to fertility beyond changing which buildings you make (low fertility = choose the farms with higher base food and income) which is a shame. They should have gone all in on the concept and not added those sheep farms.

Red Bones posted:Given that Vicky 3 has apparently been in development since 2018, I would assume that a GSG in a fictional/fantasy setting is something they're currently working on but aren't announcing yet, especially as there's been job listings for artists at Paradox for a non-historical game project. Earliest Steam build is from 2016 https://www.reddit.com/r/paradoxplaza/comments/ni08cm/they_kept_it_hidden_from_us_for_a_long_time/

Spiderfist Island posted:I’m interested in seeing whether the Anbennar community tries to port the mod’s setting (or an 1836 equivalent) to Victoria 3. It surely can’t be that difficult to add fantasy species to a pop’s definition using modern Paradox modding support. Culture? I remember a mod I made for V2 had Cthulhu monsters as general/admiral portraits by overwriting the Native American slots (since I don't think they were ever used by vanilla countries at the game start, only releasables)

Groogy posted:Bit late but since there's been a bunch about this and I was briefly mentioned. I just want to say none of you scared me away even if some here can get a bit brazen with their... critique. Besides being very busy at work I am also chairman of the local union chapter at pdx, plus my housing coop so I've just had way too much to do to dip in. But I do check in from time to time to see what people generally think about our games.

He claims to have invented a new system for our currency, inspired by "wise men from the East." Instead of something real like silver or gold pieces, he has suggested our money instead be parchment with a number on it!

I remember doing a recorded user research test on the Cities Skylines 2 tutorial, I was really bad at it lol. One of the user research people had to come in and tell me how to do curvy roads. Thus proving that grand strategy game players aren't smarter than other gamers, we're just slower.

Babylon 5 > DS9 > BSG > everything else I've been playing a non-Paradox GSG called Terra Invicta, it's pretty great. It has the backstory of XCOM, the geopolitics of EU4, the ship designer of Aurora, and the orbital mechanics of Kerbal Space Programme. There are so many different main gameplay mechanics happening at the same time (Westphalian states, secretive faction politics, agents hunting one another, developing a space industry, researching techs, building ships, managing fleet positions and supplies) and you need to juggle them all because they all interact. Learning this new game reminds me a lot of when I first got into Paradox games and had no idea what I was doing.

Farecoal posted:Few things kill my interest in a game faster than "tokens" or "cards" I don't think it really has tokens/cards. I think the closest is the agents ("councillors") who have different abilities ("missions") based on their starting profession? But their abilities overlap, some character traits also give (or limit) abilities, and you can give them new abilities by buying them organisations, kind of like outfitting a roleplaying character with items. Like Caitlin here started as a Diplomat, but I gave her a bunch of military and intelligence organisations and now she's my best expert at assaulting alien assets

The aliens give the game some real difficulty, they're like the Mongol/Hun/Chaos invasion in Total War games. The AI isn't going to beat the player otherwise. But an expanse mod would be cool!

Taxes should be as high as possible for a given state's ability to enforce its will on its subjects. "The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy". What are you gonna do about it, rebel? Declare independence? Overthrow your rightful king?

CommonShore posted:I should try HOI4 again. Someone recommended it to me once when I asked if anyone knew a war game where I could just plan things on an operational/logistics level, but my computer at the time kept making GBS threads. The logistics side is definitely my favourite part of HoI4. Researching tech, designing the equipment, putting it into production lines, designing the formation the equipment will be fielded by, then training the divisions and sending reinforcements to them in the field... the whole thing is interconnected, it's amazing. Have any other games tried to do something similar? 4x games like Master of Orion or Stellaris basically ignore equipment as a tangible resource you have to produce and stockpile

Arsenal also has some good changes to logistics. I've not played it for a while but I recall armies and navies carry supplies with them so units don't disintegrate when cut off, which makes the AI more formidable.
