NATO counters are worse than Hitler. This discussion is pretty dumb since, as they said many times, HOI4 will have grog counters as an option.

I played Witcher 3 on release, on a computer that i'm sure was under the official minimum requirements and still had no problems at all, except for Novigrad where my computer was asking to die and the framerate was garbage. Which makes me appreciate Skellige much more actually, because that was the smoothest of experiences. That's my 2 cents on this very minor issue. Furthermore, i consider that CK3 should be made.

A Strange Aeon posted:I think if I'd been able to afford to create the Kingdom of Ireland, I could have destroyed lesser titles, right? And then I'd have lost less on succession? Or what is the actual use case for destroying titles? If you had created the Kingdom, your main heir would have been king while the others would have been vassals under him. Destroying titles is very useful for succession planning, but not on Confederate Partition, since that creates the titles anyway when you die. Anything better than Confederate though and you can destroy titles safely.

CK3 launched with a more concise version of much of the content of those DLC. Islam, Steppe Nomads and jewish characters are already playable, India and the 867 start are already there, much of the philosophy of Way of Life informed the game design, the religious reformation system is basically the same but better, and it already came out with a much expanded Ruler Designer. They're never gonna do more start dates so Charlemagne is already tossed out, and while an official EU4 converter and Sunset Invasion 2 would be nice, the latter might make people lose their ability to feel human again. I agree that it's missing much of the fun flavor of those DLCs, but what it has is solid. Honestly it's really that, looking back, CK2 was incredibly barebones at release (remember how there were only 2 de jure empires on the whole map at release, the HRE and Byz?), and we've since grown used to all the, frankly, basic things that Paradox had to add to it. The things we're really fully missing that i think are sorely needed, aside from regional flavor, are playable republics, the College of Cardinals and better mechanics for the ERE. The only way to do a big map expansion again would be adding China, and that would be a massive effort. But honestly i was very sick of CK2's DLC bloat at the end of its lifetime, like how people (justifiably) feel about EU4 currently. Frionnel fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Oct 9, 2023 |

EU3 started in 1399 since In Nomine, and the CK series has some weird hard limits on international diplomacy (smh at not being able to interact much with rulers of other religions, and the limits on negotiating alliances, anyone who has read about the Crusades or the Reconquista knows how involved christian-muslim diplomacy was). Plus, almost nobody plays Crusader Kings into the 14th and 15th centuries, so i don't mind having that era in Europa Universalis. Hope i don't hype myself for a new Imperator.

TheMcD posted:Building buildings with ducats. Pretty much everything that changed the "effectiveness" of provinces was a building. There were admin buildings, military buildings, economy buildings - and those had levels, so you could build a level 1 military building, then you unlock the level 2 military building with tech, which is better but more expensive and requires the level 1 building, and that goes on until about level 6 I think? EU3 provinces also had population, which was a number that affected taxation, manpower, goods, etc, and would grow or decrease according to it's conditions. Usually the number would balloon to improbable heights by 1800.

Looking back at EU3 (i found an instructional LP while looking for pictures), i completely forgot that some of the art is still used in EU4. The advisors and buildings, and the icon for the army tab for example. The trade goods too.

I usually put the corruption slider at whatever i need to get a -0.1% corruption at minimum, more if i can spare the cash. I sometimes fiddle with missionary and colonial maintenance but only out of desperation.

I'm gonna say that between sliders and buttons i prefer sliders just because they give a little more flexibility for what seems like little cost on the devs' time, but i don't understand why Johan feels the need to throw some shade there.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:the vicky 3 approach of "just push this button for medium taxes" takes out the opportunity to obsess over small details that probably aren't important anyway. are you missing out on some ability to get a super optimal min-maxed tax setting by having so little granularity? maybe, but also i just don't think it matters. thinking about taxation sliders isn't fun, so i appreciate them just doing away with them. The V3 approach is the same as a slider with only 5 steps instead of 1000. It makes no difference. If you want to have medium taxes with no fuss, move it to 50% and leave it there.

I just don't see sliders or buttons as really too different, besides people getting riled up that Johan was once again unprofessional and smugly called out his fellow devs for a minor creative difference. We don't know how the game plays, how much you have to use the sliders or even how the automation feature works. Like, i agree that steps of 0.1% is too much but would be perfectly satisfied with steps of 1%. Frionnel fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Apr 11, 2024 |

The dev diaries have mentioned that there will always be a drawback whenever you move the slider. That could be made interesting. It certainly wasn't in EU3, which is my only reference. I haven't played MEIOU&Taxes so i don't know what they do, but it seems to be another of their influences (the third and final being Imperator).
