Gwyrgyn Blood posted:I think there's a pretty clear distinction between 'I don't like this mechanic because it doesn't sound fun and I haven't enjoyed it in other games' and 'I don't like this mechanic because IT'S NOT REALISTIC ENOUGH'. Though I suppose from a grodnard's perspective, anything less than perfectly realistic is 'less fun' somehow. Gwyrgyn Blood posted:As far as Tiles go, I have no idea what to think about them because the diary is far too vague and we don't really have any understanding of the real scope of the game or how the scope changes as it progresses still. I feel like these dev diaries are a lot less helpful (and a lot more prone to confusion) when we're looking at a brand new game where we don't even really have a basic concept of the game flow or mechanics.

Autonomous Monster posted:So you've got multiple Nevas, one on both sides of the city, and if the Germans want to envelopment it they have to cross to Finland and come at it from the north? Which probably won't be a problem for them, but I'm not sure what else you could do to make it unenvelopable. Maybe add a little promontory there, stick the city on that, and give it only one adjacent province? Hmm. The geography's not really set up to support that at this scale.

This algorithm is very close to what the AI will use."

Wiz posted:On the automation, it's usually not a good solution but in this case where there's such a split between people who want to design ships and people who don't, it's really the only sensible one. n. 1. A settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions, leaving both sides equally unhappy.

I'm not even trying to be that guy but it has to be said; I realize that this might be the correct aesthetic for the period but "my immersion" wouldn't be any more ruined if it looked somewhat better then it is when I conquer the world as Romania. Hmm, it's just one interface aesthetic, not one per ideology, right? Would be kind of cool with different skins.

Beefeater1980 posted:I was interested to see that USNews and Wharton have nicked paradox's idea and are now publishing prestige rankings for nations in 2016: http://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries Actually, given that this is clearly based around American views of which countries are great and which aren't, it made me think. It would kinda make sense that, similar to how aggressive expansion is no longer a global thing in EU4, perhaps prestige could be exist on a per-country basis in V3? With an weighted average* being applied for world rankings. That would basically mean that you'd have to actually do poo poo in a region to build up your influence, so kicking the rear end of Brazil would make you look tougher to Argentina than doing the same to Siam. Hmm, actually, maybe just have Influence be this per-country prestige, without a hard cap and applicable to even great powers. It could then work similarly to trade power in EU4, with it being more of a sliding scale of how much of their poo poo you can get access to, rather than being an all-or-nothing thing. Obviously the country's own strength would afford them influence too. Having 50%+ influence in another country would then count as you having them in your sphere, unlocking diplomatic options, allowing you to undermine your rivals and possibly annexing them eventually, at even higher levels of influence. Such a system would also allow China to both have its influence within its own borders vastly reduced relative to foreigners, but still maintain nominal independence because the sheer number of foreigners loving with them prevents any one from dominating. A country like Siam might likewise attempt to balance the influence two imperial rivals exert on it, to retain its independence. *Based on industrial score perhaps?

Psychotic Weasel posted:While I'd like to know more about the battle planner as well, I'm one of those people who liked to manually control everything in HOI3 (and other games) and I don't know if I'd trust the system to fight intelligently or any better than I would. Like, how does it know how to match up your forces with your opponents the best way to counter them (i.e. so you're not trying to drive your tanks across a river at AT guns fortified on the other side) or when to push, when to fall back or flank? Does it just randomly distribute forces along the line you've drawn? And how does it deal with pockets and other flanks? When they were marching on Stockholm it looks like half the forces just race past it and let the British breakthrough in the south without any resistance.
