Meiou looks like the game I want euiv to be, maybe a few steps past it in complexity honestly, but I have a feeling it'll be cripplingly slow, unwieldy, and be extremely buggy. I really hope paradox is looking at some of the things they've modeled for internal development because with a whole studio behind them I really think eu5 could finally be the game where building a smaller country that's more centralized and economically developed can finally be as fun as the giant blob empires.

YF-23 posted:As someone who's played the version of MEIOU for the previous DLC/patch, M&T, while suffering from those things to some extent, is probably not as "slow, unwieldy, and extremely buggy" as you imagine it to be. Its single greatest sin is not communicating things to the player as well as it should. It has a shitton of its own mechanics, which generally work well enough and are not utterly impenetrable, even if they're not always integrated well enough into the base game mechanics. But you have to go through the interface, clicking buttons and reading event descriptions to get a grasp of what those mechanics actually are. Once you actually accomplish that, the workings of the mechanics are more or less intuitive, but there's a wall for the player to climb to get to that point. Somewhat like a player that starts up EU4, or Dwarf Fortress, for the first time, everything will feel like a confusing mess until you work yourself to achieving familiarity with the mod. The different design philosophy is the most exciting part of the mod though. I think EUIV is a pretty decent game but basically every game devolves into the same thing. Fabricate claims, take territory, ally the biggest guy you can find. And none of the expansions have touched on what I feel are huge flaws in the game, rather they've tacked on system after system seemingly just to add bulletpoints to the back of the box. Estates are probably the biggest example I see of this in the game they are somehow both extremely annoying, poorly thought out, and easy to game. Meiou's version seems extremely well considered and flavorful in comparison. Half the reason I want a EU5 is so they can try and roll in some of the better changes we've seen in mods and in the expansions and stick them in the game more organically. Just imagine instead of dozens of event box based map switching like in Meiou if there was a way to easily switch between demographic map modes and see how you emphasizing trade was bringing more people in from the country side into your cities increasing their tax and trade incomes breaking the power of the landed aristocracy, but the growing bourgeoisie populations causing major unrest as enlightenment ideals start spreading. I also want a prettier map to stare at for hundreds of hours.

Gort posted:Frankly if you think Paradox charging £17.49 for Hearts of Iron 4 is ridiculous, let me direct you to the Playstation store, where they are selling games for in excess of £60 You're comparing a sale price to a full retail price. Counterpoint Crusader Kings 2 is still $40 retail and you'd be hard pressed to find a game on psn that's five years old that hasn't been marked down. If you're going to defend them at least use like examples.

IncredibleIgloo posted:There are few games that continue to receive free content updates for five years though, so it might be hard to find an apt comparison. "Free content" is a bit of a stretch when you consider that you need to spend in excess of a hundred dollars to get a complete game.

I think Rome 2 makes the most sense from a business perspective. If they make the base robust enough you could stretch the time period from Babylon to the early middle ages somewhat feasibly. And sell each one of those timline chunks for 10 to 15 dollars.

Beamed posted:I don't know if I'd buy Rome 2 after buying Sengoku or March of the Eagles on release. Paradox's record of abandoning games that aren't mainline is... well. Crusader Kings wasn't mainline until it started making boatloads of cash. Sengoku and mote were clearly never designed to be expanded as much as at least my hypothetical Rome 2

Shark Sandwich posted:Tbh having late antiquity would be the only way I’d play Rome 2. It’s such an interesting period of history and I knew nothing about it until fairly recently. Most Euro history I took went from Odoacer straight to Charlemagne So little is known about huge swathes of Europe at that time that it might as well be a fantasy game at that point.

I'm assuming that imperator will be designed with a state system in mind so it shouldn't be too difficult to manage. Compared to euiv which was designed with fewer larger provinces in mind then doubled the provinces and added states as a stop gap solution.

Vivian Darkbloom posted:I'm nervous to see any comparison to EU:R, because so much in that game was a poorly-implemented mess. I hope they start from scratch really. The first crusader Kings was even more of a mess. If they can turn that game into one of their most popular titles than you shouldn't be worried that they can transform Rome. Hopefully this time they manage to limit their scope somewhat though.

Once you understand how far they'll go. And how to set up housing blocks properly they aren't too difficult. The military side is the part that really drags them down.

Yeah build your granary closer to your housing black and use walls to keep the city rating up and to keep out people who don't need to be walking into the market? Did you play the xia tutorial? It's actually pretty good at explaining these things. There's also a YouTube channel called gamerzakh that goes mission to mission and also does city building doctors that serve as wonderful supplementary info for the game.

I can't remember the exact number but walker will only walk...twenty I think space before they turn around to walk home. You generally want every thing as compact as possible without affecting city quality for maximum efficiency. It seems complicated but once you understand the basics you can really break free from basic sqaure housing blocks and still be successful with more aesthetic city designs.

IAmThatIs posted:Unpopular opinion incoming I don't want this because I want the byzantines, nomads, Muslims and republics to all feel more unique then being this weird psuedo feudal system. But I also don't want to see India or China. At least not in the base game. I'd rather see them not included and have a more robust medieval Europe simulator then to try and cram in all of Eurasia. I think at that point it'll become too unfocused. I'd love to see a separate game that has the level of support that ckii or euiv had for Asia though.

Vicky does tie trade to geography though, not through imaginary trade lines,but by the placement of it's resources. It's not perfect, but neither is the way EUIV's trade routes force trade into certain nodes even if it doesn't make sense in the context of the world

A lot of people thought Phantom Doctrine was good, personally I fell off it quick. There's a cheap Political Sim calle China:Mao's Legacy that I've been looking at, only seven bucks. There's also the PC port of Crisis in the Kremlin
