The Cheshire Cat posted:I got Hearts of Iron 3 ages ago as part of a bundle but never really got into it since it was before I really understood Paradox games (I've since played the hell out of CK2 and Victoria 2 so I think I can wrap my head around it a bit better). Would it be worth picking up the DLC while it's on sale? No and yes, respectively. What I'm saying is don't play HoI 3 unless the idea of spending 2 hours in a glorified excel spreadsheet setting up your Order of Battle at the start of every game appeals to you.

Why does "EU3 complete", in 2015, still exist, as a thing?

I don't mind that there's a whole lot of old stuff on the sales page though it would be nice if they sorted it so that all the new (and good) stuff is at the top. I know focus groups have probably shown that randomisation is ~the best for your brand~ or something but I just refreshed three times and Cities Skylines was in the bottom two rows all three times, that's dumb. But yeah my problem is that "EU3 Complete" is not in fact complete and there's very little to indicate to someone without foreknowledge that that's the case. Of course the argument then is why would someone without foreknowledge be buying EU3 instead of EU4 anyway, but if you're making that argument then why put up EU3 for sale at all? Given it's been this way for years and years now, it feels intentionally misleading and exploitative to me.

Kavak posted:Get Darkest Hour if you want to try out Kaiserreich, otherwise just wait for Hearts of Iron IV. This. Darkest Hour is fun in spite of itself. The old Europa engine games are clunky compared to EU3, let alone modern Paradox games like CK2 and EU4. Darkest Hour is one of the most refined Europa games and it's still quite a step down in usability, and in addition I found that once you know the "right" way to play you're basically done because the "wrong" ways to play are so inefficient in comparison that all you're doing by experimenting is shooting yourself in both feet. Unless you're desperately jonesing for a WW2 Paradox game, just wait for HoI 4.

The people writing negative reviews for Common Sense are manchildren complaining that they weren't given every new mechanic introduced in a patch to a 2 year old game for free, only some of them. Anyone complaining about the new fort system is literally insane. Common Sense owns, buy it.

Sharzak posted:I can see why people are complaining in that case. It sounds like in this system, disrupting supply chains is functionally the same thing as strategic bombing. If I can cut an army off from a port/surround them I should be able to starve them of fuel and supplies in a matter of weeks rather than waiting months for the production chain to be affected . Units still need to be in supply, ie able to trace a route from a supply depot (your capital) to their location, or they'll suffer heavy attrition and combat penalties.

I think I’ve been more excited by the four dev diaries for Stellaris’s new planet system than all 21 dev diaries for Imperator. It seems like Imperator is going to be a straight iteration on what was in EU: Rome - which is fine, but hard to get invested in when that game came out over a decade ago, and the most comparable Paradox games like CK2 and EU4 have been around for 6 and 5 years respectively. Given the amount of effort that’s being put into the map and province density, it feels like there’s a lack of ambition in trying anything new with the critical core mechanics.

CK3 should only feature Western Europe and include a hyperdetailed simulation of the minutiae of high Middle Ages feudalism where for example you must face the consequences of disobeying the rules of heraldry
