Earwicker posted:are there any statements or plans or even rumors regarding an EU5 or for that matter a CK3 or a Victoria 3? They're officially 'wrapping up CK2', but they've been doing that... for a while now, and it might mean we've got one more dlc incoming or 3-4? I found an interview just now saying Conclave would be the last major dlc.  I think CKIIs lead dev has said he's got some 'cool ideas' for CK3 that they couldn't do with CK2.... But yeah, I wouldn't expect it for some years, I imagine they'll take a break and do something else like V3 or Rome 2 before returning to CK.

unbutthurtable posted:How do people think a Rome 2 would play out with how far they've come with other game series'? Great. Hard to go wrong with the period. I still think they should probably just reboot the title of that too. Rome 2 could get confused with another major game, Europa Universalis Rome is just... bad.

Poil posted:No, I have no idea what that even means. I don't have the game in front of me, but I think if you go into the game folders you should find something like... euiv/maps/cache delete all the poo poo in the cache folder and then start the game. It'll take longer to start and recalculate all the province distances/adjacencies and such. Used to use it when distances got screwed up after patches, but haven't had to do it in a long while.

If they're not going to do EU5, they should declare a wrap on 'Season 1' of EU4, roll everything into one package, spend 9-12 months combing, adjusting, tweaking and adding poo poo, and then roll out EU4 season 2 with a big expansion and everything prior rolled into the base game.

skasion posted:e: also, does a player pope really not get any say in who gets colonization rights? That’s lame. If I’m the pope and I want to reserve the whole new world for myself, I should be able to do it, dammit. Spain just went Protestant. Good job. For real though, you can reserve the whole New World for yourself as Switzerland, if you want. You just have to be willing to enforce your claim.

Blorange posted:It's a good theme for an ideas guy run if you're looking to become a world power by 1500. It's unfortunate that you have to start in Australia if you don't want it converted to a colonial nation. Did that change? I did an Maori run as custom Aotearoa, started in New Zealand, and because it's in the colonial zone, Australia (and the entire New World) stayed mine and never became colonial nations.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I would rather see them take the Napoleonic era out of EU4 and add it to the beginning of Victoria 3. The way EU4 lategmae works (forts, forts everywhere) does not jive well with Napoleon's War of Maneuver. Do both. But yeah, I agree. It would also help mix the game up a bit, with the scenario feeling a little less scripted then standard Vicky does. I kinda wonder if it would be even better to move the start date back to... 1750 or so? Get the Seven Years War in, colonial revolutions, Napoleonics, etc.

Senor Dog posted:They’d have to do some crazy heavy handed wizardry to ensure USA, Brazil, et al actually show up. But yeah this could be fun You could absolutely steal the Colonial Nations mechanic from EUIV, so all these New World states start as satellite states on game start, with their own armies and economy and such. Hell, you'd probably want to use that mechanic for things like the East India Company anyway.

really queer Christmas posted:I know the ai’s tendency towards total war has already been done to death as a complaint, but man am I tired of an ally refusing to white peace out to the point they take massive loving losses constantly for a distant ally- even while revolts rage in their land. Especially when they start taking mercs to send at your much better stacks. I like the idea of them adapting the new War Exhaustion mechanic from Stellaris. Like if you're England, and declare war for a 3 development island in the South Pacific, France is not going to contest it anything like if you declare war for the entire Channel coast or something. You grab the island, sink a couple fleets and after a year or two, France says 'gently caress it' and lets you have the frozen, guano covered rock off the coast of Antarctica rather then burning their entire country to the ground over it.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Re: armies having a range: It should be logistically and realistically impossible to project force across the globe like players and AI alike can currently do. Its that simple. Paradox devs are some creative fellas so I trust they could come up with a system to increase attrition the farther you get from an army's "home/base state" or if you cannot trace a line from the army through friendly territory back to <something>. I agree, but here's the thing. I don't think they want to.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I know I'd love to see a massive overhaul of how armies work. More realistically for V then IV at this point. Early game standing armies are too expensive to maintain and you Levy troops from states for a while much like CKII. Losses/length of service affect some sort of provincial loyalty/ noble happiness. As the game goes on you develop a professional standing army. Armies have a home state like V2, and keeping them oversees is prohibitively expensive, even late game. Instead you have a small corp of European troops and recruit local sepoys/allies much like the merc interface that have local strength/stats and can abandon you or whatever. Colonial states raise their own colonial militia, and you can move them around in war like your own troops as long as they state in the colonies.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a 'pop' system per se, but yeah one of the biggest things I want for EU is a more granular system for culture/religion. The current binary all-or-nothing system is a terrible hold over from back when EU was an adaptation of a literal boardgame. (I own an unpunched copy)
