It’s weird that the tutorial for Rome doesn’t tell you anything about how the senate works.

mmkay posted:Yeah, can someone do a quick rundown on it? None of the youtube videos I've watched played as Rome, so I was kind of confused why sometimes I get tyranny on DoW, sometimes not; and apparently now I'm stuck with perpetual Populists in power? The senate needs to vote approval on Wars but I have no idea what effects it

Nah even rich people historically went for governorships to grift hard. Granted that was more once provincial thing, but moving the date up for that is understandable

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:You say "make that work," but it's not like Alexander's conquests actually worked in real life, either. His empire almost immediately fell apart. So it should work how? In that it's technically possible to do, but is a tremendously bad idea that is doomed to end in a game over? But then... why? I mean it fell apart because Alexander made literally no attempt to keep it together. Alexander fell apart for the same reason a lot of kingdoms fell apart. No succession plan leads to civil war. It’s not special.

Fuligin posted:I dunno where you're getting that impression. Alexander absolutely intended for his empire to hold together after death and made preparations for it; hence founding all those Alexandrias, encouraging intermarriage between Persians and Macedonians, etc. It was the speed of his death and the fact that Roxanna hadn't yet given birth that set the stage for the Diadochi to tear themselves to pieces. Literally none of those things matter to keep the empire together. It’s not like his empire fell back to the natives or old dynasties. Post Alexander was still ruled by Greeks, just many Greeks instead of one.

Fuligin posted:I think I'm just failing to understand your thesis here. 'Multiple feuding kingdoms ruled by Macedonian elites' is pretty qualitatively different than 'united empire ruled by one Macedonian royal house.' My point is that his empire really didn’t fall apart do to size or cultural differences. It fell apart the same reason a lot of kingdoms fell apart, with no succession plan the generals stepped into the void. The intial argument was that Alexander’s kingdom fell apart because of how big it got and how quickly it happened. I don’t think that is particularly true

To be honest conquest shouldn’t be easy but holding historical wasn’t that hard before nationalism became a thing. You saw some rebellions, but regions didn’t have the communal ideal that started popping up in the 18th century. So you could conquer a foreign people and they mostly just accepted it. Because who cares which rich dudes are collecting your taxes?

Funky Valentine posted:As much as I appreciate characters having a health bar so you can prepare for a succession properly, everyone being essentially immortal until they get cancer at 75 with no easy way to kill them off early results in some hellish years with a 1/1/0/3 ruler. EU3 was fine for all its existence but yeah CK1 and Vicky 1 were messes. EU Rome worked fine but it barely had a game to be broken

reignonyourparade posted:If you like paradox games as wargames and like classical antiquity you'll like it, but you're also a crazy person. I hate to tell you this but for the most part they are wargames. Everything else they do is just a way to war more efficiently. Even CK2 which has probably the closest to a non military options. If you have the patient of a saint

Yeah as someone who played CK2 and EU4 on release they weren’t great. Though I think CK2 is kind of shielded by the fact CK1 was a barely functioning mess of a game. Which made CK2 look like a well polished machine by comparison

You should never ever trust a score aggregate. It’s mostly meaningless. Use only reviews that look for the same thing you do.

zhuge liang posted:People say it's meaningless because there's little reason to pick any particular character over another. You assign the guy with the highest finesse and lowest corruption and then forget about him for the rest of the game. There's remarkably little strategy to this choice in a strategy game. I mean I literally never cared about any of those things in CK2 and I played fine. I tried once but it was way to tedious for so little reward I just went with best stats Sometimes I dint even care about that

Sydin posted:I'd never recommend this game as a stepping stone because it would bore a new player to tears. The only people defending this game are those with preexisting paradox experience who are willing to put up with a clearly unfinished product because they know it'll get better. I wouldn’t recommend CK2 but that’s because I don’t really care for it much. Hell I like imperator more really

Gamerofthegame posted:"hello, I don't understand why you think this game is barebones and that we cut content. we made it the same way we make all our games, building ontop of the next one. all content in this game was built on from rome 1, a game ten years ago, please ignore that the EU series is more or less the same thing."

EU Rome could have been a good game had it not clearly fallen through the cracks of the change in Paradox structure. On a base level EU Rome was a fine game that just needed more content. Something one half assed expansion couldn’t do

Randallteal posted:CK2 can definitely work as a dollhouse kinda like the Sims where you're filling in the gaps with your imagination. I usually have some kind of meta story in my head while playing even if it's not always conscious, like imagining a historian telling the story of what's happening in the game from some point in the future. Yeah that’s what i mean by roleplaying, as far as an actual game goes it’s kind of a mess and not very good. But the role play poo poo is also what makes it unique so I can’t blame anyone for liking it for that

Arrhythmia posted:Rome was easily able to crush Carthage: hence, why there was only one Punic war. This isn’t really a good point. The first Punic war was long and brutal but Rome got everything they possibly could have wanted. Ancient wars generally weren’t to the death especially amount decently sized powers

Arrhythmia posted:You make it sound like the second Punic war didn't involve Rome's biggest defeat until Teutoberg. No I’m talking about the first Punic war as that is what the post originally was talking about. Rome could not have realistically governed North Africa and They desperately did not want oversea possessions. The islands didn’t count for reasons.

Yeah imperator is in a pretty good place now and got better much faster than Stellaris but I think there is some rewriting of history going on for stellaris that tends to happen as time passes.

I mean that is what paradox games are. You make your own fun. The core loop may be to blob but you can do what you want. If they tried to force you to role play the game would collapse on itself as players like to role play...on their own terms
