This idea is a classical case of intellectually kind of interesting, godawful to play. It's like when a classical literature proffesor designs a governmental building or Le Corbusier designs a city in India. The goal of the ideas guy is very different from the people who wants it to do something beyond existing. If you want to have better game dev ideas go make your first game.

ilitarist posted:There's a historical immersion in that but it will also mean that you will have no end-game threats unless the system is rigged to affect player more. You keep saying stuff like this. It's not a narratively structured game ili, it's a sandbox. There shouldn't be any balance here. The game is the experience of building sandcastles in the sandbox and experiencing the ants move

Beyond the history itself, the previous ep. (6) actually spoke on this very problem with the alternative nazis, as they vehemently are not liking history or the rest of us nowadays

A Buttery Pastry posted:Sweden's manpower in EU4 is the most disproportionate by far out of all countries in the game. It literally starts off with 60 times as much manpower relative to its historical population as Korea. Because it's not a sim and its the best Pdox can do to get their game to consistently reproduce the historic outcome without direct player control, to satisfy the player base yelling about "realism". I fully agree with you on that everything about the historical Swedish empire, was improbable, against the odds, inhumane, sacrificial, and time and time again a stupid, irresponsible, gamble at the total mercy of luck. Any accurate analytical simulation of nation state level warfare in the timeperiod would need several orders of magnitude more interacting factors, a great many factors which could not, and can not, be justifiably quantified and even less now so far removed. Paradox makes games

The Swedish empire was jingoistic. It was aggressive. It was colonial. It was self obsessed. It was evil. It started wars and sacrificed people everywhere in the name of moving land borders under the rule of Swedish despots. It did it against god, justice, statistical probability, and common sense for 200 odd years, and it eventually lost it all. There was nothing to make the rivers of blood worth it. This is what the Swedish empire amounted to. The strangeness is, it did do it.

Kaza42 posted:As a boring person, my first game will be the USA. Sink or swim time, starting small and manageable is for suckers! What do you mean, how could you possibly not succeed as a big country. Large countries are the easiest with the isolated US being the least risk/most resources of all! Small countries would only be easy in that nothing you do changes much, and you don't have much resources to fail at changing it with either. (At least in vicky 1+2) Industrial powerhouse Colombia is the only admirable endeavour, bah! ThisIsJohnWayne fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Oct 16, 2022 |

ilitarist posted:Are we debugging Victoria 3 code through post messages now? The code logic problem is way less confusing than you imagine, it's middle(?) school math. Every good, is a factor. One of the things the ai needs to do is run its calculatations for each one. Most of these interact with eachother and other systems. That means, in processor cycles, one new good isn't x{algorithm} +1{algorithm}. It's {algorithm}x+1. 102 vs. 103. Code is fine, it's designing away issues of the amount of work the 'puter needs to do, that makes adding new mechanics doable. All the goods and their dynamic demand is way more process power hungry than any other part of the game, and not adding to that specific domain is what the conversation is about ThisIsJohnWayne fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Mar 23, 2024 |

bc the ai don't have an inverse desire weighting multiplier for regions n regions away from their own, nor one for bordering n owned incorporated regions. Shits equally lootable
