Anyone ever play the Crisis in the Kremlin remake or its followups from Kremlingames? The translation of earlier stuff is rough, although I was never able to really get into the later ones either. I bring them up because the sort of 'choose your own adventure' political system they center around seem to be what all the big alternate history mods for HOI4 try to force that game to do. Also in the game about the collapse of the Eastern bloc there is an achievement for making Albania into an Iranian style religious government.

skooma512 posted:In Urbek City Builder, a new game in the city builder space, actively talks poo poo about parking lots and it's kind of a failure state to have them at all. You don't get the late buildings until you have a proper transit system. The devs also put anarchist communes as a buildable and shout out Kropotkin. No building in that game requires a police station...except the Religious Neighborhood. You can get to the end game without ever building a police station at all. In fact you kind of have to because the Religious Neighborhood is a developmental dead end playing through and discovering that the anarchist commune only produces writers was very funny to me

Has someone made a western front WW1 game in the style of Defcon. There would be only a few mechanics to set up offensives, and when you order the offensive the main feedback is seeing the total number of casualties go up.

Stairmaster posted:Eu4 should probably not run until 1820 no one remembers March of the Eagles but it makes a while lot of sense to have a game centered around the Atlantic revolutions and Napoleonic wars as their own thing. Have it start at 1787 so players can take the US down alternate routes with the Constitutional Convention.

the politics of Terra Invicta are very funny taken together. Color revolutions are a game mechanic. The US can be fixed in a few clicks by switching the budget from military to welfare. Israel is a "flawed democracy." I'm watching some videos of a guy who aligned Russia and the US together and is using the US military to help Russia reestablish the USSR.

Terra Invicta with a minimum amount of modding would be the ideal QAnon game. Just rename some factions and occasionally refer to the aliens as demons and you're good to go.

the latest update for CK3 made it so the AI actually knows how to upgrade and consolidate their holdings effectively, and it seems to work. so some people at Paradox know what they're doing.

all the scrubs are up in arms about how Vicky 3 doesn't sufficiently model "free market capitalism," but the real grogs are still annoyed about how CK3 models the development of an early modern fiscal-military state hundreds of years too early.

Controlling the day-to-day movements of armies on the opposites ends of Europe in 1200 is proper gameplay Deciding when and where a Belgian paper mill is set up in 1857 is Stalinism

The weirder political issue for me is the "comfy" aesthetics of Vicky 3 combined with the reality of the period. It was interesting to watch this live streamer get a genocidal event and struggle about how to answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydJqPlbxhGY&t=639s In other parts he pursues edicts like women's suffrage because "it's the right thing to do." that question pops up and suddenly its all "from a gameplay perspective, this is the better button." I think the idea of gameplay that has the internal politics and development of a country be a "garden" is more interesting than map-painting, but it's a pretty harsh garden. CK3 is fine portraying player characters as monstrous, but Vicky 3 doesn't take that direction. I'm not sure it could if it wanted too, with the games having major differences with regards to historical distance and POV of the player. Tropico actually faces a similar dilemma in subject matter, and settled on the tone of a farce.

It's not a coincidence that the guy who wrote Late Victorian Holocausts died the same day Victoria 3 came out.

Paradox had originally teamed up with a Russian studio to codevelop CK1, but that partnership fell through and I don't think any of the Russians were even creditted in the final release https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/the-team-consists-of-who.33747/ quote:Apr 9, 2002

I never played Old World, but the concept of only having a certain number of actions in a turn seemed like a cool mechanic. Combined with automation, it seems like an interesting way to make micromanagement possible but risks other areas being neglected or running suboptimal.

The simulated solar system and orbital mechanics in Terra Invicta were wild to hear about. I keep waiting for an Expanse or Gundam mod that focuses on that layer to be announced.

gradenko_2000 posted:I picked up Victoria 3 during the sale, and started a game with Brazil, hoping to be able to focus on the economy without needing to dabble on foreign policy at all does the player actually lose the game if they lose the civil war, or do you mean your specific run was screwed at that point in Vic 2 and EU4 losing civil wars or revolts can be part of some strategies, so I'm sort of surprised at that change if it happened

BearsBearsBears posted:The Focus trees of HOI4 are basically a visual novel or a choose-your-own-adventure book. HOI4's genre is strategy/VN and it turns out that's a surprisingly popular genre combination. The team that did the remake of Crisis in the Kremlin have a whole series of "choose-your-own-adventure" games about socialist states in the late Cold War era now. I've enjoyed them a little but still don't really understand the mechanics outside of events. The translations to English have improved over time at least.
