  1. millennia

    Humankind was "great" graphics and mid gameplay, minus half-decent innovations like the "nomadic age". Millennia is very mid graphics, plus the heinous battle screen animations, but very awesome min-maxing gameplay while also having many valid strategies to choose based on geography.
  2. Grand Strategy Project Caesar - Paradox Tinto's New Game

    If you aren't a fan of mana and you like more mechanically interesting maps and you love population systems this game is *probably* a big improvement from Eu4.
  3. Grand Strategy Project Caesar - Paradox Tinto's New Game

    https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/tinto-talks-3-march-13th-2024.1630154/ EU5 confirmed, Population confirmed, 1300s start date maybe confirmed.
  4. Incline Shadows Of Forbidden Gods: The Sleeper Has Awakened

    The thing that stops me from playing SoFG despite it being otherwise unique and awesome is the UI. Bobby really wants to support lots of shit-tier potato pc resolution sizes that cripple his ability to have a good UI. Otherwise I'd def buy this.
  5. Guild Wars 1

    Guild Wars 1 Necromancer was indeed a top 3 Summoner Necromancer of all time. You had tons of summon options, tons of healing options, tons of buff options. Of course you often would need to farm Elite Skills to be the best you could be. Everything about GW2 was worse actually. Not just Necro...
  6. Grand Strategy Project Caesar - Paradox Tinto's New Game

    Terra Invicta has a simplistic as fuck political environment to be fair. Being global wastes a ton of screenspace, makes it harded to fiddle the map to make places like Venice visible, and so on. Tons of downsides. And there's not much use for going up or down in the time period either. I hate...
  7. Europa Universalis IV

    That's not really "realistic", though. It probably wouldn't even be effective. Well it would be a massive slog to conquer anything but the AI wouldn't actually have a chance. The problem comes from both unrealistic internal cohesion and unrealistic temporal cohesion from the "player".
  8. Europa Universalis IV

    https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/achievements-such-as-world-conquest-one-faith-and-one-culture-should-not-exist.1627983/post-29455022 I've argued this for years and even decades by this point! Glad to see someone just coming out and saying it on the Paradox forums in the EU5...
  9. George Ziets opening a new RPG studio - Digimancy Entertainment

    A major issue is that game quality is not the most crucial factor in success. You need to have a base level of quality, sure, but beyond that it isn't super important. This is similar to how the optimal IQ on average is 115-130, not being in the IQ stratosphere at 170 or w/e. Game quality above...
  10. Grand Strategy Crusader Kings III

    The biggest issue with CK3 is even the good features are really half-assed. Vassal contracts, Secrets, Travel, etc. They added them, sure, but they didn't take them anywhere.
  11. Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

    Watching the Tim Cain video on why he quit Fallout 2 really makes me want to play Fallout 1. I won't but this is as close as I've ever gotten. I want an RPG about working at 90s interplay, that would be a solid sequel to Disco Elysium as far as a critique of a capitalist hellscape.
  12. Vapourware Unforetold: Witchstone (formerly Project Witchstone) - "living world" sandbox RPG with turn-based combat - CANCELLED

    Someone would need to get a socially system map&menu or visual novel game done first. Like larger scale Academagia maybe, before it comes to 3D model walking simulators.
  13. Grand Strategy Project Caesar - Paradox Tinto's New Game

    So this is verified, behind the scenes, as EU5, but also you can just look at it really. Some of their improvements sound quite interesting but we'll see how they replace mana gathering and spending as the core gameplay loop.
  14. Vapourware Unforetold: Witchstone (formerly Project Witchstone) - "living world" sandbox RPG with turn-based combat - CANCELLED

    There was no way this game was gonna do what they said. Even major studios can't do that stuff with an RPG where you walk around a 3D world with character models. Even Kenshi doesn't really do those things, or Dwarf Fortress/Rimworld. But at least they can fake it.
  15. Grand Strategy Victoria 3

    https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/sphere-of-influence-available-to-pre-order-and-free-train-bonus-pack-release.1626498/ Spheres Of Influence DLC info out and pre-orders up. A bunch of trash goofy meme shit plus possibly some actual meaningful mechanics.
