Europa Universalis IV

[fantadomat]

Paradox' so called "DLC strategy" was what dissuaded me from modding EUIV. I may go for it, once they stop supporting it, because I'm already getting paid to sync changes to code, I'm not going to do it as a hobby too.

Yeah, it was kinda sad that it took CK2's 3.3 patch for most of the total conversion mods to be anywhere near up to date.

Well at least ck3 runs a lot better than ck2.

Are they not working on it any more? I remember MEIOU for EUIV with one of the craziest modder stories - one guy explained in a developer diary that he has hired a babysitter for his kid for the time while he is working on the mod.

They are working on it, but they're sprinting towards releasing a 3.0 version of the mod (which reworks some of the core mechanics from the ground up) and seem unwilling to drop everything and update compatibility every time Paradox drops a new update. They'll release 3.0 first, then work on making 3.0 compatible with the newest version of EU4

The game is still borked, isn't it? Even the official Paradox forum thinks so: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...5d62-is-now-live.1421108/page-2#post-26925857

3 months after dlc release it cant be ...Only minor issues left i read, like not getting any female heir and reloading save deleting merc army. Hmm AI still disbanding regiments instead of mercs, the more i read the worse it gets...oh fuck countries still getting in overdebt.

As someone who spends too much time reading those forums, Mortmal: absolutely, yes. ._.

The Brazilian Slaughter time to conquer the brazilian highlands yo

I've always wondered why naval, maritime, and trade ideas don't offer an improve relations bonus for globalist empires, and why absurd globalism (Mamluk China!) doesn't have enhanced penalties to aggressive expansion. Because racism lol. Diplomacy, espionage, religion, humanism, etc basically anything that calms down the Great Coalition Wall completely smoke every other idea.

Prussian Space Marines disagree.

Paradox are doing a survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PXXY5VR

Maybe tell them we don't want another Imperator 1.0 mana-fest for EU5?

I can't help but feel Johan added this desperate for someone to validate his recent, multiplayer-orientated design philosophy.

But yeah, good chance to tell them that flavour is saviour.

 

[Fedora Master]

Voted Vicky 2 on everything.

 

[AwesomeButton]

They don't allow Hearts of Iron 2 answers

 

[fantadomat]

They should make a fantasy game with shit ton of lore and interesting nations to play,make it a mix of ck and eu4. I don't want nu vicky because they will fuck it up for sure lol.

What, actually have the nations fleshed out and flavourful from the start? As the point of the game??? Can paradox even do that?????

 

[Mortmal]

I fear EU5 will be a let down not matter what, EU4 have countries that play very differently and many many different asymetrical starts , this is not the case in imperator nor ck3 yet . Those games are nowhere near as deep, even after thousands of hours spent i am still learning stuff about EU4, on other games i feel like i already seen everything.

 

[Sranchammer]

Time to start another Orthodoxy run.

The mana of EUIV was already decline. It took me a few months to pinpoint what I found weird about the game, but it was that. It is pretty though.

Paradox making a fantasy game would be an absolute disaster.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Paradox making a fantasy game would be an absolute disaster.

The GoT mod for CK2 was quite popular, even though it was a bit clunky (as those total conversion mods tend to be). If Paradox bought the license for a grand strategy set in Westeros, it could turn out decent.

 

[Fedora Master]

In a fantasy game they'd have an actual reason to have ruler mana.

They already tried with a Sci-Fi game and made Stellaris... and made it a 4X instead of a GSG.

Paradox making a fantasy game would be an absolute disaster.

Sovereignity: Crown of Kings was ok if boring and simple, a Paradox made game of this type could definitely work.

If anything, the GoT mod does almost everything better than vanilla CK2. Not sure why you think it's clunky. The only thing vanilla CK2 has on it is the sandboxy playstyle.

Paradox doing fantasy would just result in some generic trope shit like Stellaris.

 

[Xamenos]

Yeah, I'm not sure why people think current Paradox would be able to make a remotely good fantasy game.

The GoT mod was a mod, though mate. I'm talking about what Paradox would do.
