This shit isn't worth $30. It's worth at most $15. I foresee Pdox's shares tumbling again with another failed DLC launch. This makes what 4 or 5 DLCs in a row that failed? Good riddance to a shitty ass company.

You really underestimate paradrones and also their tranny consumers.

Not really because the reviews on Steam are brutal for the dlc like it was for the base game.

Paradox only cares about reviews if it is reflected in sales, and considering the legions of losers who eat shit from Paradox every game and DLC they probably made bank.

What this game needs is an expansion or a mod that completely overhauls the combat and conquest mechanics. Paradox keeps insisting on the Sims medieval approach to the game, in the hope it gets them sales trough influencers roleplaying incest characters, but the core mechanics of conquest and war are completely forgotten and broken.

It's still "paradox combat" but Imperator's warfare has elements that are way more interesting than CK3's or EU4's.



Weird they don't think to borrow the line width and tactics stuff at least.

Some people clearly aren't reading my shilling blog posts about making conquest and war cool. You have no one to blame but yourself.

I find Imperator to be their most well designed game at the current time or more accurately the game that is least shitty and moving to the right direction. Unfortunately it's dead since early 2021. Hope the people that were cleaning Johan's mess are put to good use.

If Imperator 2.0 was what they initially put out and we had had a solid 3-4 years of DLC on it it would easily be the best Paradox game. Instead they strangled it in the crib right when there was some hope for it.

Been playing but I bamboozled myself by playing a damn dirty pagan since I love raiding too much, and tribals don't get royal courts so I've got a long while before I get to reforming and changing government and shit. Having an enjoyable time but playing a tribal means practically the only thing the expansion adds is artifacts. Could see being pissed if you paid for the expansion but if you take the approach of buying the base game and then not removing all Paradox DLC everything's peachy. Prolly should've started a game where I'd get to play with the court but I didn't realize tribals couldn't dick with that until I'd already started and I was already having fun, so eh.

My genius wife who adores me and has no negative traits just suddenly decided to go on a murder spree in my court. And shit like that isn't unusual, it happens constantly. Fuck this.
