Europa Universalis IV

[Delterius]

The Cossacks.

Personally, I'm really enjoying the tweaks to mercenary recruitment and internal politics. I'm also really happy to see that they want to further improve the colonial system. Maybe one day independence wars won't be about centralized States of the New World declaring war on their motherland.

 

[janior]

It's sad that im too dumb for playing this

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

holy. fucking. shit.
i did the 1k provinces achievement and took a break. i came back to do the 1m manpower and my saved game is now incompatible. lost forever.
no way i'm doing that again.

And maybe one day shipping 100k soldiers overseas is a plain ludicrous notion.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Ugh, don't remind me why I stopped playing this.

 

[MoLAoS]

Well, as soon as Bernie Sanders becomes president I can finish working on my game full time and then no more shitty Paradox bullshit.

 

[Irenaeus II]

I see you are a fan of alternate history. In particular, apocalyptic. Sign me up, sounds fun.

 

[Makabb]

Next paid patch releasing today.

time spent playing paradox games (mostly eu2) 1000+ hours, time spent on yours 0. you have your work cut-out for you.

Paradox problem right now isn't really a design issue. It is that they have saturated their own market as all their games are very similar and therefore buying a EU VII is not that appealing to someone that played the previous installations. I simply grown tired of their games, have I not played the previous EU and just now bought EUIV, then I would have been forsaken all work just to play it.

Next paid patch releasing today.

and then of course we have this thing. There is little reason to buy their games until you can get a package deal. Compared to when Johan on his free time patched and improved the games for years.

hi johan

 

[Irenaeus II]

Why would Johan say there's little reason to buy his games until you can get a package deal?

hi johan

Hi Makabb, just wanted to tell you my last name is not Andersson.

 

[Luzur]

YEEEEAAHHH

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

The suspicions I had when one of the songs in Heroes was titled "Hearts of Iron" have been confirmed.

Shit I've played them way more than you, then. Paradox does have a design issue, you just don't know it because they have little competition. Its like not having had access to cinnamon and thinking french toast is fine with just powdered sugar. You don't even know what you are missing.

 

[Makabb]

Released, how is it?

I would be impressed/worried if you done that. i dont have any real figure, but EU2 alone was played loads. It was great.

I think if anything Civ-like games are the ones with design problems, they all just have the same design. with some doing it more retardedly than others.

 

[MoLAoS]

Well Steam tells me I have about 4000 hours with Paradox games. However a lot of that is me leaving the game open when I sleep or go to work. So I can't be sure. I know I've played lots of games for hundreds of hours.

I'm not going to defend Civ. That doesn't make Paradox good. Just the Hillary Clinton of 4x games. Civ is Jeb!.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Civ5 maybe, Civ4 is Trump.

 

[Delterius]

Civ2 is FDR.

 

[Jimmious]

Trump means what? How does "retarded capitalist scum" apply to a game in comparison?

 

[Irenaeus II]

Trump means Savior of the White Race from the International Jew Manace.

 

[Jimmious]

Yeah that's exactly what I said

 

[Renegen]

Started a new game as the Mameluks and I thought that in order to compete with the Ottomans I had to build a bigger navy and control the Constantinople straight. Well it turns out with this new patch or something, blockading the straight does NOT prevent the Ottomans from sending soldiers over the 2 continents, all that strategy and some bs change sinks it. Ragequit.
