Actually imperator was revamped and last update was really good.
I tried it based on posts like these, and it's a complete lie. Imperator is as shallow and shitty as ever, and there is no fun to be had.
It's not a lie,spent quite a few hours on it , its just it's not meeting your standard of quality. I relativize things its a lot better than caesar on amiga i was playing as a teen . Better than most other 4X i see on steam too .

You can make the same argument for every PDX game because they have a goddamn monopoly on GSG. Doesn't mean their games are of high quality.

You can cancel monument constructions in countries not belonging to you.

At this point i don't understand why people keep giving this shitty company another chance. All of their recent releases have been disastrous, and they clearly have no care or passion for what they do, just look at the state of stellaris and imperator rome, they abandoned the latter as soon as they realized it wont sell dlcs.

Imperator is good now though, one of their best games mechanically. And its DLC model is far better than any of the others'.

Cancel culture at its finest. Finally Paradox reveals its true colors.

Who's getting cancelled?

Shit DLC launch is shit, but g*mers are very good at sending torrents of abuse to the random devs who don't have control over when things are released instead of the suits that set these ludicrous deadlines to begin with.

started again with mongolia because i truly want to put china down.
1650.
they. didn't. even. had. one. single. rebellion.
even the best in their lifetime once or twice get their homeland dotted with rebels. not them. not even once. never distracted, always focused. constantly fielding 4, 5, 6 times my army which was the largest around. now i'm an empire (made the mistake to feed back to vassal korea their provinces. everyone and his dog is supporting indipendence) but china passed all the empire thingies and will ever taken down only by western tech.

Stop being bad lol.

EDIT: Ming is completely broken on current patch and keeps releasing vassals only to re-integrate them. Not sure if you're playing the current shitfest or the old version. Either way it shouldn't be that hard. Just trigger this https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Unguarded_Nomadic_Frontier. This will nuke their mandate and ontop of that give -15% morale.

Containment threads are a time-honored tradition of the Paradox forum. Force people to file complains in a thread that nobody from the team reads and ban all those who try to do it elsewhere. Performance megathread on Stellaris sub-forum is now several years old and last time I checked it still had no posts from any of the developers.

I think it's a hot mess. Though I don't think it's helpful to have a million threads about the same stuff essentially, esp. given some people would just endlessly make more threads if given the chance. I don't really buy the narrative that they're doing it to "contain" or ignore stuff, because they were replying to things when I looked. Bjorn or whatever his name is has been very active.

Are you disinheriting the potato heir at the beginning? For a poor nation without institutions, monarch power matters so much more than prestige.

Lol what a dumpster. Thats what happens when there's no competition. They push further and further with releasing buggy mess. Dharma, Emperor and now this. Gradually worse and worse. What's next? Releasing CRUD code, so users can finish the game for themselves? :lol:

You shouldn't wait for rebellions you should wait for them to pass reforms and then attack, that will cause rebellions.

that will also cause kicks to my teeth. in the beginning my economy can't sustain forts, thus no burned land strategy. it can barely pay for troops, which are nowhere near enough to withstand a single attack, and even if they don't onepunch me, they go for the carpet bombing which is even worse. the only available ally is uzbeks, as useful as an asshole on an elbow. korea is as tiny as me, japan seems to be almost hardcoded to hate me and besides it's as much as dead meat.
either there's a very specific sequence and concomitance of events or i just can't see a way to win against ming in medieval times without abusing every possible exploit.

As we already talked about it in here,china is broken. Some times it just doesn't get rebel progress because it is bugged,sometimes just releases shit.

It is no fucking wonder that their game are such a mess when they can't read/write. Fuck hey even wrote it right the first time then fucked it up,amazing.
:positive:


Also they hit the 8% in the reviews,if they try a bit more,they could make the last worst game on steam have double score compared to them.
