I recently (once again) started up with Vicky 2 and remembered how much I love it. But after playing with the NNM mod for quite some time I am looking for something new. Is the gsg/vickymod any good?

Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.

Alexander should just have a random chance of attacking China, either through Central Asia, or up from India.

Every game has a slight chance of Mesoamericans landing on the east coast. They call it the Sunrise Invasion.

Oh man I just remembered that after the HoI4 delays Johan swore they would stop announcing games unless they're already in alpha, so Augustus will be closer to release than you'd think.

(Until it gets delayed anyway. Thanks Hofstadter's law.)

I'll chuckle if it comes out before HOI4.

Enjoy

I want a Rome with a converter to CK2 with a converter to EU4 and for Groogy to maintain them all and have the conversion process scan my brain to make sure my personal narrative is accurately translated.

You know, come to think of it, "There is no stabbing of pigs" MIGHT mean a revamp of EU Rome's stability mechanic...or else it might mean "No, the game isn't EU Rome 2 with its pig stabs, we already said it's not a sequel, stop guessing that."

It'd be mechanically more interesting if you interacted with most of the mechanics. Victoria 2 has a huge problem with having neat, complicated mechanics which are too obtuse or only vaguely interacted with on the player layer. Furthermore the political system is absolutely terrible from a gameplay perspective.

I actually like that the market could only be influenced, not controlled. Changing that guts the game. The politics could use a overhaul tho.

Instead of barometric pressure and temperature tracked per map space, astronomical alignment will be tracked and compounded with terrain for use in battle feng shui calculations.

Everyone in that thread is trying to figure out what time period terrain really mattered in, but I think from that hint it's pretty clear the game won't be a grand strategy game. If I had to guess now, it's going to be another attempt at a Runemaster sort of thing. Maybe even reusing a lot of the same code, since they clearly put excessive amounts of work into it before realizing "oops it isn't fun".

I thought exactly the opposite. Terrain is super important in space because you can only colonize planets. :v:

I'm guessing it's a Roman-era game, it's just "a new IP" because EU:Rome was part of the Europa Universalis IP. So it's EU:Rome 2 in all but name.

The original Duke Nukem 3D was a huge hit in 1996, but it took 7 years from Duke Nukem Forever's first trailer in 2007 until it's release in 2014. Duke doesn't stab pigs, he uses his mighty foot for melee. Paradox have acquired the Duke Nukem IP and are excited to announce their first foray into the Duke Nukem universe. "Terrain truly matters" means it's gonna be a cover shooter.

Don't be ridiculous. Paradox would never deliberately troll fans about the possibility of Rome 2.

I dont know what to think of the teasers but I am praying for a space game. If it were not for the "three and seven are important" or whatever I would be inclined to think spacegame, but it is probably Roman related.

2011 actually, so four years. Which is still a long time but I feel not unprecedented.

Hoping for Civilisation: Paradox Edition.

For a minimum of three and a maximum of seven players, terrain is important since it determines tile yields, and pigs were dropped from the game to save time.
