Haha, I haven't played EUIV in so long I don't recognize half the stuff in that shot.

Paradox games are like MMO's in that they keep adding features and changing mechanics, but you don't feel like you've wasted $60 if you put the game down and don't play for 1/2 a year.

I still remember when cruisers loaded with 6 flak batteries could mulch basically anything in the game since back then they were M-slot weapons with crazy tracking that also acted as point defense.

I did that once and this is like the third or fourth resource revamp. None were to this level before but special resources used to be pretty wild.

I have to admit I actually liked tiles (probably an nostalgia of Civ 2), but the new system is just so drat good and deep, that any issues I had are gone.

Zurai: Feb 13, 2012; Wait -- I haven't even voted in this game yet!

I've got the update downloaded but Steam refuses to install Megacorp itself.

EDIT: Nevermind, got it to work. I had to uncheck it in the Steam DLC window and then re-check it to get it to download.

Just bought the DLC to show my support for the death of tiles.

Wish I could play right now...

Between this, the newest (final?) CK2 DLC and the upcoming HOI4 DLC, this fall/winter has seen some great releases.

Only if they make Wiz do it while wearing the hat.

Edit: Post the tweet, I mean. Not actually copulate with a equine.

huh, according to r/stellaris if you use a planet cracker to crack a specialized world the game now treats it as a big global event, which is neat.

Dont change your food policy right off the bat. gently caress. -10 food and no way to build more less than a year in due to blockers. RIP that game.

Oh no, you need to be fanatical egalitarian to use Shared Burden?

That makes perfect sense and is reasonable on its own, but it also means I can't start out as fully automated communism and have sex with aliens later.

I really wanted to be xenophile and materialist egalitarians... Oh well.

It's literally day 1 of a major overhaul, turn off your mods and play vanilla for a game.

If you went through fanatical check your account, they don't send emails. If you went steam it'll just install. It's only the paradox store route you'll get emails.
