Yes, as long as youre cool with being a major power (or Poland) since they're the ones with the custom event/decision chains and stuff

warlock 1 and 2 are the same game, and they're both fine. they're sort of 'lite' civ 5s focused on combat, rather than having much in the way of research etc. they're fun to mess around in. i'd recommend either for like $10 or $15.

e: apparently warlock 2 is like $5 right now so yeah, if you haven't played the first one i'd say that's worth it.

I've only got a few hours in Warlock 2 but from what I played I agree with all this.

In 1.18's accompanying expansion, which has yet to be name-dropped, we will grant the 8 most powerful countries in the world a "Great Power" status, granting them bonuses, new diplomatic options and, perhaps most importantly, a glow around your shield to show that you are the superior nation.

Intervene in War– If there is an ongoing war between great powers but an imbalance in the number of GPs involved, you can make it your business to intervene. For example, if GP Britain is singlehandedly fighting GP France and GP Spain, you as a Great Power Commonwealth can intervene on Great Britain's side to balance out the number of great powers involved.

The game start Great Powers are Ming, France, Ottomans, Timurids, Mamluks, England, Lithuania, and Castile.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

intervening could be a cool idea but giving more bonuses to the top dogs feels wrong

Can't wait for even more poo poo large countries like the Ottos get to use to ruin fun, small starts along side the AI learning how to use Guarantee Independence on all your neighbors but not you. FTW.


Speaking of which, I want to know which dipshit decided Warn and Guarantee Independence needed to cost a diplo slot for the player, but not the AI. Those fuckers will warn 20+ countries if they have screwy borders.

fuckin lol

being able to intervene in wars is a really good idea, because the current enforce peace mechanics are completely worthless, but attaching it to a loving great power +1 to everything bonus? and basing it on total development? lmao

e: i can't get over the mamluks being a great power. it took the ottomans less than two years to conquer the entirety of the mamluk state. great power. loving lol. rofl. lmao.

one of the things they specifically mention as a reason for the change is to compensate for sufficiently large nations not being able to rival anyone. that was a problem that iirc people in this thread complained about, because it was dumb, so it'll be nice to have a fix for that!

i think adding a ton of new diplomatic actions is very dumb, and it's going to clutter up the game with more garbage, but it's not the end of the world.

BBJoey posted:

there's no +1 to everything modifier. the #1 great power gets +25 power projection (+1 max general); other great powers get somewhere between that and +10 pp, plus reduction to prestige decay. it gets you closer to the magic +50 power projection number, but it's not gonna do that by itself.

TheLovablePlutonis posted:

it's development total / tech cost %, and everyone in europe/asia starts at 100% tech costs now. if their new tech system works at all, the europeans will eventually get a big multiplier for great power purposes.
