Gorgo's probably not going to update it (he barely plays Paradox games anymore), so someone will likely have to step up and make a new OP if you want a new thread. Can probably leave EU3 and such out of this time around.

He did say this about a month ago.Gorgo Primus posted:Don't worry, I plan to retire this thread and put out a nice clean new one with a fully updated OP sometime in the next few weeks. So either he's dropped that plan or is still in the mode of getting it ready.

Should probably wait until Stellaris/HOI4 hit. The thread's lasted long enough, another six months to a year isn't going to hurt. ... I'm going to have those games inside a year right

The War Goals and Peace stuff is actually one of the few generalised things which I think is nicer in V2 than EUIV. The tension and great war stuff is also good but of course more V2 period specific. But yeah the influence system is more like the old EUIV Papacy system style busywork and is more irritating since it is core to so much of the gameplay.

It's no Steppe Wolf, but someone has made a workshop mod attempting again to extend the EU4 timeline from 1AD to the modern age. Decided to boot up a game in the far future to to see what would happen (things stop changing at 2015 so for all intents and purposes starting in 2532 is the same as starting then):   Thanks Stadtholder Obama. Took you long enough...

The text is weird, but its part of a bunch of back-loading price change events for goods based on historical trends, which seems like a good idea to me. He seems to have forgotten to turn off the Religious League events after the 30 Years War, though.

Vodos posted:I can't recommend it. The trade aspect is fine, it's Patrician/Port Royale but with land trade routes instead of ships. You can build new cities pretty much anywhere on the map, the location decides what resources you have access to for production. City growth is strictly tied to the number of businesses you have, which is a bit weird. As the city population grows, its influence area grows and your influence is what progresses you through the trader ranks instead of wealth/cargo space. Each rank increases your unit limit and gives you 3 points to spend in the tech tree. Tech is used to unlock new or improved production, infrastructure and units. To add to this the trading can gently caress up too, automated traders make really lovely choices and it seems kinda hard to make enough profit to maintain an army. They should probably decouple city growth from the amount of industry and make traders a bit smarter. Game could be really cool but does need a patch/expansion. That said I started 3 games over the weekend and in my last I did manage to own all of Italy and have a nice 6mil war chest, it wasn't enough to conquer Paris because of said dumb siege AI. Maybe instead of Vicky 3 Paradox should make an EU4 expansion called Victoria, it adds the industry aspect to EU4 and extends the end date. Extending the end date and expanding the revolution mechanics could be really cool. The Industry part would expand on trade and give you more things to do during peace time and give you incentives to conquer certain areas for resources.

Civilization-style bonuses from just possessing resources instead of having to dominate trade over them would make me buy an expansion in an instant.

Imagine if you'd actually need access to iron, be it via production or trade to build cannons. Now imagine a game that runs slower than Vicky2 with NNM.

Didn't HOI3 have this (and I think HOI4 might too?) in the form of strategic resources? I remember Canada, for whatever reason my most-played nation in the HoI series, having Tungsten & Uranium which gave them bonuses to tanks and nuclear research or something like that.

I'll get to work on a new OP (no need to wait 6 mos for Stellaris/HOI4 and I'll include them anyway)

Canada rules in all HoIs because they're the USA but not in super easy baby mode.

The Germans were so undermanned down there that I was the one who beat the Russians to Berlin by advancing north. A big pink Canadian salient that ran along a north/south axis through Central Europe right between the Western Allies and the Russians. I ended the war with like Greece, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Austria, and Czech all puppets of Canada. It was amazing. Even when I play as the UK I always take direct control of the Canadian army and use them in a pretty significant role. In my last UK game in DH, the Canadians held the Pyrenees together with allied Republican Spain against the Germans while the British and Rest Of Commonwealth armies advanced up the Italian boot.

Tahirovic posted:Imagine if you'd actually need access to iron, be it via production or trade to build cannons. Now imagine a game that runs slower than Vicky2 with NNM.  Many cannons were actually made of bronze, because (among other reasons) bronze is more flexible and thus less prone to bursting apart without warning. Cast iron cannons were popular not because they were superior but because they were much cheaper (both in initial price as well as in longevity; bronze cannons wore out faster).

And Mackenzie King stares back at me from the politics screen the whole game.
