Its nice seeing them start to focus on non-European nations more. Hopefully it isn't like in EU3 where my Pacific Japanese empire can be easily conquered by a small German nation from across the globe. Its also amusing to see nationalists whine that their very own special snowflake nation isn't getting attention.

It would be great if there was a rare event that reveals your ruler has OCD and gives a "pretty borders" cassus belli against a neighboring province.

What's happening with everyone's Portugal games is they are accepting the call to arms from England in the French war for Calais. England then gets its rear end kicked because it has no chance against France and in the peace deals gives away your Morrocan Provinces to Morroco. I think. Somebody might want to see if it happens with the "allies negotiate for you " box unchecked.

Ragg posted:As far as I can tell that's correct. New World trade's endpoint is Antwerpen. However, if you were to get a significant amount of power in the Seville trade node, you could steer it there. There's also a new world route that goes through the gold coast/Timbuktu and into Europe.

One thing I don't get about trade in my current Ottoman game is that there are about 10 different minor countries with about 1% trade power each even though I own every province in the Constantinople trade zone and they have no light ships patrolling in the area. How do they have any power in the trade node? This is pretty problematic because they are all pushing trade away from Constantinople. Edit: Im a dumb, they all have a merchant there providing a small amount of trade power.

Vaos posted:With their Unique National Idea that gives +33% Religious Unity, you can stop converting at some point as is it isn't that necessary when you reach 100%. No tax bonuses for other religions however. they also get an NI that gives them enough tolerance to heathans to push them to 0. Making it not really necessary to convert every province.

Mr. Peepers posted:There is a bit of a trade off, sort of. If you stay at low piety you get some bonuses (I think higher tax income might be one) at the cost of slower religious conversions and some other penalties. There are no penalties to being pious or not pious, only bonuses that are mutually exclusive. If you are not pious you get -10% research costs, 25% more tax income, and 25% more manpower . Pious you gain +3 missionary strength, +1.00 morale to army, and +50.00% fort defense. Being not Pious really helps with not falling behind tech-wise.

Nero is a guitar hero crossover. You use the power of fiddle-based rock to scorch Europe. Armstrong is a comet destruction game. You play a space station out in the ort cloud. A large wave of comets is approaching the solar system. If they get through, all hell will break loose on Earth. It is up to you and a few other intrepid astronauts to stop certain apocalypse.

The discipline bonuses for Mordor are pretty OP, but you get so much AE from taking provinces that by midgame everybody else is in a coalition against you and they keep spamming assassinations against me and once Sauron dies its game over.

The main problem gameplay wise isn't that the rest of the world lags behind in tech. It's that the rest of the world stands no chance militarily against the Europeans. Past a certain date, GB can just brute force conquer India and most European country can singlehandedly destroy every north American nation combined from across the ocean. I think making mil tech differences not matter so much and balancing units between tech groups would go a long way to making the rest of the world more competitive. As it is right now, 10k westerners can beat 100k native americans. Numbers, terrain, and generals should be more important than tech.

RagnarokAngel posted:That's kind of intended though. The point is historically Europeans did wipe out many other cultures singlehandedly (and this would continue up until the Victoria era and some might argue is still happening, just in a different way). Yes, the Europeans wiped out other cultures. No, they did not do it singlehandedly or by brute force. Both the Aztecs and Inca fell due to civil war and other native enemies. India was slowly conquered by the British who played the rajas against each other. The Iroquois league broke up in 1779 from internal problems due to the American Revolution. There were still Independent Indians east of the Mississippi by the end of the game's timeframe. Africa was not appreciabley colonized until Vicky's timeframe. Hell, The British were defeated at the hands of the Zulu, and they were using more advanced weaponry than is even in EU. Edit: There is a tipping point where, yes, the Europeans could and did just run over other countries. However, as it is right now Europeans can sail to America in 1492 and completely demolish every native there. The problem is the "tipping point" happens soon after the game starts rather than being the result of a couple hundred years of successful colonization/imperialism unwantedplatypus fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Feb 10, 2014 |

There's no inherent problem with having alien races, its just that most developers make them completely uninteresting and one-dimensional. In any given space game you have the industrious hivemind, the aggressive warrior race, the peaceful researchers, and the merchants. And, you know what, it wouldn't even be a problem that people always follow these tropes if they actually loving fleshed them out or gave them any personality or hell, made them truly alien rather than just cardboard caricatures of humanity.

Koramei posted:it's funny how you can judge stuff like the aesthetics of something when you have pictures of it Just like you can judge a painting by seeing a fragment of it? Here's an idea. Wait until you get to see all the different races before judging the "alien race aesthetic"? Normally you'd have a point but all we have are a handful of pictures.

One thing that caught my eye is that new factions will pop up as the game progresses, which could be very interesting. Also I hope to God they don't make us do tedious planetary management bullshir outside of like our first three colonies. Honestly though, a space game with diplomacy and POPs makes me so very happy. wait, remember the hint "7 and 3 are important numbers?" 7 races but 3 of what? Research paths?
