Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:That guy really doesn't like CK2+. It's not one guy's opinion, it's pretty much the collected opinion of the threads. I think the CK2+ part was put in when Wiz wasn't updating much and Prince and the Thane/Balansegang were doing really interesting stuff.

DrSunshine posted:What?? How do you even make a very abstracted grand strategy game like Sengoku or any other Paradox game into a hentai game? Games with 3-d models I can imagine, like all those perverted mods for Skyrim and such, but this is just silly! Sengoku Rance is basically a combination between a SPRG and a visual novel. It's far from being a 'Rape Simulator', stop sounding like Fox News  It's full of porn because that's how japanese doujin games work.

nothing to seehere posted:Also, should I start with any mods or learn vanilla first? New Nations Mod doesn't really alter game balance, it just adds some nice stuff. Other than that, the only mod I really like is /vg/'s Napoleon's Legacy mod, pictured below. Divergences used to be the cool thing for base vicky, not sure about the AHD port. APD makes Vicky significantly easier with its changes to the economy, but it's also an enjoyable experience, though maybe only after you learn the game.

podcat posted:Not to hate, but it seems to me that many of you guys are dissing Sengoku without actually playing it. Its not as deep as our other games but a few playthroughs are fun if you like war. I don't think it deserves the reputation it has on these forums. I feel like it's a game with a niche targeting that did its job: beta some concepts for CK2 and fund its development. It clearly worked, because CK2 was your best game ever on release  There's just not really that much reason to play it these days - of course, if it's free it's a different story. Has the pricing/release date for HoD been announced yet? Or is it just Q1 2013, ??? dollars?

Hearts of Napoleon trip report: It's very, very fun! So far the only counterintuitive thing seems to be sending your men into a meatgrinder actually boosts your research speed. I think it's so nations that are losing can catch up, but... It does have that magical paradox balance, where you're going to be incredibly bored if you have to fight Great Britain, and accomplish nothing of note. I was playing as Spain, and got called into the franco-english war (which, by the way, has been going on NONSTOP from game start.) Took Gibraltar, beat up some of their alies, the usual... and still only have 0% war score. Yeah. On the bright side, France ate almost all of Two Sicilies, which allowed me to pick up Sardinia from Piedmont and about half of Sicily from Sicily. Now I just need to figure out how to get out of this war so I can backstab the poo poo out of Napoleon and win the game.

How do you deal with the UK in MoTE? The wooden wall strategy pretty much means you can't touch them, other than maybe gibraltar/malta, and they don't seem to want to peace out with me. I think I'm just gonna start as a more central nation like Prussia now that I've figured out the game a bit.

Don't let that slow down your criticism of first draft text in a beta screenshot by non-native English speakers though. I mean, who could seriously complain about "Capitalists builds a factroy"?  e: seconding the MoTE text being amazing, it's pretty much THE best innovation in that game.

Darkrenown posted:What effect, beyond a growing sense of horror in the player, would this have on the game though? Did people in Britain overthrow the government in disgust? Did the other Great powers band together to end the UK's reign of terror? Was it even a political or international issue? Is there any benefit at all to adding a "Starve the Indians" decision granting 5000 grain in your stockpiles, -25% indian pop growth, and a popup saying you are a terrible person (or "YOU are the Heart of Darkness!")? I'm not sure why you bring it up. Even if there WAS such a benefit, I feel like it's the realm of things that can be done by the modding community. With one as active as paradox's, I think it'd be pretty reasonable for a 'realistic' mod to show up eventually. Victoria 2 : The Line, I guess.

Darkrenown posted:I hadn't even heard Nintendo had done anything, but then again I had nothing to do with this either. As far as I know, a while back some VLP makers asked about making money from their Youtube videos and/or Youtube starting removing some, so Publishing thought about it for a bit and decided to hand out a general pass. Here's the announcement thread if you;d like to read it: Yeah I found it on one of the RPS guys' twitters, probably as a response to the whole Nintendo thing.

Oh my god Wiz, I love you. I'm throwing my wallet at amazon right now. Has there been any info on what kind of DLC is planned in future? I assume it's a CK2 system where you have smaller modular DLCs instead of an expansion, but will they be focused on expanding the range of playable nations or improving play quality/depth for already playable ones?

pdxjohan posted:Links? I just find it funny if people complain getting items worth 57€ (yes, i know ck2 has been on sale before) for free when buying something for 40€. I'd honestly understand if this was a case like the recent Brave New World debacle where they gave copies of vanilla Civ IV to people who had preordered it, but CK2 is a fantastic game without any DLC. If this was Vicky 2, HoI3 or even EU3 without their expansions, they might have had a point. Really, if you're playing an european leader, as I'm sure most people are, you only really need Legacy of Rome, because retinues are very powerful. Other than that, it's just optional content by anyone's definition.
