Maybe add to the OP that (for Gamersgate at least - I don't have a steam version) you download and activate CK2 DLC from within the game. You don't download it from Gamersgate. I spent a while trying to figure out why my DLC was not appearing because of that.

I thought after TFH there would be a bunch of custom game setup saves people would be releasing as mini-mods for others to start off with. Are there any?

Maybe something like the original Rainbow Six or the old Close Combat series, only with more detailed individual soldier stats and stuff. *Pvt Richard 'Boozenickels' Antwerpson has been feeling scared lately. He has complained about the 'drat nazis' lately. He has been shot at lately and has a flesh wound in his left calf muscle. He likes drinking 'American Ale'.

Graham Gremlin posted:There's three factions, the eunuchs, the temple and the bureaucrats and depending who has the most influence in court you can't do certain things. For example you can only declare war if the temple faction is in charge and you can only send colonists if the eunuchs are in charge. Has there been any word on if this is going to be in EU4? I sincerely hope not, or at least I hope they do something to make it interesting to play, like letting you do missions for each faction even if that faction is not in power. Some kind of agency in changing factions rather than just waiting for a bar to fill up would go a long way.

gradenko_2000 posted:EDIT: Just to throw more love at Heart of Darkness, I think lifting the "crisis" system from Pride of Nations is a stroke of genius, especially if they can trigger dynamically rather than as scripted events. I can't wait to see the kinds of conflicts nations will be drawn into over it. Agreed, PoN was chock full of great ideas with poor execution, good to see some of them being fleshed out. Although it would have been even better if they had redone the horrible confusing card game interface from PoN and made it a straight up CCG mini-game.

I'm kind of intrigued by the genre (both in EU3, now that I've tried some modded scenarios, and in general) but it seems like most of them are basically "What if Hitler/Churchill/Stalin got hit by a bus/had never been born/autoerotically asphyxiated himself?". I'd like to see some that are actually well thought-out (and I'd loving love it if they didn't involve either of the World Wars in some way). There's always Churchill's own article If Lee had not won the battle of Gettysburg

On the topic of barbarian migration games - Jon Shafer has left Stardock, started his own company, and started a kickstarter for Jon Shafer's At the Gates. A game focused on barbarian migration!

Shafer has an interview with Tom Chick on Qt3 this week and he talks about all the barbarian tribes being different - some like the Huns can't even own non-movable possessions like farms - and the Romans are unplayable. But they slowly decline through battles between the Eastern and Western emperors, or having child emperors etc, and you have to pick your time when to attack them. Although that means you don't get any more tech off them either. Sounds really cool.

What's the deal with Napoleonic games with pictures of Napoleon that don't look anything like him? Seriously? Is there some kind of weird Napoleonic copyright going on that you can't actually have an accurate artistic representation of the guy?

Pakled posted:It's an issue of personal taste, but I'd prefer a game more focused on politics and diplomacy to model the Cold War. The map isn't really big enough to satisfactorily model most conflicts during that era down to the level that I think they'd demand in a war sim, so I'd prefer it if they abstracted military matters a bit more, like in Vicky, and focused more on soft power, because right now the game's looking like AoD with a lot of downtime between conflicts. If it can model 'Nixon goes to China' where you can open back door channels and have choices to do things like 'drawdown troops from Taiwan' for example to boost a target nation's favourability, and then as a result of that the target country will distance itself from an old alliance to be more favourable to you, then the game will be an unqualified success.

brocretin posted:I've just started playing EUIII, and I'm having one hell of a time trying to keep any sort of balanced budget. It seems like I'm always in a downward spiral of debt and eventual bankruptcy due to loan payments. Can anyone clue me in on the basics? I'm rather new to Paradox games and my only substantial experience is with CKII, so I haven't the faintest what I'm really doing here. A bit of advice about how the $ works would be lovely. Try to avoid loans (or more than one at a time) in the early game. That cash injection seems awesome, and the payments are so small and it's not due for ages, but don't be fooled, it is a real bastard. Have short splurges of inflation instead and don't freak if it gets up to 10% or 15%. Just make sure you get the Bank as an early NI and you can start reducing inflation again gradually. PROTIP: If you have the 'you're going to be broke at the end of the year' message, wait until December to jack your minting up far enough to get into positive territory. On 1 January move minting back down again. Better to get a small inflation hit for one month than be forced to take out a loan. If your stability is negative, focus on getting it back to +3 asap. That will bring in more $. Don't waste money auto-sending merchants. If you're scraping for cash, that can be a real hit.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I never even got the point that I could decide they were overreaching, my eyes just slid of the page trying to read it. quote:Your story begins in 1946, in a world recovering from the horrors of World War 2. In politics, as in nature, there are many plants that take advantage of wildfires to grow out of the ashes into new, wider spaces. Quickly seeds and ideas take root in the purging flames, and blossom following the devastation. Ash and decay rapidly turns into a fauna of diversity but also one of tense competition. Will you be able to adapt and take control or will you just be another witness to a freshly burning world? Nothing like adverbs, mixed tenses and awkward metaphors to clearly and concisely explain a new game.

Protesting the view 'men are the standard, women are the deviation from the standard' is what feminism is all about. It's offensive.

Speaking of horrible Paradox games, has anyone played Communist China in Iron Cross? Apparently it has a unique Long March event chain which I would like to check out. But, well, you know, it's Iron Cross. I was quite disappointed with Darkest Hour since it has the CCP starting off in Yan'an in 1933.
