vyelkin posted:I want a space game that is basically 90% ship design. Rule The Waves in space. All you do is design ships and smash them against alien ships. No politics, no colonization, no economy, no planet management. That can all happen in the background as your race expands but you are the grand admiral and it's your job to keep humanity safe against the Bug Menace by designing the biggest baddest ships that just so happen to be built by your nephew's shipyard even though your nephew doesn't know how to connect a warp drive to an engineering section or w/e. Gratuitous Space Battles is that sort of game (though I personally don't like it anywhere near as much as RTW).

I think the one game that does automation well is... CK2 --- since it basically replaces manages something with interacting with a character.

Agean90 posted:pretty sure your thinking of the fugitive slave act and all the crap from before the civil war. During the war slaves were kept in union territory (property confiscation you see) until the Emancipation proclamation was signed, where in the new freedmen could just do whatever. The Emancipation Proclamation didn't extend to slaves in the union territory (the XIIIth Amendment did), including parts of Traitor States which have by then been brought under control.

double nine posted:that entirely depends on the implementation. For example, I agree that the randomly spawned nations in Stellaris have no staying power and lack personality because they're literally a random die roll. I think the problem with that sort of approach is that there are often very few factions. I don't think too many people have created fantasy settings with anywhere near as many different tags as EU4 has.

Zeron posted:Maybe I'm just sad that we're not getting Vicky 3 yet, but I'm really not a fan of the new Rome interface. It looks like they were trying to go for a classic but updated look, but it just comes across as old and dated to me. Same with the actual zoomed out map. I am kinda with you, since when people first posted screenshots, I wasn't sure whether they were posting the new game or original EU: Rome...

Fister Roboto posted:Spending money on buildings has greater implications, yes, but the actual building system does not. The building system could be replaced entirely by two buttons that say "spend 100 ducats to increase your income by 0.1" and "spend 100 ducats to increase your manpower by 100" and literally nothing would change. Hence the cookie clicker comparison. That's not quite the case due to limited slots and tell development system.

idhrendur posted:They've mentioned before that they hadn't moved away from 32-bit before because 64-bit gave no gains for what they do. A lot of software ends up using more memory for same amount of data on 64-bit because of the larger pointers. So if something is using 3GiB of data in 32-bits it may end up using 4.5GiB in 64-bit, and suddenly the person with an old machine with 4GiB free is in for really bad time. Of course if you need to store/can take advantage of more than 4 gig things change dramatically.

Raskolnikov38 posted:the full and total purges were the only thing keeping the USSR from falling into a civil war in hoi4. the game punishes you for not going full stalin Also isn't it the only way of getting the last research slot? Who knew that sending scientists to do manual labor in Siberia (if not outright shooting them) was a key to productive research! When they redesign it, IMHO it should be a more extreme version of that partier-king national idea in Romania. Just have Stalin randomly screw the country over. Start with an almost-researched Deep Battle tree and have it revert to 1-tech in Mass Assault. Have division randomly lose XP until they are all green, etc.

Zohar posted:I agree with you, but I still think it's more basic -- like I do play shattered world on CK2 on the reg and you can still get neat emergent narratives just from the gameplay much more frequently than with Stellaris. Obviously CK2 is a character-focused game etc but it's also partly because it just has a lot more flavour and different religions/governments feel more different to play One thing I think works really well in EU4 that Stellaris is missing is the combination of religion + culture as a factor + things like latent cores with the huge number of countries of different sizes, which gives some interesting choices as to who you ally with. The diplomatic situation is also a lot more dynamic, with alliances shifting periodically. In Stellaris you kinda form blocks based on ideology and they're very stable unless you feel like backstabbing.
