Seriously PDX I know you don't want to set off the Paradox Plaza tinfoil hat brigade like you did with Magna Mundi/EU4, but you gotta sack up and make a 20th century game to bridge Vicky to Stellaris.

You may call it an overreaction for me to feel this way simply because of the helleniophilic disposition of a few internet forum posters, but let me explain what all of this means to me. lol

BillBear posted:It's funny how people bring up space nazis to justify white only portraits but when in reality if we knew about other intelligent life forms capable of loving us up Nazis would switch from race to species in choice of targets. No, you don't understand. In order to accurate roleplay a Space Nazi you must let me choose whites only as my character portraits. Umgo Umbongo can't be in my government because of my immersion. Don't call me racist.

I'm pretty sure that I'm-not-a-nazi-but grogs make up a solid 20% of the HoI userbase soooo.... purging the Plaza might not do anything good for the Pdx bottom line. It would be the Correct thing to do, however.

Kavak posted:I've been reading each dev diary with Star Trek in mind and I will poo poo blood if I cannot make a multiracial portrait pack that unlocks new portraits as races join the Federation. Basically a very gradual and granular progression towards a diplomatic victory as opposed to the Civ style "Unite behind me as supreme leader" binary vote that either fails completely or wins you the game at one stroke.

Baronjutter posted:I'd be so happy if we could realistically just totally ignore planets and once we get off our homeworld and into space survive entirely in huge orbital habitats and asteroid mining. I think when you look at some of the influences they mentioned really early on you could see some Culture stuff there, and the Culture is an almost entirely ship-based civilisation, so it'd be odd if that wasn't an option for an ecologically minded society to go whole-hog space based. I hope they rip off Shellworlds too. Probably as a kind of extended event sequence that your scientists or explorers can get into - like CK2's event chains. e: I guess that link doesn't descibe them too well - they're artificial planets full of messed up defence systems that murder the poo poo out of anything that lands on them, but are full of ancient technology. The best theory being that they were part of a vast network of generators established millions of years ago to create an energy shield around the galaxy to stop  something

What the hell happened with Sengoku anyway? Even Rome got a decent expansion/update after a while but Sengoku just got dropped the minute it came out the chute. Cash-grab to tide them over while CK2 was in development?

Bel Monte posted:Using wikipedia for research also isn't that weird or bad. Paradox isn't the only one to use it regularly in a professional manner. It's a good resource and really the real reason it ever was seen as terrible is by college professors who didn't want you writing a summary of a summary. It would have been the equivalent of writing a summary of another students paper, or basing your paper on a single paragraph encyclopedia entry. Then it got marred by outrage and unwarranted fears about editing because it's new and scary and technology, OOooOOOoo! As somebody who works in history in a professional capacity where information accuracy is the most important criteria (archives) I can tell you authoritatively that any article on Wikipedia (outside of Great Man Big Battle articles - so the real bread and butter of history) is highly suspect and won't be accepted as authoritative. We've been burned numerous times in the past from people trying to use Wiki as a source and the information it has is just flat out wrong.

Koramei posted:e: I gotta be honest that I find this a bit concerning. I mean it's not like Paradox was ever pretending to be the paragon of historical accuracy, but especially with the runaway success of their recent games, hiring a consulting historian shouldn't be out of reach. I'm just saying is all.

Pinky knuckle left hand is january, indentation between it and left ring finger is february, ring finger is march, and so on. All knuckles are months with 31 days. Indentations are months with 30 or 28 for feb. Left hand index finger and right hand index finger, being adjacent, are july and august - both with 31 days.

Lmao if you didn't play SMAC by turning off directed research. Turn that off and you just get four "fields" to direct your science towards - Industry, war, ecology, or psychology (I think) and you could focus in as many as you like, then you'd draw random techs from the appropriate pot from time to time. Turn on "spoils of war" and you'd get random techs when you conquered enemy cities (to say nothing of probe teams stealing research and tech trading via diplomacy). It was a nice hands-off way to play, because manually navigating a tech tree is tedious as hell and inevitably means only one or two paths are really most efficient and you're at a distinct disadvantage if you don't follow them.

Tahirovic posted:It will be interesting to see how much of an advantage, if any, you get from designing ships on your own. If the AI is too good at it, why do it yourself? If the AI is too bad, you have to do it manually. Now I wonder what the colours between black and white will be. It seems to me that the benefit of having both systems is in very particular specialisation. I figure 90% of the time i'll be letting the comp design most of the stuff and only intervening when i really specifically want this particular class to have this kind of weapon or defence system to go up against a specific enemy, or specialise a particular starbase or whatever to best tailor it to local conditions that the computer can't possibly recognise. I like having both options.
