I would like Stellaris more if it used more than one CPU core.

stellaris should let me automate the things i dont care about, like distant worlds (or hoi3)

Unfortunately the mods to automate things in Stellaris dumpster the CPU.

He's trolling Groogy :ssh:

Here's a multiplayer game that's actually offloading its work to more than one core:



Saying "but it's hard!" isn't a good excuse to then go ahead and design the game in such a way that it can easily overwhelm even the strongest CPU in regular gameplay.

I mean Jesus gently caress who thought "Let's make every regiment come from a place and then when every soldier from that place is dead you have to disband the regiment and make a new one from somewhere else" was a good idea

How are you gonna tell me that HoI3 has poo poo mechanics when HoI4 does air and naval combat completely pants on head retardedly and land combat is a boring a-historical slog.


HoI3 - Use my army to defeat the other army with an overall strategy, taking into account variables like encirclements, weather, terrain. LIKE A WARGAME

HoI4 - Draw a line. Click a button. Win.

The HoI4 system actually sounds a lot more realistic than the older games.

But also the whole “no war crimes here, look at all the cool generals and tanks, oh have a bunch of free resources and land with no resistance because of course Prague dreams of the Reich!” HoI Germany turns me the gently caress off. It’s been nearly a decade since I played Hitler-Germany in HoI and I doubt I’ll start any time soon.

My hope with HoI4 is that it gets a tank equivalent of the ship designer and the nazi focus tree uses it to absolutely gently caress you over.
