Panzeh posted:I don't understand why everyone remakes MoO2 as opposed to MoO1 which felt less bloated in a lot of ways. The ability to put individual buildings all over your empire, instead of assigning spending priorities by slider, sounds like a great feature until it turns into micromanagement hell. I agree MoO1 feels less bloated, and much more its own game rather than sci-fi-skinned Civilization.

Lance of Llanwyln posted:I like that he can end up psuedo-fascist. An otherwise decent man losing his way due to anti-syndie(red) paranoia is quite believable. Basically, Long sees himself as the only one who can protect The American Way(TM) from the Red Menace. His atrocities and crackdowns are justified(to himself) because it's the only way to win. That kind of tension(Long's fairly leftist goals vs. The need to win the ACW at any cost) makes for a more interesting experience, IMO. Quite accurate based on all observed accounts of Huey Long in our timeline as well. Authoritarian in support of collectivist* goals is about right. *Mostly to tweak the stellaris thread but the railroads had to be broken to achieve any benefits for the majority of Louisianans.

corn in the bible posted:is there even a point to the religion stuff in vicky 2 though, it never seemed to do anything at all No real point but I believe it influences how POPs vote (that is, I think non-state religion POPs will try to avoid the moralism and pluralism parties). Also I think there are some events tied to minority religions, as well as some specific Christianity stuff in Asia.

Wiz posted:Honestly, the one I find most bizarre where people are complaining about dumbing down/lack of depth/cut content is HOI4. HOI4 has basically every feature worth anything from previous HOI titles and then some. What exactly was cut besides 3 hours of micromanaging OOBs at the start of any game? The Fading Sun event which allowed a Chinese winning end to the Sino-Japanese War without having to invade the home islands.

The Cheshire Cat posted:There is a minimum organization requirement to be allowed to attack (10-20%? I forget the exact number. You can't even manually order an attack below that threshold), even if the "attack" is on unoccupied territory, so they might just be waiting for that. I've seen this happen in Africa and parts of SE Asia.

spectralent posted:So money woes aside I've now taken over a bunch of asia and westernised. The "RP for invading people" thing combined with all the free research boosts for allowing the west access to the country meant I was able to do it pretty quickly (as an aside, what's that meant to represent?), and now I have a budget of something like 4k, though my army of proper soldiers is accordingly pricier too. My army size is insane; something like 300 brigades? I'm barely using a third of it and have the world's most powerful military by miles. No clue what that RP for invading people is meant to represent - it was added in the last expansion, Heart of Darkness - but to be honest Westernization in this time period is a pretty hit or miss affair. Japan was the only country to Westernize in the Victoria time period, and they already have events for that. So I think the entire mechanic is to give a player a faster path to Westernization, with no real justification. How long did it take you to Westernize - my record is August 8, 1858?

Koramei posted:They've already mentioned they regret the name, but at this point it's Paradox's most famous game by far right? I doubt they'd want to just lose all that brand awareness. My memory of what Johan has said is that it's Hearts of Iron, Europa Universalis, and then Crusader Kings. I could have HOI and EU reversed but it's definitely those 2 before anything else.

Phlegmish posted:Think I made the right choice in going for Endless Space 2, goons aren't wild about Stellaris. I have approximately a zillion hours in Stellaris and it’s my favorite paradox game now, but I admit that’s partly because I fell behind on EU4 and CK2 dlc. What I’m saying is I clearly have to buy endless space 2.

It also has the "Paradox game with imminent DLC" problem that at least some people don't want to play it until the next thing hits.

Drone posted:He also claimed that by Paradox offically licensing out the Clausewitz engine for use in Magna Mundi that it actually meant that he literally owned Clausewitz. Shortly thereafter he was committed to an asylum or something by his family. Yup. (not my translation, but from a Portuguese denizen of another forum at the time) quote:Carlos Rodrigues [Gustavo, which you know as Ubik of Magna Mundi], the programmer that was forcibly committed during 71 days under the Mental Health Act, has decided to sue five of the doctors that were involved in several stages of his clinical process. The first criminal complaint was filed at the Oeiras Court on September 22nd. This is not the first time that compulsively committed people appeal to the courts against this kind of decision. The relatives, who ordered the commitment, defend that Carlos suffers from "delirious disturbances" and that doesn't want to treat himself.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:MoO2 had hyperlanes? Yeah, but only to limited extents. A hyperlane took you from arbitrary system A to arbitrary system B (or B to A) in 1 turn, while normally you would only move X parsecs per turn based on your engine tech. You'd normally find 0-5 of these in a playthrough depending on map size and settings.
