Drone posted:those precious few seconds are really going to hurt my APM in a pauseable game Multiplayer  e: in seriousness watching the WWW between Germany and Britain eventually Germany's sheer size meant the player was missing bad things happening to him in quite a few places, where the British player had fewer things to focus on. Minimaps are good.

podcat posted:Its not needed for a few reasons: I'm just coming from having played a lot of EU IV MP where the challenges are similar (but presumably less?) and being able to jump around with a click is what's important: I suppose we'll see how this pans out but you have certainly listed a lot of other ways to do that than a minimap so if they work well it could be fine?

Over at MapGoons, this happened: It was great but everyone has become a burning husk of death. Good times. If you want to join the next EUIV multiplayer clusterfuck, signups are over here. Don't be afraid if you haven't played before! You will quickly learn that we are all, in fact, terrible.

Fister Roboto posted:Purple is obviously Malaya, dark green is Kilwa, light green is some Nubian country? Lavender looks like Shu, white is a daimyo (Uesugi?), pink I want to say is Livonian Order but I'm probably wrong, and I have no idea what puke green or red are. Quite close. Players at game end were Wu, Shu, Uesugi, Malaya, Bharat, Mewar, PLC, Kilwa. I think we started with twenty five?

As always Paradox games become good if you play multiplayer and just ignore the AI entirely Exceptions for Stellaris, whose MP is exactly as stale as SP, and CKII, which would be good if it worked

Kaza42 posted:I've been playing a multiplayer CK2 game that's lasted about 300 years (started in 867). We've had 5-9 players and been able to stay at speed 2 nearly all the time with only one session having significant crashed (due to a local file corruption). How many players are you trying that you're stuck on speed 1? Apparently, too many! Peaked at about fifteen, I think.

Yeah it's awful design. KR4 is an absolute masterclass in terrible modding decisions, Apres Moi is the KR we deserve. One focus tree for all nations, with variants! Same effect as KR but a)far quicker to make b) far easier to balance c) not completely nuts

Also Wiz made a mod (for the LP?) that made it substantially more fun, so if you get it on a sale or something to see what the fuss is about don't even bother playing vanilla.

Drone posted:I always get the feeling that Kaiserreich is a good concept executed by a team that couldn't gamedesign their way out of a wet paper bag. c/d? Because every nation is done by a different person they all end up being power fantasy nonsense with no collective balancing or quality control. Sone focus trees are over in three years, some in twenty. People wander off from the mod and their work is never picked up. Overheard at the KR stall: 'China is really exciting, we've been working on it for four years now'

Beamed posted:Unpopular Opinion Time: The player shouldn't be responsible for micromanaging the armies anyway, those should be a result of your government, your POPs, and your military doctrine. Disloyal generals thus become a huge systemic problem you need to work towards resolving, rather than something you just micro away from being a thing. Don't @ me. You can only communicate with generals via horse messengers that have to path from your capital to their (last known) location, except there's fog of war and also sometimes your messengers don't make it through which you only realise when your general ignores his orders, except he did get them and is rebelling

What everybody loved about Victoria is the jank and the weirdness and the idea that the game is so Byzantine even its developers don't understand it (see the Dominions series, which gets the same effect in each release by just tweaking their ancient spaghetti codebase) but I can't help but feel that 'gently caress it up, but on purpose' is bad advice to give to Paradox
