Holy gently caress how good would that be? A wargame where you leave the actual moving of armies to the jocks in the war room and all you do is make deals, do research, and allocate resources. Maybe some high level arrow drawing. Victory through superior application of economics and diplomacy.

wasnt German tanks running out of fuel a major reason they lost a few key battles? How will this supply system represent stuff like the battle of the bulge?

Gort posted:It'll be more like the Germans losing key battles because they didn't have enough fuel to build enough tanks to fight the battles - technically different, effectively similar. I can see why people are complaining in that case. It sounds like in this system, disrupting supply chains is functionally the same thing as strategic bombing. If I can cut an army off from a port/surround them I should be able to starve them of fuel and supplies in a matter of weeks rather than waiting months for the production chain to be affected .

What do you guys find you have to hand off to the AI in hoi3? The complaints against that game are so insanely overblown. The OOB thing is somewhat valid but fixing it or at least the bits that matter doesn't take very long. I think it comes from it just not being what people expect or want from a paradox game.

DrSunshine posted:Tell me about it. I knew from the moment I started seeing that exploration ship going from system to system, exploring every single thing there, that this would be a game that I could spend literal days on. If days and not months is your metric for time spent in paradox games you're a loving casual. Hth

If you'd asked me before I played HOI3 I would have said I prefer sprites but the nato counters take not long at all to learn and convey information more cleanly than pictures once you've decoded them. I think the pdox argument is that you can learn to decode the pictures too, which is true, but I'd rather play with the boxes with lines than pictures I have to squint at. It's a good thing they're both in the game!

zedprime posted:The real question is when is a Tabletop Simulator inspired version of HoI coming out where you issues commands by pushing the NATO counters around a table map with a crook? I absolutely cannot loving wait for VR mapgames where you do this. Maybe not using a crook, necessarily, but standing in an actual war room with a bunch of different maps on the walls, cigar smoke filling the air, people coming and going, actually getting handed paper documents with reports and poo poo on them, junior officers celebrating at victories, the atmosphere becoming more and more grim as the enemy front moves closer and closer to your capital...

Phlegmish posted:Oh. Who posted a multi-page screed about how using counters is basically the holocaust all over again? nobody individually but the amount of posters saying 'HEH PDOX SHOULD REMOVE NAYDOUGH COUNTERS TO TROL PPL  ' has far, far outnumbered anyone saying the opposite. most people who are pro-nato counters are not upset that the terrible 20x30 pictures are also an option.

cool and good posted:I haven't played any HOI. What's stopping the Germany and Russia players from allying (or NAPing for real) and just stomping everyone else? They had objectives that required them to defeat each other in hoi3, I think after an expansion. There was an Unholy Alliance button where you could do just that, though, but I think it pissed japan off.

Infrateal posted:in world war I primitive tanks carried bundles of sticks on the front of their hulls which they dropped into trenches so they could cross them and the term for these objects is "fascines" but they could also be termed "enormous faggots" and basically if a wwI tank ever goes to mars and needs to cross the Valles Marineris it should strap Hitlers Gay Secret to the front of its hull

V for Vegas posted:That seems... high? If you're looking at valuation around 5x - 10x revenue, that would give Paradox a revenue stream of around 40m - 80m p.a. I don't think they make that much. Valuations depend more on growth projections than what most people would think. Investors are looking at the revenue timeline from the last couple years and licking their chops--in the era of 2013-15 paradox sales have been through the roof compared to any time previously from what little data I have picked up. This is ostensibly an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a publisher that is crossing over from niche to mainstream and that's where the real money starts rolling in, either way "valuation at 5x-10x revenue" is not really a useful metric of valuation

Drone posted:Stellaris's not-100%-perfect launch burnt a lot of people tremendously hard, apparently. After all, that game is literally unplayable! the stellaris thread prior to launch was loving hilarious. people were working themselves up into a lather posting about mechanics and features that they were looking forward to that weren't in the game, making spreadsheets with little morsels of information gleaned from streams, writing pages of lore about their snowflake Tortossian Empires, and when I had the temerity to point out that maybe the collective enthusiasm could use some curbing I was, predicably, called an idiot.
