In Victoria 2, do crises only target the player nation? It seems that every crisis that happens is "chunk off a bunch of the player empire" - I haven't seen one targeting an AI yet.

There's no bias against the player when it comes to developing crisis points afaik.

If you have been paying attention to how CK2 and EUIV expansions have been at launch, you should be worrying if they're back to their old tricks.

EU4 seems like a minmaxing multiplayer game to me nowadays. I play these games to have fun immersing myself in alternate history, not creating the perfect strategy of working around game mechanics. It is my least favorite paradox for that reason.

Huh... i could have sworn all the pictures had died together with waffleimages and this legendary LP was lost, but looking through it now it seems like everything is there. Did someone add all the pics again like i think was planned years ago or am i remembering everything wrong?

Good time to read it again for sure, thanks.

My biggest disappointment is how little it matters whether communists or fascists govern your country, and how interactions between countries is just -200 +200 relations with no real effect.

At least 50% of the complaining and suggestions in paradox threads is from people with thousands of hours of playtime who mistake their own boredom for systemic flaws. This is not to say they are perfect games, obviously, but when you're seriously arguing for the total abstraction of warfare you might be better off sinking time into rad city builders like anno and banished, or proc gen sims like rimworld ir dwarf fortress, or supply chainers like factorio

I mean, three kingdoms total war is a better map game than Imperator and includes battles so i'm not that interested in anything else right now. Depending on how field of glory empires turns out that's another game i'd rather play. Paradox might need to step up now that they have serious competition. Who was in charge for CK2?

It's funny you mention this because I always felt the weird framing of who exactly you were playing in Vicky 2 was a bit confusing. Like one of the classic strategies is to deliberately let communist rebels win because being communist gives you a command economy rather than needing to rely on whatever the hell capitalists want to build, but this seems like such an odd thing from a game design perspective - in order to get what you want, you need to deliberately lose.

Actually you want the capitalists to govern forever so you don't have to click a 1000 times for factories to be built.
