Randarkman posted:If I'm going to be honest, even though I'm pretty sure Vicky 2 is a better game, I always did like the original Vicky/Ricky more. I played the crap out of that in high school. Agreed. The satisfaction of being the one to promote your POPs and guiding them along was a lot more..immersive? than the Vicky 2 model.

^ March of the Eagles is nothing like Victoria, I don't think you're making a lot of sense with that post. That said, I'd like them to get 1836 working to their spec, which requires a lot less changes, before I see them begin juggling other important historical contexts as well.

ilitarist posted:I want every strategy game to have music designed the same way as in CK3. It's ambient on the edge of your consciousness most of the time until you get a feast or war. Made me realize that hearing inspiring Hollywood score in Imperator or Stellaris while I decide where to build a farm was always wrong. the stellaris score during the exploration phase is perfect the first couple times through though

something else i hope organically happens is that players will stride into 1914 arrogantly thinking "well ive definitely eclipsed all the other powers, time to steamroll them for their colonies", and then their entire country falls apart in an apocalyptic hellwar their economy couldnt possibly handle

Ottomans are my third game, after a Two Sicilies run and a Prussia run. This is the fabled prophecy handed down from Victoria: Revolutions, to Victoria 2, and now to its successor, Victoria: The Third One

Raenir Salazar posted:Japanese history during the period is a little complex. The Shogunate while powerful, is kinda more like if you had the Holy Roman Empire with the Emperor as a figurehead and Wallenstein controlling the government. IIRC you had dozens if not over a hundred feudal domains that were vassals and the modernist/restoration faction and the shogunate faction in the Boshin War were made up of these feudal domains. The Shogun's influence had waned considerably due to the opening up of Japan to foreigners. It's a LOT more accurate than depicting independent nations instead of a unified Japan. The Shogunate was highly centralized, as can be shown by how swiftly the Boshin War was handled and the Restoration began.

Raenir Salazar posted:The Shogunate clearly wasn't very centralized given it had to deal with a full blown civil war in which it lost. You're confusing how quickly the feudal domains allowed themselves to be re-centralized under the Imperial court and the resulting new government/Diet with how they were in the 50 some-odd years leading up to it. Feudal Japan is still Feudal Japan. Plenty of European feudal nations looked centralized from the outside until they weren't thanks to the feudal/social contract the landed nobility held with the King. And the power balance between the Shogun and the Daimyo changed from reign to reign. Losing a civil war rapidly is itself indicative of high centralization, though?

All the more reason Paradox games should be decoupled from historical settings, since Paradox routinely fails to grapple with historical atrocities

It sounds like buildings are attempting to compromise by not being as micro-heavy as Ricky, but still being as rewarding as being the one who is industrializating your nation that it had.

I think a lot of people are just letting their experience with Victoria 2 limit and hinder their thoughts around the design of this game, up to and including the idea that the player is specifically the state and so the decision is "either players build this or the capitalist AI does or the communist peasant societies do". e: to the point where I even saw a poster worried that private industries would be its own building that abstracted capitalism?

bob dobbs is dead posted:how many algos implementin this game are gonna be strictly ω(n) (not O(n), ω(n)) and so dog poo poo slow in late game I don't follow the Stellaris thread but didn't folks in there describe things like Djikstra's algorithm as unsolvable problems, and O(n) a pipe dream? Things like that don't give me confidence, especially with recent Paradox releases.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I mean, it should probably be in-game time, but yeah, speeding up the game by making ticks more spread out probably wouldn't be the worst thing. Even better if they ran on offset cycles, so the computing load was sorta similar across the year, rather than every non-combat calculation being bunched up at the start of each month. I.. meant just that it would take 10 minutes to go to the next fourth of day, due to how bad performance was, but sure

VanSandman posted:How do you model incompetency in a game like this? Nicholas II's dumb choices at every opportunity was part of the reason the Russian Revolution happened. How would that work in a Victoria 3 context? You're an Absolute Monarchy in the 20th century, and the associated militancy? You don't need to represent "wanders away into WW1 frontlines", you only really need to represent "the people demand reforms constantly", since eventually you fail dice rolls on rulers.

One thing Johan was right about is that if you’re automating a system for players, you should reconsider how that system works. The “hunt rebels “ button existing, while nice, points pretty strongly to that.
