Will they ever put out 1.10 for EU4? I refuse to join a discord just to get updates on a mod's progress.

Last update I read on the trooncord is that they are almost done with the last mission tree of 1.10 and started on a update for Bulgaria. That being, the guy posting the update said that 1.10 is at least a couple of months away due to all the missing localization.

Stellaris is more of an exploration and diplomacy game.
Endless Space 2 is more of a conquest game. You start off in ES in a cold war where you can fight eachother for new colonies and are more likely to have actual wars right from the start forced on you. Regardless of what victory type you go for you are probably going to be fighting and conquering.

The first Endless Space is also worth trying. I kinda wish ES2 kept the darker tone and insanity of the first game. In ES1 there were plagues that would wipe entire systems down to a single pop and intentionally spreading the plague to other players was the optimal strat to dealing with that. Having a more efficient economy meant terraforming planets into miserable gas giant worlds propped up by drug/luxury consumption. ES2 is still cutthroat and a little cynical, but not in the same way.

That's interesting, haven't heard about ES1 being more serious. What about the gameplay department, does it have something unique about it or is ES2 just superior in every way?

Gameplay wise ES2 improves on it, yes. It's basically a better ES1 in nearly every aspect.

Which is a shame because it makes ES1 hard to recommend. No reason to start there as a newcomer if a superior version of the game exists, and no reason to go back as an experienced player other than sheer curiosity.
 
Hello, I’m Pdxen, Tech Lead for Hearts of Iron and I want to welcome you to the second update of the Summer Open Beta. In this update we are changing the topic from balancing to updating the tech stack of the game.

A lot has happened with computers since Hoi4 was released. Back then, new CPUs used to have 4 cores and around 8 hardware threads, and all of those cores were heterogeneous. All but the lowest end CPUs have more cores and hardware threads today, and not necessarily homogeneous cores anymore. In this update we’re updating the threading libraries used in HoI4, with the aim to improve performance on some machines. Considering the fundamental change with this update and the wide variety of machines that people are playing the game on, we appreciate your help to verify that there is no unforeseen deterioration for specific hardware configurations before we push the changes live for everyone.

While you didn't ask for this and this is somewhat SNCA territory, the Endless Space series also has a great soundtrack and art style, at least in my opinion, I especially like the Empire and Vodyani art style and music themes.

Having good art direction and good music helps a lot with the gameplay experience.
 
If I was a CK2 modder doing a modern day total conversion mod I would have plagues be drug epidemics and obesity instead of plagues. Meth spreads across half the kingdom.


Does anybody here play Age of History III?
I booted it up. I like the little genre of strategy games that simplify their genre down to the absolute bare minimum. Ozymandias did that with 4X. Lines of Battle does that with Total War style formation warfare in real time. War of Dots isn’t near the level of those two but it does it with HOI4 like map-painting/Encirclement Simulator. Countryball Conquest was the right attempt at grand strategy but was broken trash.

I saw an unhappy middle ground of it requiring learning a UI (those other games are trivially easy to pick up and play) but still being clearly shallow, like laws being a clear Whiggish progression from era to era with it ending always in “same shit, but d i g i t a l.”
 
I realised earlier that we recently passed the 2 year anniversary of Prison Architect 2 being delayed and it's still not out and there's still no official news.

I am saddened by the loss of heir designation, good thing I can still just castrate my bad children. Allahu akbar. I guess rushing primogeniture was unnecessary, but I simply could not find a Muslim willing to join my court, until one day I notice a random single Sunni women has just appeared in my court. I don't know where she came from or when. It must be the will of Allah, praise be unto him.


Felt like I had a stroke reading this.

I heard it got significantly better since launch, how is it now? Are mods like Invictus or Terra Indomita still essential? I know Paradox abandoned it but surely something was done before then?

I played it for the first time earlier this year using the Invictus mod. It’s fine I guess? It feels more like a glorified tech demo than anything else and there’s not that much depth once you get into it.

Got independence from China. Some guy posted a strat on Paradox forums: saving a couple of thousand gold, placing your capital right beside the protector general's, then hiring a deathstack of mercs to siege it immediately after war declaration. As it is his only held county, that siege should result in 100% score before the mainland Chinese army that spawns at the map border reaches you. You also have keep an eye on the general's personal army before declaring war, wait until its away from his county chasing raiders or something. Fighting them or any raiders present in the county can buy the spawned troops enough time to reach and subsequently stomp you before finishing the siege. His tributaries make no difference, they can't reach you any faster than the spawned troops.

Then swore faelty to Tibet and have since been conquering it from within. I've assassinated enough of the title lineage that the people now inheriting are foreign heathens, making the the realm very unstable and changing it's name to Arslan (It's currently ruled by a Nomadic Tengri Turk, who is facing 3 rebellions). I can't sieze the throne yet as my kingdom is not a de jure part of Tibet (I wasn't aware that was a requirement), so I have to sieze another kingdom within it first. Guge looks like the best candidate, once I get the piety to invade.

Soon.

The Tinto devs have posted a preview of the new expeditions system for EU5 1.4 and all I can think of is what the fuck? This is the type of shit you would see in CK3. I really want to like EU5 for its framework but it feels like it's becoming the next Imperator :bossman:

Reserving my judgement till I see it in action. EUV future does not look bright if they fuck up 1.4 though.

Oh no, not again!
Last time after he was invited on similar trip by pdx . He started to make "theory" videos about how Vic3 warfare system will look like . This was months , before pdx revealed it. And it was suspiciously simillar to his theories.

I dont even know why they make different games anymore. They clearly want EUV VIC3 CK3 to be basically the same game. I wouldnt be shocked if moving forward its just "One game" instead of three different games.

Im glad I stuck with eu4 lol
