[img]https://i.imgur.com/EekVpZc.png[/img][/QUOTE]Sort of concerned about the lack of mention of Vick and HOI, but someone on /gsg/ suggested the devs for those might've left already, but still.

I'm trying not to be really skeptical but it's kinda hard.

Part of me hopes it has a random map generator and a civ/nation/character designer, but a part of me doesn't, and the options probably won't be featured and they'll just have only pre-built map(s) and characters much like in previous series, or later on most likely be milked for dlc. Galciv 2/3 kinda made me realize those kinds of things (aside the map generator obviously) kinda gimp you and feel barebones actual gameplay wise.

[editline]5th August 2015[/editline]

and even if they did include it as a dlc later on it'll just be like really limiting like EU4's so you can't make actual custom worlds without resorting to full on modding. Man I sound so bitter I'm sorry

[Anderan]

They probably just mentioned EU and CK because those are the two most popular products at the moment and the fact that CK2 and EU4 probably have the broadest appeal.

Nah I'm with you, I'm going to stay super reserved considering what Paradox did with Common Sense and province development, holy shit that was such a cunt move

UK why are you doing this its 1939, why are you in the Pacific stop

[Canesfan]

I'm excited for their take on a space game, but the similarity to GC3 in those screenshots is really weird. Hope it can hold me for longer. Also, the only thing I really care about getting from Paradox right now is Vicky III. Until that point everything else is just a distraction

[moffe]

honestly the game looks like it could be a ck2 reskin with a bit more interaction between fighting armies, the interface in general looks just like reskinned ck2

Man they haven't even made a game set in the modern era yet. Ah oh well hopefully this one is good.

[RockmanYoshi]

Apparently you can land Jan Mayen bears to any specific province you want so "bearhaslanded 151" would spawn it in Constantinople.

I don't know if you guys have seen this but a couple of guys including me are working on an ancient era mod.

Hey, add me on [url=steamcommunity.com/id/godzillaman2000]Steam[/url], I could help you out with parts of the Levant and middle east.

If we can get an ancient world mod going I'll die a happy, happy Roman.

[superdeluxe]

Yes. I was hoping for a GSG set in space by Paradox. Can't wait for Total conversion mods for Star Trek etc.

I'm going to give it 15 minutes before someone puts out the alpha to a Warhammer 40k mod

[Redswandir]

[QUOTE=SebiWarrior;48393492]I hope someone does a Mass Effect mod for it[/QUOTE]

you know

I actually would do this

[1nfiniteseed]

I'd hold out hope for a star wars mod.

So, I was playing as Portugal and had a big colonial empire, including West india, all of Australia, some parts of La plata and all but two provinces of Brazil. At this time (1700-1720ish) I was in an extreme rivality with France over a bunch of colonies in South America. Brazil, my biggest colony was also starting to turn illoyal towards me. Constantly they were around the 40-49 liberty desire due to my army size and tarrifs which was around 50%. I only had some 30k troops or so, 10k of them stationed in Morocco to protect from the backward state of Morocco and Tlemcen or whatever they are called. The other 20k were stationed in my capital Lisboa. However what I didn't have in army I made up in navy. I had over 300 ships in total that I used for combat duties.

France had established around Colombia and started to expand close to my Brazil Colony. Me, not being ready for war neither manpower or technology wise was focusing on Africa and establishing trade companies to gain more money. Brazil didn't really like the French colonies next to them so they decided to declare war to take some worthless province and to expand their interest. Lo and behold, in a matter of seconds I'm at war with both France and its colonies, Spain and its colonies and Nevers. ALL of these states had massive armies and navies in their countries and it didn't take long for them to reach my country and destroy my armies and eventually decimate my navies. When they attacked my armies I put my ruler and my heir in command to save in military points so I could spend them on tech. In total I lost over 50k manpower, over 40 regiments and lost some 290 ships. Brazil didn't manage to achieve their wargoal cause they were terrible fighters and made white peace with the French after a couple of years. And in a matter of days all my colonies reached a liberty desire of 100% and declared independence.

I lost all my manpower, all my armies, literally all my ships, all my colonies, I went from 60 duct profit month to 4 duct profit month and lost my king and heir and went into a PU with england.

Never again.

At first I was groaning at the thought of Paradox going space, then I read this article: [url]http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/08/06/stellaris-paradox-strategy-game/[/url]

Sweet, can't wait to have space aliens commit space incest.

I hope they get the endgame stuff right. The anti-endgame stuff that they've put in other games and I've seen from other companies has not been that fun. It just constrains you, forcibly balances you; most of the time. I mean that's fine, but it's usually done in a way that's always felt cheap to me.

But, by god. I want this game so fucking much right now. I've been waiting for a new, original sci-fi 4x (using '4x' vaguely here) for a long time. Distant Worlds Universe was the closest I've gotten, but I found it too clunky and "wide" to really dig into. This game seems to be trying to have every goddamn awesome sci-fi trope at once and I'm creaming my pants dreaming about it.

Holy shit, they even have SoTS style FTL engine seperation! Fuuuuuuuuuck.

Please be good. Pleeeeease be good.

I should be skeptical, but the hype of that article was fucking crazy.

According to the RPS article warpspace-spillover can be one of the many endgame disasters; so 40k is already kind of ingame.
