Paradox Interactive Thread: V3 'Check out my sick Germany blob' - Games

[QUOTE=Tuskin;48486753]Paradox was given a 150k Euro grant from the EU towards a video game titled right now as "Project Dallas" [URL]https://www.reddit.com/r/paradoxplaza/comments/3hf868/what_is_project_dallas/[/URL] [URL]https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/sites/eacea-site/files/guidelines-vg-2015.pdf[/URL] Guide lines for the grant[/QUOTE] Well this is something or other. I wonder what'll come out of it.

What I think is hilarious is that people on reddit are up in arms over the EU giving out what equates to pocket change to help PI. When the US spends in the billions on grants every year

so in my latest ck2 game, a whole bunch of shit happened and the mongols came early and subjugated the fuck outta the middle east, in the process razing down most of the area for grazing a few decades later and 18 days into January, the Ummayyd Caliph decides to strike back against the mongol empire, announcing his intentions to wreck the shit outta Israel instead of the bastard who burned down damn near every holy site in the middle east. I guess he just wants to save what's worth saving?? or the event is fucked and prefers jerusalem over everything else ala endless italy crusades lmao here is a large supplementary shitpost image, detailing the reactions of what remains of the christan world: [url]http://i.imgur.com/eNq6n98.jpg[/url] also note the king of israel's piety and prestige; i have no fucking idea how that happened

How did Baghdad turn into steppes :v:

So EU Rome is actually pretty fun. The entire game is about getting the best generals possible on the field while controlling them so that they don't start a civil war and wreck your shit. Even a 1 star difference could mean 10 to 1 losses. Its pretty ridiculous.

[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;48459684]wow that so cool CK2 gave me the legit final push to become an incestuous child-murdering proponent for eugenics and islam[/QUOTE] CK2 made me randomly become gay against my will [QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;48458921]Woah, same here what a small world[/QUOTE] Potentially here as well, I'm not quite committed to it but it's on the list of things I might decide to pursue

According to Johan Project Dallas is another name for Project Titus. [url]https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/what-is-project-dallas.877303/page-2[/url]

Well that clears up uh something [editline]19th August 2015[/editline] [img]https://i.imgur.com/XD2UsKD.jpg[/img] (not mine)

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;48464795]Maybe they extended the end date or added post-war bookmarks, ala Operation Unthinkable. I still wish they had more political parties. Seeing Leninists fighting Stalinists would be cool, or Fascist Italy + Austria vs National Socialist Germany[/QUOTE] I thought they kind of went overboard with the number of parties in HoI3. There was way too many. How many are there in HoI4?

[QUOTE=Smooth Jazz;48494624]I thought they kind of went overboard with the number of parties in HoI3. There was way too many. How many are there in HoI4?[/QUOTE] Three. A Fascist one, A Communist one and a neutral one. I really like to see how they'll handle the USA with those 3.

[QUOTE=DVH;48494776]Three. A Fascist one, A Communist one and a neutral one.

Enjoy your four terms of Roosevelt and then four terms of Truman and then four terms of JFK!

From what I gathered, Humans will be the only non-procedural species you will enouncter in Stellaris, every other species will be procedural generated.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;48495483] From what I gathered, Humans will be the only non-procedural species you will enouncter in Stellaris, every other species will be procedural generated.[/QUOTE] Ok that's interesting

You create your own species at game start up, and you won't encounter one like your own in game. I'm going to assume you can choose humans as well as a starting species. There are 'Federations' which sound more like the UN/EU then the Federation from Star Trek. Everyone is still independent, but you can get elected as leader of the Federation. What is cool, is if you're elected you can make ships out of the best parts of all the species that are in your Federation. If you're not the head of the federation you only have access to your own ships.

I'm looking for a cool Horse Lord start for CK2. Ideally the dude doesn't start as a Khagan, but the cool factor could come from stats, name, or anything else. also, which mod is better post -Horse Lords, CK2+ or HIP? Every time I get back into CK2 I attempt ironman for achievements but then remember that dumb shit tends to happen, nevermind the bugs.

But once you inherit It's all over

So I just started playing CK2 as the king of Mercia in England at the earliest start date, and I have a question: How am I supposed to fight this almost 3,000 man stack of Lollard rebels (from a single Lollard county I might add) when my entire army, including vassals is under 2,000?

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;48499453]Keep a sack of gold lying around for mercenaries.[/QUOTE] Speaking of mercs, do they recuperate from losses, and if so, how exactly?

[QUOTE=gufu;48499474]Speaking of mercs, do they recuperate from losses, and if so, how exactly?[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure they only do so over time when not hired by anyone.

Always enter a conflict as a third party or on a side. You must turn as many countries as you can into your states or into satellites of the US. If the US government is destroyed in a coup, the game is over.

Total goal is all of Africa + Arabia [editline]20th August 2015[/editline] Basically own all of the Oil that Russia doesn't have

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;48500936]Total goal is all of Africa + Arabia [editline]20th August 2015[/editline] Basically own all of the Oil that Russia doesn't have[/QUOTE] In that case you also need Brazil's coastline, Norway, Tierra del Fuego, Indonesia and Scotland. :v:

[QUOTE=croguy;48501004]In that case you also need Brazil's coastline, Norway, Tierra del Fuego, Indonesia and Scotland. :v:[/QUOTE] *All of the WMDs i mean

So I'm having a Darkest Hour hands-off WW2 with mixed-mod. As of [B]1953[/B] Germany has annexed Korea. They have absorbed everything east of Berlin, and have also subjugated the Swedes and India as well. China is being eviscerated by the Germans. Spain and Yugoslavia are Axis members too. Japan is at war with TurboGermany. So far, the USSR (now gone) suffered 14 million casualties, Germany has lost 7.2 million and the US has dropped [B]EIGHT[/B] nuclear weapons on Germany. But now the Allies are preparing beach-heads in Europe. Can they win? Let's see.
