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

[U-Lander]

So have there been any reveals of dates for Stellaris yet? I haven't seen anything, but I just want to be sure.

It was in late alpha in August, I'm guessing it'll be out before June 2016.

"Covert infiltration"

So, anal probing

arguably that's not very covert :v:

Don't remember if this was posted, but Stellaris has a Genocide button. I actually have no idea what it does, I have not read or seen the video it came from

Going to assume it means wiping out a planets population.

That sounds like a shitty sticky note :v:

Removes the pop you decide to genocide on that planet, say there's fish men on a certain part of the planet and the planet's full or I just don't want them on my planet at all, I click genocide and it forcefully removes that pop in that area. It won't genocide the entire planet I think.

[Kaz]

I can feel it in my veins the first mods for Stellaris to ever come out will allow for human genocide as a human civ(faction?) if lets say you do all humans civ game. knowing's paradox stance on the whole subject, they won't allow it vanilla and will delete mod threads/ban users for it, so I imagine it's up to some other degenerate scum outside the forums to make it. :vs:

unless they said it was possible, I honestly haven't really been reading dev posts too much

[Anderan]

Not gonna lie, I'm probably more excited about the prospect of the inevitable 40k mods than I am the game itself.

American Union also sounds more Fascist name then Communist TBH[/QUOTE]

Well the borderline fascist equivalent in Kasierreich was the American Union State, so it doessound pretty fascist.

I'm really looking forward to a Halo mod. Imagine uniting all the species in Halo trying to fight the Flood as an endgame scenario. Or discovering Forerunner ruins and the rings. It could even have a timeline, like during the covenant war, before or after, giving you a lot of options.

Also one thing i'm not quite sure of in Stellaris is how are they handling FTL speeds? Because in say Distant World universe, you have to research what FTL drive you want and then as you research more, you unlock faster drives. Is that going to be the case in Stellaris as well or will all the ships move at roughly the same speeds in FTL troughout the whole game?

[Redswandir]

Although I'm looking forward to the total conversion mods, I'm more hyped for mega events, ie Reapers/Flood appear, or things lifted wholesale from Spore

The more we can mod this game the better it'll be

HOI4 Dev Stream

Single Player Finland this time.

[Zillamaster55]

Is it just me or do colonial nations break off WAYYYY faster than they used to?

I've been watching an observe game, and all of Portugal's colonies ("Mexico" having like, 5 provinces in total) broke away by the mid 1600s, and Spain barely even had a foothold before Colombia said sayonara too.

[Tuskin]

This is the current placeholder image for Hitler in the German Version of HOI4 :v:

There might be a new V2 patch coming??? A couple devs are working on the base code in their free time.

Or it could just be internal

[GrizzlyBear]

Maybe they are finally trying to fix the economy?

Wiz (newest dev) said he was going to try and heroically fix it and Johann (older dev) laughed, saying better men have tried. Wiz said he spent about 5 minutes trying before fleeing in terror.

[Tuskin]

oh I was wrong, the Thunder Dragon Empire in HOI4 screenshot was a Dev Screenshot from twitter, not a screenshot leaked from a Beta tester

[quote]Crisis with attacker backer and no defender backer now resolves in favor of attacker rather than fizzling[/quote]

Good, the fact that they fizzled out was silly.

[Zillamaster55]

[QUOTE=Anderan;49348302]Good, the fact that they fizzled out was silly.[/QUOTE]

I did really hate that. Like, if Germany were to support Poland poppping out of the Russians, and nobody came to help the Russians (if they were a secondary power or something), why would Germany just go "aww nobody to fight nvm poland"

[Anderan]

They'll need to nerf how often crises occur though otherwise we're going to have a lot of shit balkanizing. Now if only we can give nations penalties for not supporting nations within their sphere during a crisis. I'm looking at you UK during every crisis to free Greek territories from the Ottomans.

[Adarrek]

I really want a mod based on this for HOI4 after it comes out: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldwar:_In_the_Balance[/url]
I wonder how moddable will it be... It really shouldn't be hard to make. Mostly it's just adding some events in 1942 that spawns the race all around the map in areas where they land in the book, maybe add new futuristic techs and a timeline plus some other things to make them possible to fight. Then add events that increase atomic research and maybe somehow modify the game so that all ongoing wars are instantly ceased via an event and the whole world declares war on the race.

[Zillamaster55]

[QUOTE=Anderan;49349720]I'm looking at you UK during every crisis to free Greek territories from the Ottomans.[/QUOTE]

For fucks sake that always made me furious and confused me to no end.

I.E Russia allies with France, and pushes for the....[I][B]ottomans!?[/B][/I] to keep territory!?? When the Brits have the Ottomans in their sphere?

Wouldn't you want to break that moshpit of shit up?

V2 Beta Patch

You'll need the Steam Version to test it, but they will be releasing a non-Steam version in the New Year.

[Anderan]

Not quite as an extensive changelog as I was hoping but oh well, good enough for a minor side project.
