fuck /v/. fuck

I sure hope discussions about this game don't end up in that wretched hive of scum and villainy, GSG General. It should be in Civ4XGeneral.
>>334740462
/gsg/ is pretty much vicky 2 general now. I have no idea how it perpetuates itself.
>>334740872
>I have no idea how it perpetuates itself.
A perpetual shitposting loop.
I can't wait to play, Moo2 can't satisfy my hunger for the rest of my life.
>>334743341
I'm more hyped for ES2. It's less grand of a project but at least Amplitude delivers, unlike Parajew.
>>334743602
Endless space was a disappointment for me, I do hope the second one is better though even though I am not planning on buying it.
>>334739492
EU4 was great up to and including Art of War. There weren't that many bad bugs, mostly just exploits they closed the loopholes for.
It's after that that it really went to shit, because Paradox doesn't know how to STOP making DLC and keeps adding on layers of shit.
>>334743724
ES1 was mediocre, true. EL is better. ES2 will be great at this rate.
Same
If this game is bad I'll be really disappointed
I'll just go back to playing Aurora I guess
>>334743789
>and keeps adding on layers of shit.
Corruption and the state/region bullshit the latest patch brought broke the camel's back for me. Is Crusader King's just as fucked?
>>334743862
What are their plans to make ES2 great besides an good AI?
>>334743862
Endless Legend is a really good game but there's too many annoying things i.e. combat for me to want to play it again
Amplitude have never cracked combat
>>334744045
They fucked it up with goddamn coalitions like it's the fucking 1800s
>>334743789
>it's another "screw logic, I want my casual game!" shitposter
Map painting was a mistake, one that's slowly being fixed.
>>334744045
As of the last major update... Yes. Which is a fucking shame. The content that broke the fucking game wasn't even part of the DLC, they just decided to change how the game works and it's shit now.
>>334741148
that was fucking great
>>334744045
Common Sense was very meh and Cossacks looked completely unappealing. Everything in Horse Nostrils looks even worse. I don't understand what the fuck those people are doing with their game. They seriously need to fucking spend a "DLC cycle" fixing all the broke shit and stop adding global additions that make everyone manage even more shit.
>>334744338
How exactly is map painting being "fixed"? Making everything take longer is not a fucking fix when you have zero content in between truce timers.
>>334744338
>one that's slowly being fixed.
By adding mechanics that make no sense. Hell, they're such bullshit they don't even feel gamey.
>>334744069
>Amplitude have never cracked combat
ES2 will be again cinematic pre-planned.
>>334744627
Hype ded
Frozen synapse is the only time preplanned has worked in a player vs player game and the devs of that couldn't even get it to work again in their next game
>>334744338
I'd love a country management game where you can truly improve without expanding but that's not the case in any paradox GS
Map painting is your gameplay
>>334744126
are you implying there weren't coalitions before the 1800s?
You may want to look into Louis XIV's wars. Here I've provided a useful historical analogy

>>334744906
>a few coalitions existed in a few specific times and places
>ergo every country should use coalitions all the time
Thanks paradox
>>334744906
Coalitions BARELY get a pass for existing in the timeline of EUIV
They have absolutely no purpose being in the time frame of CKII

So what you're saying is that it should be french only content, only active in the 1800's?
>>334745652
there were others, note the belligerents in this conflict
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Lepanto
>>334745861
That's a holy war buddy
What game, OP?
>>334745490
>coalitions don't belong in this era
>well look at all these coalition wars from the very end of the EUIV era
No shit, coalitions belong in Napoleonic era
They don't belong in 1066, or 768, or 1444
What are you trying to prove?
>>334746291
stellaris
>>334746354
what about the great northern war
>>334746573
THE END
OF EUIV
My point is that they don't belong in CKII, are you listening to me?
Stellaris is looking pretty swell, all the cool sci-fi shit sounds neato, though I'm not a fan of DLC the race generators and such are pretty neat.
Also there is literally nothing wrong with Cinematic pre-planned combat like in Endless Space and Endless Space 2
>>334747091
the nine years war?
>>334747546
You clearly aren't listening to me.
I'm talking about 769 - 1444, the time period of CKII.
Coalitions do not belong in that time frame.
>>334747403
>Also there is literally nothing wrong with Cinematic pre-planned combat like in Endless Space and Endless Space 2
Mah niggah. It jsut has to be done well.
>>334747702
what about the achaean war?
I'm pretty hyped.
So what races are people planning on making? I'm thinking of some sort of hive-mind slug species with a science focus
>>334748289
>what is a confederation
>>334739492
its like sixteen dollars on nuveem senpai, no reason not to buy it
>>334748527
It's somewhat hard for me to say exactly, but I have a few ideas.
>Xenophobic, study primitive races but exterminate them when they become aware of the presence or achieve warp travel, exterminate other races on planets they conquer
>Super space hippies; allow anyone of any race to join them and settle around freely, all for the glory of the greater good
>Empire of Slavers that aggressively seek alliances and then break them as soon as their backs are turned
I honestly have no idea what actual animal families to play though. Any of my ideas could be fit into any animal class really. I do really like the Mollusks and Fungi though aesthetically.
>>334749227
>This game cannot be activated outside of South America.
>>334749542
you only need a vpn to activate it, not play it
>>334748527
A hive-mind bug species that wants to improve their hive-mind with the use of other species.
>>334749737
Nice.
>>334749542
it was £20 on cdkeys
>>334749737
I haven't been able to get nuuvem to work since they made the change a while back
>>334739492
feels awful that my favorite devs at this point are Paradox and CDPR
bar set pretty fucking low
what game
>>334750634
stellaris
Can I play this game already.
Stop hyping me you Paradox shills.
>>334751190
6th IIRC
At least they release a new video on their dev playthrough every day
>>334744905
Theres Development and buildings, but those actually seem pretty fucking pointless and are really just a means to an end to be able to map paint harder.
It also doesnt help that half the countries in the game are fucking unplayable, i.e OPMs that immediately get fucked without RNG
I mean even the combat system is RNG, literally
>>334753793
>he thinks OPMs are unplayable
How is Master of Orion 4? Thinking of picking it up, but it doesn't seem as in depth as Stellaris.
