Paradox will fuck up that new Rome game with mobile gaym tier point collecting.

>>14836240

That's a given.

>>14836240

From the screenshot i saw, not sure if it was legit or not, it looks like its just a reskinned eu4 anyway.

I really wish they would update their engine, but meh, i've got some ideas for my own grand strategy that ill start when i have the time.

>>14836282

>i've got some ideas for my own grand strategy that ill start when i have the time.

Please make a globe map or a non shitty map projection.

So you won't. Even if you do, you will give up fast.

more like reskinned EU:Rome

I wouldn't be surprised if version 1.0 was just EU:Rome with updated graphics

>>14836282

It's literally just EU: Rome with the Reign of the Ancients mod mentioned in the OP image.

>>14836282

>reskinned eu4

as >>14836390 says, it looks very much like EU: Rome, but with mana tacked on and without colonisation.

Seeing as how it has HoI4-like microprovinces, I wonder how war will be done. Will it just be "soldier steps on province, means it's yours now", or will there be negotiations like in the other titles? If so, will that result in border gore never before seen by man? Or maybe there will be some bigger provinces containing smaller provinces? I guess I just don't understand the logic of using a wargame province system in an ancient setting. In ww2 where you have fronts and shit, it makes perfect sense, but why have it in ancient Rome, where no such things existed and you didn't fight for every square inch for territory?

>>14836627

>Seeing as how it has HoI4-like microprovinces, I wonder how war will be done. Will it just be "soldier steps on province, means it's yours now", or will there be negotiations like in the other titles?

I assume it'll be something like the war system in Stellaris actually. Where you can settle for status quo and borders move a little more fluidly than in EU4.

>>14836697

I'd say you are if you play with any supernatural events.

We can safely assume that the game will have mana out the ass, bugs and balancing issues out the ass, women in historically dubious positions out the ass and of course DLC out the ass.

>>14836709

that system is fucking garbage though. You either utterly crush the enemy and grab his 5 planets, or you crush him only a little and grab his 5 planets, but several years sooner. You also can't offer to settle for lower gains in exchange for peace – crushing the enemy enough to accept status quo takes forever, even if he is losing terribly.

EU4's system is actually fairly good (definitel the most complex) and I don't understand why they don't use it in their other games.

>>14836786

I don't think that's prestige, as prestige gets capped at 100. Maybe we'll get 4 manas instead of 3 now?

>>14836811

Possibly. Either way, they didn't go through the trouble of making the game distinct enough from EU4 to overhaul the point system for it correspond to the peculiarities of the time period more accurately, as they did with Crusader Kings and Victoria.

>>14836759

>that system is fucking garbage though

It's more an issue with Stellaris' doomstack-centric warfare and the new war exhaustion mechanics than anything. If used properly it could work in a classical setting and we should see more natural borders form along terrain that armies traditionally had trouble dealing with. I fully anticipate Paradox fucking it up regardless, but I don't find anything wrong with the system in theory.

>>14836363

I recall there being some anon working on a game set around the fall of Rome. I wonder if he's still working at it or if he gave up

>>14836240

>>14836282

>>14836786

wasnt out there a Knights of Honor like game about the roman period that came out like in 2015? that game wasnt shilled enough

>>14836831

There are different people saying that several times a year just here on fullchan. Nothing every comes out of it, because at the end of the day an actually proper game like that does require a lot of effort to make even before getting to the programming itself, which is not easy too.

What's a good army composition for cwe?

>>14836786

>reskinned eu4

No. That's like saying EU:Rome is reskinned EU3 which isn't true because both games plays differently.

Trade routes, POPs and characters are from EU:Rome. There's also more unit types than in EU4. Only the fort system and mana seems to be taken from EU4.

>>14836786

The big issue with EU4 is mana for technology. If they unlink technology from mana and have mana used specifically for internal management of the empire it wouldn't be too awful.

Does anyone else dress up while playing /gsg/ I usually wear my chainmail

>>14837581

is the chainmail a bikini?

>>14837581

I usually wear my sallet

and gambeson

>>14837581

Summer is close so I will be playing in boxers soon. Though I have already done that a few times this year.

>>14837581

i have a feldmütze but i dont wear in this heat

>>14837581

I only play /gsg/ while naked, especially in summer. It can get pretty hot here.it's more immersive that way.

>>14838151

Why naked, though? I don't like the idea of my ass sitting on my bed. No matter how clean I am keeping it, the idea makes me uncomfortable.

>>14836786

>>14837071

At this point I'm happy that Swedistan imported their shitskins so that Paradox studios have the possibility of getting enriched by the religion peace.

These marxist pricks are dumbing everything down and turning every game into touch screen compatible games for soccer moms.

It's like you hate fun anon.

I play every game in ironman mode.

>>14838709

>>14838880

Having my boxers on and having my dick out don't interfere with one another.

>>14836846

There's the "When the World Stopped Making Sense" mod for CK2 at least.

>>14838880

>I play every game in ironman mode.

Tried it, but having the game lag every single month so that it can save made me dismiss that idea pretty quick.

>>14841392

You can only sign up for their forum if you bought one of their games if I recall correctly, it's no suprise that it's full of retarded normalfags who love mana since no sane person would give money to Parakike.

>>14841416

I think its you can only go into the forum of games you own. But don't hold me to that.

>>14841416

you can only access the subforums of games you bought. Unreleased games and similar, such like this, are on the public side and anyone can access them. Once this game releases, all the mods and similar will again be locked behind the forum wall, accessible only to good goys.

Luckily, most mods (especially the big ones) also release their shit on Steam, and it's easy to get mods from there even without owning the game.

>>14841392

Paradox's managing of the forums is probably the scummiest shit they do.

Reminder they permanently removed EU3 and HoI3 sections to better push the sequels.

Lets not forget about the "Respectfully disagree" thing and kebab being a banable offense.

The fact that you can't download mods irks me the most.

And when I was looking for the new MEIOU on plebbit, one of developers said that they aren't allowed posting links to mods on other sites due to being one of the conditions for getting mod tools.

The whole corporate section of parajew deserves to be shot in the back of the head.

So they decided to sell Christianity as a DLC, it seems.

If you want mods and don't want to give your shekels to Johan, just find the mod on Steam (no need to have an account) and copy the URL. Then search for "steam workshop downloader" and the first few results should all be sites where you just paste the URL and it'll download the mod for you.

I wonder if Paradox is ever going to fix those gray spots in major rivers. It's seriously distracting.

>>14841993

Damn, that is a long Saxony up there.

>>14842277

You should have all of the DLC downloaded anyway and be playing with HIP

>>14842277

Even if you are playing the game on Steam, you can still use pirated DLCs. Use HIP as well. Playing vanilla is a dreadful experience.

>>14842398

I got it for free on Steam for the forum shite, but I have it pirated with all DLCs to begin with. Won't restart my game just to start with a mod, though.

>>14842613

You distracted the Greeks while the guy adventured his way to the throne, looks like.

>>14842660

>likes jews

>called 'the mutilator'

Got yourself the patron saint of circumcision it seems.

>>14842847

Saxony is Germanic, which is considered Norse in vanilla (with DLCs). I am still Tengri and Byz is Tengri. I want to go Orthodoxy, but I can't find an Orthodoxy wife/concubine to take. And there are no Orthodoxy priests to come from anywhere. Only Catholics.

By the way Italy is Lollard

>>14842884

Oh God. I just realized that Byz is attacking Italy. I weakened the Byzantium Empire so the throne can be stolen and become stronger and fucking form a proper Roman Empire. What a big mistake.

>>14842916

Okay, maybe I am getting ahead of myself. As they are Tengri surely if they attack the Papacy there will be a holy war against them. Though I am not sure if Austrasia and whatever France there is can win such a war at this point.

>>14842884

If possible, go Zoroastrian. It would make for an interesting game.

>>14842994

If you are bored try switching to some other guy from your dynasty and make the empire implode

>>14842996

if he's bored, he should try playing some nobody on the other side of the map and then try to build up fast enough to be able to beat his previous empire while it blobs at an exponential rate. Reformed pagans with low crown authority are fucking terrifying – the vassals do joint holy wars on everything in vicinity while the head spams great holy war.

>>14843154

Actually I lied. Italy is still Lollard. I was looking at something else, I guess.

Byz cucked itself with Iconoclast, revolts and wars, so now I can beat it again. Immediately got Kaliopolis.

Actually getting my heir in throne wouldn't be bad right now, because I can probably subjugate Byz in their current state.

>>14843306

So now that my wife died I was finally able to fine an Orthodox wife and I can convert, but I am not sure if I want to. Letting my heir subjugate the whole of Byz would help me quit the game, though I am on the verge of some civil wars.

>>14844487

What's going on with that tiny empire in Crimea? Is the little tengri revolt in Sicily against that one?

>>14844646

>>14844646

That is Khwaliz, two Catholic provinces that have freed themselves from Khazaria somehow. And now idea how you relate it with Sicily. I don't think you are using the correct therms.

Byzantium has 2 revolts against it. One is a Greek one, they are also Iconoclasts. The other is a Tengri revolt in Italy, but not the whole of Italy. So the Byz Empire is holding currently only a very small part of Italy and parts of Anatolia into the Armenia, but the revolts are in progress, not finalized.

>>14844739

>>14844756

>Good luck

Won't take me long and I already got a lot of the work done. Right now I'm looking into the decision stuff and will modify it to prevent nonsensical events from happening such as NS USA embargoing all axis members and declaring war on them because it's CURRENT_YEAR. I've already got a good understanding of decisions and have made my own (for myself, not for release) such as a decision that will declare war on all countries at the same time which you can activate at any time for a fun survival game which I like to play on custom game mode with Cuba.

So far I have:

All of the buildings included from black ice such as hospitals, research labs, tank factories and so on

All buildings can be built in parallel in the production tab, even those from base game such as infrastructure

>gamers can't handle non-linear gameplay

>games that give players a chose are bad game design

>>14845062

Thinking sure is hard. I'm glad game designers remove my choices so I don't have to think about things like my character.

A lot of people would think the problem with many choices is nothing more than a balance issue, but I'm glad modern game designers push through this kind of stupid thinking.

>>14845008

>Many of them did not read [the instruction manual] and the few that did stopped after the first page which did not cover any of the game mechanics.

>game mechanics

My faith in humanity has not yet dropped so low that I can bring myself to believe people can't figure out what two giant red fucking buttons on a controller do.

>>14845062

non-linear/open world games are usually shit and the best games are all games which have a linear design meant to deliver unique challenges which progressively test the player on increasing challenges over time. Open world/non-linear games can't rely on the player to have a grasp of those increasing challenges so they never ramp up in difficulty, or if they do its poorly implemented, and they rarely ever have deep mechanics.

it's harder to make a good linear game than it is a "good" open world game. everyone will eat up your shit if it's open world.

What are possible reasons for not being able to change government? I can't even look at the choices, but it won't give me a reason why.

>>14845811

what game are you referring to?

>>14845865

EU4, with the the VeF overhaul and Glory of Byzantium submod. I'm playing as vinland if that affects anything.

>>14845438

>>14845811

What's the government type? It might be a government type that can't change government. Wiki says you can only change within government types, so if you made a government of its own type, well, no governments you can change to. Also, I think you need 100 Admin mana to even check what you can change to.

>>14845888

You can check even if you don't have enough mana or the right tech level. Vinland has standard feudal monarchy.

>>14846132

It's a spinoff of Kaiserreich, so I would assume anything that has to do with that cancerous tumor is gommie shit.

>>14846132

i found the timeline they set for it https://time.graphics/line/63246

i wouldn't have any hope for it to be good.

I've been playing Victoria 2 for almost 300 hours now yet I don't have a real understanding of how economics work. I've read cool stories of anons dumping the market with artificial dye and causing the UK to go bankrupt but I don't know if that's true or not. I'm so shit at industry, even playing Germany I should easily be able to surpass UK in industry but don't.

My brainlet understanding is to make as many factories that you can supply with your RGOs, but even then some factories go bankrupt and don't get their daily needs. I've had a surplus of coal, yet some factories requiring coal didn't get coal.

I"m a ck2 newbie. I started off as a count in ire land and now control all of it. My game was interesting, a crusade established the catholic nordic kingdom of Jerusalem. The huge caliphates called a jihad on the kingdom of Jerusalem and lost. Jerusalem then conquered mecca and converted it to Catholicism.

>>14846268

>>14845935

>>14846234

Anon,just build liquor factories.

>>14846234

Yeah I have nearly 900 hours and I have no idea how the economics work either. I have done things like having a near monopoly on rubber therefore I'm the only nation with tanks.

>>14846281

lel I do but some of them manage to go bankrupt when I have enough resources to supply them I don't get it.

>>14846308

Brilliant strategy, I'm too dumb to think of that. Well I suppose I'll just spam liqour factories.

Another question, how the fuck do I get it running on wine? I have the correct dlls installed through winetricks.

If you couldn't figure out CK2 or Vic2 then it comes as absolutely no surprise that you'd find HoI3 inscrutable. The one thing HoI4 did better was the production line system, otherwise it was dumbed down retardation in every other aspect.

>They are adding fuel in the next dlc

Two years after release and in a DLC holy fucking wow that's a new low even for Parajew.

>>14844739

the thing I hate about HoI3 is the god awful border gore. For example, if you play as Japan, ally Germany, and attack dutch east indies, then once you get enough VPs, it's germany who will get to annex it, since they will hold the capital. Leading to the east indies belonging mainly to Germany with some Japanese blotches. And it's like that with everything.

>>14846405

You can open up the console window with ~ and give yourself any province you want. That's what I do to prevent that while fighting a war. I forgot what the commands were, but they're up online.

>>14846121

The funny thing is, for a brief period of time I thought Kaiserreich is just another German fanwank with them winning the war in the most absurd way, but it's much, much worse. Even in the DH version Syndies are insanely powerful. HoI IV is even worse. They actually patch out viable strategies for going nationalist.

>>14846400

It's bullshit. My 2 year old brother can finish the first level of Super Mario.

>>14845062

I think a lot of anons here are just being edgy and / or contrarian, the video does have a few good points. As a whole I don't agree with it, especially the bits about simplifying games (and I dislike Extra Credits with a passion), but it is true that just dumping a bunch of stuff on the player up-front at the start is bad design since players have no way of understanding the data. Just taking a big choice and spreading it out to make it more manageable, like through a tutorial, does not take away any complexity of the game and is overall a better approach.

>>14845826

Fuck off cuckchan.

Any one of you guys have a link to the latest Elder Kings update? The mod author made it so you need to have a Parajew account and link it to your steam account. I don't have either.

>>14846688

Yeah, but with how many provinces there are in HoI3, that's a goodamn bitch to do. Not to mention this shit should be handled by event and decisions. Lack of flavour in HoI3 is what makes it inferior to DH, where such things are usually handled (for example divving Greece with your allies)

>>14847066

You damn lazy fuck. Spend 10 seconds on a search engine and you would know you are wrong.

>>14847089

I did. That's the info I'm getting from the ModDB page and the mod author page. I'll just need to dial back my version then.

>>14847146

There is no newer version than the one on moddb.

>>14847168

Wrong. There's actually version compatible with 2.8 patch but you have to install SVN to get it. The ModDB version is for 2.6 patch.

>>14846987

Perhaps but /v/ is nothing if not prone to hyperbole.

I firmly believe Paradox hires non-swedes like Wiz and DDRJake purely to help raise the average testosterone in their lead roles towards soyboy levels.

Unfortunately Johan both has enough seniority and is autistic enough to stay as a face of the studio since he doesn't understand how awful he is at it and no one can really point it out to him.

>Uh, yeah, you collect money.

>No, no. I mean like… you know… good boy points!

And then no one was able to say she is wrong, because it would be illegal in Sweden, and so mana points were born.

>>14848496

>watch their podcasts

Why do you expect anyone else to put himself through it?

>>14848516

i watch all kinds of podcasts when i play their games cause its a lot of waiting and it gets boring

Anyone got the Fourmmods patebin? Current one is dead.

I can get all HOI3 ones if needed

>>14846373

No all you really need is to control all of Central and I think also Western Africa. The South America and other places where rubber is created isn't too much to threatened you, but you can take those colonies if you want a tighter grip on the market.

>>14848496

In that case they could at least make a full-fledged game (so no visual expansion packs and all religions/cultures/government types are included) and then maybe make large-scale DLCs that actually add something big enough that it deserves money. Something like adding the Indian subcontinent in CK2 for example.

I mean, I won't be giving them money regardless but I think other people who would normally not buy their shit because they're not interested in hundreds worth of DLCs would be more eager to buy their products if they were fun on their own.

>>14848489

I wouldn't be surprised in a slightest if Paradox gutted EUIV / HoI IV / Stellaris to appease the female gamer demographic, no matter how small and irrelevant it is to the bigger grand strategy games market. Devs do that kind of shit now. They are fully aware they grabbed their male customers by the balls.

>>14848807

>10:1 respectful cucks vs vucks

>>14848681

yeah i agree, especially since they add dlc's that radically change the game and make it unplayable without

>>14848689

This made me think. I know a one, a supposedly smart one, that plays Civilization V. Asked her what she likes. She started talking about how much choice there is in the game. Asked her about specific mechanics. She got a little uncomfortable, but after pushing her a little she started saying how different each character is, each religion and stuff like that. And on a surface level, sure, they are different, but she says that this makes the game so interesting. The freedom of their variety. But basically you get stuck into them. You are free to choose one, if you are not playing on random, but if you want to be optimal you get predetermined playstyle. That's not freedom. You lock yourself into. I myself back when I played Civilization V often played without getting that locked into the good sides of my characters. In fact I would try to do things that they are not good at.

This fucking woman thinking made modern video game perk system flash through my eyes. The illusion of making a choice and going down some path. Did women create perk systems? Is it possible? Could have women ruined video games in ways we haven't even realized?

Am I getting paranoid?

Tanks are better than infantry; bombers, modern fighters and future forces are better than artillery.

>I thought tanks acted as cavalry in regular vicky.

In regular vicky they act like a combination of guards and engineers.

>>14849968

No wonder my combined arms army or infantry, artillery, fighters and tanks got steamrolled by the soviets then.

The hard way I learned that in CK2 holding more than two duchies is very bad for a king. What about kingdoms as an emperor? There doesn't seem to be limited, but giving then away increases the levies from your vassals by a lot. Anything else?

>>14849987

Simple, dont create any kingdoms until you can make viceroyalties, then hand them over to friendly vassals.

I would only recommend you hold yourself the kingdom of the area where your capital is (for example, king of greece if youre the byzantine emperor) to make sure youre core area isnt getting snipped by crafty vassals.

>>14849976

Forgot to mention that you need more tanks than other units. Tanks are better in the front row and other units in the back row.

>>14850063

What's a good meme for making money?

>>14850069

>>14850069

Postan again because the last thread died before I could get a response: I decided to go for a Carlist Spain run (HFM + Anon's Edits), only for the Carlist rebels to just up and vanish before the first month is out. So edit anon might want to look into that, unless it's some cache nonsense on my end.

>>14850683

>carlists fail in spain even when the god hand wants them to win

How typicial.

>>14850683

HFM anon here, I don't think I ever modified the events pertaining Carlist Spain. Did a quick run and got and event to side with Carlos and the rebels disappeared within a few months (since their cause is no longer applicable.)

Are you missing that event?

>>14850749

When is it supposed to fire, and where would I find the event ID?

>>14849968

>bombers, modern fighters and future forces are better than artillery.

Really? I have best results with tank frontline and artillery backline.

I guess drones are better later on but they take two years to make.

>>14850847

It should fire on the first day. It's the decision whether to stay normal Spain or go Carlist. If you go Carlist the rebels disappear.

id = 37711 in SPAFlavor in HFM

>>14851510

Alright, the event is there, but it didn't fire when I started a Spain Campaign. I'll try a fresh install/nuking the cache, and see where that gets me.

>>14836786

This UI is horrendous.

>>14849987

>What about kingdoms as an emperor? There doesn't seem to be limited

They aren't but vassals that hold duchies inside the kingdom will get a "desires the kingdom of …" opinion modifier.

>>14841908

This. Bulgars are more Greek/Thracian than Slavic.

>>14852646

they're a mix of steppeniggers, greeks, and some slavs.

>>14845980

You can play as a Fascist through Natsynds, Maximists and Sorelians. Georges Sorel is credited as the ideological father of Fascist thought, after all. It was him that fused Syndicalist ideals with Maurassian nationalism, from which Mussolini, who's been quoted saying that he owes everything to Sorel, was inspired to create the model of Corporatism.

Falangism is otherwise known as national Syndicalism, precisely because of its Sorelian essence. The only form of Fascism that can be described as distinct from Sorelianism would be Hitlerian (not Strasserite) Natsoc.

>>14845980

>>14852672

There's also the fact that Sorel literally equated Capitalism with international Jewry, and wrote extensively against them.

>>14852664

You forgot gypsies.

>>14852734

Do bulgarians actually breed with those? As far as I know, most places gypsies inhabitate definitely do not mix with them.

>>14851727

The best units will always be artillery or planes.

Tanks are very mildly better than infantry but it's not really worth the effort at all.

>>14852790

Very rarely with some of the more integrated ones, but as a whole no. Even the more integrated ones mostly just end up with other gypsies. Gypsies were a late introduction and back then definitely no one at all mixed with them so it is not like they have impacted the gene pool in any way.

Should Victoria 2 start at 1815 right after the Congress of Vienna? Maybe at 1821?

Why are halfchanners always so spurgy about our pastebin? Why do they even come here?

>>14855516

Can't you see that Paradox spearheads innovation? More = better, so each new Paradox game will have more Mana than the last one. Can't wait for Victoria 3, where there will be no pops, only mana counters that you can use to magically create new factories (how well they do will also depend on mana – you send mana in, you get money out. Simple.)

In general? Look at it. It's cluttered as fuck. Everything is a button or a number or both.

>>14858580

It's from the Italy mod integrated into MEIOU. When you get big enough the unlawful territory modifier is set on all newly conquered territory in Italy.

>>14859523

3,5/4 of that can be taken away. I was trying to make a point.

Napels having the unlawful HRE territory while being outside of the HRE.

>>14859540

Are the HoI4 dlc even worth the download?

>>14860264

Maybe PDM if they haven't fucked it up yet.

>>14860343

Just play HOI3 if you want to satify your armchair general. HOI4 pales in comparision cause they dumbed it down for normfags

>>14860343

Just play HoI2:DH for 10$. The thing is cheap, balanced, plays well, has god tier soundtrack and above else adds as little shekels into the parajew's pocket as possible while tipping the hat to the original guys that made it.

Case closed. When you have no ideas on your own due to lol women quotas, just rip it off from games that these gamer strategy gurls play.

And Civ is good for the niche they serve to. Gsg won't go well with these heavily abbreviated civ concepts.

Carlist anon here again, I figured it out, and boy am I feeling stupid. Turns out using a map mod borked the Carlist War entirely, and toggling it off was all I needed to fix it.

Heirs to Aquitania is pretty good.

>>14851787

Good stuff. I only use tariffs in the beginning of the game and set little tax when I'm playing a poor country.

Is there a cheat sheet to chain factories?

Is there a mod to cure the boring endgame of eu4?

Also is there mod for more ancient Rome setting?

Thanks

>>14862641

the what now?

>>14860581

I must admit I don't fully get "it". Care to explain?

>>14863789

because historically romans copy and paste thier god with any culture they would find so to make it similar and avoid stupid wars when inglobating new cultures in their empire thats why romans gods are so similar with greek, egyptsome gods at least norsemainly minor gods and demigods…with some sporadic muse

>>14862852

>Also is there mod for more ancient Rome setting?

Imperium universalis.

>>14864187

Romans were just clever fucks.

>>14862720

Looks interesting. Any idea if this is still being updated. From the github, it looks like the last commit was over 2 years ago.

>>14863789

Basically this >>14864187.

They had entire religious bodies that identified foreign Gods with their own and approved them. f.e. Jupiter=Zeus therefore we cool.

If it was a completely foreign one, they just added it to the roster. F.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Baths_%28Bath%29#Museum

This is where the sainthood in the Catholic Church originates from.

And this was also one of the biggest if not the most important reason that pushed Jews towards constant revolt and Romans clamping down on them with the b& hammer.

The monotheistic God was completely against the established Temple rules and therefore against one of the pillars of the Roman Empire that maintained the Pax Romana.

Little did they know.

>>14865746

The map looks like hot garbage and the UI looks like a bad clone of Aurora 4x.

Archive is gone, and where can I get the modern day mod for Victoria 2?

>>14864187

>>14865295

apparently this was a response to similar criticsism that got a thumbs up from Jonan.

"That could be "Hellenic Roman" as opposed to "Christian Roman", "Buddhist Roman", "Zoroastrian Roman" or whatever else. And of course as opposed to "Hellenic Greek" (or whatever divisions of Greek they decide to use), "Hellenic Egyptian", or "Hellenic Briton".

It'd allow for situations where a group is being absorbed into the State without having a weird situation where one day everyone is wandering around in tunic and trousers, carrying spears and figure eight shields, living in wood, stone, and daub longhouses, worshipping Lugh only to wake up the next day in togas, armed with a gladius, sputum, and plum, living in villas and oppidia, and worshipping Mars. Basically it'd let the shift be more gentle, so that the culture shift and the religious shift don't have to be identical, but can be staggered (either way). I'd think this would work well with some of the Roman approaches of just outright absorbing religious cults, or tolerating non-Hellenic gods and worship, provided that the absorbed cult would agree that "our Thor is your Jupiter" or whatever the surface relationship was. Then they could get around to instilling the "proper" rites on a separate level to getting the locals to dress, act, and think like a Roman.

After all, a man's gods are largely his business provided he'll sacrifice to the relevant Roman gods as well."

Isn't there a much simpler explanation for why religions aren't quite right for how they would have been in the early Roman Republic? Johan is copypasting the Hellenic faith in CK2 and EU4 for historic characters and events.

In those games, it makes some sense for Hellenism to be a catchall well after the Romans integrate the Greek pantheon after conquering the Greeks, as depicted here >>14866460. Not so much before Rome has even touched the Adriatic Sea, as seen originally here >>14836786. It would be much better to have treated this like CK2 melting pot cultures, where Rome has its own simple religion that changes as you conquer the cities of Magna Graecia and Greece proper until you have something that could be called Hellenic religion.

>making gorillion tiny tribes so that the colonization mechanic is no longer needed

So, can we expect tribal blobs to form and contest the might of Rome? Can't wait for "Turdetania" to annex all of Hispania and fuck Rome's shit up, just like in history. Believable worlds!

By the way, there are some small updates to CK2 that RazMar hasn't put to the first post. Don't remember what his reasoning was. Here are some links:

- 2.8.1.1 version provided by iamart http://www105.zippyshare.com/v/RsWq10fQ/file.html

>>14870283

I can already imagine Israel or Judah becoming the Ottomans/Abbasids of this game and conquering half of the world.

>>14870341

I bet they'll portray Carthago as full of niggers.

My copy of Victoria 2 won't update, please post a link to a pirated copy with the latest update.

>>14867038

it means paradox didn't finish that area yet. Most of hispania was like that too a wekk ago.

>>14870283

If Paradox is smart (read: smart), they will introduce some kind of conglomeration mechanic for different regions containing many different like the HRE in EU, so as to be able to give an advantage to these small tribes against to the obvious bonuses Rome will get. Such a system could be easily used for Celtiberian tribes, where the level of organisation in these tribes were comparable to city states and would rely on cooperation but keep their independence in tact. There could involve tribe assimilation mechanics for west Germanic tribes closer to the Rhine to rationalise le blobbing, either reformation into more settled and agrarian societies for east Germans or adaptation of Steppe ways, Phi-Hellenic reforms for Thracian tribes. For more independent factions, intra-politics management.

Of course none of this will happen. They've added 10 quadrillion different peoples, tribes, city states, kingdoms and such for flavour and eye candy. None of these beyond those most well known at the time will be accounted for gameplay wise and the game will be as dogshit as Stellaris.

>>14870943

Why are sardinia and corsica such cute islands?

They are aesthetically perfect.

No anon, this is a SHITTIER version of imperium universalis.

>>14870999

Actually, they have such a system in place. Now brace yourself, because the ingenuity of it will make you speechless. Are you ready? It's the coalition mechanic from EU4. No, really.

>>14872625

Rename Bulgarian to Serbian and we might have a deal, anon.

I've been doing some research on Lebanon, and found out that genetically, Lebanon is mostly Phoenician, even if most inahbitants think themselves Arab. Makes me wish for a mod where you'd make Lebanon go full Phoenician, alphabet and all, and try to restore Carthagian borders.

I did the same with GB. Start a neverending war, peace out quickly and sell to both sides while giving money to the side that is losing.

A question that popped into my mind about vicky 2.

Is there a decision to remove slaves to Liberia instead of fighting the Civil war with USA?

Or removing them after the war?

>>14872754

Lebanese Maronites are the only non-Arabs in Lebanon, and they've been a minority since the civil war.

No Maronites consider themselves Arab.

>>14877388

Actually, Phoenician genes are present in equal amounts in all of Lebanon's population, regardless of religion. It's true, however, that it's mainly the maronites who keep the phoenicianism alive

>>14872754

There is no conceivable way for anyone save for the Maronites (currently 40% of the population) and perhaps the Druze to retain Phoenician roots, given that the Sunnis are almost exclusively Palestinians who arrived after the establishment of Israel as refugees and then proceeded to declare Jihad on the Christian majority, thus turning the most prosperous nation of the middle east into a shithole.

>>14877400

>given that the Sunnis are almost exclusively Palestinians who arrived after the establishment of Israel as refugees

That's not true. The are roughly 3 million muslims in Lebanon. Of that amount, only about 400k are Palestinian
