Can Paradox please rework how empires and stability work in CKIII before adding yet another power struggle minigame?
No. It's easier and cheaper for them to make tacked on mechanics
No, you will buy a $30 flavor pack DLC and will be happy
And why they still haven´t a "fan" outrage worst that CA? Oh right, because they don´t have british buttholes as the principal fanbase.
They switched their target audience. I dont think its sustainable though.
ck3 dwarfs ck2 in player numbers and most "people" that play it treat it as sims not a strategy game
we'll see how EU5 turns out though
>treat it as sims not a strategy game
I mean...it's not like you have a choice.
To be frank, I never understood why people treat CK games as strategies, and not sims. Like... why? It's blatantly a character-centric game, Princess Maker style, and yet so many people get their panties in a twist that this is not an elaborate strategy game. It's like complaining about P&C adventure sucking as a shooter, and only because both of those genres require a mouse.
because ck2 was a lot mechanically deeper than ck3
how? Because you could put 3 generals in an army instead of one? Travel already mogs everything ck2 had.
Not only it really wasn't, but those mechanics were still squarely on characters, not strategy. It's a paper doll game, plain and simple. Always have been. CK1 was the only one that tried to be a strategy game first and foremost, and that mostly due to the limitations of EU2 engine - characters were simply a tacked-on feature, and by mid game completely ignorable. CK2? Characters are your whole gameplay.
>b-but it has a map
Ah yes, the intricate gameplay of map painting, the peak of all strategy games. Especially since CK2 has ALL counties equal due to its mechanics. It literally doesn't matter if you take over bumfrick nowhere in the Shetlands, or a country in Northern Italy - both can be as good.
>Especially since CK2 has ALL counties equal due to its mechanics. It literally doesn't matter if you take over bumfrick nowhere in the Shetlands, or a country in Northern Italy - both can be as good.
Well not quite due to terrain, holdings slots, wonders, holy sites, trade routes, etc.
None of that other than Trade Routes is not represented in CK3 though.
>holdings slots
You know you can get additional ones(up to the maximum) from events right?
>terrain
Barely matters in 2
>wonders
You can build your own
Holding slots and wonders can be gained but they take a long time (especially holding slots) and a good deal of investment, so counties that already have them are more useful to seize. Time is a commodity itself after all.
Some counties are also more useful not just because of the county itself but due to the duchy it is located in.
>ding slots and wonders can be gained but they take a long time
You can turn a complete wilderness into 6 barony county in a span of 50 years, with maxed out prosperity. If you don't have a wonder crammed in every single duchy in your realm by 1300, you are doing something very wrong
Seriously, play this game for longer than 5 minutes
The prosperity even has MTA of 65 years, though it could be reduced a bit. But not enough to fill an entire wilderness barony in 50 years. Higher prosperity would lead to diseases too.
Great Works are on the Province level, not Duchy. Do you even know what you’re talking about? You seem to be confusing them with the duchy buildings from CK3.
Nta, but
> If you don't have a wonder crammed in every single duchy in your realm by 1300
and
>Great Works are on the Province level, not Duchy
Aren't mutually exclusive
It isn’t but the implication is rather clear. It is nonsense to phrase it in such a way unless they were thinking of the duchy buildings from CK3.
>ESL can't read for shit
>Pretends people were wrong to save face
>On an anonymous Tibetan tanka weaving forum
Are you projecting? I’m not ESL.
Why would someone specify duchies in particular? That is a dumb way to build your Great Works unless you are goading the AI to do it for you, a generally terrible idea. Such a particular and stupid statement like that allows anyone with have a brain to understand why the poster was making such a mistake. They just don’t know much about CK2 and are bad at playing it.
>Anon points out wonders are a dime a dozen, and you can easily saturate your realm with them
>HURR NOT ESL, STOP IT PAVLE, I AM WHITE AND YOU DON'T PLAY DURR
Literally everything that isn't pre-defined trade routes can be build everywhere, including new holding slots.Which is why it doesn't matter what holding you take.
Have you played the game for longer than 5 minutes?
>Literally everything that isn't pre-defined trade routes can be build everywhere, including new holding slots.Which is why it doesn't matter what holding you take
The time and money it takes to build something yourself is an investment in and of itself. Something already good in 1000 is better than something that could be good in 1300.
And you are also overlooking Holy Sites again. Unless you play in infinite range, things like how close you are to China can be worth considering too.
It took CA 10+ years from Empire and Rome 2 before the fan outrage. People still consumed the slop over 10 years.
It takes time for people to realize the pot is boiling.
>Implying there wasn't outrage for Empire and especially Rome 2
But then again, you use zoomer-speak, so how could you know, being 5 back then.
Yeah, they got angry. They still kept buying the games, though.
I haven't bought a CA game since shogun 2 and I skipped Empire.
CK is the only ongoing Paradox series with a female (female) audience.
Just reduce the amount of taxes and levies vassals give, which would result in stronger factions
make it more modular instead, from no taxes at all to high
All I want is a CK3 HIP mod.
I had so much fun playing CK2 HIP.
>I wish PDX was a competent dev
... so how many lines you want on that bridge between Europe and North America?
>before adding yet another power struggle minigame
Lol, lmao
It will never happen, say goodbye to well thought out mechanics and interconnected systems
Modern paradox design philosophy is minigames (to always keep the player occupied) and multiplayer focus
lol why on earth would they lie and say he was a woman, Elagabalus was so deranged and demented he ordered his palace guards naked and ranked them by dick size and would regualy get fricked by his slave chariort driver being named "Hierocles's mistress"
Frick off chud he identified as a woman you're on the wrong side of history
Elagabalus or Heliogabalus is the right side
>autogynephilia is now officially the same thing as transsexuality
we got it guys. they're just perverts. can we please go back to 2011 now?
>still no societies
>still no 90% of the cool shit ck2 had
frick paradox.
Societies were fun but people will just point to them as being rpg sims gamey nonsense.
Which they were, but they were still pretty fun.
CK3 is already rpg sims gamey nonsense. It was made like this specifically for the redditors that want to roleplay as fricking their sisters/mothers/animals. God forbid they add a mechanic where there is some kind of pushback against your desires.
yeah
>Societies were fun
What societies did you join? They were barebones as frick unless you were a satanist.
The secret religion ones were ok to try to subvert a country's religion
even if the best way to do it was to make AI the head of the cult
Secret Religion ones were the worst ones because of how stupidly the AI handled them.
Well okay, maybe not as bad as Satanists.
It's ironic that the satanist society is historical. Back when it was released we all thought it was ridiculous.
Here's mods that fix the feminist revisionsm:
