PDOX Games VIII: Communism Will Win

[Sefy the Great]

i was making the CK2 persona thing but then i found out my modifiers give me a whooping -25 vassal opinion.
i am UNPLAYABLE BECAUSE EVERYONE WILL HATE ME.
funny, it's accurate.

Can we ban people from giving themselves the genius, quick or even shrewd traits from this curious exercise in self-reflection? Unless you're your country's well-liked head of state, the next coming of Sun Tzu, Jeff Bezos, the CIA Director, the Pope, or Stephen Hawking's reanimated corpse in disguise, you're not even fucking close to being any of those traits.

Or you could piss off because I graduated Magna Cum Laude from college at the age of 18 and graduated University at age 20 with honors as the youngest of my graduating class. I was also a news consultant for the 2016 election during both the primaries and the presidential election.
I think me giving myself QUICK was fairly humble of me.

I have to agree with WRA, otherwise I'd be crippled by self-doubt for weeks.

To be fair X could have meant a lot of things. X Doubt would have been better.
Besides doubt the truth if you will it doesn't change it.

See, that's a perfect example of being Quick. Obviously that's something that requires intelligence and work ethic. Keep in mind that I may have exaggerated the standards just slightly. People who have actually accomplished something and made a name for themselves should at the very least be considered Shrewd.

And unlike some of the others, I'm not inclined to doubt you. I may not be comfortable sharing my full character sheet, but I'm definitely Trusting.

Try this however, Don't drop a giant rude hate bomb on the thread. I may be an ass but that was just rude beyond all belief. Not to mention part of our persona is our perception of ourselves.

Y'all are really going to make me get my degrees out?

frontier for paradox should nowadays be more 'realism'. no more god like absolute rule of the country, instead you have to set where to sail and after you have got cascade of events.

and the second to hide the values, and add probability to that, so that you have got a move which has got 'fair' chances, or 'few' chances. these two things toghether.

no more armies that you raise each brigade, you 'raise army', whose consistency is by chances and by set of policies of the country; and actors that do on their own.

and you don t move your army, generals will do it, you set the policy. these last are two samples to figure out

That sounds horrible tbh. Just thinking about letting the AI manage stuff on its own while i just set policy sounds like a very, very frustrating time.

agreed. what it sounds like is that Phoenicaea is trying to *ahem*... *shuffling of palm cards*... get rid of micromanaging. plus knowing Paradox AI, you press the button labelled "siege Finland" and they go and fuck around in Crimea.

That sounds disgusting. What I want is the exact opposite. Less realism. More alt-history shenanigance. Reveal every single numerical value out there and preferably publish a detailed manual on each of the underlying systems with algorithms and formulas. And exterminate all AI aid to the player. The player should manage everything.

I am considering streaming a bit of EU IV, any tips on playing while streaming?

They key to popularity seems to be saying racist things, but only sometimes.

Woah, I'm not a WASP, so I am not privileged enough to do such a thing!

Am I the only one who absolutely hates the way Imperator: Rome looks? Like the map gliding like a globe is cool but the whole thing just looks dated and crowded

I dont mind the map and the visuals. But nothing so far has grabbed me that much. I dont have much interest in it.


I know this will sound like such a fucking meme but i wish they announced Vicky 3 instead. Vicky 2 is not my favourite game but it was fun to go back to now and then and i think a modern improved version of it could be great.

Same, I still often play Vicky 2 with HPM

I have checked Victoria 2 out, but personally I like HOI4 more. But maybe because it was one of the first Paradox games, which I discovered. I mean, I also like EU4, and CK2 is okay as well, but I just never got into Stellaris.

Stellaris is starting to loose it's spark with me. i just don't need mental gymnastics every single day of in game time.
VIC2 i joked about hating, with it's annoying intro, slow gameplay and not-very-interesting events (HPM changed that, but still i joke about only playing when i hate myself, even though i do enjoy it.)
HOI4 will never grow old with me. it may grow boring, and i may want to play it just to fuck about with the AI, but it's never really going to go away.
CK2 is something i'm getting "why" boners from new and exciting to my mind, but still I'm kinda stuck. but give me 50 or so hours of playtime and I'll have 9/10 things down pat.
