Also the placeholder thread title it awful. No alliteration, no joke, no innuendo, not even something vaguely offensive that can be excused as coming from these sorts of games. Boo I say, boo.

I finally had a good game of Prussia in EU4.

Only took me realizing that you need to have good relations with Austria so they don't demand unlawful territory =3=

I’m under no obligation to crack jokes. Clearly the last title was one of the best in thread history, considering how long it stuck, so it’s time for someone else to have a shot at the spotlight. I’m very humble like that.

Has the lag issues with Stellaris been sorted out yet? Is it more bearable to play in the late game or does it still run like shit?

Because i want to get back into stellaris but that is the main thing pushing me away from it. And HOI4 ill wait till the next dlc/update drops (better have a soviet rework in it)

The very last patch dealt with performance, iirc. I've seen accounts that say it's quite good now.

Nevermind the Italy rumors, the next one’s prototype name is "Barbarossa," so we can def assume it will have something to do with USSR

I’ll assume along with the USSR, Finland and Poland will be worked on as well. Maybe even Mongolia, to go for a meme focus tree and restore the Mongol Empire. Believe it or not a Russian white army general, Baron von Ungern-Sternberg, tried to get himself in power in Bogd Khanate Mongolia and restore the empire

Cool, might check it out soon then. I know the next update with the nemesis dlc is meant to help with performance too.

I wouldnt mind a Finland focus tree and the Polish one getting a touch up wouldnt be too bad. Mongolia... eh i dont really care either way.

Given that Paradox did a german rework when they did waking the tiger and did mexico in the same dlc as france's rework and the netherlands reworks i would prefer if they stuck Italy into it too instead of leaving it on its own.

Italy is the birthplace of Fascism after all and having it get a rework alongside the USSR would be a nice parallel.

I've just been playing the Anbennar fantasy mod for EUIV really, waiting on the new IR patch mostly honestly.

You can't just say shit like this and expect to get away with not even posting a single screenshot. I demand an account of your Anbennar game(s).

My adventures in Lux Invicta are continuing. Here is Rome currently, also highlighted is LI's anti-blobbing mechanic which is just brutal. I've slowly but steadily been reclaiming the eastern empire but quite a few notable enemies have risen up in the west (primarily Imperium Galliarum and the bin Skawina Khaganate) and those wars are sure to be brutal so I'm looking forward to that.

Great Works for every single Paradox game, I guess. What's next, Gigastructure mod integration for Stellaris?

I think its a great addition, conquering places like Hagia Sophia was a huge point of pride and should be represented in the game in some way

I also like how they took the time to make unique artwork for each wonder
