PDOX Games VIII: Communism Will Win

[Bralia]

This is the kind of EUIV Dev Diary I like to see. Super large and super dense. I don't actually even have time to read it right now, so I'm just going to make the tagline the release date: 1.29 releases in precisely a week.

Soo it basically made China less boring and less explosion

Less boring and MORE explosion.

Playing as Ming may no longer suck?

Sounds like it.

Among other things, Vichy France is getting a new color in the next HoI4 update.

The way they are handling the upcoming dlc is bothersome.

Italy update should have been in Man The Guns, and Soviets should be overhauled this update too.

Who says they aren't going for both of those?

They already said the soviets weren't getting reworked in this dlc. They'll save it next time for a $20 dlc.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Italy and the USSR should have been reworked already come on.

[Bralia]

The upcoming plans for Stellaris are going to be revealed at PDXCon. Until then, here's a technical dev diary on UX design.

My Spanish Empire

Playing as Spain and so far have taken most of Western Africa, North Africa, Australia/NZ, all of the Philippines Mexico, all the Caribbean and most of the East Coast of America along with Columbia. In Europe i've stayed rather compact I guess, only expanding into Italy, Southern France and voring Portugal. I plan on expanding into Ming to get them to fall over the edge, still gotta find some way to quickly get their mandate down since releasing new countries doesn't seem to be doing much. On another note I swear to Christ if those Papua New Guinea fucks burn another goddamn colony to the ground im gonna have to just burn the whole island to the ground. I've tried to land there four separate times and the colonies keep getting burned. I dont want to have to ship a stack all the way to Indonesia to clear them out.

I'm quite pleased that the Tang are leading in the polls, as they should.

Is it really any different from how they normally handle it.

Yeah, Paradox just frontloads every game with hundreds of dollars of DLC then every few years or so they drop a new installment to reset the clock. Its mildly irritating but as long as people buy into it they will keep doing it. I think EU4 is on its like, 10th DLC or something

Go you spiteful people! Never change.

Yeah, Death or Dishonor gave us new focus trees and wasn't $20. Wanking The Tiger Tank reworked Japan, China, and Germany. Man The Guns reworked the UK and US but gave the Dutch and for some reason Mexico a tree. Benelux should have been done all at once or done in the France rework. For a DLC called Man The Guns it certainly ignored Italy who's only competent branch was their Navy and still has the worst Focus Tree.

They seem to be arbitrarily reworking and giving out new focus trees instead of fixing the existing bad ones.
Also Man The Guns hasn't gone on sale since being released and that's a fucking crime.

I think my brain hemorrhaged all knowledge of Chinese history the instant I left school. I know nothing beyond the stagnant Ming empire in EUIV and the experiences of Victoria 2 Qing.

Tang brought China to its biggest, therefore best China

All we were taught was the destruction of Qing China by the Europeans. I still haven't memorized every dynasty or really any relevant knowledge of Pre-Maoist China.

Tang brought China to its biggest, therefore best China

Weren't the Qing larger given that they owned Mongolia, Tibet, and what we call South East Russia today?

Oh yeah, I guess thats true. Whoops. Technically the Yuan Dynasty had the most land but still. Vote Tang

I don't think I learned any Chinese history in school...

I did, they glossed over it though, mainly because high schoolers usually give a fuck about ancient China.

Let's be honest though. The only thing high schoolers give a fuck about is literally fucking. That and alcohol and drugs (if you are into that sort of stuff) and games and sports and literally everything other than school. I was top of my class consistently and even I only went to school because it was easier than being nagged at by everyone.

I mean for people who actually cared for history. China's usually not their focus.

[Ism]

Song is best dynasty.

[Abserdia]

I voted for Song only because I think they were okay?
Maybe?
I dunno?
I know nothing about Imperial China.
