Exterminating xenos

What's hoi4 release date?

>

Don't think they have one yet

...

So how the fuck did they release stellaris first anyway?

So is there ANY hope for Stellaris to be better than Distant Worlds?

[Citation needed]

Really?

yes

wew

no

How the fuck do i play DW?

No because DW has a nice economic simulation while stellaris is completely abstract

>a game that actually requires player input

already way better than distant worlds

the mughals somehow lost 70% of their population

Start with everything set to "let the Ai suggest stuff" and only a few thing like taxes on full auto
Don't start in the age of shadows

Plague?

...

So Stellaris has a magical economy system like in CK2 where there's no industries, economic sectors or anything?

You know you don't need to automate shit in DW right?

liver cirrhosis?

pls buy

lads i don't know what's going on with this threadwars but pls upboat my /r/paradoxplaza anti-paradox post i just made.

Sadly, yes

I will be damned

I think there are economic sectors or something similar.

So I just won the invasion of Armenia war in the 1066 start byzantine empire.

What should I do next? Not really looking to restore Rome, but would like to have a solid grip on the middle east before the Mongols come

Why aren't my POPs getting their need met? I don't tax nor tariff them, and I've got a ton of prestige.

Probably war

Tax the poor you socialist bastard

Do they earn enough to buy their shit? Is there shit enough in the market to buy?

They seem to be fine to me.

That's practically mana

>byzantine empire
Seriously hope you started at least as a count

Advancing to the holy land will bring jihad and assassins on your ass
There isn't much to do really, maybe get rid of the pechenegs

The chinese pay my bills for me. :^)

I'm not sure. They should have enough money? How do I ensure that?

What about luxury needs? Don't more of them at the very least get their everyday needs?

>muslims
>cirrhosis

t. Hainan pro

Nah I started as emperor. Just want to get a grip on these empire mechanics

>blobbing in china

>They should have enough money? How do I ensure that?
Techs. Techs help a lot, more productive pops get more money for their work and can buy more stuff
Or social reforms like pensions and minimum wage

You can check the availability of goods in the trade screen

Starting ad and thing about duke most of the times is just a snorefest

Unintentional cirrhosis in liquor factory spill?

Fairly sure you need to drink the shit to have it

Starting as anything above duke

Fuck

Post europe map

How many space colonists do you have?

Yeah I know I usually play something like a count in HRE or grand prince in Russia and then abandon when I become emperor/create Rus. At least with the Byzantines I have Muslims all around me to kick around

t. Bobocrunch

What the fuck do astronauts do again?

This doesn't look half bad

Is ultimate any good?

They go to space fuck around in the ISS

It's fun if you want lategame hyper wars but broken af

Kicking Muslims around is piss easy as an emperor, especially a Byzantine one nigga

Still can't get over that

Does it even work until the end? No catastrophic crashs or anything?

Yeah how dare they not put LIQUOR MANA in the game those Paradox faggots are dumbing down the game for reddit amirite XD

Stannis is dead, too

>everything is mana meme

Well then I cant wait to start building cathedrals in Mecca

They won't? Didn't even Civ IV manage to do that in one of it's prebuilt mods?

Ironic shitposting still is shitposting.

Why the fuck weren't you together?
The mad kind is going to fuck you up

It does but crashes regardless so save oftn.

Mod still any good?

That happens after you win the war. Mad King and Rhaegar were kill.

Wew

No, they won't. They are static
Shit's retarded

r8 my yurop

Yeah, it's pretty good. Never played that scenario, though I'd have a go. This ending was too sad for me. That being said, it did just crash on me.

Fucking why. Why is that so hard? Jesus christ, the worst thing is that maybe I could have missed that but now that you point it out it will drive me insane when I first day pirate it.

>blobhemia
>blobhungary
>iberia
Just like EU3

Not that guy but at least they still put a lot of effort into it

Wiz justified it by saying something along the lines of "it would just annoy people that go around searching for a specific planet because it keeps moving around"

>those Iberian borders

I'd just like to point something out that was said in the other thread

>Constantinople
>largest city in medieval europe by far

Not post 1204, by 1300 it was behind Paris and Venice.

Mother of all Hunary-Lithuanias

Why is the UK not a comfy country to play in Victoria II?

What the fuck is wrong with Lithuania
At least Ottoman empire is pretty

Because there's a lot of shit to do at all times.

>not also having the planets of a certain system be listed on a drop down list that you can get by clicking on the star at the centre of the system
Civ fucking 4 did it years ago, why can't Paradox?

This

Can't you just make it an option in that case?

Hell if I know
Fucking DW has it

They have a fucking fixed orbit it's not like they could just float away

Fuck you can zoom out and find it literally every space game has this shit
