I'm not worried about this game at all lads, haha, can't wait

We must be mad, literally mad, as a general to be permitting the annual creation of some fifty or so DLCs, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the grand strategy genre. It is like watching a general busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. So insane are we that we actually permit redditors to unrestrictedly comment on the topic of content in DLCs and games that they have never paid for.

Why are people in this general so buttblasted over HOI4?
Is this going to happen every time parajew releases a new title?

Death to the Communist.

yes -- it's the natural cycle

>le two capitals special snowflake nation

>weebs play gsgs
no get out

depends what you mean by buttblasted. if it's the people saying it doesn't belong in the thread, that's just stellaris fans falseflagging because they're upset the general doesn't accept their game as a gsg
if it's everyone shitting on the game for looking like casual garbage, well that's just being realistic.

/gsg/ gets buttblasted because they have high standards and their wishful thinking of an actually competently made GS game gets crushed whenever a new one is released.

It's like hoping for something to be good, only for every single attempt to turn out as a bag of shit. It's frustrating.

>weeb haters play gsgs
no get out

>Why are people in this general so buttblasted over HOI4?
It's a shit game.

>Is this going to happen every time parajew releases a new title?
There wasn't that much opposition to EU4. People shitposted about CK2 a lot but eventually warmed up to it. Victoria 2 on release was one of the worst Paradox games in history and yet it's the default that most people here resort to now.

>gsgs hate to play weebs
no get out

t. buttblasted guarani

Stop inviting shitposting, retard.

nothing lad

Maybe try SSRI meds, I had none of the meme problems with them.

Vanilla victoria is still shit though, the only reason I play victoria 2 over other /gsg/ games is due to the modding community

Maybe so, but a shit grand strategy is still a grand strategy

The only redeeming factor is they got rid of the stupid faction fonts, specifically the faux cyrillic

Does this have porn

>The only redeeming factor is they got rid of the stupid faction fonts, specifically the faux cyrillic
I really wish they would remove those labels from the map entirely. They make the game look so much uglier than it needs to.

Here's another :^)

I've kind of been toying with the idea of starting an open source engine replacement project for Victoria 2. Probably based on HPM instead of vanilla. At least to begin with you would use the original game assets, and try to recreate the hardcoded functionality with ideally improved AI and economy logic. Later on what these engine recreations tend to do is replace the assets so you can decouple the game completely from the original, and start adding new features and depth. I like the idea in theory but idk if it's better than just starting from scratch. I'm probably too lazy to get it actually started, and it would take years to be playable state anyway

Funny how he has to shove his politics into it
Who gives a shit about the German government though? Just don't sell in Germany and tell people to set their steam profiles to be from somewhere else

Lmao

Why are alt-righters so obsessed with gender roles and other peoples sex lives?

Well said, my friend.

t. all successful businessmen ever

How much sales do you think they would lose if they had swastikas in it?
1%?
0%?
What is their integrity & pride & dignity & honor worth to them?

Obviously nothing, as we can see

Are there any decent map mods that work with Beyond Typus? The mod looks rather interesting but I don't want to deal with those hiedous vanilla colours and border lines.

>what are censored versions for the german market

they wouldn't even have to change any textures, it's just fucking 2d art

they are just too lazy/politically correct

Does anybody have Ubik's rebranded Magna Mundi that he "finished" with money from the Portugese government or EU and then accidentally released for free?

>WHY DOES THE COMPANY WANT TO ENTER THIS 90M PEOPLE MARKET FOR MORE PROFIT IT MAKES NO SENSE

Is there even a point to encryption in single player?
The AI probably just cheats anyway.

It's garbage, don't even bother. Try instead the actual mod for EU3.

Exactly it doesn't make sense to do business in Germany, we're on the same side :)

There's like a billion different versions of the mod across several versions of EU3, which do you recommend?

Also whatever happened to Mundus Non Sufficit for EUIV, that was an underdog sort of mod that looked like it was in the same legacy as MM

...

Why would they be putting swastikas in their farming and trucking simulators?

...

Why was this cancelled?

It didn't meet paradoxs """"""""quality"""" assurance

Paradox said it was buggy and would never be fixed or something, dnno
Maybe it was too much better than other paradox games so they killed it

This is the only version I ever managed to get to work, for DW 5.2

mediafire.com/download/ztotc1a2hueoe2a/Magna Mundi DW - Beta 3.7.0 - Complete Version.rar

Development was going slowly because of the ambition of the project and no deadlines were being met in a satisfactory manner, it would have probably needed to come out at the same time as EUIV with how things were going if it wanted to look good, and it's never a good idea to release two games that would directly compete with each other.

We can assume the same thing Happened to EvW with the projected plans for HOI4. Something about the Clausewitz engine makes it difficult to replicate the modding wonders that the FtG, AoD, and Darkest Hour people did with the Europa Engine.

will hoi4 be better or worse than stellaris?

They always cancel subgames better than their own

See EvW

That's easy, because they don't have their own functional sex life and they are insecure around people who don't find into the genderroles they already know and love.

>he says as he posts on /gsg/

I want a grand strategy game where I can play Rhodeisa in the post world war 2 climate. Any suggestions?
