If this is true they will need to fix their engine so I can see things. I want these games! I just cannot see CA creating something that works well and looks good.

Hard to believe EUIV was 11 years ago.  I've pretty much checked out of Paradox titles completely after the mess that was Vicky 3, though I won't be surprised if I end up caving and buying EUV at some point anyways...  :HideEyes:

This is an ex paradox community manager who i follow for my Aurora 4x advice, and he has a couple of discussions on the upcoming EUV - which despite the first discussion has gone way past rumour and into actual dev logs

Quote from: Gusington on Yesterday at 02:45:59 PMPaying attention to important stuff seems more and more difficult.

I think it's grown more and more difficult for policy makers to pay attention to important stuff because money rules American politics these days, and special interests are extremely well-positioned to use money to influence incumbent politicians. 

I think it's grown more and more difficult for the public to pay attention to important stuff because the Internet mass media algorithms have figured out how to serve us a steady diet of confirmation bias and outrage, so it gets easier and easier to live in our own little information bubble.  That tends to make us overlook information that might tell us that the world is changing and new stuff is becoming important.

Well seeing that empire at war is the best Star Wars game of all time and no chance in hell for that series getting revived, smart play going total war Star Wars.  It will be interesting to see how they do space combat and planet combat, it could be really cool.

 I hope the space combat allows boarding ships with animated boarding battles inside the ships.

 Or space battles that transition to planet battles or orbit to planet battles.

As you can see, total war stars wars will be a big feat.  If they simply cut and paste Star Wars into the total war system, it will be lame.  If they take the time to do it right, it could be epic.

Quote from: JasonPratt on May 17, 2024, 11:36:44 PMWell, I picked up the remaining three DLC at 85% discount thanks to this offer so THERE!  :Nerd:

.......even though I haven't played one second of the other DLC.

or the game.

ever.





I feel like this is a legit investment for the future!  :ThumbsUp:
Steam says I've played a little over 100 hours, but not since 2021.  Didn't know/remember there were DLC. Must be why I felt the game was kind of limited. 

One of my achievements is playing at least 10 turns over any number of playthroughs.  Only 66% have achieved that so don't feel alone at never playing.
