the only DLC out today was from prison architecht!I... I thought Federations was out today.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
And Battletech's!the only DLC out today was from prison architecht!
Sad it was delayed i really wanted it for the holidays. Christmas will be drab this year without PDS DLC to sink my teeth.
And Battletech's!
But yeah, I'm really gonna miss it. Federations sounds so good.
come on don't jinx us! i'll finally be able to play portugal and spain in HOI IVFederations delayed to early 2020.
I guess Laresistance also won't release this year:(
Next Imperator update/free content is out next Tuesday. I kinda worry this game will become actually good and people will continue to not play it.

I only played at launch so my opinion might be outdated. What i think it did well:That's actually a fair point, I have no clue about what this game does differently from other games, besides the historical setting.
I can't remember reading any discussion on the qualities the game may have (besides "that update fixed a lot of the problems it had").
So.... What's good and unique about the game?
I want to specifically mention the map that looks amazing, the animations of zooming in and out as well as the globe rotation are very pleasant.
Now i'm even more impressed!Imperator's map isn't actually globe-shaped by the way. It's just as flat as all the others, but the strictly Northern Hemisphere geography, North-Pole camera-rotation, and a limited Max-Zoom allowed them to create an illusion of it being so.
Strictly speaking, such a technique won't be able to be carried directly in to EUV, or even CK3 depending on how far south its Africa goes. Next Whole-Earth game is probably going to either go back to the EUIV map-model or have to be an actual 3D globe.
Which would actually be really cool - To have the maximum Zoom-Out be of a relatively period-accurate globe-model - Especially paired with the "Paper-Map on Zoom-Out" of Victoria 2 and Imperator paired with it.
Dunno if Game Pass PC still has the offer, but try to sign up and you might get the 3 months for $1 offer. GPPC has Imperator: Rome and HoI4 (and Stellaris), IIRC. And other stuff.I got a new laptop during Black Friday. My old one didn't run CK2 well, but good enough so I could enjoy playing. It also ran EU4, but a little slower. It wouldn't have run any games after that.
Now that I can actually run more games now, I'm looking at the Steam sale. Stellaris is $9.99 and HoI4 is $14.99. I definitely want both games eventually, but not sure if I want both right now. But....I'm seeing a bundle that has Stellaris, HoI4, and I:R for $39.57. Do I just go for it? Or maybe just Stellaris and HoI4? Or maybe just Stellaris and focus on playing that? Then there's a bundle that has Stellaris with Utopia and Apocalypse for $29.97. Too many options lmao.
Edit: Decided to just go with Stellaris at $9.99. Realistically, I can't play all these games in addition to all the non-Paradox games I'm playing. And then there's other things I do on my free time as well. HoI4 will be on sale again and perhaps at $9.99 when I'm actually ready to play it.
YesIs that new update for Imperator out now? I was gonna try it through Game Pass once that hit, but playing an actual copy in a free weekend would be preferable.
Yesterday's Stellaris dev diary about Juggernauts and Mega-Shipyards
TLDR:
Juggernauts are 1-per-empire ships like Colossi, but act more like a battleship bolted to 2 shipyards. They have a couple of X-slots and bunch of hanger slots, and can produce, repair and upgrade ships. It doesn't affect system control or borders like a starbase would though, and are intended as a support vessel for sustained invasions. They also have powerful auras which we're not privy to yet.
Mega Shipyards are megastructures that act as a ton of shipyards and provide a passive build speed bonus to all other shipyards in your empire. The three stages are:
- 10 shipyards, +100XP starting XP, +33% global ship build speed.
- 20 shipyards, +100XP starting XP, +66% global ship build speed.
- 30 shipyards, +100XP starting XP, +100% global ship build speed.
If i have the resources for a juggernaut I think picking subspace amplifier and munitions plant will be more effective as that will allow your fleet to keep moving.So Target Acquisition Array is basically a no-brainer then, if weapons range is still as OP as I remember.

Is there any idea how the subscription work?
5€ a month? Thats more expensive than I thought only for EU4...18 Polish bucks a month for the EU4 subscription according to the EU subreddit.. Google tells me that's 4something dollars/euro. I don't necessarily think it's an awful idea, especially for people like me that just want to play one or two games a year. But it seems weird to launch it at the same time as you're selling basically everything through Humble for ~4 months worth of this sub.
E. Africa, Arabia, India, SEA, China, Japan...Soooo it's 1690. I am Spain. I own (directly) all of the UK, the Western Med, Italy, France, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Constantinople, Anatolia and a huge swathe of Scandinavia and western Russia; I have about 12 vassals/PUs across Europe, making me pre-eminent. I lead the ranks in everything, it's absurd. Never been so powerful. I have NA and SA under control: English (mine via absorbing England in PU) and Spanish colonies only - no other colonisers of note present - will make American conquest an absolute doddle.
I have most of West Africa, so that continent is sorted too.
The kicker is breaking Poland and Lithuania, and then surging east. I am going for my first WC (determined to just get it done, over with, and go back to more fun local games) and I can't really believe I have enough time, but practice makes perfect.
A Mingsplosion makes that much easier.

The true Spanish Empire spirit.One other point, if you get close to the end and feel like you need more money, get every loan possible. Who cares if you're going to go bankrupt, as long as you go bankrupt one day after achieving the WC.
