Do you think Paradox could make their first game worth playing in a decade and a half with EU5? I haven't given them a cent since I got EU4 for $5 (I absolutely hated it, the mana system is just infuriating) and haven't given them any real money since I bought CK2 on release (I pirated all the DLC except one I got gifted IIRC.) I occasionally read the "tinto talks" for "project Caesar" which if it isn't EU5 may as well be. I haven't kept up for half a year or so and recalled that it existed today. I can't think of anything negative I've seen about it. Lörs?

I play eu 4 modded with meiou , people in that comunity are positive about next iteration that gives me hope On other hand autistic market is small why would they try to appeal to that?

Possibly but it'll be subscription based.

I wouldn't trust paradox to flush a toilet much less make a half decent game

>>25650182 You accumulate three different kinds of power in your kingdom every month you can spend on various improvements. It's pretty silly, because you can turn any backwater village into a metropolis in an instant by spending abstract points.

All of their games have simply been reskinned iterations of the previous game. The quality of the gameplay has only gone downhill with EU3 being the peak. Ck2 was just eu4 reskinned, imperator rome was just ck2 reskinned, ck3 was just imperator rome reskinned, vicky 3 was just ck3 reskinned, and EU5 will now be vicky 3 reskinned.

Why are chuds so smug about pirating games they play for hundreds of hours? Why are they even outright hostile to the developers and the company that produce these games? I just got the DLC for EU4 when they were on sale and was done with it.

it will be garbage the last good generation was vicky 2, ck2 and eu3 and ck2 got destroyed by dlcs into being worse than what it originally was. i vividly remember ai being able to raise 2-3x more troops in early versions of the game. basically paradox loves adding dlc bloat which ai cant use. player needs to press a few buttons in correct order to get a minor to mid advantage, and repeat it 20x for each dlc until theyre op

>>25650274 Everything you said is wrong except >The quality of the gameplay has only gone downhill EU4 is like 18 months newer than CK2 btw

>>25650355 It's garbage and a time sink. But I enjoy these games nevertheless. You have to set yourself goals and restraints. Right now I'm trying to become Christian as Egypt and to keep Byzantium alive.

I haven't played a paradox game in years, which should I pirate to see if I still hate them?
