Their games aren't bad. They became huge by focusing on a niche.

The incredibly moddability of their games is a big plus, but also a big jewy move too. Why bother fleshing out the game and making it interesting/historically accurate if you can half ass it and let modders do the rest, FOR FREE?

>>123396090
That's not a valid answer, you keep your game broken because people are forced to understand it by a second mean because it's broken?

It's not a problem if people learn the game without a tutorial so yes it is a valid answer.

No one will take the games seriously, except for the fact that people still buy them and talk about them regardless if there's a tutorial or not.

Not having a tutorial is a non issue.

>>123397157
It is exactly like the original Elite but with great graphics. It has lot of promise but after 25 hours of playing you'll realise that it still needs lot more content to be a rich experience.

I'd compare it to Trucking Simulator - it is relaxing and interesting as such but in the end you'll realise you just wasted few hours doing literally nothing. There is a lot of grind and your own imagination plays a big role there. Most of my gameplay goes into traveling between systems and this is just damn boring - locate blip in hud, aim then warp jump and navigate. Then literally wait few minutes and you arrive to destination, then dock in... Etc ad infininitum.

Get it if it's discounted or if you enjoyed the original Elite. It still needs serious work but at the moment that's the best we have...

Starting a new DW:U game. Here's the rest of the galaxy. 1000 stars in 10x10. I put the two more advanced species that shouldn't get a long in the middle for fun. Pirates are present but weak because they turn to be just fucking annoying and unfun after a while, and the AI seems to suck at dealing with them. My race is the Banoserit: fascist birds that practice eugenics.

Should I exterminate the galaxy or save it from the inevitable invasion from the evil bugpeople in the future, or should I sit back, and manipulate the galaxy into constant warfare and genocide?

This is the only country edit I'm making besides tech and pops, and only to make the game slightly less BELIEVABLE. My shitty lore is that when the 83 year old emperor died with an 8 year old heir in 1824 all the generals seized power and the country was broken.

romanian states were ping-ponged as vassals between neighboring states for 1000 years
that's why they remained relatively independent unlike bulgaria or serbia for example
and that's also why they couldn't do much stuff themselves and had to fight either for the poles, turks, hungarians or russians
the most noteworthy attempt to break this cycle and make a stronk unified state was in 1600 by pic related, after beating the piss out of the turk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_C%C4%83lug%C4%83reni
his unified state lasted for less than a year, since he was attacked by both hungarians and poles(who wanted to keep the fucking balance of power in the region, the fucking leeching cunts) and ultimately assassinated in the same year
now, why were these states so weak in the first place, you know, before the turks, poles, hungarians were powers? Because it's the border/shield between civilization and savagery: mongols, tatars, slavs
where do you put your battlefield? On your own territory? No, you find a place on the borderlands, where people are expendable and development would be harmful to your own peoples and interests
this shit has been going on for 2000 years - the romans didn't go beyond dacia, it was the border, the last mile of civilization
you're welcome for your wall, senpai

you can't compare that situation with the germanic states
you really fucking can't

Woah, I just realized France has cores over all of Iberia, Germany and Britain.

These worlds are getting pretty believable

I can't say more... I have lot to risk, in fact I'm making a huge risk right now. Let's just say one of the big four Youtube streamers has leaked the beta to Reddit. The pedophile.

>>123418480
If only I knew where though! I understand who the youtubers are but I dont know who is the pedophile.

Shen?

>>123418638

I can only think of Shen and Quill and they're both EU4 scrubs that think HOI4 is incredible.

What the best/quickest way to westernize in V2? As in, what reforms should be taken and in what order? Playing HPM, if that matters

>>123418678
No matter who it is, we still need to find a link.

Is HPM multiplayer compatible? My friends want to do a mega campaign but I hate playing vanilla.

Thinking about playing brazil in hoi3, seeing as usa guarantees pretty much everyone's independence will they absolutely destroy me

>>123422050
Where can I download HPM?

>>123422346
In the pastebin in the OP

>>123422050
Vanilla is the absolute best for any MP game because the less things the game has, the least the chance of an OOS

>>123422501
robmod is better is it's optimised for multiplayer
