>>163455976
The perfect gsg would be procedurally generated. This would be extremely difficult but I think with the right scope and foundational mechanics I think the emergent scenarios and stories could be convincing, more varied than most procedural games (Which are often uncovered to be dreadfully shallow with little replay value).

Actually played around with the idea this summer, but imo the historical route is much more satisfying(like e.g. the reason romania was my first nation in hoi3 was just so I could bomb the shit out of b*dapest); procgen is soulless(and harder).

>One last word for you, Vapourwarelad, SCOPE.
Oh yeah, I've been attempting to finish anything for like 5 years now :^). This is partly the reason why I asked if me posting about it here would be welcome. It would help keep the development going imo(the logic being that of study groups).

>>163457021
>the historical route is much more satisfying
There is the inherent satisfaction of roleplaying as real-world figures/nations and achieving a goal set out for yourself, but sometimes you (or at least I) want a start based on the position you are in vs where you have set your goal, rather than just "being" a certain figure to roleplay as (e.g. "I want to start as a small country surrounded by comparable but bigger states, with a very large empire looming further away but still close enough for medium term concern, which I hope to rival in the future; and I want to have lower tech than the neighbours but have a higher pop density and access to some rare/valuable resources" as opposed to as "I want to start as a Flemish count under medieval France")

>procgen is soulless
Is Dwarf Fortress soulless? Is every 4X soulless? There's never really been any gsg with much focus on an in-depth demographics and the "ideological vision of a nation" aspects, other than Vic2; and where there are games that touch on this even lightly, such as Alpha Centauri or MoO (Especially MoO3, I've always found it to be the most compelling drawing focus of the game.

If the game isn't procgen, but historically based, then you by inevitably leap into the autistic pit of sharks that is historical accuracy and realistic simulation. If you can't build a realistic environment where certain historical starting positions can plausibly lead to a reasonably historical outcome, then you have failed. And the only solution to this is through the duct tape that is scripted event railroading. There's a time and place for that but I think there's potential for games that take a different route.

The Old World wouldn't be visible. Only broad happenings would be simulated and its effects applied to the new world(e.g. some random event triggers that causes England to become hostile towards the French and embargo them, and so they request that you too stop trading with French colonies).

There's no possible way you can force the institutions into your country, pay your troops, get ideas, tech up, pay corruption down, and core land as a country that doesn't receive the institutions instantly or within a year or so.

Does this mean they've fixed the peace deal system? I haven't played since they added in corruption and states and 10 million hoops to jump through to get your allies to actually help you, because waiting 30 years to be able to call an ally into war and then having to wait 30 years after the war to call any other ally into any offensive war because they wanted 4 provinces to your 1 in the peace deal despite doing fuck all really put me off.

And doesn't giving an ally a province in a peace deal give YOU AE, and not the ally? The diplomacy in EU + every other Paradox game is total wank.

>>163476158
The French indeed marched faster that much is true. Their marches have a higher bpm namely 120. Other nations marched at 70-80 paces a minute. The fast march of the French was one of the reasons for napoleons succes because the French had old pre-revolution weaponry.

How the fuck do I unify Russia as bloody Novgorod? Really, Muscovy start with almost double your force limit, not to mention the 3 vassals it has. As Novgorod, you're both a republic and Orthodox, which means no one will want an alliance. To make things worse, pretty much all of your neighbours will rival you, my best bet was allying the Great Horde down there and even then I couldn't really get much off Muscovy. Then they allied Denmark and I felt like I really wasn't advancing and only was only acquiring a larger debt from mercenaries that was getting harder to pay off, so I abandoned that run. Might just do a Russia run off Muscovy if its really not worth the trouble

Hi Rob

>I may need more information. Would it just be "Nazi Germany & Puppets" or would it be a more federated Evropa kinda thing? Give me a feel of it.
More the latter. Goering is the Fuhrer after Himmler and Hitler died. So I'd lean away from SS/Nazi imagery and more towards a Germanic-ish Europa kinda deal.

Also, while its German led, Italy and France are roughly equals, perhaps slightly below. Everyone in Europe besides the UK is part of the community.

Alright, I'll try to think something up. Since Himmler is no longer around I'm guessing runic symbolism would be out the window, right?

>>163483515
I made this for Hitlermod, I think it's rather classy.

Why not make a flag that symbolizes the unity of all the german peoples?
