Where we dropping, boys?

>>713179307 (OP)
3 years later and vicky 3 is still shit
im not playing this, the devs dont know what the fuck they're doing

>>713179307 (OP)
>the rome game sucks
>vicky 3 sucks
yeah no its a pass from me

>>713179307 (OP)
Still kinda insane that this happened in real life.

>>713179307 (OP)
>ifat
found your moms nation lol

>>713179387
Different team. This one led by Johan and is actually promising.

>>713179307 (OP)
You already know where
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjNpRbNdR7E

>>713179307 (OP)
Probably England or France.

>>713179387
>>713179516
Different teams + Johan is in his redemption arc.

>>713179659
China is too easy to invade once you are in, the steppe has zero population so they just do whatever the local lord tells them, they zerg rushed persia and the rest then swiftly fragmented. Administering an empire for an extended period of time and integrating culture's and peoples is farm more interesting.

>>713179860
But sire, this is the Mongol dynasty of China.
Will you overthrow it and claim the Mandate of Heaven as a native Han dynasty?

>>713179913
>Administering an empire for an extended period of time and integrating culture's and peoples is farm more interesting.
They just integrated them into the soil, that also works very well for a while.

Do the parliament issues just give you benefits with no downside? Like double taxes without any repercussions for squeezing your population dry, no malus to pop growth or prosperity or its equivalent or trade maluses since all the pops' money goes to the government or pissed off pops that will chimp out and revolt because you're taking all their money? Just "dude double your income immediately with this one simple trick lmao"? That's fucking retarded

>>713179921
Sure whatever makes me the boss chink

>>713179307 (OP)
Either Golden Horde, Ethiopia, or Poland.

Maybe Mali or Chagatai if I'm feeling cheeky

>>713179307 (OP)
>Kyiv

>>713179307 (OP)
That Swedish control of Finland looks mighty generous.
Paradox buffing Sweden again?

>>713179307 (OP)
Golden Horde
Total farmoid death
I will conquer all under heaven
I am the scourge of God

>>713179516
>Vicky 3
I'm still upset they fucked up this one up so badly when it was the singular title everybody had been screaming at them for.

>>713180285
Start date is 1337

Seriously, how come the Mongols were so powerful, but we basically never hear anything about them or their legacy?
Is history really written by the victor?

>>713179516
The number 1 reason I stopped playing Vicky 2 was the wrist destroying wackamole that is warfare and they somehow managed to do even worse with the sequel. All they had to do was give us Goy4

>>713180606
Because they genuinely did not leave anything behind, they were a scourge that slaughtered and depopulated Asia and Eastern Europe and built nothing and developed zero culture.

>>713180606
The fuck are you on about, it was basically a tributary system, you pay them their dues and they don't burn down your cities and rape your women, beyond that they didn't build any kind of real centralized control over their dominion, there is no legacy

>>713179659
>a horde of retards on horses against an open field and sparse wooden structures
It's really not all that insane.

>>713179307 (OP)
Waiting for total conversion mods. Vanilla Paradox games suck ass.

>>713179516
vic3 sucks, but ck3 is pretty good now and imperator 2.0 is really good, I trust that eu5 will be good

>>713180584
>Red Turban Rebellions and Chinese shitshow royal rumble in one decade
Can't wait.

Holy shit you guys really need to invest into your marketing.

>>713179307 (OP)
can the uncharted areas be colonized?

>>713181159
Some of them. They said they want the colonization system to be toned down, so you don't see British Congo in 1600 like in EU4

>>713180975
when is

>>713181254
9 hours ago you dumbass

>Imperator: Rome's dev diaries
Around 2018-2019

>>713181340
>>713180975
Screenshots from years ago during I:R release where Johan got his shit pushed in and came back as punished Johan. Bottom pic is true but it depends how puritan you are about what is and isn't mana but gold not being viewed as mana is fine.

>>713180975
Reminder that Imperator flopping mindbroke Johan so hard that he's now doing everything he can to make EU5 a proper sequel to Vicky2

>>713180975
Yeah, he redeems himself now from this shittake he posted in 2018

>>713179307 (OP)
Byzantium. I'm a simple man and want to eat shit for 10 resets in a row.
TOTAL KANTAKOUZENOI EXTERMINATION

>>713179307 (OP)
Nederlands or italy
TOTAL TRADE CONTROLL

>same op every thread
>same screenshots every thread
>same defenses every thread

pdx really needs to hire better shills already you're only making the game seem less appealing over time

>>713179307 (OP)
Tibet.
I like the pain

>>713181250
The power creep will happen with successive dlc's like it did with eu4 where new mechanics or unique missions trees introduced yet more buffs.

Brandenburg --> Prussia --> Germany of course

>>713182372
>The power creep will happen with successive dlc's like eu4
You are like little baby.

>>713179307 (OP)
Mongol Horde's
Random country in HRE
Eastern Roman

>>713179387
This one seems to be actually lead by a competent team, I have a bit of hope. Vicky 3 feels unredeemable at that point

>>713179307 (OP)
Greenland to new world.

>>713181998
God forbid you actually hype for a new Paradox game that looks like it will turn out to be good after all the flops they made.
>but how do you know it will be good
Dev diaries. FYI, we knew I:R, CK3 and Vicky 3 will be shit even before they were released because of dev diaries.

Forming Italy then reclaming the roman empire then march to India and China

Always great fun

>>713182892
the competent team in question

>>713179307 (OP)
The game just looks ugly.
How did they peak with the impeccable Imperator map, then downgrade in every game since?

>>713182995
>shill has to ask himself questions to answer because he knows nobody else will
fucking embarrassing

>>713180606
>but we basically never hear anything about them or their legacy?
because you can't read Russian, Chinese or Persian

>>713183152
T-They're learning from their mistakes

Castille
>unify iberia
>colonize americas
>destroy protestants

>>713180606
because apparently they put all of their stats into fighting and none into culture

>>713179307 (OP)
Sweden solely because my first eu4 campaign was that 10 years ago

>>713183152
Not the same team

>>713185529
Its first thing done by paradox tinto, so it is the same team doing eu5

>>713183087
>start as some italian minor

KINOOOOO

>>713179516
i trust in eu5 too

>>713185756
a studio can have multiple teams inside it

>>713179307 (OP)
Johan... all I want... is alt-his option for Red Turban rebellion tags that will allow us to create a Manichean imperial dynasty... please...

>>713186937
Was Manicheanism relevant enough by that point for this to be possible? I know it had survived but barely in one province.

>>713180115
>Tibet - 1827
>Yuán - Old Mandarin didn't even have the Y initial, it would have been Nguan, Guan or something like that.
>Ashikaga - Ashikanga
>Đại Việt - An Nam and only God knows what in the underlying language since they still used sesquisyllables at the time.

Etc etc etc
Go eat a dick, anon.

>>713186937
You WILL read the Four Books and Five Classics.
You WILL lower taxes to 0.0001%.
You WILL have the taxes paid in rice shipped on temporary rafts re-made every tax season.
You WILL force your generals to use bamboo trees as weapons.
You WILL RETVRN to honorable peasantry, and you will be happy.

>>713180606
Because their legacy is mainly relevant to Central Asia and we don't see much out of that part of the world.

>>713180606
>their legacy?
Right here.

>>713180115
East Slavic hadn't even diverged yet, it's just a current thing.
Dai Viet is an even bigger anachronism though, what's up with that?

>>713180606
> why do I, a man who grew up in the West, only hear about Western history?

>>713187457
>Because their legacy is mainly relevant to Central Asia
The real legacy is going to Astana and every road and landmark being named some variation of Turkestan, Turan, Timur, Ashina etc.
Making those people do European style nationalism at the end of the last century was a mistake, really.

>>713179307 (OP)
Grenada

Al-Andalus will be reborn

>>713180115
>>713187592
How is it an anachronism? If anything it would be Kyjev if read phonetically at the time.

>>713187257
For me, it's Nanyue.
