>SuperPower 2 released in 2004 is still the best modern grand strategy game
why is it like this?
Eversim is basically running a scam, releasing the same bug ridden game every year with a price higher than many AAA games
World Warfare and Economics is a fucking joke
Democracy 3 is more a puzzle game than a strategy
is there really no demand for such a game anymore?

Nice try, but that game fucking sucks

>every war devolves into stackwiping your opponent's entire army in one battle
>very detailed map that's based on moving between cities instead of Paradox-like blobs, but completely wasted because of the reason above
>economy bugs out in late game
>no flavor
>UI tries to be sleek and minimalist, but ends up cluttered to shit like in the OP screenshot when it comes to getting information

The only thing it has going for it is being on a globe instead of a map (which isn't that unique anymore since we have things like Gilded Destiny coming up which also use a globe), and the stylistic way that nuclear war is depicted in the game. Being inspired by a movie instead of other vidya helps, but looks only get you so far. But I've also never played multiplayer in this game; judging by the discussions in this game's Steam forums, most fans of this game mainly use it for autistic UN larps, so maybe I've been playing this game wrong when I tried getting into it.

The unique real competitor would be modded vicky 2 and even then the modifier bloat makes it not fun to play as.

Do you think people would really enjoy a modern day mod that had less bloat? I've had some ideas for modding Vicky's map to make it more interesting (mainly just increasing province density in places), if there's demand for a modern day mod that's not bloatmaxxed I can try focusing my modifications around that.

With how bloatmaxxed most mods are for this game, I just figured I'm the only one who wanted "slimmer" mods.

wait, why is my captcha "jew h8"

i'm not saying that SP2 is great, it's just that it's the best of its kind because everything else is shit

>>2062573
You'll eat your microdick when EU5 releases.

>>2062648
EU5's timeframe ends in the early modern period. It covers something completely different than SP2.

Modernity sucks. If I wanted to play it, I would just go outside and set up grannies against each other or something

>>2062490 (OP)
hoi iv millennium dawn mod fills that niche
