the hoi4 mod has 12 paragraph-long popups every 2 days that read like "The General sat down at his mahogany desk and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lighting one and taking a long drag before calling the Prime Minister. It was going to be a long night, and the nation couldn't rest."

It's the only thing that vanilla HOI4 did right, like it's fundamentally not a character or narrative-driven game, it's just a waste of time. Just give me a short pop-up written in the style of a news article, or something

TNO is shit for many reasons but this is one of them (but KR and OWB definitely have countries that play like this as well)

CK2 vanilla is also a visual-novel, a really bad one, nothing happens so you make time go faster and then you get PTSD from the constant pop-ups of the same events ("random city prospers, random port gets destroyed") that you don't care.

Funny how people don't get why grand-stategy is a dead genre monopolised by Paratards Nothing-burgers.
>develop a nothing-burger
>get shock that nobody play it and choose CoD ever single year
>repeat
I wonder when will exist a grand-strategy game that's is fun to play because the AI is actually intelligent and cool things happen based in your / AI actions.

People hate HoI4 simps, but CK2 cucks are even worse, somehow.

Why should I care that a game I like doesn't have mass appeal
