Good joke

Johan did it. The madman, he actually came back from being pushed out of the company leadership and delegated to a semi-retirement home in the coast of Spain, only to make the BEST game paradox has released in years.

How will Wizz cope now? Why would ANYONE play Victoria 3 over EU5 now, when you get a game with better mechanics AND a longer timespan?

>>2217617
Extended timeline might actually be dope in eu5

>>2217617
I agree, to think it's fresh out of the oven EU5 is the best pdx game Ive ever played. It's like EU4 with all dlcs but better in every single way. A bit more tweaks and tuning to make it more historical and I am golden

>>2217617
EU5 has the potential to make both CK3 and Vic3 redundant, and thats crazy.

>>2217617
>the BEST game paradox has released in years
That's not an achievement

>>2217690
>CK3
wont happen, I've never realized until some time ago what type of people play 3 over 2 and it confirmed my fears why I do not enjoy it so many years after release
>Vic3
actually possible given state representation and pops, I have a feeling there will be a total conversion mod somewhere down the line

>>2215555
>Company improves and so do their games
Whn

Can you elaborate? I think I know generally what you mean, but maybe you can put it into words better than I could.

CK3 attracted a weird crowd of people wanting to play "strategy" games that are more of a sims-like dress up. What I mean by sims-like, is literally dressing up their rulers and court in different cloths, then watch them interact with each other (that's why there is a major popularity of mods for better looking characters, clothes etc.), but also creating weird, self-insert cultures and religions which pander to their cultural and religious fantasies (which are completely not grounded in the historical context of the game, not sure If I have explained that point well). That is also why paradox panders to that demographic (court room (more dress up), tournaments (more dress up), adding whole of asia (chinese seem to be a really giant proportion of that dress-up crowd), and players coming from CK2 are still dissapointed in the state of the game. They don't want "strategy" and "historical" crowd, they want a dollhouse crowd that is able to create their own scenarios and execute them without any complexity or difficulty along the way - the sims crowd.

Hope I explained that well, but that the observation I have for quite a long time.

Why do the Ottomans shit themselves and go crying home to mommy at the merest mention of Bulgaria?

>>2218409
Inherited behaviour from the Byzantines I guess

>>2218409
BulgARYANS make everyone seeethe.

>>2217930
nta but that is really fucking weird and not what i expected.

>>2215555
It’s funny because all their recent titles without Johan have been 100% ass, and I say this as a CKlard

>>2217501
By not getting involved anymore, yes

Just automate 80% of it and use the rest for institution spread.

>>2221071
>institution spread
How?

>>2221925
Import stuff from market centers that already have present whatever institution you want. Your market center will start getting those institutions.
