New P'dox affiliated release - For The Glory

[Faeelin]

Sigh. With AGCEEP the game is absolutely spectacular. It's a pity they didn't bother to use a new map, because the map which does not have AGCEEP is also spectacular.

Even if it decided that Silesian, Rhenish, Westphalian, Bavarian, and Plattsdeutsch are all as differen from each other as the Han and Irish.

Spectacular is in the eye of the beholder.

Okay, your product sucks and you fail at life?

Don't know what that's about.

Anyway, I try to use those new maps and I can't. I cringe.

Eh, even that one is sooo much better than the EUIII map.  I'd forgotten just how good it looked in comparison.

You know, the screenies of the map shots on the box for the original EU were a very large part of what got me to by the game (I had never heard of it when I saw it on store shelves).  I'm fairly sure that screenshots of the EUIII map wouldn't have convinced me to buy it, even out of the bargain bin, if I'd never heard of the series.

Fine, 50% off at steam dropped the price to what I found reasonable.

Why are all digital dowloads such a hassle? I don't want any third party crap just a simple .iso-file, is that so wrong?

Someone with your kind of ancient internet experience finds digital dl a hassle? :O

Actually for smaller games i like it, just for big ones i still prefer iso/dvds

Fuck the Fall of the City of Victory Event for Vijayanagar.  I forgot it existed, and it's fucking bullshit anyway.  30% RR.

[Fate]

Yeah, I always disliked the heavy handed RR approach taken by the AGCEEP. Ming China is especially frustrating with all of the long duration high RR events in certain provinces that you can't do anything about (besides gutting the event file!)...

That was the situation in China in vanilla, too.

Well, not just in China when you're talkning about events railroading the game.  The insane and persistant high revolt risk in China was quite unusual--Japan had it bad, too, but not that bad.

Complaints about the overly deterministic events in EUII are apparantly largely what lead Paradox to the "situational" event structure in EUIII, which most people seem to think went too far in the other direction, at least before the expansions.

Yeah.  I personally wanted them to convert all the EUII events (at least the non-flavor ones) to situational ones, but we didn't get as much of that.
