Europa Universalis IV announced

[crazy canuck]

here is the steam notice

We reverted the patch back to 1.30.4 due to technical issues.


//EDIT//

The release of the recent Europa Universalis IV update has clearly been a mistake and has damaged a lot of the faith many of you have. We did not expect that this update would corrupt ironman games or significantly affect multiplayer, and clearly it should have gone through much more testing.

We are reverting the Nakama update, so that going forward people will be playing with the version of Europa Universalis IV that was live before this update, 1.30.4.

We cannot, of course, roll back your saved games if you have already had them corrupted by this update. No reversion can undo problems that have already occurred, but can prevent more people from encountering them.

Before we return to the Nakama update, we intend more extensive testing to better identify any additional problems, and will explore the feasibility of a public beta. We apologize for ruining the Europa Universalis IV experience that so many of you have been having.

All the hours I've put into that game since 2001--I'm gonna ask for a PhD

I wonder if she's a Byzanteen.  She does seem to be staring intently at Constantinople.

We've had a course called Games and History at our history department at the University of Helsinki, and it included Paradox games and others. It's been wildly popular.

She is waiting to see if Hungary will accept her alliance offer.

Now we know the real reason the King of Hungary led the Varna Crusade.

Curiously, in a poorly received dev diary where Johan also mentioned EU4 is too old for substantial changes, he said this on Hearts of Iron and Victoria.

My design-philosophy is "believable worlds", and I much prefer making games like HoI3 and Victoria 2, which are games on top of simulation mechanics. EU4 philosophy was to have some sort of central limitation mechanic which became known as Mana, and that was just too succesful.

Where Vic 3 at?

[Josephus]

I like how he admitted Imperator didn't attract fans from the start:

A dramatic design change for eu4 would be insanely risky right now from both a codebase and a player perspective. If you have basically no players, like we did with Imperator after release, you can take huge gambles.

Watching the Paradox livestream. EU4 will offer a subscription model soon, where you get access to all current and future content for 9.99 or so per month.

10 a month for such an old game? Sounds like they want this experiment to fail.

I would gladly pay $10 a month for HOI4, if they just dropped this DLC nonsense and instead worked on cleaning up that hot mess of a game.

What I don't get is that at that rate you can buy a DLC every or every other month, so there's a good chance you end up paying more in the end.
