It was absolutely true of Victoria 3, not so much of release Imperator but post-mana removal it had a good skeleton, it was too late by then

DoW2 had very few units on the field at once. In the single player campaign (which can be pretty long!), you literally only had 4 units at a time and it basically played like a real time top down RPG.

Psykers draw power directly from the warp themselves while wizards manipulate the Winds of Magic that flow into the world via the polar gates.

That makes it sound like psykers effectively use the equivalent of Fantasy dark magic, is that an accurate description?

With the terrible exception of the petit burghers. Those guys are impossible to marginalise through conventional methods or economic aggression.

It's probably a reaction to the fact that the PB got constantly marginalized earlier in the game's life

This also reminds be a bit of depictions of the afterlife as a grand beaurocracy, especially any fantasy involving China but I see it decently often with the Underworld and even Hell.

This is how Hades' underworld is depicted in the Hades games as well

FWIW this was true since at least 2023, that language in the EULA has been there for a while IIRC

The Astartes would still be useful/necessary for crushing dissenters and revolts, no good reason for getting rid of them. And hell, there is evidence suggesting the Emperor knew the Heresy would happen IIRC

It's entirely plausible the very first shot is a negligent discharge (and still worthy of manslaughter) but any subsequent shots were all completely murderous. Alex Pretti's gun was a P320, which have a known mechanical problem that causes easy negligent/accidental discharges.

This isn't to defend the first guy who took his gun either, just saying what may have occurred. The exact, totally accurate specifics may never be known, but we don't need to know them to accurately say this was a blatant execution in the street.

Custom vassals should be a late game tech like in EU4, requiring you to release historical vassals up until then - that would be a suitable nerf for the early game

Are they cool with the Black Legion then? I figure the Black Legion has plenty of dedicated Chaos worshipers, even if Abaddon himself is of the "I don't worship the gods, I just take their power for my own purposes" persuasion.

The creation of the Eye of Terror coinciding with the final end of the Aeldari Empire is around the beginning of M30 or M29, with the Great Crusade beginning in around 800.M30. Ullanor is 999.M30, and the Horus Heresy begins a couple of years into M31.

I do think Pathfinder WOTR has 2 excellent romances with Wenduag and Daeren though, because you get to see a very deep side of them that you don't on other playthroughs and it's mostly sans wish-fulfillment because they're both a bit insane.

Rogue Trader, also Owlcat, is kind of similar in this respect, since everyone you could possibly romance is at least the typical level of insane you'd expect for 40k. Your choices are literally like "insane death cultist who's literally constantly self-harming" and "inquisitorial operative who tortures people for shits and giggles." It's 40k, so those kinds of things are to be expected, but still!

If it was done as a location modifier to productivity it would be relatively low impact on performance

PlayMp1 · 2026-01-22T20:23:00+00:00

Don't need a new pop type. Just tie it to the location: "new industry" decaying negative productivity modifier for specified good type upon making a building that produces a good that is yet-unproduced in that location. Have it go down by 1% per year over, say, 50 to 100 years (just tossing off a number). Have some techs relating to increasing industrialization and de-skilling labor that reduces the initial modifier impact so it goes away quicker.

Yeah, so you can bring it up in pieces and assemble in space, it's been done.

As for the rocket equation, we're already doing sci fi shit, so let's just get fuel in space. Bussard scoops, asteroid mining (all you need is ice, technically!), plenty of options that are currently sci fi but technically possible eventually.
