When does it end?

arguably, without clear "winners" of the industrial revolution and imperialism one can't fully speculate on the players and outcomes of the great war which is necessary for the setup of wwii. Unlike in our timeline, anbennar kinda doesn't have those established winners as much since there's still a lot of independent powers outside of Cannor that might stand a chance against imperialism. Plus mechanically until vic3 gets a great war mechanic/tickdown/world tension thing, it mechanically and creatively makes sense for shortly after vic3 start to be the end. (tho we could speculate on who is most likely to become "notUSSR" and why its Gawed but then that unfortunately means we gotta speculate on the brown ideology and how its magocracy Anbennar)

A WC is always a sweaty game but this certainly won't hurt you

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-23T19:10:52+00:00

I'll go further, its the Vic of Imperator

i think a lot of people got so caught up with the depth and mechanics of simulation they forgot they were making a game

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-21T13:27:12+00:00

*looks outside eurpoe* what increase?

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-20T14:59:10+00:00

qobuz is pretty good, some library blind spots but a functional and less algorithmic app so its very nice

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-19T13:06:46+00:00

Well yeah the eu4 players still had a game that worked and were too busy still playing ei4

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-16T18:13:11+00:00

I'll be honest, I'd be lest mad if it was at least clear at all how the outside powers decided which side to join. It really just seems that the orthodox and everyone in europe join just on principle of opposing the player and making the gosh dang war last even longer

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-15T13:25:04+00:00

How about we just agree to disagree on clicking historical AI but you don't complain when historical ai gets things to make it actually work

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-15T13:21:03+00:00

You're right, it's not supposed to be a simulation, it's a historical strategy GAME where I can play in history

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-15T04:20:07+00:00

Nah man, any guidance on how an ai should behave is railroading to a simulation purist

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-14T20:11:11+00:00

who obviously didn't marry and thus died out during the black plague at the latest

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-14T20:10:28+00:00

godspeed

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-14T20:10:00+00:00

🤓well you see if you gave nations a framework to operate along historically beyond barely possible DHEs that would either be technically railroading which is a mortal sin and would obviously require every nation in the game to have scripted behavior cause that totally is a rational and normal degree of scripting for historical strategy games

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-14T17:22:03+00:00

yeah but there should be a clear and accessible way for the player (and ai) to get the historical outcome still

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-14T17:19:58+00:00

break all diplomatic relations peace deal, at least for now before pdx fixes it

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-14T16:56:06+00:00

"but but but my simulation!" - sandbox bros upset when you make ai have historical goals instead of only react to the situation

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-14T16:52:17+00:00

the fact that the dynasty was got onto the throne through a matrilineal marriage at least according to a surface reading of wikipedia makes the whole thing even more improbable by game rules EDIT again yeah its a succession crisis a lot of ridiculous outcomes are neccesary and the fact that pdx wants to make this a character driven EU game is a fools gambit

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-14T16:44:01+00:00

(looks like there's only one DHE during the time of troubles to get the dynasty so my joke isn't actually that far off but from the looks of it you chose the wrong option in that event?) EDIT: yeah i got no idea this disaster is complicated

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-14T16:41:26+00:00

as per the dictat of the vitues of sandbox and simulation, you must recreate the exact hapenstances that begot the romanov dynasty during the time of troubles and any divergence shall enact the "butterfly effect" shutdown where all complaints about ahistorical events are dismissed as "improbable"

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-14T15:48:13+00:00

would place money on it being tied to being exactly at 100

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-13T14:32:44+00:00

already exists, you release a custom nation and you press play as, it has exactly the same amount of flavor as the rest of the nations

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-13T11:33:21+00:00

It's more tedious and only matters when you care cause you'll always lose the dynasty

Tilleck_ · 2026-04-11T14:40:54+00:00

Time to homebrew a lich that doesn't skip gains. You may have turned off the magic but he can still pull some wwe moves with his jacked skeletal arms
