Paradox announces Imperator: Rome

It sounds like Army building will be similar to Europa universalis Rome, which did indeed allow you to construct armies out of specific types of troops.

Will you buy it mate ? No House of Rurik though.

Of course. Why wouldn't I?

Swell...

Not to be mean, but this looks like a primitivised version of PDX games. And, not to be mean once again, more like a Civ, which I don't really like (although enjoyed Beyond Earth a fair bit).

It was only one that was actually good or at least semi-original.

Civilization III is my favorite from the series.

Same here. In fact I got my start in modding on civilization 3.

It is to this day probably one of the games that has sucked the most hours out of my life. Probably somewhere in between Red Alert 2 and Galactic Civilizations 2. Hearts of Iron 3 holds the current record.

Amazing titles all of them. I have played Red Alert 2 and GC 2 extensively. HOI3 Black Ice version of course.
I'm under the impression KAM has also modded CIV series.

[KAM 2150]

I haven't but I played a lot of coop on Civ V I did not like Civ VI though.

[♔Greek Strategos♔]

I did not like Civ VI though.

I'm not surprised.

I have faith in PDX to make a good game. Maybe it will take 2-3 overpriced dlc to make it better but i am ok with that

What if you'll have them for free though ?

[hoho96]

Compared to how much free stuff and continuous support the games get over the many years, I don't mind most of the DLCs.
In Stellaris Plantoids are probably the worst DLC and that adds a shipset and a new race, which is really not much for 10$. However, the great thing with Pdx is that they actually pay attention and learn the correct lessons........> the latest DLC Distant Stars adds a ton of stuff to spice up the game for pretty much the same 10$. The best thing is that with literally each DLC there's a free base game update that fixes/adds stuff.

I couldn't agree more .To be honest according to Greek average salary they maybe be overpriced (compared to any other EU country or USA state) but they are trying their best to give also free awesome content. And they modding support is very very positive!

Me and our friend Anasta will love you till all your beard turn white and you stop eating bacon

[hoho96]

OMG OMG! First few tiny in-engine footage from PDXCon are stunning!
Those are actual footage from the con, not like the bs clickbait happened on few days ago by a certain YTuber.

Indeed.

That'll probably never happen.

Yeah, I'm crazy about Pdx might as well make a new thread where I just keep updating the main post with new stuff as they're released

I think we also have a dedicated thread about Paradox Games in TWC. Check here.

Hrm sort of makes me want to learn how to mod Paradox games...

Parts of it are even easier to mod than CA games, if you ask me. Even I was able to create some mods for personal use in PDX titles.

I surely can take it buddy.

Sporty, boy!

Yeah, BICE They are modding HOI4 as well! Unfortunately, currently, BICE HOI4 isn't working very well, though they will probably fix it this weekend. And then even HOI4 is a good and fun to play game. For now, check out "Total War" mod for HOI4, it's like BICE light...

Yep. I'm aware. Haven't touched HOI4 four some time though. I'm planning to do it though, probably during summer.
