Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Finally I will be able to properly do what Gomulka Gierek wanted to do (but fucked up due to hepr derp) and get some nukes for Potatoland.

    Also think of the african shitholes you could LP for maximum lulz. This has massive potential, paradox better deliver.

    So you will be able to play from Rome right through to 1991?

    Just need to get lots of converters to get up and running, but theoretically yeah I suppose you could.

    Unfortunately there's a 1000 year gap between the end of Rome and the start of CK2.

    Finaly some 'what if'.

    I hope next Paradox game will have random map generator and will be fantasy or sci-fi. It would be even better.

    Oh man, this sounds cool.

    Shouldn't be a disaster like Magna Mundi. I haven't played Arsenal of Democracy, but at least the team actually delivered their product.

    Yes, but Rome is still quite present in CK2.

    Also note that this is a joint project (at least it sounds like it from the Pdox forums) between the AoD guys and the Pdox development teams.

    Arsenal of Democracy also has the distinction of having the lowest number of herpaderp features among the HoI2 mod->games. There's no ridiculous bullshit like the mobilization system from Darkest Hour (though to be fair, it doesn't have the enormous engine upgrades either), it's just basically more HoI2 with tweaks, fixes and additions (pretty much the only problem is that some of the resource conversion facilities have fucked up ratios). Though it loses to Darkest Hour precisely because it doesn't have the same robust moddability (and no Kaiserreich).

    I didn't like AoD so I'm a bit pissed off that they will get to do it as the concept is really cool.

    Indeed, we had a few 4x threads were a lot of people expressed interest in a paradox style space game. But which style would be best? There's considerable differences between CK, EU, Vicky and HoI.
