A GC to end all GCs?

[SeedSnatcher]

With the announcement of the Revolutions expansion pack for Victoria, and the fact that you can convert EU2 saves to Victoria, albeit with a 3rd party program, and now the ability to go from Vicky to HoI2: DD, could one go from 1066-1820, and then 1835-1953? Imagine taking a nation through almost all of the 2nd millenium! Quite a doozy. :wacko: But back to my question, could someone conceivably do it?

 

[Sovereign]

Yes.

But by the time you got to the Doomsday stage of the game, the world would be a very ahistorical place. Mind you, I'd be all for that.

 

[SeedSnatcher]

That'd be part of the goal, to fight the most ahistorical WW2, then possibly have a nonexistant Cold War. Although, seeing as how it covers the longest time period, EU2 would probably be the turning point of ahistoricalness. Someone has got to do an AAR on this, I'd love to, but I lack CK, Vicky, and DD.

 

[Duke of Wellington]

CK tends to end up very a historical too. I know people have begun such AARs but they seem to die out after not that long.

 

[SeedSnatcher]

I'm not surprised, I'd imagine it either nerve-wracking or just plain boring after awhile. If a human player dominates near the last 3rd of the game in EU2, imagine the boredom of a game that lasts just about 872 years?

 

[Duke of Wellington]

I think thats the general problem. People can dominate Europe in CK. If you already dominate Europe by the start of EU2 then theres not much challenge left.

 

[SeedSnatcher]

I keep forgetting CK is Europe only. Damn, otherwise this might be more fun. I can imagine Paradox making a grand strategy game about later classical antiquity, and we'll be here discussing an even bigger GC, and we'll say the same thing, it'd be too boring. :rofl:

 

[SecondReich]

The games just lose something when they are converted.

Sure, you could do a really long GC, but it wouldn't be very much fun or a very satisfying experience.

 

[EvilSanta]

I have actually wished for Paradox game set in around 600bc to 200 bc or such.Of course its very,very difficult to find leaders and monarchs for that time period but propably CK style game there would be awesome.

 

[SecondReich]

I want a Napoleonic era Paradox game.

Crown of Glory by Matrix isn't that great, and Empires in Arms has been in development for years.

Its time for Paradox to step in.

There is a MP game going from 1066 to possibly 1953

around 1600 now if you are interested in reading some of the very good AARs in it by KoM mostly

Megacampaigns are all about control. If you go hogwild in CK, you'll get very bored in EUII.

Modern Era Game

A game I'd like to see from Paradox is a Modern Era Game, maybe at the end of WWII, or maybe even in 1990, the end of USSR, now, we're really making new history, We know learders, presidents, all those kinda things, because it's modern day, everything is recorded. Historcally accurate? for the first years, and then we start making history, Technological Advances? It's the same concept, more features. I'd love to take on a mission to destory USA, or play as USA and end the war of Iraq in matter of days, instead of this lengthy war they're doing. We all be able to play our own countries and convert them into superpowers, wouldn't you think that would be fun?

 

[unmerged(18712)]

Well, personally I don't think I would be able to finish such a megacampaign. o

You can try Supreme Ruler 2010 for that. Though not made by Paradox and only starts in 2010, but it's simply a great game if you have patience for micromanagement.

Seeing that Paradox is stopping EU3 before 1789, there's still a big gap between EU and Vicky.

And since Paradox first expanded EU to 1819 to allow players to play the Napoleonie era, I bet there'll be either a new game filling the period, or an expansion for EU3 tailored for that period, like HoI2-DD and Vicky:Revolutions.

That just what I think. I'd love a Total War type of game (but not so dumbed down like those) or even better HoI2, with a strategic map, economy, resources, manpower, and maneuvering armies, but with grand tactical battles. I can dream can't I?

Dumbed down? At least Medieval: Total War has more than just 1 religion in every given province

 

[Mad King James]

I suspect P'Dox is planning a game for the Napoleonic period, IE 1789 - 1835.
Or it will be a EU3 expansion pack.

Why the specific year 1835?

 

[Mad King James]

because that's when Victoria begins
