Can't tell if joking or serious. I mean Sunset Invasion wasn't the end of historical accuracy for CK2, or any other Paradox game. This is surely and overreaction?
There are also warp lanes, which doesn't mesh with a hex grid at all, especially if the systems weren't in a hex grid. Plus, there's territory that's obviously explored, but not under a hex grid. Note that there's monotone areas, and then areas which are colored but not under the influence of a faction. It's pretty clear that the hex grid on the political map mode is just visual, and doesn't do anything at all for gameplay.
Or it's just early game and factions will eventually splinter as they grow and we'll encounter non human empires as we push outward. here may even be overlapping controll of planets. Assuming we start one arth for an example you could have the countries all start forging their separate empires in space.
OH! SORRY! They don't give you what you want... Yes paradox can only do what YOU want. Many people asked for a space game. But I forget... you are more important than many other people. And Paradox is don't allowed to do Space games... You remember that they try to make a fantasy RPG? Why didn't you leave Paradox as they announce Runemaster instead of Rome II?
i'm joking and it's a quote from a madman on these forums who literally had a crying fit about SI
Given we don't know if they will announce one or two games, wait atleast to tomorrow before considering the future.
Sorry... I hate the new quoting system in this forum... I allways have some issues with it...
The thing is that if you're right then the game isn't going to be particularly interesting or remarkable. Just a real time version of a dozen existing 4X games. Although the idea of focusing on characters is kinda cute, look at CK2 (a game that holds itself out as being ALL about characters) and the options it gives you to be involved with other characters. You can bribe them, you can improve relations with one single character and you can plot to kill them. It's a game where YOUR character matters, not other characters, and I don't see that translating well into sci fi.
Smaller scale, with fewer factions (and boring, re-tread factions at that) is pretty much saying 'We don't want our game to be interesting or unique'.
Takes time to get used to it
Oh good in that case funny joke. I just had to be sure, you know Poe's law and all that.
I don't think they ever said they were committed to do historical games all their life. Beside that, history in Paradox games is just a setting. They are not accurate at all and some have outright fantasy in (the demon child of CKII). Not that I blame them, they are not faculty historians.
you and me both
But the light is what gets anywhere in space, if you want the void to be there that's soemthing else but space is filled with light and colour. Their sources are just very very far away.
Yes. But I allways forget to remove old quotes from my post... if I add a new quote it don't removes the old onces... Which is sometimes confusing for me.
Fun fact: Stellaris is grand strategy. It just happens to be a GSG in space. The tagline, if the screenshots are to be believed, is "Grand strategy on a universal scale".
One of the best ideas would be doing Majesty in space, that could be a very nice game and quite unique as well. I doubt they focus that much on characters but atleast as much focus on them as CKII should keep the game from being anything like other space games. Most important thing is how they deal with snowballing.
Universal? I hope it's just a pun, intergalactic travel never sat well with me. There are billions of stars in this galaxy I think that should be enough.
