The Augurs Have Decided! Imperator: Rome Releases on April 25!

[PozhiloyBik]

Wow, nice, preordered it! Oldi na meste?

Only One Question:

How is the AI on a Scale from 0 (bad) to 10 (good)

For Reference:
EU4 : 4
CK2 : 3
Stellaris : 2
HOI 4 : 1

Civ (V or IV your pick) : 2

Civ6s AI is a absolute joke. I hate the game for it's AI. I spend several hundred hours in Civ5 but only a few in Civ6, just because the AI randomly declares war.

Pre-ordered and rather excited for April now!

Actually it's even worse/better (depending on viewpoint) in the Norwegian Steam shop. Imperator cost 279 NOK, which is 28.84 euro and 25.41 GBP!

That's due to the ridiculous localized prizing policy Paradox use. It's the same for all their games, and it has been that way for years. They tried to improve it a while back, but angry Russians and Brazilians made them change their mind for all countries.

Would have been amazing if it was released on the ides of march, still amazing news. Two months of perpetual annoyance incomming!

So you Norwegians still get it for only 28 € even after it now apparently has been fixed?

 

[Traum77]

In Poland:
Steam: 142PLN and 199PLN (= 33€ and 46€)
PDX: 39.99€ and 54.99€

I wanted to support PDX preordering directly from their store, but not at that price...

Yup, it's the same here in Canada - about $7.00 CAD, or 15% cheaper to buy on Steam. Would love to support Paradox more, but that's substantial enough I'll go through Steam.

International pricing is obviously difficult to get right.

 

[Brynjar]

Yes, and I really doubt Paradox will be able to fix it in an afternoon. If they could, they should have done it long ago. It's not the first time it has been pointed out...

It was the same with Stellaris and HoI4 at least, can't remember how it was for earlier titles.

 

[roninate]

Very good and very well! Preordered! Oldi zdes'!

 

[Nikolai]

We have looked into this, it is now fixed! Thanks for your help guys!

Fixed how? Price is still the same all places.

 

[Wavey]

Fixed how? Price is still the same all places.

It's been upped to £34.99 over here

 

[Wagonlitz]

It's been upped to £34.99 over here

Wasn't that what it was on the original screenshot posted when this was pointed out, though?

 

[Wavey]

Wasn't that what it was on the original screenshot posted when this was pointed out, though?

Nope, it was £30.99

 

[Wagonlitz]

Nope, it was £30.99

That might have been including the lunar sale discount.
As your screenshot did say 34.99.

 

[Brynjar]

That was the pdx store price, steam price said 30.99 GBP.

 

[Wagonlitz]

That was the pdx store price, steam price said 30.99 GBP.

Oh. I just realised that the screenshot had both prices. I'm a fool.

 

[Wavey]

That might have been including the lunar sale discount.
As your screenshot did say 34.99.

£30.99 on Steam at the top, below on the pdx store it is the correct price of £34.99

 

[Strigoi Tyrannus]

It is clearly said in the video from 0:26 onwards: "Is the flourishing center of a monkey empire" Can't stop laughing

 

[DominusNovus]

I’ll set aside money to buy it when they fix Rome’s government in vanilla. But those EU4 models look nice.

 

[Grzegorz Grzybek]

Because we have maybe seen something like 20-33% of the Imperator: Rome development time while we have known man the gun pretty much all througth its development.

That makes me think about the progress made for Victoria 3...
