beta is pretty stable at this point

>>1740449
Stable still has some QoL mods that have yet to update to v66, but not many.
Overall v65 will be the more documented version, so unless you don't mind experimenting you can go with v66. Either see the dev blogs to catch on on changes and additions since the demo, or one of the other game's web forums for info.

Just play beta, it's perfectly fine

How so? It doesn't seem to have any fantasy elements that the original doesn't. It just takes place in a less populated area.

It's like saying Alaska is more fantasy than California.

Here's that Sion's build while I'm raging about it.
Every day this fucking build taunts me with promises of reclaiming a mastery slot by taking out Honesty, but it just can't be done without also having to use a property limit Human mastery to achieve the same thing, and completing the set gives +1% ESP damage from Sage compared to using one of the Human masteries.
Fuck I wish we had another slot or two.

And here's a reminder Magic Optimisation is actually overpowered. With 10 stacks of Release Magic and 25 stacks of Concentrated Magical Power it's a 1 point mastery for 55% ESP damage before adding in any other sources of vigor recovery.

The writers at Dandylion really are pretty shit when it comes to trying to write any sort of [Conclusion].

To this day I'm still baffled why Ben is a Hard/Cruel boss in a violent case while the final story map of DLC1 is just a random raid on the Clowns' convoy. Crimson Crow at least ended with a climactic showdown and the VHPD in flames.

it's appears the game's popularity has generated some controversy

Older paradox games were pretty shit for mp and the newer games are the newer games. And that's ignoring all the cancer that the mp playerbase is.

huh? huhh?? why is that??

pdx games have been balanced around multplayer since ast least 2012 why would u assume that ones gonna be unplayable

>>1740476
From what I've seen so far this game is going to be more tedious than v3's economy to manage and instead of 3 button meme it has an actual warfare system. I just can't imagine doing all of that efficiently in real time without pausing often, something that doesn't happen in mp games.

>>1740478
People managed with EU4's warfare system. They'll manage here.

how to fix sieges in total war games:
you siege a city, and after some turns you create breaches etc. when you want to storm, the game starts with some parts of the wall already destroyed because of your long siege. additionally, gates might be weakened or destroyed too. if you don't wait, the castle will be intact.

there, i fixed it

>>1714049
See, their basic problem is that they treat sieges as just regular field battles with some walls streets and towers. So you grab some ladders, or shoot the walls open and just go in.

In reality, sieges tended to be long drawn out affairs. The defending army had massive advantages and so the attackers usually just camped outside until the defenders starved. They would dig trenches, make artillery emplacements, raid the countryside for food... If they decided to take it by storm they would have to have a high advantage in numbers as well as a crapton of siege engines.

The defenders on the other hand would launch constant raids against the attackers construction projects, try to smuggle in aid one way or another, carefully ration their supplies...Disease was common for both sides. Getting hit by the plague could wipe out large proportions of either army.

None of this would be a very fun experience especially when you consider how this interlocks with the rest of the game. Some kind of 10 turn siege where you slowly whittle down the enemy would turn the game into a slow grind. Given how quickly you (and especially the AI) recruit armies, actually taking enemy territory and especially their big cities would be a fucking nightmare. The ease with which you build fortifications and the sizable size of free garrisons is also an issue.

You would have to basically rethink the whole experience from the ground up and here's the thing: I don't think it would be worth it. The fantasy in TW games is going a map-wide conquest and painting the whole map. It's not sitting in front of some shithole until it breaks. If you're under attacks, the fantasy is basically Helm's Deep. Your heroic army beating back the enemy assault. It's not you just sitting there while hoping the enemy shits themselves to death.

>>1738089
why not skip the siege entirely and just have the fight be storming the citadel after you already breached the walls?

>>1736058
I remember the first Rome 2 teaser having those. What a load of bullshit it turned out to be

bpm is great but holy shit it is next to impossible to pass reforms as an absolute monarchy. it is easy enough going republic during the springtime of nations but if you want to stay an absolute monarchy the ruler ideology, even if the aristocrats aren't in the government and are 5% power, provide a -20-30 penalty to law support for every ig meaning even igs that petition you to pass a law can refuse to ever support said law. also revolutionaries won't support your laws because they have a low opinion due to no laws and you need a +80% or higher to overcome the rulers opinion of said law.
just wanted to be a paternalist.

>>1728767
BPM seems cool in concept, but I didn't have much fun playing with it. The already shit UI paradox designed for the poltics system becomes a mess with all the additional complexity BPM adds.

Anyyone tried either any of this guys mods?

>>1740431
Even if you get no loot, underwater missions are unique for that training outfits like swimsuits or bikinis give extra xp(20), so if you have rookies that need training they can get huge xp boosts from just one hit.

Is there any point to go beyond assigned worker of 4? It seems like the efficiency drops around that point and you're better off making a new structure. Not to mention that your most important resource, food, is bottleneck to the field which is hardset to only 2 workers.
I guess you can dump the unemployed as emergency labour force if you need a type of resource fast, but I don't think you're ever that dire of a particular resource in this game.

and it nevel well, it uses a free maps API; the real good shit requires you to pay, and they aren't gonna buy a ridiculous 70gbs file map of the planet just for this game.

>>1740372
Yeah pretty much. Although this is more of an RTS-esque, the art and the direction has that spirit. Similar to last stand: aftermath (that one's way more polished though).

Survived for 61 days then quit as it had no gameplay beyond that. Currently the HQ and Sniper Rifle are broken. You can game your squads by disbanding them in one HQ and forming them in another far away HQ to "fast travel". HQ itself has 9000 HP so can take a lot of hits, and having 6+ squads with SRs will melt all resistance. Good to have a decoy HQ so you can divide the swarm.
Real challenge is to find a good location to colonize, as you can't build new structures currently but adapt ruins. Although as this anon >>1737062 states you can survive fairly well by scavenging unless you literally picked butt-fuck nowhere for the map. In that sense it's better to just rush research and unlock SR mass production to arm your men.
Hopefully they expand more on the expedition mechanic as that was shit.
