No AAA studio that's for certain. You need a small, dedicated studio which will create a passion project and not a DLC-fest half arsed crap that'll need a year worth of patches to even be playable. Once a studio makes it big they only start caring about profits and making their shareholders happy.
They could start small with just making regional campaigns like the Reconquista, The First Crusade, The Hundred Years War, The Northern Crusades and then join those maps up into the grand campaign. All of them obviously patched in and not locked behind scummy pay walls. I don't even care about graphics, they could use sprites like in Shogun and Med1 as long as the game is fun and the diplomacy isn't retarded.

Why are you posting this on the strategy games board, shill? You don't get to use this board as your advertising board just because it's slower. Earn your money and go post on /v/ you piece of subhuman trash.

You can't expect folks to pay for a DLC that adds something which should already be in the game. Only DLCs that made sense to me were those of EU3.

If they don't also add in the Japs, Burgers, Bongs, or a new country, why would I buy this when I already have Gates? And Gates have also said that they want to add the west front.

Painful really. And the singleplayer/campaign gets worse to nonexistant with every installment. Just shitty sandbox multiplayer clusterfucks with too many units in too little ground for any meaningful tactics or strategy.

>>848317
Looks like AS2.5, which was just AS1.5, which was just MoW1.5, which was just FoW1.5.

VFX and SFX, as well as general art direction, just seem very inferior to Gates of Hell. If GoH keeps adding content, by the time MoW2 will be out I don't see why I'd go for that over GoH.

Nah their new game mode looks gey af and the game looks like its already reusing old art assets. I'll stick with Gates Of Hell, they already have a new faction on the way and the devs clearly care more than the money grubbing jews at 1C

>>849341
The art even looks like the warthunder/WoT art, amazing, but then I guess Russians don't ever do subtle.

It's an eastbloc game in an engine they made their previous 5 (already identical) games in. It will 100% be reusing old assets.

Not that guy but despite looking outwardly cool there's quite a few major issues with MWOs' designs. A lot of mechs just straight up loose their neck joint for no reason, making having a head separate from the torso completely pointless.

>>not only that, their versions of the existing designs were visual downgrades due to character polygon limitations for the game engine
okay and?
They don't have the excuse of budget and engine constraints anymore, that and MW4's designs were based off of the existing designs made by a multitude of people, MWO's aren't.

Paradox games complexity is funny to me.
They feel pretty simple once you're into them and seems like almost everyone who plays them thinks so too, but then when you see someone who's not into them already try to learn them and it's like watching a caveman bang rocks together, and that makes me question my previous assumption if they're really that simple.

The only one of these I even recognize is Endless Legend and I'm not very fond of it.

Endless Legend is good.

Iratus and Tainted Grail are sit.

Disciples Liberation is okay if you're not a fan of Disciples 1 and 2. If you're expecting something like the first two it's shit though.

Weird 4x that is somehow quest, lore and story focused and yet strangely "gamey" anyway. You would think that they will design some nice main and side quests for it because of this, but aside from text dump they are very generic fetch quests (kill x enemies) with very generic rewards (+x resource) that don't even have any nice script triggers that would heavily change your campaign. They are all so light in their impact in order to not upset potential multiplayer balance. Which is sad. In one main story you are meant to have some supposed bloodthirsty noble that is growing in power and challenging your rule and when he rebels it's just spawns his one weak army and I think not even a single city goes to join him even if you have massive Empire. Other than nice art and comfy music it's rather boring
>Iratus
Just like Darkest Dungeon, it's minigame. Basically mobile tier one in complexity. But save for main character VA it doesn't have the charm of Darkest Dungeon.

Just how bad Liberation is in regards of lore? From what I heard it's about some special bisexual nephilim girl that welcomes refugees into the city of her ancestors.

>"lamo just do more quick maffs".
I get what you're saying, but there has been a lot of developments. It's more "lmao do this shortcut to do less maff" instead of "quick maffs". But I understand the problem really well due to my familiarity with robotics, where this problem is pretty relevant. But you're correct. Pathfinding is a relatively complex problem compared to all the other problems you have as a game dev.

>>847877
no reason not to use invictus

>>848132
Maybe you missed the part where the game is awful and 2.0 didn't made it any better - it actively made it worse, for AI is even more incompetent now that it can't build armies, but wasn't "taught" to use levies and legions properly. Same with inventions system.
Stop quoting redditors and youtubers and fucking play the game for yourself to see how awful 2.0 is. We literally have thread just about people listing why 2.0 is worse than previous builds and how much a meme it is to pretend it "solved" anything at all.

>>847877
Have you tried making mods yourself? Tweaking game to remove stuff like too easy assimilation or making changes to pops and buildings according to your tastes is quite fun.

I'm sure it's not bad but I simply cannot get into Paradox-style games. I'm a turn-based guy myself. Looking to maybe get Fields of Glory: Empires or something similar on Steam.

The combo of different setting, launching at 32bit and then launching normally helped.
Jesus Christ, how hard it is to write a proper self-adjust script for the game to use desktop resolution? Especially given the complexity of the game itself, this should be fucking trivial.

This game will be a classic for years to come. It tickles my autism in just the perfect spots.
