    I’m stoked! I watched a gameplay review by someone I trust, and they were super excited, so I’m genuinely excited as well.

    The one thing that worries me is they weren’t allowed to show anything after 1500 or so. This could be because the game isn’t fleshed out after that time, or that they want players to experience it themselves. I really hope it’s the latter.

    Regardless, it looks like a fresh take on the EU franchise. I’m sure there will be ways to cheese the new game, but it looks like they fundamentally changes a lot of the systems that used to be abused.

    I’m probably not getting it day 1, but I might get it close to release. I usually wait for the first DLC before jumping in for Paradox games, but this might be an exception.

      Was it Laith’s video? I just finished watching it and he said that it will be a great game if they fix all the bugs. Asking paradox to release a game that isn’t buggy is pretty scary. But it does look like an amazing game and not just a stripped down version of the game that came before it (like vic 2/3 and ck 2/3)

        Florry worry.

        Laith was in the announcement video, so I wanted another perspective. In typical florryworry fashion, he looked at it from the perspective of min/maxing, and he was pretty excited about the variety of options available.

      Men leaving a metaphorical trail is different to me from painting the map. They was showed a journey, an individual not an empire.

      this unironically makes me wonder if there are any games with the gameplay being just painting a wall, especially since I know there is that House Flipper game

    I saw some videos. I don’t want to have to spend the first one hundred years slowly dying while fending off the plague.

    Also apparently you can’t no CB in the hre. What is life even?

      With their more recent games they have gotten less bad with their dlc, the base games seem a lot more feature rich (I could easily play stellaris, vic 3 and ck3 without feeling like I am missing parts of the game. With eu4, the dlc seem necessary). They will definitely release too much dlc, but it probably (hopefully) won’t be required like in eu4

    Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up ~they’re gonna fuck it up~

    Although so far I haven’t heard many negative things, from journalists or youtubers. But I also didn’t hear many negative things about civ7 before launch…
