Could a game set in the 30 years war be good?
noalso that image has nothing to do with the thirty years war
this soldier is clearly not from the 30 years war
>>724243915No because they'd try to make it 1% educational and ruin everything.
>>724244050>>724244062Then my bait worked
I feel like most people don't even know how the thirty years war played out.
>>724244518It was so brutal for the Germans that after ww2 when the Soviets had raped their way through east Germany, and the Allies had bombed the cities to ash, and after the country was split asunder, the survivors of ww2 said it was *almost* as bad as the 30 years war. I feel like the setting would be fucking spectacular.Imagine DND with their 80 some gods, and one day everyone decided to kill each other over that difference, and the entire world is anarchy.
>>724244050why
>>724244825We skip over it entirely since we weren't involved.
>>724245441Who's "we"
>>724244050 cope harder, the aesthetic alone is grimdark kino. Plague, mercenaries pillaging helpless villages, desperate nobles switching sides every week, religious fanatics burning each other alive-if that’s not prime vidya material I don’t know what is. You could make a survival-strategy hybrid like Bannerlord meets Frostpunk with a side of Witcher 2 moral ambiguity. But no, keep telling yourself it wouldn’t work because you failed every history class past 6th grade.
>>724245595Poland. It's barely ever mentioned.
>>724244518All the creepy fairytale stories about abandoning children in the woods to die and witches eating people, etc are all from that era.
>>724244825>the survivors of ww2 said it was *almost* as bad as the 30 years war>ww21939-1945>30 years war>1618-1648They were that old?
>>72424696430 years war killed anywhere between 30-50% of krauts.
>>724246964No, I was saying that the ones who experienced the aftermath of ww2 and studied their history could determine how awful it must have been
>>724247208>between 30-50% of krautsThen ww2 wasn't *almost* as bad.
Will you be able to throw Catholics out windows?
