Not really no. While their myths are different they'd both end with similar mechanics surrounding ritual sacrifices, techs/god powers involving calendars, floods and jaguars, the same feathered serpent as a major god and the same rain god as either major or minor while competing for the same myth units from that region. And all while having almost indistinguishable human units, architecture and aesthetics (if people bitched about china and japan, two distinct civilizations being too similar, imagine that but with two neighboring cultures from the same fucking country)

You'd get more unique stuff out of the various celts (gauls/irish/arthurian), the romans without the greek part or just going for the Incas than the Mayans.

>>2329300
Not even close.

>>2329284
The myth units are kinda meh. Bird woman #1 (ugly), bird woman #2 (pretty), dryads again and werewolves. Their gimmicks might be fun tho

>>2329464
>romans
Honestly, I dont think the Romans could work. We already got the Atlanteans, who also use Greek mythology with the titans. Romans have bootleg greek gods and a lot of Atlantean units do resemble Romans in some regards. I just don't think they would be an interesting choice.

Celts wold be the obvious pick after Aztecs, I feel. Maybe slavs or Phoenicians?

>>2329548
>Celts, Slavs
same problem but with Norse, there are bootleg versions of same gods
Dagda.and Perun respectively, that being said myth units could be cool

>>2329643
>bootleg versions of same gods
If you really get down to it, aren't they all the same? (even Zeus and Odin)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-European_mythology

>>2329548
I think there are still fun things they could do with Romans. Like yeah if they wanted to be accurate their major gods would have to be the ones they share with the greeks (specially Jupiter and Mars), but they still have their own, somewhat iconic gods that could work too like Quirinus, Janus and Fortuna.

But they could also use the Roman's love of syncretism as a feature, like having foreign minor gods in the mythic era with exclusive human units from those cultures (such as the anatolian Cybele, the gaulish Epona, the ptolemaic Serapis or the persian Mithras) as a way to reflect Roman conquest, expansionism and subsequent religious syncretism. Or they could have the option to worship a minor god from another player, or the ability to adopt a myth unit and few techs from a conquered enemy (by destroying their temple or something).

>a lot of Atlantean units do resemble Romans
Oh right I forgot Atlanteans have a bunch or roman units. Such a mess of a faction.
I still think Romans have a lot of potential though.

Now with upcoming Second Chinese Civil War factions.

>>2329681
Did they even confirm that France is getting totally reworked? I think the devs just said that Lafayette will be getting a face behind the mask + overall expansion. Idk about the whole of France.

>>2329447
>why the mods did not delete that thread huh, faggot?
Because this is 4chan, retard.

>>2329691
They've said that they're going to be removing the tag switching for the French Civil War and when mentioning the Lafayette rework they say that "Europe stuff is still far away".
Personally, I think that this kind of confirms a France rework is coming in 1.3

Nevertheless, I'll add an asterisk next to France just because that content is so far off all we really have is rumors.

>>2329696
Yeah, I say its very 50/50 and we dont know much beyond that, all of 1.3 is under an asterisk since all we know that its going to be coming after 1.2, but thats about it.

no, i was saying there was no scheme conjured by judas to conspire in this
in other words, judas only did it for the money and not for helping jesus/god out in their plan
his scheme was to make money, even though it helped out humanity in the end

>is "villain" another word for sinner
yes, we need to be reborn in spirit filled with the holy spirit for it not to be the case
>if so, then we're all sinners
duh, that's literally the one message of the gospel, that we are all in need of a savior (that's it if you don't wanna perish but desire everlasting life)
>there is no verse stating such a scheme
>what a foolish man judas would be, then, if he thought he knew the best way without jesus' prior input
Acts 1:6 So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
Mark 8:31-32 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. (32) And He was stating the matter openly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
>killing yourself is evidently annihilating yourself utterly to the point where your life is unsalvageable in the physical plane, effectively overriding any plan that god may have for you
define killing yourself.
1. killing yourself because you are a doomer and hate everything God believes in = God can't force you to be with him when you evidently killed yourself just to stay away from him
2. killing yourself because other endless reasons but you've tried your best to hate sinful things = God saves
it's all in the heart (Mat 5:29), whether you're subscribed to jesus or not, the debts/sins? all taken care of.
>NOT do the thing that G-d had predestined for him?
there's no such thing as fate and Jesus wasn't entitled to his villain (judas) an intervention

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

*judas was literally an OG disciple and had witnessed laws of physics defying miracles every other day and still called him just a rabbi to the very last supper

>define killing yourself.
there is literally no two versions of this
judas ended his own life, he committed suicide as successfully as throwing himself off a skyscraper or jumping into a pit of vipers and tickling them into biting him, or drawing a blade against an angry roman soldier with the intent of having him kill him, suicide is suicide is suicide

too much tedious building autism for me, ill stick with eu4

These games aren't thought out and planned out well enough
So then they are constantly manually adding "content" via paid dlc rather than organic depth developing in the game from complex mechanics

Also they need to spend way more effort on making a decent MP mode

To be honest, if they get EU5 into a good place and stop fucking with it by bloating the game into oblivion with years of a retsrded dlc treadmill, I’d consider that a big win. I was very happy with how Imperator turned out, and every other nu-Paradox game ended up going to shit because the devs couldn’t stop and leave it alone

>>2329616
Cloud Lord can be argued to be the worst faction in the game

>>2329277
Not them, but it's super easy to beat 7 AIs, they don't team play.

I know everyone takes Airborne as NGSW since they were buffed, but I've gotta extol the virtues of Vanilla Airborne.
On a cost for cost basis they're equal to Marines in a forest fight but way easier to transport since 9 men fit in most US vehicles.

I've been running Airborne/Stryker with the vanilla loadout alongside Combat Engis and just dominating forest fights in the US mirror.

Dropping this here because I have nowhere else to put it:
I did some testing to quantify how many supplies it takes to heal damaged infantry/vehicles and what the game bases this on.
For vehicles, it's relatively simple. The game divides vehicles into arbitrary categories. Every vehicle within a category has the same repair cost regardless of its price, plus a flat additional repair cost for each modification. The game doesn't differentiate between differently priced mods, just whether or not you changed the value from its default.
So for example, a vanilla Booker costs the same to repair as a vanilla Stryker. A Stryker with a grenade launcher and armour upgrade costs as much to repair as a Dragoon with APS, and as an Autocannon Booker with APS.

It seems that all tanks more or less share a cost category, and most other fighting vehicles share a second. For basic AFVs, it's roughly 1000 supply for a full repair + 20 per mod, for basic tanks it's ~1200 supply + 35 per mod.

Infantry are a little messier. When a squad model is dropped, the ammo it carried is lost, and when that squad member is 'revived' it's revived with 0 ammo and needs to restock its ammo from supplies. I could disable resupply to get cleaner numbers but since in practice you'll always be resupplying squads you repair I figured it was more sensible to leave it on.

Generally speaking, the base repair cost for infantry scales with their size, so smaller squads are cheaper to reinforce. But since you also need to restock revived models, in practice the cost varies based on the what kind of equipment is being restocked. For example, Standoff Rangers lose their RAWS model last so they don't need to replace it, while CQC Rangers have to pay to replace all their LAWs.

Generally, 6-man squads range between 800-1k supply, while 9-man squads sit in the 1200-1300 range. Very large squads like Raiders move closer to 2k.

>Every CnC mod
Sounds about right, I do like the resurrection mod in RA3 with their Futuretech Faction, and then using limited Tiberium fields instead of the usual Ore Mine Collection Sites. It's very scifi and it reminds me of pic related, the add-on faction of Japan for ROTR, and I especially love how their secondary economy (compared to GLA's Black Market and Bounties, USA's Supply Center cargo and Supply Drop Zones, Mainland Hackers, ECA Telecom Towers, and Federation Arms Dealers) the add-on Japanese faction uses a deployable ore drill that periodically extracts gold from the surface, allowing resource gatherers to collect them and that's pretty insanely cool.
>>2328509
MO looks like they greatly exaggerate those notorious qualities of their depiction of the mainland, compared to the real life mainland. In fairness, if we saw that in the prologue that the mainland had possessed allied tech, then I'd believe the mainland is part of the allies. I'd honestly would like to see if there's a Chinese Taipei-led faction in CnC, because seeing those mods base the mainland being soviet industrial in nature, then Chinese Taipei would probably be sleek like MO Pacific Front or RotE Japan. Also, what would the faction aesthetics of Chinese Taipei look like?

Giving it another thought, if China in Omega was Allied Nation like in original RA2, i could see them either supplementing or replacing the Pacific Front entirely, maybe as an Asian-Pacific-Allience from Generals 2 in the name, as for units and tech they could go heavy on mirage tech and gap generators, they could utilize upgrade logic from TS on their production structures so for example they will have an MBT for each tech tier if keep upgrading

hm, I've always thought of a theoretical chinese taipei faction being mostly a naval power, emphasis on hover technology and fast units.

Tiberian Sun? speaking of upgrades, I think of the heightened and max clearances from the allies in RA3.

>>2329623
>emphasis on hover technology and fast units.
Pacific Front already has that, so i thought of giving them something else

Also i don't get RA3 Resurrection, it uses a name of a long-dead mod from which MO got a bunch of ideas, and it has... Both the Eastern Long China and Generals 2 China? But hey, at least someone made Future Tech from that old Resurrection, as well as Yuri from Synergy mod playable

It's most likely a patchwork worldbuild with all the other factions just duking it out in their respective skirmishes. Regardless, I like how that mod was able to replicate the Generals building style, and having more construction units to build at a construction site, the building gets built faster.

>>2329627
You need to micromanage their market. They can't build or do anything unless you export them just about everything. Manually of course.

can't micromanage the ai countries tho can you.. was the design of this game ever about,.. how well can you min-max against AIs who are also video-gaming ? i suppose it became that with the ddrjakes and what have you on tube but i thought it was supposed to be an historically immersive geopolitical thingie

New Tinto Talk is up
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/tinto-talks-96-28th-of-january-2026.1897673/

We have made around 200 content fixes and tweaks for 1.1 ‘Rossbach’.
>New disaster for Brandenburg and a dozen new German advances
>Tengri get 8 named gods
>7 new achievements
>Manchurian Setup Rework (Cultures, pops, harbors adjusted in China. New countries added)
>Food & Tools in Andes & Mesoamerica (copper tools and jewelry for Native America)
>We have worked very intensively towards improving the existing situations, fixing bugs and making tweaks. (too much to summarize, read them yourself. Japan does get some tweaks)

>For 2026, we have two main goals in the Content Design team. On the one hand, we’ll keep improving the quality of the base game, with more fixes and improvements, while keeping adding additional free content in the base game patches. In this regard, I think that 1.1 ‘Rossbach’ gives a good idea of what to expect from now on, and what our main field of work is. In this regard, short-term and mid-term, one of our sub-teams will keep working on fixes for the 1.1 Open Beta, while another sub-team has already started working on further setup tweaks for the 1.2 patch - as that’s the part of the CD work that requires more time, as you may know if you followed the Tinto Maps series.
>On the other hand, we have already started working on new content for the first DLC, Fate of the Phoenix. It’s soon to start talking about it, but I wanted to let you know that we’re already on top of it, especially for the player who acquired the Premium Edition of EUV.

Wrong, a cultural raiding feature works regardless of religion, I know this because changing my culture to raid as a Zoroastrian was a key part of my Karen campaign.

>>2329576
yeah but Norman isn't one of those cultures.
the bit about "can raid overseas with ships" or whatever doesn't actually mean it enables raiding on its own. it means you can get extra loot on your ships if you can already raid. there's a reason that e.g. Norse has both that line and the one about being able to raid in general

The game also had haters because of it's very long development time and scripted trailers that showed little realistic gameplay.
