I don't think it'd fit well into Stellaris, but I'd probably shell out a bit for a game that did do somewhat hard sci-fi space wars.
My space autism is telling me that everything would have to be so specifically perfect as to be impossible to play in practice though.

Hello everyone and welcome to another Happy Wednesday, the day of the week where you get a new Tinto Talks, the special posts we make to gather feedback about the very very secret game with the codename Project Caesar.

While we may have some skills and some experience in designing games, we are not perfect, and that is why we are doing these Tinto Talks, so we can get feedback on what may be less than stellar, and for us to think about things that we may not have thought about. Sometimes it's small easy things we can do immediately and will tell you in the thread directly, and sometimes it's larger things, which we talk about later.


Our Tinto Talks from a month ago, about Great Powers and Hegemons was one of the very few we have made that had a negative reaction, but what was great with it was that there was plenty of great, constructive and usable feedback from it. Pretty much everything in this thread today has been built on community ideas that have then been revised and discussed internally.

That happened way after a lot of epidemics occurred naturally, sometime during the 18th or 19th century.

I always love hearing people talk about plague blankets when germ theory wasn't even an inkling of an idea. The closest thing ever before was chucking cows over fort walls.
>>
>>1906983
>That happened way after a lot of epidemics occurred naturally, sometime during the 18th or 19th century.
It didn't happen at all, there was a smallpox outbreak tied to a Mississippi steamer and some random professor made up a story about this outbreaking having been created intentionally. He was fired and lost tenure.

>>1907074
They didn't know about germs, but they certainly knew that some diseases were contagious. European bathhouse culture disappeared after 1500 because it was linked to syphilis outbreaks which came from the new world.
At the time of the aforementioned smallpox outbreak, vaccinations against smallpox existed, but many native americans weren't vaccinated, and the news of the outbreak led to efforts to vaccinate more native americans in the mid-west. Yes, vaccines were a thing before the germ theory existed.
>>
>>1907079
To be fair the idea of the germ theory did exist as early 12 century but either seen as none sense or heretical similar to how newton laws were known but never linked or discovered together

This worth getting mainly for the story campaign and a few faction runs (if any of the factions are fun to play, that is)?

Seemed like it was pretty contrversial at launch.

No pirateniggers seriously??
>>
>>1906310
Not that I know. Denuvo seems to be a hard filter, a perfect protection for games with long post release support. All those pirate trannies don't have enough commitment to recrack all games like this every update. They live off an attention that cracking new releases gives them. Maybe proper full pirate version will show up again once TWW is truly complete in 2 or 3 years with no more updates being made for it, after CA switched to TWW40k properly.
>>
>>1905227
The only story in this game is the prologue, which is decent but not worth $60. If you like the setting then it is a decent sandbox but you aren't going to get a good story out of it.
>>
>>1905227
Yes you can get away with buying very few factions. I prefer wh2 though. After you've played the new races, you don't again and the other changes aren't worth it.

No. It still has the depth of a puddle.

Incredible that we managed to win this, i supported Hungary independence and got dragged in a war against Austria, Russia and Two Sicilies, luckily after a while Prussia went to war against Austria and France so Hungary only had to deal with Russia, then Russia left the war and i took Lombardy and that was enough to make the austrian warscore go in the negatives

there is still a chance to cuck them out of korashi reserves so their mage revolt disaster fires, but it requires you taking the perma damestear provinces from Xia and eating Azjakuma
once that is done you can beat them up easily (however the mage revolt gives the breakaway tags insane buffs and legendary mage rulers, you might want to wait a bit before trying to take them down)
>>
>>1906754
as anon above said you can try Dhugajir, their military is so insane I was able to beat the Command alone while outnumbered several times
alternatively they will overexpand eventually which will allow a coalition to form, but you must lead it because the I legitimately believe the AI is hardcoded to never ever declare on The Command on their own
>>
>>1907027
>I legitimately believe the AI is hardcoded to never ever declare on The Command on their own
They will declare if they think they can win, the thing is that unless a player intervene they'll never get to that state.

I have had The Command reduced to a rump state with <40 FL and everybody, even the ultrablob Dahui which I enabled by beating them down not deccing

That's not really what matters, what does is keeping their manpower at 0 war exhaustion high and current army size low.

Appreciate the advice but it didn't work unfortunately. Despite having children, the game concluded I didn't have any heirs and gave me a game over after I died. Didn't feel like playing another dynasty so abandoned that game. Might look for a mod that allows me to go adventurer anytime in case this kind of thing happens again.
