EU3: Divine Wind

[Beskar]

I sure hope you're wrong about that. Was this confirmed (that they've stopped work on HTTT 4.1 and have integrated the changes into DW isntead)? I'll be very disappointed -- and a tad angry -- if it's true.

They haven't worked on the patch since April (there were previous installments of the patch for Jan, Feb and March). Since then, they have released Semper Fi and Victoria 2, and now the team who was meant to be doing the patch are working on Divine Wind. I am guessing 4.1 is the "This is the patch, but it has that serious CTD problem, so we won't release it properly, but don't care enough to sort out".



My gripe with the game seems to be similar to Froggy. The best period is early on, but as soon as colonization kicks off, I start to quickly lose interest, as I find that side of the game quite boring, and I don't want to cover the globe with my nations name. Also, it always the same two powers (Portugal, Spain, sometimes GB), so it is quite repetitive. Also it starts approaching the protestant and reformation, where basically all European powers are plagued with magically converting provinces which seem to be never ending.

Another gripe, it seems the game keeps forcing me to be a "Major Power" in terms of land, otherwise I just end up squashed in wars and it is the only way to make money so I can have a major influence. It would be interesting to be able to be a 'very rich' single province, in terms of tech and money which balances out fighting against the giant unwieldy non-'invested' backward nations.


While those are more "European Gripes", I find the East very lacking in everything. Japan is unified, and there is no where to really 'go' or 'do'. Having Daiymo's fighting for control would at least give some flavour and fun, in trying to unite Japan. Then having other things in places like Ming (or even having a unify China event), or in India, having a 'unify India' event, and all these others possibilities.

Would like to also see new way to play the Indian nations. What if the Aztec Empire managed to beat back the Spanish and then used the technologies to advance itself?

Would love to see more new world countries, revolutions and powers, especially the creation of "Colonial Vassals", so lets say I was Britain, I could form a bunch of 'colonial vassals' which are the 13 states, which expand on their own behalf (which later, could begin revolting and form America).
