EU V Pre-order trailer
The sweeping golden paint line going around the world highlights China, Mali, and even the fucking Aztecs, before entering Sicily and going from gold and smooth to black, chaotic, and destructive while the music switches from epic harmony to discordant noise. Then it goes to in game footage, kingdom of Sweeden covering entirety of Europe is amusing, and then we end on the above statues/figures, not a one of which looks like a European power to me.
I can feel the self-loathing rolling off the trailer, and I despair.
Yeah, I think I'll stick to playing IV.
I'm sticking with Stellaris where genocide and atrocity aren't just part of the game but often required reading because the AI is that fucking retarded the only way to survive sometimes is to purge their empire from the game before they spawn a crisis nobody could survive.
Stellaris keeps fucking with core mechanics. Stop it already!
4.0 will be out of beta soon™, ignore the fact it was released already in May.
To others reading, no, this isn't two contradicting statements. 4.0 has been so badly handled it went back into beta after being released.
They pretty much lost me when they removed warp drives and wormhole tech as starting options. Things that actually sold me on the game when it launched.
Since then it's been nothing but "remove this" and "rework that" to the point I don't even recognise the game anymore. But to really have fun, I'm supposed to buy over $200 in DLC?
Yeah, thanks but no thanks.
Plus end game lag.
I haven’t even heard of the series so I’ll check out the previous ones
Possibly longbowman?
That could be an English Longbowman, the armor and helmet styles made me think it was some sort of Chinese archer.
Isn't the spear dude Chyna?
When I see that knee high skirt style armor I think Japanese, but I'm certainly no warfare historian. The helmet is what really baffles me, I can't place it at all.
Bro, is it really an issue to play other civilizations, including primitive ones? You can do that in EU4 too. I feel like this is complaining that you can play Liberia in HOI4.
I'm sure the Aztec are going to be in the game, but I'm not sure why that's a problem. It might even be possible to conquer the Earth as the Aztec, but I'm willing to bet it will be some goofy-as-fuck way of somehow conquering Spain or Portugal, and then relocating the Azetc capital to Madrid. I get that we're concerned about DEI nonsense, but where are we actually seeing it, and how has it different from EU4?
Well, faggot, it's because I don't see representation for Europe in a game historically centered on them. Why does some savage Aztec with his distinctive stick-with-rock-shards-in-it get a prominent placement among those six statues instead of say... a Spanish Conquistador?
I mean, I know why. And, obviously, so do you.
But it's still going to be centered on them because it's still covering the most interesting time of European consolidation and expansion.
Because the Devs are literally advertising that they've expanded the potential nations you can play at the start. The trailer is pointing out a feature.
Again, do you have anything that would cause us to think that there's something actually DEI related to this game?
The near total lack of Europeans in a Europa Universalis trailer isn't evidence?
Let me guess, it's not happening, and if it was it would be a good thing.
This is the wrong place to be a niggerfaggot.
