yes, they abandoned it though
Imperator: Rome
and previously, Europa Universalis: SPQR
That would be the funniest bait and switch
abandon their Rome game, to make a better Rome game
peak Paradox
but no, it's EU5, dates are (likely) 1337-->1835
which will be ambitious, because it's going to require multiple different eras of mechanics, which they've not really done in their grand strategies before
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 yes, they abandoned it though
despite being abandoned its pretty good
Paradox has been weirdly non-committal on side project games for a while now
I feel bad for Imperator
it didn't really get a chance
Canceling their Cold War game East vs West is still the one I'm most disappointed about
And the more wargamey ones like March of the Eagles being killed
I'm playing a game rn that also has very strange controls on keyboard and they can't be remapped. I'm using a DualShock 4, which apparently doesn't have support, but the automatic mapping is much more intuitive

To be more specific, 'enter' is the only confirm button, and 'space' and 'e' are both skip buttons.
and 'backspace' is the only back button
geoguesser becoming paid killed all goodwill I had for it
have the one, basic gamemode free, limit it or w/e idc
they went the subscription route a while ago, and people paid for it so they kept it
it's $30/year I think
though they may run sales sometimes
I was on EA's website for no reason in particular
what the fuck
Yeah I guess

They delayed the delay announcement
insanely funny though
why I think the changes were AI is that they correctly identify the weaknesses, like if you fed 100s and 100s of replays into an algorithm and it asked it to spit out what situations the char lost in. But then completely disregarded whether or not this weakness was an intentional part of the character's design
Replying to Raccoons #raccoons9986 I had a lot of fun with T7 as a casual. T8 when I played it was just getting gorilla'd out by mashing and people 1 and running to save their rank the first week the game came out
Yea a lot of just doing shit, which I mean im ok with i play like lars, kazuya, Bryan. I think heat dash was just too oppressive and some stages like the falling meteor with the floor bound were so toxic
