Try the whole of the south west being named Plymouth, which isn't even the biggest city in the area (though I totally see why they've done it from a military/strategic point of view).
I think its time grand strategy games stop using Mercator and start using globes. when you are making the game in 3D its totally worth it to take a bit more of development time to project the map into a globe. also I have a weakness to overlycomplex games with an absurd amount of content, so I'm loving this.
The problem with that is if you take over the world and zoom all the way out, you still won't be able to see your whole name stretching across the globe until you rotate the view :/
@Henrik Bjørndalen if your global politics simulator is unable to simulate the third biggest polticial entity on the global stage something is really off.....
18:51, so Spain have some islands next to Morrocco, but Portugal doesnt have in the middle of the Atlantic and next to Morocco aswell? who made this game?
*Wants to he as diplomatic as possible* BELGIUM WHY? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING?! THAT'S IT, NUKE BELGIUM! Diplomacy at it's finest Quill! Diplomacy 100
Some time, you should do another Canada Run, but with the objective of peaceful integration of Russia, so you control the entire Arctic. And you can call it the Ivan-Canadian Economic Bloc (ICE bloc)
i think this game is great seem they have allowed the player to play as almost every country in the world.. not many games allow you to do that. i also think the devs adding mod support this early is great to see that tells me that the dev knew the player base would ask for mod support later on if it was not added this early. can't wait to see what players create with the mod tools.
Quill, I'm pretty sure TaxMan is a reference to a really bad comic book produced by the Canadian government about a hero called Captain Tax Time. Linkara - ATopTheFourthWall did a video on it a few years ago.
Idk if Quill went over it and I missed it, but do different nations start off with different techs? Like do less developed nations start off with less tech and vice versa? Or is it a more level playing field?
2:15 minutes into the video, I am hopeful. Have you ever thought about game ideas and it coming to life! You mention it’s Grand Strategy? ☑️ It’s new? ☑️ This game seems interesting. Edit: time to graduate hoi4 and play this game!
4:20 @quill18 says that once the version 1.0 is out, he'd like to see the dev continuing to work on the game. Considering the last title, that's quite the opposite that they did. They abandoned the first title to work on the second one. The idea behind this franchise is good and the first title is ok. Not great though. It's also very expansive for what it is. I will not purchase this title for exactly these reasons. I feel like the dev will only take my money then work on another title. Hopefully, this might help some people making their decision on whether or not they want to purchase this title.
@quill18 I've got a question, is it possible to scroll down to Antarctica when zoomed in? When you zoom out, you can see it fully, but it supposedly disappears when you zoom in to check the provinces themselves.
Hello all, anyone know why suddenly my population drop drastically? I was playing china with gdp of 20,000 and population of 14,000 suddenly it drops to 10,000 then 5,000. Many buildings are gone, AP gone negative etc. Thanks - much help needed
I played on switch a couple times and it was pretty fun, it was on sale for like $2 tho, so I don’t know how much it is now. If you can deal with playing using controllers it’s still pretty fun
Hate to be 'that guy' but you don't need the Alien Crossfire expansion to build floating colonies. It happens in the base game. What you might be thinking of is the Nautilus Pirates faction that builds all its bases in the water. Sorry mate. That comment gave me an itch that wouldnt go away lol
GDP is not just about the value of goods and services but also spending so i wonder if you can inflate your GDP by excessive spending like China does with their public work projects.

i would recommend not buying this game to anyone thinking about it btw, got the first game, and it was pretty much an underwhelming, off-tasting, and off-brand version of hearts of iron This is the totinos party pizza of 4x games
I'd have to counter that no recommendation as I honestly found CK3 and Hoi4 way slower, I've played 350 hrs or so of Realpolitiks 1 and still enjoy it, everyone just has their own personal preference to game style and I think Realpolitiks is quite unique compared to most grand strategy games.
Here's that very unique West Wing clip you were referencing: th-cam.com/video/bQGEBEYPf9g/w-d-xo.html Below is the full clip of the opener: th-cam.com/video/Fvb1e4-YgRE/w-d-xo.html
So i cam back to this video after having bought the game myself. THIS GAME IS NOT FINISHED. Its really poorly optimized, Even on an SSD it still loads fairly slowly. Has many bugs, especially during war that dont allow you to play. After watching Quil18 I was really interested in playing the game. Because if you look at my channel you can see im a pretty big fan of strategy.
Yeah, of course it's not finished, it would have said before adding to cart that it's early access. In the meantime you can grab the 1st one if you haven't yet and understanding that will help tremendously if you intend to wait until the 2nd one is out of early access in a couple months or so.
Not even in the slightest, even from Realpolitiks 1 it's very unique where as most are mainly war esq with other win conditions like a civilization style game (though politically very light), your very politically heavy games with light war like Hoi4 or CK3 or else something with more flexibility in politics and war but both very light such as Power and Rev / Geopolitical series. Realpolitiks is a very nice medium balance of everything with lots of flexibility in every category and enough random events to keep it fresh for lots of replayability and different viewpoints playing different countries etc. IMO it's just a nice different style of grand strategy that stands out as not your usual kind. I've played nearly 350 hrs of the 1st Realpolitiks, I tried Hoi4 and CK3 and (at least for my taste) found them way slower particularly at the start to really feel like I got anywhere so got bored rather quick. I have played lots of the Geopolitical series and Civ 6 I've put around 330 hrs into and quite enjoy. Anyways that's my perspective on it and look forward to putting another 300 plus hrs into Realpolitiks 2 as well, it's alot more added and fleshed out compared to the 1st and so much more I want to do with the 2nd. 👍
@@jasonjohnston6384 Thank you dude for that expo, I got a sense of it now, prob. gonna get it just to give it a go since I like these types of games yo.
@@anti-russbot5127 No prob, you can always pick up the RP1 for now, get a good grip on the elements and get RP2 once the early access is over. Lots to get used to and will prob keep you interested in playing for a couple months and will make learning the new elements in RP2 not feel overwhelming.
Do not get me wrong, early access can be a wonderful tool for small devs, but clearly the industry is not using it neither properly nor respectfully for the community.
28 minutes in and waiting for actual gameplay to start. I do wish Quill would spend a little less time just hunting through menus and describing *everything*
"realpolitik" is a German term with a specific meaning (that is not simply "real politics"). It's pronounced /reɪˈɑːlpɒlɪˌtiːk/, real as in "Real Barcelona". Politik is closer to a French-ish "politique". I love you, but please get this right.
@@CptJumper It means making decisions based on how things are turning up instead of making a grand plan and sticking to it regardless of the world situation. In simple terms, it means a national politic that adapts to its time and environment instead of sticking to a plan. It became a major thing under Bismarck, who didn't care about some higher principles, plans or alliances - he wanted unified Germany and he did everything in the time and world he lived in to make it happen. Think of it this way - you play chess and you have a certain opening in mind. But if you stick to it even if the opponent counters your planned move, you are having a problem. Realpolitik means that you are constantly shifting in a new environment. You have an end goal, but you do not have a set plan from start to finish, you make moves as they become available. Another example is, you invest in, let us say, oil industry and plan for it the next 50 years. But after 10 years the industry collapses, you can shift your focus, or you can stick to it because it is your original plan and other things depends on it. If you do the first thing, you are playing realpolitik.
Will you do any youtube vids? or just streams? cuz those streams are annoying asf! Just want to know if i need to unsub or not cuz i really hate watching streams. (the sounds, the constant distraction, not seeing what that chat is talking about but u do etc.)
He does YT videos, but it seems like the majority of his content now is streams uploaded from Twitch (on which you can watch them if you want to see what chat is talking about). If it really annoys you, I'd either unsub or go into the video with no expectations for it to be a video directly made for YT as opposed to a stream.
Guess you guys are right, also don't see him respond in the comments so probably he is to good/big for utube i guess. But good to know cuz now i know i can unsub.
The studio is literally a 4 or 5 person team from Poland but since they became active again after being dormant for quite awhile after Realpolitiks 1s new power dlc they have become quite active the last yr, fixing main glitches in 1 then talking about starting production on 2.

Sure, Quill and playing peacefully. First time hearing that.
Five minutes after unpausing: "New mission: we're going to nuke Belgium."
North west England is named Liverpool. As someone from Manchester I've never been more triggered by anything in my life.
Scousers are renowned for stealing things, so it's no great shock.
Try the whole of the south west being named Plymouth, which isn't even the biggest city in the area (though I totally see why they've done it from a military/strategic point of view).
Could have been worse, they could have called it Yorkshire.
Sad Leeds noises.
As someone from Liverpool, I'm thrilled the rightful capital of the North-West has finally been acknowledged. :p

Sounds cool to me
I think you should have the option of using the globe style but still be able to play in the Mercator one
I think games should have both. But like imagine a game like civ on a globe!

They mirrored Okoro's face. that's why the eyes look so weird.
You might as well become the president of Canada with all the micromanagement in this.
It’s technically true since Canada is more of a democracy then the US, hence why the game described Canada as such.
