    I like how the conversion mod sabatoged Rome for EU4. If the converter kept Rome together like it should have it would have pushed through most of Asia by the end game

      Yeah, I was worried about that, but was happy when it fell apart. On retrospect I prob should have set Rome to inherit the HRE mechanics when converting, but it worked out ok.

    Wow, for a game started in Imperator this turned out surprisingly great. With a little editing and pruning it would have been a perfect run. Macedonian culture completely dominating all of Egypt to the point Greece got independence in Egypt is where it kind of fell apart, but I love the Norse Iranians being a major power in Europe and the map is surprisingly sensible in some places it usually isn't. Caucoensia being part of Italian unification was also pretty horrifying.
    I feel like if this were vanilla Imperator the old world would basically just be ROMAN Greek and INDIAN culture and nothing else with Mithraism dominating like always.

    I like that the Italians basically got revenge on the north Europeans for destroying their Roman Empire in the EU4 and Vic2 eras by winning WWII and basically forming an alliance of authoritarian empires from across world cultures and colonising space to become the greatest galactic civilisation, not the best ending if you were a regular person, but damn does it make a great comeback story.

    Roman culture survived in Two Sicilies at the end of EUIV but Rome didn't so I'd consider it the successor of Rome at the time. Then the Two Sicilies conquered Italy and formed it in Victoria 2, then they subjugated the entire world in HOIIV. Roman Empire win?

    • @GeneralPol
      @GeneralPol  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would say EU4, you can take your country and conquer the entire world, only prob is there is a lot of DLC, but you could subscribe to them. CK3 is good too, and covers a good chunk of history but its more focused on your character and dynasty. Hoi4 is good, but focuses on a very brief window in time, Victoria albeit longer is similar (focus on economics). Imperator is dead unfortunately from PDX perspective, but the Invictus mod keeps it going, if that era interests you then u really on have to get the base game. NOTE: All these games be on sales regularly, so keep an eye out for a bargain!

      чувак, мегакампаниям лет примерно столько же, сколько движку клаузевитц
      можно почувствовать привкус олдскула и сделать конверсию eu: rome (2008) -- ck2 (2010) -- eu3 (2007) -- v2 (2009) -- darkest hour (2011)
      самый старый таймлапс по мегакампании вышел ещё в 2015 году, а текстовые aar по кампаниям я читал ещё в 2011 году
      это всё не в укор тебе, просто чтобы больше знал и не попадал в глупые ситуации с дурацкими обвинениями
