(We’ll talk about migration in an upcoming diary, but this is a neat new option for small North American states.) Gives decreased build costs since buildings don’t really follow when you move. It has not been very easy finding the sorts of advancements we want but we are starting to find a good mix. They are grouped exactly like technologies, one for each power type, and you buy them with power points only they are much cheaper than the regular technologies. These are sort of like technologies or national ideas that are connected to a specific government type. First of all, we added the concept of native advancements. The idea we came up with was giving Native Americans their own tech progression, sort of in between the regular technology steps. And then you were just lucky to stay alive.īut, for example, the technology pacing needed to be that slow since the difference between Administrative technology 1 and Admin tech 2 is the difference between a tribal state and a feudal monarchy. They had fewer diplomatic options no real tech possibilities… things didn’t get to be really interesting for the North American states until the Europeans showed up. My biggest problems with playing Native Americans, until now, was always that the gameplay choices that make Europa Universalis IV great were too few and too far between for the North American natives. This is not new to Europa Universalis IV – the Divine Wind expansion for Europa Universalis III let us try some new things with major Asian countries, for example. However, expansions allow us to take another look on these things and try to address them. One of those big compromises is that while you can play as any country in the world, some of them are much less fun to play than others. It’s not surprising that when you want to squeeze all the nations in the world into this model you have to make a few compromises. However, we are making a game that covers a specific 400+ years of history - a time when some nations, mostly European, leapt from feudal states to early modern proto-industrial, states, and that, in the process, formed empires that spanned the globe. One of the central ideas of Europa Universalis has been that you can take on the role of any country in the world. This week I’m going to talk a little bit about what you can do with them. Last week I talked a little about what we’ve done with the tribes and the map of North America.
It’s Friday again! Time for another developer diary (and the traditional Friday beers of course ).
