As an eastern european this makes me very happy - to see in game the models of the planes my country used in WW2, with their roundels and paint scheme. very nice addition indeed!
As an eastern european this makes me very happy - to hear in game the songs the military of my country sung in WW2, while marching or parading. the same songs i sung in the military in my youth not so very long time ago. very nice addition indeed!
The DLC is very fun and entertaining, especially playing with the U.S.S.R. and restoring the Romanov empire or playing as Poland, restoring the commonwealth is perfect and insanely fun. Baltic countries have also been improved. On the other hand, the general trait mechanics are a very good addition to the game, as the logistics and supplies and the creme de la creme of the DLC - the tank designer which gives tons of depth to your strategies.
There is a reworked industry system now which can grant decent buffs for your weapons of war, although it could´ve used a little bit more variety in choices and less buttons to press. An arms trade system was added to get more guns for your wars or sell your surplus to boost your construction. And the new special forces tech tree which can give some powerful buffs and make them even more deciding on the front lines - or behind them! On the more particular side, northern countries got very detailed focus trees and alternate history variantsso you can fight off the Soviet menace as brave Finland, deal with a civil war in Norway, defend yourself as Denmark, struggle with neutrality as Sweden, or sit around and do next to nothing as Iceland.
Plant Race Pack + Gaia National Focus + Catalytic Processing. The last one is still strong enough although nerfed lately. Assured way to rule the galaxy whjle cruising through the ascension perks.
It's not a beginner friendly species to start with but if you have Utopia DLC as well and choose the Terravores civic to become a devouring swarm that completely turn all the planets into broken worlds that give more minerals when building mining stations around them, while all the pops from the broken world go to the capitol. Also terravore ships get passive regeneration of their hulls and armor so you can basically repair in space without the need to go back to a base.
I'm still playing it, it reminds me a lot of Warcraft 3, and that's a very positive thing for me, as i grew up playing it. The graphics are beautiful and the RTS management is more similar to Northgard, perhaps, with sectors to capture and without being able to manage the citizens directly. All in all a good game and the story is captivating.
Dunno how, dunno why, this species reminded me from the get go of the Wraiths from Stargate Atlantis and i do role-playing as them in the game. How cool is that??? The cosmetics are top notch and the species is a little bit more challenging cause it requires some extra micro-management. All in all, great to have if you wanna be the death of the xenos, literally. Oh, and you can reanimate dragons!
And the ship models are absolutely spectacular, probably the best launched for the game by Paradox. The Soldier advisor voice and comments are one of the best too.
This DLC adds buildings created by modder Silva, the greatest in the Surviving Mars universe, so it's great seeing part of the funds trickling down to him, thanks to Paradox's "generosity". Anyhow, about the buildings, some of them bring a lot to the table, to the point a part of the community think they're overpowered, but they're fun in the right context if role playing and add nice mechanics that weren't in the base game in the first place.
On Mars, domes are literally life and one can't have enough of them! It's nothing more than a cosmetic setting to apply to in-game domes but they do like mighty cool and make your colony the prettiest around!!!
Let's be honest, i'm old and i grew up playing JA1 and JA2. I was reticent at first buying JA3 because many modern sequels failed to capture the essence of the games we grew up with, maybe because nostalgia was so strong in our veteran souls and the new ones failed to live up to the hype of our expectations, either because the cancel culture of nowadays annulled many of the salty jokes that made us laugh and appreciate them games. Seems JA3 didn't get the memo - it's still the same action packed game we grew up with, full of those slimy 90-00s jokes we all enjoyed so much. Go give it a go, you won't be dissapointed. Well, maybe except by Gus's dad jokes. :)
Silence and the Fury turned the struggling Beastmen into a absolutely fantastic faction to play with, Taurox is just a pain-train all on his own never mind the rest of the new stuff. Inflict maximum damage to anyone inside your hunting grounds and revel in the bloodiest destruction you have ever seen in Warhammer 2 game setting. The gem of the dlc imo though is the Lizardmen, Oxyotl brought such an interesting campaign to play, and some fun new Lizard boys and Dinos. And yeah, i love teleportation.
You get a lot of new events and decisions and overall it feels more grounded as your character now has to physically travel to the location they want to interact with - visible on the campaign map, with all the travel during those times associated risks. Also you get some updates to existing features and systems, and there's 3 tiers of some perks given by participating in these tournaments and events.
This game has overshadowed all my expectations of a strategy game.
Graphics are great, it's amazing how detailed a strategy game can be these days, the choice of units is so big and varies, the diplomatic system has everything you need, it's not as complex as a Crusader King, but it shouldn't and doesn't need to be because the game is focused on the battles. I find the build upgrade system complex, just like the skill system of the heroes. And the devs announced they'll support the game for a few more years, although paid DLCs are also incoming alongside free patches, updates and goodies.
The game is an improvement in nearly every way over the first Spellforce 3 - faction revamps, making them more unique and giving them each a specific playstyle, the new factions, Dark Elves being a new favourite, the Gameplay revamp, with the resource system being streamlined, the new story does not disappoint, the Mercenaries Mechanic, allowing you to create a custom character of 3 races and any class combo you wish, and more. Oh and Spellforce 3's composer returned to make more excellent music (that main menu music sets a excellent mood).
One of the lasts DLCs i got, sadly, I wish I had it before... Makes the game better, definitely a must have. Really detailed industries. Thanks to this dlc you can improve your economy. The amount of money you can earn is way bigger than in the basic game.
If you play a lot in Iberia, play colonisers a lot, or want to play a pirate nation, consider this DLC as it does add new features for you to enhance your EU4 experience, especially when attempting to establish a colonial empire.
This DLC is one of the better ones so far. The new 'prosperity' mechanic makes it feasible to build tall rather than wide. The new disease mechanic makes dynasty management much more interesting, as your plans for your heirs are constantly thrown in disarray due to family members dying from various illnesses. Overall, the DLC gives many more aspects to focus on during peace time, which was something severely lacking in the game before.
Purely cosmetic. I always care most about the portrait packs, as it is the most visible. This pack includes the Finno-Ugric portrait pack is one of the best in the game
