Where exactly do we get our tritium from anyway? Just as a question?

The moon, I think.

[Greenbane]

Yeah, but not really. Mostly it was just about shooting people.

Any Paradox-style grand strategy game set in the Cold War period wouldn't be able to ignore said Cold War. Even the space race had a strong role in it.

Maybe it's not the usual Paradox style, but even then, chances are the hint simply implies the game isn't set in a 1945-1991 timeframe.

Lets see here...  They rules out a bunch of ancient history already, since it's a new IP and they covered most of medieval history.

Tech is important as well, so lets assume it's after or during the industrial revolution, so after 1760.

New IP.  Lets assume they arn't going to rehash the timelines of any of their other IP's.

EU is set from 1444 to 1821.  Victory from 1836 to 1936.  Hearts of iron is from 1936 to 1948.

Not during the cold war.  That rules out 1947 to 1991.

So since it's after the industrial revolution, if we assume it doesn't step on the timelines of any existing IP's, it has to take place after 1991.

SPESS GAME

Leader characters play an important role in the game.

That was today's preview, and I don't think someone has posted it here already.

Oh how I wish it will be Paradox flavoured Alpha Centauri. Although personally I'm betting a Dune-esque space 4X.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

So if the Lead-er characters are the most important, we can assume that density is the most important factor in the setting. Thus reveling it to be a heavy metal poisoner assassination game. In the name of Putin!

Our actual, present-day tritium production?  Heavy water reactors or the irradiation of Li-6 (triggering neutron activation and causing it to split into regular He-4, the desired H-3, and a bit of energy).  Obtaining it from He-3 (which H-3 decays into) or regular fission is generally impractical, and the US' heavy water reactors that were used for producing tritium were actually shut down back in 1988; as far as I can tell, all remaining US production of H-3 is conducted at Watts Bar or a dedicated H-3 production facility, both of which use lithium rods.  It helps that you don't actually need a lot of it at all; commercial demand for it is only on the level of hundreds of grams in a year.

It's supposedly been confirmed to be another grand strategy game.

I thought 4x was a sub-genre of Grand?

[a1s]

I have seen things you people wouldnt believe...

Blade Running Sim?

edit: well actually that speech is all about space (on the surface of it.)

[Greenbane]

Definitely a sibling at least.

Conceptually, eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate apply very well.

[Karlito]

A steam page was up briefly, and then quickly taken down, but someone managed to grab this.

Awww Yisss Europa Stellaris. This is going to be awesome.
