On the other hand if you colonize Madagascar you got the most resilient place in the world when it comes to plagues.

Dat Plague Inc. reference dere.

HURG

IT WAS FROM PANDEMIC YOU GIT!

[a1s]

In all seriousness, I'm really looking forward to this as it would be a good setting for mods that you couldn't do in HOI 3, like a One-Year War (Gundam) mod.

I thought  HOI was doing well for mods? Or do you mean "You can't do space battles in HOI 3"? (I really have no idea if that's true, there's a space mod for CKII, so why not HOI3?)

They're both the same game.

The issue was more to do with the One Year War had both a planetary theater of war and a space theater of war. You can do one of either, but it is really hard to do both.

Are we talking this Pandemic? Because then no, not by a long shot.



I'm jazzed. Even if this turns out to be Crusader Kings in Space, that alone is a good thing. I'm hoping somebody does a HOI3->Stellaris converter.

Pandemic the online flash game.  I don't think it has any direct relation to the board game Pandemic; you play it the other way around, as the virus taking over the world.

EDIT: I think this is where you can find it now.  Sorry, it's been a few years for me, and I didn't pick up Plague, Inc. yet.

[Shadowlord]

It's free on android (with some features being unlockables or something).

[Kot]

I indeed confirm that I played Pandemic first, though I played Plague Inc.
Except that Plague Inc. Madagascar is nothing compared to Pandemic Madagascar, it's just not that big thing anymore, the other places are worse. The reference lost it's strength.

[Besserwisser]

There's even a popular German song about some guys on a pestilence-infested ship who just can't get on the damn island.

PTW.

Yeah, Iceland is worse than Madagascar in Plague Inc. Pandemic Madagascar is awful. Honestly, the only game I ever won with it was one where I started in Madagascar.

[BFEL]

I won my very first game of Pandemic, I don't think I started in Madagascar, I just got lucky enough to spread there before President Madagascar noticed someone coughing on the fucking moon.

Haven't won a game since

Pandemic went beyond challenging and into the realm of artificial difficulty. That's why I prefer Plague Inc. It's more balanced.

Its also not free, but we should probably stop cluttering the thread with our disease and get back to our spacemans

I'm unreasonably hyped about this, considering how badly all awesome-on-paper 4X have failed in the past. Knowing Paradox, this will be buggy as hell on release and require ten DLCs to rise to its full potential. Plus the most awesome content will be provided by modders. I still want to preorder it though.

It is like dating a girl who is malicious idiot, but just so goddamn hot you can't help yourself.

[Toaster]

PTW, certainly.

To be fair, CK2 wasn't as buggy as some others when it first came out.  Maybe they're learning a bit; this is also a new IP so first impressions matter harder.
