Steam always release games 1am on the next day here.

It is still evil to release the game on Monday, why not end of the week? Evil Paradox.

Well they can use all week to patch up any glitches or bugs that might pop up during launch.
Rather than let you wait a whole week-end for the patches to arrive.

Speak for yourself. As someone with an irregular work schedule (paper carrier, tuesday/wednesday are like my weekend while saturday/sunday FUCKING SUCK ASSHOLES) I appreciate their release date.
Even moreso that they decided to give me something to distract myself with while my mom goes in for surgery.

Pft, this is the internet. No other opinions are allowed, only mine are the correct ones, of course.

Only 9 days till we get to go out into space.  Not sure if I want my first run to be a custom alien race, or humans.

Anyway, watching a certain fungusy stream and noticing several ineffectual one planet independence rebels popping up.  Makes me think, have any of you ever seen independence rebels create a nation that survives in the long term?  In any Paradox game I mean.  I've never seen it that I can remember.

Rarely. I've seen a handful of oddities like Normandy conquering half of northern France, but independence rebellions never amount to anything unless the nation is already in deep shit.

I've seen plenty, but, as said, the ruling nation needs to be in Deep Shit and falling to pieces all over for them to thrive. It's always nice to see what should be a doomed minor rise up from the heart of some blobby empire and blob across the land in turn.

Not always. Particularly not when YOU are the blobby empire and suddenly 20000 strong rebels after you get wrecked in a war. And then your brother decides "oh cool I see you're occupied with those rebels over there, lemme just take your everything" and then the last ten hours of your life go to waste.

As much as I like Crusader Kings, it sure makes a point of reminding me it doesn't like me back. The fucking tsundere bitch.

How do you think Persia shows up? The collapse of the Timurid will create other nations too. I've also seen Ming completely collapse to independence movements as well.

I can't wait for this game, its becoming difficult.

To tide you over: a civ creator.  Its super incomplete, it has none of the cosmetic stuff except name, and the starting tech/planet/FTL choices are missing.  But its something.

[Majestic7]

Squeeeeeee, just one week. I'm emotionally ready for the game to be buggy and unstable at launch, as long as it isn't just plain boring and shitty like my worst disappointment ever, MOO3.

Someone posted this pages and pages ago... it being buried in posts seems like a good enough reason to re-post it, since it's pretty neat.
