Why Can't We Import Our Own Flag Images Yet?
Why the hell do we still not have the simple option to change country flags by just importing an image from the gallery???
​
It honestly frustrates me 😒. It feels like such a basic feature to add, and on top of that, we've been asking for it for YEARS. Why doesn't this option exist in the "definitive" version???
What if the story was perfect for France?
Basically, in this universe almost everything turned out very well for France, the high point being the Napoleonic Wars which established France as a hegemonic world power.
E se as fronteiras da América do sul fossem assim?
Sobre o Chile estar anexado à República Platina (Argentina), a ideia é que Argentina e Chile nunca se separaram. Durante o período colonial, ambos fizeram parte da mesma administração espanhola, desenvolveram uma identidade muito próxima e permaneceram unidos após a independência.
O Paraguai dentro da República Platina pode ser comparado à Irlanda dentro do Reino Unido: uma região com identidade própria, historicamente instável e frequentemente fonte de tensões políticas.
Já o Uruguai e a Guiana fazem parte do Brasil graças a uma série de sucessos portugueses. A Banda Oriental foi colonizada e consolidada por Portugal antes que a Espanha pudesse garantir seu controle, enquanto a Guiana foi anexada durante o período joanino e reconhecida como compensação pelas invasões napoleônicas. Após a independência, o Brasil manteve ambos os territórios.
A Guerra do Pacífico nunca aconteceu porque o Chile não existe. Antofagasta continuou boliviana, garantindo o acesso da Bolívia ao mar, e o Peru manteve seus territórios do sul. Além disso, a República Platina precisava dedicar boa parte de sua atenção às constantes tensões no Paraguai, o que reduzia qualquer interesse em aventuras expansionistas no Pacífico.
E se o sonho de bolívar tivesse dado MUITO certo? (Tbm vencendo algumas disputas fronteiriças contra o império do Brasil)
Age of History II Definitive Edition Feels Better to Play… But Worse to Look At
Age of History II Definitive Edition is objectively better than the original in almost every technical aspect… but something about the new assets genuinely bothers me.
The UI is cleaner, the mechanics are improved, the game feels more polished overall, and yet I can’t fully enjoy looking at it. I don’t even know how to explain it properly, the art style, icons, colors, borders, menus… something feels weirdly sterile, lifeless, and honestly kinda ugly to me. The original game looked simpler and rougher, but it had a strange charm and identity that the Definitive Edition lost somewhere along the way.
And the weirdest part is that this actually lowers my desire to play the game. Technically, I know it’s superior. But aesthetically, something feels off every time I open it, and I end up wanting to go back to the original instead.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Or does anyone else think the Definitive Edition somehow lost part of the visual charm and atmosphere of the original game?
Started as Tiny Portugal, Ended as a Global Maritime Empire, My Most Painful but Satisfying Campaign Yet!
I started this Portugal run thinking it would be a fun colonial campaign. It turned into pure suffering. Spain almost destroyed me early on until France saved my entire run, Africa was constant betrayal and coalition chaos, Brazil became a nightmare war that dragged all of South America into madness, and Indonesia took an absurd amount of effort to finally annex. Somehow, after hours of rage, failed wars, panic, and diplomacy held together by pure desperation, I ended up restoring a massive global Portuguese Empire with the Pink Map, Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, and multiple major powers as vassals. Easily the hardest and most stressful campaign I’ve ever finished.
my great Spanish colonial empire (I spent the whole afternoon doing this)
I spent a lot of time playing this. I ended up annexing a lot of territory and releasing some as vassals—one of them was Mexico. In the end, I gave them back the territories they lost in the Mexican-American War. Interestingly, they became the second great power in my save lol.
