  There is a world where Plasma release announcements are gaming news. And we are in that world. Never would have dreamed it.

  They’re slowly laying the groundwork for EU5 being released. And that means slowly end-of-lifing EU4. I expect to see more and more DLC moved slowly into the core to keep people buying EU4 for a year or two.

  Mods like Anbennar are doing more to keep EU4 alive than Paradox is, at this point.

  Looks cool. But it’s no Mako

  www.beyondallreason.info

  Looking at it, the engine is GPL: beyond-all-reason.github.io/…/choose-recoil

  But while BAR releases their source, it isn’t really open source (no derivatives): for example, with the many of the art assets, “all rights reserved”: github.com/…/license_general.txt

  It does look good, that said.

  The Recoil engine is interesting to me. It’s not something I’d seen before in the open source ecosystem (sometimes I live under a rock). I suspect the underlying mechanisms (although written for RTS games in the Total Annihilation family) might permit implementing something like a Paradox game with some tweaking.

  Ironically, Anbennar’s hold digging mechanics?

  I absolutely love the first game, although some elements get a little repetitive. I replayed it this year with all the DLC and had a blast. Played it in story mode though, and just cruised through it to get to DLC I hadn’t previously played.

  I do hope that inventory management gets cleaned up a bit. And that save games import.

  I’m assuming it’s on PC already based on this comment?
