After 85 hours the game got boring.
The game lacks of content. And feels how is only one way to play it, two games, same strategy works with every nation, if u are with a nation with low population you should priorize population (multiculturalism, health laws to decrease mortality), always u start construction, build grain, and the most expensive good in ur market, there is room for different strategies in diplomacy or u try to go alone or try to try custom union if u are small nation (try always with the british, bigger market in the game).

And by the way there is not oil in the game enought to have a superpower nation use oil with everything, u can´t have an army using oil, industries etc at the same time, and u can only get oil with conquest, IA doesnt farm oil to sell to you, is so stupid. I´m the most rich nation in the world im thristy for oil and nobody produce it :/

Advices ? good mods? some interesting nation? I got bored always in the years 1900-1910, because what i said and because the bad late game optimitation. I love the game but for this price is not enought 85 hours of fun

My advice is to wait for that 1.1 update. It looks like a lot of work to the devs so maybe it might end up shallow in the end, but we'll see.

Less than 25 days after release and the community is already suggesting overhaul/collection mods to make the game functional and enjoyable - a PDX tradition of abusing their passionate modding community for profit.

I’m thinking about teaching myself to mod. I can only imagine how much I could mold this game to be what I personally want. Difficulty off of the scales to start.

I bet that the modding community probably has just as much fun modding as they do playing.

After 50 hours I got bored with Hades, does it mean is a bad game? Despite reaching the end game, having unlocked most weapons etc etc? :p4g_singing:

You absolutely need to learn to code buddy. It's the only way your coal miners will have a long term job.

Does the AI build anything at all, or only expand buildings which were placed there at the start of the game? in that territory

Sadly the latter it seems

I'm glad the honeymoon phase is over and people have realized what a slob show this game is.
Athmet Nov 12, 2022 @ 9:52am 
So you played 5 hours / day every day since the game has been out ? Wow... yea, you might have made it and need to play something else. Always able to come back later on for more once it has 1 or more DLC.

Last I heard, PDX sent SWAT team to every modders house to threaten their families and lives. I reported them to the police. We need to end up that abuse !

That's the case at release for every PDX game btw.

I agree with the OP. I'm 78 hours in and probably on my last play-through, this time with 20 mods installed. I'm not disappointed by the experience, but I do concur that the longer you play the game, and the more you understand what is there, the less robust it appears. Certainly there will likely be a host of DLC's that add functionality and diversity to the game-play, like most PDX titles. But after this run, i expect this will sit on the shelf until the first major expansion adds something more interesting to the mix, or a new mod makes it worth trying again.

And that's 4.6 hours every day playing this game since it went out (17 days).... To be honest, I feel it did its job so far. And totally fair to shelve it until next DLC, that is how it works with those game.

Some other people will take longer to get there of course: it is not anyone who can put consistently 5 hours of video game time every single day. But they will get there eventually.

Will PDX be able to release DLC at that point ? We will see. They did took too long for CK3 which was an issue.
