The Realtime attachment UI is actually pretty sick haven't seen a game that has that.

I hope my PC will survive after launching this project in the future

Do you have a discord or anything?

I can already see how incredible this project will be! But clearly a huge undertaking, I wish you nothing but success 🥳

Looking really neat! I apologize if it was shared in a previous video (I haven't watched those yet), but how did you get the height map terrain thing to work with the provinces? It looks really pretty.

hi make more video tutorials unreal engine 5 thx

Super immersive work! Can't wait to see the finished product. A super small and quick demo of single province using this method would be a really helpful pointer on how to implementing something similar in other projects. Love the work and will follow along!

This is absolutely amazing, looks exactly on par. How would this compare to something like the Total War grand strategy map, or is it pretty similar? I'm curious how you made the geometry of the map, using any plugins? This may be out of scope, but I'm guessing these provinces can't dynamically update their borders, but I'm curious how one may approach that. For instance showing how borders may change over time or update borders when conquered.

March of eagles 2 look promising

Okay, this is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time and something I've wanted for a long time. If I could make video games I would certainly do something like this.

Awesome Project ! But how can i solve the lagging/low FPS issue on the weapons

Can you share a video how to start making this interactive map? no need to share complete tutorial, just wanted to know where to and how to start making it... I want to create one but I can't find any tutorials for making interactive map in Unreal Engine so far.

THE VERY FIRST TO MAKE THIS TUTORIAL THANK YOU!!!

awesome !

This looks awesome!! I've tried so many times to get into grand strategy games and it's been a challenge for me, but I really want to have the time to put in to understand one someday. 😆 I know you're early in development, but I'm a professional composer for games and I'd love to chat with you and send some demos if you're interested. You can find my official demo reel and contact info on my KZfaq channel description. Keep up the great work!

Can this game simulate other time periods, like the early medieval era for example? 😉

Mountains are looking a bit too spikey imo, Maybe it would be good to tone down the exaggeration on the topography heightmap a bit, or even possibly give the player options for that in the graphics settings.

Are there going to be world empires or is it going to be realistic so that we don't see a Great Luxembourgian empire of Eurasia?

Make sure countries start with historical debt! One reason the Austrian empire was weaker than it ought have been was the high level of government debt it carried throughout the 19thC. Also the Russian empire had a very limited ability to raise taxes which was a structural issue that contributed to its collapse in WW1.

Where did you get province map and the height map? How do you render country name on map?

Please make this as an asset on the store. I would pay money for it immediately. I actually am working on a similar project but set in ww2 and this will be perfect for my project. As you mentioned there isnt many videos online on how its done, so if you cant make detailed tutorials. I would gladly buy it on the marketplace.

Main thing about this i gotta comment on so far i believe the map is generally just very dark

Hay sorry cool dicord ?

ну, надеюсь у тя получится

I love what you’re doing, man! Finally someone who goes for the grand strategy with a full fledged plan and good ideas/skills. Will be following you in this endeavour, keep it up!!!!!!

Macedonians are not Bulgarians, Dubrovnik was Serbian in 19th century and the proof is easy to find - Austrian census nd also Krajina was 90% Serbian Orthodox population, they weren't a minority as this map shows.

Whats the point of deleting comments? Macedonians are not bulgarians!

Hoi 6 or Eu 6 ?

Godspeed you goddamn madman

Unreal Engine does have superior graphics and is superior in many ways. But nothing beats free and open source in the long run. Godot are slowly winning indie's and now some small studios.

Bologna, not Bolonga. Looks great otherwise!

Now this is intriguing.

If you listed the map editor to purchase in the store, I'd buy it ASAP. I always wanted to create worlds with Paradox-style interaction

Looks great

The way you assign the right colour to each province is insane yet genius. Bravo! We need more developers like you

I always wanted to do something like that part with the map, but I am just too stupid to even start it. To bad.

Always wanted a 3d globe map game.

So I guess this is a "suggestion" but I don't want to come off as 'telling you how to make your own darn game'. You obviously may do as you wish. I'm mostly curious about the economy. Mostly 'Production' and 'Trading'. When you say that you have a system where provinces all make one good each is that just a good of any description? Or do you mean something like victoria ii's style 1 RGO with factories separate? You can break goods down into to categories like: mineable/farmable (RGO) (i.e. comes out of the ground) and value-added (i.e. made with factory from other goods). Now, if it were my game (which it's not) I would say just let every province have a 'production modifier' for every kind of good that is an RGO and for some the modifier is just '0' (if there is no oil then you can't produce it). After that one could just treat mineable and farmable resources like factories i.e. a basic farm is just a factory that takes no inputs and makes food. I'm also pertinently interested in the market. Trading, not just between countries but within the, is something I've never seen handled really well by any game. Most games use a simplistic approach to things like pricing and usually have magic, free transportation. I totally understand if the same thing happens here too. You mentioned having not only different currencies but different types of currency. That sounds really cool. Also sounds like a nightmare to implement and then actually balance game-play wise. (I could imagine a lot of potential exploits from this) Overall I think this looks really cool and you clearly have a lot of talent. It would be amazing seeing a well optimized (c++!) grand strategy game for once lol. I wish you the best of luck.

This looks very cool, did you plan on opening a discord server? Understandable if you dont want to worry about stuff like that at this point but I think that just having a Server for the development, contributions, questions etc would be pretty nice. Cant wait for whats coming :))

I'm a UE tech artist and have been brainstorming the best way to do this in unreal for a long time, and you've pretty much matched my thoughts 1:1, which is comforting since it tells me I'm not insane :D Really excited to see other people working on stuff like this, as you mentioned basically nobody has been and the resources are very slim.

Can you please make a tutorial where you explain how you did achieve the movement of units from province to province, with a line (arrow) drag from start to destination? That i cannot find any kind of tutorials how to achieve it! thanks in advance!

UI can be improved other than that it looks good I will keep an eye on the development👍

Nice

Good job man

It is interesting that you are doing grand strategy in Unreal. Have you found that this works better than Godot or Unity?

new EU4?? ;)))

i absolutely hate the province good EU 4 style system, its utter nonsence, vic 2 or 3 would be a much better example of an actual economy.

Appreciate your hard work ❤

could you add teyrnllwg as an releasable nation? I want to do a teyrnllwg world conquest

I know that you have your own vision for your game and it mostly follows vic2 but one thing that would be great and can be implented even in the province system is the distinction between rural and urban areas. That can be done by making separate provinces for most large enough cities that existed in that time. This will allow your game to represent massive population movement that happened in the process of urbanization at the time and differences between these areas in general. Maybe there could be a dynamic system of province creation and destruction, but that's seems like to difficult to implement and too taxing on the performance.
