Paradox Interactive games

From the other thread:



As some of you know, I'm modding WMM for Europa Universalis.

I'll be finished sometime this month, and I have to do some playtesting, and I'm thinking of doing an AAR on it.

Here are my choices:

Cyprus - Cyprus now has 3 provinces, and is quite an interesting choice from my perspective. Goals would be to see how strong you can make Cyprus now.

A Wallonian country - I have expanded in Belgium, adding new countries to the area, so when Burgundy/Hapsburg Belgium collapse, instead of Flanders owning all of Belgium, independent Belgium states get released. The goal here would be to go Wallonian State - Wallonia - Belgium - Netherlands. The options to play as will be Tournai, Hainut and Namur. I have already played a Belgium game recently though, and I still haven't completed it so...

A Romanian country - Romania has gotten reworked, and I hope they are now done well enough that they aren't any more just 'Buffer States' between Poland, Hungary, Ottoman Empire and Golden Horde. Modolva ideally can survive a Hungarian invasion, but we will see. Choices here to play is Wallachia, Transylvania, Modolva and a creatable Basarabia since it starts with a core.

Bohemia or Slovakia - I have reworked both regions, I could try playing as them.

Poland - Redone, I will most likely play this on my own time, but if people really want to see me try to achieve World Conquest with Poland, than so bet it. :p (Note, i'm not serious about WC) (Second Note: I might add some Polish minors as well, I'll maybe try playing as them as well)

Lithuania - Also redone.

Zaporozhia, Crimea, Ukraine, Some random tiny country from the area i'll mod in - Area remade a bit as well, Would be interesting game.

Teutonic Order - I have never played as Teutons before despite my awareness of it being a fun game, because I can never conquer Poland as them. Or rather, never have the will to do so. However, you guys can force me to do so through AAR. :p Entire Baltic area is reworked.

Portugal/Spain/Leon/Galicia/Catalonia/Aragon/Basque - I have redone Venezuela and Colombia, someone else has redone Mesoamerica and is currently flavoring it, and he asked me to take a look at fixing up Peru. The guy is a Brazilian and has also reworked on Brazil previously. South America is quite different. We can try playing a Colonizing game. Spain has been done by me numerous times, Portugal IMO is to boring and easy for me. I don't want to do Aragon or Catalonia because Tanicius Fox's AAR is on them. (or was on them...) Your picks...

Balkans country - Balkans are fairly redone, Croatia has 9 provinces (with Ragusta and Istria) Serbia has 8 provinces (with Vojvodina, Macedonia, Nis) etc. Plus some new countries. Should be fun. :)

Take a little vote on it and i'll make my AAR on the winner.

Nobody responded in the other thread, well maybe i'll get some attention here.
 
Ahhh no! Johan has reported on the forum thats he's injured his arm and is on painkilldrs so can't programme!:cry: Means extra wait for patches etc
 
Is he their only programmer? He should still be able to review code, even if he can't type it in...
 
Wait, so he didn't have a busted arm and was on painkillers when HOI3 was released?

/cheapshot
 
In fairness to Johan, it's entirely possible that he was aware that HoI3 wasn't ready, but was
overruled by the marketeers.

There isnt any patches due anyway, I think. HoI3 won't be getting any more patches til January at least, HttT is out in two weeks and I'm guessing everyone else at PI is working in V2.

On the plus side it turns out he's a lefty like me, making me love PI even more!

HOI3 needs another patch, but it's just ai improvments now rather than bugs and so on. The US AI needs a fair bit of work as does Japan. Also Germany needs some tweeks ot make it behave a bit more 'historically' (also read@Sensiably) in it's invasions. The arm was given as a main reason why it won't happen before January at least.

Also Vicky 2 is looking awesome, i've been pleased with what the development diaries have revealed so far! They would be working on EU:3 Heir To The Throne as well:) Whiuch looks relaly good, and like super-blob France will be a thing of the past!

Vicky looks amazing, I cannot wait for it... today's DD should be good, I've never been so excited about the release of a game. HttT looks really cool too, I have a vision of creating a greater Serbia too...
 
I don't recall seeing final versions of the Balkan area map, the new France from today's DD looks fantastic though.

Didn't think I'd say this, but I'm gonna hold off on HttT. Why? Cos I've fallen into the trap of MMP2. Even with the improvements in the expansion, I don't think I could go back to vanilla EU3 :p

Speaking of upcoming Paradox games, I have to admit Arsenal of Democracy looks very very interesting. Probably won't want to pay full game price for it, but if it retails at, say, £15-20, I'll almost certainly pick it up, as HoI3 probably still has a couple more patches to go before it's as good as Paradox's other work.
 
Which is supposed to come out in 15 days, at least according to Wikipedia.
