Meh.  I guess that the last Paradox game I bought was Rome, and it's going to remain the last Paradox game I bought.

How come nobody's talked about March of the Eagles, Pdox's other game in development?...or have we? :huh:

We have a little bit.  I am looking forward to it, but am still (rightly) skeptical about it despite the success of CK 2.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Hot Cold War games and movies were fun in the 80s. Now they're just masturbation.

Yes, I did in fact masturbate about Jennifer Grey and Lea Thompson having a lesbian affair in Spetnaz camo fucking each other with strap-on RPG warheads in 1985.  Who the hell didn't.

Admit it, Powers Boothe was in that fantasy somewhere too...  :P

It's an isolated Napoleonic-era-only game.  They can't fuck it up that badly, right?

...

Please?

QuoteSoviet Union suffers worst wheat harvest in 55 years... Labor and food riots in Poland. Soviet troops invade... Cuba and Nicaragua reach troop strength goals of 500,000. El Salvador and Honduras fall... Greens Party gains control of West German Parliament. Demands withdrawal of nuclear weapons from European soil... Mexico plunged into revolution... NATO dissolves. United States stands alone.
:lol: Nice reference, but if the Soviets were forced to invade Poland then they're not exactly doing well either. ;)

:huh: They've released their two best games ever since then, EU3* and CK2.

* Was EU3 before or after Rome? Certainly a few of its better expansions were.

It is funny. Wasn't that long ago I used to read every post in every thread on p'dox's forums on its game. I remember anxiously awaiting HOI and EU2. Now, I'm falling way behind. Just saw they had a game out I never heard of...Sengoku.

Yeah.  EU3 was released in 2006.  Rome was either in very late 2007 or early 2008

Is Peter Ebbesen still around? I want him to do a WC as Fiji.

I demand he do it with Monaco.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
