I read some of the rest of thread.  Some Russian kid was going on about how the Soviet Union didn't actually invade Poland in 1939.  They just sorta picked up some territory that the Poles left.  Like finding loose change in your couch.

But worth even less!

Yeah, that was funny. When I read that post I was waiting for a smilie at the end showing the post was  tongue in cheek ... only it was not. :wacko:

I understand why you Euros don't like to consider Russia part of Europe.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Hrm, have there been any dev diaries for this? I wonder if it's getting stalled and that's why EU4 is being touted so heavily.

ending in 1991 is silly. there's no reason why the cold war would be over in the myriad of alternate worlds that game creates.
Oh well.

At the same time though, it prevents them from having to deal with the myriad of changes that stem from the rise of the internet.

Depending on how they model the prestige, economy and global tension that could be interesting in MP.
