Europa Universalis IV announced

[Norgy]

I was a bit surprised that "Hymns of The Old Gods" in CK2 didn't include more Black Metal.

Indeed, because I don't think they went by Varg's nowadays line of thought that Black Metal is "Negro music" (understatement for people at work).

There are several reports of the AI not taking the target's alliances into account before declaring war, totally messing up the diplomatic landscape. Anyone noticing that?

For Protestant to resolve:

#66: 5 / Sea Beggars
Dutch gain political control of any unoccupied port space in the Netherlands. Switch religious influence to Protestant if not already. Add one Dutch galleon and one Dutch regular to the space. If the space chosen is Brielle or Flushing, add a second Dutch galleon. If Spain controls a port connected to the North Sea, the Protestant receives a free Piracy roll. Place a Piracy marker in the North Sea, skip to Step 5 of the Piracy procedure and have Protestant roll 3 piracy dice against Spanish North Sea ports.

Right historical time period, wrong thread.

I've been noticing that more and more Wiz seems to be taking PR tips from Johan. :awk:

Oh and from their update today, does appear that Florence will finally make its official debut in the EU series.

[Josephus]

You mean by his short, snappy answers and general disregard to people who play the game?

[garbon]

Yes, exactly. If one doesn't have something nice to say, probably best not to engage with the public. Seems a bit unprofessional to speak with one's customers that way, even (perhaps particularly) when they deserve a sock in the mouth.

Self-awareness isn't the strongest attribute of the Paradox folks since Patrick (I think that was the name of the one community friendly guy Paradox had years ago).

[Habbaku]

What thread should I go to to see the fireworks?

[garbon]

Oh no thread in particular, really just any of the threads with the p'dox logo that Wiz has posted in since CS came out on Tuesday.

[Habbaku]

I did find a couple of sarcastic posts that, while not really damning, should not be made by a game dev on their own forum.  Though, really, the douchebags he's responding to do deserve some smacking.

[Norgy]

I find the "development" feature a bit off. It doesn't feel right to be able to up your taxbase etc like that.

[Caliga]

Why not?   I'm not saying you are wrong, but it seems like a centrally-planned economy should be able to do something like that.... not that all nation states of that era had such economies, by any means.
