You got me.  My heart jumped, for the split second it took to get to the next line.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

Paradox games have always been games to play whilst listening to your own music or podcasts.

Yeah. I don't know the last time I listened to the game music in Europa. I tend to always seek out music from the location and time frame I'm playing in.

The soundtrack, that is. :P


It's got a very 19th century sound or later.  Even Falalalan sounds like it was remixed by Hans Zimmer for Sony Pictures.

I'll suffer through the EU V music. I really, really, really want this game now. NOW. Johan, I know you are here at times, so chop, chop.

In the tradition of Paradox games, the feedback thread for Carpathia and Balkans has been locked. It lasted since November and hit over 100 pages, which is much longer than I'd expect.  :lmfao:

Had a look at the last few pages to see what the trigger was, but it's an endless discussion of Albanian names (filtered through historical transcriptions by church/Ottomans) and what that means for the ethnic makeup of the area. :nerd:

I feel it's one of those things where you'll never find a reasonable compromise. Though maybe just creating a single "Balkan" ethnicity would solve that. :P

Albanian nationalists are fun.
Most "good" tavernas in Durrës has a map showing Kosovo and parts of Epirus as part of Albania.

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.

Steam needs to fix their algorithm:

"This game doesn't look like other things you've played in the past. As such we don't have much information on whether or not you might be interested in it."

I have hundreds of hours on EUIV and Vic2+3.
