Patter Song posted:By the way, my computer's currently undergoing repairs, but a certain man with a Mitch Lawrence-in-wizard's-garb avatar gifted me a copy of Iron Cross on condition that I LP it. Next week when my computer's back on its feet I...may...hold up my end of the bargain. Do it do it do it I want to see this if only for the flavor text. How many times will courage push the bravery?

It's a skill, and it's not the skill that these guys normally rely on. Doing live streams is loving terrifying :s

Phlegmish posted:Do it do it do it Iron Cross is "How can you sell this in good conscience" bad. Using it forces you to destroy a preexisting copy of either HOI2, Arsenal of Democracy, or Darkest Hour. The only way the base game will be playable again is uninstalling the whole mess and starting over. If I did an Iron Cross thread it'd need a "don't buy this game" bolded and italicized with links to Paradox titles you should get instead, like the EU4 preorder or March of the Eagles.

I met him once, thought he was an alright guy to share a drink with, but he's known in some places for being... aggressively unresponsive to fan criticism? Username on the Pdox fora is King.

Autonomous Monster posted:Scottish guy. Overweight, wears glasses. Was responsible for Ricky (just the expansion), and V2. Scottish Thatcherite (Let that sink in!!), to be precise. All around arsehole, good riddance. By the way: Shadow President did get an interesting sequel by the name of 'CyberJudas'. It was more or less the same thing, but with a world updated to the year 1993. What made it special was the (optional) addition of a traitor plot that you had to uncover before everything went to hell. The traitor would randomly antagonize countries in your name by way of - depending on the difficulty level - economic sabotage, coups, assassinations, or - the most fun - nuclear strikes. The last one was great because as opposed to the other actions the nuclear strikes always occured between two foreign countries without American involvement. They were amazing world-changers, so I always let them happen and only nabbed the traitor after he was done with them. I really want another iteration of that game, made according to modern game design sensibilities and with the possibility of choosing a different starting nation. I've been waiting for this kind of game for almost two decades now, and Superpower 2 was SUCH a disappointment...

This is hilariously terrible. P-devs its not too late to throw your weight around and save this game. E: I mean from these "ministers" not from it actually being a WW3 game.

If the game is good, it's a dumb idea but I can at least see the reasoning in having community members cameo as members of minor parties that will never actually get elected most games.

I just don't understand why you would do this for a timeframe in which there are many real names and biographies, easily accessible from public historical records (some of whom are still alive, for Christ's sake) and Paradox has shown you can make a nod to actual history that is centuries older.

I'm hoping this is just some insane marketing ploy, and will be a mode that you can switch on/off or something. And not the default game. God please not the default game.

Like other people have said, I can get sneaking a fan in as a potential Maoist leader of Kuwait or fascist leader of St. Lucia, but there's no justification for needing fan-submitted politicians for goddamn Canada when any rear end in a top hat with an Internet connection could come up with someone in Canada with whatever viewpoint in the right time period.

In fact, any rear end in a top hat with access to the internet could probably find an actual leader of an actual political party with that viewpoint in Canada. It's just bizarre. edit: Some people in the Canada thread are posting actual historical leaders of that type for Canada as submissions. They are doing the dev teams work for them.

I'm hoping that this is an addon or something for fun and they're not using this to replace doing the research to figure out names. You guys obviously have researchers, pay them to do their job.

This We Are The World thing turned EvW from a disappointment into a disaster. It would be a cute idea for filling out the cabinets of tiny or ahistorical or separatist states for which not a whole lot of records exist, but they're accepting submissions for countries like Belgium and Canada and Finland for which a trip to Wikipedia should be sufficient for finding a ton of potential leaders of every available ideology. I hope the inevitable failure of EvW doesn't deter Paradox from making a proper Cold War game in the future.

Apparently they're taking suggestions for historical leaders too so I guess they really are just trying to cut corners. I'd post asking for clarification but I don't really feel like getting banned from the paradox forums.
