He then makes an indiegogo the day of the cancellation to scam other folks out of money, and then he has all these crazy "theories" too? drat.

 Is this even proper Latin? Also, quote:Quantum Entanglement: Inner/Outer-World synchronization effects and their impact on reality, sounds and scents. Learn how to effectively employ the skill of psychokinesis. quote:This EBook goes already pretty deep and gives you access to material that had in the past been reserved for high-level Illuminati and ascended masters. Yet, there is even more. If you are interested in the exact and pinpointed scientific mechanics (Uncertainty Relation, Wave Function, Imaginary Unit, Euler’s Identity, etc.) make sure to check out Perception and NATVRA that cover these in full. The Illuminati uses quantum mechanics to practice witchcraft. It all makes sense now.

But then that's how scam artists work usually. The money he stole could have been used to "kickstart" these projects. This is all personal speculation as I only know of the internal scam. The events happening now are news to me too.

There was a guy on the Paradox forums who put in a pre-order for EvW through Amazon.de, and despite the fact that Amazon apparently does not take your money until it ships a product, he is arguing that this pre-order means that Paradox made a contract with him to give him the game, he is not satisfied with a refund, and will sue them for false advertising if they do not release it. He has subsequently finger-in-ears ignored everyone pointing out how insane this is and is demanding an official statement from PI on the matter.

I haven't been following EvW very closly (or was even aware of it's existence before last week), but why would you pre-order a F2P, or pay-what-you-want, or whatever the hell they were doing with it game? Why would Amazon even list something like that? A WWII to Perestroika game would be pretty fun, but given how much the world changes in the span of 50 years I don't know how anyone would accurately model it. I tend to avoid all the drama because I'm only on the Paradox forums to keep an eye on HoI4 news releases and dev. journals, but I sometimes wonder why this company's fan base has such a high rate of personality disorders and severe mental health issues.

"Why won't Paradox make a game past WWII, there are too many WWII games! It doesn't matter that Hearts of Iron still sells gangbusters compared to everything else and that a poor showing would prevent them from returning to the Cold War in the future like EU: Rome did, IwantitIwantitIwantitIwantit!" *Spins around on aisle floor, screaming lungs out as Firaxis and Creative Assembly walk by, shaking their heads sympathetically.*

WilliamAnderson posted:You think they were competent? Not that this makes the EvW-in-HoI4 proposal any more feasible, but reminder that the BL-Logic already did have one release under their belt: Arsenal of Democracy. Now, one might say that the lack of a new map, the lack of modding integration and the general drying-up of support for AOD after some months with some issues still unresolved may have been warning signs, but actually having a released game was a significant notch on yor bedpost compared to all other mod teams that try to break into full gaming development.

It's all theorycrafting anyway, as Paradox's experience with the engine-leasing experiment (DH and AoD were well made but sold poorly, MM and EvW crashed and burned, the former resulting in them losing the rights to Clausewitz, oops) has led them to call off any future leasing of their engines to third parties.

I've been playing around with some stuff in HoI 3. I used the noneutrality cheat to make Sweden join the Allies and DoW Germany. It turns out a couple corps of INF+AT can hold off the Germans indefinitely behind a level 10 fort, level 10 radar, and level 10 provincial AA (all courtesy custom game and deleting the Swedish navy for extra ICd). Here's the weird part. It's late 1942 and Germany hasn't declared war on the Norway, the Low Countries, or the Soviet Union. I think the Germany AI won't DoW Belgium/Netherlands until Norway is conquered, and if it has an ongoing conflict in Denmark (even across the Oresund I guess) it won't invade Norway. It can't attack the Soviet Union until its forces are freed up on the Western Front due to Molotov-Ribbentrop. I've tried various forms of this "stop Germany from taking Scandinavia" thing, as Britain as well for instance, and the result always seems to be the same. I think the German AI has a specific progression that it follows, Poland->Scandinavia->Low Countries->France->Soviet Union, and if you interrupt it anywhere it just stops, even if it has the resources to say, conquer France through Belgium (after all it only needs a single corps to defend Copenhagen from Malmo). Has anyone else encountered this, or is anyone else aware of whether this is true?

This sucks. I had finally just gotten into HOI3 with Black Ice, and was really looking into EvW. I'd really like to play a post WW2 scenario, but DH/AoD is always super broken by the time it gets to that point.
