A Buttery Pastry posted:It's the principle of the thing. Let a mod get away with that once, and soon they'll own Paradox Interactive. I just checked, and there's nothing that specifically forbids me from owning all of Paradox Interactive, Paradox Development Studio and sovereign nation of France. So my first order to Johan & co. is to complete these baby games they are currently working on as fast as possible, and start developing Rome 2 and Vicky 3. And for France to invade England, it's been awhile.

I stopped visiting pdox forums long ago, but stories about Serbian nationalism, power mad modders, and revolts over screen shots of hoi4 make for great stories. It's the age old question- if you are a sperg lord do you know you are wasting your life or do you just think Johan is trying to water down your vision of the perfect game?

Meanwhile a poster in the HoI 4 How We Changed the World thread has uncovered the truth behind International Women's Day :quote:Just pointing out the obvious heavy leftist bias in including Gerda Taro and excluding Leni Riefenstahl. But there's no shame in being proudly pro-Communist, right? It's not like communists ever did anything bad like Nazis, right? Besides, it's a communist celebration anyway. Spoilers: turns out he's a stormfront member too! What a nice crowd they have over at the Paradox forums.

Mortabis posted: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). Level 10 forts are essentially indestructible in HoI3. I've seen provinces endure full years of continuous assault thanks to level 10 forts.

I'm almost entirely certain installation strikes do not damage province fortifications; only province anti-air and radar, I think.

CrusherEAGLE posted:How much of my time is this going to consume? Answer a) I think EUIII accounted for, uh... a fifth? A third?! Of my total game-playing time between the years of 2007 and 2013. Which is just loving terrifying to contemplate, like what the gently caress am I even doing with my life?  Answer b) If you want to play through an entire grand campaign, 1444 ~ 1821 (most people bug out about halfway through, I think), it's going to take you upwards of twenty or thirty hours. The game is a massive timesink. Also it has its own thread, which you might find useful.

Update on How We Changed the World: 2/5 threads are locked. Here are some choice quotes:quote:I'm not arguing for "racial purity", but for the preservation of the indigenous European peoples. quote:I'm sure everyone featured here would have done the right thing and filled their country with muslims like today's Sweden.  quote:I'm so glad that the Paradox development team is hard at work on feminist propaganda rather than fixing the game! quote:For instancee hierarchy, authority, and conflict are part of the masculine sphere, whereas equality, consensus, and accommodation are inherently feminine. Because men have much more IQ variance and one man can impregnate multiple women, men are much more hierarchical and less egalitarian than women.  quote:Cultural Marxism refers to the attempt to bring down capitalism by attacking the social institutions which support it, such as Christianity, gender roles, the traditional family, hierarchy/masculinity, and so on.
