MPs are good and more or less accurately render the importance of executive personality/competence in the slow lurches of early modern proto-states into centralized administrative governments; see for example Gustavus Adolphus+Oxenstierna, Richelieu+Louis XIII, Philip II holding poo poo together through force of will.

It's also, and this is probably most important to paradox, a way to limit runaway expansion and improvement in a way that is fairly independent of country size. Bigger countries can only throw so much money at the problem with advisors.

As a historian I can securely say that CK2 does a fantastic job of representing the time the Persian empire was restored to it's peak by a Norse Jain who was also a Karling and a descendant of Mohammed.

Okay I've been bellyaching a little lately about some minor actions taken in certain mod threads on the Paradox forums, but for the love of God can someone please talk to the community managers. Please? Mods shared on the Paradox forums not only can't share a Github link, they can't use the name of the mod for the Git project itself. I can't even fully express how dumb this ruling is on the forums itself because forum rule 2 states "You will not argue with, comment on or question the actions/authority/ or comments of the Paradox staff (Administrators, Moderators, etc.) in a public forum" (presumably in the Paradox forums alone, if I get dinged there for what I say here then Lord Almighty), so I'm just angrily fuming at the whole thing.

You wouldn't download a bicycle, thus you should not make components of mod recognizable and assemblable from a public repository. e. Its an aspect of their strategy of mods as soft DRM, which I think might come from on high from Johan so you're probably saddled with it if you want to play in their official ecosystem. I'd probably take the angle of bellyaching for a modder's repository hosted by Paradox. They are really married to the whole idea of community as soft DRM so I'd doubt they'd budge on external stuff, but could be guilted into making the tools available on their terms. zedprime fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Nov 12, 2015 |

The whole walled garden approach just feels incredibly outmoded in this era. It's a total pain for the community and has a dubious impact on pirates.

Or Paradox finally realizes how wildly popular Kaiserreich is and just hires Kavak & co. to work on HoI4's first alt-hist DLC, which is probably the far better option

I mean, one one hand it's kind of a shame, since you can imagine that maybe eventually it would produce an interesting game PDox wouldn't make on their own time. On the other hand, licensing engines resulted in two projects that crashed and burned hard, and two completed projects that didn't sell worth a drat, so it's not like it's a loving mystery why they've decided that.

I imagine Darkest Hour is the shining beacon in the dark in respect to licensing things out. To be fair, Paradox's luck in that regard is probably the same hit & miss ratio for any major studio actually developing any of their concepts.

I mean it's obviously translated into English (poorly) from some other language where I'm sure it makes sense. Is it going to be your Paradox forums usual suspects (Serbo-Croatian, Hungarian, Bulgarian?)

What the hell is "the Courage Push the Bravery"? The only thing I can find by googling it is that it is some guy's signature from the paradox forums with "- Iron Cross" added. So it sounds like some nazi poo poo.

Iron Cross was an absolutely batshit "expansion" for HoI II that featured terrifying tech and province counts, awful translation, and required an irreversible overwrite of an existing HoI II or HoI II-derivative install.
