At 33:20 you can see there is a duplicate function for division templates, you can have as many division types as you want

Yes, but all those divisions are identical unless you spend experience to make them different, so in practice you'll only have a few different division types.

Ethi, or depending on how the Greek is latinised, ethe. But you should be saying ethii or ethea like you did because it's wrong and it gets people mad.
Ethoses is also allowable since it doesn't cause any grave construction sins. Its a bigger problem than most obscure Paradox words because ethoses is hard enough to say to consider the source language pluralization, but those are far enough out of the modern English feel as to sound pretentious.

I do maintain that it's still a better derail than the previous one. But it's also a sign that one should never underestimate the nerdiness of paradox players.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.
I think we have not yet discussed all the benefits of NATO counters, for example the motorized infantry (X with two dots on the bottom, symbolizing wheels) gives you the intuitively the information that this brigade mostly works like infantry, but is a bit faster, while the Paradox picture, if you can correctly identify it as a halftruck, does not give you this information and might lead you to believe that this unit works like a really lovely armored unit, leading to potential disaster.

Have we seen anything about the naval aspect of the game?

I never found HoI's combat to be bad in any version of the game (well, unless you played agianst a Chinese human player who would 2 militia + 1 infantry spam the world the death) but the naval aspect was always lacking, which is something that goes all the way to CK and EU too.

Let's hope that, with the civilized people convincing paradox to implement NATO counters, we can also convince them to put some good naval warfare in HoI4

nobody individually but the amount of posters saying 'HEH PDOX SHOULD REMOVE NAYDOUGH COUNTERS TO TROL PPL :henget:' has far, far outnumbered anyone saying the opposite. most people who are pro-nato counters are not upset that the terrible 20x30 pictures are also an option.

Stellaris songs are really interesting and I'm definitely hyped to hear more of them. The mix of orchestral and synthetic music is pretty cool. The Luminescence sample in particular is really good.

There's just something about HOI games that brings out the worst in people it's the grognardism

I'm more pumped for Stellaris than I thought I would be... what's better is that I was watching one of those Wiz/cKnoor videos with my fiancé (who is definitely not the Paradox strategy game type) and he looks really intrigued by it. If it turns out to be good, I think there's a ton of potential for this to be a breakout into the mainstream for Paradox.

I mean, you could argue that CK2 was that way as well, but I think this will be on a whole other level.

Also the music is kickin' rad, and hopefully it's that way in HOI4 too (is it still Andreas Waldetoft?)
