Ughhhhh why would the US want the BC interior like that. This is the problem with the 49th parallel and all these straight province borders, the maps look horrendous.

It's Clio's fault, I think. A lot of those borders are precisely the actual contemporary internal borders of the states of the time, which makes everything very neat and pretty so long as sticks exactly to history with no deviations, but means a lot of the provinces are these bizarre, stretched-out spindly things with insane adjacency graphs. I like my border fjords more than probably anyone on earth, but you need to keep that poo poo on the micro scale. On the macro scale, you want provinces to be as close to perfect hexagons as humanly possible or the border gore gets stupid fast.

The other 40% of the problem is the "can only take entire states" rule. You ever had a game where China loses Tannu Tuva to Russia, then gets it back later on? :stonklol:

Yeah same, I hold my fingers crossed for top-8 "minor" nations focus trees. Canada, China, Norway etc. I know there are mods, but they are not of the same quality. It will be really interesting to see If they keep a tight focus or open up the game.

Hey Darkrenown, are you guys avoiding the Hearts of Iron thread? Because it's a pretty positive thread (unlike reddit or the forums) and we're having a lot of fun with the game.

I noticed no Paradox goons have posted in awhile and I'm worried you guys got scared away or something. There were a few hiccups right after launch, but I think we all generally agree the game is pretty good.

Please don't leave us. :(

Well I am, not due to any problems with it, but since you guys all have the game now you know as much or more than I do having last worked on/played it in Autumn 2015. Like Groogy says, holidays are coming up and Podcat is super busy patching, which is probably why he hasn't posted much.

Believe it or not there are those who have made the argument that in order to be competitive with nations like Bangladesh, Indonesia and China, the USA has to lower wages in order to attract manufacturing back.

It's still seems so weird that your entire company goes on vacation at once.

Honestly it's probably better than how we Americans take time off at the most inconvenient of work times, screwing over the rest of our coworkers in the process. There's always that one person taking three weeks off right before a project deadline.

Or the worst: everyone but you is on vacation. :smith:

That's better; I didn't take any last year around summer but I instead had them just pay me out for it instead near the end of the year. Christmas present for everyone!

And have you considered hiring cheap interns or importing Finns? I really love the idea of Finns developing for you, their melancholy derived mechanics would be rad.

It's not just us, Sweden basically closes for July. Back when Podcat and I were making V2/HoI3 expansions we used to work through July because we tended to release those around August, no where was open for lunch, public transport was on reduced schedules

The Finns make Skylines! One of the CK2 team is half-Finnish too, which helps with all the death-events.
