That reminds me of how in CK2 they made tribals "worse" by having your vassals fight as allies rather than just givin you troops and I was like "holy poo poo this is the best".

Idk, maybe it was meant to be their saving grace but it was amazing as a way to both control your vassals and cut down on tedium

I think we all know what this means. Hearts of Iron 5 and Crusader Kings 3.

But lo he could not. For the angel was hitting him with his own hands
Finally, Paradox will release a game covering the Fertile Crescent during the dawn of civilization.

Bronze Age nothing. Have you ever considered Crusader Kings...set in the Stone Age?

I had a wonderful time at PDOX con last year. I had the pleasure of meeting Wiz and Groogy, and some other goons. I really recommend it to anyone who can make it. This year I will be moving right around that time frame, so unfortunately I don't think I will be able to make it this year.

It's been a long time since I was last excited for a Paradox announcement, but actual new games instead of New Unit Model DLC #483 would do it.

Yeah all kidding aside if it's not either Rome 2 or Vicky 3 or both, I'll be very surprised. Surprised and disappointed.

Paradox Con would probably be one of the few "cons" I'd actually have fun at as sad as that is. Still not paying a couple thousand for the trip and then another hundred or so just to get in. Would be pretty doable if you lived in Scandinavia or even europe in general though.

Would a game by Triumph (Age of Wonders studio) be announced at this con, or is it only for their "core" games?

It's nice of them to say that it's not vicky 3 in that video, and also smart because it avoids possible backlash on the actual announcement.

johan's next project might not even be a grand strategy game considering how he has talked in recent interviews. And the other game is Triumph's next game, so maybe another Age of Wonders game? (or a similar one if they don't have the AoW IP)

Paradox also own White Wolf and all the vampire stuff so that's another option.

Come on man, don't be an rear end. They've said time and again that many of them actually do like Vicky, and that they'll make it when someone at pdx actually comes up with a vision for what the game looks like. Their teasing is not at all malicious or mean spirited

"I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

I think it would be nice to have a game with more of an internal focus than an external map-painting one, so even if they aren't gonna announce Vic 3, I hope that their new game has a similar focus. A bronze age city-state sim would be cool, building up an island in Greece and then teaming up with a bunch of loose allies to burn down Troy.
