They've actually licensed the Temerare novels and they're making a Napoleonic era Dragon game, where the focus will be on dragon breeding, management combined with land and naval warfare

In this daring new Paradox studios release you can now play as a common soldier in any battle from our current titles. Just press the participate button to initiate an instance of Paradox Trooper. Fight in the Viking Shieldwall or pilot a post-singularity warship, the choice is yours.

Vicky 3 was abandoned when Paradox realized all its 4th entries are better than their 3rds.

Anyway I'm actually not uninterested in the Triumph game too, Age of Wonders is great.

I'd love this. Although I think it might be hard to modernize beyond being a neat little $9 indie toybox game. Expectations have changed a lot.

Well, it's Modern Paradox. That's almost assuredly what we'd get, so Paradox Does Spore/SimEarth is my new thing I need in life.

That would be my thing too. Back in my day I actually preferred SimLife to SimEarth, but with technology being what it is I bet both could be blended together quite nicely! My nerdy biology dream is that one day a game would be able to simulate something fairly small... like say a valley, and you�d be able to tinker with weather patterns, food distribution, and natural disasters and be able to sit back and watch how life evolves there.

In hindsight, choosing "Computer, begin auto-destruct sequence, authorization Picard 4-7 Alpha Tango." as the first phrase to be successfully translated was a poor choice.

considering that bioinformatics has completely transformed our ability to mathematically model genetic systems and evolution since those games came out, something much more sophisticated and realistic could be created today

Someone offered Toady One money for the name/licence way back when. It was before that ultra light Dwarves game came out from Paradox. It's possible they wanted to slap the DF name on that, so they may have already tried this.
