The lack of a Paradox General makes me sad.

It's hard to deny that Paradox is as much a style as it is a game developer. You can discuss it here.

I detect a distressing lack of Victoria in that title.

The moment i read that my mind went "Hey Vicky, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Vicky."

Hey, Im bored and have the house to myself on a Friday.

Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

God damn do I want a classical era simulator.

So I can finally go back to the dawn of time and work my way forward from there.

That "Heart" was meant as "of Darkness", but I see how you would think it was iron.

I don't think games that Paradox only publishes count. Or fit in that space.

There's EU:Rome, the lost link the in the grand strategy chain. Too bad there's not going to be a second one from the looks of it.

There's also that whole shared universe of Ardania (Majesty, Impire, Warlock, etc.) I don't, myself, consider it part of Paradox proper, but we can discuss it.
<crotchety old person rant> I really liked Majesty one. It had a healthy sense of self-irony. </crotchety old person rant>

I liked the original Majesty, and the expansion. I could never get into the sequel, for gameplay reasons, and never tried to get into the spinoffs. Except Heroes of Ardania, but that was fan-made. I didn't like where the lore was going from the second installment, though. Elves that aren't worthless blue degenerates? What's even the point?

So when last I converted a game from EUIV to Vicky II there seemed to be a bug where no mechanical parts factories were generated and so I had a monopoly on factories for most of the early game.

Is that fixed, does anyone know?

The converters are generally quite dead, which makes me sad. I'd love the Darkest Hour converter to work again.
