No matter who you'll start out as, it'll be pretty drat refreshing to see a mega-LP centered on Africa. I love Paradox games, but 99% of the time it's Eurocentrism 101.

There's this impression that playing what's usually thought of as an rear end-backwards rural shithole and turning it into a world-spanning empire is somehow new, hilarious and exciting. I've seen about 5-8 Wales LP's, and almost all of them did inevitably collapse into self-referential in-jokes and LOL SHEEPFUCKERY!!!11!!.

Espy posted:Ghana is cool despite lack of knowledge on its history, such an unstudied history thanks to western bullshit. This LP banter could easily turn racist from posters if people aren't careful Sorry, should've clarified - Ghana is indeed cool. As I said before I don't think I've ever seen an Africa-themed LP that wasn't a zany comedy option kind of thing lasting all of three in-game years. Playing some random underdeveloped European count(r)y and leading them to ~GLORIOUS WORLD DOMINATION~ isn't cool, because it's been done to death over and over again. EDIT: I guess I just get annoyed that Paradox LP's always turn into European History (But With More Wars!) - The Videogame. The grand scope of the games coupled with the modability could potentially turn into great things. Instead, we get Steppe Wolfe and endless flamewars on the historicity of the Grand Empire of Serbia.

I fully support (eventually) converting to Islam, if we have to. At least we'll have religious precedent for sporting a magnificent neckbeard.

I think there should be some sort of province improvement that we could construct in order to show proper devotion to Ghana's new national pastime. Perhaps some kind of... "game workshop"
