Pretty sure if a country doesn't have specific models for tanks or whatever they'll just get medium tank II, ect.

If any of you haven't done Paradox's board game poll, here it is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VZKLL2N I hope you remember to mention that Paradox should make a Cold War board game.

I think that if EU went full circle, the resulting board game would be pretty amazing.

So in terms of managing the reformation and league war as the Emperor, what's the best strategy? Do you wait for the leagues to open, go to war and win? Or do you try and stamp out the reformation as best you can until that point? I'm likely staying as Catholic at this point unless a surprise country like France goes reformed suddenly.

I made the suggestion that Paradox should make a board or card game out of the HOI series, but instead of just emulating what HOI already does to take it in a different direction, and to do a spiritual successor to "Up Front". I think it would be really cool. I think the games have to be dissimilar enough that you don't just say "I would rather let the computer handle all this, I'll play the PC game instead!". Maybe make a game that focuses on the HRE in EU IV time frame, but with a little more character interaction a la CKII. Perhaps a mechanically tight game of wheeling, dealing, and politicking to be elected the next emperor with variable game length to represent random life span of the current emperor.

If you want a Cold War board game, play Twilight Struggle. It's everything you could ask for out of a game based on that theme.Lichtenstein posted:I actually had three or four Rommels in the beta so we could have done the deal back then.

I told them I really really want to see a Magicka board game. I think that would work way better than trying to translate any of the crazily complex map games.

Paradox is proud to present its groundbreaking new party cardgame "Hitler Against Humanity", a game in which players attempt to escape from receiving the dreaded gold Juden card by telling only Hitler approved jokes! The other players reward the winning jokes and gas the losers!

For some reason space based actual boardgames trip my "too groggy" switch extremely hard, that makes me feel as though this isn't a bad thing.
