Paradox Interactive Games Thread

Just did a HOI4 playthrough as France where I refused the remilitarization of the Rhineland, Germany went for it anyway, and then Britain and I drove the Germans back to Berlin by Fall 1937.  If you play this way, you also generate a French Civil War (which I was able to win by Summer 1936).

Unfortunately, in the peace deal, most of Germany was released as a British puppet.  While that means they're Democratic, they still have their Nazi focus tree.

Can't wait for Democratic Germany to Anschluss Austria  

Depending on how the Spanish Civil War goes, my next goals will be either capitulating Nationalist Spain or defeating the Soviet Union.  I guess I'll have to handle Japan at some point too.

Picked up hoi4 for the first time in a long time.  I got the recent dlc as well.  Does anyone feel like there’s too much going on now?  I don’t like managing fuel, espionage, or a host of other things.  The game has turned into way too much work.

Late reply, I know, but my biggest issue with Paradox games in general in that they're more fun to think about playing than actually playing, if that makes any sense.

vic3 drop when

i am so pumped for Vicky 3 y'all i already preordered it

I don't believe in pre-ordering.  It rewards dev teams to release buggy, incomplete games.

I'll wait for Vicky 3 to drop, read reviews for 2 weeks, and then decide if it's a complete enough product to justify buying it without a major patch/overhaul/DLC.
