I suggest we solve this in good old fashion CK2 style, we plot to kill MrNibbles and any male heirs he has and take over his title as QA Manager - Drinker of Tears....

At Paradox, a modern Swedish autocracy, succession is clearly absolute cognatic in nature. We'd have to kill the whole tree, root and branch.

I suspect they're actually open elective, so we just need to be standing in a Paradox office to have a chance of inheriting. Of course, there is a chance we will have to murder everyone else who happens to be there that day.

It's much easier taking spy focus, spying on him, and once you find something incriminating, you can attempt to arrest him. Since he'll almost certainly raise his flag in rebellion, you can crush him, then revoke his title and skip the mass murder of the entire Paradox staff.

This is a very good idea since I suspect the game might get delayed a bit if all the platypi get murderized whereas only losing MrNibbles should only delay them a coffee break or something.
 
Now the only problem is... how do we explain it to wifes, girlfriends and other partners..

Platypi only mate for a couple months out of the year, and then the male takes off to go drink beer with his buddies while the female is stuck raising the brats. This proves their superior intelligence.

Paradox aren't our vassals though... they are a Empire-tier blue blob that has us all as vassals, and by posting here it is you who is going to be imprisoned.

Think more along the lines of HRE on hardest difficulty.
 
So after the last DD...
How are the chances we get the Species Costumaztion Screen as a online beta? So sort of a Demo where you can create your species for fun? Pleeeease?

You could make your own simply enough.

1. Go buy a bunch of Zoobooks.
2. Cut out pictures of all the animals.
3. Buy a few issues of People magazine.
4. Cut out pictures of all the people's bodies.
5. Paste animal heads on people bodies.
6. Cut up a a bunch of slips of paper into 1/2" by 2" strips.
7. Write names of new species on slip of paper and paste to bottom of animal-human hybrid

Tada!
