A most fascinating game.

This is the best game of Paradox Interactive. In life, it is the easiest thing to want to do good, but a task, wanting to live among the national and world society, not wanting to do good or bad. I believe, no section of society must perceive themselves as fortunate, or unfortunate. What is the best way of progress? By utilizing what one has, not what one will have. I have made a mistake, in my initial game which I played as India, in the sandbox mode. Perhaps, not. I have stopped all metal exports. All exports of fresh water, of timber, and have tried to develop the internal industry. The environment is very important, as is industry. Lets see how both environment and industry develop. The motive is to make the cost of living very nominal, but not at the cost to the environment. I buy commodities at the market price, in the world markets, but sell them at a very low profit margin nationally. Since it is 1947, for India, I am not spending substantially on the military. I feel, spending on the environment, has a good effect on the people.

Yep all good and well but wait till you reach the early to mid 50s and you may or may not be so enthralled by the game anymore. The slowdowns may really kill your enjoyment where the passing of a day in-game will consume a lot of real time, something like an hour or so for just a month. The problems are known and worked on (to keep the optimism up). The features are somewhat engaging but neither really excels at anything and if you played SR2020 before, then everything should be very familiar to you, since all the quirks and shortcomings have pretty much been copied 1:1 from 2020 to CW. Even the long patch cycles are all a deja vue.

To help dispel some of the ignorance being spread by Deadeye, let me add that lots of players are getting into the 60's and 70's with the game since "acceptable game speed" is an entirely arbitrary value. Also, we are proud that the game excels in delivering an engaging combat system supported by diplomatic interactions and a dynamic economic system that players can work with to create powerful empires. @AdityaMookerjee, watching the market prices is a tactic I often use in game to focus my production efforts. This can greatly help poor regions focus on expanding the industries they need without having labour shortages.


Also, this is not a Paradox Interactive game. BattleGoat Studios is an interdependent studio who work with Paradox for publishing. While we get great support from Paradox towards completing our projects, it is entirely our work.

This is a great, great game. I am in sandbox mode, playing India. India has a bond rating of 80%, even though I never intend to issue bonds. The year is 1950. I only play at the slowest time setting. What I hate is that unemployment is at 8%. The national income is at 123 Dollars per person. Infrastructure has an approval rating of 60%. Education has an approval rating of around 65%. Environment has an approval rating of 70%. The armed forces really appreciate me. 70% of them do, in fact. I cut down a bit on their pay, but the amount I allot for training is the maximum. They have developed Mountain fighting capability in 1950. My tax rate is 40% but for low income, it is nil. I am not exporting anything, and my daily surplus if I have not mistaken the interface, is $50 Million. I am an importer, but I only import my need, except for oil, which I import in bulk. My army unit of choice in 1950, is the infantry. I aim to produce all India's agriculture needs, so I only try to import, what is needed exactly, and immediately.
I really appreciate Paradox Interactive, and the quality military and political strategic simulators they produce, and introduce. I appreciate, there is no time limit to the sandbox mode, so I guess, one can play indefinitely. My adage is, it is better to have a bit less material, than to have a great surplus of material, which the population can use. I do not export any raw material, abroad.
