200K Icons no longer give access to all avatars. I thought they were like a magic key with an interesting use. Now it's gone. :( Can you bring it back?

It was a bug... So no.

What processes do you go through in order to produce a new title? Is everyone involved in brainstorming ideas, or is it more focused on a few members of the team? Are certain ideas rejected outright because of coding complications, or do you consider anything to be possible?

All that feel inclined can take part, so it varies. A lot of the discussion takes place in pubs and such. :D

Similarly, regarding patches and expansions?

Similar, but with focus on the team currently developing the patch or expansion.
Lastly, do you tend to focus on one title/expansion to the exclusion of others? Or do you have one title as a primary focus and work on others in your spare working time and/or when inspiration hits?

Well, we have two teams. One for the current game we make, one for the current patch/expansion. To work on another game at the side is not the standard, but it happens sometimes. I guess the answer is A.

Your tech support sucks. Besides it does say Ask Paradox (almost) anything. So admin, how about you give me a link to solve this problem and tell me where to go, instead of just telling me not to use your forum:wacko:

I fail to see how you could miss the tech support forums since every single paradox game with its own forum here has one.

I'd like to hear about the cooperation between Paradox and developers whose titles you are publishing, and how involved does Paradox get in the development process?
Click to expand...

Well, it really depends on when we get onboard. Sometimes devs come to us with close to a finished product and we publish the game as is, other times we are in it from the start (or even contract studios to develop a concept).

In the earlier case we can suggest changes and additions, and then roll with what we get.

In the later case we work more involved with the devs; they often present ways to go forward and discuss it with us. What we most often add is a sales/marketing expertise - if we see a change that might mean a broader appeal then we go for it (increased sales is the main reason devs want a publisher after all, the other reason being funding).

Cheers,
Mattias
 
I remember that someone from PI said that in "license Europa engine program" there was more then hundred applications, and 3 of them became projects. Two of them are released (FtG and AoD), is third still on schedule in future? You don't have to give specifics, we can wait announcements :D, but just wanted to know if there are upcoming projects of such kind.

Thank you.
 
Imperialism already had a sequel. Imperialism 2 ;)
I have to say I liked a lot of what the game had to offer.
It was a welcome relief to Civ end game where you had so many cities that late game management took hours a turn.
 
Can't Paradox have a open day where fans could come and visit your office and see how things is going on?

Is there any of you that play erepublik? www.erepublik.com


And Johan if the HOI3 T-shirt is still available(tillgänglig vet inte om available är rätt ord) I wouldn't have anything against to get it =) Could even come and pick it up :)

-oh...and I thank the programers for intoducing me to Sabaton!

And I thank you too, first metal band I really like :)

Would it be possible to know how much did you have to pay for their music in Semper Fi trailer? Or was it some kind of mutual advertisement?
And given the themes of their songs... Do the guys in Sabaton play HoI3? :)

It has a potential to create interesting situation when you listen to their songs while programming and them playing your games to find inspiration for new lyrics :)
 
I´ve got two questions regarding the forums:

1. How about enabling multiple board languages, e.g German or French Interface ?

2. What about using stuff from your games to customise further the style of the forums? ( the EU.Rome subforum with the ingame graphics would look awesome :D ) ?
 
Yeah, some more questions re:forums.

1) Will there be Vicky-style, CK-style, Vicky2-style avatars? With Vicky-style I mean, er, Vicky-style flags.
2) There's an issue about user profile statistics. There's a button "Find all posts/threads by..." I can't access it. Why does it happen? Or do I have to have some special rights?
3) Will PM boxes capacity be a bit larger someday?

Oh, hope they won't tease the dragon:)

That's the forum search function thing. It doesn't work, so they don't use it.

Hmm. This function was meant to track down somebody's posting. If it's off, then it's off:)
 
Are all of you right-wing voters or is that side the only one that shows it?

It's a bug? Are we not supposed to have it? I find it most convenient when I want to find an old post or something.
Click to expand...

Er... Yes. Overlooked that one. Either all of us can have it or no one can have it, any other way is blasphemy!:p

Can this function be brought back again for everybody?
