What happened to Heart of Empire: Rome? I saw its screens, they are great. The scale of that game was gorgeous.
Paradox, have you guys and girls ever thought about a game specifically geared towards a French revolutionary wars and napoleonic time frame?
Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira
les aristocrates à la lanterne !
Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira
les aristocrates on les pendra !
Oh, and in english :
Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
aristocrats to the lamp-post
Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
the aristocrats, we'll hang them!
Revolution and Counter-Revolution, maybe with the focus more or less on the politics and not the military [as thousands have already covered napoleon until the subject was old and wet] but dealing with the revolution and driving the hand of history would be brilliant fun. Play as a faction, revolutionary or otherwise, within France or maybe a faction within any european country at the time and first struggle to wrest control of your nation and then either hold off the rest of the world or seek to control it too.
Carve a new history out of a new ideal or maybe a very old one and let loose the winds of change.
Napoleon is dull for he has been made the heart and centre of too many things. But the Revolution is exciting and holds alot more potential, even the potential of napoleon himself for those that want it. But wouldnt it be more to also be able to be a candle and illuminate a new France? Or a Monarchist, re-actionary before the revolution and prepared to overthrow the ancien regime to install a glorified view of the old rights or any other manner of revolutionary who is ready to attempt to tame the discontent to raise challenge to the current and degenerate government and bring in a new dawn or the players design.
Or even to try your hand as the state maintaining the status quo against the coming storm.
Surely theres alot of ways a game like that would be alot of fun and unique to boot, find a niche and fill it, Paradox has always been good at that.

Thats a great idea for a game! But ya gotta throw a little army action in there.
actually, i was wrong...blackstar was just the first german forum we were hanging out at as it was the german distributer of Eu1
(my god it´s been a long time...)
yes.
At the time of the blackstar forum in 2000, there was also this forum here. We just didnt realized it at first. Well i did then from Nov 2000 on.
But the blackstar forum was lame, compared to this one here. The distributor didnt put much energy in it. And so....many fans got upset fast. But it was the elite of the first german Paradox fanbase. Tracid was part of it. Many others also. The german fanbase still meet in our german Forum....and discuss all kind of strategy games. Mainly the Paradox Games.
Unfortunatly many of them dont speak english very well...so you dont see them often here in this forum. But the more active ones from here transfer any important info to the german one also. So everyone is up-to-date.

Wow, talk about an organizes community !!! It's nice to see you are so organized... And the info you provided on Blackstar was amazing ! Thanks
Paradox, who else got hired during your last hiring session besides Darkrenown? And that was a great pickup.
Wow...amazing. Seems Paradox really imvests the money well.
Did you had this name before.....or have you changed it...since you are at Paradox?
Next question would be....if it was not already asked: How many of the Paradox Team, started as normal users here in the forum?
Captain Gars already had an account... this new nickname hides his true former identity... i'm just wondering which identity he had previously
I believe King was on the forums before...

King, Besuchov, Doomdark, Darkrenown and me. Maybe Brother Bean also. And yes, I have another name
... now, who's been inactive since October... ?King, Besuchov, Doomdark, Darkrenown and me. Maybe Brother Bean also. And yes, I have another name
Why should the original account now be inactive? Johan has two accounts as well and uses both of them regularly.... now, who's been inactive since October... ?
... now, who's been inactive since October... ?
Unless, like Johan, he has a home and a work account... and therefore still uses the two
The plot thickens... and the search continues...
Edit : safferli'd
True, and I like to walk through the forum incognito from time to time...
Haven't used it much lately though as I don't want to keep loging out/loging in all the time.Unless, like Johan, he has a home and a work account... and therefore still uses the two
Well that was my initial idea, but I sometimes need to be logged in on my work account at home, and as I said above I don't want to login/log out all the time.
