Yeah, black board sounds right (and it is, just checked). Google translate couldn't translate for me and I was not in the mood for searching for my dictionary and go through it.

I rarely find the time to play games at all these days, but I 've just bought Hannibal: Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic War which looks really interesting.
Haven't played that many, but I want to try the AGEOD/Paradox France release Revolution Under Siege.
Milmo, a Facebook game developed by some friends of mine, and Demon's Souls.
Magicka! Love the humour but I'm terrible at it, I try to get some friends to play with me but none seem interested
Dragon age 2
Planescape torment (after a recomendation from users of this forum
)Bionic commando rearmed 2 ( I was working on the first one, and wanted to see what they did to the second)
Red dead redemption
External Paradox published:
Pride of Nations beta (I begun to test it during working hours as a part of the job, but it had happened sevelar times that I continued playing it after working hours for fun, so I think that it should count)
- Playing several iPad games atm, including Battleheart and The Settlers. I tend to make some time for Team Fortress 2 every now and then as well.
- The ones I played the most recently include Majesty 2 (Monster Kingdom expansion), Magicka and Mount & Blade Warband, the past week I've been playing around with the Sword of the Stars 2 alpha.
- Mass Effect, to get a better save for Mass Effect 2, to get a better save for Mass Effect 3. Love those games...
- Lately, mostly Magicka and Dreamlords.
Mostly DA2 recently (It was both good and terrible at once) and WoW. Been playing a little PoN, Magika and SotS2 too.
its really not fair to tell us your playing games that have not been released yet, hurts my heart. Wish I could sail through the stars with a sword.
I'm a little unclear on what exactly an engine is. How might it be defined, in layman's terms?
Hello Paradox, I have a question because I assumed things were done a certain way, and now I think they may not be...
The subject is : HOI2.. DD, Arma, IC, DH etc etc.
DH has just been released and some of the pictures are wrong, i.e. the first world war plane, is actually a 2nd world war ME109 looking plane.. This got me thinking... as I presumed that all the HOI2 photos for Generals and Units etc etc, were common to all the HOI2 games...
It seems they are not?
Not so much a problem for WW2, but for WW1, I'm sure this is a big issue. Why? Well because photos were less common then, and lots of military records were dumped in the 1930s (Britain) and subsequently photos of generals etc are now lost forever.
Question: It must be difficult enough to Mod HOI2 and I'm sure it takes lots of spare time. Spare time that may be more usefully spent actually improving layouts, AI's, unit abilities etc etc...
... AND NOT having to find original photos of whatever appears in the Mod from scratch.
I'm assuming that for every Mod the Modder has to find his own photos?
I'm really hope that I'm totally wrong about this? Can you please clear this up for me?
If I'm correct and the above is so... Would it not be a good idea for Paradox to have a Common Source for all this items.. Why?
Well it would save the modders lots of time, the forumites could update and improve the photos over time,.. it could be a mini-wiki-paradox for historical photos and items of interest.
Thanks for your time.

afaik modders have access to any photos we have and I guess most just use wikipedia/google to find stuff. If fans wanted to make some common website with photo collections there is nothing stopping them from organizing this I think. You'd ahve to be careful with ownership however. you cant jsut take photos from anywhere and need to check your sources.
reusable code between games. its exactly the same as a framework or collection of libraries if you are familiar with programming.
Has Paradox ever considered making a city-builder that could be successor to Simcity 4? There is a market for it, Simcity 4 was still in the top 10 sold in 2010 even though it was released in 2003.
Thanks for the answers about games, one I'm surely going to check out is the Matrix' Hannibal game. I hear a lot of positive things about it. Not really a fun of their games (as proven by my post count here compared to my post count on their forum), but then again, maybe they finally got one right.
Anyway, here's another question, something that's been asked in the forum since vanilla EU3:
- What are the exact modifiers for successful inheritance upon monarch's death in EU3 (prestige, relations, DIP, Infamy, random factors)?

Not really a question, but at the moment I'm intensely frustrated trying to get some screed of info out of Firaxis and Kalypso about upcoming games, I'm reminded exactly how good Paradox are in this respect. Scores of posts from developers every week. Kudos.
I was wondering today... What was the first game you guys got? Just curious if it would reflect on your later gaming (career?) choices

In my family we got our first computer in 89, a 286, and it came with some games like Police Quest, Space Quest, King's Quest (I see a theme here), Larry Leisure Suit and Space Invaders. All were very exciting. And all except the last one were kind of hard when your eight and don't speak English...
