What exactly is the appeal of World War 1 Gold Edition? I am interested in the game, but I would like to hear it from Paradox Interactive. Also, the same question about Pride of Nations, for the same reason. Please answer.
 
Ok, I have a serious question.

How are you guys seeing the economical crisis that is on Europe's doorstep. How is Paradox preparing for this?

We weren't hit that bad by the US crisis 2008-2009, the only thing we wish for is a stronger USD and EUR. We pay salaries, rent, and some development teams in SEK (Swedish Krona) and all revenue is in USD and EUR.

We are not that big in any of the crisis markets (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland) so my feeling is we'll do just fine. We also have an excellent relationship with the bank, and that always helps :)

My guess is that a hardcore Paradox fan is working in the bank? :p
 
Hi,

We're doing a little upgraded version of Ask Paradox Anything tomorrow - we're doing a video response directly from Fred and myself.

So ask your questions here on in the comments section in the Facebook post I'm about to do and we'll try to answer as many as possible.

/s
 
What time frame not yet covered by the current Paradox line-up (Dark Ages, Three Kingdoms, etc) or badly covered (Napoleonic Wars, First World War, etc), would you personally like to see covered in a dedicated game by the in-house development teams?
Answers not limited to the examples provided.

Looking forward to the video. :)
 
What is the average flightspeed of an unladen European swallow?
 
So let's get back on track - ask more stuff about Paradox - preferably on the publishing/business side - enough with the internal team - they get enough space as is (you should see our fridge).

Can we get a picture of the fridge? ;)
 
My question for the video thing

Do you think it harms Paradox somewhat that you effectively have no competitors at all? Is there a danger you could become a monopoly on deep strategy games? Could that lead to stagnation?

How exactly does inheritance in EU3 work?

edit: and by "how does it work" I mean - what exactly are the probabilities, modifiers, etc etc that influence it and how.

Maybe I'll ask a serious question too...

Considering the vast amount of new published and in-house titles, are there any plans to reform the forums and rearrange the way game subforums are presented? Frankly it is getting crowded on the main forum view, and it's difficult to find a specific game if you don't know it beforehand. For example, the distinction between "Current" and "Classic" games is not at all clear for the casual visitor...
 
How far ahead does the internal team plan game developments? Once on game is winding down is that when they start talking about a new game or is there "grand plans" that are planned out over several years due to the development time?
 
Why don't you try out modifications?
 
I have one for the video. Why can`t we delete save games in Paradox`s games.

That is something that`s been asked for so many times before and it still remains a doubt how 10+ years later we still can`t delete save games from within your games.

Also...did Fredrik grow his hair back?
 
I prefer buying CD's/DVD's, because one also gets a printed Manual. Please make such CD/DVD editions of games available. I purchased a CD of HOI3. Who is the distributor of Paradox Interactive Games in India?
