Just put two and two together. Release dates for Mandate of Heaven and Utopia are both April 6. What kind of sick sweet madness is this Paradox?!!! What have I done to you to deserve this treachery?! Not only do I now have to , repeat , HAVE TO, buy both dlc on the same day, but now, how am I supposed to play both games at the same time? I have a family, I have obligations! Why, Paradox, WHY!!!??
 
Not that hard.... I've had simultaneous games of HoI, Victoria (really hard to multi-task and play), CK2, and EUIV all going at once..... Since most [Paradox] games have really long spans of time where you don't do much unless you are really aggressive, you can let them all run until something interesting happens, play that one for a bit than let them all run again.
 
I love the idea of multiple games running on multiple screens. I can sit there like batman staring at screens looking for things to fix. But hopefully you all got my sarcasm that was dripping from my post like honey. I think its hilarious and intriguing that they release them at the same time. Don't recall them doing that with their grand strategy games before. Seems a little much for one day. I mean, they are probably going to get swamped with peoples angry responses to every little bug found in now two patches and DLC instead of one in a single day. ;)
 
If they secretly have been building Vicky or Rome and they've been keeping a secret for the third sixth then I will forgive them for their evil ways.
 
Invite your family. Some play the one game, some the other, then you talk about it, switch the game and repeat ;)
Oh, if only they would. I am the only one who is interested in these. My son is nine and not interested in it, and my wife likes civilization, but finds these games too complicated. Oh well, the struggle continues..,...

I looked, and no honey is dripping off my screen... maybe it's cause I have two screens and can play two PDS games at once... must only drip off of one screen systems...
