Pretty much this, but don't forget that Paradox are game designers and publishers, not historians. It would be interesting to hear more about your project.Do they simply take information from the Internet or literature and historical sources?

Not an answer to your question, but have you seen the postings by Bret Deveraux here and linked for other games? Bret is an academic historian who has done some in-depth critiques of the various Paradox GSGs.Hi everyone,I am doing university project on theme ''Paradox Games as a practice of public history''.I`m really need to know who in Paradox Studio respond for historical part of global historical strategy like Europa,Crusader Kings,Victoria,HOI.Perhaps they have some historical consultants with education, cooperate with some scientists, or the developers themselves have some historical education? Do they simply take information from the Internet or literature and historical sources?I did not find any information about this, who can share this, because it is important in my project?

Last year, in December, we learned about the so-called personal development time for the Paradox employees in the two-part Victoria 3 development diaries about feature jams, which allowed them to work on various feature experiments on their own time. Since then, as far as I am aware, we have not seen any additional development diaries about the feature jams. I would hope that personal development time is still a thing, despite all of those understandably vocal critiques of the development for Victoria 3.
I strongly encourage Paradox Interactive to continue this practice. You never know, you might find a gem or two in these feature experiments. I also encourage Paradox to make regular reports of feature experiments, perhaps in-between patches, and to do this for all franchises, not just for Victoria 3.
Every internal studio has different rules of when it happens, but at gold it's the last Friday of every month and has been like this for yearsOops, I meant to ask a question in that post but forgot, as this is obviously a thread to ask Paradox almost (almost??? ) everything. :insert the missing emoji for laughing here: But, yeah, I was going to ask if Paradox have stopped doing this personal development thing or not? And then I was going to say what I said in the second paragraph above.
P.S. When are you going to add the missing emojis for XenForo forum? Yes, even poop emoji! But, in all seriousness, it is weird that laughing emoji, which is like almost a standard emoji across the forums, is missing from the available selection for smileys in posting on this forum. What is up with that? Lol
P.P.S. The forum software does not even also support Unicode emojis from emoji keyboard like those on the Windows. Bad XenForo!
Where are you trying to post that?How do I "contact an administrator"? I'm trying to post something to the forums but it is being blocked by the content moderation, I think? There's absolutely nothing wrong with my post as it's a simple technical question.
I get that msg when I have had the window open for too long without refreshing.How do I "contact an administrator"?

That was the original question in the pic.Where are you trying to post that?
Is that your actual question (in the pic) or is there another question you need help with?
Well, you seem to be posting here with no issues, so, problem solved?That was the original question in the pic.
Posting here has nothing to do with:Well, you seem to be posting here with no issues, so, problem solved?
So what was the original problem?Posting here has nothing to do with:
A) My original problem
B) The problem I had posting to the forums (i.e. the overzealous content moderation/spam filters. What in that question is "spam-like or contains innapropriate content"?
C) How to contact an administrator (it instructs me to do so, but doesn't tell me how)
So no; the issues aren't solved. But that's really not my concern; I just wanted to point out to Paradox that they have issue with their Cloudfare configuration. I took my time to help them to improve. And when trying to do that I found a second issue (their content moderation going haywire).
It's related to a purchase and this is not the place to discuss it.So what was the original problem?
So presumably a game, right? Make a post in that game's subforumIt's related to a purchase and this is not the place to discuss it.
