Actually Diplomacy was developed in-house (although that may best be forgotten). There used to be a dozen programmers/developers employed by Paradox but I'd assume that this has increased with the new teamFirst, the Big Four are the only games in your list actually *developed* by Paradox - Sword of the Stars, Supreme Ruler and Diplomacy were merely *published* by Paradox. Second, isn't PDOX a small company? I remember reading somewhere that they only have about 15-30 employees, not all of whom are programmers. I'd say they are already working their butts off, considering their sizeutput ratio.
