I recently read The Arms of Krupp by William Manchester, and really liked it. It discusses the Krupp Dynasty (obviously) and how much impact they had on Germany and the rest of the world. Krupp really did everything in their power to help them in their quest for profit.
While reading this book I couldn't stop thinking what an interesting game it would be to play as a big 19th century corporation. It fits good into Victoria II's time frame and it would be really cool if the game progressed as normal, all countries controlled by the AI, and the player could choose a corporation. Or playing normally as a country, you will have to interact with these corporations in one way or the other.
Just throwing this idea out here because I have had in my head for some time. What do you think?
Also Julmust!

Not 19th century, but you can get your corporation on.

Wow, that's interesting
So: what do you think about studying of game developer (programmer)? Must game developer be usual programmer, that starts develop games in one moment, or he must study in university for that? Can you advise University for study programming games?
Thx.
Remember, some guy from Piranha Bytes recommended university in Germany for that, but one year later i have dispute with my friend about it - he said, that game programmers studying only in production. Give him some links to university programs of game development in different countries, but he said that it's non-state university and this programs - some kind of deception:huh:

I would recommend studying general computer science, even if your desire is to become a game developer. You do not necessarily have to take the 'hardcore classes' of computer science, but basic knowledge of how programming, computers, etc. works is important. Especially for a game developer, who needs to know how much (or how little) he/she can ask of a computer.
A fair grip on user interfaces is also important. While a lot can be learnt by experience in this field, getting the right mind about how your users interact with your program is very important. Bad user interfaces can scare users away, even if the underlying application is great.
Then I would recommend attempting yourself at small real projects. Like a small game, a website or another project that has use, but is not too big that you will be lost in its large size. Re-implementing existing applications and/or games can be a great idea to train your programming skills.
Specifically game development training programmes exists, but I do not know any. But neither do I truly believe they are necessary. If you know your way around a computer, most tasks should be relatively easy to overcome. While you may have to learn new environments, etc., even that should be familiar in some way or another.
So before you start at a university, I will recommend trying yourself at small projects, in simple straightforward programming languages, such as Python.

I am starting web-developer, study algorithms, math, english, network (Tanenbaum's book awesome) and computers genererally (Tanenbaum's book rule here too), planning to use Ruby + RoR. And it is too late for university
So, it's just theoretically question to programmers who involved in development of really good games, not only funny apps for facebook's local clone (know many of them)

Hello
I just bought a new pc with Win7 and realised I missed playing HoI II-Doomsday/Armageddon and installed it, however, the game editor is *bugged* in the way that it wont show all the window. I cant get to see/show lower and right fully, making it useless/impossible to save/edit stuff and create new scenarios...:/
Is this a known issue and if so how can it be fixed? Ive tried searching for it but couldnt find anything related.
Ive tried ofc to drag/expand it but it stops at a certain point nm where I place the editor. Meaning I cant see/change/set resources and map bounding box on provinces, cant set tech spec #5 on tech teams and cant see the save/edit options on any window.
Hoping for a possible solution

How large is podcat's cat image folder (in image count, and in MB), and what's the folder's name? C:\a-cat-image-for-every-occasion-and-then-some?
I understand that the Steam Workshop is intended to allow for community modifications to be released over Steam. Steam recently announced that Skyrim players will be able to download free community mods though Steam Workshop (though they're also making sure that they stay compatible with mods on fan-created mod sites. So I'm wondering, now that Paradox seems to be looking at making Steam its primary release platform going forward, is there any reason why Paradox titles couldn't have this kind of functionality incorporated in future? Obviously older titles wouldn't be updated for it, but is this something we could look at being included for expansions/patches of current generation games, including CKII?

Hi thanks for your first post and welcome to the conversation.
Unfortunately this is not a Tech support thread and those type of game specific and tech support questions need to be asked in the appropriate forum.
In this case the HOI2 tech support forum.
Thanks.
Sure, absolutely. But it's too late for CK2 - maybe for the next big game after it.
We're all for modding.

I get 42.003093778495535598245542034447. Approximately the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything?
What is the craziest alternate history situation you remember to have happened in any PI game you've played?
What type of music does the team listen too? Do you have music that calms you down after failing to fix a particularly elusive and annoying bug?
Its a pretty big spread of music.
We got people who like The Cure, some who like Royksopp, some who like Sabaton, some who like Bon Jovi and some who like Spice Girls.
me personally.. If I can, I prefer to have a single song on repeat when I am tracking a bug.... Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth works fine that way.. Which is weird, as I am not a big metal fan, and prefer indie-pop.
