Ask Paradox (almost) Anything Thread (no support/tech or code questions)

Do you guys have any summer jobs available? Jag kan inte programmera men jag talar flytande Svenska, Portugisiska och Engelska. Jag kan också förstå flytande Spanska och går Franska 3 på gymnasiet just nu.

Det är bara min språkliga skicklighet vi talar om just nu. Nej, men jag kan berätta mer om mig ifall ni behöver någon och ens är intresserade i en 16 åring.

Hvis du kunne flydende svensk, ville du vide at sprog ikke skrives med stort!

When is the Steam pre-order for Victoria II HoD coming out? GG has one already, but I purposefully bought all my new Paradox games on Steam because I was lead to believe that's what Paradox wanted.

Jo visst kan jag svenska, men alla gör ju väl ett fel ibland? Jag går IB programmet och är bättre på engelska, så det händer ibland att man råkar göra några missar som den här. Men tack för att du påminde mig! Jag borde börja kontrollera mig oftare.

What he said technically could not be said in English, because it was said in Swedish.

Which reminds me, how many times do Paradox Developers accidentally slip Swedish words into comments or variable names?

I'd like to amend this to: Can I use the Amazon pre-order with my Steam version of the game?

Yes. It is only CK2 where you cannot amend a GG DLC on a Steam game, nor a Steam DLC on a GG game.

In the EU2 code, almost all temporary variables were Swedish... uh... anatomical terms. I'm sure it was an accident.

 

[Pellaken]

Yes. It is only CK2 where you cannot amend a GG DLC on a Steam game, nor a Steam DLC on a GG game.

So if I buy the pre-order from GG, I can run it from Steam without a problem?

You can install it over your Steam installation without a problem, yes.

I thought V2 had a non-Steam version on GG.

But they are not different, unlike CK2. You can install GG expansions over a Steam version of V2. I am not sure you can install Steam expansions over a GG version of the game, because Steam wouldn't allow you to.

 

[Pellaken]

Can I get a paradox employee to quote your post? I really can not afford to buy this two times.

Yes, he is right but some have problems with doing so.

I watched the Q&A session on Twitch, where Johan spoke about the games that are played in the office, and I was just wondering if any of you guys have rules on who is allowed to play as who. Things like "Johan can't be France because he'll kill us all" and the like.

People usually give 3 suggestions, and then countries get assigned.. And then i take any that is leftover..

What ages are the people that work on Paradox (youngest/oldest)?

 

[Shams]

Youngest 19 - Producer Assistant

Oldest: 42 -CFO

I'd guess that the average age is 29-31 something.
