Well, it definitly has some potential as an medieval geography-teaching instrument...

Oh yes, while studying at high school, I had history seminar for those who wanted to "graduate" from history. It was quite difficult and when it came to test from historical geography, I was the only one who get A and just thanks tu EU1. I even got everything right, but our teacher mistook Curland and Livonia (in czech they sound very much alike - Kuronsko and Livonsko) so I had two "mistakes." (Just as interesting footnote - the only place nobody but me got right was Uri, everyone else placed it in Mesopotamia )
But needles to say, some of other students became curious and started playing

They probably mistook it for Uruk, the second or third Babylonian city in Civ, so I guess that was the only game they were playing...

Actually it was not Uruk but Ur

I mean the one they thought of. Otherwise you are right about Uruk. It existed and was in Civ

 

[aldriq]

Actually it was not Uruk but Ur

You are right, how could I confuse the city of Abraham? o Uruk was actually the seventh city in Civ: Babylon, Ur, Nineveh, Ashur, Ellipi, Akkad, Uruk.

 

[Skarion]

Never knew that. Eu3 has been used in schools, actually more than eu2 iirc.

Didn't know that.

I only knew that a few teachers posted that they had dismissed EU3 during EU3 vanilla before expansions came.

Maybe have changed now, though haven't kept myself updated on EU3 in a while.

That's nice! I wish my History teacher used that in school, it would definately help my grades :rofl:

If you won ten million euro/dollars, what would you do (1) on the first day, like to celebrate, and then (2) after that?

1. Buy all the stuff I want but think is too expensive. A segway, a new computer, start looking for a new apartment. I might buy a cake to the office.

2. Start looking for good investments, decide on charity to support, set up my family with what they need.

1. Who's your favourite moderator?
2. If you get asked a question about CK2, what's your favourite deflection technique?

1. I can't answer that! If I say someone, the others might feel neglected.

 

[SolSara]

Okay, new question. I've already asked a few, so feel free to answer someone else instead, but I shall ask anyway...
If you won ten million euro/dollars, what would you do (1) on the first day, like to celebrate, and then (2) after that?

1) I would buy a copy of each book at the Science Fiction Bokhandeln (a fantasy/science fiction bookstore in Stockholm), then I would celebrate at a fancy restaurant.

2) Invest. Then buy an apartment in Stockholm or Uppsala as close to the trainstation as possible. Give my little sisters a small sum so they can take a sabbatical year and travel.

This weekend I´ve got some inside information from the building where Paradox is located.

My informer says he sees the Avalanche guys all the time, but almost never the Paradox crew.
So do you:
a) have a social anxiety disorder?
b) working hard with Semper Fi and V2
or
c) playing HTTT multiplayer?

Does he know what we look like? We are fewer than the Avalanche team.

a) Not that I know of.
b) Yep, working hard or hardly working.
c) Only on Tuesdays.

Have anyone of you played The Guild 2? Do you like it? I think paradox should publish a The Guild 3!!!

Actually found the Guild 1 (Europa 1400) much better and diverse. But still would like to know if pdox has ever tried those

 

[COGlory]

Do you have any office pets? Like a goldfish or something?

 

[Hardstuff]

No, but seriously, can we have image tags in the German forum? We cannot display pictures like so:

It would be nice to get them.

The office Scotsman?

Ha - that's because we all look too "normal" we blend in with regular people...

 

[Susana]

Yes we do, he's called Shams.

 

[Tegus]

Yes we do, he's called Shams.

A less know fact is that Shams real name is Mr Nibbles.

 

[Bullfrog]

I've noticed he is quite a good typist, despite his rather un-finger-esque front appendages. Good effort, such that I'm sure he gets tired and naps during the day as shown below.

have you thought of buying a pet platypus to the office?
Would be awesome.

No other game company has a living mascot, right?

I think you have me confused with my starship in Star Trek online, USS Mr Nibbles

But it does look like me.
