Did any of you play the Democracy series? thoughts on it, and is a game of that type* anything PDX would ever consider?
*I don't mean a clone, rather a political simulator at that level.

Can I ask, RRW, is Democracy any good? I have been strongly considering getting it, but been on the fence so far.
It's pretty meh to be honest. It's all centered round a singular paradigm, not much room for experimentation in style of government.
Not much in terms of replayability either. I would recommend it though, on sale.
Great site and great questions thread.
My question would be:
Will Paradox consider making savegame converters for future games like it did for CK2-EU4?
That is to say, if a Victoria 3 game were to be made, perhaps allowing it to link into Victoria 3 and thence into Hearts of Iron 4?
I speak as someone who was originally first attracted to your series due to this concept supported by the modding community.

Umm... they (PDS) did release a PC version... called "Democracy"
Question: Have you really forgotten your wonderful games Sengoku and March of the Eagles?
Obviously loaded question. Of course they haven't 'forgotten' them; they presumably didn't sell well enough to justify DLCs or other additional development work.
Woops
I've got the flu and RRW gave it to me, so I blame him for my inability to comprehend simple concepts
Anytime you have a successful product like EUIV then you can pretty much count on a sequel, the question really becomes one of timing and EUIV is still going strong with new DLC being released.
I wish for no more sequels and infinite (or nearly infinite) expanding of games with DLCs.
The problem you have there is that they are made precisely because there is a demand. Why do some games get little to no DLC and Others get a lot, it all comes down to demand.
However we also like new things, as a small company we cannot fund many new projects without a solid core of existing reliable products.
I feel we are trying to innovate and branch out to new franchises, When trying new things it often does not work out. you hear about some of them (Like Runemaster) others do not work even before you hear about them.
We are constantly striving to grow and be better for ourselves and for you guys/gals.
Majesty 3 - is there any chance?
Are you sure there's no audience for it?
I think it would be a breakout hit like CK2 was.

What can I say? I really like the DLC model Paradox follows. It is very nice for a game to be expandable in this way, and Paradox seems to be very responsible with its DLC policy (unlike certain other companies, which have "Day One DLC" and etc.). I know that the DLC model Paradox follows gets a certain number of complaints, but IMO it is much better than in the expansion days. I only wish that more V2 DLCs had been made.
Do any of you developers still play Arsenal of Democracy, and do you feel like the game is both (a) meritorious and worthy of play, vis a vis, your other games that cover largely the same time period, and (b) truly in final form, and perhaps with some good user mods available?
And if you do use any mods for that game, what are they?
I'm asking because, I've owned this game for literally decades (well, okay, years . . . I don't actually have an iceberg enshrouded time machine like you posh Swedish game developers . . .) and I think I might have played it about 10 hours in total. Granted the graphics aren't the nicest, but I could definitely get into it, if it was in a final state in which it was well-balanced and fun.
ADDIT: got a new "elite" gaming rig from Xidax a few months back and I've been slowly reinstalling all my old games. Good Old Games library is done, now on to Gamersgate! Then Steam! The Matrix and the sundry CDs in boxes.
