We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
So far, my experience is limited to making Doom maps and a few Warcraft 3 maps. I am interested in level design. I am not quite so good at this.
Should I post a video of one of my projects here?
If you want advice, then OT would probably be the better bet than this thread.
You could start a thread about your projects in the OT forum and post videos there, put a link to it here then. The OT people can be quite helpful sometimes. Got emu'd by Health though
There's lots of good tutorials out there regarding level design, I would recommend that you try Unreal Engine. If you Google "Unreal Engine level design" you can find "Level Designer Quick Start | Unreal Engine". I haven't done much level designing myself but I know people at other studios that work with it. If you have experience with an engine such as Unreal it is easier to find mods that you can work on and if you decide to become a level designer as a full-time job then that's a great engine to know.

What do you think of the Source Engine by Valve?
Strangely, it is where the iD family and Warcraft 3, "converge" (for want of a better term). The Source Engine has been used to make Half Life (which is heavily derived from Quake 1, someone got Half Life 1 running on the Quake 1 Engine,
I also have almost 2k hours in Dota 2, so I would like an engine I use regularly.
I have almost no experience with the Source engine, but I did spend a lot of time messing around with Quake and Doom custom levels and mods, mostly playing them rather than designing.
I am seriously considering Unity as well.
I'll seriously consider creating a thread on OT. and I'll ask further questions there after this.
I've created a thread here:

Dota 2 is the closest thing atm to a modern Warcraft 3. Is this impression accurate?

I don't know that much about the Source engine and I don't have any friends that use it. Unreal and Unity are the ones I hear most about. Good luck with your projects!

How did you come up with this soundtrack?
What were the thought processes behind it? Was there any kind of plan or structure behind it?
It is some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard in my life.

I love Knights of Honor but I would like to see a patch for the resolution.
Ever thought about one?

Neither was the game developed by Paradox nor do they still distrubute it.
When that stopped they closed the old forum. Well that was the given reason.
I somehow doubt that you get a positive answer, but asking is usually never wrong
Hello, a request please:
I had a second account ModDayScenario2. I used this account to manage my MDS mod on the Darkest Hour forum. The idea behind having a second account was simple. The mod has been going since 2012. I get tired and fed up modding from time to time, and by having a managing account for the mod, the idea was that I could hand the management of the mod to another modder, he could take control of the mod first page and post his links for any further work he did on the mod. Then, when he got tired and fed up, I could come back, take over the mod again and in this way the mod continues and improves as the years pass by.
I thought it was a good idea. But recently ModDayScenario2 has been banned, as you are not allowed to have a second account. Even for good reasons?
Can you please allow me to have a second account, as now I have no control of the first page, where I post links to download the mod. The mod continues, even with this restriction, but if you could unban ModDayScenario2 and allow this request, it would make life so much easier.
I am not complaining or passing comment on the decision of any moderator. I am just requesting a favour for a special case. Thank You.
EDIT: I imagine this would need to be an executive decision from the top of Paradox or near there?

That should have been posted in the forum help forum, or better still as a Zendesk ticket. This thread is for topics not covered elsewhere.
We do not allow multiple accounts for any reason. Nor do we support the creation of project-specific accounts that are handed from person to person - who then would take responsibility for any rules breach by that account? The forum rules specifically state that each account is one person's responsibility.
All other mods manage with individual accounts, so I'm afraid yours will too.
Sorry to have to disappoint you on this occasion.

@AndrewT:
Thanks for taking the time to consider my request. No worries, I'll just start a new mod thread. Cheers

Here is my (completely hypothetical) question(s)...
If you were to make a paradox game into VR which one would you pick? And if so, any ideas on how you would do it?

What is the most common thing fans ask for? Is it Vicky 3? A new Series? One of the April Fools Announcements from the past (Like CKZ or the EU Musical)? Rome 2? Something else entirely?
Also why aren't the first 2 EU Games or the first HOI in the store to be bought?
Also why aren't the first 2 EU Games or the first HOI in the store to be bought?
Because we only sell Steam keys, and those games are not on Steam.
I think they are all on GoG.
Anyone looking for EU2 I'd strongly recommend looking at For the Glory which is available on Steam.
This is directed at the publishing side, What are your thoughts about Obsidian and their recent interviews with their owner about them thinking about being bought, and what are your thoughts on possibly purchasing Obsidian?
