You are asking about how a new mechanic has been functionally implemented and what possibility it has for modification. That is a code question, you may not ask exactly how it is done, but you are still asking a question about the code.
Next time Ill post it in the right forum but atleast elaborate more on code part.

Dear Paradox.

Based on not having any knowledge of game design or programming, I want to say I think its a great idea to integrate social platforms into your games. Not integrate 100% but perhaps create some type interface thing with facebook and twitter so you can receive and send IM's while playing and stuff like that. This is a great idea trust me I have no experience with these things. Alt-tabbing/window mode is for suckers!

That seems like an exceedingly bad idea. I do not want Facebook or Twitter to be part of my game at all. And nor do I want a backdoor built into the game allowing them to creep into my system. I try to avoid them as much as possible for privacy reasons and because I can't agree with their terms and business model (especially Facebook) so I most certainly don't want them in my game.

You're not a user, you say so yourself so it should not be any concern.

Except they are collecting extensive data from non users too (i.e. one of the main reasons I don't use them), so letting them into the game would still allow them to gain info on me.

I got a question on Stellaris, do the Strike craft still live as long as they don't get shoot down, even though the mothership is destroyed?
In the same fight/combat that is.

Dear random paradox developer,

I haven't yet played Hearts of Iron 4, but i have noticed from gameplay videos online and from screenshots that there is no nationality mechanic (where provinces had a set number of people from an in game nationality, think of Victoria 2). I think this mechanic is very important in the context of this game, with fascist states (especially Germany) aspiring to create states spanning territories made up of the main nationality (greater [insert nationality]). Historically, the Nazis had planned to create a 'greater Germanic Reich' from not just territories populated by Germans, but from territories populated by 'inferior' races in the east, such as Slavs. During the 1950s (which is also part of this game's timeline), Pan-Arabism began to take off in the middle east, especially after the establishment of the state of Israel and India nationalism was gaining speed during the 1930s and 40s. In light of these historical facts as well as my personal enjoyment of the nationality mechanic I ask that you bring back this mechanic in a future patch or FreeLC. I cannot find any mod that can bring this mechanic back so i ask YOU, Paradox game developer, to bring it back.


Yours Truly, a middle eastern fan.

The mechanics in question (while you're at it, you could bring back the similar religion mechanic, although this isn't a requirement):

This thread is for topics not covered elsewhere, and in any case is for general Paradox issues not PDS games. HOI4 has its own forums, maybe the general one or the Suggestions forum there. You'll need to register HOI4 here to see that one.

That does not sound like a good idea. Or at least not for the PDS games. I don't think it would add much either.
