Look, I'm not going to CK2 them, @Wagonlitz! But @SolSara, I'm not seeing the tool tip with how much this gift will improve relations.

I was wondering how much does the Pareto principle apply to paradox games.
Does it hold true that about 80% of the bugs are caused by 20% of the code?
And (if you are at liberty to say) is it true that about 80% of feedback (being positive or negative) comes from 20% of users?

It's likely a gaussian distribution, considering that the Pareto principle is a business brain fart
I mean I don't have statistics for this but in Crusader Kings 2, the code that handles the transfer of a title is hugely complex and is the bane of every programmers existence and is a major culprit for most bugs and even if not immediate cause for the bug has at least a finger or two in it's creation..
If it is 80%? Don't think so, but there is definitely "hot spots" which are common birthplace of issues.

I really was curious because it just seemed so outlandish, why a 20/80 ratio and not an other?
Did some digging around on google scholar after I posted. not much real mathematics papers were published about this subject. So it would appearthis should indeed be taken with a grain of salt.
Thanks for the answer, I guess keeping exact ratios of stuff like that is not really useful anyway as long as you know the were the hotspots are!
Just joined to ask. Do you take game idea pitches? I've got a big one with some similarities to "Stellaris".
Thanks! I have designed the layout but do not have a demo yet. Because of the similarities, I hoped the Stellaris team would work on it to save time. You guys are extremely busy I'm sure, so I'll try to find another team to work on the demo for ya.
Happy Programming!

I'd like to make a suggestion regarding an idea for improving the launchers for the four active games (CK2, EU4, HoI4, and Stellaris), but I'd rather not spam the forum by making identical threads in all four suggestion subforums. Is there somewhere general I can make a single suggestion thread, or should I just make the four identical threads in the games' individual suggestion subforums?
