Basically, but I like to have random lucky nations in EU, and non-clustered starts in Stellaris.

here i go.
first of all i didnt go through the 130+ pages, so i dont know if already asked :-\
Would you guys consider darkest hour for android/ipad/iphone ? current devices might be able to handle that game.
Or would it be too messy to rewrite the engine for the google apple api's ?

DH is a PI published game, not a PDS-written game, so this is the wrong thread I'm afraid.
But basically re-publishing old games on new platforms is unlikely to be economic.

Hey,
sounds great that she is taking an interest in animation and also at traditional drawing (why not try to combine the two btw?)
Getting feedback and learning something new that makes your art being better can serve as a motivator, so if she is ok with it, it would be great to see some material. If she feels that it is uncomfortable to share it openly on the forum you/she can send me a PM and I can have a look
Otherwise a piece of motivation can be to try to commit to shorter projects if she feels like she grows tired and unmotivated. Since I don't know her exact skill level it is hard to suggest something, but since you say that she is trying to get into animation I will assume that she is a beginner. Some great practices for beginners (except for learning the animation principles, which is a must!) is to try out weight, picking something up and putting it down or different styles of walking/running for different personalities (animate a child, animate an old person, a thief, a superhero, someone with a limp, tiredness, drunkeness etc.).
It would be great to get to know if there are some particular areas where she feels that she wants to learn more.
Hope that it can be of some help, and I'd still like to point out that while feedback can be hard to hear (it is as much a skill to give it as it is to receive) it is tremendously valuable for learning new things and not get stuck in a comfort zone!

Have you tried to make a sphererical map to your games? Seams to me to be the next natural step in games that has a global playfield.
It's been looked into, yes. But so far it's been rejected for reasons I'll leave to someone else to explain.

If you had to invade one nation to make the The Kingdom of Paradox, which one would it be?
In the future would Paradox Development Studio consider licensing Clausewitz 2 Engine to a third party developer? I am thinking of a situation like 'For the Glory'.
I wonder if this would be the community's best chance to see a game like Victoria 3, even if it doesn't have the Victoria name, in the next 10 years.

I'm sure they would "consider" it since they've already tried it twice but since both of those projects ended up not being released they probably won't try it again any time soon.
Clausewitz engine is the cornerstone of your game. Is there a dedicated team for its development or It is handled separately in every single game-team ?
In a recent Dev Diary for hoi4, a dev talked about a low level routine that he managed to improve, a routine that "was always there and nobody dared to touch" (quite common situation in computer programming!) so I'm asking if this kind of fix/improve would propagate to other games "by process" or if they are confined in a single game.

There's a team dedicated to the engine.
The individual game teams also make changes from time to time as needed to their own forks.
This has been asked before, and the question has been, and will remain for the foreseeable future, a no. Sorry.
Hello my question is: What is more important for the best performance in current paradox games, more cpu cores like the new amd ryzen 8 cores and less clock speed or higher clock speed but only 4 cpu cores like an i 7 7700k?
Clock speed over # cores, definitely. It's a rare app of any sort that can use more than 4 cores.
PDS games can use up to 16, so more cores help too.
The tricky aspect is how to rank them against one another.
20% higher clock speed definitely beats say, 20% more cores, but 100% more cores would probably beat 20% higher clock speed.
Depends on which PDS game exactly as well; how well they utilize multi-threading varies.
They essentially switch back and forth between using one core and using every core very quickly, which is why it never looks like all cores are maxed.
An i7 uses hyperthreading to use 8 "simulated?" cores, where each physical core is two. Wouldn't that need to be factored in too? (I have no idea what that splitting of cores through hyperthreading does, but I know that it definitely does exist, because if you go look at what the cores do on an i7 you're shown 8 and not just 4 results.
Not as effective as 8 real cores yeah, but IIRC not too far off either.
The problem with a spherical map is that it limits what you can see. Half of the map is on the opposite side of the sphere, so that's no good for you. Of the part of the map that does face you, much of the map will be angled in such a way that it will be difficult to get any useful information out of it. Let's assume that you can reasonably make sense of and interact with anything that is angled away from you at 45 degrees or less. This gives you roughly 29% useful map area. To see the rest of the map, you need to rotate this sphere. With our input methods being a mouse and keyboard, this is not a very intuitive task for most people. Furthermore, do you rotate the sphere freely, which is more natural, but causes the north/south axis to move, or do you lock the north/south axis, which makes it clunky to work with?
Spherical maps certainly have their advantages, but for gameplay purposes there are too many problems to make them worthwhile. At least for us.
Edit: Our resident genius @Meneth corrected my math. I messed up a bit of my formula. The correct ratio of useful surface area is 14.5%, which sadly makes the argument against spherical maps even more valid. Sorry sphere earthers.
