Do you lads and ladies see really ancient times (pre-Roman) as a possible setting for a game? I've often thought a map encompassing Gibraltar to the Indus set in the brozne age could be really cool. Doable?

Researching bronze helmets...

Seriously, I think that is what "Civilization" serie is about. Or what do you propose?

I think Portugal would be pretty upset if they made a map that start at Gibraltar. (troll;-))

Do you travel to historic sites or cities/regions to get a feel for the game desing? Like going to Berlin and have a look at the last pieces of the wall? Or the Brandenburger Tor?

I apologize if this has been asked before. If it has, ignore.
I enjoy playing most of the paradox games I've bought. But this makes me curious: which of the PI games do the PI people actually enjoy playing themselves? Each person from PI, if you desire, please tell me what is your own personal favorite PI game to play? which do you spend the most time playing outside of work?

And, the Google translate version, for a laugh :

Jag ber om ursäkt om detta har ställts tidigare. Om den har, ignorera.
Jag gillar att spela de flesta av paradoxen spel jag har köpt. Men detta gör mig nyfiken: vilken av PI-spel gör PI människor faktiskt gillar att spela sig själva? Varje person från PI, om du önskar, säg vad är din egen personliga favorit PI spel att spela? som spenderar du mest tid med att spela utanför arbetet?

Edit : unbelievably, serendipitously, the poster above asked nearly the same question at nearly the same time. Jungian synchronicity.

3. no, i deserve to be rich!

Don't you still have 90% income tax for upper brackets in Sweden?

Also, new question : I can't answer this one for myself without a great deal of introspection/thought - such as I can generate that - but the question is

What do you think led you to become as interested in history as you are, and furthermore, a very specific kind of historical interest which also involves speculating on how things might have been different if decisions made by key people had been different, and futhermore even more specifically, to create computer worlds/simulations which allow such speculation a somewhat more concrete basis? Let me know if you want to answer this compound question but need more specificity (just kidding).

Will there be booth-babes at the fan meetup? I'm opposed to them.

Why would Paradox need booth-babes when they have natural beauties like Dannie or Fredrik?
