Plz enable ironman-light so we can choose between well balanced and player friendly vanilla and detailed user created mod.
For all those who are bothered by random posts on the dev diaries, and just want the meat of the post - use the 'Show only dev responses' toggle. Solved.
At least since the forum upgrade a few months ago.Since when was this implemented? This old button from the forum view page that allowed me to only view dev response disappeared a few years back and I've spent possibly dozens of hours desperately scrolling to find dev responses since then. I can't believe I've been missing this feature all this time.
Can I ask why? What is it that you don't like?
I have no problem with people posting threads about things they care about and I don't. However, it's very annoying when DDs degenerate to complaints about things that *didn't* change rather than being about the changes that were described in them.Here is an idea for people who are annoyed by various threads:
Dont read them.
EU2, but mostly the same thing.Quick! Someone post screenshots of the original EU1 map.
There's a map that deserves reasons for complaining...
Oh I miss the skylines over capitals to show stability.
Holy crap they had pop in EU2 and I keep hearing an EU game can't have pop so what gives. Can't we just ditch this bloody much maligned base tax and bring back actual numbers?
...I know they won't but I kinda just wanted to say it.
Do Devs play mods?![]()

Do not misunderstand. I started with EU2 (mostly because EU3 didn't run on my old machine), and it is the game that introduced me to Paradox. But the true love of my life will always be EU3.And yet screenshots like these is what got some of us interested in the game back in the day![]()

It's easy to get that impression from the forums, but what people don't realize is that the vast, vast majority of our players have never been on the forums. Mod popularity took off massively with Steam Workshop precisely because previously you'd have to find the forums to download and install mods.
Some devs started out as modders.![]()
