Crusader Kings III Available Now!
The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
Actually, it looks like you weren't here during the horrible Strategy First/Stardock years with EU2 DRM and etc.
Johan,
Hotjoin is the single greatest addition to a Paradox game ever made. It may, in fact, be the single greatest innovation in the history of man.
I am prostrate before you, eyes and cheeks (and so forth) damp with the grace and the rapture, trembling, possibly having some sort of seizure, and prepared to offer you sacrifices of the bull, lamb, or child variety (combo platter also available).
Praise be unto you, God of Thunder and Rock and Roll, your Kingdom come, your will be done, etc., and may you even win an MP game!

This is the most exciting change I've seen so far. You really need to go back and put this system into CK2/Victoria2/HOI3. This'll tremendously boost the popularity of your games if there's a live community instead of 2 a handful of games being played each day.
You are right, my first Paradox game was EU3.
Looks like I started right at the beginning of the PDS/PI golden age. ;-)
It is through Steam, so it would probably be solved by sending a message through Steam.
I hope there is an option to have MP without logging into Steam with Standalone Servers.
Because, you know, you can't log into Steam sometimes due to servers restarting or other problems on their side.
Well, in all my years of Steam (3) that has yet to happen to me, so I don't think that's much of an issue.I hope there is an option to have MP without logging into Steam with Standalone Servers.
Because, you know, you can't log into Steam sometimes due to servers restarting or other problems on their side.
Well, it happens rarely, that's true, but it still happens from time to time. Sometimes they have heavy problems and Steam is down for several hours. (Which is quite a problem for games like War of The Roses, for example.)
My concern is basically this: I just don't like another random factor that would not allow me to MP with my friends without any way around it. I hope there is a way, like Hamachi LAN or Standalone servers.
I've never played any Paradox games multiplayer before but perhaps it's time to try. My biggest concern is the inability to pause at any time and adjust the game speed based on how much stuff is going on.
Usually the MP speed is set at 3 bars. Sometimes it is lowered to 2 bars when there are big wars going on.
On average, in EU3, you can cover around 25 years in 4 hours. So in 4 sessions you can cover 100 years.
STOP! COOKIE TIME
