Apologies for my confusion, but these tank packs, are they 3D sprites or extra tanks in the tech tree that otherwise wouldn't have been available to you
if you buy the base game?

Kind of noob question but are all Paradox tied to Steam now ?

I like Steam sales :)p) so I rather have my game always working with it but I would like to buy directly from paradox from times to times.

Second question : is there a way to pre order but have a physical version. I like physical copies for my uber best most greatest favorite games. I am bit sentimental :D

Congratulations by the way.

Only sprites/models. AFAIK

In the base game you should only see the Tiger. (For all heavy and super heavy tank divisions). With the DLC you could see Tiger II and Maus driving around. (If you have them in the division-)

One more question @BjornB , this one about Mac OSX graphics requirements:

Has the game been tested on a Mac with Intel chipset?

I know the minimum and recommended settings, all ATI Radeons & NVIDIAs, which are quite the same for CK2 and EU4... And I've been playing those two games for quite a while with my MacBook Air and its Intel HD5000


BTW, my previous question about Spanish language release hasn't been answered yet (never mind, though, I know you're busy guys!)

Hey, I am residing in Germany and apparently the Paradox website obsessively wants me to by the game in USD for whatever reason -

which would be fine for me as 49,99 USD is about 12 % less than 49,99 EUR (Why do I have to pay more than the 'Murican Imperialists, btw?),

but I am afraid pretending (or being forced to pretend) to be 'Murican might bring some trouble later on...
