should be only cosmetic. All the tanks in the picture are already in the tank trees. Tiger II check, T-28 check, Whatever the hell this french super heavy is called again.

So how is it now? Paradox, please explain, this is silly! Are the tank skins just cosmetic or is it actual new units in game, which makes this game a pay-to-win?! You can't just write in the description "Tank pack" without explaining the meaning of this...

Question before I preorder.

I am an American living in Germany. I have a US credit card/billing address so paradoxplaza won't allow me to order. If I order off the US steam store, will I get the censored or uncensored version?

Mannstien said:
This :cool:, though I don't know what the extra tanks mean? Are they different from the ones we research for the majors like if we create a variant or are they just models for those specific techs? It wasn't very clear to me.

{Which was quoted by BobbyDylan}
They're art. 3d models. Or at least I hope so. God, I'd not considered otherwise.

{Which podcat then answered}
yes its of course 3d models

    For me, man, who live in Poland and feel Polish citizen, it's something very important, that people, who have created that game think about my Country and its history. Big thanks for all you guys. You didn't forget about Nation, which was attacked, and that was the main reason of World War II. Thanks, thanks, thanks. Best regards for YOU!

You will get the censored version.

Steam looks at your IP-address to determine what a publisher has deemed you worthy of.

Using a VPN might help.

One more question, 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!)
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?posts/21199926/

Creo que si estará en español, en la página oficial ni en Steam lo ponen pero se ha dicho tanto en este foro como en el español.

PD: Sorry for spanish but I don´t speak english.

So how is it now? Paradox, please explain, this is silly! Are the tank skins just cosmetic or is it actual new units in game, which makes this game a pay-to-win?! You can't just write in the description "Tank pack" without explaining the meaning of this...
they are sprite packs, like in hoi3 eu4 ck2 etc etc etc

And as Churchill said the war started so that Poland could be free-not dominated by Germany- and ended up under Soviet domination. Great irony.

I am an American living in Germany. I have a US credit card/billing address so paradoxplaza won't allow me to order. If I order off the US steam store, will I get the censored or uncensored version?

Americans,British and Russians imposed those rules on Germany,so that there is no more danger of militarism uprising in Germany. I think you'll get the German edition restrictions.
