Thrilled to see Paradox working on the Byzantine Empire instead of well known problems with the AI.

If you make us Content Designers work on the AI code I assure you that the number of problems will not go down.

Lot of cool things from this diary.
1. Country packs are back which imo are a great way to add content without requiring a total expansion.
2. The other country is absolutely Turkey. How can it not be?
3. I hope this doesnt mean Italy is the next reworked country, because the soviets need it so much more.

Other than that look forward to more new hoi content!

1. Great that you like it. It does feel like its the best way forward to get more content out imo
2. No comment :O
3. Country packs as we wrote are for minors. Bigger expansions are for revamps etc. At least thats our plan right now.

One quick question, though: are you guys going to keep this model in the future? I.E., after this pack and the 1.11 expansion, is the team going to continue working on two patches at a time, one bigger and one smaller, or is this a one-time thing?

We will see. We tried that overlapping approach on other teams and it has some issues. I don't like trying to keep two different development branches from interfering with each other if it can be avoided. Using a freelancer solves some of the issues, but not all of them.

Eat surstromming and drink beer?

When I was in 9th grade someone cracked a surströmming can in the ventilation shaft and the entire school had to evacuate for the day. So ill take the beer but the surströmming can go back to from whichever hell it came from

Why is rotten fish legal to sell as food, anyway?

it's fermented so technically edible
