How old are HOI3 players?

[Danion]

I've always loved strategy games, after playing Empire: Total War, I remember thinking. A game that's like this but without all the 3d battles, I just auto-resolved. I did a quick google search and found Eu3, and fell in love with it.
Later checked out more of paradox games, found HoI3 and fell madly in love with it.

And I am 20 (21 in October)

Crazy! This thread is running and running. In a week I will count the average age of the players.

Does anybody know, if a girl/woman is playing HOI3?
If yes, my ideology about woman would be increased in positive way, but til now I never heared about one.

My girlfriend plays the game. I am sure there are others.

A gender/country breakdown would be interesting.

I hope that one 70 year old guy is a WW2 vet.

He would have been too young. 70 years ago from now was 1941

I assume it wasn't made right now. But either way it says 70+, so he could be 95 for all we know.

-wevodaur reported he was 70 years old.

-The last group of a histogram is typically a (+) if the count is very low or very low and highly variable, for example, if there were 4 people aged: 70 years, 78 years, 85 years, 92 years. Each one would have their own bar with a count of one; condensing them into a (+) category still conveys most of the valuable information.

29 years of age.

Been playing games since Commodore 64 back in the 80s.
First strategy game, Red Alert, yes played that before the original C&C. Dont remeber why.
And so far, I meet 1 more person that plays Hoi... Love strategic games in the ww2 era, and hates low-brain-press-x-to-win-games on console.

First Paradox game was EU2. Bought HOI3 at release. No idea what my first strategy game was. Probably C&C Red Alert, just like Tompa81. I also played the original later, it was the windows 95 version.

We have tried in the past. She is also the one who went and released and made independent all the Middle East Commonwealth nations and started the Zionist Middle east which then took the Suez and joined the Comintern.

I will perhaps rent her out for the right amount of money.

15 years old.

I started with HOI2 when I was 12. Although any form of strategy gaming started with Civ4 at 11.

 

[Sights]

19 years old.

Started playing HoI2 about 4 years ago. Been playing HoI3 since release.

I don't remember when I started playing strategy games, but it was a long, long time ago. When I was maybe 10 or 11, I think, if I were made to guess at numbers.
