I'm quite pleased at the thought of a DLC that overhauls the naval aspect of the game. I cannot play a game where you only need to have the biggest stack of ships to destroy the entire navy of your ennemies. So I preordered Mare Nostrum this week end. Did you ?

Okay, you have to be a real sucker to preorder DLC. Something that doesn't even physically exist.

Nah. I always buy the dlc on greenmangaming, since they charge in dollars, and usually around 15-20% off on top of that. I will get it as soon as it's available though.

No. Pre-ordering is a cancer on society, and anyone who does it is feeding into that cancer.

Imagine: Someone comes up to you and informs you that in two months, they will sell you a REALLY GOOD apple cake. You can pay now or in two months, it's all the same to them.

Man A decides to pay right now for the REALLY GOOD apple cake.

Man B decides not to.

In two months, Man A and Man B both realise that the promised REALLY GOOD apple cake is, in fact, only completely normal apple cake. It's still pretty decent! But it's not amazing. Man B decides to spend his money on another apple cake that smells and looks better but costs the same. Man A is left with ashes and disappointment.

I have enough money and Paradox is one of the few companies I don´t mind spending it on.


Unlike EA, a single penny would be too much for those bastards.

Preordering encourages unfinished work, and cant you remember the last 10 releases where things were not finished/over hyped? Some features in mare naustrum like sailors literally only took changes to the defines.lua. Probably took less than a day to work in. I wanted a huge focus on improving the AI, which I think is really bad right now. i want a "development" type major feature that is fun. I dont see any feature worth getting excited about imo.

You know Paradox sells unit outfits and additional musical scores right? The EA business model is here and it isnt exactly subtle.

All of which do nothing to the game mechanics. It is entirely up to you to buy them or not. And while I personally did buy the unit outfits, I didn't buy any music stuff, because it makes my ears bleed.
