Johan Twitter Teaser January 20th to 23rd!

[BjornB]

First of all: I did not intend to offend anyone by calling them Twitter refusers. Sorry if you were offended.

Also:
- This is not a thread to complain about Paradox DLC practices. This thread is here to make sure people who don't use Twitter etc don't miss out on information.
- Since I, and not Johan, started this thread. He might not be responding to your questions here. I suggest starting a thread on the specific feature you want to discuss, unless there already is one.
- Most of the stuff teased on Twitter will be explained in more detail, and get a larger discussion, in a Dev Diary in the near future.

Please behave and be nice to each other.

No offense taken, and if I haven't said it before I very much appreciate you doing this.

None taken, just slightly annoyed on the "must be on Social Network XY" stuff all over the place.
I actually appreciate it when you post the twitter teasers on the main page - also from a Page Desing point of view a different format then the large news box would be preferable for me.

Probably because the DLC comes up on Steam Store's front page and people who don't know about EU4 check it out and buy it.

That's one of the illogical things I've heard.
What kind of people [would] buy a DLC for a game they know nothing about?

Besides, DLC's such as this require the base game and have a warning stating so in a prominent location on their store page.

Thank you for posting this. It is really appreciated by those of us who do not use "Social Media" or specifically twitter.

Today it is "For info on EU4 get twitter and use the forum!"

Tomarrow it is "For info on EU4 get twitter, facebook, myspace, tumblr, google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, steam forums, paradox forums, Skype, TeamSpeak, twitch, youtube, dischord, ventrillo, craigslist, mylittleponyadventuresforum, snapchat, etcetera etcetera etcetera. . . . and starting in September the devteam will be on tinder!"

and starting in September the devteam will be on tinder!

I actually laughed IRL at this one.

Though If you're going hipster enough to use Myspace, you should definitely include IRC as well.

 

[Dracolithfiend]

Honestly the only programs I currently use are IRC, TS, and forums >,>

at least I don't use AIM xD

They see the DLC and find out about the main game and buy it.

"In 1.20, we're changing quite alot of how subjects work. Daimyo's no longer cost a diplomatic relation. @E_Universalis" - Johan on Twitter Jan 21

That's a godsend for Japan. Japan was like 4-5 relations over the limit, despite having +4 diplomatic relations from its government form.

I'm a Twitter refuser, and not at all offended! On the contrary, thank you BjornB for gathering all this information here!

Anybody else notice the new little dragon tab on the bottom right of the Japan screenshot where the HRE interface is for Westerners? I'm guessing that's for the Ming tributary system. Not a problem per se but I guess it means Japan isn't getting HRE/Papacy style mechanics for the shogunate and emperor, which is a pity. And is it just me or does Japan have a ton of new provinces and daimyos?

Speaking of new provinces, could you guys please cut Gaza in half? Gaza shouldn't stretch into the Sinai peninsula.
