Let me really blow your mind then and tell you I was on the Internet before DNS, real men did not need fancy names we used numbers dam it and we liked it.

Crusader Kings III Available Now!
The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
Haha, nice! I only remembered some IP addresses that I used for troubleshooting DNS issues.
haha,
"dial up" anyone?
Like this,
or this?
Luckily, I could only remember the latter..
I think Paradox/EU wasn't even thought of back then..
While doing a quick search for pics of early Paradox members, I found at least a nice one of Kallocain at ggc:
But that was like other pictures of the team taken not long ago.
Maybe the team can come up with some old pics with computers buried under pizza boxes, Johan one handed typing the code of EUI etc..

It hits me now that the first game I remember buying and playing was Svea Rike, together with Worms 2. I was Nine years at the time, which makes 2013 the sixteenth year I've enjoyed playing paradox games. Dear lord the times flies. I don't think I ever beat the game, though I probably was a little too young for it. Tack för alla goda spelminnen, Paradox!
No, EU was based on the boardgame Europa Universalis designed in the early nineties by Philippe Thibault (of AGEOD). But I believe some people involved in making the Svea Rike computer games also took part in making the EU computer game.
I guess this Thread is dead?
*Poke* Johan! Update! For Christ sakes you still have East vs. West Coming in Q2 2013! Plus only Victoria II: A House Divided expansion and Crusader King II: Sunset Invasion DLC. What do you have to do around here to get some PI history?

Sooo, I removed the list of games. I linked to the same list on the website instead, one that we actually update.
Regarding adding more to the history, that is really Johan's thing to do when he is at work and idle, and right now he is on vacation, so that is going to be a while more. I could fill in with stuff I know, but he is just up to 2007 and I didn't start until 2009, so that will have to wait!
Well at lest my poke didn't go unnoticed! Thanks! :blush:Sooo, I removed the list of games. I linked to the same list on the website instead, one that we actually update.

People wanting to know a little of Paradox history should take a look at this article in Polygon:

Superb, with stuff from Johan and Fred I hadn't read or heard before.
