Please Paradox condense the technology modifiers

I doubt it, but I don't know how the engine implements this sort of thing. As a general rule, don't make random assumptions about how complex programming issues are without knowing a decent amount about both programming and the specific situation.

I think we're safe to assume that it's not even remotely to being "hard" in this case. Overall, you're right, but not right now.

You'd think that, but stuff isn't always implemented in the most logical way. Hell, I haven't worked many programming jobs (I'm still in university and most of my work experience has been through co-op terms) and yet I've seen things that you might expect to be simple if you were just told about the functionality and yet the code would make any sane programmer's eyes bleed, and that's even assuming all error is programmer fault and not just slowly increasing complexity.

I stand by my original statement that it's far safer to just never assume anything about how practical implementing a feature would be unless you have access to the source code, and that discounts the fact that most people in this thread probably have no programming experience (flash games don't count) and thus little concept of what actually can be hard.

Assuming that a display issue is relatively easy to fix is more reasonable than assuming that it's hard to fix.

Protesting againt fixing it because it you're not "bothered by it" is beyond any reason.

this reminds of this one developer or someone of that sort claiming an unconquerable Japan was WAD.

silly.

I don't see how anyone could question that this should be changed. However, assigning a priority is another matter; there are certainly more important issues to be worked on (which seems to be the real focus of the opposition). Most of those are probably also more difficult to fix though which might allow this to be done first.

And still no word from Paradox.

Why would that surprise you? They don't respond to every bug report/feature request. As I said, this is hardly a top priority even if they were working on a new patch/expansion which we don't know about yet.
