The processor is pretty weak, though, and the "normal" Paradox titles seem to all heavily relay on the CPU. While there are plenty of strategy titles in the AppStore that I find interesting, I agree that more meat-y stuff would be very welcome.

Do you have any good names to share, because I am really looking for some good empire building games. Sadly the best I can find is either Civilization, starbase orion or Assendancy, but I really need something.... Bigger and with a better AI.

Ahh, true... the new quad core cpu in the ipad3 might help remedy that, though!
Speaking of which - does anyone know if any Paradox games can make use of multiple cores/threads?
Heh, you mentioned some of the good ones already.
I've really come to enjoy Starbase Orion and its active and response developer. Other strategy games I spend too much time on are Uniwar (HD version coming out any day now), New Colony, Palm Heroes 2, Samurai, and some others that are more akin to board games (Neuroshima Hex for example). These aren't empire builders, though, just pretty good strategy games.Awesome!
So will all future games be optimized for multiple cores?
At what point do multicore benefits end? e.g., would a quad or hex core cpu running at 3ghz have any tangible benefits over a dual core chip at 3ghz?
All our new (internal) games should support multicore. You'll see some benefit with more cores, but the value drops off because there's only so much that can be threaded, especially in HoI3/V2 which weren't originally designed for it.
Another question, does Paradox North AB has anything with the development of games on OS X and iOS?
Sure, that makes sense. I'm thinking about putting together a new pc soon, though, and was wondering if chips with more than 2 cores make any difference in Paradox games, or if I should just save some money and find the fastest dual core cpu.
It's a shame there isnt a way to offload more to the separate cores, since chips these days seem to be opting for more cores at the expense of raw speed.
Since I can't get any Paradox games to work on my iPad via Splashtop, I'd love to see EU2/FtG ported to iOS!

Applefanboys '-.-
The best with Iphone is in swedish it sounds like ouch-stupid... ( aj fån )

So define Applefanboys if you could be so kind
Err, lets not and say we did.
One polarizing issue (steam) being debated at a time is more than enough.
Well I just wanted to know how all that owns an iPad could be a fanboy. It's kind of annoying with anti-apple people that just come to troll...
Does Android have a tablet equivalent?
Also any chance we'll ever see our favorite P'dox in house games making their way to tablets?
