Thank you Paradox for...

[unmerged(512626)]

creating DRM-free games in this time when consumers often don't own their games or are unable to get them to work properly due to conflicts with third-party applications, their faulty firewall/internet connection/anti-virus and related issues.

I don't know but the current Steam sale and plethora of "game X is broken" and related "bug" posts reminded me how much I appreciate PI games. If you want to add your own gratitude, feel free.

Thanks for making really great games that require strategic thought and giving us chance to fit them almost perfectly to our own needs. Paradox IS the modding-friendiest developer there is, in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I love the paradox allows us to do what we are able to with modding and this is certainly one of my favorite games. But they are not the MOST friendly towards modding. Based on all the little things that are hard coded that don't have to be, this game doesn't touch the moddability that games like morrowind, oblivion, skyrim, and the Fallout series can achieve. Those games are virtually unlimited in what can be done, and that's just with the tools that Bethesda releases for modding their games. Personally, I think Paradox could be a little bit more friendly towards modding.

None-the-less, thank you Paradox for making a great game. This is certainly one of my favorites.

Thank you Paradox for actually having a sense of humor and giving us Aztecs, because they're hilarious to deal with.

Thank you guys for the amazing Karling CoA (in Dynasty shields 2)!!!!
:wub:

I would like to thank Paradox for caring so much about historical correctness. While you do not always live up to the standards of us history nerds here, I do realize that you also have to make a fun game and have deadlines you must keep. But you do incorporate the fixes to characters suggested by fans in the bugs forum, and every patch dramatically improves the game both in historical correctness and gameplay. One thing I love that you fixed is the Coptic church and the various Orthodox heresies.

EDIT: I also would like to thank you for the lack of DRM and for making a Linux version.

But you have to admit, the accessibility for modding is so high that anyone can get started by modding some values around to your liking.

Granted, it's closer to changing difficulties of some to ones of you liking, or fixing your own mistakes to not ruin your work, but still, the game sets the bar for user knowledge requirement to a really low standard.

It takes me back to the good ol' days of Rome and Medieval II Total War. When anything and everything was moddable. Not entirely true with CKII, but close enough and definitely closer than the new TW games. Text editor modding is my favorite past time, and I'm only 15

Thank you for making such a good game in general.

While I speak less on these forums, thank you Paradox for making fun games, for giving us free-DRM content, for caring about your community, listening to us and forgiving us even when we panic over small things like Aztecs. I say that, because I crushed the Aztecs when they came, small problem to me.

Also thank you Paradox for your great sense of humor, for keeping your games alive, and for ultimately giving us great games to distract us from the mundane.

Also I wouldn't be a true Paradox fan if I wouldn't dare to ask something as well: When do we get province editor DLC?!!

 

[lord_hur]

Thank you Paradox for your great games. I hope EU4 is as deep as EU3 and CK2.

I bought two Paradox packages on sale -- (getting registration sorted out for the keys) -- but thank you Paradox (again) for effectively reducing most all my productivity for the next 5 years? for the price of a movie ticket. And goodness I have 3 copies of Vicky and I can't seem to give away the surplus . Steam just eats the Amazon codes and says I have the game.

 

[zeress]

Thanks for not limiting the number of installs I have on this game! (Here's looking at you Batman Arkham city, two more installs and I officially don't own it anymore and have to prove I am not criminal scum... or pirate a game I own already >.>)

thank you paradox for epic ahistorical aztec dlc instead of republics, pagans and theocracies!

If I asked you nicely to stop using non-standard fonts and colours in your posts, would you?

I'm not even him but I would most assuredly not.

Thanks for not dumbing down your games just to sell more copies like Civ. Thanks for not selling out to EA like Bioware. Thanks for not treating the customer as a criminal by forcing strict DRM on your product. I thank Paradox and the majority of the indy devs that still make games because they simply want to make games and not to buy a yacht.

Agreed, my brotha.
They could have done so much worse, and not much better (to those without reading comprehension, that's a compliment).

I really don't think dumbing it down would've sold any more copies, though (typically dumb people have very little interest in history); it would've sold less copies, in fact. So there's that.

Thank you, Paradox, for giving us great games that let our imaginations soar with the alternate histories the games create.
Thanks also for giving us another batch of completely free content every few months,, and instead of releasing a $20 full expansion that runs on a different .exe so that everyone who doesn't buy it is no longer supported you release completely optional and reasonably-priced DLC that let me pick and choose which features I want to spend my money to acquire.
And, in general, thanks for being one of the few remaining game companies that still cares about its customers.
