I'm confused. This post was made today? But AHD has been out for a while now, let alone the demo.

 

[Darkrenown]

The demo isn't out yet. Demos aren't always pre-release.

How's that odd? Never noticed that Paradox games tend to have a February 30th? It's a symbol of Swedish work ethic. Even when a month formally ends, they keep on going.

Interestingly there was an actual February 30th in Sweden. In 1712.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_February

"The Swedish Empire (which included Finland at the time) planned to change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar beginning in 1700 by omitting leap days for the next 40 years. Although the leap day was omitted in February 1700, the Great Northern War began later that year, diverting the attention of the Swedes from their calendar so they did not omit leap days on the next two occasions, causing 1704 and 1708 to remain leap years.

To avoid confusion and further mistakes, the Julian calendar was restored when, in 1712, one extra leap day was added, thus giving that year a 30th of February. That date corresponded to February 29 in the Julian calendar and to March 11 in the Gregorian calendar. The Swedish changeover to the Gregorian calendar was finally accomplished in 1753 by omitting the last 11 days of February."

It would make an interesting easter egg to include it in EU4.

Check the AAR subforum. That should give you an idea.
