Is paradox trying to tell me something or?

DO I NEED TO BUY MORE GAMES TO APPEASE THE PARADOX GODS?

You need to make a sweet Euro sacrifice to the Paradox Divines. Only then will you be able to live a fulfilled life.


I wonder if the European Union is present in the Extended Timeline/Modern Day mod. It could be that its mechanic is HRE-like...

If we consider the EU irl being the ''HRE'' in EU4, then what reforms would it already have done?
Pro: tolerance, individualism, technocratism, democratism, freedom, freedom of speech and moderate religious expression, the ban on hate speech, constitutional monarchism, the Rhine model
Against: intolerance, radicalism, strong discrimination, populism, fascism, nazism, communism, totalitarianism, authoritarianism, absolutarianism, fundamentalism, strong religious expression, strong nationalism, police states

I absolutely adore this question, than you for asking it! I'm currently doing European Law at my university, one of the courses, and this is the thing we are constantly struggling with. I'll give it a look.

Interesting.. You're doing European Law? It's complex. I have a family member who happens to have a book with all laws of the EU, and even then, that book has more pages than Ulysses. I'm intrigued to hear your answer! :)

The problem in comparison is that the EU doesn't have a leader country, so some terms don't apply. In general, I think the EU has enacted the following reforms in one way or another:
Reform the Hofgericht (Reform the Royal Court)
Enact Gemeiner Pfennig (Enact common taxes)
Ewiger Landfriede (Eternal peace)

I can't find the descriptions on the 'Call for Reichsreform' and 'Institute Reichsregiment' reforms, could someone give me the description of those? I mean the fluff historical background you get, not the game results.

Sadly, it is not.

I really wish the EU was in Extended Timeline (lebensraum) but alas, it is not to be.

Well, I'm doing law, Rechtsgeleerdheid in Leiden. European law, being such an integral part of our national justice system, is one of its courses. So, it's a part of my study. A good part, too! Yeah, studying European law itself could be an entire bachelor degree.

But don't worry. My own law books with Dutch law have more pages than about six Ulysseses.

Yeah, we probaly have 'Call for Reichsreform' too. Since the Treaty of Lisbon, the EU has become increasingly centralised and unified, so that probably counts.

Ah, yes. I remember that treaty being signed... I saw it on TV.
And here's the 'Institute Reichsregiment', by the way!

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/sho ... hsregiment

The text of the 'Institute Reichsregiment' decision is thus ''Consolidate the Imperial Diet, and reduce the legislative complexity.''

Also, on this Reddit thread, someone else once made a jokingly comment about the EU compared to the HRE. I think his first things were pretty accurate, but then it became too funny to be taken seriously. :P

Ah! Yes! We have that one as well! Yeah, so, everything up to Ewiger Landfriede is also present in the European Union. Which is great!

I am wondering how the last two would look, though. Renevatio Imperii I can understand, Europe going federal, but the Revocation of the Privileges... I don't really see how that would be instituted. Maybe if the European Union gains 'shared sovereignty' with the member states, but that is beside the point. So, yeah! We are a late game HRE. Only, we are not holy, not Roman, and not an empire. A better description:

Call for Reichsreform European Community of Coal and Steel

EnactGemeiner Pfennig Euro, EEG

Well, the EU has both the European Council and the Council of Ministers as a kind of Imperial Diet, representatives of every country in a kind of Upper House, so we have that. Ours has lasted at least half a century now. Take that, Hapsburg.

And the idea that Germany is the leader of the EU is not founded in any factual basis. It's a good joke to make, of course, but I just want to point out that it's incredibly incorrect.

Hue, can confirm. There's no imperialism for Europe... yet. We might colonise Africa again and redraw ugly borders into even uglier borders!

Indeed, indeed there are many who do believe so. We live in unenlightened times *comet flies by*

Also, I'm really having fun with the After the end mod. I had originally downloaded it yesterday but only had time for a some looking at the world and religions, as well as for a short ragequite after getting two DoWs basically day one both from realms I could maybe, somehow, with luck, get peace with.
Well, today that did not happen so I actually managed to play nearly 20 years. Quite fun, definitely original. I like it.

Urgh. I still can't play it, because fucking WinZip wants me to buy it. I may have to cave in to Microsoft's demands...

I extracted the file, did everything that the instructions told me to do, started the game, and came upon the vanilla version.

I'm not exactly sure if I did something wrong or not.

Did you check the box in the mod tab in the launcher?

so my reactionaryism has gone to shit, the Kaiser has been hung in front of 802,000 rebellious men, women and children while my army was busy making the Baltic bleed with Swedish blood. They put in a new, more liberal Kaiser in his place but he mucked everything up. So there was another revolution that hung the Phony Kaiser and put in a THIRD, different, more conservative Kaiser while also forming a Upper House will free elections and abolishing slavery while also forcing him to release all his puppets in SA and Europe except Jan Mayen.

Winrar's a good software. Looks less shiny but the trial is de facto unlimited.

But the file I need to extract the mod from is WinZip, and won't let me use anything but WinZip to extract it.
