Paradox Games IV: Eat him for Éire!

[Herargon]

Paradox . . . are you doing what I think you're going to do?

A poster made a comment about April Fools Day, which makes me wonder, how is Paradox going to screw with my emotions for the HoI IV dev diary?

By changing the release date to September 1, 2039, obviously.

Nah, they'll change the release date to January 30. They'll release a set of coordinates to where the one copy of HOI4 was buried back in 1933. Whoever finds it first owns it, but nobody else ever gets a copy.

And to be able to play it, you have to conquer the world as the Knights.
Without any subjects left.

Converting to Protestantism really is proving to have been a terrible decision that is ruining everything.

Henrik's high again.

I'm guessing it's an expansion centered around RP.

Which is just my cup of tea! The whole reason I like CK2 is because of the personal aspect.

Ditto.

Far east expansion. While I can't immediately think of a better analogy than a banzai tree, I'm sure given a few minutes of thought I could think of a slightly less odd one.

They've already had Chinese characters (if you play as India) so I wouldn't be surprised to see a far east expansion.

American expansion. That particular bonsai tree he posted is in the United States National Arboretum.

Oh come on, it's not that far of a reach.

Paradox has stated time and again they're not doing Far East.

Because this would be the first time a dev studio has changed their minds or straight up lied about future projects to the public.

I'm not saying it's certain, but it's a distinct possibility.

Antarctic expansion. The bonsai tree occupied negative space in the picture, similar to the negative space in pictures of the south pole.

It's a hint for the Sunrise Expansion. In the year 1337, the Japanese Samurai will land in India after uniting all of Japan, Indochina, and China itself. It includes the ability to commit suicide by seppuku, the ability to hire a Japanese monk for free education, the addition of Tibet, and the new Shinto religion and its heresy: Otakuism.

It's not for any reason other than performance; my mid-to-high tier computer can hardly handle the entire set of DLC that is currently out. If you add 100-200 nore provinces in China, and perhaps way more if you add Japan, Indochina, or Malaysia. Only people with the top-of-the-line computers would be able to play it. Certain people might buy the DLC and be unable to run it.

It'd be a logistics nightmare.

AMERICA CONFIRMED!

America is always confirmed.

So for my next DH exhibition, should I go for communist Spain, Allies-aligned China, or a Megarussia run? Or maybe a buffed WWI France run to see how fast I can destroy Germany? Mexican Empire?

Mexican Empire

That's a good one.

[U n i t y]

Bless you.

Blessed is thou.

I don't doubt your words.

Sigh...

Have fun in wacko land. That's the only land that Mexico can win in...

I thought that was Taco land.

Winning the Revolution as the Zapatistas was not nearly as difficult as I imagined.

Now to turn communist and invade Texas.

Ah, the only game I've ever played in DH was a Zapatista Mexico.

I wish I could do my fatherland justice

Why?

It's a simple game, but it can be fun. Especially WW1.

Paradox really needs to make a HoI-esque WW1 game.
