Your battleplans will be named in Blasters, Bladders and Astronauts. Knowing the Paradox fanbase, everyone will now buy this at almost any price.

It's nice to see a CK2 - EUIV transfer that isn't just an enormous blob that you can't lose with. I fundamentally do not understand why people play with Europe-sized Roman Empires in EUIV, like, what is the appeal of that?

After the relatively stressful starts as Armenia and Gujarat, I've been enjoying a casual chill-out game as Sweden (I was rotating kingdoms to stop de jure drift, that's why I'm Norway in these screenshots) and my artifact inventories have gotten STACKED. I've never had so many purple items before.

CKIII DLC's will be increasing in price, including ones that have already been released.

I'm sure this will be received well by the legendarily calm and level-headed Paradox gamer community.

I've finally cracked my CK3 addiction. All I needed was a decisive idea and objective for a different game: Protect Mexico against ALL threats against it as the United Kingdom in Victoria 2. It's my way of vicariously living out the Mexican dream because I'm still too scared to try and actually play in that hellhole start.

Next all they need is to add conditional surrender, like that mod I use called Peace Deals.

And to avoid Britain peacing with Germany after the fall of France just give Winston Churchill a trait to never accept conditional surrender since that was historical.

Here's a fun exercise, try to guess what the achievements are based on their icons before reading what they actually do in the DD.

I just noticed the icon of a Native American standing on the back of Abraham Lincoln. Probably the most bad-ass icon I've ever seen in my life.
