heh, PoN costs $19 on steam. Put that on sale for 10-20% off and you get what? Almost nothing being discounted. On the other hand there are games on steam that are pre-release and sell for $50-60. Even before being released steam puts a sale tag on them and sell for 10-20% off which amounts to more ...

I really think a lot of people haven't upgraded their minds yet to the new order in the game selling market. You are still thinking that a game on sale on steam is the same as finding it on the bargain bin on Gamestop (or whatever store you used to go to). No no no... Steam (and other download sites...

I'm talking about a game in a fully playable state and not what we have now with the beta patches. I'm playing it, actually I can't stop playing it, so you aren't really making your case saying it isn't playble. Although, I'm really not sure what are you looking for with a post like this one. Is it...

I think getting money is actually too easy. I garantee you'll feel the same way in when there is that click and you sudenly realise how the system works.

Never I hope, but I know that is just wishful thinking. The thing I love the most about these games is how the developers are always tweaking, adding and tinkering with the game. Not only that makes the game more interesting because I know it is evolving but that also increases it's replayability an...

If you have the public beta then you know where the tech and support forum is.

Check over there again there is a new open beta, 1.01f. Might solve some of your problems.

Adding some secret diplomacy could be a good feature to... (Like secret pact of defense or attack against some one or better some localised action of someone...)

It is unfortunate that so many developers shoot themselves in the foot with these DRM schemes. I always wonder if they even take account what type of consumer they have. I mean, this is a niche game, sold to a mostly older type of gamer. That coupled with today's Digital Download sites means that th...

Last I checked, Johan doesn't work for AGEOD. Strange question, Tag; why do you ask? This is just a guess, but I think the means the lead developer from Paradox, aka Johan. To be honest I wondered that as well since there is a banner on this site that says "From the developer of Europa Universalis"...

Thank you for the reply.

Hello! I've been poking around trying to find some answers to my many questions, since the wiki is down I have to do what I can. I'm finding a lot of contradictory responses on some issues.
