Puppet paths kinda tend to suck, this would more be heavy concessions

#

However

#

Polands puppet path is actually ok, the cores you can get are outstanding

#

Ontop of that you can always break free

#

So maybe you’re not wrong, they just TEND to suck but if you make ‘em right they can be solid af

#

Not even that

#

And getting Black Sea caucas cores is wonderful

#

Like you can wait ad Poland until Germany is basically at Moscow

solid gyro
#

Yeye

#

You can screw over Germany mid-war and peace out I beleive

#

That’s good too, but you don’t get caucas cores and Ukraine cores if you do that

#

I believe war with germany and not ussr should be not avoidable

Ai whites, I mean

#

They'll probably at more focuses like Yugo and Greece

solid gyro
solid gyro
#

More than Polands Yugo needs an exile tree

#

It’s focus tree disparity is just kinda crazy, there’s no reason to do the evolution focus trees instead of self-Balkanizing

solid gyro
#

The practical reasons are non existent

solid gyro
#

Also unless you do demagogue it's the only way to go Fascist

long ruin
#

Yugo give up all your land to Italy and Germany path KEKW

solid gyro
#

Although clean borders alone make it worthwhile at times

solid gyro
#

They are OK

still forum
#

And no democracy hurts even more

solid gyro
#

But not mind-blowing

#

Slovenia to Germany vovdjina to Hungary, Croatia to Italy

solid gyro
#

NSB was on crunch towards the end

#

Idk Whites don't have room for a big focus

#

A lot was cut, like democratic Russia

long ruin
#

The white path is constitutional monarchy right?

solid gyro
#

Since like the civilwar optimistically doesn't end till '38

solid gyro
#

Basically lol

#

The worst part abt the whites is that

still forum
# solid gyro Path wise?

They are just long dont give anything meaningful and weak while lack basic stuff such as generals or high command

yeah right/left oppo get to keep the level 4 field marshalls

while stalin kills em

#

No democratic path sucks

solid gyro
#

So they made some ground obviously

long ruin
#

Really I do hope people who already own the DLC get a coupon for the next rework

solid gyro
#

But deadlines are a cruel thing I spose

long ruin
#

like if we had WTT 25% coupon for next Japan DLC

solid gyro
#

That would be fair

#

Or SOMETHING at least

solid gyro
#

But tbh I pre-order every dlc

#

I anticipate the Reddit is not pleased about this for the next week

solid gyro
#

It’s my biggest weakness

#

I see HoI4 dlc, I purchase

#

Like screw the Steam reviews

#

AAT was solid

#

ToA was an OK dlc

#

AAT was great overall, actually

still forum
solid gyro
#

It was amazing

#

Norway is pretty bad, even Arheo admitted that

still forum
#

Like they did at least for denmark commie

#

Exist with 1 focus but does

solid gyro
#

Finland, Denmark, and Sweden are all enjoyable

solid gyro
#

Finland was the most fun I had in hoi4 for a while

solid gyro
#

I feel like people don't understand

#

Quisling could’ve been fun af if dine right

still forum
#

Or a minor one like italian democratic path

solid gyro
#

You don’t get cores or anything

It should start the worst and get better to reflect the government gradually becoming accepted

#

honestly if I just get katyusha ill be happy

long ruin
#

But something should be done if the dlc are now completely free

#

I understand price discounts/discrimination

solid gyro
solid gyro
#

Just checked

#

In pretty sure the intent was that you'd form Kalmar

#

And get Cores

#

Also has anyone manged to Annex Portugal as Brazil through the first focus*

#

?*

still forum
#

I actually afterall enjoyed norway most out of all nordics they reworked despite getting least work like least amount of generals or some bugged decisions for alt democratic that costs so much it's impossibile to complete

#

Cuz their commie path war crazy op

solid gyro
#

They're unit models are bugged

#

Which sucks

still forum
solid gyro
#

If you go into designer

#

And look at the models

#

Only one appears

still forum
solid gyro
#

In reality Norway has atleast 3 unique mldels

solid gyro
still forum
#

Maybe for militia?

solid gyro
#

Nope for regular infantry

#

Militia has two models

solid gyro
#

It's the same for Brazil

still forum
#

What is paradox doing

#

Omg

#

I hate rng

solid gyro
#

But you can get them through the focus

still forum
#

Does brazil have tech names?

#

Which are also bugged?

solid gyro
#

And I can tell this isn't intended because if you do the Guardia Nacional focus it will spawn infantry divisions with a different model

solid gyro
#

But I love Katten because he basically let me show him them in DMs and said he'd shoot it on to the dev team<3

#

Based customer support right there

still forum
long ruin
#

btw can brazil not core portugal

solid gyro
#

Brazil is super bugged

#

Democratic Brazil can't core South America

#

Which it's implied that It coukd

#

I also can't invite other nations to its faction

#

Unlike non-aligned Brazil

#

Also heard Commies couldn't get decisions

still forum
#

And they fixed commie but not democratic

solid gyro
#

I mentioned that to Kattej

#

It'll prolly be fixed

still forum
solid gyro
#

I have

#

He had me send them to him

#

He was in this chat so I caught him while I could tbh

harsh hull
#

Country select screen for base game as of next week

solid gyro
#

Not bad

still forum
# solid gyro I have

You could tell him about italian balance of power decreasing after retaking lost cores, or about estonian cores being broken for finno ugrian path or about soviet decision to core sakhalin etc dont work or about polish puppet condition for nationalist commonwealth are bugged

solid gyro
#

I'd have to catch him here again then

#

But tbh I'm more concerned with the new dlc

still forum
solid gyro
#

Also, if you yourself push the Italian BoP to the end yourself civilwar doesn't trigger

still forum
#

You cant do anything about it dropping

#

Even after you retake city

solid gyro
#

Yeye, but civilwar is the main debuff to decreasing

#

If you can avoid the civilwar doesn't matter too much imo

still forum
#

It just sucks and dont make sense to endlessly lose balance of power cuz you lost village that you reconquered

solid gyro
#

Yeye

#

Tbh I'm pretty sure devs will do something one day

#

Cause I'm pretty sure they've atleast seen the Itakian thing

#

They did say war-effort was coming back

#

Ngl

#

Biggest question nownis

#

Are they going to announce the new dlc on the anniversary

#

Or have a new models pack

still forum
#

Dont see how they fix something that's confirmed to be bugged for years

solid gyro
#

May've been intended tbh

wild nymph
#

It was good of paradox to make those DLC free but of course it’s the only 3 dlc I’ve paid for

wild nymph

Yeah I guess I at least had good taste? I’ll keep telling myself that…

check earlier messages from yesterday lol

#

germany is outdated by 6 years, ofc it needs a rework

#

japan will probably be the next dlc after germany to be redone

leaden jolt
foggy flower
#

Its a lot of features that should’ve been in the base game but were sold instead

#

Although it’s still really a lot of money to just lend out for free

#

Which is why I think some kind of retribution for these players should be there

#

Not a refund but something that can make us feel special

lunar folio
foggy flower
#

But something like: you get a song each dlc and maybe a content pack you don’t have yet

#

Something like that would be appropriate

long chasm
#

maybe make all dlc's free so that features aren't locked behind a paywall?

#

i think that makes sense

lunar folio
#

"Maybe stop profiting from your biggest source of income"

#

The amount of money they were making off these 3 was pretty minimal at this point and its probably worth the manpower cost

foggy flower
#

Something call

#

Even if it’s worth 5 dollars

long ruin
#

I just think it should be a coupon on the next dlc

#

or for the next two

pastel onyx
#

i feel like the reason they made these free is to rework them

#

and i have a bad feeling the reworked version will cost money

#

even if u bought the dlc before the rework

foggy flower
foggy flower
#

But if they made all the reworked focus trees one dlc I‘d be fine

long ruin
#

but it also helps that giving everyone these dlc means they dont have to worry about checkifs for any future focus trees

pastel onyx
#

bruh and what if i bought the first version

long ruin
#

with regards to these 3

#

You probably get nothing

pastel onyx
#

now i have to pay for it again

long ruin
#

correct

pastel onyx
#

istg paradoxes money policies are predatory as f

solid gyro
#

I remember when dlcs were called expansion packs

foggy flower
#

The problem with them isn’t that they exist, it’s that they hide some incredibly important feature behind them

#

And just integrating three DLCs that all cost 15 or more at release is considerable as a scam

solid gyro
#

And expansions packs added 10x the amount of stuff dlc did

#

Yuris revenge, The conquerors, Barbarian invasion

still forum
#

Modern ca dlc policy is even worse than paradox

solid gyro
still forum
#

Barbarian invasion is very like medieval 2

solid gyro
#

Not too mention that westwood doesnt even exist any more

still forum
#

More like separate game than dlc

solid gyro
#

The studio that created command and conquer

#

And EAs businesses model is probably the worst of the 3

solid gyro
#

As well as the Conquerers

#

My favorite campaign in that expansion pack was the Attila one

#

In the last mission You basically ride down the Italian peninsula to the gates of Rome

thorny shell

Just buy the starter pack (HOI4) at discount

It costed me like 10 bucks

Otherwise what is the point of historical

will 1939 start ever get reworked?

it's very poorly made

they complain about it not being played

how can anyone play something that unbalanced

it seems like they just set focuses and research and dont change anything else

why do so many people want middle east dlc? do they really want some focus trees about absolutely doing nothing?

You

Seem to forget Iraq and Iran were invaded during ww2

You're also forgetting, basically how vital and resource rich these countries were towards the war effort

How could a historical path work in which your nation is annexed

The Middle East at least is near the fighting

Even if half of it wasn't involved

winged cedar
#

The middle East is pain

lunar folio
#

Also Iran and Iraq straight-up got invaded so like they got something to do

winged cedar
#

I have never once seen negative supplies

Except when I was going through Iraq

Supplies do not exist bro

You might as well give all your units, a wooden baseball bat

visual willow
lunar folio
#

I just use tanks and sweep through Iraq so fast the supply issue doesn't affect me :)

Multiple people also want focus trees for dutch east indies and malaysia

So yeah, there is a market for countries with no potentional

visual willow
winged cedar
#

I think a Libya focus would be cool :>

winged cedar
visual willow
#

Eastern front mainly

winged cedar
#

Oh, he tried that

#

But got stopped at Stalingrad and eventually ran out of supplies

#

Then the whole thing happened

lunar folio
#

Honestly outrunning supply issues was kinda unironically what Barbarossa was

winged cedar
#

That’s why he kept telling his generals to keep going

#

Russia winter kills you and supplies

#

He wanted to blitz Russia

visual willow
#

Ok but he didn't actually outrun his supply so L

winged cedar
#

And the second he got stopped is the second he was screwed

lunar folio
#

Well yeah cause it was a bad plan on a scale as large as Russia

winged cedar
lunar folio
#

No he did not

winged cedar
#

The encirclement in Russia was smart

#

I say he did decent

#

The way he fought through Russia

#

But the thing is

#

The plan was temporary

lunar folio
#

Encirclments are not a new concept

visual willow
#

More like the soviets fought terribly instead

winged cedar
#

The entire foundation was based on like

#

Temporary victories

lunar folio
#

And yeah a lot of German success was founded upon Soviet failure

winged cedar
#

So I think

#

Barbarossa was failed from the start

winged cedar
lunar folio
#

I mean he was gonna invade the Soviets sooner or later, regardless of if the purges had happened

winged cedar
winged cedar
#

Because I heard somewhere that Stalin was actully like surprised

#

And considered Hitler a friend

lunar folio
#

That's a very controversial debate which I simply do not know enough about to say what I think

winged cedar
#

It’s interesting to think

#

No one forced him to turn on Russia tho, so the end was completely his fault

lunar folio
#

I mean he forced himself to do that

#

The fundamental ideological ideas as well as the ideological differences were what implicitly forced Hitler to invade the Soviet Union

winged cedar
#

He also really hated communists

lunar folio
#

Yeah that's the ideological differences

winged cedar
#

Oh, I see what you mean

visual willow
#

It would take multiple miracles for germany to truelly win

winged cedar
#

Meh, it was going pretty decent because of appeasement

winged cedar
#

Because if you think about it, it was Germany vs the world

visual willow
#

A german-soviet war was inevitable, it's all stalin build up to

winged cedar
#

Any war like that was lost

#

There’s just simply too many enemies

visual willow
winged cedar
#

Yeah I see how it could be like a countdown

visual willow
#

41 was like, one of the best case scenarios and even there it was near impossible for germany to win without collapsing before hitting the end line

winged cedar
#

Yeah I’m starting to see how the war was lost from the start

#

BUT THERE WAS ONE WAY TO WIN

#

STEINER

visual willow
#

And don't forget that the nukes that hit japan where meant for germany, they just lost too quickly

winged cedar
#

all Hitler had to do was wait for Steiner to attack >:<

#

Damn

#

Yeah

#

Again any war like that is lost

#

It’s you vs the world

#

And the world has nukes in an age where no one knew they existed

deep grove
#

germany basically won cuz everyone around them was weak

#

as soon as mfers stopped being weak

winged cedar
#

Everyone around them didn’t want another war

deep grove
#

yeah

#

and in war they were ass

winged cedar
#

I feel if the Allies acted instantly as soon as Germany did the first crazy thing

#

They would’ve won easily

#

With very little casualties

deep grove
#

yeah

#

no one wanted a war

#

they hoped mr schmitler would chill

winged cedar
#

I think it was more desperation then they actully believed it

#

I mean no one would be stupid enough to not see Germany was just gonna keep asking for more

Did Trial of Allegiance add anything other then the new focus trees? I am confused.

sleek portal
#

It's a country pack, so it's focus is mainly on the focus trees and fleshing out certain countries

#

MtG added the ship designer, TfV the puppet system features, etc, but the country packs (BftB and ToA) mainly focus on fleshing out nations

plain cove
#

Where do I find the long answer? (I am very bad at finding the patch notes)

polar jasper

But those are free

Monroe Doctrine changed with the DLC, now America can go to war with any non democratic country in the America's for 50 political power

calm bramble
#

everyone asks when german update

#

no one says how german update

#

first off the fascist path

#

it needs less cheese

#

maybe some more cores

#

or you should be able to form groB deutsches reich

#

with being able to core all of the former imperial lands

#

austria and sudentenland too

#

just by controlling all of those territories, no rng event maneuvers by the ai if on ahistorical

calm bramble
#

and over all more focuses that dont really give buffs persay but it should like lead to more paths like italy

#

and for the opposition path

#

the GCW needs to be more complex

#

weakest civil war in the game for a major by far unless I am forgetting something

#

(french maybe idk)

#

more prep for the civil war, maybe remove those buffs that the general has

#

and overall more chaos maybe

#

bavarian independence, a partisan side somewhere, ruined germany

I feel as if I have been robbed by PDX since they are giving away 3 DLCs that I paid with my hard earned money

Wyd "Um no". As I said; "time is irrelevant on the matter". I did not buy these DLCs the moment they came out.

That is not streamlining

U alr had it for 2 yeara

Are u entitled to 40% of ur money back

Same logic

Except its a 100%

#

You are not following my logic

dense gale
#

It is ur argument is people should be entitled to the cheapest price

digital geyser
#

no

dense gale
#

No matter when they bought it

#

By your logic

#

Everyone should be getting refunds everytime a dlc goes on discount

digital geyser
#

No that is different

dense gale
#

How so

#

The price of dlc correlates with how long it came out

#

When epic games or steam givea out games like death stranding

#

Are the people who bought it 2 years ago entitled to it being free

#

U are being mad at nothing

digital geyser
#

Steam and Epic are giving out games when their finances allow the to do so and these free games also work as promos for their launcher to be used more

floral cradle

there's a lot that can be done and expanded on, especially the SS

dense gale
digital geyser
#

Since BBA i have not bought anything

#

The way they are putting out these DLCs has become idiotic

dense gale

Its just a permanent 100% discount is what it is

digital geyser
#

Dude

dense gale
#

Like ur whole argument hinge on its not fair i paid for dlc that u prob bought on discount

#

Which kinda makes u hypocritical

digital geyser
#

I am saying that users who have bought these dlcs prior to them becoming free should get some sort of exclusive gift or discount because they have sent their hard earned money on these dlcs

dense gale
#

Because same logic can be applied for people who bought it full price

digital geyser
#

No it cannot be since these people are fully aware when sales comes and can wait to buy them

dense gale
#

Well now u can be aware that

#

In 8 years time aat will be free

Lmao

i buy it full price cuzz i want 2 play it👍

dense gale
#

The price is you get the thing now

hard smelt
#

yup

digital geyser
#

or maybe because you don't have the patience to wait

dense gale
#

I got all my dlc from hoi challenges

digital geyser
#

i am not referring to you

dense gale
#

And feedback gaming

#

Pretty much only bought base game

hard smelt
#

why would i wait if its not neccesary im not poor :/

digital geyser
dense gale
#

Because ur logic is stupid

digital geyser
#

You do not have the right of say if you only bought the base game

dense gale
#

And i did buy the old dlc

#

They were on 90% discount or sum ahit

#

Like thats the price of waiting

digital geyser
#

So my point stands

dense gale
#

Now its a 100%

#

It doesn’t

#

The longer u wait the cheaper the game

digital geyser
#

You ought to stop speaking since you practicly did not spend a dime on in game content

dense gale
#

Neither did u

hard smelt
#

XD

dense gale
#

Tell me u bought all dlc full price

digital geyser
#

Most of them yes

hard smelt
#

eh if u got ur playing time out of it its still worth

dense gale
#

For those 3 dlc?

#

Really

hard smelt
digital geyser
#

not for these 3 only

dense gale
#

Dlc that goes for like 3 bucks

digital geyser
#

Easy for you to say

#

You see not all of us live under the same economy you see

#

so for you these may seem cheap

#

but for others they may seem expensive

#

Have you taken that factor into consideration or are you just speaking for yourself?

hard smelt
#

hmmm eco is good here but it just is expensive XD

digital geyser
#

If eco is good then you should have no problem afterwards

#

But in other countries in which there is not a stable and growing economy there may be problems

dense gale
#

Thats a you issue tho

#

Like how is paradox supposed

hard smelt
#

yup if u cant buy u cant buy

dense gale
#

To account for ur financial situation

#

If u cant afford it dont buy it

#

Paradox isn’t holding a gun to ur head

digital geyser
#

Your arguemnts are pointless

#

when a company is making decisions it should take into account each and eveyone of its users

dense gale
#

Like I could understand if u bought the dlc 2 weeks before they announced it

#

But a whole year

digital geyser
#

Thats what defines a good company

dense gale
#

U are shitting me

digital geyser
#

No

digital geyser
#

It is not

hard smelt
#

reallyyy tell me how XD

#

make evrything free ?

digital geyser
#

I am not suggesting that they should make everything free

#

My point is that those who have bought these prior to then being free should get compensation

#

They should take into account the product they are releasing

hard smelt
#

i dont see why... u choose to buy it

#

i dont expect any compensation for my own choice XD

dense gale
#

My compensation was i got it early?

digital geyser
#

Wasn't it their choice to make it free?

hard smelt
#

and ?

digital geyser
dense gale
#

Evwr heard time is money

hard smelt
#

yes

digital geyser
dense gale
#

8 years is a long ass time to wait for a dlc to become free

digital geyser
#

We are talking about their money, their property and you are not going to take that into account

hard smelt
#

they could ofc , but u cant have everything

digital geyser
#

I do not want everything

polar jasper
#

Imagine if the compensation for buying the old DLCs is a new music/armor pack

#

Perfectly fine with me, I already got my money's worth from it

digital geyser
#

That is compensation

polar jasper
#

Going to be a profile badge for the thing less than 25% of people look at more than likely lol

dense gale
#

Beat case is literally they give u the preorder music

hard smelt
#

true XD

polar jasper
#

Dream on

digital geyser
#

they screw you by giving it for free and they give a pack that is equal or greater to the current price of the bought pack

dense gale
#

U know how they reward people who bought the game full price

#

Preorder music

#

I dont why u expect better

digital geyser
#

A piece of music that will play once in a while is not compensation

#

get real

dense gale
#

Tell that to the people who preordered lol

digital geyser
#

Going by your logic "iT iS tHeIR proBLeM"

dense gale
#

While thats for preorder

#

And willing buyer willing seller

#

People who preordered know what they are getting

digital geyser
#

preordering smth is differnet to making free while it was available by purchase

dense gale
#

People who preordered lnows that in 2 year time their dlc will be 30% off

#

Which is approximately like 5 bucks off

#

Old dlc goes for like 90% off

#

Most of the time

hard smelt
#

yeaaa its not worth the wait

dense gale
#

See the logic behind that now?

digital geyser
#

i am not going to continue arguing with someone who is not aware of others situations and does not take them into account and only thinks for himself

#

good night

dense gale
#

Ur thinking for urself too?

#

Anyway gn

Omg

#

They literally decided to nerf military tree for south america out of all problems

#

Making whole tree worthless

#

Gj

#

It's not that south america is behind at everything in military

#

And cant even get 5 research slots

#

Nor that you have 85849483 debuffs

#

And before you start even doing it war should be resolved unless you were trade it for getting some debuffs later removed

#

Meanwhile norway can just casually get +50% attack and breakthrough on germany

#

But lets nerf south america so it gets op bonus of +3,5% arty attack

#

Paradox moment making trash updates that downgrade trees

#

And you cant play without updating this crap

#

Omg

#

I want my money back

fresh cedar
#

They went a little too far with the nerfs considering all South America had going for it are its military buffs due to its industry taking too long to upgrade

#

Conquistador probably should’ve dropped to 10% from 20%, not 6%.

still forum
#

It wasnt ever op from the start

#

Considering all

fresh cedar
#

It was OP imo but developed so slowly it wasn’t really that game breaking

still forum
#

Not compared to what other nations were getting

fresh cedar
#

20% flat attack bonus worldwide and an extra 60% recruitable?

still forum
#

And those didnt start with ww1 guns and 2 research slots

fresh cedar
#

That’s my argument though. All they had going for them was the military buffs considering they have minimal industry and research

still forum
#

Norway gets +50% bonus for free and earlier

#

Finland is as much op

fresh cedar
#

Feel like they’ll have to dial some of the buffs back up

fresh cedar
still forum
#

Whole south america have less steel than poland i believe

fresh cedar
#

If you compare the buffs with the US, it’s still stronger than the US yet can have a similar population

#

Yeah South America has like no steel

#

So great, the buffs that allowed people to play despite lacking resources and factories are now gone

still forum
#

I wanna my money back for this downgrade

fresh cedar
#

These murdered Argentina imo

#

Gotta admit though, Brazil always seemed a step behind Chile/Argentina buff wise. So Atleast they’re more at an equal playing field

still forum
#

Everything i've read is absurd

fresh cedar
#

But then again Brazil could core easier

#

Reducing conquistador attack by 75% is wild

#

I’m super happy I got all the achievements when I did. Reminds me of how they nerfed The Global Defense Council

still forum
#

I'm never gonna play south america again

fresh cedar
#

I will, just way less often

#

I still like unifying South America

#

Never understood why Communist Brazil gets cores on all of south, Central America, and the carribean. But not Mexico

#

As if the 17-20 mil manpower form Brazil will matter that much lol

still forum
fresh cedar
#

They didn’t really do that back when they updated it

#

I’m just like, why does Brazil get 126 mil manpower, but not an extra 20 mil from Mexico

#

I mean it’s supposed to be unifying Latin America

bright plume
#

And to think I spent all yesterday getting the Qing Empire achievement

#

Didn't expect nerfs to be this wild

fresh cedar
#

Wish South Africa was able to unify the continent after puppeting all of Africa. Similar to what Chile can do with their Native American tree

fresh cedar
#

Instead of nerfing conquistador by 75%, just lock the buffs to the Americas or something

bright plume
fresh cedar
#

That’s what I’m thinking

#

Instead of the 60-75% nerfs they made. Probably will be more like 40-50%

bright plume
#

Steam needs to include what version you completed an achievement on so that we can tell the Weenie Hut patrons from the Weenie Hut Jr. patrons

fresh cedar
#

What makes me mad is that Brazil gets the 10% division speed buff but it was removed from the global defense council

still forum
#

Imo they shouldnt nerf them at all

#

Or at least make it so they get something in return

#

Like start with 3 research slots

fresh cedar
#

Buffs are necessary, but shouldn’t be as extreme. Afterall game should be a little balanced

still forum
#

They were never super mega op nations

#

Just average new tree

fresh cedar
#

Agreed, the lack of research and industry should grant higher military buffs. These nerfs went too far and removed what was special about the new countries

#

Just wait and see if they change it back up a bit. If not, don’t play them 🤷‍♂️

still forum
#

why cant i get my money back for update that downgrades tree?

harsh hull
#

Because it's Steam that handles refunds, and won't refund items purchased after two weeks or if the game has been played for two hours while the DLC has been active

west urchin
#

Excuse me, someone can explain me wtf happened with dlc? I mean, it'll ti incluye un game base? Thanks

harsh hull
#

Do you know how Poland: United and Ready is freely available to all players that purchased the game?

#

Same principle, but with three additional DLC

west urchin
#

I'm reading you and I see that the problem with paid DLC is that some will become part of the base game and will no longer be available for individual purchase? is that? . Paradox did the same with Stellaris. I'm not surprised if he does it with EUIV, Victoria 3 or CKIII.

#

I saw that patch 1.14.3 came out. They changed a lot of things and reduced a lot of values ​​to the countries from the last DLC. It looks more stable but I think I should do a little more research. The history of Latin America is complex than the rest of the world. There are many chiefs and few Indians hahahahaha
