Suddenly time reverses itself and the bullet travels backwards into Booth's gun. We follow the bullet in slow time as it slowly approaches Lincoln. John Wilkes Booth pulls out his gun and fires. Then, his eye catches something - a reflection in a conveniently located grandfather clock. An advisor tries to get his input on Confederate holdouts in the State of Guyana, but Lincoln is too engrossed in the play for work. The curtain opens, revealing a troupe of actors performing Our American Cousin. Text: 'Paradox Interactive Proudly Presents It's Next Masterpiece'.

When the car finally stops, he steps out to the thunderous roar of adoring onlookers, an explosion-marked Washington Monument rising behind him. Should've been a fully animated and romanticized version of the 1907 Tiflis bank robbery, that then shifts into the 'modern day' as we see the young dashing rogue Stalin in the backseat of the escape car age into the older general secretary Stalin. Why didn't they film three minutes of someone having the game on pause while poking through a bunch of ledgers before alt tabbing to a wiki while listening to a podcast And if you know which parts of the year Swedes are on holiday (~40% of the calendar iirc) you can ballpark the release date, since obviously they'll want to be in office for post release support. You can usually get a feel for how far along a Paradox game is based on dev diaries.

That being said I also expected a 2022 release date so this was more confirmation of what I guessed. The last diary on graphics was because they were supposed to show off a dev diary on Characters but the dev writing it got sick so they scrambled to come up with a new one. And it’s consistent with how Paradox has been announcing their recent games/DLCs-do a bunch of diaries, then only very near release announce a date. Last diary on graphics already seems like they’re running out of new things to tell us. The dev diaries have shown that development is pretty far along. I think it’s reasonable to think it’ll be this year. If the pops pope wants food they should get a job If the pops want food they should get a job Thought this was the CK3 thread for a moment. What about import subsidies without tariffs? Can I fully subsidize the import of food for my pops, for example? What about slapping tariffs on specific countries and trying to start the Tariff Wars? I.e like when Italy and France put tarrifs on each others wine? I need to crater the SoL of my peasantry through misguided aid programs! I know you can subsidize specific industries but I don't know if there's a way to subsidize goods that you import but that your pops consume raw. I wonder if this means there'll be no more 'unprofitable' trade routes.Īs long as there's still some way to subsidize, like, imported grain. Yeah, previously, you manually adjusted the 'level' of the trade route (determining how much of the good is moved) and now it seems the level is determined by market conditions. Wiz posted: Yep! Trade Routes auto-adjust to how profitable the good is to trade under the current market conditions (price, tariffs, etc).īasically I believe that Trade Routes were fixed amounts previously, but now they grow or shrink over time based on how profitable the goods are.
