Yo people, I’ve already asked a question similar to this and got not much feedback. So I’ve already got Europa Universalis: Rome (not a huge fan) and Crusader Kings II, I’m after something which will hook me up with hours of gameplay but it isn’t too complicated and complex.
@John: Thanks for the quick reply and I love Crusader Kings II but I’ve heard it’s a lot different from EU: III and others.
@Everyone: If any of you could add me on Steam, that’d be brilliant. ajay_x.
I am giving away a free copy of the game ‘Victoria 2′ from Paradox Interactive.

Oh my gosh, my English teacher gave us a wordmaster today and i’m a freshmen in highschool who just transferred from high school in Jamaica. There, the english is kinda different so most of the things learnt in english are new to me. If you don’t feel to tell me the direct answer, atleast tell me where and how to find it.

The Rock said on his twitter account that he has a very special announcement on raw tonight, so what do u all think it is.
And who is excited about Sin Cara’s WWE debut tonight?
I have to do the morning announcements to convince students to but tickets to the “Fall Lights” talent show event. Every morning there needs to be a creative, new, particularly funny announcement, but frankly I’m running dry! Any good ideas? (Tickets are three dollars at lunches for the record!)
Me and my friends are making an announCement for school about our up coming play bugsy malone and we don’t want to make it boring (like the announcements at school are) so any ideas!?
I am doing a school project for a public service announcement trying to convince/influence teens not to smoke. any suggestions for a good background song?
Not an invitation, but just a formal announcement that I graduated. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have a 12 minute presentation where I have to teach my class on the word and its use. The lat part of the presentation is I have to have an interactive activity with my class.
Any suggestions on a short activity concerning paradox?
I was thinking I could have them read a paragraph and find all of the paradoxes… if anybody know s of a paragraph filled with paradoxes that would be great!
Thank you so much for your help.
I already know that I cannot delete them ingame. I’ve found a folder called “save games” from the main folder,
(C:/Program files/paradox interactive/blahbahbalh) but there was no files in there. I’ve also searched all folders from C:/users/*my username*/ but the game appereantly doesn’t have a folder for itself in there.
Problem solved thanks to colanth =).
By the way, It’s not exacly appdata/roaming/…
It’s:
apdata/local/virtualstore/program files/paradox interactive/hearts of iron 2/…
Can you name any historical simulation board games or video games that deal with the interwar period of the 1920′s and 30′s?
All I know of is the expansion “Revolutions” to Paradox Interactive’s “Victoria”, which takes on the whole world from 1920 to 1935 and a card and dice game in which the prelude to WWII can be altered (forgot the name). Are there any more or is this indeed a somewhat obscure period in history gaming?
Considering everything going on in the election. Even Bill Maher is sort of sick of the randomness of certain few opinions being thrown around the internet. In video games, people become increasingly more difficult to socialize with, and more and more are only concerned with themselves; elevating their play style to that of any typical “griefer” or “troll”. People go on forums, even as modders to video games, protected by their post count as a measure of importance. They troll, deem who is right and wrong, and never get banned, like one such JorDarkElf from Paradox Interactive forums.
Is the internet losing popularity with normal people above the age of 21 upwards to 50 or 60 year olds? Are people going to come outside this summer more so than any year previous in this digital era of ours? Will there be, more people at concerts, perhaps, or more people out doing sports?
And, do you agree or disagree with me? How do you feel about the direction the internet is taking lately?
I really like Europa Universalis and other games they made. I like grand strategy. I also have rome: total war. Are there any other games like these?
I am running for announcement reporter at school. The announcement reporter gives announcements over the intercom. I need a slogan and/or poster ideas so I can campaign. Is there something I could do that would be like a tv show (iCarly or something?) If not a slogan just an idea to do for posters would work. any help would be great! Thanks!
Is it appropriate to let family and friends know where you are registered to be included in the baby announcement that are sent out upon the birth of a baby?
