It’s a straightforward system that lets you customize your leaders but I can’t really say that it adds that much to the game.

Ah, the eternal Paradox balancing problem: :)

DLC systems have a small effect on the game:
"Why are you charging this much money for this DLC???"

DlC systems have a large effect on the game:
"Why are you locking this content behind a paywall???"

I'll probably pick this up the next time I get the urge to get back in to HoI IV.

Quoting: KimyrielleI don't regret giving them my money back in early alpha!

Same here, this is definitely one of the best games I've helped Kickstart. :)

I'd probably get it just for the Anglicanism alone—I'm a huge sucker for having the maximum number of moving parts in my history simulations, even if I'm off playing on the other side of the world. :D

Then again, maybe it's time to go for an achievement run with England, could be interesting and challenging to play historically and give up my land on the continent while colonizing the Americas and Australia and conquering India. Could also be amusing to ally with random backwards nations on the other side of the world and spread institutions to them; maybe pick a Great Lakes nation in Africa and see if I can't turn them into Wakanda. :D Or I could instead try to force France in a personal union…hmmm, so many choices! :D

Renowned for their impressive running abilities[…]

Well, seems like the perfect fit for a video game protagonist then! :D

I'm also really digging that art style. I just don't think I'd be good enough at third-person platforming to be able to play this… :S:

Huh, a very interesting concept for a racing game. :huh:

Quoting: devland"split-screen online" is something we need to see more often. :)

Yeah, that's a really cool feature! :)

Quoting: ShmerlSomehow no one can answer this. Can you check please, is the update 64-bit or not?

That's what I see for my current GOG version:

file 'Shadow Tactics'
Shadow Tactics: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=8a178e29a711fa53a4b8b04236b6e40dd406b910, stripped

That's what it says for my Steam version too.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyHmmm . . . maybe I'll play offline until I'm finished my current playthrough. No update problems if it can't update.

You can also pin Paradox games to specific major release versions in Steam (right-click it, select properties, then look under the Betas tab and select version 1.9.1 from the drop-down box). I'm sure the Paradox launcher has the same functionality, I've just never used it.

I run it off an SSD so loading times were already just a few seconds for me, but quick-loading is even faster now. Like, less than a second. Loading a level for the first time still takes ~10 seconds or so, but the new progress bar feature that shows how it's going is rather nice. :)

I'm getting a real "Gang Beasts with candy" vibe from this one. :)

I wonder if the new filtering-by-OS ability and showing the supported platforms clearly on the wishlist is another careful bump towards a future SteamOS push.
