It's a line from Gimme Shelter I think, The Rolling Stones. Something to do with war. No idea other than that.

Quoting: NakorOnFlipFlopsI guess the lack of interaction in battles is intentional. All Paradox games have this lack of focus on tactics during battle, all that a battle gives you is a result and some info that you can use in your strategy, like which unit type scored a lot of hits and which one didn't. I don't really have issues with the lack of tactics personally. Concerning the small amount of events, you're right of course.
Have you played HOI 4 ?
Or do you want something even more micro managed than that?
Well, I don't think the battles are that micro-managed, but maybe we have a different definition. It's true that that 'front lines' thing in HOI 4 doesn't werk that well and you have to direct your armies separately (which is what I think you're referring to), but you still don't really have something to do during battle. You're not putting the artillery up front and the soldiers at the back and telling them when to attack on which flank. You can still just watch the report rolling in and then take decisions. When I think micro-management I think StarCraft or even X-Com. Those battles are micro-managed.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTDo you have any ideas why the game isn't available in Germany? I can recall to have read about that in the past but I can't recall. Anyway, I'm not interested in buying it but I'd like to know what is the cause of it.
The only thing I recall was not having the German national team available due to licensing or something. But I thought that it used to be available, like in for sale, in Germany in the past. Or maybe we're talking about something else?

Did anybody manage to configure the keyboard shortcuts? According to the forums on steam you need to go looking for some kind of keyboard file under the settings folder but I can't seem to find that one under my .steam folder.
