It seems odd to me that paradox games are mega popular considering they are just the same tired old engine using different sprites and national parameters every time. It must take their team only a few weeks at most to bang off a new game and then rake in millions of dollars in sales while they make the patches that are needed to finish the game. My friend bought one called Caesar or Rome I think and he played it for like 1 or 2 hours before permantly stashing it away never to be seen again in his piles of junk.
And you are basing that on what exactly? The HOI3 engine is based on EU3... Paradox worked on HOI3 for about 4 years...so I would think that's huge amount of work. Lot of people do not realize how much effort it is to make something like EU or HOI. As far as I know there in't anybody out there that makes games like Paradox grand strategy games on such detailed level. I don't have experience with every Paradox games but I played HOI, EU3 and now HOI3 demo and these games are pretty good.
