Soren Johnson Posted February 10, 2015 In this episode, Soren interviews Henrik Fahraeus, who is a Game Director at Paradox Interactive, where he has worked on the Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, and Hearts of Iron series. Also sitting in on the interview is Jon Shafer, lead designer of Civ5 and currently at work on his independent strategy game At the Gates. They discuss whether the Civ and EU games live in alternate dimension, whether provinces are better than hexes, and why it's bad to have too many sons. Games Discussed: Lords of Midnight, Seven Cities of Gold, Europa Universalis series, Hearts of Iron series, Crusader Kings series, Civilization series https://www.idlethumbs.net/designernotes/episodes/henrik-fahraeus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gatazhk Posted February 11, 2015 Thoroughly enjoyed this - cheers! I do believe Paradox should experiment with its system of warfare for future games, specificially the ways armies camapign and the battle tactics available to the player. Soren (or was it Jon?)had some good suggestions on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
