It's awesome to have recent guides for this! I was just thinking of trying the game out. It's really a shame that such a good game (after the updates) was essentially abandoned. At least there's a relatively strong community still going with mods etc.

Hopefully they turn out helpful! I'm making every topic I can think of, cause I love this game. It's my favorite paradox game since Vicky 2.

It feels like a very complete game to me. Even without owning any of the DLCs. I wouldn't necessarily worry about it being abandoned. At least it keeps the price down =P

@@KonglomeratYT good to know :)

29:32 Regarding the extra E, BCE stand for "before the common era", it's counterpart being CE, or "Common Era". Historians came up with it because the terms "Before Christ" and "Anno Domini" (BC & AD) were considered too Christian-centric. Anno Domini is Latin and translates to "In the year of our lord", making it especially Christian. Personally I find it a bit silly, as they only changed the terms and not the actual logic behind the dates. After all, the year "0 CE" is still the date that Christians believe that Jesus Christ was born in.

This "Common" calendar has a 0 in it? Cause I know the normal calendar goes from 1 BC to 1 AD with no 0. So does that mean it's always 1 year off once you hit AD with this one paradox put in? That sounds even more confusing XD

For rather boring arithmetic reasons related to converting between Julian and Gregorian, Jesus is traditionally held to have been born in ... 4AD. This is independent of arguments placing the "true birth year of Jesus" up to 6 AD based on context clues in the Bible. I imagine someone post-ww2 saw an opportunity for secularism and it caught on.

This is a great guide that explains the basic systems unlike other guides.

Yes sir. This is "straight out of the box". Any new player launching the game for the first time will have exactly what I show in all of my guides. There are zero DLCs, mods, or beta patches used.

nice guide. btw that bce in the date stands for before common era. idk why they don't just say christ but that's it if you are wondering.

This game has a bit of all of their main series so I likely referred to all of them. Off the top of my head I know I referred to the trading and resources as being EU-like. The military organization system with how battle lines play out I'd reference HOI3. And pops I'd reference Vicky 2.
