Or how your EU4 spies need about a year to generate a claim on a neighboring province, thus giving you a casus belli.

- usrusr 8y agoI always suspect "inspired by Paradox" when this kind of comment comes up. It's scary to see how much these games influence our perception of history, considering the permanent conflict of interest between accuracy and gameplay. On the other hand, those games are teaching models instead of "facts", which is much less prone to cause future conflict when the stuff taught is not exactly consistent with what others were told. Ever met one of those people who only know Hitler as heroic shatterer of colonialism? scary. All in all, Paradox is doing an amazingly good job, but we should not only be careful about how many hours we lose to them, we also need to be wary of putting too much faith into the models we absorb from them.
