In fact, I already got mine.<\/p>\n<p>This is part of their commemoration on achieving the 500K forum subscriber. And, to add to the gift, they launched their own <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.paradoxplaza.com\/shop\" target=\"_blank\">webshop<\/a> to sell their games on, where they&#8217;re currently running a <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.paradoxplaza.com\/shop\" target=\"_blank\">launching sale<\/a> on selected titles for 55% off\u00a0till February 17th.<\/p>\n<p>So, here&#8217;s a chance to grab some of Paradox&#8217;s strategy games for half price. All the games currently listed in their webshop, but Victoria 2 and Majesty 2, require Steam.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s the space 4X games Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection (review <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/2011\/05\/sword-of-the-stars-complete-collection-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>) and Sword of the Stars 2: Enhanced Edition (review <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/2012\/12\/sword-of-the-stars-2-enhanced-edition-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>But, have a special look also at Europa Universalis 3: Chronicles, Crusader Kings 2 and Warlock: Master of the Arcane. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t have first hand info about these three, but they seem to be pretty good. Europa Universalis is Paradox&#8217;s flagship game and it&#8217;s all about empire building, while Crusader Kings 2 seems to focus a bit more on dynasty building. Warlock Master of the Arcane is a fantasy turn-based 4X game.<\/p>\n<p>Offering a game (Europa Universalis III: Chronicles)\u00a0to its community, with the possibility for re-giving it to a friend, is certainly a nice gesture worthy of applause. But, it&#8217;s also quite a clever move,\u00a0since after all Europa Universalis IV is to be released this year ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paradox Interactive offered the Europa Universalis III game to all the forum members.
