I started with HOI4, so I guess I can't give my opinion.

I did try out EU4, but ended up buying EU3 because I didn't want to blow money continuously for DLCs or otherwise my game locks itself up so that if I don't spend more money, it becomes unplayable via features becoming more restricted.
EU3 is complete and never will need more DLCs beyond the one that's Divine Wind. So in my view, it's a more worthwhile buy. (The 75% sale didn't hurt either... so I actually got everything for only $7.99, the best 8 dollars I ever spent!)
Sorry, Paradox Interactive Studios... I am not convinced that I should spend $99 dollars for a temporary usage until I have to spend like $12-20 again every 6 months, again and again.

And in random news today, this guy (yeah me) finds himself cleaning a blade of an electric ceiling fan because that damn thing isn't working and the blades haven't been properly cleaned in forever.
Boy was that random!

Paradox has never deleted content from a game, the DLC has only ever added to the base game. Don't not buy a game because you don't like the DLC that makes no sense at all.

That, and the price increases in non-US nations.

HOT4 is new since the offensive is new to me. I enjoy playing it but it's so hard. WW1 is fun

The Spanish Inquisition, We had a couple posts lately. Anyways that was the original goal and I intended of doing something similar but there are some issues at hand, namely a labelling system. So it's on hold for now. Caesar, possibly. The EW5 board has ok traffic but it's still a borderline case.

Paradox has never deleted content from a game, the DLC has only ever added to the base game. Don't not buy a game because you don't like the DLC that makes no sense at all. NetherFreek and Quintus Fabius agrees with me. You have to realize that each time a DLC is released, a free "update" also accompanies that DLC, but goes into your game regardless of whether you brought the DLC or not. Let me demostrate with a crude, crappy example but it should illustrate what I mean: You have a game that contains five features: abcde. The studios releases a DLC about the feature a, you decide to wait and so you didn't buy it yet. Your friend did. Your friend got his feature a improved to A. However, your feature a isn't available anymore because of a certain free "update" took away all of the old version of the feature a. All of it. And the feature A is locked away unless you brought the DLC#1. His game: Abcde Your game: bcde Now... wait about 6 months to 1 year... DLC#2 is released! It is about improving the feature c to C. Your friend as usual throws up money for it while you're satisfied with the base game. But wait... there is more! A free "update" is loaded to all games, taking away the old c, and leaves behind a feature C that remains locked unless you buy DLC#2. But you can't buy DLC#2 without also buying DLC#1 too (this part isn't a paradox-only problem because it's perfectly normal in other studios too btw). Your friend's game: AbCde Your own game after two free updates: bde. Are you happy with your base game while you see your friend enjoying the full-fledged game? Wait... you don't even have the base game anymore! What you have there on your computer is a half-baked cripple. A third DLC comes out, and you give up and buy that one along with the previous two and by the mercy of Paradox Interactive Studios, the previous two DLCs were going on a special discount, praise Allah! Praise Buddha! -Whatever you want- But the fourth DLC is going to cost you just much as your friend pays for, unless you're willing to put up with no feature d or D for an entire 6 months-1 year, waiting for a fifth DLC release then you'll buy the DLC#5 while buying DLC#4 at a special discount. Yay! Yuo is haz game with ABCDE just like yuor freind. But wait... DLC#6 is coming up.... The games that Paradox Interactive makes... I'm pretty sure that those games aren't limited to five features, so if you're playing EU4, you will have to naturally put up with such DLCs until they someday decided to make EU5 instead. So far... they already have a dozen DLCs milking the cash cow called EU4, a new one pops up almost regularly, and I think Johann is going to keep it up for yet another couple of years. V2, HOI4, EU4, and CK2 are all integrated with their saves system. You noticed how many each one of them has DLCs in comparison to their predecessors, so many, how many more? I think Johann and his Paradox Interactive team has struck gold on how to milk their franchises deeper.

I might have thought it was because this was the very end of the war in the west. Germany never had a better ratio than 3 on 1 during this battle, and in some parts it might have been much worse. Of course, Soviet always outnumbered Germany...
