If you're unfamiliar with Paradox generally, they make grand strategy games.
We will be playing with that and one other thing. So far, there has been one expansion, A House Divided, which focuses on the American Civil War, in addition to fixing a lot of things that were not great about the game on release. During that time, we'll be researching technologies, building factories, going to war, influencing rivals, and dealing with a billion random events! We may also colonize Africa and/or southwest Asia, southeast Asia, and the Pacific. The game uses the crowning of Queen Victoria and the first moves towards WW2 as its bookends and lasts from 1836 - 1936. Both games are about the age of European imperialism and industrialization. Victoria II is, shockingly, the sequel to Victoria. CK2/EU3 are a bit too easy to blob, and I've been playing this lately, so I thought I'd give it a try. I've been thinking about doing another Paradox game though.
I've done some stuff with CK/CK2 as multiplayer succession game madness, but not a solo LP. Hey all, it's been a while since I did one of these solo.
