Default Paradox to work on Cold War game
So I've seen that some of you are Paradox fans, and played Paradox games...........well, they've started a new one based on a time period that completely shaped human history human history---------------the Cold War, a setting that does not appear as a whole in many settings aside from World in COnflict and COD: Black Ops. But now Paradox will take up the challenge to create a game spanning the Cold War from 1946-1991!

Announcement Here:

The game will be a Grand Strategy/Wargame set during the Cold War era - 1946-1991. The game is being developed by BL-Logic in close cooperation with Paradox Development Studio. We want to recreate the political and military tension between the Eastern Bloc and the West, since we at Paradox Development Studio have long felt that a Cold War era game is missing from our lineup. So when BL-Logic – the creators of Arsenal of Democracy – presented their game concept based on the Clausewitz engine, we felt that it was a perfect match.

As the 1950’s approach, the arms race intensifies and the world fears World War III as the US and USSR fight for global dominance. Guide your country through this dangerous historical era with all means direct and conventional, nuclear or indirect, via diplomacy, espionage and economy.

Yes, we are teasing you and not revealing much
The game is very early in development and we will tell you much more when we enter alpha later this fall! So be on the look out!
I have been waiting for this day for a while now. I knew they'd finally fill that last timeframe eventually. This pleases me. I can't wait to push that big red button!

So, what do you make of this announcement..........first game to completely cover the Cold War, what do you think of it?

So instead of seeing this as a continuation of an era of the 20th century that gave us so much debt and destruction and undermined our liberties and conditions today that are so dangerous, let us think that we are now moving into a new era, a new era where we are going to concentrate on liberty and freedom and property rights and peace. I believe that is the cause that we should lead and I thank you very much for being part of it.~Ron Paul

Why are they naming it "Project Reagan?" Dude almost caused a nuclear war.

Although I guess that makes it appropriate.

I'm not sure if I should go for the Inception joke or the Xzibit joke.

Maybe because he was an important figure of the Cold War?
