Characteristics of Paradox Games


Each game is marked by a use of standard real-time elements but with an ability to make any and all changes while paused providing realism while remaining true to the traditional format of strategy games. The games also demonstrate a commitment to historical accuracy which results in a highly detailed playing experience.

Paradox often adds numerous new features through Patches — which helps mitigate the bugs in some early releases. The additions sometimes include significant upgrades to game AI.

There is also an active Modding community for each game, based on the official Paradox forums. Many of theses mods are a simple restructuring of the text files in which each game stores its data while others are much more complex.
