with paradox Multiplayer there would probably come a 20 dollar dls for Multiplayer  

Well no, they would add it. But it'd cause the game to desync every couple of years.
Lukasz shouldn't go to paraslop to make multiplayer, paraslop can barely make multiplayer work on vic3 and ck3, let alone making multiplayer work on an engine they don't use (java).

If Lukasz wants advice on multiplayer related stuff with java, he should probably go to the people who develop Airships conquer the skies.

I wouldn't recommend paradox interactive, they're known for ruining franchises by greed. Although it'd definitely get the game out there, it'd be a massive gamble on if they force you to pump out 40 DLCs or not.

I'd recommend contacting 'Aquila Interactive', you can find them on discord through their current game project 'Gilded Destiny'

Aquila interactive could 100% get sponsors for AOH3 if they're interested.

Looking at this objectively. Maybe yes BUT this seems more weirdly a scam. 

Pro is that you get money and stuff that you usually don't have access to. And not like they can force you to make DLCs since mobile and why? HOI4 already makes 10 morbillion from their DLCs aswell as other IPs under their belt. This seems more like a way to extend their influence on the historical tactical strategic RTS genre or something (I do not know what specific genre HOI4 or Victoria 2 are.) Than anything making more money. They'll make more but not their main players. Other than that, you may lose autonomy on your own project so it's best if you ask if you if your development on the project will be intervened on or not.

But this email is just, odd. It gives off a really fishy vibe. So do what you need to do first on checking if this is more of a hook scam.

-Like check the email and if this is the original business email used by Paradox themselves.

-Converse more to see if this person is an actual employee of Paradox interactive. Even look him up and see if he is actually working for Paradox

-Read between the lines for any errors or slip-ups the writer had made.

-And check for any more drills use for scam emails.

Most importantly is be ready if this man is here only to leak the game, reuse the game for his own motives, or something else. Also don't forget that he could give you a trojan in a blink of an eye like a RAT (Remote Access Trojan) or something else worst. Always prepare for the worst. Of course I'm just a kid on your forum but being paranoid is better than being oblivious.

@Łukasz Jakowski, sorry for the ping. Just concerned.

Yes 100% I would accept it would allow the adding of lots of features that can't be added by 1 prsn only

[xox 179]

Wouldn't mind the dlcs tbh

[Shiite 2,396]

I don't think it's a good idea. AoC thrives from being a small indie title, thus all of the interactions with the community. Going mainstream would take away so much of the charm, not even considering what draconian dlc policies they might try to enforce

Incorrect. Paradox employees use @paradoxplaza, not @paradoxinteractive.

Paradox Interactive is generally not forced to make DLCs for games that are developed by 3rd-party developers. Darkest Hour, Arsenal of Democracy, March of the Eagles, unreleased East vs. West - DLC is missing from the distribution models of these grand strategies (published but not developed by Paradox), although they were released/developed after EU3 (when Paradox first introduced the modern distribution model with a lot of DLCs). Paradox uses this model only for internal studios' projects (Paradox Game Studios, Tinto, etc.)

It really looks like this. Just a lie to take the pre-release game build

In addition, a junior employee of one of the Paradox's studios (i.e. responsible specifically for their own games' development), as indicated by the title of the position which he introduced himself as, does't have the authority to make such proposals on behalf of the company (this is done by the publishing department, that is, Paradox Interactive itself)

Bem, não, eles iriam adicioná-lo. Mas isso faria com que o jogo fosse dessincronizado a cada dois anos.
Lukasz não deveria se esforçar para fazer o multiplayer, o paraslop mal consegue fazer o multiplayer funcionar no vic3 e no ck3, muito menos fazer o multiplayer funcionar em um motor que eles não usam (java).

Se Lukasz quiser conselhos sobre assuntos relacionados ao multiplayer com java, ele provavelmente deveria procurar as pessoas que desenvolvem dirigíveis conquistando os céus.

but AoH3 is not with c++?

Me when I'm in a DLC for functions that should be in the base game competition and my opponent is paradox:

[Noobs Dudes 180]

But fr tho, the game is indie, and would lose it's charm if it was published by Paradox. Plus, we don't really need DLC for this game. (Plus, it's probably a fake email if it wasn't from a paradox executive or something)

[Reza Shah 386]

No, Let's end Paradox monopoly over strategic games with Aoh3!

Sure, it's java-based (and new moddable files are JS-based)

Even if they didnt use this paradox still owns the domain paradoxinteractive.com so it would be hard for someone to take it and use it (btw they use this one for press assets too pr@paradoxinteractive.com so it might be them) however the wording of the email is very weird

Maybe someone who works and paradox is using it (without permision of the higher ups) with the Intend to leak it for some reason?

[Big Floppa 0]

Maybe? I'm actually not really sure...

It could be both good (the game will be more famous) and bad for the game (the game will probably cost more money than what you initially wanted it to cost, and there will be many overpriced DLC's).

You know, I saw you post this question also on your YouTube Community page, and people there are really supportive of Paradox being the publisher of your game, while people here mostly disagree with Paradox being the publisher of the game.

But at the end, you are the one deciding.

yeah, AOH3 doesn't use C++, it runs off of java just like it's predecessor.
