No surpise here I guess, all paradox games resolve around world conquest, but this does not work for a cold war game. Imagine playing a game Hoi3 style with numerous divisions and 100's of provinces and not having to use them unless you want to fool around starting WW3.

Yeah, I'd rather have it be in the vein of Crusader Kings 2. Not the dynasties part, naturally (with some exceptions maybe, like North Korea ), but the intrigue and the plotting.
From what I can gather this is another crappy handled game communication wise. So much back and forth and promises. I like to think paradox is asum and different, yeah no.
