> guy gets banned from PDX discord server > appeals ban > mod (unaffiliated with paradox) says ok, but your profile picture of Ataturk breaks our rule because he’s a controversial political figure (claimed he was a part of Armenian genocide). Fix that and we’ll let you back in > guy throws ♥♥♥♥ fit, claims he’s been banned because of his picture of Ataturk, denies Armenian genocide > that narrative spreads like wildfire amongst Turkish nationalists > Turk nationalists review bomb every paradox game because of this > company has to address and make rule changes because one mod had a bad take and pissed off a bunch of the worlds most insufferable people 82
A really fantastic, excellent 4X fantasy game, that is however completely overshadowed by its yet even more fantastic successor, Age of Wonders 4. So there is really no reason to play this one over AoW4 unless you have a bad computer or just really want to experience the story campaign.
