I played it when it was on Greenlight, it was pretty fun, but I couldn't get multiplayer working.

If some soul buys a 4-pack, that'd be awesome if that person gifted me one. This game is fantastic.

Ohh my and it wasn't made by Paradox! Bonus!

don't get me wrong. Paradox does some nice work and they have a lot of variety. Just that I don't trust their "money loving" with cheaper titles...

Paradox Development Studio doesn't make anything but the grand strategies, the cheaper indie titles are only published, not made by them.

I know, but they do the standard Paradox things.

Which makes me wonder if it is a requirement by Paradox to use microtransactions no matter how insignificant and rip-offy or if it is just a coincidence.

Just got this game yesterday and played it with two friends, was a blast.

Also, this game has old CRT tv emulation/rendering in its graphical options, which is an awesome touch to make it look even more retro.
