Does anybody actually play these mini-games from Paradox studios?

Depends on the "mini" game. For the Glory was a huge commercial failure but Arsenal of Democracy and Darkest Hour sold well enough to warrant more games being developed by their creators. So the answer is: yes, some people buy them.

 

[Malakal]

Oh wait, its developed by Paradox themselves. Then even more yes, those games sell. Rome sold quite well as Johan himself said and it can be somewhat considered as a mini game. No idea about Crown of the North and Two Thrones.

Sengoku was very disappointing.

Sengoku was very disappointing.

Indeed it was. Not that I liked the concept of the game, not very interested in Japan honestly. But I like to think about it as a beta test for CK2. Worked very well for that.

Hmm, I will stick to EU3 here. I would rather try out Crown of Glory instead of this. It has hexbased battles incl. naval warfare and is turnbased.

 

[Father Walker]

Hearts of Iron Napoleonic Edition, huh? Not interested.

Rome wasn't a mini-game. Looking at its gameplay mechanics and features it was more of a mix between EU and CK. What surprised me is that it apparantly did sell quite well but never got a second expansion or a later patch. The game had it in it to be a gem but never quite got there with the patches and first expansion.

Anyway, this one does look like another expanded beta like Sengoku but then for EU4 instead of CKII. It is a very exciting period in history tho. We'll see what they'll do with it.

They asked on the forum which games they wanted an expansion for and Rome had the second least votes.

Shame. No surprise there though. Their forums are overrun with cretins.
