The engine behind Paradox Development Studio’s future games

Since Europa Universalis III, Paradox Development Studio’s grand strategy games have owed a debt to Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz, or at least his name. The Clausewitz engine has powered every internal Paradox Interactive game since 2007, but starting with upcoming grand strategy game Imperator: Rome, it’s getting a pretty significant upgrade. Yes, it’s also named after a Napoleonic era general: Antoine-Henri Jomini.

“Naming is the hardest thing in software,” jokes engine team lead John Wordsworth.
