Political and geographical history is interesting and all but battle tactics are also very interesting. Different nations using different tactics based on geography, resources and sometimes even politics.

My main problem with paradox is them and DLC's. Oh my God man. The whole reason I don't have the full game is because I'm not spending 200 on DLC's. And they just keep coming out with more. I don't usually play the older games, I have a seizure looking at bad graphics.

It's both, regardless of what the contents are if you have posted two messages back to back without someone's post in the middle, it is double posting.
