It's not a Paradox game, they're the publisher. Colossal Order is the developer.
It's a small developer out of Finland, 30-50 employees.

It has or will have twelve dozen DLCs or more, so it's a Paradox game.

I think that the Paradox model IS DLC. They definateley comprimise user experience through their money-grabbing, and this cash above quality bleeds through to the way their games are published. They blur the line between developer and publisher.

Svea Rike II was pretty bug free, but it was released quite some time ago...

I mean unrelated since Paradox is the publisher, but Gauntlet ran like greased lightning, Helldivers ran like greased lightning, Magicka 2 ran like greased lightning…
…of course those were all built on Dragonfly/Bitsquid instead of Unity so that might be a clue about where the issue lies.
I really wonder how they develop at that place. And what kind of QS they have.I think even applying a crude pareto would improve their games a lot.
