I'm sensing a release date tomorrow, why else would a Paradox teaser be the day before wednesday ... clearly they mistimed the preview for Wednesday and were forced to preview it early :eek:o

You can always hope :)

See! You all thought I was crazy! You should all bow before my Paradox wisdom :eek:o

Whens V1.4 coming out? ;)
 
wow, there are a lot of changes. Hopefully I will soon be able to embrace Rome, after several more changes.

Btw, why is this thread so empty :eek:. Rather unusual for a paradox title patch to be unresponded by hordes of followers.

It is early afternoon and because the thread has only been open little more than a hour?

Thank you Paradox! Now i gotta decide which country to play. :wacko:

I think people want to test it out before commenting too much, but I think it looks promising. I want to go home......
 
Thanks Johan and the Paradox team!! As the era covered in this game happens to be my all time favorite from a history perspective. You have no idea how much i want to fall in love with this game the way i have with In Nomine. Which is why i look forward to these patches and dare i say, an expansion or two. Thanks again.

Dont worry, we still think you are crazy! ;)

Phewie - Love the added intrigue elements and the interface changes!

Thanks for all the hardwork, Team Paradox!
 
Looks good, very good! Now the question is: do I end my game with Atrebates or do I jump on that patch right away???

That was an understatement :eek:.

Great patch by the way. Thanks to Johan & co.!

I think the Project Mayhem forum has distracted some attention; it did so for me! These changes look cool.
