I just wanted to convey my wishes/ideas for the next gameengine/games by paradox.
Since Hoi3 already very demanding and had to be "dumbed down" in the beginning, because it wasn't running very smoothly and often still isn't in the later years, I think the next engine needs to make use of as much available resources as possible and the minimum requirements need to be higher than many will probably like.
Few things that in my opinion should be the minimum requirement:
- 64-bit OS
- quadcore CPU, preferably above 3 GHz
- 4 Gb RAM
- DX10 Graphic card (even if not initially, it could later be used to use the computing power of the gpu for things besides graphics)
Besides that I think it would be great, if events could also come with video. So the possiblity to use videos ingame would be amazing, even if paradox itself wouldn't make use of the future, mod teams could use it to add a little extra.
Just my thoughts.
