pretty sure making a blizzard quality intro costs many times more than our entire development budget, so its not likely. I kinda liked the Victoria 2 one though as it set "the ambiance" a bit.

The intros to both V1 and 2 are really cool, but you will never watch them more than 2 or 3 times at most.
Same here, I'd much more prefer a game trailer on youtube, or a dev diary or something. Intro videos are annoying and take away precious seconds of my playing time, even if I can escape out of them
What I really miss (and it is hardly expensive) are the country-specific descriptions in the scenario menu. Paradox seems to have abandoned then when they moved on to the clausewitz engine.
or the Victoria end screen, with the different leader pictures, instead of just the flags weve got today
As a related thing: why does the V-2 end-game screen not have any music like EU3 does? It's just deathly quiet, as if a V-2 rocket has just struck down somewhere...
thats a pretty looking tank those Austrian-Hungarians designed, seems like it would be useful for trenches, but not so much in the Swiss Alps.... lol
Just in case not everybody got the message, I will try a translation:
"Help! We don´t have money, in fact we do not even know how money looks like, we are dirt poor and have to feed 27 children. PLEASE show mercy, buy more Paradox games from the World Market so that we at least partially can fulfill our life needs!"
EU 2 Intoductory cinematic costed that much? I would love to see it again as it is ... but taking advatage of the modern Graphics card capabilites... Can you have something like that in EU 4?
I would more like to see a game and a game-worth of polishing instead of a game and intro
I prefer to see it like we are artisans who have not promoted and are not quite interested to work in a factory yet
Personally, I don't miss intro movies, cinematics and so on at all. They can be awesome the first time you see them, but nothing more. Spending every avaible penny of the budget in development and playable features returns a much higher yeld for us gamers, imho.
If Gordon Gekko was a grand strategy games player, I bet that he would say: "It's all about content. The rest is conversation."
Off topic post scriptum: I'd love a Capitalism-style Paradox game!

I dont mean expencive.. .but inspiring....
The EU 2 into video was exelent. Inspiring and I guess not that much expencive.... It is half truth that you watch the videos only once and feel astonished....
I always watch an intro video when I start playing a new game in an old title... It has been some time since I last played HoI 2 for example...I will watch the videos before I start a new game...
Same is true for EU 3 ..... I was the EU 2 introductory video before I launch a new game in EU 3...

How about a background depicting Polish troops raising a Polish flag anywhere in Warsaw?
I would really fancy possibility to add certain nationality to accepted culture as the game goes on. Say, you start as relatively small country, then you conquer your neighbours to form an empire, but province that has 100% different nationality will never assimilate, but if you have full citizenship and treat all new citizens properly, you should be able to eventually add certain nationality to accepted cultures after some time or if average happiness/needs are met.
Would be awesome to hear a word about it from devs, would make playing tiny countries even more fun. ^_^

You completely misunderstood my post, didn't you?
First, I'm not french and second it's been a joke and was meant to make fun of my own country and not china.
What about a Polish flag in Berlin?
