AARbitrary stuff EUII

[das]

I have suggestions

How about England log AAR, with making alternative from history choices in all the multi-choice historicall events?
Or Moscowey AAR?
Or Aragon?
Or Papal States?

 

[Lord Prime]

Any new AAR would be fine.

Aquitania

I can't figure out wether Aquitania starts out aligned with the french or the english. Maybe one of you betazoids can end my confusion as long as it don't break the NDA. PLZ!!

 

[Andy. HRE]

Ain't no Aquitainia any more.

In the GC, England strictly owns its French posessions, including Gascogne and Poitou, while France begins with Guyenne.

 

[Vulture]

Yup it was changed... Aquitania was in the original beta, allied with England and as a vassal.

 

[Havard]

Can someone move this thread to the GD forum?

Sorry about that. Relized I should have put it in the GC forum as soon as I hit the submit button.

That is good news..............

That removes one of my principle beefs regarding the portrayal of France in EU2, although I guess that means there's still a couple left...........

Really? You didn't like it? I thought it was kinda neat... but I bet it was too hard for the AI to consistently get everything united...

I felt it was very ahistorical, and that Paradox were misinterpreting and overrepresenting the nature of the disunity of the period in France-Aquitania was just the worst example. Not the only example, though.

 

[State Machine]

This was changed almost immediately in the beta. Andy, HRE and others I think, demonstrated that there was no independent Aquitania.

EU goes Gold...

...so there is no reason to keep NDA in place. We know pretty much every single feature, at least those we can see directly from screens. Also, we pretty much know what the map looks like. If Paradox is not lifting NDA even when game is ready to be packaged and shipped, it means everyone of us will have to sign NDA when buying the game .

 

[BiB]

There's still reasons why the NDA still holds for soem parts. For example we don't have the new interfact so screns by betatesters would not be representative of the game.

I got original a idea!
Viva la... No! Not the France! Viva la Hands off AAR!

Alex, it doesn't really matter what you think, this is the way it is.

Bastage sons of female doges!

 

[Alexander Seil]

Then Paradox could at least post some DECENT screens, sigh.

 

[unmerged(3388)]

So if Beta testers can't post screen shots why allow the press who are given Beta versions to do so???.

A conflict of policies here (bit like the US and the Middle East)

Hipocrisy of Paradox...Beta-testers of the World, throw off your chains and rise against Paradoxal opressors

icecool, the way I see it there is a difference between us betazoids and pressppl like gamespot and ign.
