You get the hint.

Victoria is sure a name that wont sell but it's a beautiful name

 

[RELee]

What, something like this would perhaps sell better?

I vote for your box art. Three times!

You made Red smile.

I just hope PI has learned something from Vicky1. A game called Victoria with a fat, old lady on the cover sells BADLY.

I agree. I think something like Place in the Sun would be good since it refers German colonial empire and the competition to gain colonies.

Maybe they should hire the Victoria's Secret girls for the cover? That WOULD sell :rofl:

 

[ComradeOm]

What about the charging soldier from Ricky?

That would actually make a great cover for this game. And EU: Revolutions would work well as a title

Can't see what's wrong with Victoria. The game is about the Victorian era...

I think the name isn't really an issue - anyone who'd pass up a game because it, eeewww, has a gurl name and thus threatens his masculinity or something is probably not going to want to buy it anyway.

I don't know, but my experience from the posts in HoI 3 forum before and after release, there are people who are intimidated by the kiddie/girly colours of HoI/HoI 2. So perhaps it is true, that these kind of things could be issues to people with related inner conflicts. After all, gamers tend to prefer war weary men in battle stance in various shades of gray, not girls - especially fat ugly slob ones. So maybe it's more peer pressure thing with not being cool by having pictures of that old eagle Victoria -- Something about having a pic or name of opposite sex in a game is an indication of what kind of people one is attracted? What, you like grannies?!

For now all we can do is await what Paradox might do with the cover are.

All else is just idle speculation, perhaps better integrated into the Vicky 2 wishlist megathread.
