Are we going to have a completely brand new engine or EUIII style re-used engine?

As far as I can see in HoI3 demo Paradox is mainly re-using, re-improved, and re-modified Europa Universalis III engine. The mechanism on how to choose a country in the first start, the decision mechanism, even how the battle is pictured. The battle screen is on left-bottom-side of the window which is the same as EU3 family. Well, I only play demo and not the full game so I might not see other things but overall I can really feel EU3 inside HoI3.

Now, will this same of thing happen with Vicky 2 or we're going to have a completely brand new engine for Vicky 2? In my most humblest opinion, I still think Vicky and HoI2 looks is better than EU3 feeling of engine.

What do you think fellow Paradoxians?

I believe that the odds of a completely brand new engine are pretty low, but that is just my opinion.
