There's something wrong with Bismarcks right index finger... some kind of overextension from planting flower bulbs perhaps.

Hopefully this will be like ETW and there will be localized boxart. Still to come, the Commonwealth version where Victoria desperately loads cannister against a wall of Hungarians, the Italian, where Garibaldi charges, lance at the ready, into battle against the Swedes, and the French, featuring Louis Napoléon dueling a samurai.
Uhhhh, so the name is Victoria II, but the guy of the front is Otto von Bismarck?
Shouldnt the name be Bismarck I then? :rofl:

Shun the non-believer!
SHUN!
Cover art should grab the attention of people walking past it, and unfortunately the scenario you describe would not accomplish that. The U.S. is always a sure attention getter, and Bismark is also well known, so from a marketing standpoint I'd say it was a good decision.
From a historical standpoint it's not that bad either. Bismark was (obviously) a huge figure in this time period, and the 19th century saw the U.S. expand, fall into civil war, expand more and eventually come into own with the victory in the Spanish American war of 1898.

Bismark One, Hood Zero
The American flag there was the one used after Arizona became a state in 1914; 48 state flag for you non-americans
Really. Tired. Of. US. Being. On. Every. Sodding. Box. Art.
I'm not trying to troll you or anything, but even with the recession, the US is the most economically powerful nation in the world and has lots of money to spend. Doesn't it make sense that they'd try and put something on the box that would appeal to Americans?
No, not in my mind. Let's put a Chinese flag, so the Chinese will buy it. And some French symbol, so they want to buy it too.
The Chinese don't have the money to buy a lot of games. (Plus, their government doesn't have a problem with them stealing it anyway.) Beyond that, look at the newest developer diary. Tibet is independent, so it'll be banned in China anyway.

I agree, there should be Queen Victoria in hand to hand fight with Bismarck.
Clearly we should be thanking Bismarck and the Prussian Army for attempting to drive the Americans out of our boxart then...
We are not amused
Well I never
You're no fun anymore
Jolly good

Just some examples of my personal favourite english phrases. Any one of them would significantly increase appeal of the box
