I can't speak for Gurag, but for my part, I did not mean to imply that I thought there would be a national history in EU:R. I was simply trying to say that I hope the character history in EU:R is done better than the national history of EU III.Wretched Gnu said:

They are all saved, even for dead characters.
It keeps track of all events happening to them, all battles, appointments and when they get/lose friends and rivals. (could be some more things too, but at home atm, so cant remember)

this sounds great, i hope in all these details the marriages were not forgottenBalor said:

Very good. But there might be one problem. It seems to be a lot to write to a file. Does this mean that it is very possible near the end of the game, that we will have to wait some time for it to load, as in Eu3.Balor said:
Excellent point! Crusader Kings tended to suffer near the end of the game because it had so many dead characters it needed to load that the savefile would reach massive sizes. Saving characters along with thier histiories in EU:R may cuase the same thing to happen again.
Great. I'm glad to hear. Does it save the data in different files other then the save game file and more importantly are the histories exportable with images?Balor said:

That doesn't happen anymore; the game purges dead characters monthly ('tho it should be yearly).
But with Rome -- what if you just had accessible histories (in-game) only of the characters the player is likely to care about -- and/or, if you want to archive more extensively, just have the program fetch the data from a file on the hard drive, but only when the player asks for it? Sure it would cause the game to pause for a couple of seconds, but the number of times you would actually want to peruse a character history would be quite small, presumably, so you wouldn't mind that very occasional pause.
But I'm no programmer ... is there a reason this wouldn't work?
In any case, if it's not feasible to have access to extensive histories in-game, I'd be happy if such histories were just collected in a text file on my hard drive. Nobody would care how large a mere text file would be (unless you're somehow running a machine with a 1 gig hard disk). I would love it, in fact, if they'd do this for CK and EU...
Having said that, I realize the big challenge for a continually-updated archive is designing it in such a way that it can be readable, as opposed to just a pile of events. What would be nice is if the program compiled a readable history whenever you quit or loaded a new save (and merged it with the last compilation). I realize this would take some doing, but it would be nirvana...

I love it^^
The EUIII end overview was pretty bugged, and I hope this will be certainly better. It'd be just great to watch back at hundreds of years of history and flash back to those battles... Or something like that

Indeed that is really great !! That is an important point, not important for the game, but important for the way you will feel to be implicated into the game
