Collectors Edition confirmed for Europa Universalis III

[Gaute65]

Probably a very long, drawn-out version of the following:

- England is small, but can become a huge, maritime empire.

- France is the most powerful nation in Europe. Play as her if you want to annihilate everyone else with relative ease due to a big, fat treasury and buckets of manpower.

- Austria's monarchs tended to be inbred. As amusing as this may sound, they were quite successful. You can be, too.

- Don't spend all your money at once!

- Watch out for Spain, she has a lot of cash and even more troops.

- Sweden is the greatest nation on earth. For ease of use, until 01/01/08 all scenarios have been locked to simply allow play as Sweden or Lakota*


*sorry for any inconveniance

In other words, play Sweden?

Looks great, I'm really thinking of buying this.

I'll almost certainly be purchasing EUIII via GamersGate. I suppose this means that I'll be unable to avail of the CE goodies?

Was waiting for someone to find this on the website but I guess I'll just have to take matters in my own hand.

looks good. Two minor things though. The link at the bottom of this page is broken. The buttons still have a vermy small clickable area (not on the actual button) when using Opera.

Oh and a question. Does the map come with both versions aor just the CE?

Both versions, I believe.

If you read this page, it doesn't list the map as being part of the CE stuff (ie, the top list, as opposed to the bottom list).

Collectors Edition confirmed for Europa Universalis III

New York, USA (October 18, 2006) – Leading PC strategy publisher and developer Paradox Interactive announced today that their next big strategy release, “Europa Universalis III”, is to be released as a “Collectors Edition”. The collectible content will only be available in a limited print run.

“The ‛Europa Universalis’ series has a strong fan base across the world and they have been very vocal in requesting something special and unique for ‛Europa Universalis III’”, said Susana Meza, Director of Marketing and PR for Paradox Interactive. “I am particularly excited about being able to offer a complete strategy guide in the Collectors Edition, something that will add real value to existing fans but perhaps even more so to new gamers”.

The “Collectors Edition” will include several exclusive assets that cannot be obtained elsewhere:

· 100-page 4 color strategy guide
· A special Producer introduction to the game
· The official “Europa Universalis III” soundtrack
· Composers diary, complementing the soundtrack
· Exclusive download content, including special forum bonus content

In addition, players will also find:
· A 140-page 4 color manual
· Sizeable poster map including all provinces
· Collectible stickers

Can anyone answer to me if the Collectors Edition will be available in Brazil? Will the manuals, strategy guide and etc be in English or Portuguese?

Ah, thanks I hadn't see the web page yet.

 

[Kruz]

Will the strategy guide have a strategy guide for every playable nation at game start? Or just the big ones?

 

[InnocentIII]

Can't wait to pre-order.

Will there be a special Collector's Edition only pet that follows your best general around on the screen?

 

[unmerged(62543)]

Won't the manual/strategy guide be hopelessly outdated 2 weeks later when patch 1.01 arrives?

:rofl:

 

[JakopDalunde]

Hopefully they will have ability to do some more QA then usual, as it is they flagship product.

 

[JASGripen]

Still, what on earth is "Exclusive download content, including special forum bonus content"? I would rather know what I get in the sack, so to speak, even if I really will like the game no matter what.

 

[CatalanNation]

Oh no, as usual, I'll have to make camp in front of the store to be able to catch one...
