Oh ok! Interesting!
Will we know when you definitely choose whether to make or not another eu3 expansion?
Timeline is ok as it is. Actually I don't play from 1399. As it has said above, I think it would be a great idea the rise of Austria as main thematic.
And about game mechanics, I'd like something done about economics, making them deeper. It's time of the beginning of companies of trade (colonies and proto-markets in America and Asia...) and it could be nice to see the development of "global traders" (Spain, United Kingdom, Netherlands...) vs "huge local producers" (France, Russia...); and the different results of "public" economies (depending more in nobility, like Spanish viceroys and latifundists, or in State, like enlighted France) vs "market" economies (England or Netherlands...).
Economical basis should have different consequences on societal and political issues (remember, why industrialization began in England and Netherlands...). Taking into account even Max Weber ideas about the influence of Reform (religious and cultural issues in fact) in the "spirit" of capitalism.
It could be a good idea... or it's just too hot in Spain

Yes I want more EU3 (he says on page 37 of the thread). But to be completely honest I don't play "vanilla" EU. I like the way that both INN and NA expanded the options for modding. I hope this non-expansion/non-game expands the opportunities for modding. The game is almost semi-open sourced.
I would not focus on the parts of the game we can mod and change. Focus on what is hardcoded and possibly allow that to be modified as well.

Yea, it took me six months to finish my last multiplayer grand campaign and thats with me playing several hours every night (we're very thorough). The timeline is long enough.
Yes, me too. I never thought a fellow swede could let me down like this!
I just saw Johans' response that he is not to keen on expanding timelines; but I would like to see an EU3 that stretches from about 500BC to 2050. Imagine how all-encompasing and awesome that would be with historical figures and events mixed in with the random possibilities.
Which means that it will expand an already existing game.
Now CK and Vicky are old, and probably need an overhaul, so it would be "another game".
I bet Rome, there were some thought on the Rome forum about an expansion.

I'm 99% sure he just means that the choice isn't between an expansion or a game, but whether we want an expansion at all. It has been stated several times that new games are independant and irrelevent to the expansion.
Plus, he emphasized the "OR", so I think Paradox is doing both.
i really have to wonder how hard it is for people to get the [stated] concept:
there are people who make new games.
there are, additionally, Different people who make expansions.
one does not preclude/hinder the other.
what's so hard to understand about this?
it really puzzles me.
i'll admit, at this point, most people probably just aren't reading the majority of the the thread anymore.

Apparently, what's so hard to understand is that man-hours is not the only resource required to make a game, expansion, or patch. While having a group of people working on a new game does not preclude a group of people working on an expansion in the sense of "having people work on a new game prevents those people from working on an expansion", financial considerations can hypothetically limit the options to one or the other. We don't know exactly what the financial situation is, of course, but it is not unreasonable or thick for a fan to, as a result, prefer / prioritize one over the other.
Cheers.
Then I am definitely interested too. I expected you would expand timelines. Serves me right for having the attention span and reading ability of a squirrel on meth.
timelines
well, Johan has already said he is not to keen on expanding tmelines, so I'm probably s.o.l., but just in case, I'd like to mention that I would really like the idea of a minor extension of the timeline to 1836, just to bring it up to Vicky's timeline. I don't think going back any further will be useful though.

YES! I haven't played EU3 in several months. a new expansion pack would make me interested in the game again.
