Nope, no news about that quite yet.Does anybody know release date of this game???? Looks sooo fantastic, will be able to play EU4 with friends and kill them
Will the game be localized for countries like the Czech Republic? I'd like to buy it when it comes out so that i can maybe play with family and friends.
Will we be able to play minor nations? As i would realy like to play as switzerland or venice and expand influence economicaly trough trade and stuff like that. I'm also hoping trade will be a major part of this board game?
We will very soon give more detailed information about the Kickstarter campaign.
All three, actually.
Thanks, Johan! Soon!

We will have scenarios specifically designed for playing as minors. Trade is certainly a part of the game, and makes it possible to be a big economic power without necessarily being a big territorial or military power.
Alright! can't wait to try out the game! If i get my friends to play I'll get a scenario that let's me play as almighty switzerland!
Looking great, but im a bit perplexed as to why you need kickstarter campaigns for the boardgames. It's not like Paradox have problems financing your own development right? Am I missing something here?
It's hard to predict how many people will buy the board game, and it's unlikely that it will sell well 5-10 years after its release like for example Settlers of Catan or the top board games on the BGG rankings. So I think it is mainly ambiguity aversion and/or risk aversion.
Do you get any kind of discount or something in that case? Seems weird to me to finance a rich companies development if they keep all the profits. If it's a way to check the interest it would be different ofc.
First of all, Paradox is not financing the development. The game is developed by Aegir Games on a license from Paradox.
Yes, crowdfunding done the right way is really a win-win situation for everyone involved. Gamers get games at a discounted price compared to the retail price, and they get an opportunity to be involved during the development process. Developers get invaluable information about the interest for the game, and a unique chance to benefit from community feedback.
