OK. Europa Universalis: Crown of the North arrived this morning. I have uninstalled my 1.07 beta, and reinstalled from the COTN disk. The version now says simply '1.07'. What I am not finding are the additional scenarios described in the readme file: Vinland, Independent Europe, etc...
Next question: Is 1.07 compatible with versions now popular on Valkrienet? Are there patches required beyond the out-of-box 1.07?
Finally: Is there any interface between COTN and EU? The span of years for COTN does not end with 1419. Are there mods which lengthen COTN, or which start EU2 sooner?
My observation is that Crown of the North and Two Thrones seem to be basically the same engine, and very separate from EU2 in design. I hope everyone buys them regardless: so that our friends in Stockholm can put another log on the fire for CK development and further products.
