EU3 Pictures and Concept Art

I hope we still have the waving flag city graphic on the map. EU II is the only Paradox game that I actually play out on the terrain view. CK, Victoria, and HoI were political mapview only for me...

 

[KaiserChicken]

That was a problem - one of the few flaws I found in EUII was the fact that you could not play the game in the political map.

Great stuff.

We had that in eu1 and eu2 also you know

and yes its 3d, as its a competely new engine etc.

Is it really necessary for EU ?


The 3D wasn't a great success with Diplo.

It was only because EUII was young. All later Paradox titles incorporated the feature.

Diplomacy was not a real Paradox game.
Johan was not even the Lead Programmer on that project.

Yes, a nice change that was, the political map is fun to look at (when you're doing well anyway )

Well, everyone prefers better graphics, but really there are quite good looking maps anyway. And RTW look so unrealistic to me anyway, I can relate better to a map.

But since the thing is going 3D I settle for optimization and not a cartoonish-look

I'm just using it as an example. I think that having actual depictions of trees on the map or elevated terrain rather than green or tan provinces will help make the map seem more alive. The implimentation will certainly have a lot to do with how successful the move to 3D is but for now I'm optimistic.

 

[Petrarca]

Me neither.

It's always "No" with you.

Nah

 

[SykoNurse]

Most worried aboyut the graphics card, Geforce 2mx.
Well generals and zero hour run.. a little laggy sometimes, but that might be more about memory. (GLA 4ever)

And im told its barely enough for galciv2.
Imperial glory demo wouldnt run


so waiting.. and hoping

Geforce2 will NOT work. You need a graphics card manufactured this millenia

Well If it has requirementes higher than Rome: Total War has I will be suprised, I think that we don't have to worry about anything in this aspect if we can play RTW battles on middle settings and if Paradox won't use horrible graphic engine that giving less than battles in RTW will require more to run comfortable.

 

[unmerged(53986)]

..all this consumerism..
use and throw away.. products should be viable and working for several millennia, but no, lets just consume more of nature


Rome afaik was also a xp game, nothing for those with pre millennial OS either..

 

[M@ni@c]

Another game I can't play. My laptop doesn't have Transform & Lighting.

Too bad, my Geforce2 GTS was manufactured in 2000 AD
I'm damned for just one year !

Yeah, but you should get bonus points for realizing that 2001 was the start of the new millenium, not 2000.

 

[cool-toxic]

Damn i like the new GFX, the new units looks so nice, it will look really nice when looking at all those armies ingame
