COOL IDEA :D
I second that

I have an idea for EU3 but I know most of you historical realists wouldn't like it...
EU3 could be a "far future" sort of thing where space faring empires collide. Instead of religion racial views and cultural views would be more important. And each technology would be more important. Also fleets would be more important because you would need to use them to drop troops onto enemy planets and orbital stations.


BTW There would be some contestants against Rome ie Guptas, Greeks, Syrians, Parthians, Armenia and Carthage

I also think that Paradox shouldn't make a futuristic game. If they do, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaase don't put the EU name on it.

As for the time frame, I wouldnt like a Roman era game too much. Maybe start at the same time (1419), but end it, oohh..., around 2001!

IMHO EU3 only has a couple options:

1) Extend the game back, to say 1066, or 1092.

2) Extend the game forward to 1914 or 1918.

3) Compromise between 1 & 2

4) Make the game so that its based on 1492 - 1792, but has the ability to edit map, graphics, everything, so we could use the engine for whatever period we feel like.

I think 1355 - 1855 would be good dates for EUIII. Golden Bull of Charles IV to Revolutions of 1848.

I think the game could end at 1918, because that was quite the end of imperialism in its classic form. Look at Imperialism (the game) for example, it has many features that you can find in EU, so I think with a longer tech tree an a possibility to model the social and political changes in the 19th century, it could be fun to play until that time. But the game would need more difficulty/balancing, because you can be the most powerful nation by far at the end of EU I, so it would be boring to play 100+ years more.

Whoever said it, not 1355... 1302 at least HAS to be included. Battle of the Golden Spurs, Flemish history... It would be a cool period in Scotland as well with William Wallace around :D

I'll second that idea! Earlier is easier to program than farther forward anyways.
