Ah, thanks a lot.
Good that they share the development with us inside the forum. I wish (as I already said) they would take down the alpha screens from the main site, too. They won't work on outsiders anyway.

The new screenie looks awesome
The flags and CoA's looks nice to.
And the water level getting a little bit higher is really looking cool

 

[Txini]

What's wrong with the flags and coat of arms?!?!?

And why does everybody's nitpicking about the screenies? Stop your whining, the game isn't finished yet...

The only problem I have with flags is that they are CoA Flags and not Statal Flags, that would be more correct for some nations, other used all times the Dynastic Flag, like Este(Modena)

This looks better, but only couse of the flatland there (still I hope no floating castles in mountains) and couse of drawings in the court (but that isn't 3D)
I really think smaller flags would be better on those citys/castles...I can't get out of my head if those flags break, they crash on the city and anyone dies...

Maybe a bit bigger cities and a bit smaller flags to meet eachother in size in the middle.

I don't see any significant improvement in the new screen, the view is obviously more tilted than the others and they added some shallow water (or depiction of landrise) around the coasts.
Obviously the trees and flags and cities will all improve in time, but I can't really see the benefits of 3d in a strategic game like this, nor do I think it looks better. Still hoping for a 2d alternative.

I think it begin to look better, even if they have to fix the forests.

Jorian, could you please not link to the forum? Load it up on imageshack and show it from there or something plz!

[nitpickery]The attenuated terrain looks better, but I can't help saying that the land shouldn't drop that steeply into the abyss. It would look much better if the continental shelf was included. A less swiming-pooly water colour wouldn't hurt either. The ginormous trees and flags look a bit strange, too. [/nitpickery]

And I can't help agreeing with whoever said there should be more detail in the terrain. Mountains that look like mountains, not huge rolling hills.

And those ribbons in the interface look like they were taken straight out of Imperialism II. o

 

[Skarion]

I like the flags and the mountains (Even if the flags may look a little too big in the locked in mode).

Please do not upload Paradox images here because it destroys their bandwidth and server.

 

[String]

Eww..

Why do people insist on 3d when there is no need for it.

A nice historic map feel 2d style would be much much better for this game.

Or atleast, make the 3d real good then, currently it looks awful

First, I would like to express my deepest admiration for Johan & Paradox, for being so fan-focused, and for taking our reamrks into consideration, this is what gaming should be all about, I'm happy :rofl: .

The new screenie looks much better, I think that this "flatter" 3D is definitelly an improvement. But I still think that forest should be represented by colour, and that the only dominant symbol on the map should be cities and nation flags. Also, why not make borders between countries red instead of brown?

I don't know if it would be possible to implement this becouse of the 3D, and maybe going slightly OT, but I believe that different map modes should be represented in EU3, besides the geographical and political one, I would really like to see the base value one, like in CK, possibly a manpower one, and if the engine is worked out, why not make map modes for all the relevant categories, it's just a question of assigning colours.

And once again, long live Paradox!

 

[Tamerlan]

The last screenie looks really great .

 

[Matija]

Well as expected new screenie looks much better.

I wouldn't go that far, having trees there for forests wouldn't be bad. But it would look much nicer if the Welsh trees weren't 5 times the height of Mt. Snowdon.

The graphic design reminds me a little of Imperialism 2...

EU II has this.

Lets be real here, Pdox isnt producing Eu3 for its old fan base (that 99% demands a 2D map). She is trying to get into a new market full of competitors.

Since Pdox isnt a very known name into this "mainstream world" it'll have a hard time with EU3.

And since we, gamers that like strategic, ugly, simple and at the same time complex games, will lose the only company that had been producing games for weird ppl like us.

I dont want to get back to chess

Why cant you keep playing EU2? If EU3 turns out to be a disapointment ala Diplomacy I will certainly keep playing EU2 and not start playing chess or something. EU2 is a great and complex games with few bugs and a million mods

It's still in alpha, for crying out loud.

I've been saying the same thing, but it seems that some can't read at all...
