First EU3 screenies posted! (This thread only please)

[Kriegsspieler]

The maps look very interesting. I am sure that they will be even better with another year of development.

But one request for Paradox: fix the formatting of the date. As it is now in the three pictures, it's all jumbled together with no spacing and bad punctuation:

Friday13,January1453

It's a little thing, but fixing the presentation of this and perhaps other items will go a long way toward making the game look more professional.

As Havard said, these are alpha screenies. I expect the boys in the office will be scrutinizing the maps a lot over the course of the next year!

Makes you wonder if the months will now have all of their days in EU3.

Personally, I would hate to see February 30 disappear.

The 3d still looking like 2d is good.
The UI that is shown in the screens is also very good.
Luckly it's still alfa cause there is still alot to do with the 3d graphics..
At the moment it looks quite chubby and rough.. more details

I note there is no leadership points counter, and no general "face" in the top, so I wonder slightly about how they will show how much "leadership from Victoria" you have.

EDIT: Do my eyes decieve me or are tey running it in windowed mode?

Probably for development purposes.

-------------------

I like what I see btw. Not great looking yet, but I didn't expect that so early either. Kinda reminds me of this fan made civ clone I saw pics of once.

For the icons at the top of the pics, I think they are as this(some obvious of course):

Manpower
Stability
Moneyp)

Diplomat(one of them have to be that, and this guy is the most probable of the unprobable)
(No idea)
Merchant
Missionary
Some kind of rebel used on foreign soil? Like you can support rebellions as part of your little power game to get control of the world.

Time. Now this is interesting: Will we get "real" months this time?

Seen from far, the graphics are cool but when you zoom, they just look ugly but hey, i remember how ugly Civ 4's graphics were when they came out november 2004.

 

[unmerged(42723)]

I hate to sound negative but I find them quite ugly as well when they're zoomed

I hope there are stil a lot of changes ahead. I wonder if it would help to make everything a bit more "flat". I mean still in 3d, same style with different heights for terrain (mountains etc.), but with not so big differences between highest and lowest regions (as for example in the Sweden screen).

The only thing I hope is that it will be easier than in EU2 or CK to spot which type of terrain is a province:

I have but a lazy brain, and if the province is not plastered with trees, in glowing green (as opposed to having a single or a couple of trees symbolising a forest like in the Scotland image, or pastel color like in EU2), I know I will still send cavalry charging in... o

PS: The only terrain I can easily recognise in EU2 or CK is mountains. Well, here, in 3D, eeer, it's the same !

PPS: But maybe forest/jungle/marsh or other terrain hindrance won't be as black and white as in EU2, and may influence proportionnaly to their coverage of the province, who knows ?

makes me wonder if they will implement the Gregorian Calendar in 1582 :rofl:
Another meaning of the lag in MP

And, whether they will give you an event, as some countries didn't change over, for example England only changed later.
It will be confusing, but historical.



And time travel:
Hisory log:
14 march 1582: The Royal army set off for Orleans from Paris
13 march 1582: The royal army arrived in Orleans from Paris.

 

[Filou]

Nice

But I'm a bit puzzled aboit that statement

Manage more than 100 individual unit troops to secure as much power as possible.

Will there really be over 100 types of units?
That would be a really big break from the previous titles.

Is it just me or does the landscape look like something my cat vomited out?

 

[unmerged(30040)]

Undeniably still in the oven but very promising.

 

[Nikolai]

Read the OP.

 

[Kasperus]

Quite promising indeed. So, does 'customize and mod practically anything' include the map?

 

[Nikolai]

Hopefully!

 

[unmerged(54065)]

The map atm looks quite horrible and the growth rates(in Sweden screenie) really look out of place!

I hope the actual map will look much much better.. The map development team sure has lot to do before the release.
