Greven,
I had no intent to insult and admit my post is not terribly diplomatic in tone. But really I am rather concerned about EU2 not being as radical a change as IMO it should be. (I'd rather wait a bit.)
As for the political model I have described elsewhere, I may be overemphasizing class interests, but believe that there were just as many class conflicts in that time. The difference is that in the 19th century class consciousness grew considerably.
As long as there is some kind of constitutional/political model that is not overly simplistic, I'll be happy. There would of course be the chance to set up an absolutist regime as well. Sadly, the amount of depth I would like presumably cannot be incorporated in a game that spans four hundred years.
In any case, I hope you will include some kind of dynastic model.
Back to Bonaparte and the changes of the Revolution:
I agree somewhat with the opinion voiced that the Napoleonic era is beyond EU's grasp. EU is really geopolitically rather static and not the wild affair that the era in question was. If France gains a sudden hardcoded strength that seriously lets her dominate Europe as no one since the Charlemagne had, other players/nations will feel rather cheated after all their efforts.
Should France however not have a special impact in the time, then that would equally seem strange.
I think that the Revolution and Napoleonic Wars really deserve a game on its own, covering a similar scale to "Empires in Arms".
