Yeah, I think they'd be making the mistake of assuming a game will be popular because there are already many other games in that genre. I think finding an actual gap in the market with very few credible games would be more interesting. Making an expansive and immersive antiquity game would stand out a lot more than a fantasy IP.
Please Cato, stay on topic.
Rome 2. The improvements of eu4 make me interested in how it will be better then eu rome
Without a norway? And yes I know that vi2 didn't have a norway but that was historically wrong.
No one said it would be a GSG. And I think you cna be certain they will make a rome era GSG eventually. If it's not happening right now it's because they're still in the predevelopment.
Probably not the first time in history someone has asked that.
Ok, so i'm going to go for something completly new. An RTS/GSG hybrid style "state" building game set in the days of the collapse of the western roman empire. You play as a tribe settled in one of the western provinces of the WRE, and try to survive the collapse of the empire, while carving out your own state. The game has a "storyteller" like rimworld, which decides when diseases, offmap invasions and other problems hit your state.
It'll be Fantasy game about pre-FTL medieval Blorg and the how the legendary Blorg Victoria befriend every Blorgs on the planet.
Blorg Universalis: Victoria
Blorg Universalis: Victoria
I was 80% sure it'll be Vicky 3 yesterday,but the latest teaser nailed it. I'm pretty sure it's Rome2 now, and they are just preparing the population for a v3 in the future. (2020?)
Anyways, I'll be extremely dissapointed if it won't be any of those sequels.

It's either a Rome II or fantasy setting, my bet is on fantasy. This is only a suspicion of mine but I feel that while the fans are clamouring for sequels: give us Rome 2! Vicky 3! Rome 2! Vicky3 ! Rome 2! Vicky 3! Johan and the devs are more interested and passionate about trying something new, and I cant really blame them, just look up Johan and his Runemaster interviews.
While I'm more interested in the historical titles rather than fantasy and sci-fi I do enjoy Stellaris and If the interest is not really there for a another sequel by the devs it will only result in a poorer game for everyone.

Why would people would be disappointed if it is a fantasy-themed game? I mean, "fantasy" can mean a LOT of different things. It doesn't have to be a generic fantasy world.
Especially since Paradox has been working on the lore of Runemaster - it could very well be some kind of grim low fantasy world with Vikings and all. Or it could be a Sword&Sorcery pseudo-Bronze age fantasy setting... etc. It could even be argued that all Paradox game are fantasy, just some more than others, and all of them are science fiction anyway (because that's what alternative history is).
At least provide some arguments, please. Do you fear it'll be an oversimplistic fantasy world? Or are you snobs that just think hsitory-inspired games are inherently superior? Do you simply dislike fantasy as a genre?
'Cause you know, there aren't that many great AND original strategy fantasy games lately. And fantasy can be very different things anyway, many of which having never been explored in strategy games.
Personally I doubt it'll be high fantasy at least. I don't think it's something Paradox would do right after Stellaris - they are still experimenting with the creation of new worlds and people, they will likely use the real world at least as a base for their next game. And there are too many of them already anyway. Paradox would probably go for something fresher than your usual elves, goblins and dwarves if they chose to make a fantasy game, especially since Triumph is already making this kind of games.
I think it will be more like CK2 than HoI (for example), in the sense that you will be able to alter the course of "history" to a large extent. I have no clue about the time frame (well, except that Norway won't be on the map).
I would be rather disappointed if it would be centered around only Rome or a very specific region, especially if the game forces you to follow certain "historical" paths. Replayability is one of the main reasons why I live Paradox games and got bored very fast with Hearts of Iron.

I don't really see Stellaris as "fantasy" in quite the same sense. Sci-fi is appealing because it's often meant to be our future, and tends to include things that might be possible. Fantasy isn't our world and includes things that are clearly not possible. Stellaris lets you design the race/government you want and potentially just play as Earth in 2020. I don't think a fantasy game could/would offer something comparable. I'd take another attempt at future/alternative history over pure fantasy, honestly.
Because they haven't finished working on CK2 yet. It still has another couple of years left in its life cycle based on the amount of content they continue to announce. Why would they be doing such a massive overhaul to the Crusades if they were intending to announce a sequel before that patch even hit?
I wouldn't mind fantasy. But Triump will also announce a new game and that will definitely be fantasy (AoW 4?). That would be kind of overkill.
Because CK2 is still "alive" and they won't do a CK3, EU5 or HoI5 until there are severe improvements for this new title as Johan said a few times. We won't see these games in the next 5+ years.
Those hints could be read in a million of different ways, but I'm hoping Rome II or any other equivalent Antiquity game.
I'll be pretty disappointed if it turns out it's something else after that the devs allowed the speculation to run so wild around Rome II.

Why are people saying fantasy game now? Has a fantasy game ever been in ''popular demand'', as one of the first hints said?
