Or just 20USD! Hurrah weak dollar! And games for the current generation of consoles (Wii, PS3, XBox360) are about $60 each while PC games run between $40 and $60.

Yeah, I know. I wasn't saying you'd actually pay $80 for a game. Conversion for ya'...piff133 said:
I checked the first screenshot and noticed the last mission listed, titled "Westernise." Altough I'm not the greatest fan of Russia, I must express my doubts on the choice of portraiting the West as the ultimate axiom when it comes to science and values. Afterall, the West is usually associated with certain values that are not highly represented in EU3. A civilization's advancement is represented in EU3 in terms of infrastructure and technology. Perhaps the title could be changed to "Modernize" instead, as to describe the ambition of reaching the same level of advancement as the Western countries. I'm sure that countries can reach that status, without having to "westernize."

In the mind of the rulers of the time modernise = westernise.
Peter the Great have westernised his country to modernise it.
So Westernise is far better than modernise.
In Nomine is going to be so completely awesome!
I just love every sneakpeak more than the previous one

IN shows Paradox' commitment to its flagship series. Thank you Johan!
I'm still incredibly excited about all the options we will have to mod the game on a country-per-country basis. Finally, historical gameplay will return.

In Nomine will be a huge improvement. Thumbs up!
However, yet again the New World, Africa and the East Indies is utter fecal matter. Why no East-African city-states? Why so few countries and provinces in Mesoamerica? Would it slow down the game? How much slower can the game possibly get with say 20-30 more provinces and 10 more countries? Just put natives in all those places if you aren't going to bother.
Modernize is better, tied to whatever country in the vicinity (if any) that happens to be vastly ahead of you in technology.

With the game start pushed back, Europe was even more of a backwater in the world. Let's say that the Europeans doesn't find the New World or an alternate route to the riches of the East - perhaps due to an successful Ottoman invasion of Austria and Italy, and with that Iberian focus on the Mediterranean - Europe would stay as that backwater in the northwestern reaches of the world. Then it wouldn't be unlikely that an ambitious ruler of Russia would choose to instead "Easternize" or "Ottomize", right?Captain Frakas said:

I think you will need NA already to install IN.

Unlucky in the sense that Lithuania managed to break free from the personal union and thus had to be annexed in the old-fashioned way

Historically accurate or Politically Correct, I'm afraid they’re mutually exclusive…

No doubt muscovys vassal.. makes perfect sense
and when some 7 year war comes ahead.. beat the crap outa prussia and add its eastern provinces to the polish vassal. Only the era of ICBM:s really damaged the idea of bufferstates
Im a bit surprised tho.. 50 years, and the golden horde still stands. Now that i call lazy... lol
After that.. colonize like nuts.
THEN, swarm china.. and annex. Doing the very best to defend the illgotten superempire.. and once china is national area... wipe out all opposition!
Nothing like a 150-ship fleet landing 200K russian troops at normandy to show nappy whos the boss..

In the mind of the rulers of the time, the term Westernize did not exist.
The New World was a great thing for Europe, but that wasn't the main reason they jumped ahead technologically. Things such as the printing press, universities, the growth of the middle class, and newspapers contributed much more, I believe.Namm said:
Looks terrific! I think with these additions the Eu3 system is finally going to decisively overtake deterministic events.

bear in mind that prices in Euro include Sweden's 25% VAT, while the US price does not. that explains a large chunk of the price difference between Euro and Dollar you notice here.
