Is there going to be a world war 1 timeline?

No OP is actually right, it would be great if we were able to play that era in EU4, some of us really like the era but can't stand the Victoria mechanics.

So you like the era except you don't like the way Victoria (1 and/or 2) emulate the behavior of the era? How are EU gameplay mechanics a better fit for the Victorian era than Victoria's mechanics?

Not sure if OP is still in the discussion, but if you are looking for a WWI scenario, you might be interested in trying Darkest Hour. It was published by Paradox, is based on the HOI2 engine, and includes separate WWI and WWII scenarios. The game is still being updated and last I heard the devs were attempting to connect the WWI and WWII scenarios into a single grand campaign.

It is also quite inexpensive. You can check it out here: http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-DHHOIG/darkest-hour-a-hearts-of-iron-game

You're absolutely right about Darkest Hour, and I'm ashamed I didn't mention DH myself earlier on. The WWI scenario is solid and really gets the static western front/more dynamic eastern front down fairly solidly. Mods, as usual, flesh it out even further. I seriously recommend DH for anyone wants a good WWI scenario.

e:

TL;DR the game isn't even out yet so you don't know that, open your mind and don't doubt the creativity of Paradox developers

Have you not read any of the dev diaries?

>mfw I realize the OP does not want to play Victoria 2 because he wants to play WWI in his Map Painting Simulator

Psst, this ain't /gsg/.

Guys can we add the war on terror? We can even have Prince Harry as general!

Seriously?

I know about about your maymays and greenwords, you can't fool me.
