I've bought and played a lot of games over the years.

Only three games have survived the test of time.

Europa Universails II
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
&
Civilization II


Now CIV IV, TES IV: Oblivion, and EUIII are going to be the next generation!!!

 

[Bushranger]

woot another great game to look forward to

 

[Mettermrck]

Awww, it starts in 1453. I kinda had hoped it would move in the other direction.

So we can't play as the romans Still the best news since Doomsday, though.

 

[lordsid]

I didn't see anything on game requirements.
Does anyone know what these will be?

 

[Kujy]

Bloooody sweeeeeet!!!!!

 

[5678]

Terriff.

They asked Johan to describe the game in three sentences or less. He took five. This is a bad sign.

BUT it looks like it went back to EU1's reduced timeframe. This is a good thing.

Indeed, Johan is an over-achiver. This must be bads news for the game.

I enjoy the time choice immensly. Enough time to alter the set-up of great powers but the right ones should be there in some capacity the first 100 years as opposed to an early flook disrupting history too much.

 

[5678]

We look forward to giving you more information soon on what will become the best game ever made.

Someone's confident.

 

[Duuk]

My first prediction: There will be a huuuuuuge flamewar regarding the 1453 startdate, and even though it is published as fact will be challenged.

Within 15 minutes of the game's release, there will be a Byzantium Mod.

 

[unmerged(8391)]

So, erm...1700 provs/seazones...didn't EUII have like 2000?

it was a bad idea to extend it earlier. the amount of heartache that the AGCEEP community went through to create their elegant dauphine-england-france set up and the arguing over the mongols having artilery, or the chinese treasure fleets was simply ridiculous.
