[Bobby Shaftoe]

Ha!! EU3!!!

Now prepare yourselves for the Spanish crusade (being planned, prepared and organized right now, as we talk here, in the Spanish forum)!!

A GOOD map for the Most Powerful Empire in the EU3 timeframe (period) and GOOD leaders!!!

(Córdoba, Bazán, Blas de Lezo, Farnesio, Duque de Alba.... mwahahahahaha!!!)

WOW Guild?

First of all let me say I am totally pumped about EU3. Paradox is the only company that let's me play as Siam...damn Sid Meier and Civ 4 :-(, but on to a something a little more important. What server is Johan on in WoW? Personally I am on Moonrunner and I am my own guildmaster so if Johan happens to be on my srver I will have to leave my guild or level up another toon to 60 just to get into the EU3 Beta? My god man! Not only will i loose what little social life i have jut gotten back after breaking a little of my WOW addiction now I will have to do it again just to become addicted to EU3?? :wacko: Ah well who needs real friends anyway. BTW Johan are you Alliance or Horde? PLZ dont tell me ur a tree-hugging NE Rogue I would lose so much respect for you... sorry to be off-topic. Well Thanks for what i am sure will be the best Strategy game of 2007. And cheers for my future Siamese empire Ciao

Only level 60 members in my WoW guild would ever be in any eu3-betas.

I am sick, cough cough, badly sick, cough. I need sick-leave, obviously. And if I just happen to play WoW during my sick-leave, it is just so that am trying to forget the pain I am in. Cough cough, sneeze. I might of course accidently hit 60 with Eldreth though, which might make available for beta, but that would be a coincidence.

EU-Deathwing, Alliance. He plays a god of thunder and rock'n'roll, aka a dwarf paladin. Too bad new characters can't be created on Deathwing atm

Spain gets 1 province, wool, 1 basetax, 1 manpower.

and a couple of eternal 1/1/1 leaders

...As they should have!


...I mean, seriously, you lost against a bunch of BEGGARS

EU3's a good idea. Every time I play EU2, it's obvious that it's a good game, but the interface is ancient (even HoI1's is more usable and better looking). No idea what other improvements could be made...the one of the things I'd like in a HoI3 is a 3D globe, to let you fire ICBMs over the North Pole, but what does EU3 need?

A lot of things : more diplomatic options, an improved AI, more internal policies, dynastic affairs, more realistic trade, military leaders as in Victoria (with positive and negative modifiers... (in fact, what Holistic God or Sir Humphrey suggest in other threads )

 

[Nightcap]

I'm not overly excited about this yet. I've found the last few Paradox Games disappointing, they've all had good ideas, but have been let down by the implementation of those ideas; particularly in the interface. Hopefully EUIII* will bring me back into the Paradox fold.



* or EU3. I haven't decided how I shall write it yet.

It's open again

 

[Rorschach]

What I would like to see in EU3 is a more refined culture model. Something like a hierarchy or culture groups ala Empire of the Middle Ages, instead of having french and italian be as different as french and aztec.

I'll still get the game regardless, as EU2 was my most favourite pc game ever.

 

[angryclown]

Sensational!

After all this time, EU2 is still the one that I play the most

"The game starts in 1453, right after Constantinople has fallen to the Turks, and continues up until the revolutions in France and America."

Which revolutions and which time is Johan talking about do you think?

 

[Registered]

Late 18th Century methinks. That would make the most sense.

 

[unmerged(39451)]

I guess that...

"The game starts in 1453, right after Constantinople has fallen to the Turks, and continues up until the revolutions in France and America."

I think 1774 or 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution. Maybe, we could make some scenarios for the 1774-1836 period o

The American and French ones. So pretty much EU1 style.

 

[Wämö]

Europa Universalis III will be the next Paradox game

Happy Wednesday everyone.

See, I told you so. Great news indeed.

 

[Sandmann]

Hehe, I'm so high on the news of EU3 that when I read revolutions I thought Electricity? Edisons lightbulb? Which revolutioning inventions? I assumed it would be a bigger timespan than EU2. :wacko:

 

[Mad King James]

I think tightening their timeframe is a better idea than expanding it. The 1453 startdate is important because the Ottomans and French are in much better positions, Portugal has the Azores and Madeira, the Canaries dispute is over, etc. Also the game mechanics vis a vis religion and culture are irrevocably changed with the revolutionary era.

 

[Kasperus]

So I guess there won't be any eu2 1.10 anymore then?
