...and showing what Paradox is all about, ie, changing history.

hmmm?

Can't have the blood without the iron.

Preach on.

An Empire Under the Sun II: Hand of History

with the cover an old fashions globe with the Kaiser, Metternich, Louis-Napoleon, Garibaldi, the Tzar and Disraili or possible Victoria herself standing around it arguing with raised arms and obvious shouting in a drawingroom with a dark red wood walls for the background.

Excellent idea. Could make for an excellent back cover as well. Or hell, in this digital download age, make an alternate cover.

 

[Juancho]

great cover!!!
of course that comes from someone who noticed a game with a crown just sitting there :rofl:

I love the idea!!!!

 

[Chaos128]

very cool cover, go paradox!

 

[unmerged(8915)]

i would hire the guy who did the art for Deus Vult, he had by far the best illustrations of all the paradox games

 

[RedRalphWiggum]

Hey Johan, how come ye went with an illustrated cover instead of a photographic one as on Eu3 and HoI3?

eu3 had an illustrated cover too

So Victoria is now a war game?

 

[RELee]

Not even a week after this was started they revealed the cover for Victoria II.

That can't be a coincidence.

You're right! There are no coincidences. I bribed Johan. One of the benefits of being a "shill".

I found it on the store shelf. My father was kinda miffed that I wanted a game with a fat old white woman on the front

Sounds like me and your dad are two of a kind.

Because putting a train, a priest, and a pie chart on a cover are going get the game wide appeal

Although the crucial importance of pie-charts could possibly be subtly alluded to, through using some sort of variation on this:

The art should be a pie chart and nothing else. I think it would sell well

They should just use that image as the cover.

It's the attack of the DOOM TRAIN

I rarely laugh at an audible level anymore when I read something on the internet. But by God Autonomous you did it.

 

[Finnish]

I really like that cover - and I'm glad the old lady is gone for good.

+1 Either did (in fact, have just done) I XD

Victoria's empire under the sun is dead. Long live Victoria's DOOM TRAIN!

That's definitely my cover for Vicky2. Thanks to bipbapbop and Autonomous, you're great!

 

[Buddy3101]

cool I like the cover, can't await it

 

[Tobear]

Well looking cover. It looks really dynamic. Nice.

bahahaha. Somehow I knew someone would say that
:rofl:


Still, I do think that making it seem like it is a ACW game is wrong.

 

[Chief Savage Ma]

I like it. Sure it doesn't illustrate all the aspects of Victoria but we'd have trouble fitting all the aspects of Victoria II on a skyscraper-sized mural.

edit: It's also very intriguing.
