Name of the Next Expansion?

[IIWW]

Well, CoP is a song, so I suggest:

"Things We Lost" (to the nearby forts).

CoP is a movie. The song was just a soundtrack.

Also: why do people think england would be the center of attention in this DLC is Enlgand-focused? England just gets an unique gov. type, for what we know right now it's pretty general expansion.

They will come, someday.

Came in CoP, WoN, ED and, especially, AoW.

 

[iShurik]

My guess is "Gods & Kings". Would be a nice tribute to the Civ V expansion and it fits so far.

 

[Lamahorse]

EUIV: Comet Sighted!

 

[Holbenilord]

Atlantis Rising

 

[Chlodio]

My guess is "Gods & Kings". Would be a nice tribute to the Civ V expansion and it fits so far.

Why would Paradox want to pay tribute to Civ V? Civ series isn't even grand strategy, Civ series has absolute nothing to do with the expansion, that is just such absurd reply it is as relevant as saying "I like ice cream, thus expansion should be called "The Ice Cream".

CoP is a movie. The song was just a soundtrack.

But the song is named after the movie, so it is also a song?

EUIV: Comet Sighted!

EUIV: More Enlightened Times

 

[Rinsukaze]

Monastic societies? Growing cities?

Maybe "tribute" is the wrong word. I guess "reference" would fit better. Gods & Kings was a very good expansion for Civ V and I think this expansion will be a very good one for EU IV. Also with the theocracies and the improvements to the feudal system I think it would fit very well. But I wouldn't be sad, if they give it another name.

Europa Universalis IV DLC - Forgotten Kingdoms

 

[Zylathas]

I think Il Prince is a good idea... But please let Machiavelli himself be the official logo then.

 

[TomosCaerllion]

I like Leviathan. It sounds more like an EUIV DLC than Il Principe, and 'Leviathan' is both more fitting and more imposing than 'The Prince'.

The DLC includes the addition of parliaments, and seems to be about society, development and warfare which all seem fitting. I feel 'The Prince' would be a title best reserved for something more heavily diplomatic/political, with some military elements. For a big expansion of statecraft options you can't beat 'Leviathan'.

 

[Zoob]

Isn't Res Publica a multi-lingual title? Deus Vult for CK2?

 

[Kapitalisti]

I like Leviathan. It sounds more like an EUIV DLC than Il Principe, since we don't tend to have multi-lingual titles and 'Leviathan' is both more fitting and more imposing than

Like Res Publica?

 

[TomosCaerllion]

Point taken. Europa Universalis isn't English anyway...

Although I still prefer Latin or English/localisation. Maybe 'De Principatibus', which was, after all, the original published title of the Prince? Nothing wrong with an Italian title, but Latin just sounds more authoritative and 'cool' for historical strategy.

Leviathan seems to fit the sort of politics that's being expanded upon, which seems more early-modern with the exception of Theocracies, which seems to be a bonus-feature. I might change my mind when more dev diaries come out, but right now I just don't get the Machiavelli vibe from them.

 

[TheLastDodo]

I feel that this expansion focuses a lot on 17th and 18th centuries so here are some books from that era:

Candide
The Story of the Stone
The Social Contract
Common Sense - Age of Reason - Rights of Man
The Spirit of the Laws

Gonna extend this later...

 

[VineFynn]

Treatises of Government? The Discourses?

Tbh, I think the best has already been listed. I suspect the Magna Carta and The Prince are probably the most likely candidates, since they're rather better known in popular culture than Leviathan, even if a bit less relevant.

Europa Universalis IV 2: Europe Harder

 

[johnleeyx]

EUIV: Comet Sighted!

EUIV: More Enlightened Times

EUIV : Reform Society

 

[OldmansHQ]

Does it absolutely have to be a reference to something? How about Europa Universalis IV: Inward Governance or Europa Universalis IV: Forts and Chapels?
