Pleasant surprise

[soldarin]

Will definitely give this game a spin. EU2 had its perks and playing a truly different nation rather than generic european power 16 was one of them.

Did I miss mention of a projected release date?

Indeed. Never played EU2, but seeing as I far prefer Victoria/HoI2 to EU3/HoI3, I will defenatly be buying it.

Hopefuly, a dev diary will start soon.

Its like they are making the EU3 everybody wanted!!

Can't wait to see this one, hopefully its still got the old EU2 2d map - super fast scrolling!

Yeah it is

 

[Trevor Distance]

Lovely surprise, yes.

Any chance of a discount as I just re-purchased EU2?

I just came across this. Fantastic, I'll certainly be getting it as soon as it appears. After all these years, EU2 has been my favorite Paradox game.

Most likely not. For me EU3 is a great step from EU2 and I find it much more fun to play. Nevertheless I do like EU2 very much for being just what it is and I am very glad to see this game expand on that.

Seems like many gamers expect just minor changes when strategy games evolve. It was the same with Civilization series. As soon as a new game is released there is a loud group complaining about the game changing for the bad. After a while most of these people get acustomed with the new game and stops complaining. What people really want (this is just my theory ) is an EXPANSION on the old game. Just doing minor changes but keeping the game as almost the same.

Indeed. Goal had never been redoing EU3 with Europa Engine. OTOH, I don't know exactly what is really a "minor change". And see here. There is room for both.
