Aww, what happened to the Dark Ages momentum?
It used to have twice as many votes as the one in second place, now even HoI3 has more votes, and CK2 is closing in fast :(

7% is a gigantic lead.

I believe we can even extend that.

Play Victoria and you'll retract all pro HoI comments, as many a Victoria player started off a HoI player.

Johan has said in the past he wasn't too keen on Victoria, so I doubt it would be a Vicky 2. However, I will buy anything that comes in a box. I mean, in my local game store there was EUIII Rome. Back then, I didn't know it was opposed by some people but I bought RTW: Alexander and Sudden Strike III over EUIII:R :D

Ohh... It says "hope". I misread that as "think" and answered HoI3 and was left wondering how so many people can expect Victoria 2.

Oh well, at least answering was easy now and I didn't have to choose between Vicky 2 and a Cold War game.

The day that Vicky 2 or a vicky-esque game gets announced will be one of the happier days of my life.

I hope that days come soon.

I was going to pick the "A Crusader Kings-style game set in Medieval China or Japan" option, but then I remembered that such a game wouldn't work at all in Medieval China. Ancient (pre-Imperium) China maybe, but definitely not medieval. And there's already S:TW out there for Medieval Japan. So nah. Vicky 2 FTW!

So many good choices. I vote for CK2, although I think any of the above would be awesome...just as soon as I can afford a new computer to run it (I can just barely run EU3, doubt I could run a new title, yet.)

Well to some extent true, I returned to Vicky after "extensive & extreme overplaying" of HOI2 :rofl:


After I bought Doomsday, I played it for several weeks. I believe a month or so I got bored, a month later I bought Victoria - I've been hooked ever since, and it's in part thanks to OHgamer's VIP:R mod, and his (hopefully) up and coming Clio map.

I can only speculate that a potential source code mod (or, "game" I suppose) by him would be unbelievably great. I'd have no hesitation in paying for something of that quality.

At present I'd kill for Victoria II, but with a dedicated moderator and modder such as OHgamer, I'd also not drive a car off a cliff anytime soon, being safe in the knowledge that the community and interest is certainly not dead.

And this poll is barely proof thereof. Victoria's alive and kicking, in one way or another, so don't write her off anyone. ;)


Edit: What did I say earlier? We'd extend that lead? 7% --> 9.5%! Go Victoria!

I would bet on Dark Ages.

The era is full of chaos and mayhem so the title makes some sense.

Codenames are always from a random word I picked when creating the projects. Usually have nothing at all related to which game it is :)

Victoria was "Dawn" Eu2 was called "Epic".. EU3 was "J". HoI2 was "Kolsyra".
