They were going to rename the game Teddy Rosevelt, An Intervention Under the Sun, for the American market. However Paradox put their foot down and said no way.;)

Hayes, James Garfield, Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson: Manifest Destiny

Actually I rather like the term manifest destiny in reference to the Victorian era in America, as it was a prevalent view at the time.

Don't see how they could work it into a universally appealing game title though.

You got to keep you titles short and snappy. It might describe the product, but it will take to long to read, plus you would need a 6' square box for it, making the packaging too expensive.

Thought so.

Yeh it is. I am not privy to any discussion Paradox had with SF. What I said was purely for comic effect.

No problem. I don't mind saying its not a joke when if I was being serious it would of been no laughing matter.
