It has to be said.
Bismarck leading the Prussians against the Yankees.
This isn't just good.
This is FUCKING AWESOME.

I have to say, its been suggested a million times, but thats because it's the best suggestion: Blood and Iron.

It is just US localisation. In every country the box will look different. In every country Bismarck will be fighting the local population. I am just curious, who will he fight in Germany

Guess 1:
Austrians - so they dont need to make a second cover for the austrian market
Guess 2:
Germans with Black-Red-Gold Federation Flagg (Liberals as Derek Pullem called them)
The two covers we have seen are totally different in style - I can see localised covers, but not localised styles. I think one is like a promo pic and the other is the cover or something.
I know we'll get the UK one, I just hope they can see the irony in that

We have a winner and a tagline!
Congratulations Rezki for being the first to inspire the use of Iron and Blood!
We're going with: Victoria 2 - Rule by Iron, Conquer through Blood.
While strictly not identical to his suggestion it put us on the perfect track!
Everyone else: you've done a fantastic job! Thanks!
Honorable mentions:
Victoria 2: She ... See Moreloved her country - she HATED zombies!
Victoria 2 - Bismarck 1
Victoria 2: In the Grim Darkness of the Near Past, There is Only Trade,
Victoria 2: Veni, Vidi, Vicky.

Great choice, it grabs the attention.
Shams, whats the story with the cover? Is it the Bismarck one or the CSA vs UK one?

Sounds kinda excessive to me - you know, like the tagline of a Michael Bay movie. How do you rule by iron? Does this mean clapping people in irons? How do you conquer through blood? Does this mean inheriting the throne through bloodlines?
Just plain "Blood and Iron" sounded far better - it was nice and simple, while still containing the important elements (for the history buffs, a historic quote; and for the more casual players, well... blood).

I like "Victoria 2: Veni, Vidi, Vicky. ", made me giggle.
"Rule by Iron, Conquer through Blood" is pretty cool though.

Meh, I still maintain mine are better. "Blood and Iron", or any variant thereof, brings military matters to mind, despite the fact that the focus of the game is industrialization and politics. But what Paradox giveth, Paradox can take away...
I had to reread that. At first, somehow, I read it as porno pic. Which, arguably, it is

+1.
I agree... That is something that would have been more of a HOI tagline.
19th century, and Victoria, aren't just about military and conquest, in fact they are only a small part. Industrialization, social and political changes, revolutions etc... it's all there and arguably even more important than pure conquest and colonization and more what's Victoria 2 really about.
If you went down that road, simply "Blood and Iron" would have been better. It still would be pretty bad since it gives wrong impression what is the game about, IMHO, but definitely much better than "Rule by Iron, Conquer through Blood".
It's excessive and misleading.
Your discussions and musings mirror the ones we had at the office exactly so far!

I think its kind of funny how much everyone, me included, refers to iron when discussing this era when in fact iron was completely superceeded by steel at this time... it would be like calling the 00s 'The dial-up access age'
