Guess there won't be a Rome 2 any time soon then. And probably no expansions for Rome 1 either. What do you think?
I think if enough people who wanted Rome2 in the project Truman thread post in this thread post here maybe they will think about an expansion.
We'll know the game is done when it is add to "Classic Games Forum".
Well, loads of people posted in the "Who wants Rome 2?" thread and nothing happened.
That said, I'm still hopeful but I think it's getting harder and harder to stay optimistic about Rome 2 happening at all in the near future.
; said:Strategy Informer: So, EU is on its fourth game name... not hard to imagine we'll be seeing sequels of one or two other titles as well *cough*Hearts of Iron 4*cough*... the industry at large seems to be suffering from a sense of sequel fatigue - do you think that will ever effect you guys?
...
Johan Andersson: Yeah, fans love sequels... But we do non-sequels and people tend to not buy them (rome, sengoku)…
I think from now on they will rather concentrate on sequels for their 4 main games.
It would be a shame though if they didn't take advantage of next years Rome (TW) hype.

For those that have not read the interview:

Rome was in classic games forum, but then they reorganized the forums and there is no classic games forum anymore.
Interesting. Earlier Paradox has always claimed that Rome sold very well and was more popular than some of their other games, but now they are claiming that it's in same category with Sengoku. If this later statement is true and the previous statements were lies, then I don't see much future for Rome. I considered buying Sengoku, but game doesn't seem to offer anything CKII doesn't have (besides exotic map, but I'm more European history fan myself) and there's no announcements of expansions or any patch progress or anything which would change the situation. When it was published so close with CKII that they could be called twin games, then it's hardly a surprise that people buy the version which offers more content and gets expansions.
It's kinda funny how people talk about how well Rome sold and you'll never see the same opinion in one thread and nobody confirms it... I guess it must have sold well as I managed to find a physical copy of it (and later EU3) which is pretty rare in Paradox's case.
Or perhaps that means it sold badly so they had to try other ways than gamersgate and other internet shopping..?
Actually Rome sold pretty damn well.
As the two games mentioned are in brackets it doesn't really sounds like it was Johan who said it, maybe the interviewer added that later on in order to shed some light on which two games were new franchises for Paradox? Maybe far-fetched, but I'm not into interviewing so I dunno what they can and can't doPeople had the impression that Rome sold well, because of comments like this:
And it was available on disc from the day 1. I pre-ordered collector's edition disc and I even got a nice Caesar bust with it.

As I see it, once EU4 is done it's probably time for HOI4,
