What EUIV lacks to gain sales

[Jebusrocks]

I've been seeing a lot of ads everywhere (youtube, every site i visit etc.) but I feel like EUIV lacks something a lot of what AAA titles have; a kickass trailer meant to totally give you a misconception of what the game is actually like.

Some examples of this:

Starcraft 2, though not as misleading as other trailers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PKxXdSUl3Q
Heroes of Might and Magic VI, a turn based strategy RPG

Though I've enjoyed promo vids for CK2, I think having a good trailer can possibly earn more players that might not have even cared for the game otherwise.

PS: I'm only being semi serious, I understand paradox isn't that rich

Another good idea would be to organize some kind of tournament, in which people could take part in and the best would then meet in a LAN or something.
eSports nowadays boost a game's popularity a lot.

The CK2 trailers where great. For EUIV they got the musical, witch seem more directed at the fans of the series, though.

It's a niche game, I know a lot of people that play video games IRL, non are interested in a grand strategy game that doesn't involve killing a nexus, helogunning or beating up nintendo characters. Even if you sell the game, you gotta have the right person playing it or he'll just trashtalk to everyone who'll listen.

Actually in the movie theater in the town i'm staying right now (germany) they had CK2 and EUIV commercials running on some infommercial tv screen at the ticket center.

It's basically just the front cover + "buy now" in gold text.
