What will happen to EUII?

[unmerged(22430)]

I really did dislike Diplomacy.

It will be sad when this forum dies. All the memories all the discussions the hours of game play.

I have already seen the HOI1 forum wither away. And what is even more sad is I discovered Paradox by HOI1 and spent my days as a noob and my first post resides there.

Though I will switch over to EU3 mostly, I can't say yet if i'll never play EU2 again though

If EUIII is great ( and I know it will be) then I'm sure I'll instantly convert

What about a community of old fossils , I mean, people who will continue to play EU2? I'm in .

I'll go back and play EUII, just for old tymes sake.

EU2 will always have a special place in my heart and a spot in my Hall of Fame; joining EU1, Age of Empires 1 & 2, Railroad Tycoon 2 and Civilization 2.

Unfortunately, it'll be pushed aside for some EU3! w00t!

I'd definitely move on to EU III, but more then likely EU II would whither out somewhat, just because the two games are so similar. Though I cant say for certain, I still play Alpha Centauri, Civ 3, Age of Empires 2, Close combat 2 and if my experience says anything, EU II will still maintain a relatively small, albeit strong core of gamers.

PS. Any CC 2 players still out there???

I must admit that I do not like what I've seen so far from the screenshots. I like EUII a lot because of the graphics, and I do not think it's any clever to ad a crappy 3D-engine to EUIII.

As for the number of colonies, they are perhaps the material point in the game. I really would have enjoyed EUII without any Terra Incognitas. I know that would be huge, but that's much better than a new look...

I'll propably stick with EUII, but I will buy EUIII. Have to try EUIII before criticizing it perhaps?

Maybe.

 

[Pellucid]

Given that the time difference between the release of EUIII and the arrival of the first "Byzantine mod for EUIII" is likely to measured in nanoseconds, at most, that's not a convincing argument.

My theory is still that the Byzantine mod for EU3 will be completed and released before the actual release date.

There are still some HoI I players. In fact, I still play it myself.

I don't think EU II will fade away as quickly as other sequeled games, because it has been around so long and has a well-established reputation.

EU I even still manages a few diehards.

I'll never know why Byzantines are such a big deal. It's one thing to object to their not being in a game set in their time, but you'll just have to deal with it if the game time isn't the same.

Something tells me that someone is already working on a Byzantine mod for EU3...

Something tells me that an eager beta already finished a Byzantium mod (complete with events, ghraphics and even custom leadernames...) and that the entire betacummunity is playing it... :nods:

Those bastards

Those bastards

Yes those evil betabastards...

*Please don't hurt me, I'd do anything to get in, really anything...

If they are, then they are jeopardizing the game's development.

 

[SeedSnatcher]

Somehow, I think they'd say so be it and keep playing despite that...

If you only knew the power of 'Byzantine' fanboyism.

I just realised I will probably have the most quiet job on the board, when everyone moves over to the new shiny place..

That might be a good thing... for us.

Carolus I hope you already worked out your retirementplan... You ain't gonna have much to do one year from now...

Unless you're moving to the EU3 forums too...
