With all the work they put on the new DLC concept in CK2 I think they most likely will want to get maximum use out of that which would make EU4 more likely than EU3 expansion.

"I know you are developing Clausewitz continuously. I meant as changes from Europa to Clausewitz like."
Right now there would be no point in such a big change (whatever that change now would be).

---------------------

I thought that this would mean (with all the things posted in "Ask Paradox anything" -thread) that:
1) Current games will get more expansions
1.1) Most probable candidate for expansion this year is HOI3, and the other one being EU3 or Sengoku or CK2?
2) The new game announced in late 2012 or 2013 will most likely NOT be EU4

This game is already perfect but an expansion could be good I guess.

Part of the reason Russia never forms is the requirement for the Lithuanian provinces. If the GH gets beaten back by Europe, you still need to get those provinces from Lithuania. Thanks to the other stuff in Europe being a little saner as well, this is not as trivial as it could be.
If Lithuania falls, you can end up needing to get those provinces from the HRE, or someone in the empire, and thus protected by the Emperor.

Not only that, but you need one of two relatively powerful states to more or less completely eliminate the other form it to form, and that assumes none of the key provinces are taken by anyone else. I've seen Sweden being 2/3 of the way there, but with no reasonable way to get the other 1/3 without attacking the Emperor and his vassal swarm. Russia, much like in history, is not a guaranteed event.

the reason is because muscovy ALWAYS dies to the horde/revolters, and they're the only ones with missions for getting those stupid provinces (either/or: smolensk and chernigov). AI novgorod/others are too stupid to try and get them on their own.

Not in my experience. I do have to admit though that I am often interfering with the Hordes myself though, so that could be part of why I see such different results.
I haven't tried a hands off game in a while though, so I haven't really seen Muscovy trying to do anything without being influenced by my nation.

Yeah, honestly the game is fantastic as it is. EU3 Chronicles is probably the best game I've played well ever, I've lost hope on Rome getting an expansion and honestly I wouldn't be against EU3 getting another expansion if it offered valuable improvements to the game.

Can we PLEASE get an in-depth religious expansion? It was such a big deal in the colonial era, and I'd really enjoy seeing the reformation and proselytizing to foreign cultures done in a more involved way.

re: Rome... Would anyone be terribly interested in a good Roman mod?
