Will EU III be in a single CD?

[unmerged(36636)]

I am just curious to know if EU III would be released on a single CD or possibly two or three CDs. It does not matter for me anyway if it is released on even 5 CDs. Previously I asked whether it would be released in DVD and Johan himself cleared that it would be released in CD. But I think that considering the fact that EU III has much more content than its predecessors, it would be released in at least 2 CDs. What you say? And if Johan/Paradox could clarify it would be nice. Thanks

EU2 needs less than half a CD so it's possible EU3 could fit on one. I would expect two though.

IIRC, Johan stated that it will probably be one CD.

a half of a DVD would be better then

Think that we also saw that in a pic. One disk for the regular edition, two for the collector's (one is a bonus disk).

What's in the bonus disk? And what does the collector's edition have that the regular one doesn't (besides that strategy guide they're talking about)???

no.. its mp3. Its just an additional cd with the music on it, mastered for cd. (Which is a quality difference compared to mp3)

and yeah.. EU3 is on one cd.

tracks

How many different songs will Eu3 have? More than less?

You mean other than 250 versions of Falalan song, one for every playable nation/potential revolter?

One CD is good news, I'd hate to see a 4GB large download on Gamersgate.

And collectors version would sell better if the Falalan song were done by Gunther and the Sunshine girls. That would definitively be worth the extra ten bucks.

Here comes another question. Are we able to play EUIII without disk as we are able to play all other Paradox games? In my opinion this is great feature as I hate to change disks, I am that lazy.

 

[Brownbeard]

Johan and cd-checks? That sentence is too small for both of them. Its almost dogmatic that there will be no cd-checks for EU3, but some form of registration for online gaming. We never got exact details. But, cd-check... not in EU3. Its against the tenets of the faith.

 

[Golwar]

No-CD-Check isn't just about laziness, I had my Paradox Games on my Laptops for several years now. How mad would it be if you'd have to carry all those CDs with you all the time ?

I'd imagine that it'd be similar to the Diplomacy system currently running where you have to register your game to get access to tech forums. A lot better than cd checks.

If Gunther would make the Falalan song I surely would throw the entire CD out the window But of course so would I listen to it first, because it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you'll have to be a part of.

I'll probably download it and my connection is a bit slow(1Mbps)also I have a stupid download quota(3GB)so what will be its size??

If it is one CD then under 7/8/900 MB, depending on CD type I would imagine.

My money would be on below 700 MB.

Probably.
And I'm almost certain this is the case for the online-download version.
