Wow that had to be the most informative, awe inspiring, game trailer ever. /sarcasm

Still I'm excited, I can only make do with so much Civ 5 and Total War before I need a break.

it is the announcement trailer mind you, this is basically to say "EU 4, that is going to happen, probably." I doubt they even have much information to give out yet at this stage.

Still, EU is good fun and I hope they keep expanding on it.

Hope you can transfer Crusader Kings II games.
If you can't I'm sure the fans will build a save transfer program.

I get that, I'm just really tired of bland announcement trailers when a press release is just as informative.

Edit* clicked the wrong quote button apparently, fixed.

Hehe, it's funny that if you compare the short glimpse of the graphics with Crusader Kings 2, it doesn't look like an upgrade at all. But if you were to compare those graphics with EU3 at launch, there's a huge gap (50% attributable to HAB being red).

EDIT: I also enjoy the fact that despite the game being in pre-alpha, there's already a thread on the official forums suggesting province border changes.

I'm fairly sure you quoted the wrong post but they did post more on Paradox's press release:

That may have been the most lackluster trailer for a video game i have ever seen.

Apparently there is a map now?

While i have never played the Europa series, my understanding is that it is Spreadsheets - Total War.....without any of the ''war''.

I think I will stick with the TW series, and Microsoft Excel :)

Try the demo on Steam, its not easy to describe but i wouldn't call it "without War" at all.
There's plenty of war, just the individual battles are much more hands off. And there was always a map? :S

First thing i do when i get this game, into the common files i shall go to change the end date, then i click on the Provence of Munster and then Ireland shall rise >:3
Multiplayer should be fun too.

Though to be honest, all the new features, i'm pretty sure most of that is already modded into EU III

Taking the middle ground?
You know, there is a line going from the mainstream just for fun word conquering games and the seriuos down to business ones. and it goes more or less like this:
Sid meyers civilization being the simple easy to understand just for fun game
Total war series being more seriuos but still hilariuos at times
and then Paaradox games (europa universalis, hearts of iron, ect) that is hands on serious you have to strategize take care of your populace and if you dont plan years ahead youll be crushed. These games are for people who like to sit down, grab a cup of tea and create strategies whole day before making the best move possible.
