Are you for real?! No Victoria 2?! What a surprise,swedish cucks. Do you have a trailer or something?

It could also be China though, or even a fantasy game. Let's hope it's not the latter.

This is actually a really good point:

but I have to point out that HoI 4 has recently added formable Rome, and Stellaris added Roman ship names.

until you realize it's probably going to take two years and six DLCs to be in a playable state (looking at you Stellaris and HoIV).

I'm more interested in Triumph's new game:



Anyway anyone who wants to watch the announcements in real time. It's May 19, 11:00 (CEST):

Tomorrow its time for the bard!

Most likely a reference to Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar'.

Heh, Paradox registered trademarks "Planetfall" and "Imperator" some time ago, so I guess the PDS game would be something like Rome 2: Imperator.

Few minutes to find out!

Announced at PDXCon 2018 today, Imperator: Rome is Paradox's latest history-shifting grand strategy game.

Led by EU4, CK2 and Stellaris old hand Johan Andersson (who took to the conference stage dressed in a toga, ushered by spear-wielding Roman soldiers) Imperator: Rome asks questions of its players. What if Alexander's empire was centralised under a single successor? What if Italy was never unified under Roman rule? What if Caesar never existed—how would western civilisation look today?

Paradox suggests the answers lie in Imperator's complex character management, ruling over its diverse populations, and mastering its host of military traditions, government types and trade options.

None of that is showcased in the following trailer, but a number of pretty-looking statues are:
"The masters of historical strategy have returned to the days of legions and legends," reads a statement. "Paradox Development Studio is happy to announce Imperator: Rome, an upcoming grand strategy game set in the classical world from the glory days of Athens to the establishment of the Roman Empire four centuries later.

"Rule any nation on the most detailed Paradox map ever stretching from the Pillars of Hercules to the far reaches of of India, allowing you to build an empire to dwarf that of Alexander. Govern republics or monarchies, balancing the factions, and keeping the loyalty of your most capable generals."

Paradox says Imperator: Rome is due next year. If you fancy the sound of it, more information lives this way.

You know what, if you can turn some backwater tribe living in what is now potatoland into an organized Lechite empire (without it being trivial) that would make the Mediterranean powers tremble, this might be good.

Also this has potential for lulzy ancient era LARP-faggotry, modded Atlantis, SPARTA!, 'Thal vestigial empire (Melonhead wars mod?), ancient Israel and the above mentioned Lechite potato-wank. If only Cassidy was still here to LP it after it got released.

Of course it will get milked as fuck with DLC since this is paradox, but it sounds more entertaining than HOI IV.

We all know that at release it will be worst than this:

Honestly, i would have prefer some fantasy new IP or Vicky 3. Rome is..... overdone to death,it could turn out to be a decent game but......it is done sweden.....by paradox.


The new Age wonders looks retarded and have no interest in defiling the corpse of a once great series. As if it was that hard to just come up with some generic sci-fi name.

Will the Lusitanians be included? I eagerly await to play my Iberian ancestors and honor the memory of Viriato!

Note to self: Make sure my bodyguards don't get bribed this time
