Awesome, there goes my social life.

I hope it won't get dumbed down like other paradox new titles. Though that's inevitable since probably they will use their fancy eu3 engine.

Not inevitable but unfortunately very likely.

 

[thesheeep]

I hope it will just become more accessible without being dumbed down too much. Just a little improvement of the interface and controls would be what that game needs.
That and it needs to be easy to mod.

That 'fancy' eu3 engine hardly makes it inevitable. Eu 3 has always been a far more advanced and feature rich game than the rather simplistic Eu 2, and if we bring in In Nomine in the equation, then you are horribly wrong.

The only recent game that can be considered 'dumped down' is Rome, but it is maturing. Patch 1.3 brought in several new features like new events, new trade resources and 3 new playable nations. It still has a long way to go, but it is improving.

I do not think Hoi 3 will be dumbed down. We already know it has about 10 000 land provinces, but I frankly do not care. Hearts of Iron is and have always EU:s, Vickys and CK:s retarded little brother. Boring, uninteresting and unrefined. Its fans are the most immature group on the Paradox forum. The only good thing about Hoi 3 is that it will generate profit that can be used in more interesting games.

 

[thesheeep]

"dumb" with 'b', please

And yeah, Rome really has some way to go. I definately bought it much too early.

 

[OccupatedVoid]

I came.

What social life?

 

[Fez]

Good stuff. I've just been replaying HOI2 recently too.

Where is Victoria 2.

Hey, I pay good money for it.

Where is Victoria 2.

There weren't enough Capitalist pops to fund it so Paradox rigged the elections to get a command economy but then the tide of immigrants slowed down so Paradox invaded Norway to get more pops but had its economy crippled by war dissent.

long story short, people want to kill stuff.

 

[spacemoose]

this will be hardcore

War dissent? With all those social reforms I'm not sure why would anyone be pricky about this. They should lower their safety regulations. No one cares if a few workers get stuck into loose machinery. Unemployement subsides? Give me a break. In the next elections they better change everyone to conservative. They should start making luxury furniture, too, lots of demand on the world market. Also, form Scandinavia. And why is Poland on the map?

 

[Elwro]

And why is Poland on the map?

Which war are we talking about?

 

[Serious_Business]

No war, the part where they decided to just take the lands because nobody gave a damn. You remember that one

 

[VonVentrue]

HoI III and Anno 1404...
The best announcements of the entire GC 2008, hands down.

Would really like to know what you post under at Paradox...

Was making the same point to LCJr over at Tacticular Cancer and he said it was an elitist view. Maybe it's one only those who do actually follow Paradox games can appreciate?

Of course they're using that god awfully ugly EU3 3D map, which served no gameplay purpose at all other than destroying the atmosphere provided by the antiquated 2D map, but did ensure that the game wouldn't run on my laptop. If you're going to blatantly graphics whore, at least use pretty graphics.
