Fuck yeah it's finally announced.
http://www.strategyinformer.com/news/19367/paradox-reveals-europa-universalis-iv-for-q3-2013
+ Show Spoiler [some LARGE pics] +
And for the ultra lazy, a direct link to the video:
http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/europauniversalisiv/movie/45009.html
- Take your own decisions: Nation building is flexible: decide your own form of government, the structure of your society, trade politics and more. The possibilities are endless. - Use your Monarch Power: Experience the new system of monarch power where your spread of choices is influence by the caliber of the man you have at the top. Do you have a warrior King? Then it is time to make war. - Experience history coming to life: The great people and personalities of the past are on hand to support you. Thousands of historical events guide you, with unique different flavor depending on the country you play.

Lead any one of more than 250 countries that originally existed during the game’s extensive time span. - Experience the all new trade system: The trade system adds a new dimension to the great trade empires of the period. Seize control of key ports to expand your trade, support it with your powerful fleet and the wealth of the world will flow to you. - Bring out your diplomatic skills: Deeper diplomatic gameplay, with coalitions, threats, fleet basing rights and detailed support for rebels. Introducing unilateral opinions, a country may dislike you, but you can be neutral towards them. - Engage in Multiplayer: Battle against your friends or try co-operative multiplayer mode that allows several players to work together to control a single nation for up to 32 players. Featuring hotjoin, improved chat, new matchmaking server andsupport for a standalone server. - Create your own history & customize your game: Europa Universalis IV gives you the chance to customize and mod practically anything your heart may desire.
What we can see from the video so far:
* No more traders, you get trade routes. Sort of like a quasi-Supply System from Hearts of Iron 3, most likely including a form of blockading, port raiding, pirating, and the likes. Also there is overland trade with caravans and shit. * Landscape changes with the seasons * Using a similar but clearly improved 3D engine to the likes of CK2
Oh, and new sprites!

| Good... I bought EU3 late with a ton of expansions, but obviously they just keep pumping out expansions, pissing me off. Will be good with a 4th expansionless game... until they drop 50 expansions for it too. |

They officially stopped making expansions for EU3 at In Nomine years ago. But the community DEMANDED more, so Paradox delivered.
That's why EU3 Complete only goes up to In Nomine. |

Yes!
EU3 is one of my top 10 most played games with at least 500 hours invested in it.
Glad to hear that they will try to keep it a little more historical this time. Just hope there will be a little more micromanagement of your empire this time. |

... Oh boy.
Why am I such a sucker for these types of games? :'(
"Crusader Kings II meets Europa Universalis III" is going to be awesome. Paradox Interactive keeps delivering; it is quickly becoming my favourite development studio. Who needs to sleep anyway? |

Paradox has long been both my favorite developer and producer. Fuck I find myself loving everything that they touch. |

Well, they were able to get the CK2 release done pretty well. Here's to hoping for two in a row  |

| Maybe this is part of the reason why they axed magna mundi? Or maybe they started this when they saw mm going to hell? Anyways I am really looking forward to the improved multiplayer functions ("Support for stand-alone server!") And to the improved AI that they have in CK2. (In both intelligence and in resource drain on computer, eu3's ai is coded in a way so that it demands a lot) |

They axed Magna Mundi because it was making no significant progress and wasn't passing any of their testing phases at all.
Hopefully this new leader system will stop me from winning the game by 1450 though 
I'm super pumped about the new trade system too.Last edit: 2012-08-13 11:31:34 |
