      Ooooh, this game looks utterly amazing! This time, I bet (with money) they'll make the game a bit more user friendly! Rock on!

        Seems good, maybe I'll buy it this time...

        I thought they'd situate the game in another era though, wasn't there a poll about that at the EU boards? Would have been terrific for me if they'd have situated it in the imperialism era.

          Paradox is in no way done using the EU game engine. They'll get around to it eventually.

            I don't know, the imperialism engine was great too but they quit after 2 games. Looking at the EU2 boards, it seems that Rome is more popular anyway although I'm not sure whether that would be workable.

                  where do they get the resources???

                  I thought they were a small company.

                    Is it going to be a new improved game, or the same game with a few extras, a few tweeks and the bugs fixed?

                    It is coming out too quickly for me to have much confidence.

                      They also need to include the colonys revolting....

                      1 in 5 of my GC and IGC games the colonys revolt. This is simply not good enough.

                      But nonetheless, I do enjoy playing Russia/Sweden.

                      Hopefully EU2 will have an Explanatory manual...



                      Another thing I hope for is better graphics, less abstract combat, lowering of attrition, Re-Vamping the peace-maker, DONT MESS WITH AI.

                      EU is the FIRST game I have ever played, in which the AI has the ability to utterly destroy. Just as you have the ability to destroy them. 2/3 of my wars are successful, the other 1/3 are not .
                      You simply dont know how much your biting off until enemy forces have begun besieging your provinces. The AI is very rational and a capable opponent. I dont even bother going MP to play. The AI is hard enough


                      Hats off to the guys at paradox and Strategy first for this awesome game. Sure it didnt have a cool box, or great graphics. But It was a damn good game!

                        They should make it possible to conquer the Big Capitals 'out of the box' (without a patch) under certain circumstances, example you've occupied it for X years or something

                          There is a patch that allows you to occupy all nations ......

                          It is the IGC configuration tool. It lets you pick the nation you want to play (without hacking through files altering them). Only pick one nation and the other 7 are left blank, for some reason this fix's the'cant annex' problem

                            What do these omnipresent acronyms GC and IGC mean anyway?

                              GC is Grand Campaign and IGC is Improved Grand Campaign.


                              Only pick one nation and the other 7 are left blank, for some reason this fix's the'cant annex' problem

                              Before the IGC, you could manually alter game files to make one of the big 7 a non major (thus allowing annexation). The IGC config tool takes care of that. Easily one of the best player mods for any game.
