I guess one is Rome II and the other a space 4X game.

Nero?  But I wanted to be Tiberius.

That must be armstong. Both Adolf and Lance only had one ball.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Rome II with a CK2 character system could be awesome. And make the Imperial period worthwhile, trying to hold the Empire together against everyone's ambitions.

hmm, as nice as CK2s character system is it remains a map based conquer 'em up. For an ancient world game to truly work you need  a move away from the all dominant map really. But to what I do not know. A secondary Rome map is one idea that comes to mind for me but only useful for very selective situations. hmm.....

Completely agree.

The "Nero" game could be a new genre for Paradox--a murder mystery game.   :D

Wouldn't the ancient world make a lot more sense as a conquer em up?

I don't think the names have much bearing on what the game is called.  Wasn't the Senguko called "project Serpent"?  It's probably something like "Gettysburg: Armored Warfare 2"
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Well, for Nero the hints are:
- There will be fire & darkness.
- Is this a troll attempt ?

For Armstrong the hints are:
- We will have ships!
- There will be a rocket on a loading screen.


As someone on the forums pointed out, these were unused P'dox domains when the hints popped up:
