Elections though.... :hmm:

Maybe it's about pirates?

Since they recently trademarked the name 'Stellaris', it seems like it's gonna be a space sim.

It'll either be really, really good or really, really bad.  Most likely it won't be any good until Stellaris 3 comes out in 2025.

I would like to see what they could do when they had the chance to create an interesting grand strategy game without having to worry about every mechanic simulating history 100% of the time.

Yeah, not having the gimp some factions and boost others will free them to make a good game.

Cold War game.  Starts in 1947, ends in 2003.

Or we could end up with something bland - devoid of flavor.

WW1


Edit:
Must be, right? Elections in the US, France and UK. 7 Allied powers against 3 German. Terrain is crucial. So is tech development. Cant really simulate trench warfare with todays EU-engine and that is why vicky failed in that aspect, which brings the need for a new engine.

No stabbing of pigs could mean both "no Rome-game" and a reference to the "dolchstoss"-legend.

Cant remember if Johan ever said anything about a ww1-game being his dream though, but its not impossible.

Black dude without any kind of fancy headgear, that rules out several historical scenarios. Might be a space sim indeed.

maybe it's an age-of-sail-game where you need to navigate by star. :p

7 = seven seas
3 = British navy traditions

It all checks out!

Or they are doing something based on Game of Thrones, what with Seven Kingdoms (not sure what 3 would stand for, though).
