It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I love Space 4x games, but it's a pretty crowded arena right now. I agree with CC that if they implement some of the CK/EU4 mechanics they can certainly achieve something pretty distinct, though.

Mildly interested.

Well, press conference will be live on Twitch at 9pm CET tonight; I suppose we'll hear more then.

Though Paradox may need to work on its OpSec to keep their unannounced game from leaking.

If they manage to make this a character-drive game (so more CK2 than EU4) this could be quite interesting and break the mold of a typical 4X space game. None of the screenshots seems to suggest this, though.

Well, that was one piece of graphics taken out of context. The full screenshots that were leaked show a standard 4X space UI (compare those to CK2 UI screenshots, where you can immediately notice the game is character driven).

Great, I haven't cared about a space game since Dune 2.  <_<

On the other hand, if PI wants to try something new I'd prefer them fucking up something I don't care about and then getting it right with a late antiquity game later.

Yeah, they really do need to do an antiquity game correctly.  That or push CK II back another century and let me be Mohammed PBUH.

Not history? Then do not care. I prefer my non-history in RPG form.

Doesn't CK2 with all expansions pretty much have all the mechanics you need? Republican families and elections, tribes and hordes, client kingdoms, founding new colonies holdings, religions including patron gods, .... is there an antiquity mod in the works?

Not really a lot of information, could be interesting but sounds kind of boring.
