Thanks for the link, started reading the army one, read that basic tick won't be days but hours. This is mental. With all the other detail in the game there is no way this is going to work.

It is either going to be a broken mess or a new masterpiece, I don't think you can end up at anything else with this level of ambition.

EU6 is going to be a demon of laplace at this rate

So they've announced they're going to announce it?

I think you are right and I really like that Johan continues to be ambitious.

The economic and population simulation is also much more detailed and the map is crazy. 300+ countries in the HRE.

But I remain cautiously optimistic that it will be a masterpiece. Johan seems to have learned a lot from earlier failures based on his posts.

With the amount of buildings and complex supply chains as well as the army time ticks, it sounds like the game has a different, slower pace than EU4.

I read the Norway dev post. It made me drool a bit.

But the sheer complexity of the systems, it frightens me a bit.

[Josquius]

I guess it's a given they'll finally make use of multiple cores then. I've heard it's a frequent moan about other paradox games that they just don't do this.

Seems I caught the announcement stream by mistake/chance...

Johann aged for sure. Obviously we all did, number V is not making me younger since I played all since EU1, but it's weird to see him with all grey hair.

[crazy canuck]

I had the same reaction - "Man he is getting old" - then I looked in the mirror 

I remember when Johan made a post telling people to stop being critical of Strategy First, because the publisher had given him enough money to make EU1 as a summer job.

Times were simpler then.

not sure if i'll be going to buy this day 1, or even year 1. Haven't really played EU4 in years, and hoi, ck and vicky in over a year...
but it looks nice and interesting

a ERE play (of course)

I will buy it on day one.

[Josquius]

The talk of it being super complex....
It sounds like just the kind of game I wanted 15+ years ago.
But these days I just don't have the mindset to learn such a thing. I never did figure out HOI after 2   and Vic 2 leaves me cold.
I'm skeptical. But will keep an eye on it.
