New P'dox affiliated release - For The Glory

[Camerus]

I just transferred the EU2 soundtrack in and use that.  It isn't the same without the old tunes.

Agreed. I was tinkering about buying it, but I'm not so sure now. The soundtrack was an important part of EU2.

But you can put the Whip song and Falalalan back there if you want to, right?

One can on one's own. We can't as the rights owner to Falalalan told us that they will never license any songs to another p'dox product.

There a good reason for that that you know of, Garbon? Seems to me that, if anything, it helped "popularize" that song.

What kind of reason do you think a company might have to make such a statement?

They're run by assholes without business sense?
They don't like selling things?
Paradox scammed them, somehow?
They like being contrarian?
They secretly hate Falalan and don't want anyone to listen to it, ever?

[Josquius]

Investigating the demo and... there doesn't seem to much different from normal EU2, just small improvements.
I am reminded though how sillly EU2 was- Celtic culture for all 'Celtic countries'- , including the Scottish lowlands.
Really makes me wonder why they didn't change to the pop system for EU3.

I think basically every member of the team stems from a modding background, so we've always been in a batch of improvements sort of mentality. The plan is to continue refine and rework game mechanics and release our outputs as patches. We aren't planning to charge for our patches as it isn't as though any of us are in it for money (I mean think of how many years we've been modding for free, for personal enjoyment). And as our game is only available as a digital download, we don't have that issue of players buying a game that they can never update as they don't have access to the internet.

I suppose you could say that we're following along as a souped up version of the old p'dox before expansions started becoming available.

The sensible answer.

Yes. In the same way John McCain popularized Sarah Palin. 

[Pat]

Hey, I really like that song. I mean, for real.

[Faeelin]

Well, now that I've downloaded and played it a bit...

I don't get why they didn't use a new map. Also, di Paradox ask you guys to release it with an underpowered Spain? They never conquer the New World

They never did in any EU version.

[Fate]

Still no map? I don't see a reason to buy this until it's baseline.

[Jaron]

They got my letter asking them not to support shitty Paradox anymore.
