Isn't the agceep free?

What's the difference with this thing? (honest question)

I assume the major feature will be the map that the AGC-EEP crew have delayed for two (?) years. I suppose this provides a better explanation of why it was delayed so long when suitable alternatives such as MyMap and Mad King James' original maps were available for modding in 2006. Frankly all EU2 really needed, beyond AI, was an increase in provinces. I'm not sure if the game will hold quite the same appeal in 2009.

False. That will still be made available for free. It'd be quite of rude of me to take so much time and then say, "oh, y'all gotsta pay for that" no? ;)

@Zoupa - Yes the AGCEEP is free and is just being tossed into FTG as a bonus (sort of like when the AGC and some other mods were tossed in a eu2 bundle, back in the day).  I can't say much as p'dox has us on a developer diary sort of scheme, but it basically boils down to a lot of code re-works to provide different features and bugfixes. Tooling around under the hood.

I will say that I am eager for the game, but the title is a bit silly.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Perhaps it sounds better in French?

Por la Gloire?  (my best French in action)

Still sounds silly.

They should have named it:

For the Win!
A Paradox product or "how we're still milking our cash cow from 8 years ago"
Winner of THE grumbler point.

If the forum were up, you could ask on there about the name. I don't remember why our lead chose it. :blush:

What are you talking about, boo? I wasn't making no monies 8 years ago.

It seems a bit silly to release an expansion pack that consists mostly of free stuff, a full 8 years post release, and with a whole new iteration of the game already out  :huh:

I don't see how this could be successful, unless it's around 10 bucks, max.

The map bro. I'll gladly fork up 40$ or whatever it is for a well supported version of MyMap with the current library of AGCEEP events.

Well, my EU2 disks are corrupted and playing EU1 a few months ago mainly made me jones for EU2 so I could see paying 20.

Why not play EU3 instead though, if it'sgoing to retail at 40$?
