New P'dox affiliated release - For The Glory

[Zoupa]

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.

I have no moral qualms torrenting games I already paid for.

[Fate]

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 

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.

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

I like being straight jacketed through hisorical events. I find the EU2 map, especially when modded like in Mymap, to be more asthetically pleasing than anything EU3 has been able to produce.

Legos versus realism, imo...

True, mymap looks better.

I'm not blasting the project, but it stinks of one last cash grab for all us eu2 fanbois. It's the main reason we're all here in the first place.

I'll probably get it anyways, but as I said, not for more than 10 bucks.

So people who misunderstand things now use YouTube to channel their lack of knowledge. Interesting.

It's not fair to compare modders work with vanilla.
This would be more like it:

Except in this case we are talking about a Mod being released by Paradox.

A release that will make garbon independently wealthy.

How about:

I really like that Hand-Drawn Mapmod for EU3, it is actually what made me buy the game.

That doesn't sound like Swedish!

How about:

I rarely play on a terrain mode. I find the political map mode to be the most informative and immersive. Regardless, in both EU3 screenshots, the map looks like it's made of legos. Look at MyMap - it actually resembles what we think Europe looks like in real maps. It's crisp. In EU3 we get horribly large triangles to approximate borders. It looks silly and speaks poorly on Paradox, especially given what EU3's predecessor engine is capable of.

HOI3 seems to have finally gotten the equation right. It's still uses the same EU3 triangle system, yet they're sufficiently small that at a normal zoom level it looks and feels like a real map!

[Josephus]

So, I take it this will be a stand alone game, right...since my EU2 disc has long been lost.

Yeah, I read somewhere that they'll ship it as complete.

we should reward his initiative.

Perhaps it sounds better in French?

Actually, yes, it sounds better in French.
