Next Period to be Covered by a Paradox Strategy Game?

[celedhring]

I still play classic Civ from time to time, for old times' sake. It's pretty fun and the base gameplay holds up well, I believe.

I'd love a CK-like game that covered the Hellenistic period through the fall of the Roman Empire. However, the "never will happen" game of my dreams would be one set in the Late Bronze-Iron ages. Playing the Assyrians 

Ever play the old Avalon Hill board game Civilization?

There's a fun game to be had in that time period.

There was a Gods and Kings mod for Civ 5 called Anno Domini that was superb. I am waiting for the Brave New World update of it.

I voted Bronze Age, but you know, I'd actually like to see a 4x space game come from them.

I thought Incan torpedo boats was bad. Space Sumerians would blow IMHO.

Ditto.

I dunno - there are a decent number of space 4x games out there these days.

Hardly anybody makes historical games like Paradox does.

I was thinking their experiment in randomly generated maps for the EUIV expansion might be the test for a space themed grand strategy game.

I would really like to see that myself.  A lot of their game mechanics are good, they just fall apart when compared to what we already know happened in real life.  In a game with no base for comparison they might work much better.

Space Sweden will conquer all.

Personally, I haven't seen a 4X space game I liked since MOO2, so I wouldn't mind Paradox taking a crack at one.  But while I agree with the sentiment that a lot of their mechanics are good, I kind of think that 4X space games work best as turn-based, and Johann has too much of a hard-on for RTS to go that route.

True.

Wow, why did I not know about this.

Excellent link, thanks Norgy
