Hints so far:
#1: This will be our first new major IP released since the original Crusader Kings over 10 years ago.
#2: Seven and Three are important numbers.
#3: There will be no stabbing of pigs.
#4: Terrain truly matters in this game.
#5: Game Director is Henrik Fåhraeus, 15 year industry veteran, lead designer behind the Crusader Kings and Hearts of Iron series.
#6: Elections and Technological Development are important parts of the game.

Obviously it is Roman. The seven hills and the Triumvirate. But if it is a new IP it cannot be Rome 2.

Wasn't it called Europa Universalis: Rome or something? Easy to just call that a spin off and call the new one something rome related.

Why would technology and elections be important for that world? :P

Either something about antiquity (ancient Rome), or maybe something Sci-Fi (they reworked the random map generator for EU4, after all ...)?

They also said Rome 2 wasn't in the cards either. ;)

I'd fawn over a Diadochi grand strategy game. Playing the Ptolemies interbreeding themselves into mental retardation and lethal family politics.  :blush:

Huh...well...I guess there were three great kingdoms that came out of that...but what about seven? Were there originally seven contenders? Can I be: Antigonus the One-Eyed?

Chinese strategy game then? The Three Kingdoms period and the The Seven Warring States.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
