New Paradox Tinto Game - "Project Caesar"

[Solmyr]

Next they'll be telling us that the trade flow system from EU4 will remain unchanged.

[Josquius]

The mask is slipping. Just call it eu5 already.

On peace for both sides - I can imagine where this causes trouble with the AI. But yes. Would be good to see. Maybe put heavy restrictions on it so you can't give away cores in this way, can only gain cores or minor colonial possessions, and so on?

[Tamas]

I still think there is no confidence in Johan to spend the EU5 brand on this until he has proven it's actually a solid game.

[garbon]

How does this accomplish that? We also all no it is that brand so ruse seems at best paper thin.

[Josquius]

I guess its all marketing people looking at EU4's sales figures.

It can still be called something else: Europa Imperiatoris or somesuch

Maybe but would definitely cause confusion and dilute sales if EU5 separately comes out at some point.

Overall it just strikes me as really weird.

[Tamas]

Well I can't think of any other reason why this isn't yet branded as EU5.

[The Brain]

Maybe moving away from a brand that can be seen as Eurocentric? And Crusader Kings 4 might not be called Crusader Kings 4.

Then just give it a new name already. This we have confidence but also don't have confidence in what is being designed is odd.

[Josquius]

We've all seen the recent paradox interview I suppose about how much of a cluster fuck things have been lately?

Surprised they haven't done this already TBH. Its been clear for a while that CK has attracted a rather unsavoury element to its fanbase.

CK? It was HOI about twenty years ago.

[Valmy]

I was about to say. Before HoI the most we had was weird Euro nationalists trying to relive the quasi-legendary medieval history of the Kingdom of Serbia or whatever. The real nuts didn't show up until HoI came around.

[Josquius]

I dunno. Expected they'd be there with a Ww2 game. I guess Ww2 being such a well known and popular topic meant the scum there were pretty common already.
Also being pro actual nazis... Not much of an issue in the modern day. Most far right folk try to distance themselves from them as hard as they can as they know it's a bad look.
CK meanwhile really feeds the islamophobes. Far more of an active issue today.
Considering the middle ages weren't half so popular either....
 I do think that really brought something other games hadn't yet.
You never heard deus vult pre CK.
