the eu4 battle system in a vicky 2 world? Hell no that would never do it right.

and "like MoteE, which failed, but for the civil war!"

i dont see how thats an advertisement point

"i want to play tyhe ACW in eu4" then mod eu4. asking paradox to make an entire game for a 4ish year war that wasnt WW2 and is only relevant to america is stupid

I'm not asking, I would just like a game like that. It would place from the 1850s to 1900.
 
This can only be done through an enhanced March of the Eagles type of game. I'd love it personally.

why not just make vicky 3 then?

Because it specializes on this conflict.

I will repeat my thoughts. If it had been presented here in a good way and had tons of replayability, perhaps as a mini-game with no support, zero DLC and a really light engine that is cheap. A mobile game perhaps? But not Historical Grand Strategy by PDS. Too costly, too unpopular, the other mini-games failed and nobody over at paradox interested ("a champion"). You should have posted this in the PI as a publisher forum, not here. A direct combat game with this as a theme would sell better (Magicka: Civil War or something), or a city builder during this timeframe or something.

I also repeat myself, i'm not asking them to make it, i just would like it. I like the idea of the ACW in EU4 graphics.

Who do you want to do it? PDS?

If it can be done like EU, it doesn't matter.

Therefor, it would fit better as a PS4, X-Box, mobile game or whatever.

Playing a Realtime Grand Strategy on a Console or phone. What?

Yeah, the extrenly little scope, unpopularity of the concept and cheap budget is more oriented towards that kind of customer.

The point of my idea is that it's EU graphics.
 
It doesn't matter. It will not be made. But if you want to fantasize about it then go ahead and continue doing so.

Currently fantasizing at max capacity.
 
Anything's a better idea than HOI4, though I'm not sure why one would want to play as Britain in an ACW game.
But PI has decided that innovation and creativity are not profitable enough for them. Its time to just accept the endless sequels.
 
Still think this would be better as like, an expansion to Empire: TOTAL WAR. Like the Napoleonic one that was better received than the main game. Too bad that ship has long since sailed.

Yeah MotB and Sengoku did so well... Sengoku could be explained with that the target audience just wasn't there but MotB is set in the Napoleonic wars which was much bigger than the US civil war.

and it would die because it does. MOtE with the ever popular napoleon didnt work, why would a game focused on an even less important event work?

also, if you dont want them to make it, WHY ARE YOU SPAMMING THEIR FORUM WITH YOUR WHINING?

Go elsewhere with your "i want a ACW GS title" then. maybe somebody stupid will even make you one so you can be oh so happy and we can continue to not give a crap.

This was perhaps a bit too harsh. It is a bad concept OK, but he is not spamming and it is not stupid either.
