Dear fellow connoisseurs of truth,
I think I cracked the code.

So Generalist Gaming in his most recent map painting video on youtube showed the following map.

Note that the order in which the towns are aligned resemble the well known constellation of the great wagon.

The very same constellation also appears on the Swedish coat of arms as seen here:

Coincidence? I think not!
According to Wikipedia the Swedish coat of arms was adopted on the 17. November 1905.

So that leads to the obvious conclusion that EUV will release on same date 120 years later:
17. November 2025

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I rest my case.

Ask your seven year old nephew when EU5 releases then, I will accept any answer from any source right now!
For me, everything points to a "release date reveal" on June 19 as the unuploaded sixth video, with a September or October release (with inbetween finishing the tintotalk, map feedback and flavour threads, and hopefully a dev clash)

Though that would of course mean that the release version has to be finalised for heavy QA like right now, which it doesn't seem to be, so probably I'm wrong :p
 
Yeah I know, I was doing the meme

And I just realised that @Grok is an actual forum member who had one post and hasn't been seen in five years
ikr??? Like I thought that he was some special character who's utilising their apecial name but NO, they never replied anything more and I feel down about it lmao
 
I just recorded a video in which I prefaced that the first part of it would be me complaining and giving a timestamp for people to skip to if that part didnt interest them...

It ended up being 21:49

The video is 1h long...

My throat hurts

It better not be a one hour long video on why the Greek Pretenders somehow deserve to be called the Rome even though we all know the only nation with a rightful claim to that title is the Irish minor of Hy Many for reasons so obvious and simple I have no need to write them here
