I feel like it is not China, all major ip's are large in scale, EU,Vic, HOI all encompass the entire world, and CK2 contains most of the "interesting" places in world at the time.
 
i did a tarot reading and this card came up

the mystery intensifies...
 
Whatever it is, I hope it has romance options in it. I played the Mass Effect trilogy and really liked the romances. Especially the sex scenes.

If it doesn't have romance options I prolly won't buy it :oops:


Ok so wait..... let me get this straight.... the hint is about stabbing pigs and your thoughts jump to romance options?
 
It's not-Rome – a game, set in the ancient era, that is not a sequel, but a spiritual successor to Rome.

1. It's a new IP – it's not Rome 2 but a new game that is more similar to CK than EU;
2. 7 and 3 – from 753 BC – the foundation of Rome;
3. Lack of pig stabbing – there probably is no stability, as it's an EU concept, absent in other games, notably CK.
 
It's a reference to pig stabbing in EU: Rome. Muslims don't eat pigs. Muslims were part of the Migration era and the fall of Rome. So of course this hint is about the Dark Ages! A new Rome game would need pig stabbing!
Muslims were neither a part of the migration era nor a part of the fall of Rome...
 
Muslims were deeply involved in the fall of the Roman Empire :p

(Well, the half of it that died last anyawy)

If it points to Rome, than 7 and 3 would more likely be either from 7th century BCE to 3rd century CE, which would be a bit random, but the second option is more likely. From 7 kings of Rome to the first Triumvirate, thus meaning classical Roman Republic.

Still I don't see it as realistic option, since oht of three hints one is against, one can be explained in many other ways and one is inconclusive.
 
Why do everyone think 3 and 7 are dates? ;)

Muslims were neither a part of the migration era nor a part of the fall of Rome...

The rise of Islam began 623. Migration era. The end date would be most likeley 768, the start date of CK2. So of xourse they are part of it. And they are part of the Fall of Rome. They conquered huge parts of the Roman Empire in Africa and the East ;) They defeated the Visigoths too in Spain.
 
If it's been in development since 2013 and it's only in Alpha than it's really gonna suck. Average development time for a AAA game is 3 years. Average development time for a Paradox game is around 2 years.

Eh... 2 years? Look at HoI4... It was announced January 2014. So it was at least in development since 2013. And it reaches Alpha in the middle of this year. So... Runemaster started devlopment in 2013 and reached Alpha in the middle of this year too. Who is the difference?

Well, we have roman numbers and a little something that looks like Chinese. So I'd say it points towards China during the Roman era :p
 
wouldn't that kill when the world stop making sense though though?:eek:
It would not. WtWSMS is an overhaul mod for CK2, and unrelated to separate game projects. Also, I think the other people in the team share the idea that it would be better to have a game made by the professional paradox. And then, nothing prevents me from modding that game onwards in case I disagree on some things... ;)

Alpha =\= Beta. HoI4 is in beta stage right now. It's also not 2014 anymore :p

My mind always jumps to romance options. What's wrong with that? :rolleyes:
