Augustus - Teaser #8 - 3rd of August 2015

[Time Emperor]

If it is a space game, I know what the first mod will be.

Space Rome

 

[Arcvalons]

I guess if it's something like Crusader Kings II in Space, with feudalism and Dune and WH40K inspiration, I won't be as dissapointed for the lack of Rome.

 

[Kokomorari]

SPACE

And while I'd love a new Rome, I'm very stoked for this.

 

[mrmastro]

It looks like a space game unfortunately.

But would PDX give us a so obvious teaser

 

[Cuthuthulu]

Ultimately I don't care what era this is as long as it's fun to play, detailed, and captures the feeling of the time period well.

 

[Beagá]

SPACE

And while I'd love a new Rome, I'm very stoked for this.

The terrain and sky all look like Earth. I dunno why the crazy obsession with a sci-fi space based game.

 

[TheRomanRuler]

Stellaris Universalis, lead the forces of the Emperor against the enemies of mankind. Purify the Heretic and Xenos with righteous fire.

Oh wait, I got a bit eager there. But it would be amazingly fun with a character based game in a WH40k setting, I'll go back to my corner and dream about that as well

Principality of Ikea or PI for short on crusader against Extremely Awful also known as EA that has allied with evil forces of Bugisoft.

space game?!?! no! no! no!

a clear sky behind him means there is not a space game. The game is set on earth.
No beard... mmmmm

I thought about a Greek era game.. Sparta, Athens and Persia!!!! But no beard....mmmm
Egyptians?!

 

[Spartanlemur]

I'm not racist, but it's almost certainly a space game.

 

[wolfing]

It's a Doctor Who GSG. Basically you enter your Tardis and when you exit the game picks a random year, and depending on the year it fires up EU:Rome, CK2, EU4, Victoria 2 or HoI3. Hell, bonus points for when the random # gives a negative value, it fires up Magicka 2.

 

[Gamer31133]

The game project is code named Augustus so it could be a game about rome during the reign of Augustus.

 

[gnome109]

A successor to Star Wars: Empire at War,

 

[TheAtreides84]

Anyone seeing some similarity?

 

[grandad1982]

I'd be happy with a Classical era game or a character driven space game to be honest. I'm excited whatever it turns out to be as I trust the PDS team to make games I enjoy!

Having said this I would prefer a space game if only to see the Rome crowd drown in their own tears!

I was thinking about "Augustus" as title. We have a huge empire in this game.

 

[Voldurak78]

If there were portraits I hope they will be more like CK2 than this, I really don't like the "cartoonish" effect

 

[Wulfburk]

Did anyone talk about...

SPACE?!?!?

 

[gnome109]

I was thinking about "Augustus" as title. We have a huge empire in this game.

Also this would be easier as the developers would not have to create an enitire fantasy world, with lore etc.

 

[HREmperor]

That art style just looks Space game to me. Hmmm, will be interesting seeing the Paradox GS approuch.
The haircut doesent look very ancient, but even though it might be a hill from the 7 hills of Rome in the background, but the charcter doesen't look like a roman at all.

Well according to the Iberian Portrait pack, Paradox has very weird ideas about what southern Europeans look like.

The horizontal lines feel a lot more space age than classical to me (like a computer monitor or something) which is a shame, as I was really hoping for an antiquity game

It does look like a computer monitor, but an 80s one. Why do Paradox think our monitors will get worse again in the future? *sighs*
