Clausewitz engine can into space?

How much money you have is not a self-imposed restraint. At this point I can only conclude your English is insufficient to carry on this conversation.

Are you mentally capable enough to post on forums?

Altough probably won't be in the next "wave" of PDS games, this is good news nonetheless.

CK2 was Version 2 and EU4 was Version 2.5. Could be.

Why the hell would they improve the engine and then not use it for their next games? These games are the reason they're working on the engine in the first place.

Comment I wrote shamelessly pasted from a /r/paradoxplaza thread:

would want an intermediary game, from east-vs-west to this new space 4x, where you would play a corporation on earth, from 1991 to 2112. You start off slow, building up industry, securing good relations with fellow corporations. As governments begin to lose authority thanks to climate change, economic slowdown, and decreased stability, more options open up to you. You can have private armies, secure mineral rights and enforce governmental policies through warfare. You can have corporate wars over resource-rich regions, with the end-goal, of course, being one of the dominant mega-corporations and building a space station at one of the lagrange points, or in a geosynchronous/lunar orbit.

At that point, you could take control of one of these corporations in the space 4x game, and begin colonization efforts. slowly expanding through the solar system, the development of warp drive technology (The alcubierre drive works!) allows for expansion outwards. I'm thinking Babylon-5 style rotating sections on ships, with zero-g being a cost-efficient, if uncomfortable option.

The kicker? Converters, from CK2 all the way through to the 4x game. Being able to play from 876 to the 2200s and beyond would quite literally make for the most epic gameplay experience mankind had ever devised. Starting as Svijod, you can form scandinavia, and secure the norse religion. In EUIV, you spread your influence across the world, making the Indians and North Americans worship Odin. By Victoria 3, The major factions have formed, with Viking industries powered by the massive resources available. Come HoI 4, a massive war erupts between the remaining abrahamic holdouts and the true worshippers of the All-father. In East-vs-West, the Chinese, long Scandinavian allies, have settled into a cold war with them, having expanded their hold over Japan, South-East Asia, and Oceania. The spheres of influence have divided over Viking Democracy, and Chinese Monarchy. By the time of the Corporatocracy, in the late 90's, Holmsvik Industries has become a premier electronics manufacturer. As Scandinavia collapses under severe internal pressures, Scandinavian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern Corporations expand their influence globally. Holmsvik is the first to build a massive space complex, manufacturing electronics products in zero-g. The vikings are the first to colonize Mars, and devote their massive funding to fund the Nidhogg FTL drive.

Shameless is an understatement...

Eh, I didn't feel like making a new write-up for something already on this topic.

Now that I think about it, it literally sounds like Civilization Universalis. Just 2 franchises merged together.
