The game should have piracy protection that if alerted to potential piracy only allows you to play as the Barbary Pirates.

Oh, and you should need an internet connection at all times to play single-player.

And make it Steam-only, nobody likes GamersGate...
 
I demand that PI stop going against the flow of the industry! Everybody knows that the business practices of the big guys are really doing the industry a service and making them alot of long-term profits, just look at EA and DS3!11 ;P

EDIT: Also PI are stupid, they need a "wider audience appeal" because that has really worked for other franchises
 
I want a first persion swordster as a byzantine soldier who kills alone 1000000 turks and latin crusaders and then revolts against byzantium and all alone becomes emperor of byzantium :p

We can put that in the Universalis Soldier DLC.
 
Eastern Europe needs far more provinces, at least double or triple it has now.

Nonsense. Eastern European names are hard to pronounce and the western audience doesn't know their geography there. Just have Poland as one big province (maybe with Danzig or something as a smaller one) and then we'll be done.


When a battle takes place, there should be a 3D animation of some warriors fighting, and you could use quicktime events (and perks, perks, perks!) to control it. And it needs to have high-quality motion blur and fog, which are both things which everybody notices and admires, especially people who aren't journalists or high-spec PC builders. And screen jam. Lots of goey red screen jam.


Every playable country needs a pre-rendered intro with a gruff voiceover, along with real-time rendered leader portraits and cities.


Also, an online trading card game should be released for EUIV.

I have a better idea: three provinces for all Eastern Europe - Poland, Balkans and Russia (that could be named "Siberia in Europe").
I like your idea in principle, but it wouldn't reflect the importance and strength of Poland and Russia during EU3/4 times. How about: 1 province for France, Spain, Italy, Britain, then 2 or 3 for Germany (due to its importance as HRE), and around 50 for Poland and Russia each? You can't neglect some cities in Eastern Europe just because they are small villages now; they were important forts back then that were crucial to the history of Europe.
