I remember asking for a blizzard-like into and ending video... and I shocked to learn that it would cost to develop more than the game itself.

However the 50 seconds announcement video is cute enough and I suppose relatively cheap....

Any chance to have something like that in game? And preferably at the end game???

You know whot could make a cute ending video? The camera skips to your capital and then slowly zooms out showing the extent of yours and everyone else's nations.

That being said I wouldn't want them to make it. It wouldn't be worth the time and effort.

This is what I have in mind... are you sure it isnt worth it???

Finishing the game with one country and starting over with a new one... is a challenging decision .... I could the inspiration of a video like that....

Are 2 minutes of avideo everyone will be sick off after seeing it for an n-th time worth not having some game element that would took equal tiime and effort (e.g. more events)? No.
 
Tha same can be said for the trailers....

By the same thinking we shouldnt have trailer videos on the announchment day...

Besides... as I said most people would do the trouble of watching an inspiring video once they restart empire building from square one...

I actually agree with that to a certain extent. But the trailers increase the odds of people buying the game and the game being profitable and in turn increase the odds of the series being continued in the future. So they are a sort of necessary evil.

And no, they wouldn't. That's why games that have intros either give an option to skip it or get bashed by the community and then people find a way of removing the intro. Especially true for a text-based intro.
