But which will you play first?? Tough choice for me but probably CK.:)

Definitely CK for me - I'm much more interrested in that period of the history :)

I too am more interested in the CK era but I have been playing almost that era for over a year now and a more modern era would be a nice change. But of course I will end up playing both - probably CK more then HOI.:)

This is a dream come true, I believe in Santa Claus again :D

So do I but I hope I don't have to wait for him to bring me these games.:D
 
Curse You Paradox!!

Well, at least that is what my wife is thinking....If you gents feel any sudden pains, it may be from her voodoo dolls :D.

First EU1, then EU2, and now this? Oh well, I guess I'll just have to move the computer into the proverbial "doghouse" because I apparently will be living there real soon!
 
I am equally more interested in CK, particularly as finally Paradox is introducing the sought-after dynastic model. Also, I wonder if Pardox will avoid bogging HOI down with tactical micromangement. It appears to me that they are compelling the player to micromanage all fronts, as (if think) Johan said he loved sending in the airforce hours before the land forces struck. Such Blitzkrieg detail will bogg the game down and I would have preferred a tactical HQ AI or so take these tasks away from the player, leaving him free to concentrate on the broad strategic picture. Micromanagement would kill the game, given its RT character. Then it should be better turn-based.

Guess you'll have to play on the slowest speed.:D
 
Oh I cannot wait for this one! I voted for this in the medieval / Roman / post-Napoleon poll long ago. I'm most pleased of all that both the medieval and Roman games will be coming out.

Maybe we can work out a deal where we pay Paradox in advance to be able to beta test. And so they would have some cash up front they could use during development. :D

Please continue to give us some previews along the way. I want to see how close this comes to the game I was (someday) going to develop. I did get some of the basic ideas down on paper (dynastic marriages, ruler characteristics which affect everything from battle to taxation to relations with the Church - and how the characteristics of both parents affect those of the children ... you can leave the government of your country to a lieutenant while you go off crusading - with some effect on the possible loyalty and less control over tax rates, etc. while you are not around ...). Of course Paradox is creating a broader game than I had thought about. And given history, they will pull it off quite well. :cool:

If beta testing is targeted for July, does that mean release date target is Christmastime?

Thinking about a Prince John/King Richard scenerio? Does sound interesting and should be implemented IMHO.
 
This is the best news game-wise I've received since they announced that there'd be a CM 4.... :)

I'm deep into reading books about the crusades, about medieval history and all that. I understand that some would prefer the period of HOI, but to me WWII isn't all that interesting game-wise.

The feudal system seems to be implemented in a nice manner, although parts of Europe did not have a feudal system until very late in this period.

Grand, Paradox. Just grand! When I eventually tire of EU II, I have something to keep me busy later. :)
