For those of you who like to make wild theories, here's the disambiguation page for the word "Augustus" on wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_(disambiguation)

Personally I think that luxury Italian ocean liners are a good bet for the subject of the next game.

The following in the list could be confirmed:
1. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Game (one of the characters is named Augustus)
2. A game involving Augustus Island
3. A boxing simulator (this is clearly in honor of Emanuel Augustus)
4. A game involving the Aussies (this is named after Mount Augustus and Lord Augistus Loftus)
5. This involves Harry Potter (this is named after one of the characters)
Or... This is the first Street Fighter game to be in the grand strategy genre!
The plot is about the great Holy Australasian Empire's (ruled by a coalition of kangaroos and kiwis) invasion of the Augustus Island campus of Hogwarts after the whole world imposes a chocolate embargo in the aftermath of the great milk war to limit the last remaining super power to deprive it of it's chocolate milk and cookies. Why invade this random island? Because it is home to the world's largest chocolate factory with the only source of a rare chocolate called the "Triple-chocolate." Your mission is to defend the island from the bloodthirsty boxing Kangaroos. You only brought an ocean liner full of mushrooms and your boxing gloves, but you forgot your wand. God speed my friends and give 'em hell!
 
A late Imperial Rome game would be much more preferred than an antiquity game.

I can't think of all that many games that are about late Imperial Rome, and it would be more relevant to games like CK2.
 
I just hope it's not another Sengoku or March of The Eagles. That is to say I hope it's not just a lite version of another game they will produce later. I'm a huge paradox fan and I generally think they've been going from strength to strength, especially in the last few years. I like most of their decisions regarding sequels and gameplay changes. I love their DLC policy, it's good for everyone, including those who don't buy it. I think their involvement with their fans is good. They are my favourite developers by far. That said I don't like these "feeler" or lite games that they introduce before bigger games such as Sengoku was to CKII and March of the Eagles was to EU IV.

Introducing Project Augustus, Blitzkrieg, a brand new war game in which you can only play a European country in 1940 - of which only three are actually viable choices to win the game. Unlike HoI4, which will have deep diplomatic, economic and political mechanics, Blitzkrieg will only involve controlling tank divisions and using them to paint the map. It's great for multiplayer.
 
I want it to be Rome 2. I hope it is Rome 2.

assuming it is Rome 2, what time frame would people wish to cover?

Ideally, from the start of Classical Greece to the end of the reign of PRINCEPS TRAIANVS (greatest extent of the Roman Empire). That way we would be able to see the Hellene states in their glory days and even "Alexander the Great". Or the same time period as the EU: Rome game, either way it's fine for me.

I'm really not interested on the time period after the death of TRAIANVS, that's when the decline of the Empire started (entering its final stages with the reign of Constantine), in my opinion at the very least.

It is not Rome 2.

You know, just because it is not a sequel, that doesn't mean it can't be a new IP. And if they do indeed make a game that focuses on Ancient Rome then it will most likely be a new IP.

ROFL, them should set up an automated hotline or a popup window which tell everyone that Rome 2 is not coming.

I'm guessing something like this...

Code: 
country_event = {
	id = no_its_not_rome_ii
	title = no_its_not_rome_ii.name #Obligatory Rome II Dev Denial
	desc = no_its_not_rome_ii.desc #Someone is hoping our newest game is Rome II, time to upset loyal fans!
	picture = paradoxtroll_eventPicture
	
	#is_triggered_only = yes
	
	trigger = {
		OR = {
			tag = PI
			tag = PDS
		}
		NOT = { has_global_flag = pds_rome_ii_announced }
		NOT = { has_idea = rome_ii_will_be_great }
		any_courtier = {
			has_character_flag = hopeful_for_rome_ii
			luck = no
		}
	}
	
	option = no_its_not_rome_ii.a #kitties will cry tonight!
		any_courtier = {
			limit = {
				has_character_flag = hopeful_for_rome_ii
				NOT = { trait = patient }
			}
			opinion = {
				who = ROOT
				name = paradox_denied_rome_ii_again
				duration = -1
			}
		}
		add_country_modifier = {
			name = unrest_lack_of_rome_ii
			duration = 666
		}
	}
}

And I just got that opinion modifier :angry:

I guess Paradox will just put down your tiny rebellion with a doom-stack.
