So is this the next generation of Paradox games?

If this is the next generation does that mean you're done making expansions for vicky 2 and hoi3?

Let's be honest. Vikky 2 isnt great. I wouldnt waste time on it.

What I want (of course I want EU4 the most) is an expansion to CK2 that is packed with features. Also I want Rome 2 but set earlier so it isnt inevitable rome will dominate

Next generation..we will see. But i hoped that Paradox would leave the province-based map system behind them...maybe EU5

Paradox AI is 100 times better than anything that their competators have done. The diplomatic AI in the last EU3 add-on is, frankly, amazing.

The fact that their AI, specially in EU3, is much better than the AI in some Total Wars games (where there is pretty much no intelligence in AI) and such "competitors", still doesnt mean that its good, and i strongly believe this needs to be pointed out. It needs to be refined and made more competitive. Whats the use of AI thats good in diplomatic matters, when it cannot maintain its economy (by 1600s it will have over 15 inflation for example), or if it moves 100 units into a single province (attrition = WE), or it only takes 1 unit to prevent 30 AI's units from assaulting fort (this is finally fixed thank God), or it attacks other countries without CB and so on.

Yes I agree AI is much more important than map changes (specially since I and most people I know play in the political map anyway, but everybody plays the same AI)
