I agree. Ok, I know that neither Victoria nor CK will show up in Romania one day after the release, but at least I know that I'll do my best to locate it on the net and purchase it in a week or two. CK will have to wait (even if the period looks very nice and the concept is quite intelligent). But with bits of information, I think I'll read some of the reviews or ask some members who already paid for it.
 
I'll buy CK as soon as I can, just to try it. Unfortunately, that might not be right when it comes out (damn my local bestbuy).

I also will buy Victoria as soon as it comes out, and those'll be all the PC games I buy this year. I don't buy very many, preferring to replay my older ones.
 
A lot of people have been of the opinion that if silence from snowball/paradox means the game is out sooner, then we'll suffer the silence. I too was of that opinion.

But come on now, isn't this getting a bit ridiculuous?

I have changed my opinion. I don't care if it means they have to take time away from the development. I don't care how freaking beautiful/complicated/in-depth the game is going to be. Someone take five damn minutes away from crunching out code and let us know (in CONCRETE details) exactly what we are holding our breath for.

And neither I nor anyone else on these boards cares if you're ready for beta or not or if it will reflect what we (maybe someday) will buy if the game is ever released, give us a godforsaken screenshot already!

Patric and Johan, your company has built up a lot of goodwill with me and a lot of other historically-inclined hacks ever since EUI. Do not burn it here unnecessarily.

I agree with wheels, this is not the frigging Manhattan Project.

It would be sufficient to get some info from the developer here on the official site.

I don't care if the game doesn't come out for another year if that's what's necessary, but some kind of status update, even an "hello we are still alive" would be nice.
 
Just a a summary of some feature to look foward to, even without a screenshot, would be cool.
 
I see no reason in the world why we can't see some shots of the bare map. Obviously that was finalised long ago and we wouldn't need to see any imperfections that may remain in the interface. Not of course that I'd mind seeing the interface in its rough and ready state or just SOMETHING new to give us something to chew over.
 
Agreed

I agree, something stinkith...I especially agree with the comments about how CK designer not being allowed to post here negitavely reflects our sentiments regarding this game. I have come here in one form or another since EU was put out on shelves and watched the progression of CK until the past 3 months or so it appeared we were getting just enough to keep the rioting masses happy, a tidbit here, another there.
Many games out there, and many to be released, if a gaming company acts as if its product is a secret project people will lose interest and buy something from a company that does give out information on its product to keep people interested in it. I have begun to tilt in other directions and if CK does come out in the short term unless I have something to base my decision to buy it I will not purchase it until i've seen a few reviews to base that decision on. Since launch revenues seem to be so important to a gaming companys viability and a products rep this can be VERY BERY bad! for a company to toy with in respect to stifiling information on a product. Methinkith Paradox better get CK designers back on these boards posthaste to give us information that seems to be forthcoming on all the other products they are pitching...just my 2 bits of warning, lots of games, many with mucho grande information on them UP FRONT. Paradox should think about that.
 
HMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm HHHHHHmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Hate to be a horses ass on this comment but I can't resist, see this game has been in development for quite some time. Second many game companys release information during the dev process to keep the masses content and interested, these comments such as the one quoted below simply reduce my interest meter another notch, further it dos'nt adversely affect my sentiments towards Snowball, but rather towards Paradox. Once again I say, get the CK developer Sergi back on this board so we can talk to him directly about the game. The "we will get back to you when its ready" stuff is for the birds. Seems to me Paradox should explain why Sergi was told not to post here to begin with if you want us to retain positive sentiments towards Paradox in this matter. Case in point you can check out Spartans map already fer crying out loud, and thats to be released next year...

The game is in development and as soon as it is ready for Beta we will let you know. We want the game to be "right" before that happens.

I think it ws because all the things Sergeri posted here proved to discourage us even further, when the failed to deliver...
 
Well, as you all know development has drawn out a lot on this project and that is not the intention of either Paradox or Snowball. We hope to be able to show you screens and give you updated information soon but I can't say when as there are still things to finish.

On Sergei not posting here: We asked Sergei to not post dev updates that we had not agreed on. He is not prohibited to post but we want to discuss game details before they are posted. That's all.

Have faith, there will be a CK and it will be great! It may have taken a little too much time in development but hopefully there won't be too much waiting left (compared to what has passed already).

I think a screenie on a sliders, a map picture from an area between norway, iceland and scotland or just some other unimportend thing could make us happy for a few week.

'oh, look at the nice blue color on the water!'
'do you think all sea squares will look the same?!'

just anything would make us happy...

When the game reaches the stage where Victoria was for its first screenshot, we will post a screenshot.

O.K. I'm satisfied. Thanks Patric.:) :cool:
 
No idea why people keep thinking it`s Paradox`s fault that the game has not hit the shelves yet (or about little info available thingie)

Yes Paradox is taking a part in the development of CK, but it`s ultimately Snowball that is doing it.

Remember that CK and HOI were announced at the same time, HOI was released and now we have more information about Victoria (which is at beta-stage and will be released months before CK)

I doubt Paradox is very pleased with the snail-pace development of CK either, but we`ll see if all the waiting was worth it once the game is released :)

Good to hear that CK is still alive and kicking. That's all I need to know for now :)
