The screenshots look really underwhelming, it looks exactly like CK2 but with EU3 interface. I really hope Paradox innovates the interface to make it better, prettier and faster to use.
I'm not sure about the quest system, but it can't be worse than EU3's mission system. IF I GET "MAKE BOHEMIA VOTE FOR US" OR "NAVAL RACE AGAINST ENGLAND" (WHEN MY NAVAL FORCELIMIT IS 2) ONE MORE FREAKING TIME... Yeah I hope the game will still have the same fun map painting properties, but with more fun gameplay systems and cooler battles.
Also more personality for rulers is amazing. Thank you for learning from CK2, Paradox. Just put a ton of effort into that. Great men should also have personalities and interactions imo. Maybe like recruiting great men similar to how Descartes was brought to the court of Sweden historically.

I'm guessing that's because they took the EU3 map, stuck it through a CK2-ifier and added in some extra bits to make it look nice as a prototype to build on.
I'm hoping there will be a serious increase in the number of provinces over EU3. When we have mods that give Wales 6 provinces in CK2 going back to 2 for EU4 will be hard. If I had my way the world would be based off using the Matter of Britain mod as a scale to build off. That level of huge world detail.
Of course people will just say "but then it'll slow down too much, there'd be too much going on for computers to handle", and I say "technology doesn't advance when you build within the confines of what's possible". If they build it huge they will have to find ways to make it work better, even if it's telling customers to buy 10 computers and link them together. It shall be done.
I have the weirdest boner now! 
How come I cant see the report anymore??? Or is it my crappy connection ?

PLEASE PLEASE
Work on the NETCODE. Make it better, more reliable, stable, etc etc. I want to be able to play this outside of LANs.

Didn't they announce that Manga Mundi was cancelled? as for EU IV, well it will be interesting to see which areas they improve and make more detailed imo
@ number of provinces: Less is often more, I think the number of provinces in EU3 is fine (except in certain parts of the map, namely China and India), I think it would be more important to have more meaningful ways to effect your provinces.
Super impressed, and more than a little shocked that this isn't Rome 2. Which is actually a good thing.
Well, the game has clearly been in development for far more than a month. So they should have postponed a game already in development, completely changing their business plan, to avoid "speculation" about Magna Mundi, which was just a niche project? I don't think it's a good idea...
EDIT: it's possible that there is a relationship between MM and EUIV though.. I think that Paradox may have thought that publishing a modified version of EUIII after the announcement of EUIV (which should be published in a bit more than a year) wouldn't have been a good idea, expecially if MM was actually a sub-par game, thus possibly damaging the brand. This may have been a factor in the decision of cancelling the game.
I can't view the announcement on twitch, i knew i missed the live one. But would happy to see it after all.
yay! a new europe universalis!
I hope some points from EU3 will be re-done completely though , I'm happy

Very excited! I was almost sure they were going to announce Rome 2 so I am pleasantly surprised.
Screens look great. It's gonna be a long 12-15 months!
