Well, whatever it is, it'll be a grand strategy game from Paradox, for sure. So, I have one thing to say :

This is going to be a big one: there was no "special" announcement like this for East vs. West.

At most it's uncharted territory, but I see thin chances for a Dark Ages game (despite I wholeheartedly want one). All my bets are on EU4.
 
If the game turns out to be something I like, I'm planning on quietly saying "yesssss" and making a fist with my right hand and sort of shaking it at about waist level. Anyone with me?
 
If it turns out to be something that doesn't interest me at all, I might go "mmm.... not really my cup of tea, but might be worth keeping an eye on", and gently sit back into my chair. Who's with me?

if it's rome II i plan on getting drunk. If it's EUIV i plan on watching depressing movies. If it's a dark age game, i will suspend my judgement.
 
From Hint #2, see below.
The "Is" is in italic, hinting at egyptian gods.

"Hint #2
Is this the game you have been waiting for? "

Nope, "Is" is the Breton Atlantis. Or a runic character which means Ice. Or even an Iraqi town. But it is not a Egyptian god.
 
our suffering will not end by the announcement since we will have to wait for a few years to play ir

Dear god you're right... Please Paradox do not announce games until they're ready for Beta testing! I hate waiting for games I want :( the long wait for CK2 was the most torturous of my days. I had to stop coming to the forum because I was only causing myself sorrow and heartache by not being able to play it.

I'll probably go 'oh hello' in the manner of Kenneth Williams during the Julian and Sandy sketches on Round the Horn in his early career.

Furthermore, if it's a complete surprise, I might raise my eyebrows and go "ah, deadly, didn't see that one coming". Any takers?

I personally may go 'ooooooooh' in the manner of Kenneth Williams in the later carry on films, when they'd started to become crass and unamusing.

I'll probably sink into a pit of despair and self loathing. Also in the manner of Kenneth Williams, only later in his career, kinda of around the final Parkinson interview.


Possibly I should stop reading that biography of Kenneth Williams.
 
I really want a world war one game.
A game that makes you feel you a locked in a struggle of attrition, where you can make or break the enemy lines.
Where trench warfare is stagnant and both sides are exploring new a diverse tactics and strategy to use.

I've only played one game like that and it is the Warcraft 3 custom map
WW1: Road to War
