Now that its been revealed I guess you don't need to keep it secret anymore, but I would be interested to know when development for the game started

Ever since two previous games have been cancelled during development, I think Paradox from now on only announces games when they are rather deep in development being far in alpha or early in beta. I guess the game has been in development for at least 1 or 1,5 years already. Although I might be far off, I have really no idea how many resources and time it takes.

Good question! I would say 2012/2013. We first get to know about Augustus in December 2013.

It has to be 2 years. We already know about Project Augustuis since December 2013.

But Paradox counted East vs West as their project too so I think it could count
