EU5

[Roey]

Just as a curiosity when do you think EU5 will happen.

Just wanted to know what people think?

Lets see if i get any nasty responses!!

I would say that it will take at least 2 years if it even is in development already. It seems that the next pdxcon will not announce a big new project and paradox will probably avoid such an announcement close to the release of vic3. So they might announce it on the pdxcon next year and then it will take at least a year till release. But it is also possible that the development hasn't even started and pdx wants to wait to see how the vic3 launch goes and if pdx tinto is capable enough to give them such a project.

I wonder what people would really expect from EU5?

* I would love some better optimization esp. for late game, but other than that i'm really fine with EU4 (esp. with all the mods available).

* Better graphics - does anyone even use the natural terrain mapmode or zoom in to see unit details (more than once)?

* More content - traditionally a new base game means less content at first until DLC/expansions flesh it out.

If EU5 doesnt start with like 90% of the content EU4 has right now, i wouldnt even buy it.

The change from EU III to IV was okay, as - content-wise - it was clear that the devs could expand easily on the prior title. Now? Well, look at CK II and CK III and how they compare. After how many years that CK III exists?
I really see no incentive to make an EU V. Which just translates into that I wouldn't buy it unless it would be - content-wise - at the same level as IV is. Which would take some decades. And up until then I most certainly already would be dead.

I honestly doubt EU5 will happen, at least not as a direct successor to EU4. What else is there to do that EU4 hasn't already done? I feel like if they is to be another EU game, it won't be 1444-1821

Maybe have more ways to stray away from the propagandized history we are taught and have more imaginative ways to develop your empire besides the perverted history we are left to play with. Need more out of the box thinking.

Don't really want any time soon with the current dev mindset of dumbing things down to make the game "more accessible" and/or console friendly like they've done with other recent releases. Where would EU be without actually fighting your wars?

[Preacher]

heck, maybe just an eu4 remaster where all the spaghetti code is condensed.

Otherwise, maybe more peace time activites like delving deeper into government mechanics and what mana really is

I vote for a "clean" remaster with code clean-up and an improved AI. Make that much improved AI. Then leave it alone for a few years, except for bug-fixes.

I think 2024

CK3 didn't start with 90% of the content that CK2 had; why would you expect EU5 to be any different?

Can't speak for Medicles, but I wouldn't, which is why I'm not super interested in a putative EU5.
