New information about the game March of the Eagle, formelly known as Napoleon Campaign 2. This game was, until a few months ago, developed by Paradox France, until PDS brought the game to be developed by them. The game is expected in the Q1 of an unspecified year. Clausewitz engine based.

Take command as any European country in the year 1805 and steer it through the turbulent period of the Napoleonic wars. As one of the great powers seek to gain dominance of the continent or as a minor country try to choose the winning side. Featuring a streamlined unit system, giving you a number of basic building blocks to construct your armies from, but giving you unprecedented flexibility in army construction as the balances of unit types give the armies new roles and abilities. A highly flexible victory system that sees Britain and France pitted against each other for dominance over the continent, but should one stumble another country can pick up the baton. Each country has different paths to Victory, taking the Eagles into Spain and Russia over France its best ways to win but your path is yours. As for the other countries your routes to Victory lie in several directions, do you ally with France or oppose her, both routes are open to you. The destiny of Europe is in your hands, what will you do?.

According to the devs, it will be a mixture of the warfare aspect of HoI, the time period of EU and the winning goal of Sengoku.

Ye AGEOD divorced Paradox recently and they are now developing games separately.

Not much interest in the title for me, not the best timeframe and most importantly its inspired by Sengoku.

Hi all,

After almost 3 years of working together, Paradox France (formerly AGEOD) and Paradox Interactive have reached a mutual conclusion that the interest of both companies would be better served by separating and allowing each entity to focus more on their goals, “core competencies” and skills. It has been a really exciting journey and we have all learnt a lot and been able to utilize each other’s diverse and strong competencies. Perhaps the most important thing to take away from this is that there is a lot of admiration and respect on both sides and that we will all continue working together moving forward, both with already released Paradox France games as well as actively seek opportunities to work together in other areas. We will be taking our time with this so it’s not something that will be rushed but we wanted to let you know what is in the works. All details will work themselves out over the course of the coming months.

So what does this mean practically?


• Paradox Development Studio will run and work more heavily with the Clausewitz developed games from Stockholm where the core team PSD is based
• Paradox France will regain autonomy to develop and design games on the AGE engine, and will keep both commercial and cooperation ties with Paradox Interactive. We already have several plans for the existing Paradox France titles in terms of support and content.
• AGE engine games will be handled solely by Paradox France/Ageod
• Napoleons campaigns II, being developed on the Clausewitz engine will move from being partly developed by PSD to being fully developed by PSD. As such it become a stronger “Europa Universalis” product than previously planned.

Again, the main goal for this shift is to ensure both team can focus on what they do best for the good of gaming and their communities. As soon as we have more to announce in terms of what you can expect to see on the Paradox France games, you’ll find us right here.

Best Regards
Paradox Interactive & Paradox France

I read that the idea of making a AGEOD/Clausewitz game has failed, and Paradox cannot into turn based games, AGEOD style.

For the commercial prospect of AGEOD titles this is bleak. But at least they will make the games they want. Hopefully they make AGE 2 one day. I had no interest in Clausewitz whatsoever.

Well I'm a new AGEOD player and I'm looking forward to a real time, clausewitz engine game with AGEOD's attention to detail, unique features and historical accuracy.
