It's been around for a bit but I missed it until now. The people at Reviews on the Run had a very early look at Europa Universalis IV and made a video about it. Must say that the Clausewitz engine never looked better. Check out their preview.

not really a preview... it's more of a rather short interview with a designer aimed at people who have never heard of EU/Paradox and some (moving) promo shots

granted... the game looks nice, but i don't like the "we want to attract a wider audience", if it means dumbed down and candy coated instead of less buggy and less dlc-milking

Mods will fix it!!!!

I loved Europa Universalis, until it just became a game of painting the map your nation's colour to me.

Victoria on the other hand to me was everything I secretly wished for in a game, but didn't dare dream of because of the complexities involved. Paradox gave me my dream game with Victoria.

I can't go back to Europa, it's just too limited after playing Victoria.

Trash, where is the review?

Somewhere in the future bro. When the game is released and all that and what not.

Victoria 2 is pretty boring to me, because the GPs are boring and the smaller power can't do crap if a GP decides randomly to attack. You have no leader stats (just your party, so you don't have problems with incompetent president ruling country, for example), no advisors, focus point numbers are bullshit (anyone bellow 2 million adult male pop is fucked) and significant parts of the world are totally ahistorical lalalala land, especially Latin America and Africa. Granted, the last one happens in EU3 too (Southeast Asia and West Africa in EU3 are totally ridiculous), but its still bad.

Try out Pop Demand Mod for a vastly improved vanilla or A House Divergent for a good alternate history scenario (which incorporates PDM features).
