Thanks for posting this, really looking forward to this one.

Btw, will the acronym for Pride of Nations be ProN?

Syt

Hm, for some reason "Pride of Nations" reminds me a bit of Nation's Pride ...

At. Last.

Good luck, I'm really looking forward to take 2 of this game.

Wikipedia has a decent political map (large and German!): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Europe_1748-1766.png Here is a decent physical map that shows mountains and rivers at a quick glance: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/shepherd_1911/shepherd-c-002-003.jpg

Looking great, but it should be "Korneuburg", not "Korneburg" next to Vienna.

Few are the developers which really care about making the best AI possible, whatever it means in time and money spent. Jean-Michel (Histwar) and Dave O'Connors (Panther Games) are among them. They are 'Defender of the Faith' for me :) You should probably count in Frogboy from Stardock, too (though ...

This means simply that teen-agers with money dominate the market being announced! That gives me and upset stomach!! t :( I think in case of the Wii it's more of a case that Nintendo has managed to reach non-gamers with it. I know quite a number of people who would hardly glance at a PC game, or pla...

I have recommended the book several times on these (and other) forums. A superb read indeed.

My only comment:

Not in Argentina it wasn't. And neither was U.S. Fruit's dominion of Central America.

I really hope that such economic quasi-colonial status will be modelled in the game.

That's good to hear.

Wish I could help, but I don't think the books/references I have at home offer much insight and you guys will have checked all online ressources certainly.

Any news on that? After all it could be argued that those conflicts are at least as important, if not more so, for the Rise of Prussia(TM) as the Seven Years War.

The Enemy at the Gate: Habsburgs, Ottomans and the Battle for Europe by Andrew Wheatcroft. In 1683, two empires - the Ottoman, based in Constantinople, and the Habsburg dynasty in Vienna - came face to face in the culmination of a 250-year power struggle: the Great Siege of Vienna. Within the city ...

Nice to know and looking forward to it.

But then again, they're making Arsenal of Democracy http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=429567 One must wonder. if they're billing AoD as the Ultimate WW2 simulator, why buy HOI3? In their defence, it's a fan mod going commercial under Paradox' offer to let people sign their (old) ...

I'm doubting I'll get Vicky, at least not on release. I own EU1, 2, CK/DV, Vicky+Rev, HoI and HoI2&DD, plus EU3+Add ons and Rome. Now, P'dox' released were always messy, though they usually managed to clean and polish them up nicely with their patches. I was on their betas for CK, Vicky/Rev, HoI1&2,...

Sounds indeed interesting and I look forward to seeing how it'll be implemented.

One question that keeps running in my head is how straightjacketed the campaign will be. As I see it there's two extremes: One has fixed events firing at fixed dates. Prussia always declares war on Austrian in 1866. The American Civil War always starts in 1861. On the other side there's the freeform...

Will those conflicts be set in stone? Or will there be ways to accelerate/delay/avoid them, depending on game circumstances?

Syt

Thanks for the info. I guess I may get this around turn of ther year.

Interesting. Did you have to re-install a lot of software afterwards? I presume old licenses are not all recognized?

My new machine has Vista64 Ultimate, and I have to say the jump from XP wasn't as bad as I feared. I especially love the sidebar ... useful little toy, but it's nice.

I'm very doubtful of the "in place upgrade", though, that promises to keep everything intact from your old OS.

While not a movie I can wholeheartedly suggest The Pursuit of Glory: Europe 1648-1815 by Tim Blanning. In scope much broader, looking at all aspects of life during the period, from culture, to commerce, to communication, to court policies, to enlightenment and superstition to warfare and sex. It's a...

I would love a 30 Years War game, but ... I'm currently reading the new book "Europe's Tragedy - A New History of the Thirty Years War", giving a pretty deep overview of the conflict (850+ pages of pure text, plus nicely drawn battle maps), but reading through I have to say I have serious doubts if ...
