@PhilTib and Pocus: Can you confirm the release date? If yes, is it April 4th or March 3rd?

P.S. IMHO the cover art and the loading screen of Victoria 2 are quite similar...

The cover screen is absolutely NOT the final one...this is purely temporary.
As for the release date, we are on target the moment

I think it isn't "vain" enough

Nice find sir, very nice news to read

Personally I much prefer the original title 'Vain Glory of Nations'. Pride of Nations isnt half as punchy and is very similar to most other strategy titles that seem to come out. But anyway I dont think I will be buying this game as I dont like the look of the computerised screens compared to the more hand-drawn arty ones of your previous games.

That is one of the more interesting reasons I have read not to purchase something. For a coat, or a scarf, yes I would agree that it is really contingent upon looks, but, for a computer game?

This is kinda sad (sorry for necro)

The 3rd of April

My birthday is on the 8th... Can't you delay it a bit? (BUT NOT FURTHER THAN the 8th?)
