I just can't understand why AGEod entrusted this project to a third-party developer and on a new engine instead of using AGE which is the most brilliant engine for this abstraction level with the skilled hands of Pocus and the newcomer Hok, who's already proven his worth on WiA.

Is it getting deep or what guys!

Just thought I would assist in the total hijack of this thread.

Well...

There is a games philosophy which says "keep pumping out games to remain in the spotlight."

Perhaps this philosophy was behind the release.

Personally, I am always leery of releases as Christmas approaches...

There's no such thing as bad publicity eh?

I guess WW1 was the game AGEOD became a publisher that also designs, rather than a designer who also publishes.

They're turning ino the new Paradox.

<shudder> Let's hope not. There are already enough games with terrible manuals, brain dead AI, and a requirement to buy version 2 or 3 to get all the bugs fixes. Sorry for going OT but nobody has a review yet.

Well, the head of AGEod is an ex Paradox designer. I think apart from these temporary (but repeated) problems, so far they did a good job.
I think the reviewers will just mention the current problems as a note and will start publishing after the patching process begins...which is, after all, probably starting today.

Not really, P.Thibaut was and still is an "independent" game designer, he sold rights to adapt EU to a PC game to Paradox, that's all.
Paradox used to death the engine they created then, but Philippe moved on with AGEOD, after Pax Romana, who was left unfinished by a publisher that went bankrupt...

Actually Elmo I was refering to the new Paradox policy of publishing half a game at full price, and then charging to complete the game. However this is not a thread to bitch about Paradox. Try their forums. However EU3 and HoI2 remain great games.
