2 more mystery Paradox titles

[Martok]

Surely Nero has to be the EU: Rome 2, no matter what the hints given have been so far.  It's been long enough since it came out, and given how well Paradox has done with CK2 and EU4, I have to believe they would do justice to a Rome sequel. 

Armstrong, I'd dare not guess yet.

Hhhmmm, probably not EU: Rome 2.  Just in browsing through the Project Nero thread, I've seen multiple posters quoting/paraphrasing previous Johan posts (and tweets) that EU: Rome 2 would eventually get a sequel, just not now.

Armstrong is an interesting choice for a project code name. Lots of speculation about a space game at the link but I wonder if they are over looking another Armstrong- George Armstrong Custer. Mayhaps it will be a game about 'manifest destiny' including the Indian Wars.

Certainly has to be a space game, then.

Yeah, my impression from frequenting the P'dox forums a while back was that a Rome EU sequel was very definitely *not* on the horizon any time soon.  But it's been a few months since I checked in over there.

...will they just put me out of my misery and announce HOI4 already ??

For Nero there are 2 screenshots but so anonymous you wouldnt know anything more - there is a mountain scene and a forest scene both in very wintery conditions

There is some speculation that they have decided to go professional on the mod for Game of Thrones but im sure we'd have read about the tie in by now

I could be happy with games of thrones

Have you tried the game of thrones mod for CK2? It's quite extensive

It's probably better than all the games actually created for the franchise.  Ha!

Can someone who is only vaguely familiar with Game of Thrones find any enjoyment in the mod?

I suppose if you enjoy CK2 and feel like playing in a fictitious world instead of a historical one? 

I'm not sure how much prior knowledge is required to pick up on the event messages and such.  It's still a feudalist situation so the core gameplay is still the same, I'm sure.

I've not checked it out since the original CK version because the new one has had so much DLC to keep me busy.

[undercovergeek]

soooooooooo much rage for Nero, havent got to the other forum yet, but lots of complaining

[Grim.Reaper]

Is the announcement of these games sometime this week?  Thought I read that somewhere.

Johan's clues are pretty esoteric, but haven't seen anything yet that rules out Project Armstrong as HoI4 (Nero clearly can't be).

I find it hard to believe that HoI4 would not be Pdox's next big project.  All the stars are aligned in that direction.

From back in my SAT days (long, long ago), I infer the following analogy:

Arm : Heart  as  Strong : Iron

I certainly wouldn't bet against it....seems to have been always their main product and I am sure all the WW2 fanatics would be all over it.  We'll see in a few days:)  The bigger question......how far away do we think either will be actually released...this year?  That will be even more torture knowing something is coming and still a long ways off.
