2 more mystery Paradox titles

[bbmike]

theres a lot of speculation about a Clausewitz III engine with adjustable borders

Now that would be very interesting indeed!

For Nero, hint 5 - what does the Skald say?

the plot thickens - vikings, norse-arama, space i would imagine is definitely out of the window?

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?750186-Hint-5

For Armstrong, hint 5 - there is politics and espionage

still could be HOI4 - nothing wrong with that

Reading the forums, Nero looks to be the new IP game, whereas they mentioned 'the other' would be a sequel

Skald where a race in Skyrim, wonder if Paradox signed a deal with Bethesda to do an Elder Scrolls strategy game.

I'd like to see Vicky 3 before HoI. Then again, I'm still in a 7 year long "I don't want to replay WW2 again" mood. But I'd love to see Vicky 3 with the EUIV engine and EUIV style streamlining. Even after playing a combined 300+ hours of CK2 and EUIV, I still open Vicky 2 stare at the screen for a few minutes then close it.

same with PrON - i stare at it, it stares at me - switch off again

Even with Paradox' newfound quality improvements on release, I just don't expect any future HOI to be in good condition.  Mixed with my apathy towards yet more WW2 games, I'd say just about anything except a new HOI would be good news to me.

[JasonPratt]

Could there be a "rocket" in WW1?  ??? That's the only way I could see Vicky 3 coming from those hints. (But IIRC one of the devs said V3 was on the board but not yet, so it can't be V3 anyway.)

If the second game is a "sequel", then timewise it can only be HOI4 (oh yay, it'll be good in about three years  ::) ) or they're actually going to make a direct COLD WAR SEQUEL to HoI3.

I could easily see them trying that. The politics involved would kind-of fit their new CK-inspired revisions, and fans have been asking for something official for years.

If it's Crusader Kings: Twilight Struggle, I'm 100% on board, even if it's a buggy mess. But they've been working hard to get high-quality releases recently, so I feel cautiously optimistic.

theres supposed to be East v West but the only rumours ive read from a disgruntled few are that its slowly going down the pan and will get wound up

if it doesnt then theres already a cold war HOI3 in the pipes

Paradox just posted this in the CK2 forum. Wonder if Nero or Armstrong has anything to do with this.

I wonder if Project Armstrong is this, and Paradox hijacked it and are releasing it.

Looks like they're putting teasers out in all directions.

Are they making a DLC that will link all their Clausewitz games now?  Not just CK2 and EU4?

In that case, I do hope it's a Rome 2 and/or something that will proceed further into the 'dark ages'.   In order to do the post-western Roman period in Europe, they'd have to focus less on national borders and more on ruling the shifting cultures, tribes, etc.  Hrmm..  would be a tough thing to do.

Man, I'm a little surprised by the consensus "meh" response to the possibility that Armstong may be HoI4 ! 

I, for one, welcome our new HoI overlord.  Hail Ants!

(I guess it could still turn out not to be HoI4, in which case I, for one, will be a sad panda...)

Could be Space Vikings...

i think its just the general 'we want new shinys' people who are disappointed - my only thoughts are, how many different ways can you do the game
