Crusader Kings wasn't mainline until it started making boatloads of cash. Sengoku and mote were clearly never designed to be expanded as much as at least my hypothetical Rome 2

I don't think Rome 2 would be a throwaway project for them like Sengoku/March of the Eagles was. Those games were one-and-dones, with no real expectations of future support. Rome 1 had a somewhat decent amount of support with fair number of post-release patches and an expansion. But they stopped because the fan support wasn't there. If the fan support for Rome 2 were to exist, then yeah, I could definitely see them iterating on that for a while.

Do you mean abandoning as in not continuing patching and fixing things? I mean we don't really release games in the state of back then anymore.

Sengoku and MotE were both focused on super narrow settings. Rome 2 leaves open literally the entirety of antiquity.

I'm still hoping against hope for Sengoku 2. It's my favorite historical era, though I know I'm very much in a minority here. Something focused on China would also be cool. Taiping rebellion or the Qing conquest of the Ming would be my preferred eras. E:drat phoneposting can't even autocorrect properly Don Gato fucked around with this message at 09:51 on May 12, 2018 |

Rome2 would be very disappointing and I feel like Victoria 3 would have a bigger playerbase these days. Maybe they've come up with something entirely new as well.

My totally accurate and perfectly reliable guess would be on Rome 2. I base it on that Paradox looked into working with Jon Shafer (which I believe didn't happen because they wanted different things with... whatever they discussed and went separate ways with no hard feelings).Tomn posted:Goddamn it, this is what I get for phone posting. Well true but Emperor was the best one, mostly because of roadblocks and residential walls.

Now don't go hating on Rome. There's not a lot of games that cover that time period and it's extremely interesting from both a historical and a cultural standpoint. Uh, I mean. Yeah! Victoria 3 would be way better! I want my factories back!

Tomn posted:Surprise twist answer: EU5, but with Vicky pops. The game everyone wants but we're not allowed to have it. Though really based on how the first Rome game went, the sequel could potentially be the "EU but with bits of CK and Vicky rammed into it" that people have been asking for.

Don't forget MotE was Paradox picking up a project that AGEOD had heavily dropped the ball on (because they are bad) and trying to deliver something, and to that extent It Is A Game and you can see how some of the design elements influenced future paradox games so it's not a total loss.

I'm betting it's Asia Universalis. Well probably not but a game set in China would be awesome, and they could do a lot to flesh out the rest of East Asia.
