EU III EXPANSION "IN NOMINE" REVEALED
While the developers are busy putting their finishing touches on EU: Rome, the team is already thinking ahead and we are thrilled to announce the next expansion for EU III - "In Nomine" (requires Napoleon's Ambition). This is what Producer Johan Andersson had to say about the expansion:

* Start in October 1399, at the coronation of Henry IV of England. Experience over 50 more years of gameplay, experiencing the Byzantine Empire, Tamerlane and the end of the Hundred Years War.

* Se exactly what is required to make the decisions that will shape the future of your country. Strive to create Great Britain, Make Paris worth a Mass, or institute an East Indian Trade Company. Act, rather than react, and implement decisions on both country and province level, with the new decision system, including hundreds of different decisions depending on situation.

* Experience our new Mission System, where the player and AI will both be given goals to achieve, providing endless replayability by guiding history along different tracks every time.

* In Nomine will feature Rebels with a Cause. There are countless types of rebels, with different goals, and different abilities. You may get colonial rebels in your colonies determined to get representation or independence, you may get reactionary nobles rising up to put the serfs back where the belong. Crush them by force, or negotiate with them, or even worse, watch them enforce their demands on your country.

* Religious tolerance now depends on the ideas and decisions you take, making it a new layer of strategy. As cardinals stay loyal longer, the power of the Papa Controller has grown, as he can now excommunicate rulers, and call crusades against infidels.

Revised AI, focusing on strategic top level goals, with support for fully scriptable logics.
"In Nomine" is scheduled for release before the summer. Head over to our forums if you want to discuss this game.

Yay! I wasn't even bored with NA yet and the new expansion is under way this spring. What do you think?
The extra 50 years is nice and all but I'm personally looking forward to those other new features and improvements. Improved AI and rebels.. *drool*

Great
Hope they get both exp-s working together, type:
1399-1821

P.S.
*the power of the Papa Controller has grown, as he can now excommunicate rulers, and call crusades against infidels*.seems to be a bit late for that stuff.
They'd better worked out the system of Reform with some procent of provinces following your state's convertion -for Protestantism implemented in a very strange way into the game

Yeah, that's how it works. The campaigns will be epic.

Yay, I can start playing with Iraq 54 years earlier. Excellent.

I like the idea of another expansion though.

EDIT: Lol I thought "In Nomine" was the Rome game.

No wonder people were getting off on me....

Banzai, the topic is the expansion for EU3 "In Nomine". You also might find that people are more inclined to take you serious when you refrain from posting with caps-lock on.

The only feature I'm not particularly interested in are the missions. I feel it would detract from the "Grand-Strategy" type of feeling you get when you set your own goals. I'm sure they'll be optional though. The rest sounds pretty cool.

P.S. To White Knights -I really like missions
...though it could be a rip off from other strategies,oh dear !

When I hear the word "missions" I think of those horrible things in MTW II.

But I love the rebels feature!

I remember the "goals" from the first Medieval, those were the dayes.

The only thing is that I wish you did not have to buy NA to buy this.

Oh well, finally an excuse to buy NA

Seems reasonable.

I wonder what spheres of influence are. :hmmm:

Probably works similarly to trade centers, except dependent upon stability and badboy, extending influence over another country will make diplomatic relations better etc etc etc

All speculation on my part.

This is awesome.

Finally I can win the Hundred Years' War.

Man I do not want to see England taken over by France.

Wait... why couldn't you in EUIII already? You start out at war with France (it being you and all, I assume your talking about from the English prespective) and everything. The only issue is the ridiculous slog it is to get through their manpower.

**King Edward III** · April 14, 2008, 03:02 AM

You can only win a province or two, after that you're ambitions in France are pretty much dead, what with their insane manpower and wealth.

In the expansion France must be a lot easier for England to take on.
