I still don't know if it will be Rome 2 or EU IV. I also don't know which I'd rather it be. The mainline EU series is my favorite PDS series, and I'd love to see PDS 2012 give a brand new approach to the series, especially after seeing what they did with CK2. Also, Rome is probably my least favorite of PDS's games. On the other hand, I'd be very curious to see them try Rome again after their success with CK2 and such. CK1 was definitely among their weaker releases, so maybe Rome 2 could show Rome's potential the way CK2 did CK's. I'd also be a little worried about EU IV. IMO, it took two or three expansions before EU III became unambiguously better than EU II, and I'd hate to see EU IV look relatively light by comparison to EUIII+4.



At the end of the day, I guess I'd be (a lot) more excited about an EU4 announcement than Rome 2, but Rome 2 might end up making be happier in the long-run. I mean, CK2 completely pulled off what CK1 failed to do, and I never really experienced a game like it before.
