Hello everyone, and welcome to this weeks development diary for EU4.This week I want to talk about the loadingscreens of EU4. Our goal is to add to the pool of loadingscreens every time we do a major update, so that you have a large variety of cool pictures to view while the harddrive is booting up the game.Each picture represents one country in the game, and we do not plan to have more than 1 loading screen for each nation. There is also one of the most iconic leaders of that nation on the picture, as well as a location which represents that nation.And when making expansions, it is very much important that the country picked fits the theme for it.We shipped with 5 different loading screens, representing about half of the major powers of the era.Sweden - Gustavus II Adolphus & Stockholm ArchipelagoSpain - Isabella & Carribean IslandsEngland - Elizabeth I & Cliffs of DoverFrance - Louis XIV France & French FarmlandsOttomans - Suleiman the Magnificent & Haga SophiaIroqouis - Hiawatha & Niagara FallsVenice - Andrea Gritti & City of VeniceNetherlands - Maurice of Nassau & Windmills at CanalsRussia - Catherine the Great & SiberiaAztecs - Montezuma & TenochtitlanAustrai - Charles V & The AlpsAnd for our new 1.13 patch, we are adding a loading screen for Poland, with Jan Sobieski and the Jasna Gora Monastery!We still aim to have pictures for Portugal, Denmark & Prussia of the europeans majors, but it needs to fit thematically for the expansions. Not that I can think of any important Danish ruler through history.. pokes @Groogy
