EU IV is coming out later this year. Considering how good (and polished!) CK2 was, I think Paradox is going to get this one right. I know come fall I'll want to run some SGs for EU IV. Brick did a showcase of EU III a while back: Brick Showcases EU III

For anyone not familiar with it, Crusader Kings 2 was "Be a Feudal Lord, and have fun." This will be the same thing, although at the "Renaissance Country" level, instead: 11/11/1444 (Battle of Varma) to the late 18th century. Dynasties won't be nearly as intricate, sadly. But we do get colonization.

Me, I'm looking forward to making France the true master of the New World.

Why am I bringing this up now? Well, Paradox has come up with a rather clever way to get its fans to shill for the game - rewards for referring people to its site/mailing list. This isn't a pre-order, and the newsletter update is optional.

Full disclosure: I'm totally doing this for the e-books.

3 referrals: a Unit Pack DLC (Winged Hussars) for EU IV, and an e-Book copy of The Prince (Paradox has done their own introduction)
5 referrals: a graphical DLC (National Monuments - Notre Dame et al), their Strategy Guide (hopefully not made obsolete by patches???) and the Art of War (again, Paradox has their own introduction)
At 10 referrals, there's a free copy of EU III, which I'll give to one of my 10 referrals at random.

I saw this, but it didn't seem really clear, what exactly is this a signup for? is it a preorder?

Mailing list, only the mailing list is optional (but it still counts as a referral).

Signed up. Enjoy the books, I've read both.

Hopefully I'll have a good enough computer to run it by then, but probably not.

Edit: I quoted the full "Jack and Jill" verse for Paradox, but the algorithm kicked me out for not being humanrolf. I went back and just did "hill".

Signed up.

I have not played the previous EU games, will have to check out Brick's showcase. I have enjoyed CK II, so this will probably be a lot of fun.

Note: my showcase was barely much of anything cause I suck at sticking with consistent informative reports.

I am going to double check this evening, but last time I checked I had 0 referrals. Can everyone please confirm that they verified their links?
