We need more people
This sub-forum is a bit dead, everyone seems to post at the paradox website.

We need to get more Polytubbies to play and post here. Maybe when EUII is out on general release in Europe....*sigh*

Polytubbies?



I have my guesses, but I want a straight answer.

Tell you what - as all the people who are banned from the official site seem to gravitate to here I will see if I can weed a few more out

p.s. Still end of March at the moment

Er, yes, we're extremely grateful for that btw Mr Duck.

I think you may be correct on the release thing though. Not too many countries have it (EU2 anyway) in widespread circulation yet.

- sorry about that!


Oh well - at least the version we eventually get here in Europe will be more stable and bug free than the "too early" NA version and will need less patchwork With Combat Mission coming out here this Friday I can wait a little longer......

I think it also might have something to do with the site owners promoting games (by creating sections for them) like Moo3 and RoN that they feel they can profit (posters wise) rather than EU, which already has a vibrant community.

Yeah, the official community is so good and a-ok, that very few peopel would choose some other community about EU instead of the official one(not trying to give this one a bad rating, it's just that way!)

A nickname for people who post at Apolyton, usually used by people who don't post on Poly.

Judging from the discussion forum at the official site, MoO3 also has a very vibrant community. So I simply don't get it why Apolyton doesn't cover EU/EU2.

The admins are stretched for time as it is, so adding even more would be too much I think.

I personally think its just a quirk. Although I would prefer EU coverage over some other games that are covered.

Ditto. I wonder, is there a possibility of somebody posting AAR's with flashy picture thingies (always popular) in the news section? I think Imran for one was going to do this at some point but never got around to it.

I will ask around the EU Forums. The problem is people think (wrongly) that they are being disloyal to Paradox by posting here.
I will use the tactic that posting here might actually sell a few more copies

Put the apolyton address in your sig, and say its not traitorous.

Fair is fair.

BTW you can put hyperlinks in your sigs, not just a text block address. Makes it even easier to find the paradox website.

Actually you could probably get yourself a title of some sort too if you hit the admins up for it. EU Guru/Developer/Tester guy or somesuch.

The Paradox site is far better than this little subsite. Everyone here should go there. You know you want to...

Bend their arms back. Say no EU3 if they don't .

Actually there will probably be no EU3 as such anyway.
There are 2 more games coming out based on the EU Engine but neither is EU3

Good to hear that info as I still have no reading access to the official EU forum. Ah well, it was only a month ago i wrote about that, mr Duck. Although I like it here I would still like to be able to read about changes in the EU product. I am a customer. you know, the whiner that keeps asking to receive what he paid for.
