I really hope Jewish is one of the cultures you can convert a province to. I want to create a Jewish German Empire.

CCP bought White Wolf years ago when they were riding high on Iceland bubble money and proceeded to spend several years building a new 3D engine for both a new RPG. Said engine was never completed and the only result was being able to walk around in one room in Eve Online. This was so poorly made that it literally overheated and killed certain models of ATI video cards. They spent so much money and resources on it that they nearly went bankrupt and had to add a useless microtransaction store that sold monocles for $75. This combined with questionable design decisions tanked Eve subscriptions and they just recently regained all the goodwill they lost.

Like many, many other companies, they jumped on the MMO bandwagon after World of Warcraft started going gangbusters (Though I think they bought White Wolf in 2003 and the merger came 3 years later), and were in too deep when it became apparent they'd totally misread the market. The difference is they already had EVE (So they should've known how the MMO market was going to go) and instead just sat on an incredibly marketable property for no reason. I don't understand why they didn't try to offload it after the recession- maybe they tried to get development started up again and it fell flat?

They were always trying to develop the White Wolf game as the engine for adding a third-person element to Eve but it never got off the ground. They refused to admit it was never going to happen for years and wasted millions on it.

It's been said a hundred times before, and I'll keep saying it despite that it's almost certainly a bad idea, but:

give me a game where the interface is your throne room and council halls. Let me interact with the world through in-game maps and reports and issue orders to underlings rather than enforce my magic will upon the world. If you can make this a first/third person game where you can actually walk around and interact with the area around you so much the better but I'll settle for stills and text.

Someone post the Magna Mundi Reichstag interface picture thanks

It wasn't in the launch version of the game, but that was more due to old Paradox not knowing much about Asian history. It got added with A House Divided iirc.

The good old days of China being two cultures ("Northern" and "Southern") and having CELESTIAL as its special empire type in EU3
