Are you sure there acctually shortening the time by a few yeas in EU2 they had a while as Bysantantium

Yes. Johan explicitly said in a Gamespot interview that the game would run from 1453, after the fall of the Byzantine Empire to the Ottomans, to roughly "the time of the revolutions in France and America." This information has been repeated by forum moderator Mr. T on the Paradox forums.

The speculation is that this was explicitly to avoid having to deal with Byzantium (given that the game has new features for dealing with empires), but in Johan's words, "On eu3, until you see something posted by me or susana in an exact confirming sentence, you can only guess what our insinuations goes towards."

[edit] Starting Date can equal Ending Date?!

Based on what is written in the article... somebody starting the game in 1789 has a potential playable game worth 6 months?! Is this accurate? --74.12.146.194 23:52, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


This is correct. --75.48.115.38 10:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

No. It is not. The game lets you play until 1793 January 1st. I tried it yesterday. --70.53.122.239 16:29, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trebizon

while the game was shortened to avoid dealing with byzantium, it would still allow you to play as the Trebizon empire(which due to earlier troubles was a splinter off of byzantium) which was destroyed a few years later but falls into the time period offered by the game. My question is did they include it? I haven't seen what the map looks like during the first few years. anyone have a screen shot from the first year and last year to give comparrisons on the page. --Wilson 15:53, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes. Trebizon as well as the Despotate of Morea are included. Havard 10:18, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:932124 73782 front copy.jpg

Image:932124 73782 front copy.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Merge proposal of EU: Napoleon's Ambition

The article Europa Universalis III: Napoleon's Ambition is quite short and very related to this article, and apart from that, quite badly written (it reads like an ad). Perhaps it wolud be a better idea to merge it into this article as a section, where it could also be followed and edited better. --Francisco Valverde (talk) 18:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
