Potential EU5 Map Delighted Fans of Series, but They Worry About Their PCs

Project Caesar still hasn't been confirmed as a successor to Europa Universalis 4, but that hasn't stopped the developers from sharing more information.

Paradox continues to tease fans about the new medieval strategy. This time Johan Andersson, manager of Paradox Tinto studio, presented a map of the Holy Roman Empire.

The graphic shared on the official Paradox Interactive site accompanies an article about the company's mysterious project, which we know under the codename Project Caesar. However, fans are well-informed and still believe that this unannounced title is simply the next installment of Europa Universalis IV. Just in time, as every other Paradox series has long since received a new installment (let's not dwell on the quality of some of them at the premiere).

Andersson's post centers on examining the functioning of international organizations. In theory, this isn't a new concept for the Europe series... sorry, for Paradox games. However, there's one fundamental difference: in Project Caesar, this system is to be fully dynamic, which will also allow for changes made by mods.

Up to now, this kind of mechanics has been an example of what is known as hard code, or hermetic, resistant to modifications. In the new game, a file with instructions, which already has 140 lines, will be responsible for this system.

Membership in the organization will be based on common traits, but its members will also have the ability to establish universal principles. Moreover, not all relationships of this type will be as grand as unique organizations like the Holy Roman Empire, the Catholic Church, the Tatar yoke, and China. This group will also include coalitions and unions.

Fans jokingly comment on these changes as an "terrible" "nightmare" (in reference to the EU 4 Volatire's Nightmare mod), but they are clearly excited about the changes. Let's hope that this time there will be no apology after the premiere of Paradox's game. Contrary to some Internet users' concerns, the title won't damage their computers (via Reddit).

We will find out more about how religion works in Project Caesar next week.
