Q3 2013! Not to mention that it will probably be postponed, like they did with Crusaders Kings II, for the sake of polishing it, so maybe it will only be available in 2014...
And as long they keep keeping the DRM out, don't make the game high-end PCs only and don't push DLC as was the case with CKII, I'm happy.

Whats the problem with Paradox DLC policy? You are getting awesome support for the games for YEARS because of the DLC? I wish ALL companys would do what Paradox does with DLC. Its not just about getting paid, its about making the games live longer. Cant fucking understand the spoiled brats crying like schoolgirls about DLC (of the paradox sort)...

You're the fucking spoiled brat, who can't read an opinion about something, and start offending people.
Awesome support for the games for YEARS because of DLC? LOL @ that. 
My problem with the DLC is: I prefer expansions to small shitty DLC. CKII has nine DLCs. Eight of them are things that should have been included at game release, or at least as a free update. Only one is money worth, and it was poorly introduced since it breaks things for those who didn't bought it. So excuse me, if I don't like their DLC policy, and would prefer if they released a proper expansion, instead of getting on the DLC wagon, like every other company in the hope of making more profits, just for the sake of it.

EU3 came 2007, they are still releasing patches for that game. Thats YEARS. And without the income from the expansions/DLCs they would not be able to keep supporting their games.
But I can already tell you clearly not capable of understanding what Im trying to say so ill skip, have a nice day.

Patches are not DLC. DLCs are not expansions. When they started releasing DLC, they were already patching their games for years, so don't try telling me that they only did so because of the 1.99€ DLC songs they would release for CKII in the future.
I'm fine with people liking, and supporting DLC. I personally don't, and would prefer a classic expansion as I said before. And I love Paradox and their games. I'm just not a raging uptight little fanboy bitch, who can't read someone stating an opinion different than mine. Try to grasp and understand that, although I also know you're not capable of that.
Oh, and congrats on being the first on my ignore list.
Good day sir.

A must buy game, probably one of my most played game ever. But I have to agree with cheat2win, while paradox is an unique and great developer, much of their dlc is things that really should be in the game to begin with. They do support their game for a very long time though, so some slack is acceptable.

How would that be possible when they create the new music and sprites AFTER the game has shipped? Or are you saying they should not create new stuff for the game after release and only release patches but no new content?

If it is really made after release, then it's fine, when it comes to that kind of things like music, sprites, additional non-game modifying stuff.
The problem is stuff that should be on the game and is released as DLC one day later after the game was. CKII for example: Dynasty Shields and Mongol Faces. 4.98€ for something that should be included in the game.
Or let's see: they released Sword of Islam, a DLC allowing Muslim nations to be played. Nothing wrong with that. But also releasing a sprite and a song pack for Muslim nations as separated DLC just feels cheap. They should have released Sword of Islam with the sprites and the songs at least.
And come on, Ruler Designer? Should not this be included in the base game? Or as free update? Nope, 4.99€.
What's next? People buy the base game, and then we have to buy each nation, and each graphic and each song, all of them separated?
I'm not against DLC. I just would prefer they released stuff as an expansion, instead of holding out stuff, so just they can release it latter as DLC.

paradox dlcs are crap, most of them contain sprites, songs, or separate campaigns no one wants, i never get where did idea for campaigns came for grand strategy games, would it be paradox releasing half dlcs as mini campaigns that doesnt effect main game, mods will ignore them , or would it be total war series, adding campaign after campaign.. i dont want campaign , give me big map, lots of units and tech, ok you want new dlc, expand map, addnew units, new tech, new possibilities,

Actually most people on the Paradox forums want new start dates for the games. Sprite DLCs are done by a different company and the music is done by their composer, Andreas Waldetoft (what else do you think should he do instead of creating more music?).

Thats why you just pirate them |
So you don't want them but you pirate them? Sounds logical.

To me, best things in the dlcs are the new mechanics and if they extend the timeline ie. pushing forward the end date (+ceating events until that date ofc) or start date mover earlier.
All the dates in the middle I could not care less. I've never started at other date than the first possible. Though it's rare to 'finish' a game of EU, I've done it 4 times (out of hundreds of started ones)

God I love the EU series. This time from what I read, EU4 will feature an updated crusader kings 2 engine (ck2 was 2.0, eu4 will use 2.5) and the whole world is explorable from start. It will feature everything eu3 + expansions and more.
I can't wait!
My specs:
Ryzen 5950x @ boosting 5ghz, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master, 32gb G.Skill Trident Neo pc3600 ram, nVidia RTX 5080, SoundBlasterX G6, Samsung 980 Pro m.2 1TB and Hynix m.2 1TB storage SSD. Custom watercooling loop.

first grand strategy game that feels grand? oh we can hope,i still feel all of paradox grand strategy games are horribly bare bone and lacking content beyond belief, feel free to disagree, but when mods adds 5 times content than game and 3-4 expansions all together.. and when vanilla have zero substance or choices... maybe i am just too used to good mods in my strategy games, total war pre empire ( as that killed moding ) , civ 4 and so on

Be thankful they allow modding, which is pretty much something that many publishers/developers no longer allowing.

). The only DLC released for EU3 are sprite packs which aren't included in the Complete pack and are created by a different company.
