User blog comment:CrimsonAssassin/What Next: The Future of the PM Franchise/@comment-24285234-20150830020133

A few commments:

Many of the problems that Pm3 faced will be faced here. People act based on outside factors. Nation A is inactive? Time to invade it because no one will care. XXX took nation B? Better invade him. YYY took Nation C? better help him. To claim any map game was different is a lie. people don't act as their nations, they act as players in a game. Take that as you will.
 * Every Map game that tries to be revoultionary and change things fails. There is no reason to expect that this one will be any different. You are better off not making these claims.
 * 1400 is not a new setting. That's the very deffinition of not new.
 * 1350 isn't too new either. if 100 years isn't enough to see changes in the balance of power (Pm3's balance of power was nearly the same as OTL until the Grand Coaliton war) there is no reason to assume
 * If the Pm series straggled from ~1400 to the modern(ish) day 3 times, barely making it to the end each time, then 1295 is doomed to fail by adding well over a hundred years. 50% of users don't have the attention span to play for that long.
