They do it on occasion in HoI2.

It happens if a unit is defeated before it becomes entirely encircled. If the area where it is retreating is captured, and then the capturing units leave before the retreating units arrive, they will recapture the taken province. Of course, by that time, encircling them again is usually no longer a problem, but in pitched battles with thick lines on both sides, it can cause some very big problems surrounding pockets and supply routes.

Co-operative multiplayer mode allows several players to work together to control a single nation.

The great people and personalities of the past are on hand to support you. Take history in your hands and call personalities like Sir Isaac Newton, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or René Descartes to your court.

Have more than a thousand historical leaders and over 4000 historical Monarchs at your disposal.

This is really good news, a good cooperative mode and a good touch of roleplaying element, I cant wait for this game to come out!

Edit: I dont like the map though, just looked at the screenies, it looks too much like the RTW map. I'd prefer the old map map.

Hmm, I've never played any of the other Paradox games, but I think I'll keep an eye on this one.

the MP looks good at least...

Im a die-hard paradox worshipper thanks to vicky and HOI2, Inever played EU 1 & 2...

But I have to say, I hope they raise the bar a bit with the graphics, those screenies didnt have me wetting myself...

Although I suppose it is early days yet...
