Europa Universalis III, "the best game ever made", by Paradox

Europa Universalis III was just announced last night by developer Paradox Interactive, who are already claiming that the latest title in their prestigious Europa Universalis series is set to become "the best game ever made". Well we'll certainly see about that, since their official announcement has this tricky thing to say about it:

"At the same time focus has been put on making it easier for casual strategy fans to get into this game."

I really hope they don't mean that as in a... Heroes of Might and Magic V kind of "easier for casual strategy fans" way, because that might just take away all the depth and historical flavour their series was acknowledged for up until now. Unfortunately no screenshots are available at this time (next month, they say), only some artworks and a handful of teasing info revealed by GameSpot in their first interview on Europa Universalis III. The release is currently planned for Q1 2007.
