Codenamed "Europa," the engine was the same used to develop games in Paradox's Hearts of Iron series and Europa Universalis II (pictured). According to Paradox, the company plans to set "a few minimum criteria" for the engine's use, and games created using the technology will be made available for sale over the GamersGate download service -- meaning that for those indie devs looking for a 'cheap as free' solution to make their hard-core PC strategy game dreams a reality, this could be it.

What ever happened to indies making their own game engines?

Most people think it's not necessary to reinvent hot water. Shared resources are a nice thing to have.

This is cool! Maybe we will see some intriguing things pop up because of this somewhere down the line.
