I kinda enjoy how damage control in Johan's book basically means take the fight to them and explain it like they're babies. Not sure if it's going to work though.



That being said, the reasons I never got around to playing EU:rome was the ancient UI and the way to limited scope of the game. Since imp is definately going to resolve that I'm pretty happy.



I still don't understand why people feel that this game should either be about characters like CK2 or about pops like Victoria 2. That's for those games. This game in my book should be about building and managing an empire with great internal politics and infighting between characters you only control indirectly. As if you're 'herding cats'. I think it's great to see PDX adding a pop system that is far beyond the hampered eu4 development and estates approach and senems pretty good for something that's not the main angle of this game.



On top of that from what we've seen PDX totally understands that every fan has its own wished and is clearly trying to make the game as moddable as possible.
