Really great with the trade links. No more COTs.

Its been removable in every other game (hmm, CK?), so why not this one?

In CK you got a code to turn it off.

I hope we'll see more hierarchic organization of the state in Rome, like you did in CK. I loved to be a subordinate at first and having to follow my boss orders until I advanced throw the ranks and I become king of the country. Also I enjoyed seeing my subordinates having their own initiatives. I hope in future developer diaries you’ll talk more about this.

Sweet, I'm liking this. Trade goods look to add something interesting to them again, somewhat like vicky had. Can't wait for this game to be finished so I can get my grubby hands on it

The portrait is looking good.

It would be nice to have thicker, chunkier borders on the map. It would suit the large provinces, and the borders in the FoW area (?) there in the bottom left don't really stand out.

I wondering if Paradox will ever exceed the old, one trade good per province? Obviously it would be to late for this game. But in the future? Realistically there are numerous goods per province. I do understand that this represents the most plentiful. But does it complicate the trade system if you stray from one per province? Maybe have quantities of the top 3 goods or something more quantified? Just wondering

Just pretend that in the original design docs the provinces were three times as large.

Nice features!

Carthage is already history?

Click to expand...

I should hope so. The date is 58 BC (or 59).

Anyway, I'm excited for the different types of government. I wonder what other types there will be?

I'm sure there will be a Merchant Republic, a straight Oligarchy (like ancient Sparta), several monarchies....

I like the trade route ideas. I am assuming the three little guys are the three advisors for the whole republic?

I'd guess the three social classes, with the percentages of the province that are that particular class in the columns below.
