It sounds like battles will be very interesting. I am curious if you can choose the leaders of the army or the highest titled noble will always be prefered to an ordinary baron. If the former is true, then I can image that there will be hard choices - great leadership of a skilled baron or unqualified duke who thinks he should be in charge but whose loyalty is needed for stability of the realm?
Man that's a lotta good stuff.
edit: I'm going to guess that you'll be able to choose your commanders, but "command an army" will be an ambition (wasn't there one like that in Rome? I can't remember) It should make for some interesting situations when a moron wants the job.

The battle part got me. That was a good one. I hope choosing which leader goes would be interesting. More drama, the better.
Sounds great! He did not mention his sources, but some new morsels on battle. But the best part was that I laughed through the whole thing. I so have to write an AAR as a soap opera once this comes out.
I really like the interviews and previews at the moment ... normally they all just tell the same things, but there seems to be tidbits in each and everyone that are not covered by the others 
... so LOTS of small details have been revealed in the past week or so ... and some pretty darn good ones.
I am sure CK2 will be the greatest PI game to date ... lets just hope the fanbase do it justice by rewarding PI for their hard work by buying this gem.

I'm ready for pre-order myself. Maybe they can release a late beta before Christmas to pre-paying customers if they have enough subscribers. Not to rush our devs, we do love you guys! All I'm asking for is a stable game with some cool new features. I really appreciated King's comments last week on that. Then it's our jobs to push the limits of the new modified engine.
Thank you for the clarification. The battle system sounds very exciting.
Good preview, but it shows that while he claims to know CK1, he can't have known it well:
Buildings were part of CK1 too after all.

I think what he means by buildings are actually baronies
... which are new. At least that is how I read his interpretation of buildings.
^way better than CK1 buildings. Library: +5% gold but the province produced zero gold.

From what he's said previously (he's been pimping CKII on RPS quite satisfactorily for a while) he never actually got around to playing CK, just read an AAR that intrigued him enough to want to.
Yep, at least from the conversations I had with him, I think Quinns only read about CK numerous forums.
Those three commanders in a battle sounds really intriguing. It may actually make wars fun.
Also, battle events players have choices to make in? Maybe we'll have a more direct influence to make in combat this time around.
He mentioned a new engine, but I'm assuming by new engine, he just meant new graphical features. The game still uses Clausewitz, right?
Previous crusader king game was on Europa engine. So it's a new engine considering the series.
It's what was meant.
Could you detail a little bit ambitions of Rome please ?
My son wants to lead armies and get glory. I don't let him. He becomes mad, later rebellious because he thinks I don't like him as much as my other son, who already have led armies in war for five years and have become the hero of the nation.
