I was unsure about your ability to make a game with a timeline like EU3 and all the characters, but apparently you did so. I just wonder how accurately it is and if the late saves will be enormous.

Also, is this music for CK2? I remember that there was a teaser in a DD, I think for Victoria II. Could it be... Rome II?

Will 'major' families like the Hapsburgs, Wittlesbachs, Capets, and Plantgenets have their actual coat of arms?

And I assume it will be easy to customise randomly generated CoAs through eg save game editing?

Every portrait looks nearly the same :(

Alpha ;)

Only 5 children slots? I hope that's just for the sake of family tree management, and not a limit.

Look closely at 1.10m in the video. There is an arrow down button on the family tree, next to the bottom child in the list.

Actually the Characters don't all look the same. Check 2:08 where you see the emperor and Edward III side by side, plus some vassals of Edward's on the right.

In the family trees they look similar because they many of those shown are closely related. In addition the images are quite small.

And all the females are obvious placeholders :)

Great video! The family trees really appeal to the genealogist in me :D
