yay!

edit: will there be any work on Legacy of Rome type mechanics from a catholic point of view, so that it's possible to reform the Roman Republic? That'd be pretty awesome.

Can a Serene Doge have a Doge as a vassal?

Can a Doge get himself elected or otherwise obtain an Imperial title?

When you say Feudal lords cannot switch to Republican style gameplay, is it perhaps possible to, as a feudal lord, to make your heir a doge, and when he inherits your kingdom, does he become a serene doge?

Does the game automatically generate Patrician families in any player created republics?

This looks pretty freakin' sweet.

It's a shame that you can't "switch" from feudal to merchant Republic, though.

Still, I am glad to see this. Can't wait until it's out.

Thank you Paradox!

Yeah, I'm really excited for it.

But I also wish that you could switch, by a very difficult process.

As I asked elsewhere, can the 5 main Families in Republics be relegated and new patricians be promoted from the lesser merchant families?

It doesn't seem logical that the exactly same families were in power from 1066-1400

Ooh! Interesting. One question though. Can we use the ruler designer on the patrician families so that I could, for example, create a Corleone family?

Well, this means the Game of Thrones mod might finally be expanding east to Essos. A win in my book.

more or less precisely as I envisioned it

must-buy ^.^

P.S: I assume you can pick to play as any of the great families in a republic [even to begin as one that is not elected]. Furthermore, could two republics be ruled by the same family without being the same realm?

It's time to play my homeland Hamburg!

Did your people know that Hamburg had ban all nobilities from the city in the 13th century? Sinice around 1270 no nobleman was allowed to life in Hamburg.

I think people are quite surprised by the decision to make a Republic DLC before a pagan one and some of them will probably yell and be all "Why didn't you [PI] give me Nazi-Vikings?!".

Time for my kings and emperors to pay lip service to El Papa and to do business with some businessmen.

I was concerned about a merchant republic DLC not working well or being interesting to me, but at first glance it seems my fears were unfounded.

Don't know if I'll actually play them, but the feudal/republican interaction mechanics seem really interesting at first glance

I assume Novgorod is playable too now? You focused a lot on the Hanseatic League and Italy in the article.

On the Hansa: What if Denmark owns that entire region? Are they still magically the vassals of the HRE?
