lol dude, i always saw you in every post complaining about the changes. Is okay, is your opinion =). I prefer what they did there. Since the have implemented the new titles rank of a country, it is obviously that they change the "goverment" to feudal monarchy. Perhaps it was not okay to put it on Feudal Monarchy, since ERE was not like the Western nations. Probably, with the influx of the Crusades, Byzantine Nobility started to create "Feudal Territories" but, theoracally it was still a "central government". At the end of the life of the ERE, the Basileus did not have more power even in those little territories, except in Constantinople. Thats why Morea still survived even when the Ottomans conquer the capital: there was no "royal" power there.
I like that they changed it to Feudal, it represented what happened there: from a Central government to a "Semi-Feudal" government; meanwhile in the west the change was from a Feudal Government to a Central Government.
PS: BTW I am Byzantophile.
The problem is that even in it's much more decentralized and weakened form, the Byzantine government had an entirely different structure than that of a Western kingdom. The Feudal Government type is meant to represent those western kingdoms, and thus cannot possibly be the Byzantine government. Just because you're a Byzantinophile doesn't make you right about Byzantium.
