Well thats a Friday and I doubt paradox would release on day when if things go pear shaped on release they're all home for the weekend.
Still the ides of march would be very appropriate for a release of a Rome game.
is there a family tree system in this? that is something that lacked in the Total War (Rome 2) version of this era. It then kind of breaks the immersion making you feel like this immortal god commanding an empire, while instead if you have a family tree with names (and portraits). That will significantly buff the immersion, and i like to imagine myself as that person. It would be like CK2.
Also i'm definitely playing Macedon first (just like i did in Rome 2), time to restore the Empire!

Uhuh.
Whelp, guess that'll be another one to the list of PDX games I will buy lots of stuff for and erratically play in fits and starts every few expansions...! Good job I'm patient...! And don't have all that muc else to burn pennies on these days[1].
Still, given a lot of the NON-PDX grand strat games I was waiting for have come out this year, something to look forward to.
Dangit, though, sounds like I wont be able to take a running start to world conquest as Rome via more than four games (kinda...!)

(iirc)
that's because Imperator means a person who has 'Imperium' which is basically the power of command. So depending on situation a consul, praetor, dictator, legate, tribune, etc etc can have Imperium, making him into an Imperator. Consequently the Roman Empire begins when Rome acquires it's first real provinces (and that's after the first Punic War) and ends in 476/1453. The period which we usually call the Roman Imperial Period is really the Principate and Dominate.
But we are all aware of that already I'm sure.
Nah, not really. Someone with imperium has to be declared imperator by his troops. Also, only consuls, praetors and dictators (and his magister equitem I think, but there is discussion about this iirc) have imperium, legates and tribunes don't. Also also the provincia of either a magistrate with or without imperium already existed before there were Roman 'provinces' as we know them, as the provincia literally means the task given to a magistrate.
They're actually making a spiritual successor to EU: Rome...
I never thought I'd see the day.

Yeah, the name Victoria can receive the same critics, with the difference that in Victoria you have to deal with Great Britain as super power global number one even if you play another nation. Here Rome have everything to build ast start.
If you follow my reasoning, I think that the game will be focused at start on a bunch of factions around the mediterranean sea that can share something with Rome. But the other faction will be expanded with DLCs, a lot of DLCs, especially the far ones. It's only CK2 experience. But I'm not saying nothing more, it's only a description based on elements we have.
True, and that map definitely is correct for 303 BC. But the opening post does state you can play from the "Glory days of Athens", which 303 BC is definitely not. I wouldn't be surprised (if the "Glory days of Athens" part is true) for a 453 BC/300 AUC start, or thereabouts.
And if we're going to use AUC, why not go whole hog and use the full Roman calendar, and call the date Kal. Ian. CDL AUC? Because I want to see people unfamiliar with the calendar to try to figure out what date a.d. X Kal. Mart. is, or, even more fun, deal with the intercalary month of Mercedonius!
