I understand there will be more trade items in Imperator than there is in EU4. This makes me wonder, so I would like to ask, are provinces restricted to producing a single trade good only or will provinces have the ability to produce more than a single trade good? Also, will there be an option to change certain trade goods that are produced in a province? For example, livestock being produced in province A but you want to change the trade goods in province A to grain? Of course certain goods, such as iron or coal or gold, should not be transferable as they are mined goods.

Yes, thank you. I posted here also in the event that others might be wanting to ask the same thing or that a developer might want to answer the question here. I might miss the live Q and A so I might not know if they select my question.

How will the colonization system impact your economy and politics. When will that option be available in the game and which nations can do that? And since most of the Mediterranean is owned by a country where will “colonial” expansion occur most likely (Black Sea)?

Many thanks from Serbia

No it's not. It's similiar because it's a sequel. Or do you call EU4 a EU3 copycat? CK2 a CK1 copycat?
EU4 added mana points which completely changed gameplay, CK1 and CK2 only share same title name, almost nothing is the same

EU Rome and Imperator tho - well, Imperator will have DLCs, now thats step into future

Q: Is this EU - rome with new dlc conveyor?
A: Yes, it is
Q: Is this a sequel to EU - Rome?
A: Yes it is

Q: Have we seen all the mechanics of Imperator to judge that it has nothing different from EU - Rome?
A: No we haven't, so it is unfair to judge.

Q: Do you even own EU - Rome?
A: Based on your badges, no you don't.

Q: Are you being a bit of an ass?
A: Yes most definitely.

The combat system is very different, tribes can migrate in the base game, the map is larger, more detailed... It's a sequel, not a copy.
