I don't really agree that they would become unrealistic. You could always modify the battle lengths as happened in HOI2 with TRP. Or maybe add a longer period before battle starts during which the armies find their positions, chill out, drink coffee, chat about politics, or whatever they did that did not include combat.

What was the outcome of this major battle you saw, if I may ask?
Thanks.
That will make skirmishing impossible, among other things. Because the moment your 2000-strong cavalry force engages the enemy (when the "waiting period" ends), it will be wiped out.
Hm... concerning the prolonging of battles, wouldn't it be simply possible to decrease the effectivity modifiers in the unit .txt files by, say, factor ten? Or is effectivity measured on a one-dimensional scale where weaker attack also means weaker defense?

Playing as Rome. One reinforced Legion in Carthage, about 7000 troops (2 LI, 3 HI, 2 Archers) versus roughly 9,000-11,000 Carthaginians. I was victorious, losing about 20%, the Carthaginians lost 30-40%. I was defending.
overall i like the demo, im abit worried about the amount of senators we have free and it can be abit difficult to keep track of all of them.
What I do find annoying is the amount of Senators that are over 65. I click on one and wonder if I am going to click on Roberious Birdius. I have to find young men to lead armies and here I have a bunch of old men in the pool.
Young men have too much time to accumulate loyal troops and political supporters. I think that 80-year old "one-shot" generals that last a single campaign season would be ideal Besides, if they get captured or killed, it's no big loss, since they were going to die anyway.

The thing is they will not make it through the campaign, they die in battle and the army loses.
Obviously gonna need a force consolidation AI patch, think that happened in some of the others too?
It's not that bad with armies, but I've had bigger problems handling naval AI in HoI2 than here.
Overall the game looks very promising. Looking forward to playing it from the smaller beginnings. Love the graphics, and I think I will get to love the character system when getting used to it (never played CK)
A few issues and suggestions:
It is probably too late, but I would really like the Tooltips in the top of the screen to give access to the ledger or the individual province in question. If you for example have a province with no governor a right click on the tooltip should make you jump to the relevant province. This is something I would love for EU3 as well
Perhaps possible in a patch?
Also: too few provinces in the med (Sicily!), and too many in the less civilised arrears. This is probably something a clever modder will take care off in weeks though
And I agree that the battles are too indecisive.
Kind regards, and looking forward to receiving the game.

Thoroughly glad I pre-ordered, I had a lot of fun in the demo.
I'm having trouble civilising provinces so I can go on colonisation sprees, but apart from that annoyance everything seems pretty intuitive. Battles are fairly consistent and when I loose I can see why. Mainly it's because I'm working off the EU3 system where an army of 10-15k is useful even until the mid-game. I'm not used to armies of 40k swarming me out of Egypt.
One thing I'm concerned with is the small number of national ideas that you can have active at any time. Three-4 doesn't seem like much if it's stuck like that for the entire game.

The lack of a spacebar pause as others have already mentioned makes the interface again more mousey. I am for the bar.
So far, I think it is promising having flavour.

Which is totally historical, IMHO. You think that's bad? The Roman Senate had far more than 65 old women and fools in the Senate during the Republic.
Maybe not 70 year olds, but 60 year olds I can see. The average age was not as high as today and of course we have to estimate the age of some of our historical figures back then.

there was an age-requirement along with a career-requirment for most senators iirc. and it was pretty high too.
The number of youngsters in the Senate *WAS* very limited. You'd have to be of a very reputed 'gens' (family), have an important godfather or be extremely gifted. Pompeius Magnus was an exception, ending up in the Senate so early.

Right - more diversity, and complexity is always welcome.
The problem lays with duplicating effects, You already have ideas (more so than in EU), as well as omen: so there only are so many variables You can elaborate on, before You create some overlap.
Aristocratic Monarchy does give a trade bonus (25%), I believe - which translates to a hefty pecuniary advantage, especially later ingame.
Military Republics or Tribes give discipline bonuses to their units.
Taxes, recruitment speed and assimilation time are not considered by government forms - on the other hand.
You also need consider character's impact on the game, thus You already have "Governors" affecting assimilation chances, as well as tax income.
Your reflection, considering the Roman struggle between Republic, Empire, Dictatorship and in earlier times Monarchy, is very relevant.
There is a fundamental difference between Republics and Monarchies, as it is. The former see their rulers "elected", meaning popularity, charisma and oftentimes family prestige, will matter: which enables one to prefer some potential rulers, over others (one can also assassinate characters).
Ruler's values (Military, Charisma, Finesse) influence the nation, and thus Republics are quite distinct, in that, from Monarchies, Dictatorships, Theocracies or Tribes - regardless of bonuses.
