Had the opportunity to play around with the preview build of Sengoku and wrote a little preview of it on Tacticular Cancer for those interested.

Hmm... "Provinces however are pretty much all the same with only the level of upgrading and what religious buildings or guild buildings being added making any real difference". Does it mean that all provinces start with the same stats (tax income, number of levies ect.)? That would be a major step-back compared to previous PI titles, more or less reflecting historical differences between various regions. I hope it's not like this.
Anyway, good and honest preview.

i think they may be still in the process of working on the regions perhaps

One of many great pictures created by our new artist for Sengoku and CKII.
The only difference in provinces at this moment is that some of the mayor clans have a few that are a bit more build up. Meaning they might have some guild slots opened, a religious building and already several levels of the fort and village. Tax and amount of levy troops are tied to how far the fortress and village have been upgraded. So all provinces give the same tax and levy at their corresponding village and fortress levels. Unless there are other modifyers like buildings from guild slots that is. I honestly don't think they'll change all this around in the next month or so. As I said, it's a very streamlined game.
Oh, the artwork I've seen of the loading screens is pretty awesome indeed.
My regards to your artist, then. The entire layout of the UI looks very appealing and for lack of a better word fresh.
Are there any difference between say mountain and forest provinces? Or there are absolutely no difference except buildings?
I think they are all the same, but terrain should play some role, or at least maybe the buildings available for different terrain types.
All provinces are the same, there are no strategic resources and terrain has no impact on what buildings are available. Terrain like mountains and rivers does have an effect on battles though.
I figured as much. Same thing has been announced for Crusader Kings 2. Nice preview.
Seriously? I missed that. You mean that in CK2 you won't have rich and poor provinces like they had in CK1? No more fetid marshes, lush forests and grassland provinces bestowing a bigger or smaller bounty on their owners? Shame.
More precisely, taxes are determined first by settlement type (town, castle, bishopric) then by the buildings that exist there, in CK2. To quote Doomdark precisely:
The number of settlements (baronies) in each county will be between one and eight, so I guess that this is how they will model rich and poor counties off the bat: I assume counties in really desolate places will have one or two baronies while rich ones (like say Paris or Byzantium) will have all 8 at the starting date.
It definitely seems as if Paradox is trying to make this game as user friendly as possible for all the new comers to the PI genre.
User friendliness is not a bad thing.
I remember I ragequited twice before I learned how to play CK.

Damn, I remember when they announced it , but i didn't know it was this far along.
When is this game coming out?
