army reserves of plebs . they are random citizens until you turn into soldiers so it make sense that they look like this to me .

We have confirmation, this is actually manpower. This is a picture of a slide from Johan's presentation. Took this from a post on reddit.

Damn already the same monarch point system as EU4 (admin, dip and military). I'm already disliking this.

But the tyranny mechanic looks promising though. Like certain autoritarian and not-senate-approved actions ive you tyranny points, up to a level when you might sieze power and become emperor or king or whatever, or the senate or governors revolt in civil war against you. Awesome.

I saw it on reddit. Apparently each mana its gonna be for specific parts of the games, like civic for laws and such and oratory for diplomacy, so it's not going to be general for everything they can come up with like UE4, thank god. That's much better.

Why is oratory a national resource, though? Shouldn't it be an individual character's ability?

I think EU-Rome had things to handle this. You could get a character who was a pathetic orator but a master of administration, or a Cicero-incarnate who sucked at military and command.

Just mana mate. Yes, characters will still have skills, such as oratoria itself. Its just a name that may even change for diplomatic actions mana.
