I'm having fun with it.
I know it isn't historically perfect.
I know that there should be more units that behave differently.
I know the AI makes mistakes.
I know the map is wrong.
I know Epirus is doomed.
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera
It's still a helluva puzzle to solve and that's what I enjoy.
We all love history, but we realize this is just a game
We all know Rome did not field massive archer armies, but we realize this is just a game
We all know AI is not perfect, but we realize this is just a game
We all know geography better than Paradox, but we realize this is just a game
We all would love to see Epirus win without the help of mods... but we realize that someone in Paradox hates Epirus guts and we are ok with it...
I think it is the broken gameplay that causes the forums to go half-dead:
Too many governors for large empires that don't make much difference
Small states having to conquer a huge empire just to get one province out of the war
Trade routes system that is just too gamey and tiring with larger empires
