    stylistically it looks like the imperator rome map. if i were paradox i would want to avoid that association like a plague. regardless i doubt it’ll be good the way paradox is now.

      Opinion especially among the more hardcore map Gamers has kinda turned on imperator. Played it with the big fan mod that mostly just ads flavor stuff to fill out the map and it was head and shoulders above ck2 vic3. The mechanics are really quite good.

        Yeah they put some work in post launch and it improved quite a bit. Plus it would be hard to be worse than EU4’s “watch points go up”

        i liked it, what’s there is solid… as long as you play as rome. just like eu4 the mana point system sucks but managing ideal pop composition and different cultures and religions adds a layer of depth that the culture system in eu4 really lacks. it was mostly the lack of flavour that’s the issue and i never got around to modding it. all in all it was a miss for its time and paradox learned nothing from it.
