Someone posted this over at the Pdox forums and I think it's a great idea

Quote
Could be something like adventurers from ck2, a roman general creates his own tag starts a war and then tries to call Rome into it as an ally they have to decide to either back him or lose his legion, or worst he actually suceeds and returns to rome as a hero making all the people back home look like asses. Could lead to even greater things, how do you deal with him? Arrest him? But he's popular? But that's the problem isn't it? murder him in his sleep? Frame him for treason or conspiracy against the republic (always a classic in roman politics)? Maybe spread the rumour he wants to become king, and pray to the gods that the people of Rome don't decide they would prefer him as king to the senate.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The number of characters is going to be limited, so the bigger you get, the more ambitious, disloyal guys you'll have to appoint to positions.

QuoteThere is a kind of character management in Imperator - of your governors and generals, who you can swap out for the betterment of your empire. It turns out Andersson is interested in personalities insofar as they enable, for him, the most crucial aspect of this period in Roman history - civil war. Every army has a human being at its head, with their own traits and loyalties. Keeping track of them, and of who might turn your own troops against you, is a central consideration for any would-be Imperator.

The map is growing. Tribes now spotted in Britain, northern Germany, Scandinavia and the Ukraine. And the Zoom! Sweet mother of God, the Zoom!  :worthy:

Skip tp 4:09 unless you know German (or Swedish?)

Remember to slaughter all the Romans at the Caudine Forks when playing the Samnites.

A joke so good it took edits to formulate.

Nope.

Got a good pan over of the map from Britain to Bangledesh here from 1:25 to 2:13

Also, I've seen more than one source say that the end date is 32AD.

Which is kind of odd. You'd think 27 BC, 14 AD, or 68 AD would make more sense from the history of Rome.

This just smacks of them being terrified of implementing the birth of Christianity.

Or, birth of Christianity is not a bad place to start an expansion with rather different gameplay  :hmm:

I'm quite pleased with the time slice covered by the game. It is a recognizable "period" in history and the game rules can cover that. I think that EUIV struggles with this and would be better as two games. A more focused approach will allow for greater detail on the game mechanics appropriate to the period in question.

Yeah, that looks a lot like a Jesus expansion.
And the map seems very much made for an Alexander expansion, as well.

The way they set the map looks like they're preparing for a Warring States plus Korea expansion.

What would be interesting is an expansion (or even a full game) taking place between 33 and 768 CE (i.e. between this game and CK2), where you have the rise of the new religions, Christianity and Islam, and can influence how their dogma develops. Probably won't happen though as such a game could stir some serious shit. :P
