Jesus fuck

Also, less generous than HoI4's top tier which had like 3 or so major DLC included?

Little gameplay preview. 6 whole minutes!

I think I'll be fine with most new things and the new looks except the whole XP and levelling up characters thing. That's going to yank me too hard out of my illusion of playing a historical strategy game.

[Josquius]

$30 expansions? Jeebus.

[The Brain]

Zounds! Is there a single true fan among you all?

[FunkMonk]

Wait there's an XP and leveling system? 

"RICHARD the LIONHEART has won a battle! +1000 experience points awarded. Pick your NEW PERK!"

I mean this is a several centuries long game, I cannot imagine anybody wants a RPG where you level characters up and then start over again from level 0 several times during a game,

I did like that weird quasi-Catholic Celtic religion they had in Ireland in the video though, that is a nice way of handling how Ireland worked back in the dark ages. It seemed ahistorical to have them as Catholic as France in CK2.

1066 is a horrible starting date for Eastern Europe, I sure hope we get better starting dates as we cannot just start whenever like we used to.

Ireland was more Catholic than that nest of heresy - Arianism, Waldensians, Cathars, Henricians, the list is endless. It was the Isle of Saints and Scholars that kept Europe Catholic

Ok but they still had a system revolved around monasteries that was very unusual.

It will probably be a bit like Gloomhaven, where you get bonus perks for your next characters by retiring characters, and also unlock new classes.

Why do you hate Ireland?

[Solmyr]

So they went the route of royal ultimate super duper extra special edition and expansion pass. Yeah, pass. ( )

[Maladict]

So they went the route of royal ultimate super duper extra special edition and expansion pass. Yeah, pass.

Which includes a grand total of one expansion and some flavor fluff. Pass indeed.

"The RPG that will suck you into grand strategy". I would prefer it the other way around.
