Grand Strategy Imperator: Rome - the new grand strategy from Paradox

[Kyl Von Kull]

Unholy union of CK2 and Rome and EUIV.
Desire to see more intensifies.
Will not buy if I will not be able to have incestous relationships and wed 12 year old daughters of important Senators

Is it wrong that I always use incest to solve my problems in CK2? “Uh oh, my female cousin is making a play for my crown, better seduce her... uh oh, my sister is making a play for the crown, better seduce her... uh oh, my mom wants to put my brother on the throne, gulp, better seduce her... fuck, my sister found out about my cousin and my wife found out about my sister and the pope found out about my mother, time to put down a rebellion.” The seduction button is more trouble than it’s worth.

So 303BC, right after Antigonus One Eye ruined his army trying to take Rhodes but a couple of years before Seleucus, Ptolemy and Lysimachus of Thrace wiped him out. Good time to consolidate.

Worked well IRL

Hey, practically the whole world is monotheistic today. Tut’s daddy Akhenaten was clearly onto something big. Although maybe it says something unfortunate that the father of monotheism is also the father of that.

Battle Tactics:
Choose your approach before battle to counter the stratagems of your foes.

Jesus, finally. How many years did it take to finally implement this? Now fingers crossed that it'll actually make some difference and the battle will be more than terrain modifiers and fucking dice rolls.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Looks ripe for DLC

 

[Life of the Party]

Yeah, the game starts five minutes before Ipsus but expect to eventually Make Asia Great Again as Cyrus and Build the Wall as Hadrian.

Rahdulan makes a good point though. Let's hope you won't have to wait for years in order to have fun with anyone not named Rome.

They have to leave some room for early starting date DLCs. Alexander DLC incoming.

Holy shit, a diadochi grand strategy!? Sign me up, hetairoi.

Hey Agesilaus look!

Thanks, this is great news. In the thread about Paradox announcing two new games this month, I was very tempted to post "EU: Rome 2" as a joke. Glad it's actually going to be a reality, although let's hope it turns out better this time around.

450AVC start date? Looks like Agis IV and Kleomenes III will have a second chance! Spartan revolution imminent~

 

[fantadomat]

I looks like a mod. It will be bare bones at release. Also i noticed that it have a new mana bar at the top,the first three are from EU4,but the fourth one looks mysterious.

 

[Agesilaus]

Hmm there are a lot of provinces squished into the Peloppnnesos. That is very promising, perhaps they did their research and discovered that the region was very active in the 3rd century.

 

[catfood]

I'm not terribly optimistic but this is my favorite time period so I can't wait to not physically remove it from an inventory. Hopefully the dacians will be playable by the 6th DLC.

Why spain is so bare? It's not like there were no life or tribes in the mainland, instead of coasts only.

I thought that was terra incognita - or possibly DLC

[Fedora Master]

Can't wait to lead Rome as a proud Empress of color.

 

[Sranchammer]

...is Egypt black?

 

[The Wall]

...is Egypt black?

It seems to be grey. Is it populated and ruled by Greys? I'm not saying it is but it is.

 

[fantadomat]

The map doesn't look impressive. I have the feeling that the game will be short and empty.

What color?

I'm not certain that this apparent nuclearity of provinces is that good of a design decision in the logn run.
Sure it's great for historical nuance and all, but in terms of management it will either be mad annoying or on auto-pilot. And since they probably won't propose much more than ck2 or eu4 in terms of military management (which could give it some extra purpose), i'm not sure how it will turn out.
Unless it's there to support a mechanic similar to ck2's domain limit, maybe tied with a province governor system. If we can modify province borders for instance, then I'd see the point.
