QuoteImperator: Rome's features include:

Character Management: A living world of characters with varying skills and traits that will change over time. They will lead your nation, govern your provinces and command your armies and fleets. We also introduce our new, more human-like character art.

Diverse Populations: Citizens, freemen, tribesmen and slaves - each population with its own culture and religion. Whether they fill your armies, fill your coffers or fill your colonies, keep an eye on their happiness - your success depends on their satisfaction.

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

Military Traditions: Each culture has a unique way of waging war. Romans and Celts have different options available to them. Unlock unique bonuses, abilities and units.

Different Government Types: Manage the senate in a Republic, hold your court together in a monarchy, answer to the clans in a tribal system.

Barbarians and Rebellions: Migrating barbarians may sack or settle your best land, while disloyal governors or generals can turn against you - taking their armies with them!

Trade: Goods provide bonuses to their home province. Will you take advantage of stockpiles for local strength or trade excess goods to spread the wealth around?

Provincial Improvement: Invest in buildings, roads and defences to make your kingdom stronger and richer.

Nah, excellent news would have been Victoria 3. This is just good news.  :P

Looking forward to it!

I see they're turning a number of PC games into board games too - no doubt to be padded out with a plethora of cardboard dlcs!

Nah, Rome better than Victoria :)

Heretic!

In seriousness, this does look very cool and no question I'll buy it.

I'm just really impatient for Vicky 3 at this point.

There was lots of speculation that as Chris King is back, he's working on Vic 3 for a 2019 ish announcement.

I'm ok with this...but I demand that they announce Vicky 3 next Paradoxcon  :knuppel2:

That being said, I love Rome. Been wanting a Rome grand strategy game for long time (I know there is TW Rome 2, but TW is crap).
PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic

I'm happy there will be a sequel to EU:Rome. It's a buy for me.

Not really a sequel. New IP, and Johan said a big project. So as long as it sells well should have a long life of improvements.

Early impressions are they are taking some things to next level.

As for Vic 3, it will come and look forward to how they move that forward.

It sounds from the description like CK2: Rome more than an EU:Rome.

Best bet at the mo' is a hybrid, with likely some other features neither have.

Drool.

Sounds more like a CK/Vicky combo with maybe just a dash of EU: Rome.

Drool again.

Now let's just fast-forward to 5 years from now when it's all patched up and in its prime.
