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.

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.

Some day I will have to retry Vicky again....don't recall it holding my attention much back in the day but maybe I didn't give it enough of a try.

Been wanting this; top of my Pdox wishlist.  :bd:

I just hope they give it a more thorough treatment than EU Rome got.  Need more in many areas, but especially character interaction like that in CK2.

Also:

Does the following screenshot imply that there will be more command options for armies.  Those order buttons at the top of the army window, in this screenshot, seems to indicate there will be more detailed orders available than earlier games using the engine.

And yes, Johan as said this is a big project. Not a small one like EU Rome 1 was or MotE

Yes. If this is CK in Rome, I'll be very, VERY excited. I enjoyed EU: Rome even though I felt it was very underwhelming. Compared to the other EU titles, it just seemed quite simple and watered down.

A fully realized grand strategy game set in ancient Rome will be a dream come true.

I completely agree with you on both points.

You can have a city with 3 slave pops that are all of different culture/religion from each other.

The more I hear the more I think it's going to be the better looking sister to EU Rome, with longer legs; bigger boobs, and special moves.

There's a thread on redit with lots of inform from a IGN guy. Can we link redit here ?

So as IGN guy it seems he got to chat to Johan and get quite a lot out of him. Obviously Alpha so much is not 'confirmed' but it all sounds like Johan/Pdox meat and potatoes. Just mixed well in the antiquity setting.

Scroll down to see the answers to specific questions.

I havent't seen the start date for this. But if its at the start of the 1st Punic War and there is a converter to CKII, then you could have a game going all the way to 1812. Thats over 2000 years of game play.
