In the real world, your consciousness doesn't immediately possess a designated heir the day you die, either. Therefore, CK3 should give you one life to live and it's game over when you die.

You can make an argument for abdication not switching player control to a new character, but this would be neither more nor less realistic than the current system.

Yeah just imagine if there weren't Vicky 3 jokes, people might have to put in effort into their posts / jokes instead of repeating the same tired line for years and years and years

it's scientifically proven that the more times you make the exact same joke, the funnier it gets :science:

If Paradox announced Vicky 3, it would come out just in time to start bugging them about CK3.

I hope Imperator gets at least some of the rpg aspects added in over time so that I won't have to wait for CK3 for that awesome blend of rpg and grand strategy game.

Characters have traits and stuff so you have the comedy value of "oh look my best general has brain damage" etc. but I'm pretty sure that will be it.

Yeah, who knows. I've kinda scaled back my expectations for the game given this thread, but I'm sure I'll end up getting it because I'm a huge classical history fan.

I dunno if there is that big of a difference with Imperator compared to Stellairs or if that many of us are just now that much more bitter, but I remember the hype for Stellaris got real. I'm glad to see some more tempered expectations, honestly.

I’m insanely hype for imperator, to counterbalance the tempered expectations. I’m fully prepared to be let down, but it’s my last week of work before I go back to school and honestly I may take a few days off to play it

I'm looking forward to it purely in the context that it's not a million miles away from being EU4 without overseas colonisation and with a much more detailed map, better tech system, and slightly improved combat. All of which are very good things.

Yeah this is pretty much my take on it, hopefully the release version has enough stuff under the hood compared to current EU4 to be interesting for a few runs.

"I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

I think even if it's very similar to EU4 it might be nice to have an EU4-type paradox game where the whole system isn't weighted to give Europe a huge advantage over every other region.

Unfortunately they just did it with Italy instead but at least Greece and Mesopotamia are also densely populated as counterbalances (though Italy is still overpopulated compared to those regions).
