I have no problems with his speech but it clashes with the way he's presented visually. Did they intentionally cut off every frame where he blinks? He looks menacing but the voice is soft and soothing.

Looking forward to the new patch, against my better instincts. It's still quite a deep game, and I love most of these changes. Really really glad they took out instant religious and culture conversion, it felt absolutely bizarre.

So, trying this game again now that we've got a new patch. Playing Rome because the title of the game implies they have the most effort put in. Thoughts so far: * Rome gets a ton of free claims after month one, so don't make any alliances or fabricate claims until then. * I don't understand military stuff at all, beyond basic poo poo like terrain and supply limit. Do I want my army to be a third light infantry, a third heavy infantry and a third cavalry like the starting Roman army is? How many units should I have? What's this counter for how many units to put "on the flank"? Why is the centre of my battle line entirely composed of archers, that doesn't seem right. * There don't seem to be alerts for extra nations joining a war against you. I had a war against the Sabines (a small country to the North of Rome) and with no notifications at all I ended up at war with three extra countries on top. I'm gonna have another go at it, this time turning Iron Man off and doubling the size of the Roman army to three legions of 4/4/4 light/heavy/cavalry and see how I do.

Thoughts so far: About the military: Light Infantry is the worst, but the cheapest and takes little supply. They have their uses as a siege army, but not in battles, unless you can outnumber/overwhelm your opponent. Everything else is better, and horses are the best. you can check their specific counter and build accordingly depending on what the AI has/builds. small nations are usually guarantied by other nations, or in alliances, so check that before going to war. Haven't played since launch myself, But the patch looks good so far, will test it today.

Descar posted:small nations are usually guarantied by other nations, or in alliances, so check that before going to war. Nah, I checked that, both specifically on their diplomacy screen before the war and in the war declaration screen. I guess they just got into a bunch of alliances during the war or something. My game where I started as Rome by building up to three 4/4/4 armies before going to war has gone much better. Now I'm just screwing up the loyalty game - my favourite trick seems to be giving a position to a member of a scorned family in an attempt to unscorn the family and make them loyal, but the position isn't enough to do that so I get the worst of both worlds - a scorned family that now controls powerful positions.

Anyone with the Epirus DLC here? Do you guys know if the Epirotes get free claim events? They probably get some in Magna Graecia but I'm interested in knowing if they also get free claims in Greece proper.

Started up an Egypt game. The game definitely feels more substantial now, and removing the instant pop conversion was an extremely good move. I didn't have anything against monarch power in theory, but the new political power system seems to be an okay solution. Also I know the game has always has an "am I more CK or more EU" ambiguity, but at least I feel like the character stuff is flavorful enough now that I can build at least SOME kind of narrative around my ruling family. Which is nice if you're a fluffy player like me. I'm a little afraid that playing as a tribal is still going to suck rear end, but I might give it a go here in a bit.

Which is nice if you're a fluffy player like me. So far I actually find tribal and monarchies the most fun. They really made centralizing and decentralizing tribes much more intuitive by breaking the laws up into independent tracks. The clan chiefs give a certain long term character continuity that can draw you into caring about the characters. Republic mechanics seem mostly ignorable and leaders change often enough that you don't really build relationships with individual characters. You just get thrown new leader who might as well be random every 5 years and run with it. Overall I think there's a solid game with this patch. The thing that most impressed me with my playthrough was how well balanced the military game was. Even after I grew to be the biggest power in the region, there were no easy wars. The interactions between attrition and manpower, combined with the diplomatic side and mercenaries, meant that I could only overwhelm small powers by draining my manpower reserves and I rarely met my full war goals. Playing in Arabia, the supply could be so vicious that I'd actually build cities near contentious borders to up the supply and support a bigger garrison.

There a good effortpost for what's changed between release and 1.2? Lots of stuff seems different now, boats, buildings, inventions, pop migration and assimilation, cities vs settlements, food and population cap, those would be the big ones I'm wondering about. Felt like I knew what to do with the release mechanics, now I'm kinda lost. What's optimal and efficient now?

V for Vegas posted:Great patch, feels like there are more character based events and interactions? I hope that they lean into that more for future updates. Same here, the more internal drama, the more the nation feels alive. Playing as migrating tribe now, and so far i noticed : - Retinues are a lot smaller, instead of getting 50k troops, they stay on 6-9k, free troops but mostly useless. - due to retinues being so small, unloyal clan chieftains aren't a threat anymore and - - every civil war i had as a tribe before, was because of unloyal retinues that accounted for more then 1/3 of my army, they don't even come close now. - stability at less then 1, but my tribe has never been more stable. (you use stability to migrate) - Barbarians never settle, or wants to settle, no matter what. (they always used to want to), so no more troubling free pops to rise your population like i used to. - Migrations are now faster then before, which is good. - treasury is mostly positive, but still can't afford new inventions or buildings. I'd like to see how this patch plays in multiplayer, see if all empires are still as stable as before

KOGAHAZAN!! posted:Laws. Your main source of centralisation is laws. Ah, derp. Okay, so I'm sitting at 100% centralization with a +35% maximum civilization level with Menapia in AUC 485 (god I hate this loving calendar they chose). Seems like my main bottleneck now in order to become non-tribal is that maximum civilization level, which I can only raise via research at this point (I already took Rights of Birth). However it seems like my pops refuse to promote into citizens, which I desperately need in order to fix my 8% research efficiency. Despite having all of my provinces on the "Social Mobility" governor policy for what feels like ages, none of my pops are currently promoting to civs. In fact, most of them are showing as demoting to Slaves. Do tribesmen need to be demoted to slaves before they are then eligible for promotion into freemen, and then citizens?

You can found a city in your capital and use the, uh, the civilisation-boosting thing. It's on the left hand side of the province view, looks like a marble block and a pillar iirc. Expensive as all get-out, though. A city'll fix your citizen problem too, I think- that's where citizens like to be.

If that's the case then you want to build more... well I can't remember which building, but the one that gives +citizen fraction ^^agreed that monarchies are more fun to play right now. The constantly changing leaders in republics are kind of a pain in the rear end. I think if their terms were longer, and could be extended via tyranny (which already might be in, it's been a minute), and the party effects were stronger or otherwise significant, that would help a bit.
