I like that you can star a character to kinda keep better tabs on them.

Wafflecopper posted:Not sure how I feel about these new loyalty mechanics. You certainly have to be very careful who you put in charge of your armies. I gave my only stack to a dude with 40 loyalty because I remembered that giving dudes commands increased their loyalty in the old version. It still does, but it also increases their power base, which decreases their loyalty, and the change is of course now immediate. He immediately went rogue and started the civil war timer. RIP that run, at least it wasn't too far in. I don't get what was wrong with the way loyalty worked before, at least if you screwed up you had time to deal with it. Maybe I just need to play more and get a better handle on it. On another attempt now and I gave my army to a guy who had 100 loyalty. My ruler died, a new one got elected, and suddenly my general was the head of another family or party or something, which meant he had a huge power base and was now immediately disloyal. I had to ostracize him to avoid a civil war and now I'm at 80 tyranny (after also having to ostracize another guy) which has pushed my admiral into disloyalty and now I can't ferry my troops around to fight the war I'm in and also the civil war timer is ticking again  I don't think I like these new mechanics at all. Maybe I should just give up on using generals. e: Reloaded (save scumming for now while I try to figure things out) and even with no generals, I have a guy disloyal and starting a civil war just because of his power base as a head of family, he doesn't even have any troops. This poo poo is actually broken and unplayable and I'm somebody who actually enjoyed the previous version. Gonna shelve the game until it gets some patching.

Personally I would love if the game covered the entire history of the empire from the current start point to the fall of the western empire. If EU4 can handle the discovery of the new world, the protestant reformation, the rise of absolute monarchies, the french revolution and the Napoleonic Wars then a Rome game can handle the republic, the imperial period, the rise of christianity, the crisis of the third century, the huns and the eventual fall.

In fairness, EU4 can't handle the French Revolution or Napoleonic Wars in anything resembling a reasonable sense.

On top of the religion bug I also saw that the game is loading with the wrong rulers when I select a country. Sparta is led by some Athenian guy and when I tried an Egypt it was led by a Selucid. Im just gonna give this one a day or two for a hotfix.

Yeah, good call. Just got the conditions for the From Potter to King achievement, but it says I'm ineligible because my king is dead or not ruler. Except..  So, about as solid a release as Imperator was

I'm enjoying this now to the point it will be hard to go back to EU4. The map is better and I really like the warfare system with food and the interplay of different units. There is lots of peace time activity with pops and characters as well.

I figured out that the bug with the religion tab was caused by an old mod I had installed that I forgot about. Turned it off and its fine. Still have that problem with sparta being led by an athenian minor character who cant marry though

got a few hours in and tbh I didn't find the new loyalty system to be that bad, I just gave free hands to anyone that was disloyal and that solved it I'll probably have to deal with their corruption eventually but thats a future problem Only other thing that I'm gonna have to figure out is how to navigate the rats nest of alliances in Greece, I allied Phrygia in hope of using them against Macedon but they're being a giant drama queen about joining my wars, one second they're good to go, I prepare for the war, and then after a month they decide that they actually don't want to join So far its more interesting than the Rome and Parnia games I had played a few months back because unlike Rome you don't have a golden path to walk where you just get free everything on your way to inevitable victory and unlike Parnia you aren't just twiddling your thumbs waiting for the Selucids to eat poo poo.

So, they've made Imperator free to play till tomorrow. So I got it. Looking through the tutorial. It's trying to teach me, but the thing it hasn't bothered to tell me is how to make money. May I please ask where to start?

Bloodly posted:So, they've made Imperator free to play till tomorrow. So I got it. Looking through the tutorial. It's trying to teach me, but the thing it hasn't bothered to tell me is how to make money. Money comes from four sources: Tax, Commerce, Events and Tribute Commerce is a bit weird but you get money both from every trade route you have (doesn't matter whether its import or export) and your Citizen pops also generate some Events isn't something you can really count on with one exception, whenever you capture a city you sometimes get an event on how hard you want to sack it which can result in hundreds of ducats in one burst, I think this event is more likely if your ruler is leading the army but I'm not sure Tribute is just whenever you have a vassal and they pay you a monthly amount of money Tax is the big one and its generated by Slaves, Freemen and Tribesmen. Unless you are an uncivilized tribe the one you care about is Slaves which are the pops that generate the most tax. You can get Slaves in three ways: Pop Growth, occupying cities in a war and slave raids. Pop growth is gonna happens on its own and you mostly don't need to pay attention to it, Sieging down cities in war will turn a certain number of pops (based on city size) into slave and ship them off either to your capital or another nearby city you own (the game does this on its own so you don't really get to pick where they end up) and Slave raids are an action you get from certain cultural traditions and can do with your ships where you raid an adjacent coastline for slave pops and it will piss off whoever's coast you are raiding

Depends on the tribe, some of the Steppe tribes can be pretty nasty. Really the downside to being a tribe is that your tribesman pops dont generate research other than than you can make it work for a while

I downloaded this again for the free week, and what the gently caress am I supposed to be doing? I've got almost 3000 hours on EU4 but this game feels insanely overwhelming. And not in a good way. e: like in EU4 it's pretty easy for me to see how well my country is going, but in Rome it's just loving numbers everywhere and I have no idea which ones are actually important.

My problem is that while I think I know how to paint the map, I'm not sure if I'm doing it well or how to use the various systems in place to accomplish it. Been playing as Pontus and in my two starts the game says my leader has a spouse, but going to her character sheet, she's married to someone else which is hilarious but also a bug I think?
