Yeah that’s my favorite so far, too. It was a nice little story paced pretty well over 20 minutes.

Towards the end I realized I hadn’t looked at his character in awhile, and when he popped up to select a lifestyle perk I was momentarily taken aback by how much he had aged since I last saw him. It was oddly affecting.

I suppose, but the Crusades are literally what the game is named after. It's silly to have four or five achievements about the Reconquista, but none that relate to the most important historical events (or perhaps most wide-ranging in effect, at least) within this era. Hell, they have multiple achievements celebrating incest, which is illegal in much of the world.

Hey, dude, I really don’t disagree with you. I am just saying the “why” is obvious.

I think they deliberately left out "advisors" this time to try and force you into the position of either appointing skilled courtiers as councilors or keeping your vassals happy (and making do with whatever skills they happen to have).

I had the same reaction! Healthy young Achilles of Bohemia and then suddenly as he's achieving his goal we see that this is an aged man, who has been worn down by the years.

That's exactly what you need from a preview video. OP Bavarian has published a video that looks more like a challenge run. ManyATrueNerd is an entertaining youtuber but his video was about the game reacting to dumb roleplaying he's known for - again, something that is fine to watch when you actually know the game.

Three Moves Ahead podcast talked about the music a lot. It's very different from previous Paradox music where you just had a movie-style score playing in the background. Here the music is more ambient and subtle but deeply connected to what you see on the screen. Special event music is what you hear a lot, I understand.

Comely becomes Beautiful when they’re of age? Not sure. Not sure; maybe they’re separate. Watching the Ghana video.

Quill18’s seems pretty good, too. Post-unification Spain, and he sounds a bit like Wallace Shawn.

The hardest start one showed a lot of battles if that’s your thing.

A little weird that the intrigue icon on the map (bottom right) and beautiful trait icon are the same?

The amazing thing is of course going from "oh no, I need to reform my faith so that my cheating becomes legitimized" to "I've done so well going on a conquering spree, my faith's fervor is through the roof and it's too expensive to reform it now, but it doesn't matter, because nobody seems to seriously mind my adulterous ways".

It seems like certain congenital traits (Intelligence/Physique/Attractive) have levels, this is referred to in the "Blood" legacy where it talks about strengthening congenital traits. I believe Comely is level 1 attractiveness, Pretty is level 2, while Beautiful is level 3. Likewise that Amazonian/Herculean trait posted earlier is almost certainly max level physique.

I find all those videos unwatchable - every one i tried seems to have weird cuts in the action, with armies jumping around a lot, things happening far to quick. Are they all just playing at a very quick speed without ever pausing when in the character interfaces / responding to events, or are they just cut a lot to keep time down ?

The dev livestream didnt have that problem, that was really enjoyable.
