That's a pretty looking map, I wonder if there's much marketing post-processing on that image or whether they've got that kind of stuff in engine.

It's a straight up screenshot from the game, no photoshopping.

Does the game have motion blur? Bits of the island look rather blurry like the camera was moving around quickly

It's probably not a motion blur but depth of field effect, kinda like the one you get on macro photograph.

There's a little bit of farmland there on the island, I wonder if the game will change the terrain based on the level of industries in a province or if its all pre-set stuff. There's almost certainly a layer for railroads.

amusingly enough a lot of those ideas of medieval (and other) brutality are enlightenment myths that also persisted in some forms into the victorian era (and now...)

Yeah pretty much every "medieval torture museum" you can visit will have a lot of plaques like "there is no historical evidence that this was ever used". The iron maiden is a classic example of a thing that was basically just made up by someone as "wow wouldn't it be totally hosed up if someone did this to someone" and then through a game of telephone people started to believe that it was a thing people actually did to other people.

I secretly hope since Imperator Rome that general personality would affect their army behaviour. Like that dude might not be a great general but he's fine with attacking the enemy with human waves so that we finish the war by Christmas. And this front needs just to be maintained till we win on the others so here we put a cautious quartermaster.

This would absolutely own, and the apparent focus on generals in this dev diary is giving me hope this will be the case.

Well, gently caress.

I think this is a good methaphor of how hype I am about the new warfare. To be frank, I think that warfare is the weakest point of all of the existing PDX titles, which is particularly sad because of how much there is of it. I'm hoping they build a new, better model that can then form the basis for EU5, HoI5, and beyond.
