I have a ton of hours in Paradox games, and it took me a minute to get into this. Now after a few hundred hours, I'd call this my favourite. I love Roman history and this game, when modded out is an absolute banger. Beautiful map, not too dense system wise. A big thanks to the modding community for holding this game down.7 found this helpful
Really enjoy the game. Great gameplay, great combat, and the grand strategy side of it is excellent. The only downside for me is the constant pointless story/event pop-ups. I’m trying to run an empire and work on the grand strategy, and every five minutes some random bloke has had a fight with some other random bloke and I have to pick a side. One loses loyalty, the other gains it. That wouldn’t be so bad every now and then... but it is CONSTANT. Honestly, I wish I could just mod that entire part of the game out and focus on actually running the empire. Other than that, great game and I’m really enjoying it.3 found this helpful
it's to the point with pdx games that you're almost glad a game died because it means it will be a) affordable due to the publisher losing interest in pushing dlc for it and b) playable, because said lack of dlc means the game has a stable ecosystem for mods that isn't disrupted constantly due to usually half-baked content that takes years to iron out fixes for, if ever1 found this helpful
its a solid grand strategy experience from paradox. it isnt perfect but what game is. it is absolutely better than the reception its received in my opinion a hidden gem thats worth the price of admission i would recommend to everybody that enjoys grand strategy and ancient rome1 found this helpful
