I would rather betray others than have the others betray me.15 found this helpful
It's great outside of the fact that it kinda forces you to play wide and pick specific techs to fight corruption or even be able to exist after certain point, but the management of family and administration is still better than the Rome 2 bs (slightly) Combat is great... if the units don't just wait on the side and flank or change rows unpromptet between turns (I didn't spend too much time figuring it out tho). Balance is alright, but early game could use some more variety Economy is solid once you figure out the markets and production properly, but it could be better if it wasn't just about building one of each economy building and there were some ratios and actual values involved to spread it around or influence neighbouring markets (where having high culture would matter) instead of guesswork or looking at what others figured out. I feel like it gets 100 times better in multiplayer and some roleplay, but it's just a guess for now1 found this helpful
