Ugh

I liked ck2's model of war, battles were important to win, and you didn't have to occupy the whole place, which is much more realistic, Rome didn't go full occupying countries IRL to be conquered.

why would you make them up?
we have plenty of sources on them

UGH... MAGNA ETRURIA... WHAT COULDVE BEEN

factually untrue

I do like that you can take what you occupy in Imperator desu.

>They should have made a trade and pop system like that of victoria 2
I think that just having 4 pops is good enough, but I do agree that like in Victoria they should have needs and things they consume (Slaves just need grain, but the further up you go the more varied their needs get, with citizens also needing things like olive oil and wine). This would also create a trade system that actually matters.

>This and many bonuses you get with tech and laws don't make sense
Yeah, my biggest gripe is especially with how the benefits pops give you work. Slaves and tribesmen are the only ones paying taxes? Freedmen are the only ones joining the army? Only citizens work in commerce? If I could reform it:
>Remove commerce. You instead have production, which influences how much of its assigned resource a region produces
>Slaves have the highest production, citizens the lowest
>Conversely slaves have the lowest tax (zero) while citizens the highest
>This can be tweeked with laws
>What pops provide manpower is also tweeked by laws (something like Athens would have "citizens serve" as a law providing manpower from citizens, while Rome would have something like "service guarantees citizenship" which provides a large amount of manpower from freedmen, a small amount of manpower from citizens and slowly promotes freedmen into citizens).

This would actually make it feel like you're a ruler organically changing the country over the course of years through laws and policies, rather than an Olympian deity changing affairs according to his power with the snap of his fingers. If you're going for that Olympian Deity gameplay, at the very least go all out and allow us to use Cyclopses and Centaurs like in Age of Mythology or something.

seething

>play map paint simulator
>extend all the way into India
>fantasise about a total removal of Slava and Anglophones

I can directly relate half of those tribes to either a modern word still used today or a place/kingdom that existed in the middle ages.
