Indeed. We're starting to get a bit off-topic here.


I'm quite curious as to how provincial control will work. With provinces now containing multiple cities, it could add an interesting dynamic to the military and diplomatic side of the game. Will you have to hold the province's capital city in order to claim the territory overall? Or can you control the other cities in a province and surround the capital, and then negotiate with the faction that originally owned the province?

Also, I almost overlooked this bit:
The AI has been redeveloped from scratch. According to the developers it re-evaluates the situation at the beginning of a battle every time, even if the starting conditions of a battle are exactly the same, and will thus act differently every time.
Brilliant.
