Ministers and Government

I think you've played a tad too much EB Meth, do you remember the vanilla trait system in Rome? At least M2TW's is better imo, but both are pretty meh.

I want to get to know and appreciate my generals and ministers through their traits, which made MTW2 all the more frustrating since my guv's seemed to turn out terrible no matter what I did.

Pfffft! I know I shouldn't expect a lot, but CA should at least put in a good effort. If they have to, delay the game until Spring! For my part, I've been playing a lot of M2TW this last while, and I still stand by what I said: roleplaying your characters increase the game's fun factor a thousandfold, and traits help in this matter. It's a shame that they are not too well-made at times.

Agreed.

ROFLOL! They already have in a sense!

As I recall the spring equinox is around March 21st…..Did you want the game released April 1

?

On a more serious note.

One delay is okay but two usually means the game has serious troubles…people loose interest and have serious doubts…it may only be perception but it is much better if they don’t delay again!

Heh heh, I meant May. As long as it's out by summer, I really don't care. Let's just hope the "infamous thing" is actually playable.

I agree with Fisherking. One delay looks like prudence, no one wants an unfinished game. Another delay begins to look like something is wrong. If CA need to delay the game again I will certainly start to think that they have bitten off more than they can chew and tried to be too ambitious.

I would rather the game be released in a timely fashion with one or two bugs. After all we have a huge number of extremely talented bug fixers and balances right here on the Org. If it needs a new coat of paint and a few holes patched up then they are definitely skilled enough to do it.

Crocked Politicians?

It isn’t like we will be dealing with the likes of Walpole or any of his ilk is it?

Or any diplomatic service and ministers noted for corruption in the period, like say France?

What was I thinking when I worried about negative traits of these people robbing my treasury and bleeding me white for anyway?

Surly we will all be rich and happy with wonderful armies who only go on parade but never campaign and the gold of trade will just fill all the coffers to the brim.

Would anyone like to buy a wonderful property in southern Louisiana! It has some wonderful wild life you know, and only a short trip from town….
