If you can't be bothered (seriously though, go look) here's a break down of what the screens show us.

*The ability to heal the Great Schism
*restoring the Roman Empire to it's full glory
*Chariot races and the ability to hold and gamble on games! Oh my.
*Special events when provinces are fully reconquered by the Romans
*Blinding/castrating your prisoners (dear god, the Tyrant in me LOVES THIS)

and perhaps best of all.

*Completely reworked levy system with MUCH more information upfront for the player to see
*The ability to create and grow a new type of levy (ruler retinues) on command to bolster your armed forces.

I have a feeling $10 will magically fly out of my wallet when this mini-expansion comes out. I won't be able to stop it.
I am excited too. ^^
And actually it's only $5.99 for this one. I guess the extra $4 can fly somewhere else... :D Maybe the new portraits DLC?



Started a new game as a count in Flanders. Incredible what someone with decent intrigue can do through plot. In the space of months, I fabricated claim on my liege's duchy, then revoked my former liege's counties, revoked the poor count who helped me before, made Duke of Aquitane gave up two duchies, lowered France's ruling(?) authority... It all seemed a bit too easy, requirements too low and I don't understand why Duke of Aquitane gave up without a fight. Still, I am not complaining, it was totally absorbing and enthralling.
