i confirmed it on my gaming website strategyinformer

well i hope this game will be more moder friendly and give more options better ai (both combat and strategy ai ) i hope it allows for the creation of subfactions inside a single faction (pretty usefull for the eleutheroi like give the hability for a region to retain 80% of the cash it makes to develop it´s infrastructure and military so regions with more power get to be more powerfull isntead of having it all dissipated by the poor eleitheroi regions wich where never important enough)

i hope for a true political module where how your society is organised reflects on how much manpower and it´s quality is available to you (like you play a germanic faction your faction leader becomes too powerfull and threatons to become a king and he gets strangled )

i also hope it allows for the limitation of recruitment slots so that only the greatest generals can have more then 8 regiments on it´s armies (a bad general could only recruit/maintain 4 regiments on his stack) that can give a great rpg strategy aspect to the game that forçes you to develop your generals generalship instead of keeping him safelly tucked away (ofc this wouldn´t work in a city where you could keep a full stack but once your out depending on the general you had a limited stack )

the eye candy is nice and all that but it´s the same as getting lucky and picking the cutest girl in the party only to discover the next day that she doesn´t have matching eye colour becaue she lost her green eye contact lense and all of a suden her beautifull face is right there on your pillow because her face was actually makeup and her hairdress is all messed up and she as crappy oiled skin and is actually ugly as hell bellow the makeup (and yes i´m well aware i didn´t mention the silicone all over her body from her lips down to her ass and tights )
