Is this an exploit?

Well, I can say that in my Romani campaign I've suffered my fair amount of sallies at the hands of the Aedui...


Cheers...

I personally..think it is an exploit, defeating the initial purpose of the EB inceptors.

That being said..I dont like this trait personally, I been playing it as is...but it annoys me...I think its one of these things that make the game less of a game and more of a simulator, the lack of realism in some games is there precisselly because they are suposed to be games.

Fortunently, It only happens few times to me as it matches most of my gameplay style to begin with, I expand very slowly usually one province at a time, one war at a time, one battle at a time.

I like this trait, it does add some strategic depth (OK, and fort abuse) but since I'm a team traiter/bum that's to be expected ;)

While you may argue that certain realistic things may make a game less fun, that is only an opinion and not a universal truth. There is nothing that says games can't be both realistic and fun, because if that was true, games like Operation Flashpoint, Red Octobre or various flight sims wouldn't exist; or at least they wouldn't be played and loved in the extent that they are. It's simply not true.
