    I wasn't too fond of EU3 myself. I got a playable demo with one of my PC Gamer magazines and it felt very much like a "been there, done that" sort of thing.

    The risk-ish type games just don't appeal to me anymore. I guess I've evolved as a gamer.

    Sounds well. I like EUII (my favorite game) more than EUIII, and CK was never my favorite.

    CK was all over the place. After a brief 50 years the map looks like it's been mutilated by an angry child.

    Here's hoping they'll make it more like the EU series than CK. I like characters as much as the next guy but I don't like checking on my entire court + vassals every frickin' game year. Besides, what's a Roman Patrician when compared to Medieval Barons?

    I seem to be in a bit of a minority, but I think it sounds nice. Although I'll be playing with the Hellenistic kingdomes, I can easily see the character system coming into its use there.
