So much to be said

[ERISS]

I'll wait for the release of next announced patch (1.04) to talk about the bugs, 'iguanas' and "how to",
so it's here general feeelings at now.

. First, this is a game I dreamed about (doing it): I always thought wargames had to have more scales of victories:
tactical, strategical, political,
and historical, and here "in the end, it is legacy that wins the game".
(Yes I know, it was already like in past Ageod game)

. At last (last patch? me?) I feel like I "entered" the game (more than the previous Ageod game), and finally plays it many hours, despite all I could say here and following posts.

. "As a general point, Authority exists to be used. Once you are avoiding negative tokens, there is no particular reason not to spend it. "
Lol, sure "once": as I often play not caring about authority, so the game is harsh though for a very long time,
the "once" comes in the end of the game: actually I play "legacy first!"
Authority, I don't care about you, you come at me naturally when (people think) I deserve it.

. "Knightly Orders are not currently playable"
And let it be! I love when some factions play by itself like it was made sentient. My pc has the right to host her AIs friends too lol

. Like Vassals!: what the point?
"Having many vassals allows you to expand your own Demesne
and makes it easier to reach the thresholds needed to progress to a new government level"
Generally in games vassals are not well made, but here it is very welcome, it is a pleasure having some (those "sentients") or even to play one! (being mastered, following politics of the liege)

Thanks for the praise Eriss, it means a lot when old AGEOD grognards judge favorably the latest game made in 2024!

Indeed for many things, I have been trying to make features like vassals provide a unique advantage, not just a quantitative addition, so they are unique in that they reduce your required demesne size to evolve.
