Based on a few negative ratings, we have a rather bad score on Metacritic that doesn't seem to reflect the general opinion of the game. If you like Sengoku, please show your support by registering your rating here:

Considering it was 3.3 when I posted this, you guys have done a good job :)
 
Rome had potential and there were even developers within the team that would have loved to work further on that idea, but they just left it hang there. They seem to be on an automated pilot, especially with this one.

The problem was very simple: people weren't buying Rome. If they had you would have seen a number of expansions by now.

Hack, I think Magna Mundi even will be more of a radically different experience to Europa Universalis then Sengoku is to Europa Universalis.
And that's partly because I believe MM will be much more love-crafted then Sengoku was, or most games in the paradox interactive arsenal.
So yea, I don't expect the world from PI, but I think they could and should explore new avenues of presenting the Grand Strategy genre and put more heart into there games and not go on what has worked before alone...

MM is a very different project. It's a fan project which means that A) they are more developers on it than our three production teams combined, and B) they have been working on for a couple of years. If we did the same as a company we would have to charge you 100-150 euro for the game just to break even...
