I’m beyond excited like I know everyone pretty much is as well, but I would like to bring up the map. I found in CK2 that they map was just too small in the aspect of immersion and number of counties and I’ll explain why. Once you get the hang of CK2 your able to navigate and conquer regions much easier so you basically start to take whole duchies or 3 counties at once sometimes. I’m ok with that, I’m suggesting the approach they went for with Imperator: Rome, but with even more depth. In Imperator if you’ve played it you understand what I mean, playing as Rome for instance you start off with I think 4 or 5 counties and there is just an extreme amount of territory within Italy to conquer and deal with other nations, I believe there’s 7 or 8 nations in the north of Italy and about the same in central Italy and the south as well. What I’m saying is in CK2 if you play as a duke or count in France or Spain for example, once you conquer or inherit a few counties or duchies in those nations you basically control whole sections of the country with relative speed, and at that point there’s only one other route to go and that’s to become king which is all fine if your able to prolong that and make it a more difficult thing to strive for as in having more counties or duchies to expand in without having complete control of southern France in 30 years because there’s only 15 counties.
I’m starting to ramble I apologize, my point of all this is simple. I would like the affect of the Imperator map, if you are zoomed out looking at the entire world map in Imperator it looks large, no doubt about that, but once you zoom in to Rome and Italy it actually feels like your in Italy because the region of Italy is so immense there must be
150 counties there alone and I might be understating it. It brings the possibility in CK3 of actually being totally focused in your region for large parts of the game because of so much area within your country that there would be so many other AI lords and characters to deal with and internal politics to deal with that it would be some time before (if you wanted to) to even have to meddle outside your country for some time. So bottom line is, I pray that CK3 has way more counties within each region of the map so gameplay within your nation has more depth and angles to expand without taking complete control as quickly. And I actually bring this up because of the experience I have playing in Italy in CK2, Italy is the prime example of what I’d like to see fixed in CK3, it just feels like a big island to me, it’s easy to conquer and take complete control quickly because of a lack of counties even as they’ve expanded it, it still is lacking because of how small they drew the land mass from the beginning. I mean the kingdoms of Sicily and Naples were some of the most powerful nations of Europe in the Middle Ages and it’s difficult to show that when you see your land that you control. I think there’s maybe 20 counties under the kingdom of Sicily, not much potential of extreme immersion within your own realm in my opinion. But anyway I tried to explain what I mean but it’s a bit difficult I apologize for the book that will be uploaded Lol
