First of all, I'd like to pay my regards to anyone who helps developping the game or who co-opporates on it, because it looks stunning so far. I very much appreciate the implantion of such high level of detail, though we all now nothing can be perfect, you sure do your best. I also very much appreciate the diplomacy, which will become a very important issue, and hopefully a very effective one too, because that is something where other games sometimes disappoint.
Bearing in mind the level of detail, my first question comes to mind: since you've set the location of this game to medieval Europe, I wonder myself how historical the game will be? One thing is for sure, the natural environment will be correct (in the best way possible), and that counts for the units and buildings too (bearing in mind the limitation of a PC-game offcourse). But I'm aiming my question at kings and realms. I've understood you will create the realms as historical correct as possible. But will their kings be it too? Will kings have historical correct behaviors? For example: if a king was determined for war, will the AI-king in the game be it too?
Yet another thing comes to my mind. I've read about the diplomatic feature to marry your dauhgter to an other king. I now hope you don't have as many daughters as you would want, because that would be ridiculous, won't it? So, if you have a limited number of daughters, how many would that be? Is that randomized? And offcourse, if you would have dauhters, you'd also have sons, no? What about them? In medieval times they often inherited their fathers Kingdom/realm. Sometimes even Kingdoms were divided over the King's sons. This topic relates my to another issue. Time. It's very obvious time passes. Well, since you take place as a king in the game, and time passes, that king someday dies... (or he could die in warfare too offcourse). What happens if he dies? Do his sons take over his realm, and do you continue play, now in the name of the son?
And offcourse, if times passes, when will the game end? What will be the last playable year? I've allready read that gunpowder will be excluded from the game, so, where does it stop?
And last but not least... I've never read something about technology and inventions. Thinking about power, mankind always sought out new inventions of better technologies to beat his oppenent. Will this play some part too in the game?
I hope I've posed some new and refreshing questions. I've no where read the awnsers to these questions so far. But, if the aswers to my question have allready been given on this forum, I'd be equally pleased if you'd refer me to them.
Sincerely, Luca
