Just watched the 'Faces of Rome' live action trailer...very much 'Rome' orientated, and with talk of a renewed focus on behind the scenes action, I hope that CA have taken a look at Crusader Kings II and taken a similar approach.
I guess I'll need to reinstall Rome at some point, I did have some fun with the Europa Barbarorum mod, although coming up from Medieval I (which I loved) I still struggle with the new strategic map and movement on it.
