Lots of people are very hostile at Imperator Rome but honestly the game is pretty fun. People are mad it's not "as good" as other paradox titles but they aren't taking into account the other games have years of ongoing development + DLCs on top of the original base game. Every game since EU4 I've bought on release day (not counting HOI games) and this is by far the best experience I've had in a version 1.0.0 paradox game
It's a new bookmark and free update starting in 936 (first 10th century start) and the starting map has been revealed. Surprisingly and shockingly balanced!
Not having the Abbasid's so dominant is fantastic and the century was a fascinating one for the Kievan Rus' as well.
If you actually play CK2, my opinion of you has gone up significantly. It really is the best Paradox game.
