Good game, needs some patching to fix bugs and re-balance values.

Note to the Devs - When you have a revolt and your revolt wins (to keep or preserve and old law or status quo) it gives you a game over. This doesn't make sense and kind of kills the vibe.

Military in the game is kind of clunky. Not only is there the issue posted above, but it just doesn't feel good. When someone has +90 to win with twice as many troops at twice the value per unit it feels bad to 22(them) vs 3(you) and to lose each individual battle. Moving troops is needlessly difficult. Military access not existing means you can only fight on your (and your vassal's) neighbors and those with ocean borders. I have had a number of enemies attack me only to not be able to move their troops meaning we've bot sat in a war doing nothing for 30 minutes. We then white-peaced without a battle each time.

Flavor between governments is also heavily lacking. Most nations (and nation types) feel the same. While there are some tangible differences, most nations feels the same.

Overall the game is good and I think it is a worthwhile pickup. Some work needs to be done, but I look forward to the coming patches and DLC.
