Me and my friend have brain stormed again to think about things we could add to this game we want to love and DO LOVE but are eagerly awaiting for the game to be more robust. Theres a lot missing when you're waiting for wars or to have enough money to build more. We came up with this tiny list that we thought would be a good filling to the pie.
.More Vanity projects like custom palaces. Naming and adding prebuilt custom designs to certain aspects. This is the era of Versailles and opulent palaces to reinforce the splendor of the ruler.
.Art and slice of life. The art feature is reeeealllly cool but I feel like the game could expand on this a little and really immerse us into the media being consumed by our citizens and nobility. Better yet just a slow but huge expansion on interacting with the aspects of peoples lives like art, music, philosophers who change the values of the country until their deaths and possibly reactionaries who seek to reverse those radical changes.
.Independent internal actors. This could be things like the philosophers I brought up like John Locke, Voltaire, and randomly generated ones or early companies that can act independently of our kingdoms in their own interests at home or abroad. A loyalty system to generals like there was in Imperator to add a new layer to our generals in peace time because what happens in peace time should have a major impact on war time.
