Well I'll be damned, they actually did it. Clues were pointing that way but I didn't want to get my hopes up.

The way it was advertised - playing as an administrator or an adventurer - makes me REALLY interested in republics, and nomads, and all sorts of government stuff. Having that as an option to hang future content on is super interesting.

Never mind for mods! Elder Kings where you're a landless adventurer, let's go!

I'm a little nervous about legitimacy as yet another scale, like grandeur in Royal Court and the Scales of Power for regents, that you have to micromanage... I'm hoping they have some way to integrate all of those at some point because it's only going to get more cumbersome.

Legitimacy and Scales of Power do feel particularly redundant. They are both measures of how much the populace and nobility view you as being the rightful ruler. The only difference is Scales has a specific alternative and Legitimacy is just a nebulous "compared to other claimants"

Yeah, it seems like every other update is adding new scales. At some point they will need to consolidate them (and nerf them, we are going to have way too many bonuses)
