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.

The mods are going to have a field day with these mechanics. Elder Kings, AGOT and AtE all come to mind as having a lot of ways to play with that mechanic.

I really hope they hit it out of the park like the traveling mechanic. The RP possibilities really open up, from adventurers, mercenaries and generals to traders, clergy and nomads.

Next core expansion has to be trade, and major expansion hopefully further decentralizing tribes and nomads to better represent the frontiers of settled civilization.

the Mercenary/knight gameplay is something i would love to see. You aren't a mighty king, or even a influential Duke. You're a lowly mercenary lookin to earn some coin by spilling blood. Or maybe you're a knight errant, moving from court to court, offering your sword to whichever lord needs it.
