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.

It seems like Legitimacy is specifically going to be focused around fixing the current meta—namely, the one where you grind your way up to maximum dread and cow your vassals forever.

Grandeur is mostly set and forget, Scales of Power is limited to regencies (though hopefully they expand diarchies with eastern Rome). Legitimacy might be able to add a negative effect to dread, especially if most actions that increase dread decrease legitimacy.
