I personally could not stand Rome 2 so I'll gladly play this one instead. While Rome 2 did improve in many areas, it also went back in several key areas that made the campaign quite boring and made me dislike the game.
Before the comments get flooded with salt, I'm just going to say that this Citizencon was amazing. Can't wait for Hurston, and the SQ42 roadmap (hopefully) in december.
