three main problems:
- everyone is named "Gaius Julius Ususus" and has the same portrait, so it's impossible to tell anybody apart, making the constant popups about court intrigue incomprehensible
- speed 5 runs so fast the game's unplayable but speed 4 is painfully slow
- the way barbarians spawn means you can get sacked in the first decade by a huge landless army twice your size and can't do shit about it, like ck2 adventurers on steroids

other than that it's still real rough and the mechanics &c. have basically zero documentation online. would not recommend
