After finishing my second game, this time as Eqypt, I decided to check out the detailed game setup, and was surprised to find that Old World has a "no characters" option. It seems like it would basically remove half the content, and transform Old World into an entirely different game. There are no longer any leaders, no families, no roles to be assigned and so on. I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad thing, nor am saying it is good. I am curious though - does anybody here have any experience with this mode, and if so, what do you think about it? Does the game still work without the whole "Paradox-like" character system?
My guess without having tried it yet, is that it would leave the game a bit sparse. On the other hand, the "Civ" part of Old World is what I am really here for, and it seems to be mechanically very solid. The character system can certainly be fun, but I do get a bit of decision fatigue and information overload from it, at least as an inexperienced player.
