Nobody mourns a politician's demise...
On thing I find irritating in CoE3 from an RPGer viewpoint is that at the start of the game I name my commander. And yet, when that commander dies I have not necessarily lost the game. If I name my Senator then I feel rather obligated to protect my Senator even though its rather a worthless piece.

Ive mentioned that I think we should be naming our empires instead of that first expendable leader.
