Pathfinder: Kingmaker

They advertise the ‘living kingdom’ thing. How interesting is that mechanic? Or is it just window dressing?

Wondering about this too. It would seem to me to be the big, interesting mechanic in this game that would set it apart from the competition, but from what I hear, it seems this entire concept is very “late game”, which suggests to me that it won’t be particularly interesting. If something is a major feature of your game, you don’t hide it away until the end-game.
