Im playing eu5 and tainted grail fall of avalon which is basically if a Polish studio made an Elder Scrolls game in a grimdark setting with the trappings of Arthurian legends
I kinda like it because it doesn't have any of the level scaling bullshit from modern elder scrolls, so like, it feels rewarding to explore and figure out ways to beat enemies that are way higher level than me
Eu5 is pretty cool but I think the game is just really fucking broken right now. Like I'm Portugal, it's 1470, I'm making money hand over dick with Leon, Sevilla and Granada as vassals or fiefdoms, but the fucking Diplomatic Capacity shit doesn't make any fucking sense, it just keeps ballooning up for Sevilla and Granada, partially as a result of some fucking strength calculation, so Im wasting a shitload of money having to max out my diplomacy spending
the strength calculation is what I think is absolutely fucking shit broken, because I keep building up my fucking army and it never seems to decline, I have 7k professional soldiers which is more than fucking Granada has in levies and it's still giving me a negative malus on the strength comparison
So I GUESS it's all based on size, population and tax base or something and all my fucking military spending does nothing? I dunno. They're my only vassal, the other two are fiefdoms
