I initially praised this game to the heavens, but now the devs has appearently decided that the game should not be fun.

The devs introduced brand new mechanics such as disease and legitimacy. However, it is not clear how to work against dissease, and legitimacy.

I went from being good at the game, knowing my craft to loosing all development in all my provinces and constantly getting revolts against my rule.

There does not seem to be easy ways to improve legitimacy. You´d think that defeating uprisings would help, but no, not significantly. What about winning wars? No, not really. What about imprisoning bad guys? No, that doesn´t help either. But you loose ONE battle, and you´ll be back to where you started, at 0 legitimacy. Completely unable to stop revolts.

Because of this, once the first king dies your new king will be deposed no matter how well you think you have prepared. If not the first, then the second or third rebellion.

Who thought this was fun and balanced?
Seriously... is it fun to have your lands ravaged by disease every 25 years and your entire family killed off by thyfus? Eeverything you worked for gone, exept if you are a top 2 percentile player.

Its a huge annoyance and I refuse to set the game to easy mode, because thats not fun either.

Diseases could come and reduce the economic output for a few months, with a chance of 10% to infect you or your family.

In the case of black death, its okay that it kills half of my people, the game however should also take into account the good that came from the aftermath of the black death. Cleaner cities, richer peasants and new goverment structures. So reduce the risk of dissease ever happening again after the black death. Eventually the risk should be capped at 1-2 percent risk pr 10 years. I just cant be bothered with the way it is now.

Im really dissapointed as things stands. The game was great and new updates usually make a game better. But this time paradox managed to outright ruin the fun of the game. Hope they fix it, untill then i cannot recommend it. Its just a steep learning curve, difficult, annoying experience right now.
