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.

Good Economy teacher

Absolutely Phenomenal

It is fun and goood and fun and hard and good and fun and challenging and good and fun and hard and BYE

They ruined it, because of their great ego´s and their greed for money. Now the game is a buy to win experience, and you´d better be preppared to give 45 eurs to have a chance at pvp, where everyone will have the same ships. The devs are crazy.

Great. Even greater if you have warhammer 1 too. As the worlds can be mixed into one on the mortal empires map.

Absolutely breathtaking!

The soundtrack is magical.
The combat is genius.
The story is a masterpiece.
The narration and voice-over is perfect.

You can write your own story by solving any challenge in a different way. They have made multiple endings and multiple paths to those ends for our sake. It makes this game allmost as replayable as skyrim, but only slightly less because of its somewhat repetitative encounters every time you replay the game.

great fun and great challenges.

I love this game. Even after 650 hours i am still learning how to get better at it.

This game is an easy to learn, but hard to master game. Which ensures that you´ll never loose interrest. But to stretch it beyond the 40 hours mark i'd strongly recommend playing multiplayer with friends in private games.

Great game. I wish they would make a 4th installment soon tho.

The game has 2000-3000 people online at most. A lot of the servers are private, some other servers just have crazy dumb rules, and or idiotic admins. I´d say that only 1/4 servers with more than 20 people on them are "playable"/usable.

The game is slowly dying too.
