Ramping Difficulty in TOB
The game ramps up steadily all the way through turn 100 . I found that with most TOB mods, I had to quit by turn 60 out of boredom because I was the most powerful faction with an income well over 20K/turn. I like to play on hard because the AI is fair and I can win half the battles.
Many new effects contribute to this ramping such as Fame, civil wars, war weariness and loyalty. Most importantly, the difficulties tables have been carefully worked with until multiple bonuses or penalties are applied to allow players of different skill levels or patience the experience they desire while still being historically authentic.
Note that I took the trouble and added a UI visible 8th Fame Level. This will allow one to avoid the penalties of level 8 as long as possible.

III) The two other major effects were greatly amplified to enable this powerful ramp (in addition to the aforementioned)
A: Increased Unhappiness The provinces are about 2.5X as unhappy. You could invest in expensive buidlings to counter this, lower taxes, etc. But the unhappiness will allow you to take stray regions that your friendly neighbor owns (when it revolts) and encourages old factions to reemerge. It can even be used to get rid of a far-flung conquest to an ally or to incite a rebellion through raiding in a province you wish to gradually take over.
B:Increased Corruption[/h2]. It is far too easy to amass wealth in TOB in an era when economies were rife with corruption. Yet corruption is often at 0 in towns of veteran governors in TOB.
This mod makes corruption endemic and impossible to escape as one's empire expands. There are a number of buildings and character bundles that still decrease corruption, but to less of an extent. With a large empire, you will find that vassals bring in more income than new provinces. This puts a strong check on steamrolling factions.

Thoughts on why TOB Vanilla and mods don't use unhappiness like Attila?
