"AI" is irrelevant for determening balance in a game.

We have a too little statistical sample to determine if a country is good or bad yet, but from the set of ONE Mp game, Scotland is definitely not underpowered.

I dont think the "succesful" countries in the first major MP should be changed much.

Northwestern Europe saw alot of conflict in our game, but south and southeast lacked conflict.. Granada is basically just a super-portugal.

No comment on Scotland... and I suppose we can always help the AI out later if we need to.

Concerning Granada and Genoa -- yes, they're necks are on the chopping block. At least Archduke is letting me do the chopping. I've done some things to draw down these countries' advantages already and I'm thinking of tweaking Granada's explorers/conquistadors now as well.

Granada will still have great potential, but they shouldn't be easy anymore.

Anything specific about the Mameluks? Or are you including Fatimids and Egypt in there too?

I have to recheck their leaders and eventwise they are really, really strong.

I think it was a bad decision to take away all stat 6 leaders from Bavaria, sure cut out some of the other leaders, but give them some variety in leaders. Some great ones is a good thing, none great ones is a bad thing. They are afterall in the center of things anyway.

Take away some of the other top leaders and give them back 1-2 6 leaders. Or just give them one and leave it as it is

 

[TheArchduke]

Maybe one of them, if at all.

I have to recheck their leaders and eventwise they are really, really strong.

But they are neighboured and competing against Granada, Kaliphate, Genoa and Byzantines.. come on they need to be fkning strong.

Played till the 1700 with burgundy today and I noticed something about the cultures that they have a chance to gain. They start with French, then in 1560 you hand them (more or less) German. That, with the Milan inheritance event that could give them Italian, you might end up with a state with French, German, and Italian cultures. These are both gained with little or no side effects. Now I do admit that they don't have that great of a leader file (although I did like that guy with 4 siege), but did you really want a country with 3 of best cultures in the game. Just figured I'd ask.

Italian culture is an event b choice for an AI minor, no?

But yup, you got a point there.
