So... Title...
Is there a reason behind the Mercenary companies and Holy Orders being so much weaker in CK2+?
They are quite good in vanilla, maybe more so than they should, admittedly, but mostly that is because of how the economy works in vanilla.
In CK2+ money is harder to come by and at least from my perspective it appears that Mercenaries and Holy Orders are completely useless.
Mercenary Companies are just too expensive for what they provide which is at the most 2000 troops.
Holy Orders are mostly negligible too because their numbers are too low, even when they have a lot of land.
Also, for player created Mercenary companies, right after creation they already cost around 900 to hire and between 30 and 40 monthly as maintenance cost even while they are very underwhelming, not sure why.
I understand that it has been like this for a very long time in CK2+, I just never thought about asking before so...
