There should be a difference between +10 authority and +1 authority. Positive Imperial authority could do with a bit more nuance. The fealty mechanic is nice, but I feel it needs tweaking. They really add something without relegating everything else to abject uselesness. Once upon a time, one had to deal with one raiding army after another. In three different campaigns (Karl Frantz, Gelt and co-op Frantz) I have yet to see a single serious attempt at raiding from Norsca anywhere near Altdorf. On the plus side, Bretonnia starts raiding Norsca. Really? In my experience, Bretonnia takes over Marienburg and explodes so fast you can forget about anything north of the river. If they are not your immediate target upon unifying Reikland they grow too powerful and will make your life hell.Īlso, sometimes counts try to secede randomly even with high fealty - which is annoying.

It's fun, but you basically HAVE to kill Marienberg.

Order factions are quite strong now, so you end up with not much challenge at all, even on harder difficulties.Īll in all, i love the empire rework, just need a few tweaks to be top notch 👍 But after some confederations, it becomes either a grind for IA or you tank your economy/growth until an event pops up, which can take a while. At the early game its fine because as soon as most provinces get to 10 fealty, you can just delay 20 turns and accumulate IA fast. Since confederating requires 3 IA, unless you want to tank growth or public order, or even lose tax rates that support your armies, you need to store at least 4 before doing so. Events that award Imperial Authority need to pop more often. After confederating most provinces, prestige becomes useless. A little bit of management goes a long way and, imo, makes me feel like I am truly being an Emperor.Īlthough i must say, i do have some criticism as well: If they go at war with each other, dont get involved and keep working for the good of the empire and soon you will have enough fealty to not worry about civil war at all. Make deals with them and fight their enemies and you wont even need to spend prestige to improve relations, which is very important early game if any provinces declare independence. Starting with Franz, it feels like you really have just started your rule and you must convince the other provinces that you are worthy of being emperor. I think it adds an interesting mechanic to the game, not really deep, but interesting. Well, imo playing the empire now is a far better experience.
