I don't know if this was posted before, I have only looked through twenty pages so far and didn't see it.

AI England conquering Ireland, with his trustworthy ally Portugal backing him:

Probably happens at least 50% of the games I play, though Portugal rarely ends up keeping his new provinces...
 
I'm not that good at drawling, so don't troll on me for my bad drawling skills.

This is why you should never ally with France early in the game.......

Playing as Burgundy (Pink head), asks France (light blue head) if I can form an alliance. France says yes. Meanwhile, I send England (Red head) an insult. England soon declares war, and Portugal (green head) joins him. Then, France betrays me! I rage quited after that.

Or ally Bohemia or so, very useful as Burgundy.
 
Burgundy should remain in the HRE for its first war or two with France/England. Expand by gobbling up minors at first, cry for help when the big boys notice you, beat them with the help of the even bigger boy and then build up until you're biggest on the block.

I actually looked up the whole malus thing, since it bothered me and apparently, it's kinda-sorta starting to get used on its own about these days. Bonus/malus in that pairing have been around for some time, but malus on its own is rarely used the same way bonus is. However, it's apparently been in use as a word for quite a few decades now, so really you can't say it's completely incorrect.

Note that the links you provide say that malus is a business word, which it is. It just cannot be used in the same way as "penalty". And if it's not in the Oxford dictionary, it isn't a proper word. They have OMG and LOL in it, after all, so if they decide against "malus", then I concede.

Now, and that should be enough offtopic posting. Any further discussion can be made in the OT forum, or via Raaaage pics! :)
