Amount of Enemy Cohorts

[Battlex]

To those of you who so staunchly believe taking information away from the player is a good thing - would you at least be ok with a toggleable option for cohort information and for the ledger? If you want to play with less information, go nuts. Personally, I prefer being able to make decisions instead of wildly guessing or trying to figure out all of the pops that Mauryas have integrated, followed by the number of said pops, followed by meager attempts to figure out how many are not slaves/tribesman, followed by slowly inputting that into a spreadsheet. That's just extra work which I did not have to do in the last patch.

Just another reason why achievements should be available with mods, so we can change the game how we want

I completely with you. Unfortunately, PDS will most likely never give up on the absurd fable that ironman achievements "mean something" and that removing the ironman requirement would "devalue" them.

Achievements are just a guide (imo), but I dont really see how being able to cheat the game would qualify it as an Achievement? It just renders it meaningless.

In this case, I have bad news for you: You can already cheat to get achievements. I can think of at least three methods that are easier, faster, and more impactful than mods or using the console.

But please, let's not have this discussion again. The topic has been talked to death already, and I don't think PDS will ever change their mind. Let's get back to cohort numbers (I certainly won't comment on this any further).

Conquering a city is easily done. Securing Antigonid position is super easy, just declare on Macedon yourself and use your heavy ships to destroy the Fort. Every player starts with Rome so will sack Carthage. If they're so easily got, why not let players use the community hot fix mod. Especially when we've seen achievements be so buggy with IR and Ck3
EDIT: lol just I went to post the page updated with your post

That's fair, I guess if you come from the position that they're already meaningless (because they can't follow through on the exclusivity that they want), then I don't really get why we should discuss them at all. I guess I just find the argument to "let me get something that holds no value the way I want to" seems a bit weird to me.
