Are buddhist mechanics going to be changed/rebalanced in 1.14

Yes.

I actually just finished a Siam (aytuhaya) game recently. the trick is releasing and feeding vassals (returning cores to vassals gives a lot of karma, so does releasing small states that are very easy to vassalize). I got the white elephant achievement for owning and coring all of Indochina fairly quickly and i wasnt below -10 karma even once

I agree that the mechanic needs a bit more work as it seemed like little more than an additional strategic obstacle imo.

I also did White Elephant recently. Having played about with Buddhism a bit before, my first priority was to convert to Hinduism. I think that made the playthrough much more enjoyable.

Did such a run as well but I had to stay buddhist because I also wanted the land of eastern jade achievement. Buddhism combined with an expansionist Ming which wont implode led to a frustrating game.

I was going to do Jade too but by that point switching back to Buddhism was a pain because I'd already converted nearly every Buddhist province
