So maybe you guys have played a few games in 1.8/$20addon, i dunno, but maybe you guys have noticed a few things, too.
Like how tiny countries are screwed more than ever by the new rebel mechanics. What i mean by this, is that it is now much, much more difficult to expand as a tiny country. Its not even like a fun kind of difficult, just the kind that really makes the game tedious and railroad-esque. Anytime you take a province from someone now, you are guaranteed all kinds of rebels to spawn unless you keep spending mil points. This by itself is fine, however, when you as a small country are trying to expand and need to keep spending mil points, because if you dont, stacks of rebels as big as your entire force limit will spawn in multiple provinces, even from 1 base tax provinces, it becomes ridiculous and not fun at all.
So please explain to me how one is supposed to have fun as a small country when i cant expand easily, or without making a bunch of vassals, which wont even help fight rebels 2/3 times. And if they do, they only start heading for the stack after you have already engaged it.
HAVING VASSALS SUCKS. they almost NEVER do what you want them to, even with the "new commands and jizzle* that i just paid 20$$ for. It doesnt matter if i can give objectives to my vassals/marches if they dont give a flying fart about what i have to say, even with +200 relations!
My vassal stacks are commiting suicide (like half the size and not even full moral kind of suicide) more than ever before, and I am expected to rely on them more than ever before, because if i take anything for myself im gonna end up with 3-4 stacks of rebels ON TOP of the ones already spawning in my country on a regular basis, even with 3 stab and no war exhaust, full prestige/legitamacy, whatever!
Little countries, just dont have the manpower to deal with these rebel stacks! and whats more, if i have to spend all my nucking military points on harsh treatment, my mil tech because reallly fartty, really fast. i had a 14 stack with manpower to spare and i couldnt even beat a 7 stack from 3 province Brandenburg around 1500 that had been getting pistol whipped by pommerania the entire game. To be fair though, if my vassals could have actually figured out how to get military access and help me fight anyone that isnt directly on my border, maybe i actually would have been able to win that battle.....
