Ok i liked playing Spain. Very much.
Making global empire. No prob. testing so many different strats on it is fun.
Then comes Cradle of Civ expansion and all u know u can throw away.
Simple shanges in gameplay are started to be gamebreaking which is pretty much unexpected from Paradox (something liek this u can expect from shit companies like Wargaming... yes u know what i mean..).
Here is what is seriously changed to bad now - u are getting Aragon under union pretty much easy now in first few yrs of gameplay while Burgundy is almost impossible to integrate.
Battles now work pretty much odd way. Battles u should win by far u lose horribly from no reason - example : u ambush enemy army on mountains with better commander in all stats, u have almost twice the enemy army size and mid batle u start to suffer so heavy casualties its joke. Or u fight with ally army and are easy winning battle but suddenly ally decides to drop off battle and retreat !!
Not to mention battles where ally army wont move to help u and is literally sitting next province to battle.
England is now easy to go get into unification under Protugal as Lancasters die often without heirs.
England gets in war with France and does not move armies at all to continent. Or it does after all allies are defeated and all land on continent is lost. Why armies sit in north doing nothing and fleet sitting in sea next to them doing also nothing is one biiiig question.
There is bunch of similar behaviours from other big or small nations its becoming panfully stupid and gamebreaking.
Siege is not working fine also. U can win siege easy or siege for ages with no apparent reason ( have good siege leader high morale and military tech loads of cannons and siege for ages while army with no cannons and leader gets siege easy done in far less time on other castle same lvl same nation same province type.
Taking gold as peace option in large amounts is way to easy now.\
Making alliances on hard dif is painfull most of time. Breaking them is easy so much from ai.
Complete mess.
Adjusting gameplay is one thing but so many things do not trigger from unknown reason and some trigger when they should not.
List can be longer but these are only first impressions.
