Except that Saxony's duke was simply elected by the Sejm, he did not conquer the PLC and, due to differing mechanics for the lack of a better word, both sides were essentially equal - Saxony, due to being an Imperial vassal and elector, could not be treated as lesser to the PLC and the PLC was too big to be treated as the lesser to Saxony. But I suspect that in game terms it is PLC with a PU over Saxony, not the other way around due to LD considerations and such.
Well, I understand the change differently.
Awesome. Best change for me is definitely the 80 trust critical point. I was wondering if maybe a "Historical Friend" modifier could be developed after a long period of high trust, but non-rivalry over 80 trust is a good solution. Building comfy alliances is a good feeling. It's always a shame when your ally flips from 100 to 0 real quick. The desired province map mode already helped mitigate that, though this should be even more of a good thing.
Just the new diplomatic system was worth the Cossacks purchase, because the relationships are so dynamic now. I see an amazing new world every game. It feels like someone is watching me play the game and hand-tailoring my experience. These diplomatic changes are great at delivering the feeling of power to control the development of a new world.
Maybe unrelated, but I especially like the new alliances of opportunity/necessity between different religious groups that were previously unheard of -- when do I get to set up a royal marriage between an Orthodox and Ibadi country with Humanist ideas?
Except it wasn't really a problem previously; I really don't see how you could get an unexpected influence spike unless you did something braindead. And I don't think it wasn't a sound mechanic in 1.14, but obviously we disagree on that.

That's already in the game...
custom_name = {
desc = estate_brahmins
trigger = {
religion = hinduism
}
}
It's just occurred to me, but shouldn't Nobility, Cossacks and Tribes prevent the effects of autonomy applying to land forcelimit, with Burghers having the same effect on naval forcelimit? There's already a big incentive to give Important Centres of Trade to the Burghers faction, but it seems like that will mean the CoT naval forcelimit bonus is kind of going to waste.
