Defensive ideas help whether you are in a defensive war or not.
Oh, not really something I can make use of, since either I have internet or I don't, rather than having shaky internet.
If that's the case, though, there should be no reason for the restriction in the first place. Just allow ironman (and achievements) even if you launch offline. Only require connection for cloud saves.
I think adding revanchism is an excellent idea, but it seems a bit odd that the Devs would be so irritated at people poking fun at the monarch points. In all fairness the system is an odd abstraction, even if it is necessary.

People have the same issues over and over again, and they're often wrong. If I had a dime for every time I've heard someone complain about how monarch points are completely determined by random chance that the player has no influence over, I'd be a rich man. The thing is it isn't. It's not even half random chance, and it's something the player can influence.

All of that's true, though when you read actual history about the endless difficulty, misfortune and disloyalty that plagued the various states at the time I think people lose track of how much easier things are made for the sake of this being a game rather than simulation. Real monarchs generally didn't know what they had, where it was, who to trust, who to hire and how to effectively influence the world, and that's something I think should get more attention.
As long as you keep the game open you can keep playing so all you have to do is not close the game and hibernate instead of shut down computer and you can go days, weeks or even months since last time you had internet connection and still play ironman. Minimized the game doesn't consume much beyond memory.
And the reason is so it can confirm the checksum, could see them making it so that you can run ironman without achievements offline though considering the other changes devs intend to do.
I hope this hasn't been asked yet, but have you thought about having curating Workshop items that are well-balanced and won't disable achievements? Other games do this so the infrastructure is already in Steam.
My gut reaction is to expect most upstream-publisher curation schemes for workshop items to be "we think this is interesting and good and not likely to crash your game", rather than the much more stringent "we think this is balanced in a way that will not reduce the difficulty of achievements".
Revanchism +++++++
It seems like a good idea and realistic also! (Take germany for example, after world war 1).

Well, the people that wanted Turkey have been listened I guess.
What is the new principal culture for the Ottomans?. Really, the only culture that I can think for the Ottomans is "Ottoman culture".

I don't understand what you're talking about. Turkish is the principal culture of the Ottomans, of course. The dynasty was of Turkish descent and started out as vassals of a definitely Turkish dynasty. By 1400, Anatolia was mostly Turkish.Well, the people that wanted Turkey have been listened I guess.

EDIT: Nevermind, now I see what he was talking about.

it looks like the convert culture button is selectable which would imply that Turkish is not the primary culture of Ottomans now?
Paris was bigger and more developped than Ragusa or Riga, yes. But so were Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux, Dijon, Calais, Dunkerque, Nîmes, and a whole lot of other french towns.
Historical-accuracy-wise, this change still doesn't solve the problem introduced by province developpement. It should be tied to money, with a flat monarch points cost (10? 25?).
Small nations can rack up money. Big nations are still limited in the amount of MP they can use.
Edit : and, I know, the whole idea of doing this to allow small nations to grow. The sad truce is, at a time where pretty much everything depended on a central authority, bigger nations had more means to fund their developpement.

I know, but the game have had crash and freezing issues lately, so I have to restart the game often.
As long as a game is active it's fine. If you leave the game or restart you can no longer play ironman without internet.
Ah I see, never had many problems with that. Only about one per hundred hours played.
