You are incredibly rude, that really is not necessary. I know this is the internet, but there is never reason to disrespect people.

The reason I am saying it is not my kind of game is because of the fact that it even though it is possible to do the conquests there are design decisions there making it not fun. I enjoy conquests being fun. If the philosophy of the games I like to play are "Grow big and smash. Get bigger and smash harder." then it is not the same as "Grow big and smash. Get bigger and become unstable, but continue smashing if you enjoy frustration". That is what I am taking away from peoples comments. Am I truly wrong in reading it that way?
I have read the answers and listened, but you completely fail to see what I enjoy. It is my fault for not explaining correctly, I am sorry.
They made conquest more fun by making it a more challenge for players in late-games, in my opinion. And majority of players agree that, your style is what made EU4 so boring and bland in late games. So I am glad the developers are playing around with tall empires vs wide. If "Grow big and smash. Get bigger and smash harder" was the case, then there is no point of unlimited time limit to finish the game, because you'd be over-powered as hell by the late game. Look, they made good point like how they don't want the players to feel like they've already won and there's no point in playing any further. I am really glad they pointed that out, because that was one of the core things that made "Grow big and smash. Get bigger and smash harder" concept so boring and yesterday.

if you really have a problem with the demesne size limit before you must assign sectors. Great News! it's a paradox game so you open up the game files, find the text correlating to said demesne limit and edit that number to whatever you please. Boom, paradox moddability for the win.
