Paradox mathematics is awful

@Camtheman: That doesn't mean that they are 27.3% stronger, but that the difference in power gives +27.3% to their liberty desire. They get a bonus to their liberty desire well before they are equally strong from what I saw so far.

Yep. People crying out loudly on how the game is bugged because it does not adhere to their random leaps of logic is always fun though.

Which difference in power?

The mathematical truth all of my vassals have fewer men than I do alone?

It's clearly not the math that's flawed but the logic behind it. I should've known.



No, it's the fact it's not obvious why they think they're 27.3% stronger than me when every other measure of strength in the game would say otherwise.

1648 vs ~650.

They don't think they're 27.3% stronger than you. Their strength compared to yours gives them 27.3% liberty desire. Off the top of my head, that means they think they have about half of your power. (It's mostly based on ceonomic power and army potential, not standing army sizes, as otherwise all vassals would revolt the second you got a stackwipe. Standing army sizes do factor in though.)

Math is working, but the tooltip could be improved

I will update the tooltip to show the actual value of the power calculation.
