Possibly THE worst national decision in the entire game?

[Howl]

2 stab to turn my queen tengri and gain 1 prestige (already at 99)?
Sounds like a bad deal, especially since I don't have Cradle of Civilization, so neither religion nor culture of my court members are shown. Also in 4 years my heir would take the throne, making the decision even more irrelevant.

Unless there are some behind the scenes mechanics for my buddhist queen. I know there are events increasing unrest relating to that, but really, 2 stability?

Kingdom of God is worse.

Liberum Veto is up there for worst. It's basically a holdover from EU3.

Liberum Veto is up there for worst. It's basically a holdover from EU3.

I think it is actually pretty strong. The outright effect is obv great, but it has only 1 "bad" event that actually is imo positive. The event to remove Liberum Veto MTTH is also only 300 months (although it requires 3 stab to fire).

Pretty much any decision that gives permanent unrest or reduces tolerance is awful. +1 unrest makes huge difference with larger empires where you often have ton of provinces in the ~0 unrest range.

they changed some of those..the theologian decision now reduces institution spread instead

Ok, granted. Not literally the worst decision in the game.
But can we agree on, that it is a terrible decision, that should never be taken?

How about the Hindu decision "Anti-Muslim Edict"? -2 Tolerance of heathens for 0.5% missionary strength.

There is VERY LITTLE one can do with half a friggin percent of strength, that is NOT worth 2 unrest in every province I invade outside of India, thanks.

Also with the Sikh buff, the "Accept Religious Sects" decision is also pretty awful. -2% missionary strength vs heathens for +1 Heretic tolerance? A fairly situational bonus to say the least, since their centers of reformation are just unholy bastions of power (Seriously I played a game where I was full religious as Muslim and I still had to drop completely into Mysticism to uproot them. Darned things were burrowed in like a tick).
