Shouldn't Byzantium have more cores?

[Wizzington]

no

How dare you, sir.

You should introduce a new 'thing' where Byzantium is buffed every patch. But make it a tiny, pointless and irrelevant buff -- just enough to have "Buffed Byzantium by..." listed near the top of the change notes.

Maybe I'll change the shade of Byzantium ever so slightly every patch until it ends up hot pink.

 

[Wizzington]

I think Byz is basically fine atm. No nerfs or buffs planned.

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

I should add a quote about people not understanding what 'complex problem' means.

In general we've removed a lot of foreign owned cores because they screw up the early game. Ottos keep theirs so they can grow faster, Sweden keeps theirs by Decree of Johan, and Byzantium keeps the ones that aren't an easy gimme.

 

[Wizzington]

The problem with foreign cores early game is that it causes Byzantium to sprout up basically everywhere after it gets annexed. Ottomans suffer a rebellion an island? Oh look, Byzantium, in all of her glory, has returned to this earth!

Yeah this is a big reason why as well.

 

[Wizzington]

Byzantium reemerging as the Glorious Empire of Crete every single game is very silly.

 

[Wizzington]

They don't do it because they lost those cores. Used to happen all the time.

Yes, exactly because you can't make the AI properly deal with rebels or landings.

Usually they're force released in war, AI rarely collapses to rebels. Don't let facts stand in the way of your complaining though!
