ATM I'm playing as England. Got Ireland, most of France, Kaffa and actively colonizing the Hordes. Changed religion to orthodox by giving up in a war, and started to convert my lands. When conversion was max 30% done, I moved capital to Azow and switched culture to Mongol.
Strange part for me is stab cost. England has CAD, 4 Serfdom, 4 Narrowmindness and bunch of stab affecting desicions, both positive and negative. All of my provinces show negative numbers in required stability, and recovering 1 stab was around 340 gp at its height, and now it's down by a hundred. With monthly income bigger than stab cost, even -5 hits are no brainers. Capital move/cultural shift took less than 6 months to recover, although advisor event helped a bit.
This is strange. I'm thinking about trying Serf/Narrow Ottomans just to see how they can handle their enormous stab problem in early game. Recovering stability for years and even decades in a row is quite common for them and number of other nations, like Lithuania and Sweden. If Serf/CAD combo is so powerful, it might be worth lower income and tech slowdown when compared to Free Subjects/(Any income generating idea). Cheaper armies with bit of morale trade off is quite reasonable as well.
