It's actually sensibly harder to blob, or rather to hold things together. First is the increase control taking alot more, even with liege's help. The other is all this culture acceptance thingie, there needs to be alot invested in either acceptance either assimilation before growing further. In regards to claim liege title, you already had request claim, buy claim or claim throne, now is just another tool to get a claim. Overall I find is more rewarding to bide your time now.
It also means that they generate stupid amounts of renown. The dynasty was generation almost 9 renown a month when I was playing as Bjorn's grandson.
No, he's always had his own dynasty and house.
While this change itself is cool they didnt account for buildings when it comes to Horse Archers so thats kind of unfortunate.

I've played as him a lot, he has is own dynasty in the previous patches. The devs consolidated all of Ragnar's descendants in the current patch and, now, Dyre starts as a member of the Sigurdr dynasty and then creates his down dynasty having have a second son in the current patch.
I don't understand what people mean when they call something like that exiting. Okay, 2 separate cultures got their own culture groups. This means they won't get +20 acceptance bonus with their neighbors, but that's it. Better accuracy is good, but what exactly about this change excites you?
tbh this kind of thing was the only thing I was excited for with this patch.
What do you mean exactly by saying you're excited? You feel much more fun when playing Vlach simply because their heritage says "Vlach"?
Nothing makes me feel like I'm having "much more fun". Not really even quantifiable. A change in a mechanic in a strategy game at best is going to annoy me slightly less than what existed before. It's not going to blow my socks off like the difference between mowing the lawn and... playing video games. I just appreciate when flavor gets changed around for the sake of accuracy. Also, it's not that it says Vlach it's that it doesn't say South Slavic. Duh.
I know you said "Let's not talk about the Irish" but the tutorial character is literally the wrong guy based on the editor of the wikipedia article for kings of Munster listing a guy who was a rebel (Murchad) as the king for 2 years due to misreading its source.
I‘ve never even played as these cultures but I might now. Idk, it‘s just my autism and I find very „isolated“ cultures very interesting. When I say these changes exite me I don‘t comment on wether or not I find the amount of content in RC enough for a 30$ DLC. I know it wasn‘t a change that was hard to do. It just makes these cultures feel more unique on a very simple level.
tbh I'm thinking about cultures like these when I constantly beg to be able to specifically recruit nobles of minority cultures. In the past there was simply no way to guarantee the survival of these cultures because you're forced to either look all around the planet for someone of the culture or let it die.
Yes, not mentioned in the patch notes is the deprecation of battle events, thus there is no more the possibility for modders to include them in their mods.
That's interesting, the opposite was actually described in the patch notes - "Made Spiritual Heads of Faith more likely to accept giving gold." Maybe that is just due to low opinion due to poor cultural acceptance with the head of faith?
