Warfare : underbaked, MMAs without mods are straight up broken, levies become useless so quickly and some of the good parts of ck2s warfare system were removed ( not saying it was perfect but it was way better than this) fleets are non existent. The vassal vs personal levies system was removed and your own and vassal levies are a single figure so never limiting your own power that much.
Diplomacy : pretty much barely existing. Alliances are so watered down and easy to get it’s insane ( massive dipp in quality from ck2 and eu4) . No post war negotiation like in eu4 ( which I genuinely wonder why hasnt been implemented in ck yet as it fits perfectly) vassals are way to easily satisfied and …… basically just positive stat modifiers.
Economy: this one is straight up so underbaked . Trade is barely existent. Your economy will boom very easily and things are genuinely not expensive enough stuff. There are no money sinks like hospitals and other upgrades like for building has also been watered down… Realm politics and economics is basically just non existent and just revolves around your characters traits. Just go to the stewardship skill and everything will go more than great. Barely any need to upgrade anything and you’ll out perform the ai anyway as it just doesnt know how to play the game.
Plauges : not dangerous enough. Unless its the black death it pretty much never goes anywhere and spreads in only 6 counties at most… The removal of hospitals in favour of the same exact event spam over and over and over again.
Whats strange is that the game has been out for 6 years now.
They seem to focus more on “ roleplaying” aka “le funny incest event” but without actual grand strategy it just falls short. The game basically gives you positive modifiers after positive modifiers. You don’t even have to intentionally try to stack them.
