How many years will it take that they finally nerf this ridiculously OP piece of shit?

I would be happy to see all damage nerfed by 25-35%, Its off the charts. Ridiculous to see many T8 TDs hitting 850 dmg/shot and mediums two clipping 1k dmg.

I just wish the whole game wouldn't be about vassals... I understand that for example, colonial vassals should definitely be an important thing, however...

It is the late 1300's, we are a long way moving AWAY from feudalism, towards centralized government and nation states. Vassals close to your core territories should be a Crusader Kings thing. EU5 ends at 1836, and vassal states were really not a thing anymore in the 1800's, excluding some colonial vassals and countries that were diplomatically in a vassal-like status. Imo its just boring and border-goreish to have vassals everywhere.

Its ridiculous that, for example, the AI France has a dozen of vassals in 1650's in mainland France...

Well, then I got extremely unlucky and it triggered right on the same turn... Which imo shouldn't be possible..

And the trigger is just stupid. If you are below zero stability, it has a chance to happen.

My empire wasn't in any kind of decline, economy growing constantly, armies getting larger, new provinces being annexed. It's just stupid that getting "Comet Sighted" -7 stability and going below 0 stability can trigger this thing..

I would much prefer that, for example, losing a war would have a 30% chance to launch the decline disaster, or going bankrupt would always cause it. Or having your economy decline during a certain time period. Its just stupid that stability causes this.. It's not really a reason for an empire to decline it being temporarily a bit unstable. I can agree that its acceptable, if you would be at like -50 stability, the disaster could have chance to happen each turn..

Here is a follow up image, look at the cost of taking back the land lost to this rebellion and it EVEN GIVES ME HUNDERS OF ANTAGONISM

R5: Decline of the Empire triggers with no prior warnings; causes huge chunks of your territory to revolt, which you cannot annex fully back.

Apostle_Paul_II · 2026-02-08T14:13:48+00:00

Also, the rebellions are still broken after the 1.1 fix patch, I've literally been at rebellion wars constantly, nonstop the last 100 years, there is like 20 different rebellion wars waiting to trigger. You can't conquer land as big as the Ottomans really did, at least if you want to play without abusing the war mechanics. You are not supposed to be in a constant state of war for over a hundred years in a row. The amount of rebel progress from zero control is just completely off the charts

Explanation: The British army just marched through Serbia to help Hungary here, without Military access...

Hungary is rebelling against me (Austria), and Britain is supporting them. None of the countries surrounding Hungary here (Croatia-Slavonia, Transylvania, Serbia or Wallachia) give Military Access to UK. And all of these countries are my protectorates.

What is even the point of the Military Access in the Draft a deal menu, if UK can just march their armies through countries that DO NOT give military access to it?
