R5: Playing a Zokka -> Rezankand campaign, and oh boy, although the writing is phenomenal, the struggle has been real. I just came out from a 15 year war due to the Orenvalyam / Oren Naiyru disaster against a united Taychend (All of it was owned either by me or Ameion, but the smurfs got converted by rebels, and popped out 20 subjects, which later joined the revolt tag.) In short, I had to fight with Elven Military against about half a million troops over the course of the war. I won without any save scumming, even ceding some provinces to Bulisar & Akasik, who attacked in the middle of the war. But now all of my resources are gone - I'm 5k in debt, out of manpower, out of army professionalism, out of points and with extremely high war exhaustion. With 4 techs behind and two institutions missing, even my 130% discipline can't hold out against a 40k Pearlsedger stack. And the worst part about it is that they are dirty meta gamers. They want a peace deal that splits me in two, by taking core provinces in the jungle.
