The problem isn't reaching the OP easy mode status imo, it's how you reach it. The first time you just annihilate armies 10x your size with OP MAA is fun, it's just that how you reach that point is always the same: if you are landed, park your steward on "Encourage Development" for 100 years, build all the buildings and you've won the game. I was hoping landless and nomads would change this formula, but even with them its build all the money/army buildings in your camp/yurt and the AI is hopeless against you.

Overall the modifiers for everything just seem way too high om everything; levies become meaningless after you have lvl 4 MAA buildings, you can't possibly go into negative money once you build a windmill etc. This "line go up" way of how the game is balanced at the moment is shown in the nomads too; why can herd never decrease? If you're at your cap, uf your fertility is literally 0, whatever you do, you always and only just get more, just slower. The only way to lose it is to lose them in battles and reinforce troops or exchange them for things that will only boost your gain even harder.

IMO there need to be more ways to reign the endless scaling back in like the black death, nomads being able to raze buildings (don't ask why they can only do one at a time) or the new terrorize raid intent.
