Quality game and all, but there are still a lot of issues. For one the AI is still garbage; they never seem to help the player (for example Aragon and Naples when in a union with Castile), they seem so just want to sit in their own territory and stick their thumbs up their asses. On top of that the Spanish update did nothing to change Morocco, they're still OP (even more so than before the new DLC). Plus with their new vassals they get to keep their armies effectively quadroupling the size of morocco's army when it eats up all of it's tiny vassals. Plus their strategy is always the same; they first eat their vassals (army size x4), then eat up Telemcen (now they're size of Turkey), then Tunis (now way to big to be stopped by anyone besides the Ottomans), then HEY PORTUGAL UR ASS IS MINE! (THZ PARADOX), then after the snowball is way too big to slow down.

2018 Edit: On a brand new note, WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE POPE'S DIVINE DECREE OF NOT COLONIZING STUFF WITH A CATHOLIC COLONY IN THE REGION? Seriously I was playing Castile one game and Portugal just ignored the Pope's decree and went ahead and continued colonizing the Caribbean. On top of that whenever I break this divine decree the country with that decree and the Papal States get the -100 buff for breaking the treaty while when the AI does absolutely nothing happens to it... explain to me in what world where that's fair, why do I have to be punished for breaking that treaty and the AI doesn't?

2020 Edit: Can you please redo the fort system. I like the ideas behind the system for the player (ie you can't move past a province with a fort in it or adjacent to it... that's good...) But the AI seems to either walk past the fort when they're adjacent to it or seem to ignore the fort all together. (Also it's BS that I have to pay for fort maintenance for the forts I have, but the AI can basically have unlimited forts and not have to worry about paying as much as I do) Like I said a few years ago, the systems you have make sense for the player and any PVP games, but if you have these systems in play make it fair so what ever you do to the player you also do to the AI

In all seriousness I would have recommended this game a couple of years ago when it was GOOD, but Paradox you've mysteriously found a way to ruin this game with some terrible dlc.
