I hate to say it, but between the overly simplistic economic system and the, what can only be described as utterly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ military mechanics - this' by far Paradox's most disappointing title. I've over a thousand hours in EUIV & HoI4, several hundred in Vic 2, HoI3 and CK2. And honestly, this title is in the gutter with the likes of Imperator. I'm not even sure that the hundred pounds of DLC that'll inevitably spawn from this ♥♥♥♥-up will be able to salvage this utter dumpster fire. The AI's military acumen is about on-par with a Russian VDV commander in the opening days of the war in Ukraine, and the UI is so convoluted - I could've vomited on my monitor and been able to create something more intuitive.
