Description:

The aim of this mod is to make the player feel the real difficulty of the medieval ages.

To make the game feel realistic I debuffed the player and buffed the ai with specific and meticulous values to make it as realistic as possible, so forget about expanding a lot with a 2 prowess character or forget about very OP marriages.

WARNING: THIS MOD MAKES THE GAME EXTREMELY MORE DIFFICULT COMPARED TO THE BASE GAME DIFFICULTY, I WOULD RECOMMEND PLAYING THIS MOD WHEN YOU DOMINATE VANILLA CK3

Now for expanding your reign you shall wait for the perfect moment, you shall wait for the perfect marriage, you shall use strategy… or maybe you just want to play tall with your two counties, but beware of the foes that are on the other side of the frontier, you should never trust anyone.

After many hours trying to find the perfect values, you should be presented with a realistic experience of a medieval ruler, hope you have fun!

All suggestions are welcome!
