Description:

Hello players,

I am Malorn, some of you who play EU4 M&T may know who I am. This mod was created for my personal use, but I was encouraged to make it available so others could benefit from it.

This is a balancing mod which alters several key defines to improve the base game balance, producing better outcomes. Succession is a little less secure, and rulers with massive empires cannot muster forces as rapidly. This will NOT make the game easier in most cases, since the player is often the larger in many wars. Politics is more complex and less certain, meaning that you won’t always know if you can win a war when you declare it unless you never take any risks.

A detailed discussion of the changes is posted here:

In sum, this is a balance mod with the focus on increased realism and anti-blobbing measures on the organic level. It is not about hard interventions, but about tuning the game rules to produce certain outcomes. It may be expanded as more ways to improve CK3 become obvious.

I would highly recommend using my mod with the excellent More Game Rules mod.

It is most assuredly compatible, and many of those rules permit other solid balance changes which I highly recommend, and would have created on my own, had pfried not already done so.
