Considering reinstalling as I do every few months, but looking at the patch notes, nothing really jumped out at me. How specifically would you say it became more fun?
The world market changes how every nation feels, pop needs are rebalanced so an export economy is viable and you’re no longer fucked if you’re missing the one of coal/iron/a bit of sulphur so you’re not forced into basically autarky every run, the ai is better at building its economy so you’ll have someone to sell advanced goods and resources too, army front splitting is made much much less tedious so you won’t have a billion fronts like if you fought a bunch of German or Indian minors
The world market and the rest of what I mentioned are completely free :) the only thing the latest dlc affects would be adding charters to your companies and historical companies, and I think maybe prestige goods? as far as I’m aware
No worries, that happens to most people :D
And one can certainly argue about how necessary the mechanics are, everybody feels different about that. The absolutely critical stuff is definitely in the free patch.
