Balance in Late

[LordK9]

I have recently started playing in late and can't help noticing that it is rather unbalanced at least the way I've been playing; ie, Russia has won on points each time. Is this common knowledge - does this happen too with you folks?

Not that I've noticed.

By points I take it you are playing Glorious Achievements?

[LordK9]

Yes; I move too slowly to conquer all in so short a time. Russia gets two points per province and has no trouble taking a bunch of them from the golden horde.

[Brandy Blue]

Yes, I think Russia gets too many points. Best way to beat them in Glorious Achievements is to wipe them out, IMO.

If you can't wipe them out, at least take Muscovy. It's their only homelands province in Late, and I think the bulk of their achievements center on Moscow.

My thoughts too - getting there is another issue with some of the "easies" (France, Italy) - was working on that with the Turks but alas, the game decided to crash after the second big battle (multiple times! :( ) so I'll have to go back to an even earlier save and fight those monster battles yet again.

I always thought the Byzantines got too much early and too little later onwards.
