First off, thanks for hosting this great site. I've been lurking for about 3 years, but didn't find it necessary to post 'till now. With that said.....
I luv 1.2
Playing as spain (h/vh) I noticed that within 25 turns the papacy had taken
the territory just north of Valencia next to portugals castle. Upon sending
spies and diplomats to Italy I noticed that milan had taken rome, and that his holiness the pope was actually leading an army taking florence and the islands to the west of genoa. Of course being a staunch catholic I asked for a crusade on rome, promptly sacked the place, and ceded it back to the papacy when requested.
Back in spain, I've had an alliance with portugal for 90 turns (they always backstabbed in 1.1) and have made the moors my vassal (which has held for 60 turns thusfar). So far the feel of the game has improved---and now I feel like I'm playing the game the developers intended me (us) to play. I'm quite pleased.
So to recap-IMHO 1. diplomace much improved
2. powerblocks are a fact now
3. the ai seems less dumb
Cheers, J
