I have no idea about anything at all beyond 1.5 as that is most that I have, mainly because you don't need anything else to play EB, and I still don't trust Kingdoms. Ehh, what can you do.

Though your point about Epirus does seem strange given their normally super-aggressive behavior in all of the other 1.1 games I have seen posted. It must be a result of having been cowed by the bigger "Alpha Dog" of your Forced Diplomacy. It seems Epirus has met their match .

Hopefully 1.6/BI solved the gifting-province-recruitment problem, but that's something we'll have to wait and see about, which I will be doing most attentively as I follow your fascinating AAR.
