I would like to see France lose some of its desire to take over Iberia and something to limit the number of times a character can get an excommunication on any other individual character.

There is no way just yet to know what impact the patch changes will have. But using experience as I guide you can see the possibilities.

In general I would say that if it isn’t broken then don’t fix it. All the nerfing and buffing has a domino effect.

A CB for kingdoms is both good and bad. They go away or are gained after 100 years but that is a long, long time.

When I bought the game Spain was fairly easy. Now it is darn near impossible. All of the little changes seem to be magnified if you play there.

More difficult marriages and alliances is felt most there. Increased Muslim aggression has a very definite result.

Lots of small changes have had a very negative effect on STARTING in Iberia. It certainly is no disadvantage to interlopers. Though I have seen Muslims taking England and Brittany. Which by the way were later blobed by the HRE.
