Is EUIII better than EUII?

[Xiahou]

Plus, I have one major aggravation with EU III- the AI, no matter how much money it creates, seems only to suffer from inflation if it wants to- and that is usually just a few minor factions dying to be exterminated in the first place anyways. Especially in Magna Mundi, that puts the player at severe disadvantage, as the player actually has to keep it in check. Thus far, I have not seen the Vicky AI actually cheat, as it does in EU III.

Have you played the IN expansion? You can turn off "lucky nations" iirc.

Yes, that's all I play. Its really aggravating when I sit there to myself wondering how on earth Austria funds a super-gigantic army, full time infrastructure upgrades, has tons of spare cash, AND has zero inflation. Lo and behold(and I've checked this out a multitude of times in different games to make sure it wasn't a one time fluke), when I try and load up the game as Austria/other major powers, they are printing enough cash to create .3 inflation per year, yet their total is still zero.

One word: Fugger.

So did you turn off Lucky Nations when you started the campaign?
"Lucky Nations" is literally an AI cheat for certain nations depending on their historical strength or even just their proximity to you- it grants the AI nation all kinds of bonuses. Turning it off disables those cheats.
