Game balance

Governments

  • The government reform "French Feudalism" no longer needs 50% of Crownland to integrate subjects. Instead, the "Seize Land" effect has now a counter which allows you to start the integration of an appanage. In other words: to integrate Orleans you would need to seize land and start the integration. For integrating Armagnac you would have to seize land again. You can save up the seize land charges so you can integrate all appanages later at the same time.
