    Common Sense is a great buy and a great reason for another playthrough — or three — to enjoy these new mechanics and unique country/religion flavors.

    A great expansion for an already solid grand strategy title, and it feels like the first one to feel essential since Wealth of Nations.

    It’s not essential, and several of the really game-changing ideas are contained in the accompanying free patch, but if you’re a EUIV fan looking for some interesting new challenges, you won’t regret picking it up.

    1- Money. Every DLC they make money even more useless. Come on Paradox, money rules the world now and ever.
    2- Randomness. It is fun to have some random events but EU4 is going to far. We have almost no control of our nation. Every event, mission, even the rivals are decided by the AI.
    3- Monarch points. Even more random and unfair. I know that a country had close ties with the quality of their king but this is too much. Every detail of your nation, from technology to build construction depending on your king is a exaggeration.
    Summarizing, Paradox should stop concerning so much on making the AI competitive( this fort remodel was aimed for that) and focus on make the game more interesting. No one cares if the AI is dumb or whatever. EU4 is a only one of it's kind and for me it means recreate history. However to do it you need a proper world with realistic rules not modified ones to make AI work easier.    … Full Review »
