    This DLC improves the game a lot and makes it easier to take some provinces over others because now you need forts, can't just stake wipe because the can't get past you forts. the is more interactions with your vassels. if you don't have this DLC and you enjoy EU4 you should pick it up, you won't regret it

    This expansion is quite a good one, as it improves one of the things most disregarded in strategy games: what to do during peacetime. Adding new features to governments (like Parliaments), more interaction with your subjects (with special ones if you are into the Holy Roman Empire) and thriving in making every religion something unique, all of it makes the game win a lot of personality.This expansion is quite a good one, as it improves one of the things most disregarded in strategy games: what to do during peacetime.

    New development feature allows you to take new strategies, where territorial expansion is not the only way to go, which combines pretty well with new subjects dynamics. Very recomendable.

    Solid expansion and interesting new mechanics. A little buggy at first, but after the first patch and a few hotfixes, EU4 is more interesting than ever.

    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.

    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.

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