Wow. Finally got around to playing this patch and it is booooring. I conquered/vassalized my home continent in early medieval, and then spent the rest of the game, up to industrial, paying for it. I'm in industrial now and I haven't been in a good enough place for
to invade anyone else; I'm thinking I'll just quit. This is just the same old slog of obsessing over happiness, except it's 60%
instead of 0
. Interested to hear if the new patch has gone far enough to actually fix this; I suspect PWs need to be made cheaper; they take 7-12 turns to complete in my cities right now, and that's too long for what they do, even now that they've been doubled.
I suspect the problem is actually worse in the new version, with the new threshold going up to 75%, but we’ll see
