Legends are too OP

[Tebeas]

I created a bunch of legends and got multiple realm tier casus belis for free aka demand fealty. Not to mention the fact I could also de jure drift most of them with the use of even more legends. The game was always a a walk in the park yet now even if plagues ravenge half of my realm I can just create a bunch of legends and still have tier 5 legitimacy lmao. If I increase the amount of plagues the AI cannot handle them and the game gets even easier because all of my enemies died due to typhus and their countries have 0 development. It's insane

I agree

The game is easy huh, easy to do what? What is the victory state of the game?

The game ends early when you lose your last title, and it ends normally when you reach 1453 without that happening. The victory and loss conditions are pretty glaringly obvious.

Legends lead to high Legitimacy, which grants various buffs that make surviving the game a breeze. Legitimacy lets you create titles and vassalize others easier, which leads to more money and larger armies, which protect you externally. At the same time, Legitimacy reduces the rate at which vassals join factions, which protects you internally. When you are protected internally, and protected externally, you have removed almost all risk of not surviving to 1453. Good enough explanation for you?

I have to agree... I just got the Bod Chen Po achievement on my second character of that run. Holy Blood Legacy gave me claims on all de jure titles in Tibet. First king conquered about 3 and a half kingdoms. The second was high diplomacy and legit just vassalized the 120+ counties needed to form the empire. High legitimacy reduced the cost to 70% of de jure counties.

The Custodian of the Holy Site legacy was also great as a Buddhist. Instead of the kingdom level holy war refresh, it converted all my immediate, independent neighbors to Nangchos.
