I'll probably play as a Jewish guy as I never played as them before and it be a bit different. With HIP.
Last time I played, I was playing the Game of Thrones mod. But it was kind of easy. I can see why HIP nerfed assassination jobs...because...I pretty much single handedly took the iron throne through assassinations lol. And a good placed marriage. In a really short time period too. It was fun, but too easy lol. Had a huge empire within 10 years of the game. Then after that, pretty much assassins any time a nation got too strong and then civil war+collapse of nation
I was swimming in money. Yeah I can not do assassinations...but...if a gameplay feature is there, I'm gonna use it. Cause its there. If the game had built-in godmode (I only play ironman mode, so no cheats for me)...I'd use it cause it be built into the game/mod lol. In any case...maybe the vanilla game assassinations are totally OP too (I heard they were). I dunno cause I pretty much went right to HIP (much more fun to me). But yeah...at first I thought nerfed asssassinations were lame, but now I don't and like the challenge of setting them up and trying to get them to succeed and often failing them lol.
In any case...Jewish guy it will be
Usually I play Byzantines or...Byzantines...or...Byzantines...so time to change it up lol. I'll probably set up a merchant republic too.
