I had fun at launch, then they posted 1.0.10 and went on holiday after almost weekly updates the first month. The game is no longer fun.

I cannot recommend buying it until at least a year into development. Paradox threw a bunch of mechanics in but have not tested or thought about how they interract with eachother. This is a glorified betatest where the game technically *works* but that is only because the million mechanics barely contribute to the maingame. And the mechanics that do contribute get changed every other patch.

You keep returning to a different game than what you thought you initially bought. Save your money until they have actually decided what they're trying to sell.

Update 09APR: Game still feels like a huge waste of time to play. I've given it some more hours but I always close the game feeling worse than when I opened it. Save your money.

Update 23JUN: I've had the "Danse Macabre" event chain 6 times in 4 games, all before 1400. It either kills your king leaving you with a regency of at least 15 years, or it takes away either 12 months of gold or gives you MINUS 50 STABILITY. Event chain also bugged where I killed my heir to avoid the "Danse Macabre" event itself but since my 2nd son was under 3 years old it still triggered leaving me with losing a year of income AND 50 stability.
Don't buy this game. They have no idea what they're doing with it.
