Europa Universalis V confirmed

Is the cost of court affected by the number of courtiers? I thought it was just based off your Economic Base (which is getting adjusted in 1.0.8).

Yeah, I seem to have confused that with actual net taxation. It is an anti-blobbing device, apparently.
Because if it was the actual tax I manage to extract, I would have a Lidl court.

With the beta fixing/adjusting levy recovery, for the first time I have seen Golden Horde collapse.

Not bad AI borders for 1484 (I am Hungary):



In fact it is 1488 now and I have felt the need to intervene in the 1st Venetian-Ottoman war. The Ottos are allied with the Mamluks and I feel like I need to contain them before we build a larger common border. It's nice to be worried about the Ottomans finally.

The war was a bad idea. My uber general could handle the Ottomans but the Mamluk & vassals mega stacks were just too much. Bailed out wit a separate peace by releasing my Montenegrian vassal state.
