AND BINGO WAS HER NAMEO ! <| sep |> Liberty desire is way inconsistent . For example , giving vassals land in a peace deal ? Increases liberty desire bc they have more development . Taking the land yourself in the peace deal if possible and then giving it to the vassal manually ? Lowers the liberty desire . In my 1 . 18 games , I would typically have to placate my larger vassals periodically and kept them around 40 % LD . it wasn ' t way way too low , it was just another priority to balance . Now , mind you , I ' ve played only a few hours of 1 . 19 , but when I tried to convert my game over suddenly the LD of my current vassals jumped from 40 to 130 %. That ' s a huge increase . Hundreds of monarch power or all of my prestige just to fix one vassal . And repeat that periodically as that stuff wears off . I just restored a backup and flipped the game back to 1 . 18 , but for future games ? I won ' t be able to reasonably use vassals .
