Price well we can all argue that till the next DLC they release.

In terms of content I'm enjoying it a lot and it does put a good spin on the game with traits. I've found so far a lot more offers for the mercany armies when I'm struggling in a war and most importantly free offers of troops. I was fighting the Ottomans as Hungary and Poland offered me free troops to use which was great. You also have an easier time of renting your armies out I find compared to when the mechanic was introduced.

Good or bad I have found your armies get wiped out a lot easier in battles. Good when you are winning bad when you arn't I suppose. It at least does away with having to chase down an army repeatly beating them only to have them run away for the 10th time.

I have noticed the AI offering me more loans than well I ever have. I've never tried to offer a loan with the new patch and dlc but from past experience countries never accepted them it could be just me.

In terms of the traits well its great and much needed from the time of Crusader Kings. They are all over the place in terms of what they can offer your country some being good others bad and some well don't really matter but thus is life. It at least adds a little enjoyment to your rulers and gives them a bit of character. Your military leaders can also gain them which who doesn't like that.

So far what I don't care for is the institutions as I feel they don't really add anything to the game expect something else to manage for the sake of managing it. Basically what it does is requires you to keep developing your country or recieve a negative bonus to your ideas and adm levels requiring more points to upgrade. Now sure you should develope your country and you can recieve the bonuses for completing each institution without developing but by then you'll really be in the hole.

Some may enjoy it for me it adds nothing to the game. Does it take away from the overall addition to the DLC no but it's something you'll have to deal with.

Overall I'd reccomend this game in terms of price I'll leave that up to the person. For me the gameplay feels more engaging my allies and neighbours less bland but hell a good wait and catch this up on a discount is worth the wait I'd say.
