I have 1600 hours in this game and zero achievements because I spend all my time in spectator mode watching the AI duke it out, I have never learned to properly play this game and I likely will not make an attempt to learn.
But even I am pissed off about the broken peace mechanics that this expansion offered. The refreshed Italy tree is nice but the Ethiopia and Switzerland trees are completely unnecessary, as they can still be easily conquered no matter what. If you want to play as a Monarchist Italy without being coup'd by the Kaiser, then go ahead and pick this expansion up. In the mean time, wait until it's on sale.
