    This is the funniest reason to support LGBT rights. In every single other country national security is one of the reasons that gay people are oppressed. There is something deeply satisfying to me about supporting gay rights for material reasons.

    This is like the opposite of playing crusader kings 2. In that game its not optimal to make withcraft or homosexuality legal because it makes it so easy to blackmail people.

      If the AI were better at using blackmail in 3, it might still be smart to legalize things, because you can use hooks to force fellow vassals to join factions. If you had a player vassal, for example, you might want to legalize a lot of stuff to remove their leverage.

        Yeah I’d imagine the meta for single player and multiplayer are super different. I’d imagine intruige in general is way more important in multiplayer. In single player you can basically brute force your way to victory with stewardship and either marshal or learning occasionally.
