stellaris is by far the easiest paradox game. people say hoi4 is the easiest, but in my first run i lost against netherlands as nazi germany

That is because you are retarded. You can probably take out the netherlands with zero economy and army management just by putting the troops you have at the start of the game and drawing an attack arrow

deserved lol

Even worse, you could do it while the troops are training and have 0 org. The only feasible ways to lose to the Netherlands as Germany is if you let them win, or you are post-civil war Germany who attacked Netherlands over the kaiser not being returned and lost due to have no troops from the civil war.

Haven't played stellaris in over a year and a half, how much of the mechanics have been changed?

Lag was added to balance late-game steamrolling.

Reminds me of how my friend lost against Poland as Germany and complained about how the game doesn't explain anything and got very mad when I told him he should watch a YouTube tutorial and compared HOI4 to Dark Souls

Even easier than CK3 where you a Polish count can secure alliance with Byzantine Empire call 50K troops into every war?

I ragequitted stellaris after the major fuckup patch. I didn't even bother wait for the patch of the patch.
How is now? The abysmal planetary rework is still there?
