>Play Ottoman campaign
>It is, understandably, very easy
>Play Knights Hospitaller campaign
>Never got a Knights campaign off the ground in EU4
>Extremely easy to do so in EU5
>Own most of the Balkans and Anatolia by mid 1400's
>Economy is in permanent runaway success mode despite me just leaving it on automate and not thinking about it
>Campaign feels absolutely identical to Ottoman campaign other than the start being slower
>Various differences on paper, such as Rise of the Turks situation, Catholic Church IO, etc all amount to literally nothing and don't distinguish these two campaigns at allThere's no fixing this. The foundation of the game is too goddamn boring to ever turn it into something good at this point. They've got all these mechanics like situations and IOs, but none of them actually do anything. Click on them and you get a popup window with a little bit of irrelevant info in it where you can maybe click on one thing that slightly modifies your nation in a way that you'll never notice for a few years. So you just ignore it all and expand like crazy even if you're playing as a OPM like the Knights. Pathetic lack of differentiation between nations.
