Now that the latest update has been out for a few weeks, what are everyone's favourite new or updated MTs?

I quite enjoyed Flying Hound (loved the writing, it was a cute take on the goblins) and the new Reveria (a nicely polished version of a classic MT).

I liked the idea of Overclan, the religiously tolerant Jadd tag, but the dev requirements for the Voltoj academies feels excessive. Also I tend to dislike artficery+magic 'cus it feels like worst of both worlds, so being forced to go combined was frustrating. The narrative delivery of being bureaucratic reports from the Voltoj was exceptional though. A+ on the vision

Iochand seemed promising but I dropped it after succeeding at taking the Small Countries. It felt like a punishment rather than a reward, 'cus you lose a bunch of your most profitable land and also have a fairly large vassal that's immediately very disloyal. I'll give it another go at some point now that I know I need to expand elsewhere way more before I even try to take the Small Countries.

I also tried Olenvalyam but I did it as Ameion and realised that the optimal way to play it RP wise is to play a Taychendi 'cus it's supposed to be a slave revolt and stopped before actually experiencing the MT, so I'm interested to hear what people think of it before I give it another go.

What are everyone's opinions on the 1.2 vassal integration changes?

Personally I feel like it's swung too far in the opposite direction. Something needed to be done to make the single province vassal swarms less appealing, but even with full diplo spending it's going to take me nearly 50 years to integrate one in my current Two Sicilies campaign. That feels like it's way too high.
