Anbennar is a special case, I think. It really leans hard into the existing EU4 mechanics in places, and then does fun things. Immortal elven rulers suffering decadence, war wizards leading armies, dwarves that delve too deep unleashing Stellaris-like invasions from off-map. But then it adds a bunch of amazing things like magic systems. Maybe your ruler wants to study necromancy and become a lich, raising armies of undead to … farm the fields so that your economy doesn’t have any peasants. Etc.
One of my favourite things is the racial militaries. Harpies can fly, so they have insane siege bonuses. Centaurs are a pure cavalry military cause, well…
Worth it if you’ve never tried it. There’s probably more content in this mod than the base game by a factor of two. Start with Lorent (France equivalent) to learn the mod mechanics, then try something more interesting like Frozenmaw (Orcs) as your second run.
