RELEASE TOMORROW editionhttps://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/release-map-launching-our-video-tutorial-series.1865478/
first for landless gameplay, how the fuck will they handle playing as an army only?
It's the day after tomorrow.
>>2198035unless you're aussie
>AI literally doesn't work: The Game
Who're you playing first bros
>>2198037Pretty it's also in two days there unless you're a weirdo from WA
>>2197848my knees hurt
>>2198049They've changed it so its now much more aggressive and even breaks alliances. This is Paradox so I expect they've made it too aggressive and guess its charge of the Light brigade level AI and Ulm is going to charge straight at France.
>>2198051The Eastern Byzantine Empire of the Greek Romans
>>2198037We just passed midnight so technically two days unless you're measuring by the hours, but in that case its exactly the same for everyone anyways.>>2198051Iceland. I'm hoping for some comfy economic gaming while I learn the game and struggle to survive winter all building up to a war of independence.
>>2198051Florence, the Medici will lead us to prosperity.
>>2198051I cannot wait anymore frens
>>2198051i will be modding
>>2198078>Deliberately keeping Cilicia independentI like it
but there is already a perfectly fine thread...>>2196903
I boughted.
LAST CALL. Are you DOOMING or are you HOPING?
>>2198083Brother...This is the thread>>2182735
>>2198094~90% "we are so back"
>>2198094It's fucking paradox, of course launch will be shit
>>2198094I KNOW that we are so back
>>2198102>>2198100Hopium alert
>>2198094We already had the poll, we know what the results are, overwhelming "We're so back", even after the rigging.The rigging was really funny I must admit, well played.
>>2198063>Uniornically expecting Paradox to make good AIKEKIS
>>2198111>expectingnothing to expect. it was fixed.
>>2198051hungary, portugal/castile and ottos
>>2198078Based. It`s time to go full RESTITVTOR ORBIS byzantium, then tall byzantium with greece as the core provinces, the catholic byzantium then Trapezous into ERE, then tall Trapezous, then trapezous but it makes a black sea empire, then Greek tall Morea playthrough
>>2198094I was unironically going to spend $85 on the pre-order until I found out that Paradox was going to erroneously refer to The Roman Empire as the (((byzantine empire)))
>>2198133Imagine going catholic Byzantium, might as well go sunni turkish Byzantium while you're at it
>>2198134Just use the gamerule, cuckie
>>2198139no.I might as well just play a modded Imperator at that point
>>2198094I was going to pre-order until I found out that Paradox caved to the demands of byzantiboos and added a game rule to rename the country with the capital in the city of Byzantion to Eastern Rome.
Why would you play this when EU4 with 10000 DLCs and updates exists?
>>2198051Aztec or Mayathe human sacrifices will be accelerated
>>2198134I was unironically going to spend $85 on the pre-order until I found out that Paradox was going to erroneously add a game setting to refer to The Byzantine Empire as the (((Roman Empire)))
>>2198143Because EU4 is arcadey shit
>>2198143Because it's a new DLC simulator !!!My wife, her boyfriends and I are going to love it.
>>2198143Because you'd have to play EU4 for that
>>2198143Because it's time to MOVE ON
>>2198051first Serbiathen ragusathen Jalayrids>t.nordman
Does it have DRM or will it be pirateable straight away?My travel laptop is right on the edge of the reqs it and I want to make sure it runs.
I don't care about other nations having historically accurate AI. I'm playing my own nation, why should I care what the other nations on the map are doing, except for the ones right next to me that I'm going to conquer?
>>2198170Knowing Paradox, people will fiend to crack it as quickly as possible.
>>2198143luv pops, simple as
>>2198170It was said to not have any DRM during the prerelease stream, that's why they weren't sure on the preloading of the game.
>>2198172>>2198170its 20 gigs so you may have to wait for a few hours before somebody uploads it, and then for you to download it
>>2198176>20 gigs>a few hoursnigga it's 2025
>>2198171>why should I care what the other nations on the map are doingI agree but it is nice to see some historical nations forming while playing. The 1800s should not look like the 1300s. The Golden Horde should die,western Europeans should colonize and the Mamluks should get overthrown by Egyptian nationalists at least. I will mod -50% satisfaction for foreign rulers into the game if they refuse to fix that.
>>2198177xir the initial hours after release will have slow downloads because everyone is downloading at the same time
>>2198051Austria with the goals of reaching Austrian empire borders and somehow getting a PU over Hungary instead of conquering it
>in 2 days you will be 85$ poorer >and still crying shitting and pissing in these threads for some reasonIt happens ever pdx title launch and you really think this time it will be different?
>>2198177upload speed is often 10 times lower than download
>>2198178>emirate of old mandinga>viceroyalty of jaguaribe>noble horde>grand republic of erorogondoWhat the hell are these names
In two days time I shall be kicking Turkroach ass playing as the Roman Empire
>>2198183>>noble hordeProbably noble rebels in the golden horde.
>everyone hyped about quill18 shill stream in the last thread>he is the least informed out of all the streamers and doesn't understand the simplest conceptsyall have pink classes on
>>2198189It's almost like being buttmad requires being a unemployed chud with 2000 hours in the game
>>2198189>least informed out of all streamersThat is Clio
>>2198189My nigga quill is still alive? That guy had a good run TEN YEARS AGO
>>2198189>the least informed outDon't even care, I just want to be entertained and see stuff. I'm smarter than all those streamers anyway and I will immediately be better at the game as soon as I start playing, they don't have anything useful to teach me.
>>2198189Quill is like the nostalgia critic of Paracocks streams. He's a retard but he was the first to start doing it, and he's somewhat more tolerable than the basedface zoomers that make up most of the scene. He also clearly gives zero shits and is just collecting a paycheck. He's so committed to half assing it that it becomes respectable again, somehow.
>>2198192I love that hag with all my heart but God damn was that EU5 stream painful to watch, she desperately needs to take like a week off streaming to actually learn the game
>>2198051Probably Venice. I was very conflicted between Ottos, Korea, Austria and Barlas (for Timurids) but I think Venice has the best balance of things to do + ease of introduction.>>2198143Because I don't want to play EU4. Haven't touched it since 2017, the game is repulsive dogshit. Last EU game I played for any serious length of time was EU3.
>>2198183Noble horde sounds kino honestly. The rest are just ungabunga names like Tanganyika or Demerara-Essequibo
>>2198051Holland.Will also try out Spain and the Ottoman empire though.
never played EU4 but I played EU3 a lot like 8-10 years ago. might pirate this for some cheeky byzantine fun. just hope it isnt overly complicated, as i was too intimidated even to play vicky 2
ARE YOU READY?
>>2198094I’M GONNNA HOOOOOPEI’M HOOOOPING
>>2198221checked except my i7-13700K
>>2198178Something happens sisters what's our response?
>>2198221time to clean up my SSD
>>2198212>Because I don't want to play EU4. Haven't touched it since 2017, the game is repulsive dogshit.So EU4 is "repulsive dogshit" and EU5 is going to be megagold? Why? What's different?
>>2198221My 7600x3d got this
>>2198221Geforce Now better be ready or I'm shooting up the NVIDIA HQ
can someone just tell me if this is a GOOD PARADOX game (vic2, hoi3) or a BAD PARADOX GAME (vic3, ck3)i got really hyped for vic3 and feel so burned on that game being such an ass-backwards anti-fun disaster i have very little faith in new paradox releases. also, ck3 was fun for maybe like a few hours but then it was so shallow and i just got sick of it.will this be good and fun?for whatever reason i never got into eu4 so im new to this particular franchise.
>>2198232well it's looking a lot closer to Vic2 than to EU4do with that what you will
>>2198232did you like meiou or imperator? then this will make you cream yourself
>>2198232I could tell V3 and CK3 were going to be shit before they released, but this one looks better.
>>2198232Just watch gameplay for yourself:https://www.youtube.com/live/3kngD-C4xYc?si=n7HgX0jKv0q9enaEIt’s gonna have flaws but I think it’s shaping up to be good.
Will anybody else besides me try to play through geforce now?
>>2198221Everything but my processor meets minimum requirements. Pray for me.
>>2198235>>2198236>>2198237>>2198238>4 replies in under a minuteoh my god ive never seen this board go so fastthanks for the advice bros. >>2198235 makes me cautiously autistic.
>>2198241i would rather kill myself then to voluntarily use a subscription service that isnt essential to survive nowadays
>>2198232It's honestly looking to be the only good modern paradox game
can someone mod this banking tag into the game?
>>2198252Cool it with the anti-Semetic remarks.
>>2198252if this banking tag builds a building it lowers the pop growth and stability for the host country
>>2198252it isnt?first they dont add the gypsies, then they deny the protagonists of history their debut as well. this is an outrage
>>2198255>>2198252Fluvial, Equatorial, Lacustrine BANTU pops start showing up
>>2198252did they even add the Fugger family?
>>2198143New thing good old thing bad.
>>2198258they did, they say it in the diary!
>>2198248eh I have20 euros to spend per month. My computer is ass.
if you finna play some basic bitch shit like byz or portugal first honestly just kys urself
>>2198257But they refuse to work
the correct first playthrough is always your own home province
Laith is live, do we like him?
>>2198241Yeah my 7 year old laptop will likely crap out if I try to run it on thatParadox has repeatedly stated it should be available on release so I think we're good
>NOOOO!!! You need to play as the FAMED Ngupootoo tribe of sw Africa or the Ding Dong Clique of west China! You CANT play countries that actually matter!
any manchu enjoyers?
Eurocentrists get the rope
>>2198276Nah Arumba and Quill
>>2198276We're all watching Arumba
>Eurocentrists get the ro—
>>2198268I'm gonna play Somalia as soon as I can pirate the game
>>2198256
>>2198286Nostalgia hits so hard man. Quill and Arumba thought me how to play eu4 and now here we are several years later and cycole repats itslef.Can't wait till tuseday when game releases.
Can't wait to block all those e-cancers once the game is out
>>2198051England. So long as I can find a way to shed continental possessions in order to live peak perfidiousness with too much humilation
>>2198284>cuck18how can anyone stand listening to that faggot for more than 20 seconds
>>2198284I thought we hated them
>ddrjake streaming eu5
I got excited when I saw someone streaming Brandenburg but it is fucking Ludi
>Opens the consoleNothing personal chuddy
who are you watching /vst/?
>>2198284>ArumbaHe seems to be playing EU4 right now
>>2198311bros this might just be the game I stop savescumming in...
>>2198300We're allowed to like them when /gsg/ isn't in the room.
>>2198314Embargo lifts at the turn of the hour, no one 'should' be streaming EU5 before then.
>>2198309I've seen paradox streamers that defy and test human sanity, what is it about the medium that brings out these nikocado type niggas?
>>2198170You can probably play it with just a steam emulator. If I remember correctly Paradox games only require cracks for DLC, and there won't be any DLC at release.>>2198176About 15gb apparently.
>>2197848Am I shooting myself in the foot if I play some literally who in the HRE first? after the tutorial of course
>>2198323If it makes you feel any better, I am a total retard if my borders are inside of the HRE.
>>2198323not really, quill18 survived with barely any knowledge as opm strasbourg
>>2198323Pick whoever you want bro
>>2198323Nah, HRE players are eating well with the granularity of the situation, the dream of being a hyperlocalist empire, supporting german village-level vassal autonomies all while blobbing outside to keep yourself sharp...this is the Antigonid dream
>>2198323i will be playing a literal who opm in the HRE for my first game (because i live there irl)
>>2198323Game looks piss easy on release
>income derived from interest does not contribute to economic capacity>can easily get higher trading advantage than any other tagsaccurate representation, banking dynasties and the hansa are going to be making 4 and 5 figures by mid game
>>2198323It's all good. Just gobble up your fellow OLMs (One Location Minors)
>>2198338Frankly this paradox habit of just slapping on mechanics to simply say they have something of worth, it's like Fnaf 2, just throw ten time bombs at a guy and have him try to defuse them all, I think you people are gonna find in due time that the launch will be the most enjoyable state
>>2198339Are you able to seize the banks’ property and wealth in the game?
I will call the roof koreans if Ludi doesn't go for the von Hohenzollerns.
lel
>>2198345i dont think romania has those
>>2198313not a hoi4 tranny for sure
>>2198323I'd probably pick one away from France since they seem the only threat in the game
>>2198347:DDDDDDD
>>2198352the AI doesn't expand beyond de jure borders, buddy
>>2198321No idea how paradox managed that
Some streamer going to Zutt the muslims?
>>2198313THAT OLD MAN HAS HAD HIS TIME
>>2198355tell that to poor Aragon
Who are we watching?
>>2198375CountChristo
IT'S OVER
>>2198375Arumba
>>2198375No clue desu neither of the vtubers is streaming right now
>>2198375i'm watching the maids taking a bath in the royal palace of the nation i'm playing as.
>>2198375Pats vs Falcons
>>2198375pewdiepie
>>2198051The Chosen People (Society of Pops) of course.
>>2198389why are you here then?
>>2198397How does that fucking work, could a player just pick "Bavarians" or "Greeks"? Clue me in
>>2198401Some Nations don't have physical land, like Native American tribes and Daimyos. If there isn't a Jewish tag like this then I'll just mod one.
>>2198375Was doing Laith but Arumba looks to be doing England so him now
>>2198385There's a vtuber (male) streaming it
>DDRjake playing EpirusAre there anyone else that are playing smaller/lesser known countries?
>>2198411Quill
Will there be a big day 1 patch
>>2198411quill18 is Strasburg
>>2198305He swapped to playing Nancy Drew
>>2198323No. A good literally who to play would be Austria or Brandenburg, two frontier states that will probably never amount to anything ever.
>>2198422Based
>>2198411red hawk uploaded worms
>>2198429he's got worms alright
>>2198432his worms is tiny on the map
>>2198422Unfathomably basedNancy is /ourgirl/, real Johanheads know
Tommykay playing Ottomans, he will get rekt by AI Byz or Eretnids probably lmfao.
Damn this ones even rougher than tonga
Pack it up boys, it's over.
>>2198439based island chiller
>>2198440>literally nothing happens
>>2198440Chuds won
>>2198051Brabantt. van't stad
>>2198439stop yapping
>>2198440Paradoxbros, they'll have to cancel the game now, are you satisfied? Is this one of your sick kicks, to see young and aspiring game developers out of business?
>>2198422It's over.
>>2198440t-the p-p-patches will f-fix it!
>>2198323I WILL be playing my home town in EU5 and no one can stop me.
>>2198440I'd not even noticed the bordergore in South Africa last time I saw this
>>2198440>>2198454Fixed lol.
The patches will fix it
>>2198460And broke something else just like they did with trade.
>>2198460>increase a variable from 0.3 to 0.7>suddenly the AI is perfecthmm yes for sure, gulliblebro
>>2198460proof that dooming works to force change
>>2198463>the game is broken because...because i said so!!!!
>>2198460>we fixed it bro trust me>afters months of beta testing >2 days before launch>only after people got mad when we accidentally leaked it
>>2198440>Keev got even bigger than last timeIt is so fucking over
>>2198440>1806Did it crash 4 years earlier this time?
>>2198440That looks worse than simply "nothing ever happens", there doesn't appear to have been any colonisation unless the AI was so low aggression that any colonist revolt won instantly.
>>2198485how blind?
where is the wikipedia page for it so i can read up on nations?
>>2198342Lambert has forced ULM (Unique Location Minor) to be the game's term for nations with only a single location.
>>2198488How colourblind?
>>2198490shan't be using it.
>>2198491how retarded?
>>2198467Yes.
>>2198493We don't sign our posts here.
>>2198488to be fair its fucking impossible to tell whats going on colonialy because for some reason they don't seem to have overlords colour.
>>2198440So do they just play tall instead of expanding? Or do they do anything at all?
>>2198489Here's the lore drop:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_modern_period
>>2198490it's SPH (Single Province Holder)
>>2198499They carefully pick their wars to ensure the most horrendous mathematically perfect bordergore.
>>2198499uhh listen anon we don't host Q&As, just read the dev diaries and preorder
>>2198221>Windows 11It's so over.
>>2198403Societies of Pops are unplayable on launch, making a Jewish banking tag probably wouldn't be too difficult though, though banking tags and hansa for some reason need their own culture to function.
LEAKEDInstalling now
Should I play as Iceland or a German minor state as my first play through
>30Mb downloadWell, everyone needs to learn their lesson so they don't make these mistakes I suppose.
holy moly this game is boring to watch someone else play
>>2198513>installing bitcoin miners
>>2198519True, it seems fun to play and boring to watch. The EU content creators are all fucked.
>>2198440Could've at least posted the new timelapsehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJnL_z8miOU
>>2198513Of questionable veracity and homosexual tendencies
>>2198519Early gam set up being more in-depth does seem like its going to be rough for streamers. Least in EU4 they had the 12th December 1444 DoW to spice things up.
>>2198440>principality of kyiv that bigis it really going to be like that every game now?it was a shithole of a failed state after getting btfo by the mongols
It releases at 8pm in my country, i already made plans to not go to work and the next day i work only in the morning so i'll have half the day off, feels good
>>2198440>>2198524The Chinese are going to hate this game
i would only watch robbaz play this autism, at least he is funny sometimes. I dont care for any of these people. Couldnt force myself to watch even if they played a country im interested in.
>>2198529>taking days off to play a gameThis is the most pathetic shit ever. Do people seriously walk up to their boss and go "Uhhh sorry boss I'm not coming to work because I need to play my bing bing wahoo"?
>>2198524>novgorod colonizing siberiawe eating good, bros. fuck muscums!
>>2198533No you phone in and say you're sick and take a statutory sick day
>>2198530why would theythey will only play in China so obv they won't ever see smth like this happen
Playing as China before they add some bullshit China DLC that hamstrings them
>>2198529You should take days off the game for the PATCHES
>even on the new patch it's fuckedHOW THE FUCK IS SOMALIA THE ONLY BLOBBING COUNTRY
>>2198051Probably England. They're kino throughout the entire period. After that an Iberian or German. >>2198094I have hope. Early modern is my favorite historical period. I have hundreds of hours in with fire and sword and I own pretty much every John Tiller Pike & Shot game. I've always found EU pretty boring though, as I'm partial towards sims as opposed to board games.
>>2198524>czech brazilummmmm zased?
>>2198540Someone over at Tinto really hates Ethiopia
>>2198524Not new, it's the old timelapse but posted in full now>FYI this was made on the October 16th patch for EU5 and took me just under 13 hours!
>>2198546is that before or after the nerf trade patch?
What will the modding scene be like, first week starting?First month projections?
>>2198533You take your paid days off, which you've earned through your own labour and (in some countries) legally REQUIRED to occasionally take, even if you don't want to.
>"Latest patch fixes the game! Uhh, no not that new patch I mean the newer patch. Actually that patch was before the feedback where Paradox listened, just wait for the newerer release patch!"its over
>>2198533You've never had a job, have you?
>>2198548Bunch of people trying to fix the AI.A few weak early attempts at doing fantasy mods. Extended timeline/Modern day start mod.
>>2198323No because the AI is lobotomized so you can do whatever
>>2198552i play paradox games
>>2198548disable hegemony modslower cultural assimilation mod
>Download Extended timeline mod>Set date to Jan 1st 1836yep, its kino time
>inb4 people who are whining about ai being retarded gonna whine about how they are steamrolled on release
>>2198548Historical clothing packs because the fucktards at paradox forgot about it so we have Napoleon in plate armor (kinda kino)
>>2198559unquestionably better than Vic3
For me it's No Characters Mod
Are the characters still in perma-renaissance even in 1800s?
>>2198546Fuck, why did this fag post both at the same time. Here's the real new onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaUOw5uu1tg
>>2198548Israel mod
>>2198567yes
>>2198094Cautiously optimistic. Definitely going to wait a week, preferably a month to see how things go.
>>2198568Culture map
>>2198568>Spanish SiberiaOh God I'd forgotten that was a thing
>>2198568Looks better but, poor Russia and Ottoman Empire.I remember them saying in the EU4 dev diaries that Ottoman Empire and Russia never forming was one of the things they wanted to fix.
>>2198568Looks fine honestly, except that colonization is even more cancerous than in EU4. Certain countries consistently being too weak and others too strong are just about balance tuning.>>2198572And, as literally everyone predicted, assimilation is retarded.
>>2198572>Mongolian Iraq
>>2198568Religion map
Imo assimilation should basically not exist unless you use the cabinet action for it
>>2198577By far the least retarded map.
>>2198533Yes.
>>2198568>FYI this was made on the release patch (November 1st) for EU5 and took me over 30 hours, compared to just under 13 hours for the October 16th patch lmao
>>2198579The opposite. The cabinet action, which is what leads to entire regions being fully assimilated in a few years, is what shouldn't existed.
my first goal is to unite italy, conquer egypt, then take over the spice trade through the indian ocean alongside coffeewill also try to colonise the caribbean for sugar and tobacco
>>2198577Shiabros...
>>2198572british empire?
>>2198572>Italian BrazilIt's honestly an improvement
Kiev*
>>2198588You'll have to wait for the DLC
>>2198530They won't play any other country anyway so it's not like they can see it implode and never reunite again.
>>2198051Majapahit or Brunei
how does one import colonial trade goods to europe through several markets?do european pops actually want those goods? will they pay good prices?
>>2198591>!ad #ad - SLAVA UKRAINESo Zelensky is sponsoring streamers now?
>>2198572>punjabi tibetThey really need to add some sort of cultural values or traits that would block shit like this, like certain cultures being less efficient in mountains or even dying at a higher rate
>>2198568okay it's time for fear and loathing
anyway im gonna go generate some porn on perchance and then play eu4 and wait for release. Couldnt force myself to watch any of these people.
>>2198572>European colonizing inland AfricaThis is so fucking retarded. They have an entire mechanic of disease that should prevent this and every timelapse I see, Europe colonize the entirety of Africa like it's 1880. Realistically they should only have ports and maybe vassals because of malaria.
>>2198596>do european pops actually want those goods? will they pay good prices?Yes. The Saffron vtuber discovered chocolate in the Americas and created a massive plantation for it on the Canaries. Then she controlled the flow of chocolate into Europe in order to keep the prices high while making a ton of cash since she was the only supplier at that point
>>2198597>So Zelensky is sponsoring streamers now?Because paradox has given him free DLC he is required by Danish law to always have #ad in his title
>EU5 lacks polish when compared to Vic3 and CK3 on release - LaithHow bad is it going to be?
>>2198607But my heckin world conquesterinos
>>2198605based, make some female advisor pictures like that eu4 mod
>>2198620Johan is fucked
>>2198621I hate WCucks so much it's unreal.
>>2198375Generalist, you got to watch the high IQ CCshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaqZ0IyLIOM
>>2198591fuck you for making me listen to these *forced howling laughter* retards stuck in a lobby. They emanate the kind of aura typical of people you wouldn't want to be caught dead sitting with in the cafeteria. Checked out 3 other streams as well and it was simply too boring to listen to.
First thing I will do is play the Golden Horde and enslave everyone in Kyiv.Slave Ukraini!
>>2198375Florry trying to do a Roman Empire world conquest day one.
i cant watch others playi feel like everybody is just clicking around doing random shit and playing it like an arcade number go up button spamno game vision, no story, no immersion rp wiseare all these content creators just retards?
>>2198639
>>2198533If you're from a normal country, you'll have many weeks worth of paid days off. It's more then enough to spend some time on holiday somewhere, and then the rest you're staying at home anyway.
>>2197848>old fat white dude is in charge>game comes out greatAs foretold by the ancient profecies.
>>2198591Ukraine is winning.

>>2198181when did I ever say I think this time it will be different? I don't want to buy the game but I can't NOT buy it

Quarbit went Norse as Norway and slave raiding seems busted
The capture slaves mechanics is pure fucking bullshit, there's no logistic element nor anything. It should have a limit based on your army size and you would need to move them with your army back to your country to actually get them.
>>2198051I usually like to play Denmark as a tutorial country. It's kind of out of the way, so it's not threatened by big empires, reasonably developed, not too big so you don't have to divide your attention, potential for nordic union and colonization.
>>2198725>Nordic unionHow does that work?
>>2198720qrd?
>>2198725>denmark>not threatened by big empiresenjoy getting sodomized by HRE minors.
>bokoen: market economy has less depth than vic 3>bokoen: the game loop is horrible and there is nothing to do >bokoen: the game is bloated with mechanics that doesn't matter at all, and you can just ignore them>bokoen: most of the game is just speed 5 while you are alt tabbed it's over
>>2198737>>2198739>another Hoi4babby filteredI kneel, Johan.
>>2198727I imagine there are some events for the kalmar union
>>2198739>a second bokoen post has hit the EU5 thread
>>2198739>>2198737Hey Bokoen, your ad bot is broken.
>>2198734when you occupy land as a slaver nation you get a fixed percentage of the population teleported to your territory as slaves
>>2198734Your army takes a province as Norse or a slaver nation you get slave pop back in your nation
>>2198739>>2198737>>2198591
>>2198745>>2198748Lol, I hope they don't patch this shit before release I want to have some fun
>>2198737>bokoenNone of these fags seem to play their games in a way that looks fun. All the HOI IV ones just follow the meta to the letter, unless it's a meme video where they're using all cav or something. It's fucking boring and I don't know how people can stomach watching it.
>>2198744>>2198742>>2198754johan made another imperator tier flopcongrats, lmao
>>2198745>>2198748teleport is bullshit, even ck3 requires that you return back with the lootcan anyone else become a slaver nation? is it gated by religion and religions cannot reform to have a slaver tenant or something?
Are there slave revolts in this? Asa Maghreb nation having your population be 60%+ enslaved Christians sounds like a Haiti situation in the making.
The fact that every soi4 homosexual seems to hate it is a major green flag
>bokoen1 hates the game because he can't draw an arrow
>Johan in the prerelease stream: well you cant please everyone, perhaps for some players this will be a bit difficult>streamers 5 days later: filtered, coping, seethingJust as the prophecy fortold
>>2198702OK that CB is overpowered as fuck you can call every Muslim nation from Kanem to the Ottomans in on it.
>>2198741Yeah, though what actually does it mean. EU4 had to give Sweden events to ensure they break free instead of getting annexed. Assuming they fix the ai enough for the AI to start getting it'' shit together the Kalmar union actually working as intended will probably result in a unified Scandinavia every game.
>>2198737>>2198739WhoBuy an add
I am sort of new to the grand strategy stuff. I have played a lot of Crusader Kings 3 and nothing else. What are some primary selling points of Europa Universales 5? I really enjoyed crusader kings 3 so would I like EU5 also?
>>2198750wokoen
>>2198771>What are some primary selling points of Europa Universales 5?That is after eu4
>>2198771other time period and nation building instead of dynasty building
its over https://strawpoll.com/XmZRQPK13gd
>>2198737It's honestly infuriating to watch these hoifags play, it's just confirming what we already know about the average hoi4 player's iq. I honestly know more than him from just reading the TTs.
>>2198771doubtful since its much harder and less personalized on characters, almost completely different game.Selling point is mechanical depth i guess, who the fuck knows, the game isnt out yet.
>they unironically leaked the gameBAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Soy4tards are whining that you can't blob fast enough
Isreal?
where the leaky
dont be a chump
>>2198783you mean palestine
>>2198787I think its Trump Industries Mediterranean resorts and parks now
>>2198785Here>*puts his ass leaking semen over your mouth*
*slurps*
>>2198793>"slups up the cummies like a good goy"
there are too many polish people in this thread for my comfort
>>2198780What were past Europa games like? I am just trying to get a feel for if it has what I like I guess. I really enjoy the Dynasty building in CK3. So if Europa is less focus on characters and more on nations, I guess its a different take. I will have to look up more on it.
>>2198799can you confirm this poll anon?
The take is that any GSG that is released today will be hated because of a sea of metagamers and easy access to information.
there are too many polish "people" on the planet for my comfort
>>2198776>poll had over 90% for "we're so back">pollster flips the options>"we're so back" still rises all the way to 56% anyway
more like goyropa slopiversalis
>>2198785sent it in email :)
>>2198801im a big noob in eu4, its a relatively simple game that got bloated to hell with dlc's. Ultimately its a map paint, you (or at least me) barely notice who is your monarch at any given moment.eu5 will have dynastic lines tho, it is more similar to CK than eu4.Just pirate on release or just look at their steam page, they tell you what kind of a game it is themselves.
how do I swap religion?
unlock the game already johan
>>2198801In the past characters basically didn't exist and their relevance is only marginally higher now.It is primarily about nation building, conquering lands, exploring and colonizing the new world, turning your backwater shit hole into an empire, wrecking a historic superpower/rescuing your doomed state etc.
>>2198803choices are untrustworthy due to the incident, but i think majority chose its over
>>2198813Wasn't it 40% of population to swap outside religion group?
>>2198808its around 80-85% we are back in reality
>>2198813what do you mean I? you arent playing bitch fuck you
>>2198822prove it
>>2198823i cant prove a negative
>>2198822I am a kang you foolish timmyof course I'm playing
>>2198590
This game really is just mindless blobbing
>>2198834Its a map painter
>>2198834Johan made it easier to blob because of the content creators feedback
Leaked build saars ?
>>2198837Content creators have become a cancer
where's the leak or release god dammit I wanna play (not gonna buy it)
>>2198834except nothing ever happens because AE gain is insane and the control mechanic makes the provinces worthless anyway
>>2198739>>2198737Bobkoen, my son, stop crossdressing
>>2198737>>2198739how did this happen
>>2198843It keeps getting taken down :(
>>2198844Good. Johan understands that blobchads blob out of the simple and pure desire to paint the map. Receiving benefits for it sullies our art.
Can't wait for more Aztec wank instead of focusing on the natives who were able to mount an effective resistance against colonialism.
>>2198850why dont they name it something else? Like Animal Crossing let's say.
what should I pick?I plan on conquering most of west africa before 1400 if possible, I don't really see a point in going administrative yet
>>2198843>>2198850It's still in a website called "gay porn" search it infront of your mom
>>2198739>a retard said this: retarded statementThanks for the update.
>>2198858which one of these vn options gives you the waifu that stomps on your balls
>>2198858No use in using diplomacy if you aren't colonizing or expanding overseas.
>>2198858Share the game files you absolute mongol>>2198859Instructions unclear I got a platypus instead
Did it actually leak? I don't see it on the tracker and I can't imagine those russian niggas would comply with a takedown request.
I DONT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL TOMORROWLEAK IT NOWNOWNOWNOW!!!!!!!
>>2198864It's on the /gsg/ Discord server.
im leaking...
>>2198864which tracker?
>>2198866bullshit. der cord is for troons
>>2198866oh fuck that
>spam 1 location march subjects with one fort eachhehehehehe
>>2198869:^)
>>2198861Definitely "Enforced Service" on the military branch."Benefits for Mercenaries" is the whorefu route. Middle gives you a cheapskate hag merchant.
>>2198871theres no way you actually believe that
>>2198866>t.
>>2198051France, Byz, Muscovy, in that order
not joining some trooncord
>Try to build a bank bbc>Have to be of jewish religionWhat did Johan mean by this?
>>2198876How should I know, I don't go there. The only news I hear of /gsg/ is negative.
>>2198866Do not join this, some Alex guy pm'd me demanding a picture of my dick for "verification"(?) and he deleted me after I sent it and didn't even rate
>>2198882>>2198880real chuds do not use der cord that's gay and retarded if a /gsg/ cord exists its a honeypot simple as.
WTF THE LEAK JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE
/gsg/ posts among us evacuate!
TURN ON THE TV
Check steam
>Johan has defeated evil blobbers>forgot to add things to do outside of blobbingLOL
>it's real
so you're telling me if I want to 100% my tech I'm going to waste a bunch of years finishing tech from the previous era before I even start with the current age? but will the AI do the same or will they rush newer advances?
damn you niggas are absolutely mindbroken by /gsg/
>>2198893>Johan has defeated evil blobbersI dunno about that, Ludi is on his way to form Prussia by 1400 while also complaining about how hard the game is and how aggressive the AI is
>They accidentally released earlyJohanxisters...
>>2198897>prussia took him 70 years even with console cheatsWe are so back.
>>2198895I don't think you can 100% the tech. There's too many techs. It's on purpose, just pick the ones you actually want.Also older age tech gets a discount so you may as well leave it for even later, I rushed like 5 early techs all at once in age 4
>>2198898>press x to doubt
>>2198899I get the joke, but this is supposedly "very hard" difficulty and he just mindlessly declares war on everyone while ignoring every other aspect of the game
>>2198895in modern pdx games you really dont need max tech.CK2/3, stellaris, hoi4, max tech is overrated.
>>2198903The difficulty settings don't really do anything.
>>2198905but I want to wakandamaxx>>2198901I'll leave them then, going to get the new units first
>>2198903Yes, that is how 90% of people will play the game.
>>2198908you probably still can because if EU5 works like the other PDX games, a smaller country will gain literacy much faster than any large country.
THE LEAK JUST HIT THE PENTAGONhttps://youtu.be/FvBS3HmKUiQ?si=Y_-IYqipupoh8SrP
Johan, a second leak has hit the servers
The danes are hiding Leaks of Massdistraction
I've successfuly shat in the fan sirs the hype is real
Is EUV is good I will refer to Johan as Johannes for the rest of my life
Smells like /gsg/ here.
I've seen the leak
POO
i hate gsg so fucking much those faggots think they are so funny for not quoting posts they are replying to
>>2198926Has been the case for weeks now
Can we see this leak?
My mum is baking apple pie
there is no leak you stupid retardshe's posting footage from one of the 500 videos on yt
>>2198934No shit sherlockThey all know that
why are all savages such nazis in this game1 culture, 1 religionWHERE IS DIVERSITY
absoluteHabibi -EU4 multiplayer youtuber who got to play test EU5 a lot- says the gameplay loop of CK3 and Vic 3 got boring within 100 hours but he has around 1000 hours in EU5 and isn't bored yetWe are back sars

>>2198956>we are weaker than themlmao. game is so casualized.
Is there anybody streaming that isn't mentally ill and/or retarded?

>>2198973Bavarian Papist agents to capture and execute all red blooded Prussian patriots.
>>2198986>quill or ludiholy reddit
>>2198982no, only bokoen.His main MO when reviewing non-HOI games is to play MP and cry when it crashes several times on the first week of release, then base his entire liking of the game on how many times the game crashes.
>>2198965innit?
>>2198051Chagatai, hoping for Timur to be born and then flip to the Timurid Empire- Poland, later turned into a (polish-lithuanian hyper-diverse and schizoid) republic - Scotland as a colonization, tech and development run
>>2198996what the fuck are you asking, bong?
you now remember that they gave modders access to the files as well which means they were suffering even more than the streamers by having to interact with the shit under the hood. the world is so beautiful.
if Tommy can do it, then you too, dear no reply /gsgl niggers can do it
>>2199007just like the vic2 modders who got vic3 early accessremember when it had the divergences mod day 1? then it was abandoned immediately
>>2199007How mentally ill does someone have to be to waste so much time slaving away for a mod team only to not get paid anything? How does a Paradox game even require teams to mod it?
>>2199007i find it so weird not a single modder leaked files
i had an irl friend that posted on gsg and he tried to violate my holes
>>2199010we all know why though. V3 is a gay game with gay mechanics that no one liked and it was unstable as shit and wasnt like vic 2 at all.
1337 was a mistake
Ludi might actually be roomtemperature(°C) IQ

>>2199029How is he wrong
>>2199030his avatar implies otherwise
>>2199031How do they do it?
>>2199034Yeah the AI did something... kill itself
>>2199037>victim blamingTypical fascist.
>>2199036was this made by a croat
>The most popular content creators hate it>All the smaller content creators love itSo the topdogs can afford to state their opinion, while the smaller ones are too busy bootlicking trying to get their metrics up.
>>2199036I can't handle this image
can you shut the fuck about the balance that can be turned 180 after a single patch?
>>2199042Worse, a hungarian.
>>2199012>How mentally ill does someone have to be to waste so much time slaving away for a mod team only to not get paid anything? Most modding teams for any game nowadays are full of NEET trannies>How does a Paradox game even require teams to mod it?Because new mechanics are added, hundreds of nations with full content get added, art gets added, thousands of events are added
>>2199043Spiffing Brit is probably the biggest cc to touch it and he loved it
>>2199043the small content creators in this niche need paradox to keep giving them keys
>>2198995He gave vic3 a hard pass on that frontSoi4 players are beyond brainrotted, like even worse than new-EU4fags who can't play without missions.
>>2199048Spiffing brit is almost never negative on games he touches
>>2199053he didnt like vic 3
oooh, a red number, time to make a new thread, right?
>ISP hates it>Bokoen hates it>new EU4 content creators seething that they have to play it nowbut what about /ourguy/ chudgun? I can't form an opinion without a basedtuber to tell me how to think
>>2199051yes but that's because he's a massive victoria hater and contrarian and was one of the only creators being paid for his opinion back then.pdx never reached out to Vic 2 youtube
>>2199056they didn't give him early access
>new-EU4fags who can't play without missionsI genuinely don't understand these people since both vanilla and most mods just use them as a way to give you a bunch of permanent claims
>>2199056Most EU4 creators seem okay with it. Hoi4 guys are the ones that hate it.
>All GSG content creators either hate it or love it>GSG to end all GSGs, perfectly splitting between the normoid HOI4 fanbase and the autistic simulation fanbase
>>2199061Weren't there missions even before the trees?
>>2199060>buying the game
>>2199066Yes, they worked similar to how estate agendas work now. There were even some unique missions with that system like the Aragon mission to conquer Saruhan
>>2199066Yeah they were decisions that gave you claims and were most of the time random
>>2199056to be fair isp says the ottomans are too easy and the game is good but it keeps crashing
>eceleb 1 opinion>but eceleb 2 opinion!!11>i'm a mindless amoeba that outsources thinking to authority figureskys
>>2199056ISP didn't negatively rate it actually
>>2199076ackshully he was as negative as you're allowed to be in a sponsered video
>>2199066I think EU3 was the first Paradox game to introduce them in some dlc. But they were randomized like estate agendas n 4. I have a memory of save scrumming as an 11 year old trying to get the vassalize Scotland one as England.
>>2199076It was a very negative review, it might be hard to tell for someone who doesn't watch him frequently. But as an ISP loremaster, he utterly despised it and wanted to like it.
can merchant republics build trade posts in other countries and subsequently get claims and take over said ports
>>2199082>as an ISP loremasterthere are videos of homosexual gangbangs that aren't as gay as this
>>2199082>self-admitted proud eceleb worshipperlmao, kys
>>2199074why are you thinking about suicide that much anon? is everything okay?
>>2199074Hai desu!~
no you see in this video he said it was scoobylicious and in this other video he said it was down right re-chonkulous so we can determine he didn't like itt. isp loremaster
so are nations with "flavor" just straight up more powerful by default than the ones without it?
Has anyone said anything about how non-landed countries become actual countries?
>>2199094Yes, welcome to Paradox games.
>>2199082>But as an ISP loremasterCan you explain the "gravy Timmy's" thing? I've always wanted to know where that came from
paradox gamers when the flavor event actually gives them a debuff instead of a positive modifier
>>2199098I look like that
new when
>>2199097Its a meme that evolved to what it is, combination of 2 different memes like gravy babies(which he was ironically using to make fun of another person) and lil timmy. He states the exact origin in one of his A-Z videos
>>2199095I'd like to know too, I heard offhandledly that they can vassalize countries but not conquer land directly but I'm sure there's a way to become a normal country somehow.
>>2199095you can vassalize landed nations so I assume integrating those is a way
>>2199099the number is red, time to make another one, clearly there are still non eu5 threads on the board and this is an issue
>Enter thread>no leakExiting thread
do you get anything for preordering?

Why do all youtubers make those stupid faces in the thumbnail?>it helps the algorithmHow? No one is more likely to click on a video because some retard is gurning on it.
Is it incredibly retarded to play the maya first?Otherwise I was going to go for a romouva lithuania
>>2199135you literally did notice it
>>2199135You are overestimating the average normalfag
>>2199135but it makes youtube more likely to push it onto peoples front page
>>2199060A chicken notices that the farmer continues to arrive and feed it everyday. One day, the farmer comes in and breaks its neck. Just because something happens repeatedly, doesn't necessarily mean it will always occur. We have significant reason to believe the game will be good. Like if the chicken noticed another being killed beforehand.
>>2199060You can blob. AI can't.
I feel like i should do a wc in EU4 before switching since i've never done it, what country is the most retarded easy and fast to do it with?

The positives>The granularity is wonderful, the crunchiness supreme. The overall inter-connectivity of systems feels really good.>The goods system, mechanically, is really nice. Both streamlined and crunchy, it seems like they hit a good balance.>Having 1 dogturd ruler doesn't sandbag your entire run like it can in eu5. I think they did a good job modeling the effect of a monarch.>The cabinet system seems really cool, and I hope it gets some more love. Characters within cabinet seem rather inert ATM, when IRL a strong presence in a cabinet could steer the executive just as much as the executive could steer cabinet.The shit>Exploititive and illogical the Parliament system is.... you get to enact law changes, temp tax bumps and CB fabrications even if the debate fails. In fact, sometime you want the debate to fail bc it givse a bonus you rather have. So seems like the meta is to pick the Debate with the highest initial support, give out Agendas that arent complete crap, then drain the support number in order to pass a Request like changing a Law or taxes or getting a CB. This seems counterintuitive to what a Debate should do...if you want the bonsues of the Requests you should need the Debate to pass>Imbalanced as heck in some areas, but nothing that can't be addressed just by changing some numbers.>The AI overall seems kinda weak and not really tapping into the longer gameplay loop.>The sim-i-ness of the economy is lower than I’d like. Lots of magic money flying around when it comes to pops. >Provinces only having 1 good is kinda silly. The granularity makes up for it a little bit, but, especially, in India and China, 500k folks in a place that ONLY produces legumes seems kinda silly.I'm gonna wait and see before buying, personally. A year from now, it might be amazing.
>>2199152>>Exploititive and illogical the Parliament systemYeah, not looking forward to a dozen guides on the parliament meta.
>>2199152>A year from now, it might be amazing.yes just like how ck3 is with all the objectively bad dlc its gotten and who could forget the vic3 masterpiece
>>2199152>>Provinces only having 1 good is kinda silly. The granularity makes up for it a little bit, but, especially, in India and China, 500k folks in a place that ONLY produces legumes seems kinda silly.Welcome back, Victoria 2.
>>2199153I like how half the streamers claim you just farm parliament for CBs, and the other half say you should never use it for CBs.
>>2199152It does feel like the game will change completely in a year or so, I can't say whether it will be good or not but some of these systems are fundamentally retarded and just begging for a major rework.
>>2199153I really hope estates have less of a mandatory set up. It always annoyed me in EU4 having to do nearly the same thing with them every time.
>>2199135first time on the internet, newfriend?
>>2199157This is a sign of the game's quality. There isn't a true singular best way.
I'm going to make a youtube channel called SnakekbiteStrategy and every thumbnail is just gonna be this guy.

>>2199167I would watch you anon

>>2199170THE PENISCLOSES
>>2199168Because hates you, hates the game and wants it to flop.
I can't wait to flush EU4 down the toilet where it belongs. I don't know if EU5 is going to be good or not, but I fucking know EU4 isn't.

From watching the various content creators, it seems to me that for autists this game is great. For brainlets that automate everything, the game sucks and/or is uninteresting/easy.
>>2198094Optimism is creeping in. But I will only buy it after work on Friday at earliest. If /vst/ loves it and reddit hates it I'll even buy the premium edition
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkzCLt2_miE&t=1455
>>2199183Quarbit randomly got black people teleported into his norway so reddit is going to love it
>>2199185As slaves at least?
>>2198051The roman empire. The real one, not the larp ones
>>2199188Brazil?
>>2199187Yeah but they immediatly started chimping out
>>2199168so they can release a patch on the same day and try to fix the game by the weekend

Errrm fellas, should I buy the base game or the premium edition?
>>2199209you should buy a rope
>>2199209both, one of eachand make sure to use Clio Aite's referral link and code
>>2199209you shouldn't buy it at all
>>2199209please buy Victoria 3 instead, it's so much better than johan's slop
>>2199184I feel like anyone who isn't autistic could already read that between the lines. At least he says it straight.
>>2199214you are comparing piss to shit
>>2199207yes unless they've changed that
>>2199209buy base(d) edition and pirate all the dlc
>>2199211huh? to use quarbit's referral link? sure thing.
It seems like this game was made for autists who want to do everything manually.Playing with everything automated actively ruins the game for yourself, if the issue is that there's nothing to do in game.
>>2199135>No one is more likely to click on a video because some retard is gurning on it.

Vicky 3 is officially better than EU5 according to Bokoen1.
>>2199227he should go easy on mcdonalds if he is struggling financially
>Vic3>Being better than anything
>>2199234>Bokoen1So this confirms EU5 is the greatest GSG ever made?
>>2199234grim
can I just refund the preorder and redo it? realizing now that parajew deserves less money
>>2199234Vicky 3 isn't a good game so what does that say about EU5
>>2199214Victoria 3 is a clicker/incremental game.
>>2199231watching a FtM tranny vtuber would still be less gay than watching a (((male vtuber)))
>>2199227Isn't he a commie? Why would he need money from filthy capitalists?
>>2199242That its good, since he actively likes Vic3
>>2199135Hard data proves you wrong and unfortunately for you, there's reasonable reasons why it works. That retard face encodes information in a way that our retard monkey brain immediately deciphers. We know instinctively what the video is about when we see the face. What an actual drooling retard does is look down on what works instead of seriously asking how it works.
>>2199244genuinely who the fuck watches male vtubers? even female vtuber fans watch female vtubers
>>2199239>>2199242It seems that EU5 multiplayer is just flawed with 10 people. Game has to run at 3 speed because someone is always at war, and speeds 4 and 5 are too fast due to war being hour based, but everything else in the game when not at war takes months to years.
>>2199244Don't like her voice, also i like quarbit's anbennar content so...
>>2199231xhe sounds like a 60 yo granny desu
>>2199234I don't care about what soi4fags think.
Everyone in this bokoen guy stream should be skinned alive
>>2199251you give off chill pedophile vibes like you lowkey like kids but you went to therapy and got impulse control so you would never hurt one if you know what i mean. im a pedophile too and it makes me happy when i read your comments cuz it feels like i can participate on this platofrm too. good on you bro thank you so much
>>2199245its a requirement to become a college teacher in america
>>2199246>he actively likes Vic3Fucking how?
>>2199255Honestly? Based!
>>2199253iirc clio is like 40
Which EU youtuber is the poorest, so I can buy the game using his code?I'm in the mood for some good ol' Christian charity.
>>2199234i hate that guys faggy videos and his faggy screaming friends.it's like when i get exposed to modern tiktok slop and im just like who watches this shit? its just entirely unpleasant
>>2199258No clue probably the friendslop aspect of it, he liked release Vic3 so that should be all that needs to be said about his opinion.
>>2199260>>2199253She is 38 and had throat cancer
>>2199261*Declares war on you because your christianity is slightly different*
>>2199258He likes it more than EU5 because you at least do something in Vicky3.

>>2199250I guess the question is, how many people actually play with more than at most 2-3 friends?
dont support bad products, be a good capitalist

>>2199267>hollowbeing not even listed
>>2199273Good capitalists just consume.
>>2199261me. you should buy a second copy of the game and mail me the steam code
>can't add to cart because the site is fucked right nowThis is a sign to not buy I suppose
>>2199273>mfw I say this and then consoom a rushed dysfunctional game day 1
>>21991351. thats a very funny image anon2. it does work unfortunately3. i hate it too, usually i dont even notice it because its the water we swim in these days, but other times it almost makes me feel ill lol there's something so debased and abject about it
I already have a few ideas of playthroughs for when I get my hands on EU5.- Naples —> Italy, try to colonize Libya and East Africa (This will probably be the first ever playthrough I try.)- UK, try to get historical empire- Spain, try to get historical empire- Brandenburg —> Prussia —> Germany- UK —> USA- Japan- lowland minor —> Belgium
>>2199268>robmanian thinks he's based
>>2199289For me it's enslaving all of Kyiv!
>>2199284i remember in the early 2010s and just the idea of posting a selfie to social media made you look like a narcissistic sperg
it does start to feel like vicky 3 situation all over again
for me it's raiding, invading and occupying india until famine and disease depopulate the entire subcontinent. sorry saars!
>>2199293yea ive been on this site since roughly 2008 trust me i know. its crazy how much shit has changed
>>2198553>A few weak early attempts at doing fantasy mods. I hope we get a kino LOTR mod, will be a lot better than any eu4 attempt thanks to pops
I want this game to have religious/cultural reformation of ck3 so i could get the ability to take slaves. This is much more important for me than historical simulation.
>>2199284>>2199293>>2199296nowadays people think you're weird if you don't have social media and don't use your real name online
>>2199297I'm going to play Arnor with like 20 people in it
I want to preorder EU5 and the new hoi dlc but paradox's website literally just doesn't work.I've asked for 3 password resets and none have come through after multiple hours.I guess they also don't have any web qa either
>>2198737Bokoen1 likes anime, Vic3, and click. You know he has the most reddit, vanilla opinion ever created to man and when presented with a game that actually requires you to engage with it, he simply can not wrap his head around it. He has automated everything and then complains he isnt doing anything. He states the game has no flavour but shilled vic3 at launch, thats really crazy!
>>2198221I embody the minimum settings. Graphics don't concern me too much I can just switch to paper map, but I hope the game speed doesn't slow down too hard in the late game.
>>2199308Calm down ISP.
>>2199308well he can't just say paradox paid him to shill their shitty dicktoria 3 game
>>2199266>you at least do something in Vicky3like what? click a plus sign on lumber mills?
>>2198323Struggling to survive as a literally who minor is the best (most FUN) way to learn a paradox game.
>>2199315I feel its the opposite because once you can win as a minor nation the big nations feel way too easy and boring.
>>2199256My sides
>>2198737>>2198739Can we take back the Grand Strategy Games Enthusiast card from HOI babies? They're clearly too retarded to enjoy the complexity and depth of a real grand strategy game. Their ADHD brain can't handle more than 20 years of gameplay.
>>2198737>>2198739Bokoen1 is a canary in a coal mine, EU5 is very obviously going to be a disaster
>>2198490gay
>>2198485Anon the whole new world + aus is colonised. They just have weird names because colonial vassals seem to use the name of the random minor local town that was picked as their capital.
Death to all e-celebs
hoi4 is a good gameEU5 looks like a good gameIf you're going to farm replies stop being so shit at it
Holy shit, I finally found it on the secret discord
>>2198568>French AustraliaI don't want to live in this timeline
People are speculating that the next big game after EU5 is hoi5 but I disagree, I think its going to be a sleeper hit like East vs West or March of the Eagles 2
>>2199330Post nose
>>2199330Props for the effort you put into the bit
>>2199329people said the same thing about vicky 3 and look where that got us
>>2199336literally no one said that about vic 3The game was leaked months before release
>retards ITT still believe vicky 3 is a bad gameahahaha you lost
>>2199338fuck off Wiz
vicky 3 lost
>>2199330Who cares enough to collect 600gb of sissy hypno?
>>2199337You're trying to rewrite history now. It will not work.
>>2199336>people said the same thing about vicky 3Lol, lmao evenNo one ever said that. We all made fun of wiz and his shitty non-game, especially the lack of toy soldier kino
Vic3 will never be good
>>2199343literally just check the archives in the leak threadsuntil you do no more replies
>>2198607My guess is that disease (hopefully) makes inland africa colonies non-profitable or outright detrimental to hold, but the colonization AI isn't smart enough to recognise that and basically amounts to>if you have spare resources: grab more land
>>2198903>this is supposedly "very hard" difficultyVery hard player difficulty or very hard AI difficulty? The former gives +50% to levy cost for the player, the latter gives various big boosts to the AI.
>>2199234Multiplayer is irrelevant
Neither will EU5.
>>2198064Forgot to mention I'm trans, if that matters.
>>2199349Very hard AIDidn't see him change player difficulty
>>2199346>>2199352These are both true statements.
>>2199346it was always good>B-BUT MUH TOY SOLDIERS ON THE MAPvicky2 babby
>>2199348Supposedly the malaria debuff is absolutely brutal, and the AI african nations basically genocide themselves building colonial empires
I guess I have nothing else to do but form the Mongol Empire in EU4.
My main concern is performance. It took multiple people, what, ten, twenty hours to reach 1400? Part of the reason why ISP quit is that the game was so slow and he already won at that point. EU4 is more bearable in this regard, since everyone quits when the main content is already over: colonization and religious wars (if in Europe).Chances are most people will tap out before the Reformation hits.>>2199332It will probably be Stellaris 2.
NOOOOO WHERE ARE MY TOY SOLDIERS
Engoodening of Europa Universalis V
>>2199359I will literally murder John for creating mission trees
>>2199344Even in the leak people were going on about how everything will be fixed by release. Literally the same story is unfolding before our eyes. Game is praised to high heaven and then when people actually get the play the finished product it turns out there's actually nothing to do in the game.
Uhoh bokoen melty
>>2199354Go to bed, clio.
Wiz wonVic3 WonBokoen1 WonKyiv WonJotran lostEU5 lost/incel/ lostRussia lost
/gsg/ spergs equating eu5 to victoria3 is a weird gaslighting effort considering there are people streaming it right now and countless 2+ hour long videos showcasing the game, as well as years of dev diaries and tinto talks posts where the devs have been showing their entire asshole and leaving nothing about the game. So I can see that it's a more complete game than victoria 3 with my own eyes.
>>2199365Nah no one said that, it got clowned on just like EU4 and Imperator were, rightfully, made fun of due to their mana >>2199369It's early morning in aussie land I think
>>2199371yes, correct, yes, yep, based>Russia lostNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>2199371Why are you niggers like that?
REMINDER THAT VIC2 LOST
>>2199373agreed i have no idea how vic3 ck3 imperator can be a bad game with all these shills shilling
>>2199380DONT POST THAT
/gsg/sissies and wiztroons both get the rope.
Is there a generic non-dynastic China tag for Republican China / Lategame China?

>>2199381Are you incapable of watching gameplay of a game and forming your own judgement on what you see on the screen independent of what the person playing is saying?
can you tell how many desyncs have occured so far amongst these potty-mouths?
Reminder that if EUV flops, Paradox goes under
>>2199380Vic2 would be in the millions if it counted pirated spic games>T. Spic who pirated Vic2
>>2199384Closest is probably Lanfang
I literally said those exact words when those other games came out
>>2199373Yeah, vic3 leaks had big ass concerns about military and economy, which is very difficult to change as core gameplay Eu5 has none of that, the current big issues are performance and passive AIs
the game looks wonderfulremember when ck2 come out how pretty it wasit will be a good launch
>>2199388So either we get a good game or paradox dies? That's the definition of win-win
>>2199390That's gay. It's just bizarre to end up with "The Ming/Qing/Yuan/Shun Republic" or whatever.
>>2199363I don't like them either and am glad they are gone in 5. But I'll cherish them for the moment as they allow me to easily dominate the World before 5 releases. One last shitty EU4 campaign before I am released.
>>2199387>>2199387>>2199387>>2199387pls respond
What countries do BETTER MEN play as?
>>2199399Kyiv
>>2199399cucked germany
bros I am so fucking hype for this mobile game
>>2199395Doesn't Ming just turn into Revolutionary China in EU4? I imagine it's similar here, though might be expanded to republics as a whole. If we are lucky revolutionary China will have a non-tricolour flag too
anything that isn't a typical tier i or ii power they are familiar with from eu4 gets a pass
>>2199399Real men choose a random irrelevant province and rename it to "[name]ia" and ignore all history
>>2199403Yeah, if it's a Revolutionary Republic, otherwise it's just Ming with a Republic government.
>>2199399Ropeia Which you should seek asap
>>2199399Marocco
>>2199399An australian minor
this game just looks like victoria 3. looks like shit zzzz
>>2199399France, ally with the Ottomans just like in real life and make sure to regularly invite settlers from Maghreb.
Why do I feel like every single thread is just going to be filled with shitty immigration memes?
>>2199399We must become better men and not buy the game.
>>2198268I'm going to play portugal and bleach your brown ancestors.
>>2199419Irrelevant, as you aren't required to buy the game to play it
the game looks wonderful, the people playing it not so muchparadox really fixed the ai and the desyncs within a week?johan must have angels watching over
>>2198375naked ladies through a changing room peephole
>>2199207You can.t.saw itSelling too many depresses prices quite a lot though.
>>2199425>paradox really fixed the ai and the desyncs within a week?Bo's stream is currently at 7 desyncs and 9 crashes in 5 hours. Arumba also crashed several times today.
>>2198439yapanese
It's literally just shittier Vicky 3 but they brought back muh toy soldiers. That's it.
>>2199417Because it has been like that for a while. The vermin belong back into their containment thread

>>2199433but the streamer say it good
>>219943575 years of propaganda left the germans as the perfect npcs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkzCLt2_miEVery good review. The launch will obviously be mixed, but I'm hyped and ready to sink a lot of time into it.
>>2199360You can easily reach 1400 in 10 hours.
>>2199438depends on which streamer

He also explicitly said that while the last version they were given had plenty of crashes, the current one they were playing had none.Bokoen is playing MP which is why he's getting raped by crashes and desyncing.

>>2199454You have to intentionally landlock yourself as an indonesian minor for the authentic experience

>>2199413aboriginals literally did not have countries. they didn't even reach a level of organization to be considered as societies of pops
>>2199460Paradox didn't have to fucking soft lock your account with a catch 22 retard and they don't even have to delete your data in the first place.As long as they give you the option to delete your data, and they have reason to maintain it they can keep it indefinitely.
>>2198866I'm trans btw
>>2199461Was it an ethnic or environmental issue?
>>2199468Purely socioeconomic factors
>>2199435>game is super deep and complexWe won so hard>bugs and performance issues Easily fixable by patches
>>2199465Yes they do they need to give probable reason that they require the data to provide a service.An account being inactive for years upon years is enough cause for deletion.The EU is perfectly willing to skullfuck them if they do not comply.Now it is quite possible that they either send you an email at some point informing you of your accounts inactivity being an issue in the near future or the account technically only being archived and slated for deletion.
>>2199477Except they don't actually delete your account, dumbass, that's the problem.They stick it in an inactive state that prevents you from creating a new account with that email and prevents you from being able to reactivate your account
>"DON'T CARE, I AM HAVING A BLAST"THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF JOHANFAGSCOME HOME WHITE MAN, VIC3 IS GOOD
EU5 is a return to farm though
>>2199481You will never be a woman, wiz. You will always be a 4th rate "game developer" that turns everything he touches to shit.
>>2199479Which still means it is slated for deletion.And it also means you can still reactivate it and I'm also willing to bet that they sent a notification before that happened.They can't choose not to do this without breaching GDPR obligations.
>>2199481>VIC3 IS GOODNice one.
Will EU5 to Vic3 transitions even be possible or will it leave the map mutilated?
>>2199457The meme that vtubers are men using a voice changer is a soi reddit meme that is falsifiable as firstly voice changes aren't that good yet, secondly vtubers are constantly being doxed, and thirdly most of them also have some form of irl content or irl streaming background that they hide for kayfabe but is easy to find. If you see a female vtuber with a female voice there's a 99% chance it's actually a woman
bokoen is losing it
>>2199468I grew up in Australia and I don't really have a "political" opinion about their situation. I respect that they survived there for so long (a LONG time) but they really are about as close to cavemen as possible, with the exception of those isolated tribes in the Indian ocean. So what you have is they really just want to get back to their pre civilization state that's been somewhat forced on them (for good reasons). They just don't have the ambition and statehood that other races (cultures?) have.
>>2199468australlia doesnt have human hunting predators (like panthers or wolfs) or real seasons. Many humans became dumber after settling on an island, like hobbits, homo-floresiensis
>>2199481commie propaganda pretending to be a videogame
>>2199490>The meme that vtubers are men using a voice changerIt literally only appeared after dozens of vtubers were doxed and all turned out to be men. Sure, if your vtubergf is some bigshot then there's a good chance that she's a real female crackhead instead of a male one, but plenty of the indie ones are men.
>>2199494This is why everything in Vic3 ends up failing spectacularly at one point or the other.
>>2199495>dozensName 2
>>2199498I can't because I don't watch vtubers. What I'm talking about happened like 5 years ago anyways.
>>2199493yeah the most conducive environment for civilization is warm summers with fertile soil but also cold winters to avoid complacency
>>2199485I've literally already posted the text of their forums. They don't delete inactive accounts, they deactivate them. They also don't give you any kind of notification when this happens or any option to reverse this.You can't log in to your account, the only way to reactivate your account is via the help desk and the only way to open a ticket is if you have an account.It's retarded, and I have no idea why you feel the need to speak authoritatively on the subject while being totally incorrect and not reading anything I've posted
>>2199479To quote an inspection by the french data protection authority:>With regard to the specific case of the retention of data related to a user account created on a website, they may in principle be kept until the account is deleted.>However, it is common for users to no longer use these accounts without deleting them, which means that they persist indefinitely.>In this case, the principle of limited retention of personal data requires the controller to determine a reasonable of time at the end of which, if he account has not been subject of any activity on the art of the user, it must be considered inactive and must be deleted, along with the personal data related to it.PDX doesn't get to choose.
>>2199504In the case of a storefront where the account is a record of access which is rarely used, a "reasonable time" is a typical human lifetime
>>2199501You're thinking of the Nora Cat gif. There wasn't a sudden mass doxxing event of vtubers 5 years ago that revealed they were all men causing some big controversy. You have no other examples because there aren't any
>>2199502winter probably helps but the river theory is the most consistent
>>2199509Tell the EU that
>>2199513The EU doesn't give any kind of requirements for what constitutes a "reasonable time" dumbass
I saw a Mali play through and it's kind of shit how it can balloon so hard, where are the massive food shortages, and most importantly the African low iq modifier?
>Spent so much time thinking about EU5 that when I opened my PC I tried to play it before releasing it wasn't out.Am I too brainrotted?
>>2199491Ungrateful bastard gets early access and shits on the game. I hope Johan permanently blacklists these nerds.
>>2199510>sudden mass doxxing eventI never said there was.

To the surprise of nobody, HOI4tards are struggling with the game.
I don't understand how there is an overlap between people who watch vtubers unironically and also like eu5. Bizarre and shouldn't be happening.

>>2199533Why does this mf look mesoamerican?
>>2199512it's actually interesting because the Mediterranean and etc definitely did not have winter like northern europe. I wonder though in the long run the dominance of northern europe was in part due to the cultures constructed around avoiding exile from around the fire in winter.

>>2199609>barely any bordergoreAs long as you don't let your eyes wander across the atlantic.Though that aside this honestly looks like a pretty nice middle ground between the nothing ever happens of EU5 and the 3-state Europe of current EU4.
Thread is too fast. I would like seven of you to leave.
>>2199623If EU5 tuned up AI aggressiveness AND made internal stability harder to manage I think it would be way better
>>2199626>tuned up AI aggressiveness AND made internal stability harder to managepick one
The truth about "border gore" that nobody will ever accept is that the more provinces there are the more border gore there is. You would need to return to EU3 level province density.
>>2199627I'd make it even more unstableAt least then it would limit the player
>>2199626They did that earlier today I believe
>>2199628Large provinces are absoluely capable of border gore, unless you're talking about risk tier province sizes
>>2199626>AND made internal stability harderthis nigga wants even more civil warspoint and laugh at him
>>2199631EU3 tier would be the middle ground.You simply can't have EU5 size ones without gote.
>>2199626I think they just need to add character ambitions so they have goals towards consolidating within an area
>>2199634I don't like the thought of having everything be led by rulers. Have it so parliament gives claims.
>>2199188Based Russia enjoyer
>>2199628Bordergore is historically accurate
>>2199639>havd you ever zoomed in on the belgian dutch border tee heewe're talking about florentine ubangi-shari anon
>>2199628>You would need to return to EU3 level province densityEvery single screenshot you guys post of that game has horrendous border gore
>>2199628It's so obvious that you've never played EU3.
>>2199256new pasta
>>2199639Yeah I was about to post thisIt wasn't until the modern era (Napoleon desu) that maps began to look "neat" in practice. Cartographers may have 'simplified' them in their illustrations but during the medieval and early modern periods (EU5) the personal holdings of any King or Duke could be extremely "unclean" especially when you consider that in reality a lot of those borders were "soft" and more like guidelines.It really worked out to like I collect taxes from that castle but the castle on the other side of the hill stopped paying me taxes and I'm pretty sure he's paying the Kaisar taxes but I can't prove it and even if they were I can't be assed to ask Parliament to raise an army for me (and I also dont even know where these places physically exist lol I just know there's some place called DickButt Castle and they didn't show up to my christmas party)
>>2199641>>2199643Yeah, EU5 is much worse than this. See China in the timelapses.
>>2199647Yeah but nobody cares about China.
>>2199645Borders not being borders is the most reddit-antifa meme in the world.Do you REALLY think kings, who employed tax keepers/baliffs just wouldn't care whether shittenstein was their land or not?
>>2199643kids these days don't appreciate the glorious Bohemian snake
>>2199648See Russia then. Sorry, gross keev.
>>2199651I still don't get how this happened every single game.
>>2199649Firstly they had no way of knowing who was in their land. This is a world before identification and passports were issued only on boatsSecondly there is nothing the King could do about it and no I don't think he really cared.Warefare at that time was totally different than in the ancient or modern eras. You can read the Henriad for an idea of how it went.Thirdly the Kings didn't spend any time looking at world maps like paradox gamers do, so yeah really I don't think they cared at all.
>>2199652But that's how it was back then. You're gonna complain that the HRE has border gore next?
>>2199654You realize the reason they listed all their titles was so people would know their titles, right? They wouldn't just say "oh actually i guess he's not baron of scheinstitschausen becauss uhhhh guess not lmao"
>>2199659In 1830 Russia looked like this? >>2198178
>>2199660Yeah, and another reason they had to list all those titles is because they're all over Europe in disconnected places most people have at most a vague idea of where they even were in the first place.Like I said no one was just staring at a map dreaming of filling in borders like they in paradox games.
>>2199629I'm inclined this way too but we know the AI already shits itself as is. I'd be inclined to make internal stability harder for the player but give AI cheats so it can be on par. historical AI that is player level without cheats is a pipe dream
reminder that the principality of kevin was in a complete turmoil and getting raided a lot.in 1362, just 25 years from the start date, a lithuanian would come into power.from then on, it was over
>>2199662That is due to buffs given to a certain other tag
>>2199663It's insane to me that you believe feudalism, the entire socio-political movement that ruled europe from Charlemagne to the peace of Westphalia PRECISELY to maintain the land rights of the nobility actually didn't care about the land rights of nobility at all.They were claiming backwater swamps for no other reason than they didn't want others to have it.
>>2199654>This is a world before identification and passports were issuedThis is just patently untrue. Russia and the pre russian states were extremely controlling about internal immigration
>>2199667Why did Kevin let a Lithuanian into his house? He should've known never to trust a Balt.
>>2199668To learn who rules over you simply think who you're not allowed to criticize.Jochid nobles.
>>2199662That's just AI incompetence. Golden Horde should not even exist.
>People post goi4 timelapses of Germany losing every game by 1944>*crickets*>People post EU5 timelapses where something different happens every time>Anger because their favorite irrelevant country didn't conquer the world for 2 years before imploding like in their s0ience based history books
A Kiev to Rus' game could be fun desu.Just make sure you accept your Muscovite brothers!
>>2199680>People post goi4 timelapses of Germany losing every game by 1944This is what happened doe unfortunately>People post EU5 timelapses where something different happens every timeThe timelapses don't actually look that different is the thing. It's just 1337 with very small changes
>>2199667idk why you guys let kiyv live rent free in your head both Halych and Volhynia disappear like 7 years after the game start as well, who cares
>>2199682>unfortunatelyHitler let the Rothschilds go. He was firmly in the hands of capital.
EU5 AI is gimped because of Redditors. The EU4 subreddit constantly complains about how powerful the AI nations are, how hard they blob, and how stable they are. This is why EU5 AI nations are none of these
>>2199678The Golden Horde seems to explode in the newer patch more often than not
>>2199680HoI4 is specifically programmed to follow history as the narrative of the war is too important not to depict. Not saying EU5 needs it, but they went out of their way to do this for HoI4.
>>2199683>idk why you guys let kiyv live rent free in your headbuffed because a virtue signaling youtuber begged johan on the forums to buff itit's also one of the constants that survive and expand in the timelapses
cant wait for these threads to go back to normal
>>2199684I have heard about this but haven't really considered if letting that guy go free really was or wasn't that significant. With hindsight I don't think Hitler should have started the war at all and just built up for a soviet chimp out. But a lot of people make the point that the nazis probably needed the war to survive politically and consolidate.
>>2199687Beautiful, I'm aroused Two Kazans is interesting
>>2199685well they're not wrong, have you seen late game ottomans?
>>2199687>>>kyiiv still around
>>2199687Does Golden Horde start the game in any kind of disaster like how Yuan does?
>>2199690They won't be normal for two more weeks.
>>2199694there are 2 crimeas too
>>2199687The problem will now be that Muscovy and Novogorod are retarded and will simply ally the steppe minors until 1837
>>2199697none of the AI in that area have blobbed, your point?
>>2199697At least Lithuania seems to be doing a bit better. Just a bit more strength and they'll be able to conquer it.
>>2199701Reminds me of how AI Ottomans in EU4 always ally Aq Quyonlu and block themselves off from Middle East expansion as a result
Leaning more towards not buying again.The map of other countries just looks terrible constantly. What's the point in forming a big colonial European empire if there's no China to sell opium to at the end of the game?
>>2199705it is honestly astounding to me that major power candidate countries are allowed to ally anyone in AT LEAST their historical region
>>2199698No, but one can be triggered if their horde unity gets too low
>>2199706>implying you will ever reach the end game
The Golden Horde collapsed becauss they ran out of hot Slavic sluts.

>>2199746to be fair, this actually happened in Poland once
I will not play this game until we get a graphic mod that makes the map look less ugly. I hate it. It looks so ugly and beige and brand. Give me something like the Graphic Improvements Mod.
>>2199753The 2d map looks based but none of the basedtubers will use it.
>bavarian hated the game due to how buggy everything isIts...over...
>>2199747I read something about how he's probably gonna stop making videos after this because it's not making money, so maybe he's going all out to try and reap the EU5 release money while he can.
>>2199756He said he loved it, but that it’s still buggy and unpolished.
>no natives mod>1444 start mod>HRE simplification mod>building simplification mod>less trade goods mod>multiplayer balance mod
>>2199763just needs a "make the game not run like shit" mod
>>2199763A 1444 mod won't be good until years after game release. By then Paradox honestly may have ended up adding it as a new feature. Simplifying everything is also dumb but I guess it is expected of a multiplayerfag. You can automate all of the stuff that is too complex btw.
>>2199763>no natives modThey're already not there though? The new world outside of the Aztecs and Incas is empty, no more 100k troop count federations making AI colonization impossible

>>2199817It's barely playable now. For the first two years of its life it was cancer.
>>2199491General rule of thumb seems to be soi4 guys hate it, eu4 chads love it? Optimistic if that's the case
>>2199793>>2199804>>21998091. I don't know how, and there are no retard proof guides.2. I don't want to deal with jank like mods not working and updates breaking everything.3. I don't want to download malware, bitcoin miners, or keyloggers. My computer cost a lot of money and I don't want it ruined over $20 of dlc.4. I don't want my steam account banned. I'm sunk cost fallacied into it now, there's hundreds of dollars I wouldn't get back if it was banned.
>>2199839Bokoen also liked Vicky 3 so it's hard to base it on that alone but the gameplay looked grim

>>2198533Pathetic wagie slave.
>>2199844Are the eu4 guys also sayings it bad then? Grim. Either way, I am waiting until its been out a few days at least before I think about buying it. I've been burned by enough paradox releases in the last few years to finally learn my lesson
>>2199853Eu4fags aren't chads. They're retarded blobbers whose idea of complex mechanics are clicking develop province when their mana fills up.EU4fags HATE EU5 because they actually have to do things instead of blobbing, which is all there is to do in their meme game.
>>2199855yeah instead of clicking one button to dev up you now click one button to make a building and then sit on your ass for decades because conquest is pointless incredible
>>2199853NTA eu4 fans are pretty optimistic and pleased with eu5, the only dooming about the game can be exclusively found on the niche basket weaving forum
>>2199856Sounds like a better game to me desu
>>2199855>Eu4fags aren't chads
>>2199831I prefer to stare at a pretty foid face than an ugly moid face. Sorry buddy
>>2199859sounds like no game at all, it's just cookie clicker like vicky 3except now you play as a tiny shithole instead of a great power
>>2199763what the fuck is going on with this retarded 1444 obsession?why are you gay?
>>2199855EU4fags are the only chads left in map gaming, except Vic2fags in the memory care home and Darkest Hour skeletons rattling in their graves.CK3 is gay, Vic3 is gay and lame, HoI4 is lame. There are no heroes left in man. EU is the last great white hope of the grand strategy genre.
Reminder in case anybody forgot: I won't be buying EU5 until somebody makes the first high fantasy total conversion mod, then I will play that. Thanks for listening
>>2199639Only in Germany and that's because the whole thing was inside the framework of the HRE, which, technically, was the same thing.

>>2199954>Why do they put 3d models in their games?3d is newer so it's more good.You're not a luddite chud, are you?
>>2199954>CountersYou mean portraits?
>>2199956No, I mean these little squares. They're based on physical little chits used in large scale wargames.
AI doesn't know how to bunch up an army. They just throw 500 guys at a time at the players doomstack.
>>2199958You want your king to be an infantry symbol?
>>2199960Yeah
>>2199910hey shoe
>>2199954i think it might be because they already have this internal tool for generating the 3d characters. so when they are developing new games they just use it as placeholder to make the prototype feel a bit more polished. then development runs along and no plans to remove or change it ever come up so it just stays
>>2199954Because it looks cool. I like seeing visual examples of my rulers, helps me get more attached to them and larp better
For the past few days I've been dreaming about playing EU5, and it sucks every time. I'm getting seriously worried.
>>2199689Why aren't you complaining about Halych? Low IQ chud kek. There's like 100 tags that stay around and should be gone historically.
I am a little concerned at how long hourly ticks drag out the game. If it takes 60+ hours to do one campaign that's a little insane, and may be outright unworkable for something like multiplayer.
>>2199969oh no my multiplayerino
>>2199969They'll just add better speed controls and call it a day, the problem is that the game runs too well in speed 5, at least on all the streamer PCs.
>>2199958>>2199954Agreed. The giant soldiers look so stupid. Can't imagine the type of person who enjoys looking at a cartoony out-of-scale medieval soldier walking over smaller out of scale cities that all have a dozen buildings total. Always disable that shit in every game play.
I like the lil 3d army men
>>2199975I hate the 3D soldiers but in the games with them they're useful just to be able to see where the enemy army is heading at a glance
>>2199978Imagine if they put all the effort they did in the stupid toy soldiers into making the game look like period appropriate maps instead.
>>2199971my favorite way of playing eu4 was multiplayer. Making (and breaking) treaties with friends is great.
I fucking hate the ottoniggers and the roaches that simp for them, I hope they forever stay with a retarded AI.
>>2199982>period appropriateuh, so super incorrect?
I fucking hate the byzantines and the redditors that simp for them, I hope they forever stay with a retarded AI.
>>2199981Only people who whine about 3d sprites are those with shit GPUs.
Varna would have been the best start date. Alternatively, 1370 starting with Timur’s rise.
>>2199991Best start would have been 1453 after the Byzantines wre dead.
>>2199986Turk roach is worst roach
>>21999911399 like in EU3 wouldn't have been badI do like earlier than 1444 for Varna alt-his but any earlier is a snoozefest
Gotta love how the mere existence of Romans causes barbarian seething in these threads.
*scratches belly*It will be good.
Rome is Eternal, your seethe doesn't needs to be.
>>2199996No, we love Rome. We hate Greek larpers.
EU5 will flop
fuck byzaboos
Built for BBC (Building-Based Countries)
>>2199985Yes.
>2200000Botted, kill yourself right now
Game's going to be dogshit. Only people hype for it are reddit consoomers who buy anything paradox shit out for them. AI is fucked, whole game is full of bugs, history is never simulated, it'll be DoA, shilled by a contingent of lost causers and then maybe fixed 3 years down the line.
ITS OVER
>>2200000cringe
>>2200000zased
/gsg/ lost.
>Be Roman>We love you!!!>Be Roman but in Nova Roma>We hate you!!!!Barbarians will always be smelly brown retards.
least polished game on arrival, pretty scary to hear imo
>>2200013Do you know what polished means?

>>Hohols seething at EU5pr shills live in the opposite of reality holy shit
its KIEV
i cant kyiv
>>2200017I agree. Thank god I only enjoy Romans though. Even Romans that stay in Nova Roma.
With this shitty company (and industry as a whole) the only thing you can hope for is to look at this game and determine if it has good foundations for the future. It clearly does. Let the autists beta test for a couple of months and then you can return to a good game.
change months to years and its a good psot
>>2200030>playing used goodsEnjoy your sloppy seconds while I conquer the world.
idc about the game or the time period. but, i think a cold war mod would be fun with these mechanics, especially IOs and the building based countries.
>1100 repliesI fear scrolling up
>>2200002kek, I don't know why this is so funny
>>2200000Frieren exclusively plays BBCs (Building Based Countries)
Where's the leak guys?
I just remembered how the "content creators" pushed the narrative that bigger countries will be very hard to play as there's too much going on in their videos on the early access version half a year ago. What happened to that narrative? It seems like those bigger countries have just as much going on about them as the smaller ones (nothing).
>>2200055Yeah I was surprised that no one uploaded the game
>>2198051I'll look at the map and play whoever I feel like it at the moment. Current thoughts if I could play right now? Probably Bulgaria. Kick Serbia's ass back to the middle ages, eat Byzantium, cuck the Ottomans, become the 69th Rome.Realistically get BTFO'd by a Serbia-Byz alliance and restart.
>>2198051Khmer, Vijayanagar, or Jalayirids. Probably Khmer.
is it over?
>>2198568>That Atlantic Coast >Whatever the fuck is happening in Siberia
>>2200012>Be Roman but in Nova Roma>We hate you!!!!Russians actually loved East Romans more than West Romans.
Ticking by hours instead of by day is retarded, if they wanted smaller subdivisions they could've done for half days or quarter days instead but simulating each hour for 550 years is just absurd.
>>2200085It doesn't simulate each hour, nights are skipped
>noo don't deadname me i'm roman not greek!!
>>2200085The ticks are purely for unit movements iirc. The economy simulation works on monthly (or is it weekly/daily?) ticks.
>>2200092economy works on 17hr ticks
>>2200095that's fucking retarded, why use such an irregular number
>>2200085>>2200086>>2200092>>2200095I'm worried, bros. I got a new PC recently, and I think I should've gotten an 8-core instead of 6-core CPU... I think I fucked up by getting the 9600 instead of the 7700...
>>2200097It's over, bro
>>2200097Skill issuet. 14 cores for more whores
>>2200098can't wait for this to run like how EU4 ran on my i5-4440 back in the day (bare minimum for speed 5 to be any faster than speed 4)>>2200099>modern Intelnobody has an Intel CPU newer than 12th Gen in their gaming PC unironically let's be real

>Ryzen is better for vidja gaymes>SIKE paradox titles are actually straightmes so Intel wins by having a bajillion threadshonestly, based
>>2200108It's so weird that intel and AMD swapped positions on the core thing. I remember when everyone made fun of AMD for having loads of shit cores.
>>2200109that was back when they tried marketing 3 core CPUs as 6 core because of some hardware technicality
>>2200110Intel literally does that
*laughs in 7800X3D*plebs.
>>2200109>I remember when everyone made fun of AMD for having loads of shit cores.AMD didn't even have true cores. They had something they called "modules".
Johan drop the download link already I just want to run a bunch of observer games and see what happens

Doesn't look that bad imo.
>>2200134>french hokkaidoYeah, no.
>>2200129you want to try a BBC (building based country)?
>>2200134It really seems like formable countries will never form unless you do it manually.
>>2200139maybe if you keep repeating the joke enough eventually someone might even find it funny
>>2200134>that Russia>that Britain>that China
I am personally extremely happy that the m*scovites remain the irrelevant backwater they always should have been
>>2200134the problem is that it seems like this is what happens every game with very little variation.
>>2200136I think that's Korea, they're slightly different shades of blue.
>>2200095most businesses today work on a 17 hour production/sale cycle. it just helps with the math to do it that way
What's the least biased review of the game so far?
OPB'splease use his discount code
>>2200134>no austria hungary>no PLC>no Ottomans>no GB>no Russia>no Portugal>no Japan>no unified Ming/Qing in China>hordes still alive>no unified power in Persia/IranI don't want to doompost bwos becaue the game looks really fun mechanics/gameplay-wise but what the FUCK is this map? Maybe I'm too used to EU4-isms that are themselves ahistorical, but this just looks ridiculous and not at all compatible with being ported over to Vicky 3.
every green line above a $20 expansion pack
>>2200153You mean the guy most people here shat on for months because he thinks vicky3 and CK3 are good?
>>2200156>no austria hungary>no PLCThere's no railroading to let them blob all over the map, and no real reason for them to inherit half of Europe like they did IRL
>>2200160it's kind of sad that AUH made him literally admit he had to reframe his framework of understanding crusader kings just to enjoy it
>>2200153>discountuhh they aren't discount codes, are they?
It's over.
>>2200170nah, they give 100% of the "discount" to creatorswhich is why you should give it to hollowbeing
>>2200164the paradox-glazer has finally been buckbroken? now if we can finally get him to admit that Vic3 is shit...
>>2200173
I hate OPB and Ludi because they take too long to get to the point of their videos. I hate Zlewwik because his accent is too silly and I can't decipher what the fuck he's saying half the time, I'm sorry Zlewwik I bet you're a cool guy otherwise. I LOVE Laith, Red Hawk, Playmaker, Chairman, Roo, etc. etc. etc. because their videos are edited to be watchable by real human people of year of our lord 2025 with attention spans just long enough to last a single clip before the next clip appears and grabs my attention once moreLemoncake and Student are also pretty good but more informative than gameplay focused.
>>2200174using a goycode perpetuates the cringe culture of devs giving e-celebs special treatment so no thanks. wouldn't use a code even if I really liked a "creator"
>>2200177I hate ludi because he's a fat grifter thief bastard who cheats in all his videos because he's shit at the game
>>2200177OPB is so annoying, he is the embodiment of the German nu-basedjak that has been haunting this country for the last 3 decadest. Kraut
>>2200178There's a handful of ecelebs who I want to get special treatmentHollow is the sort of retard who gets an Iraq DLC earlier and plays asyria despite them having no content and being one of the shittiest starts in the game
I'm thinking Siena.
>>2200179I find that less egregious than him wasting half the runtime with WOLOLOLO SCHTAKKENWIPENICUM and other retarded "jokes" so the 20 minute video only gets from 1444 to like 1465 when the title promises it's a brandenburg to prussia game, and then has the audacity to beg for X thousand likes to make a part 2 wehre he actually forms prussia, like just kill yourself man

>>2200190Serfdom is slav coded, which is explicitly non-white
>>2200190serfdom seems great
>>2200190Serfdom. That max tax and raw material is fucking BIG.I can switch to free when I have more money than I know what to do with.
>>2200190DecentralizedFree SubjectsInnovativeSpiritualistAristocracyCapital EconomyVGH finally, i can larp
>>2200193wtf I'm a honorary nigger?
>>2200190Isn't that description a little too biased?
>>2200199You and the irish
>>2200196peasants are too poor for their taxes to be worth much, especially if they're serfsThe prosperity would be amazing, but there's privilege you can give to the nobility which lets you ride 100% prosperity at all times even in areas where you have 0 control
>>2200200Yeah, maybe a little. But tying peasants to land and treating them like property isn't exactly treating them with the dignity of human beings
>>2200204>peasants are too poor for their taxes to be worth muchExcuse me?
Pretty sure Muscovy does fuck all because of the Rus alliance network. I watched a Lithuania video and Rus minors were in some type of mega alliance.
>>2200210mite b cool, I always wanted to make an agriculture focused nation in V3 that just exported raw materials
>>2200177most of them have bluesky accounts btw idk how you can play gsgs and be woke
>>2200210>peasants that richplaying the game wrong, btw
>>2200213A lot of pdx gamers are of the gay or trans variety somehow. The woke crowd. I would guess the spreadsheet nature of the genre just appeals to their base autistic instincts and they never rationalize what they're "actually" doing when they interact with basic game mechanics, like, you know, warfare and colonization.I'm pretty woke myself actually, I find it extremely hard to give a shit that people are gay or trans. The anti-woke crowd has too much free time and spare money to waste their energy on hating the LGHDTV mafia.
>>2200227I'm wearing thigh highs right now
>>2200223Basically only peasants and burghers paid tax. And it's at game start.
>>2200175He admits at the beginning of his review that what he wanted from CK3 has never come to pass and most likely never will. As a result, he's resolved to treat AUH and all subsequent DLC as glorified theme park rides and the game at large as a theme park.
There better be some loverslab mods for EU5, the characters look better than CK3 ones. This is clearly the perfect game for creating the sex slave trade good that will make you rich
>>2200236I hope some dedicated autist will eventually mod 3D fantasy races into the game. I wonder if blender models will be compatible.
>>2200233He enjoyed CK2 a lot right?
>>2200236Are the porn mods for CK3 even good in the first place?Or is it just naked people standing awkwardly next to each other + erp
>>2200239I think so? He brought up CK2 to illustrate that the theme park analogy works for that game, but he held fast to the belief that CK3 would be an opportunity to go past that and deliver a deep strategy and RPG experience. He's given up thinking that now.
>>2200240The latter.
>>2200242I really would not describe CK2 as a theme parkDefinitely not in comparison to CK3
isolationist japanese theocracy
is the Teutonic Horde-er in the game
>>2200244Personally, what gets me about his review is that if it were almost anyone else, that first section alone would be the reason why they stopped playing CK3 altogether.I believe it says something about OPB that, despite such a total lamentation of the game and admission that it isn't what he wanted and never will be, he would continue to play CK3 and turn his brain off to enjoy it.Like, his AUH review is positive ONLY BECAUSE he radically shifted his worldview to enjoy it.
Leak?
>>2200240>>2200243there are some that improve the character models and have the proper poses for the events... but most of it has to be text because the engine doesn't allow for a lot. even improved models still look awkwardly cartoonish, which is unfortunate
>>2200254Here>*puts his ass leaking diarrhea over your face*
>>2200245Why do that when you can do what wh*tey did to East and South Asia, eating up tiny bits of land and controlling all trade from them?

>>2200270It doesn't do that. Works wonders for ADHD but does fuckall for autism. Speaking from experience.
>>2200307>Works wonders for ADHDfuck that's what I meant actually I'm stupid
>>2200301I normally play on speed 3 or lower. No way am I ever reaching the reformation.
>>2200324I only played on Speed 3-4 when I had to play on a Steam Deck, because the little CPU in that thing isn't stronk enough for EU4's massively detailed geopolitics simulation (sarcasm), and the controls are a lot less precise than M&K.
>>2200324Shouldn't it be more like a cap on speed since that's the most your CPU can handle but fine below that? So if your speed 5 is only slightly faster than speed 3 then speed 3 will be running as normal without an issue.
>>2200327That is how it worked in EU4, yes. If you have a shit PC then there's no difference between spd 3 or 4/5.

>>2200393I normally don't care for them but in a gameplay video saw how they go from marching to running at each other across the map. It actually looks quite humorous and perfectly encapsulates how battles feel in this game.
>>2199954Even in EU5 I think its weird they have this 3D model of your ruler always in the corner of the screen. Like normies really can't play a game unless its got some face to associate to.
>>2200399It looks cool

>>2200405Pirate it and try it out tomorrow, there's no downside beyond "wasting" some time torrenting it. EU5 allegedly runs half as fast as EU4, so if EU4 runs sufficiently fast for you at speed 5 then you might be okay.
>>2200404maybe for 3 hours

>>2200399It’s like a face cam in the corner but for your ruler. Now when you watch pre-release gameplay, you have two ugly faggots to look at.
I think, in some years when the game has gone under some changes like imperator and has a lot of flavour for each country, the hansa league will be the most satisfying country to playThanks for reading
>>2200411Cringe
>>2200156>no xSo?
>>2198221I'm slightly above the minimum requirements. Which means it'll be miserable. I played EU3 in much worse conditions over a decade ago but I have standards now.
>>2200411OUT OF SYNC
>>2200149The problem is that Paradox just doesn't care enough about creating individual AI strategies and varying them to some degree that sometimes maybe Ottomans will be more focused on pushing east and other games they'll decide to try to blob into Europe. You can literally define these strategies for all individual AI nations and . They just don't do it - they give all nations the same fucking baseline strategies and then have them randomly swap them out, but since every country uses the same half-baked generic strategies it all ends up the same slush.
I do actually want events and AI behavior with IRL historical basis. That's why I play a historical strategy game. I don't want the world to be a 100% random arbitrary sandbox "what if" alt history at the hour tick when I unpause, I want some railroading so I can RP as historical nations in historical situations fighting other historical nations in a historical way.TLDR bring back missions OR add more scripted events/chains and railroaded AI behaviorI don't want to reach 1500 and have the world map look closer to 1337 than EU4's 1444 start
>>2200440>bring back missionsThis never had anything to do with the AI's movements.You're probably going to get a big fat mod that does exactly what you want "more scripted events/chains and railroaded AI behavior" so just stfu until then
>still no key in my emailI shouldn't have boughted from paradox website. fucking niggers
>>2200440Have you ever tagged to an ai and seen if they do missions ? They only ever do them if they stumble upon the requirements.
>>2200444preload starts in 3h maybe they'll give it to you then
>>2200446Missions usually give the claims required to progress down the chain. Claims make AI strongly desire provinces, thus nudging them in that direction. It's why the Ottomans, without player intervention, will always go for the Mamluks instead of going down the path of least resistance and snaking to India through the Timurid rump states
>>2200448>Missions usually give the claims required to progress down the chain.EU5 has that, but with events.
>>2200448>It's why the Ottomans, without player intervention, will always go for the MamluksHas happened for ages before missions were ever added.>instead of going down the path of least resistance and snaking to India through the Timurid rump statesThey absolutely do that too lol.
>>2200450Let's hope the event and country flavor systems are robust enough. I actually am really excited for the game and believe it will be good, to some extent, right there at launch tomorrow. All the CC's are already playing it a whole bunch, and some of them like red hawk have already decided their EU4 series are over, so it HAS to be at least playable.
>everyone from my old mountain blade regiment boughtedThere's a certain kind of retard who gets taken in by paradox tomfoolery.
Kind of sad that so many people get introduced to the game by certain videos where the guy does nothing but automate everything and conquer a bunch of neighbors. In comparison, Generalist's latest France video or Praetorian HiJynx' Japan video look entirely different, you get nonstop strategizing which laws/privileges to pick and what buildings to build.
>>2200458I just want something somewhat like MEIOU where I don't have to trigger events and find options in a series of 10 nested menus.

>>2198221>Ryzen 1700>gtx 1080My build was cutting edge like ten years ago. I really hope I can run this game, although I heard a report from an early access gamer that the 3600 feels like its barely enough
>>2200440>I don't want to reach 1500 and have the world map look closer to 1337 than EU4's 1444 startLiterally impossible. A lot of shit that happened in the 14th and 15th centuries was unthinkable.The only think you could do is to heavily railroad events as it happened, but people here also hate railroaded gameplays.

>>2200481ESL or...?
>>2200484
>>2200485We already went through this between EU2 and EU3. EU2 was much more railroaded and people complaining about games playing the same was common. Lucky nations having a Random setting comes from that. I don't really know how people feel about it now though.

>>2200497This has to be bait
>>2198577No Reformed/Calvinism? Also I don't like how they're using Lutheran and Calvinism now, I thought the whole point of the generic terms was that in your timeline you might not have had a Martin Luther or John Calvin if like Protestantism spawned in Denmark or something.
>>2200497>hi's>he'r>thei'r>it'syou're almost there, anon
>>2200497I don't blame you, English is full of stupid shit like this. It's my understanding that other languages do break their rules or have special exceptions as well, but it's frustratingly common in English to the point where even native speakers can be unfamiliar with these things after decades of speaking the language.

>Brandenburg-Prussia has no combat boni at all, until extremely late into the game and it only gives primarily a bonus to morale, no discipline>even though their country is on the European Plateu, in the middle of Europe, surrounded on all sides by enemies and if they weren't so superior in terms of army quality, they would be exactly what Brandenburg was before it became Prussia as we know it: A destitute land, ruled by robber barons and occupied by foreign armies from stronger Nations from the North and South>meanwhile random Japanese Clans, who only fight other Japanese and thus have developed inefficient meme forms of war, who don't have to contend with the most dangerous forces on the entire planet (Europeans when they organize) get infantry power, morale and discipline This is the problem, when you regard Europeans as the "default" people on the planet. You don't notice what makes them unique.

>>2200636There is some dumb recurring joke you see on places like reddit. They say something about a big goldfish in a bowl or whatever. In all, it is probably a Chinese op to paint the Japanese as super weak.

>>2200607Uh oh
>>2200645Good
>>2200607Who?
>>2200629Prussians got away with a lot, even if they made really bad strategic decisions, because of their superior martial ability. Like Friedrich the Great usually just stormed entrenched, numerically superior enemy positions like a retard, but his army still gave him victory after victory.>>2200636>>2200644Their entire form of war was adjusted to the way their society worked. It was insular and quickly became traditional and formalized, because they didn't have to innovate. The average Knight could easily beat the average Samurai.
Bros I'm hyping I'm fucking Hyping the fuck out right now I SNEED to play this game Right Meow!I want to Rule. I want to Conquer. I want to eliminate culture and religions I don't like. I want to TRADE. I want to produce and consoom. I want to look at my flag. I want to blob. I want to colonize. I want to look over My New Empire and say "That's Phil's Boy!" I want to listen to Sabaton and drop the Hard R. I want to Pre Order and play at Launch. I want to ironically complain or gloat on 4chan depending on whatever the consensus opinion is. I want to Sexplore the tech tree. I want to construct additional navies. I want to send my men into battle and count the dead. I want to abuse my pops and watch my nation suffer and die. I want to import millions of Africans to replace my dying peasant class. I want to pay full price for the DLC. I want to pLAY EUV bros!It's going to release in 25 hours and 30 mins. I could just stay up. I don't even have to sleep. I just need to eat a few times, shit a few times, jerk off a few times, and find something to keep me up all night but the only thing that could do that is EUV but it hasn't released yet! WTF! I SNEED to play Right Meow!
>>2200633I knew it would be stupid from the moment they showcased colonies. As far as I've seen only (Portuguese) Brazil gets a special name.
>>2200651 my dad
>>2200652>became traditional and formalized,No it didn't this is some reddit level of pop history knowledge.At its core japanese warfare at that time wasn't all that different from european warfare
>>2200622You absolute double nigger, you're supposed to actually build the military-political apparatus that made Prussia's spectacular rise possible.
>>2200622total tripple nigger, do some eco for once to support a military
>>2200607Can't wait for Paradox to have 'the community' like this guy have great ideas to 'develop' EU5 and turn it into total war slop XD
>>2200652Japanese quickly adopted guns and even improved them in some ways. All of the clans were fiercely competing which allowed quite a bit of advancements. No matter where and how, competition leads to innovation.
>>2200607Nononononnoo, at least give us Volound instead
>>2200670>gayloundno thanks
The Lookas et bella comparison video is pretty good
they will crack the game when the preload starts right?
>>2200607I actually like him but dont care for total war so I see this as a good thing

>xe actually downloaded the leakenjoy the malwares and futanari porn, cuckies~
I'm honestly just going to buy the $85 DELVXE edition despite the fact it has no loonix support and I have no time to play.I just want to support the company that gave me CK2 and I like the direction they're going with in EU5 and want to reward them for it even if I personally can't even play it

I barely have 100 hours in EU4 but still bought all the DLC. Same with HOI4. Never bought CK3 because I can't be parted with my beloved CK2 but loved Imperator and still buy the V3 DLC even though I never play that one either.

Is there any way to remove the ugly 3D faces away from the country flags?
>>2200745I think so. Pops themselves can be antagonistic to the state and leave, and you can actively expel them to colonies
>>2200750Hopefully not
>>2200753>you can actively expel them to coloniesJust pre-orderedPraise Johan!

Tried playing Eu4 to past the time waiting for Eu5 to release but IV feels so shit and antiquated in comparison. I can't stand development and allies are almost always terrible. Eu5's AI probably won't be great on release but at least there will be more to do in between wars besides clicking the dev buttons on random provinces.

>>2200827Forget the sengoku even before the kamakura period, when the game starts, they didn't care about that shit. The only honor that mattered for them was to win.

>>2200852Yeah especially because that would mean the enemy ai is competent too

The color coding everywhere makes the UI look like vomit. They took that ugly color coded mapmode mod for EU4 and based their entire design around it.
There better be a Steam key in my e-mail in 60 seconds, Johan.
>>2200880I get it anon you have no friends
I might be retarded, but I don't see the torrent. Even on the Russian website.

what is the method
Rotating the EU5 box is already entertaining
It's over for mods.
>>2200122Doubt
>>2200928That much ram is possible? What the fuck
>>2200852It's not competent but it's competent enough where trying to micro manage it isn't worth the effort. Either it's on and you don't have to do anything or it's off and you have to do everything and it's never worth doing everything.
>>2200928yeah bro let me just spend a thousand dollars on RAM
>>2200929>DoubtI doubt your doubt
>>2200928Does anyone still seriously have under 64gb of RAM?Imagine not getting your RAM before prices doubled last week. Bro's living in the Weimar Republic and thought he should save cash in the bank
I mean it looks like buggy unfinished shit with no missionsWhy would you buy it right now?
>>2200936I'm waiting for the Russians to buy it for me. It's been 11 minutes, chop chop.
It's time
>>2200934Don't underestimate russian autismos. It'll be done in a couple hours.

Someone explain it to me like I'm a retard I am
TUSCANY HERE WE GO ITALIA PRIMERA
The moment I'm done downloading I'm removing the retarded 3d ruler
>>2200943In russian autists we trust
>>2200940UPLOAD THE FILES LET ME PLAY THE GAME
>>220093332GB is like a hundred bucks these days. I don't imagine 64 will a lot more.
I'm in
>>2200935Wait ram prices have actually doubled these last 2 months wtf
Lemoncake just confirmed; if you bought from PDX store you can preload tomorrow morning euro time
Not sure how I feel about a bunch of files with the type csm that can't be accessed
Bros I don't know when was the last time I was so excited about the game. 24 hours to go and we all gonna make it!!!
Imagine giving your money to Paradox or some shitty content creator instead of GabeN
>>2200947It's five simple steps1. Buy the game. It will say pre-order but you can access the files right now.2. Preload it. Wait for the whole thing to finish downloading, this is important. It will be in your library.3. Go to "depotcache" folder under your steam installation. For example "Steam\steamapps\depotcache". All the game files are there. You will see several files ending with ".csd" and ".csm", but the "csd" files are the important ones. Steam has to extract these to install the game.4. Break AES-256 encryption. You should be able to solve this.5. Extract the game files from the now decrypted depot cache.Enjoy!
>24h moreholy newfagtorrent is 90% done already
>>2200806But I like building things.I hope it's fun.
>>2200953It's like 250 bucks. Depending a bit on how many slots you have and if you are upgrading or buying a completely new 64 set. Also you need 128, probably more if that's the recommended amount so safe to say at least 500-700 dollars.
>>2199904Vic 3 has a native linux version. Stellaris as well, CK3 I think too.If you really like Linux, 100% of the PDX game catalog is compatible through Proton or Wine.
>>2200963>4. Break AES-256 encryption. You should be able to solve this.I am, in fact, not able to.
>>2200963Alright give me 5 minutes
Can someone give me a nongay version of the icon that doesn't have the ugly square behind it? I want just the compass like EU4.
>>2200946>>2200953I was talking more about 128GB. My MOBO only has 2 slots, so I'd need 2x64GB? Do 64GB DDR5 dimms even exist? Jesus.
>>2200528it never looked like that, turkaboo.
>>2200974I sure hope so because I've seen servers with 1.5 TB of RAM.
>>2200974At that level you're better off getting a workstation tier CPU like a Threadripper and using quad-channel RAM.
Ok, i feel bad, there is no method I am BSing and uploading stills from a youtube video
>>2200983I assumed so, but didn't prevent me from refreshing 3 torrent websites nonstop the past 23 minutes...
>>2200974just buy virutal ram and download it to your OSpeople just buy hardware for the aesthetic
>>2200982>quad-channelNot worth the speed loss.

>>2201073>>2201074I WANT MY MOMMY
>>2200806>your neighbours of comparable strength will accept vassalization offers just because you are nice and wholesomeThis is how Tommykay won the war vs Byz (on easy difficulty). Just vassalized two of the other nearby beyliks accidentally via diplo and their combined 5k doomstack sieged down Constantinople for him while he was chasing around small Trebizond and Byz stacks. I don't think the difficulty makes the AI dumber but all Byz did was just send small stacks into a meat grinder instead of consolidating an army. The fact the Turks just sieged down Constantinople with such a small army in 1345 while not even having naval supremacy is dumb by itself.

>>2201220He converted to Norse and had a demand for slaves so Morocco started supplying him with them. Later all his slaves get replaced with Catholic slaves, mostly Swedish and Danish slaves
>>2201243Yep.

>>2201241What did you expect?
>>2201261Had to turn down the graphics to make it run smoothly.
>>2201287I'm not worried about the DLC cause I'm just gonna creamapi it. Though maybe I should just pay full price for the game in "exchange".Is it likely to have at least some sort of sale for the holidays?
>>2201293Has anyone actually played EU2How is it
>>2201295By christmas seems unlikely, but it's up to youWorst case you just pay full price in a month, right?

>>2201322imagine not being racist. its like you've never been to a city
>>2201298i loaded up for the glory (re-release of eu2 based on agc-eep mods) last year and it really is crazy how far the series has come. internal managment is 1 building per century and actually endless rebels if you ever conquer outside of your starting culture. the railroading events were fun when i was 12 because it actually taught me history, but it doesn't feel like it has a place in the modern series
>>2201322Sir this is a white thread, please leave
>>2201276Is this game gonna represent race mixing?
>>2201346It actually is I think
>>2201330i want to hurt whoever made this map
I'm finally playing EUV as byzshould I go for greece or anatolia first
>>2201346>>2201348there's an incredibly famous clip of a swedish dev talking about race mixing between a european noblewoman and a black peasant
what if we hosted a drawparty where we try to draw a 1444 map of the world from memory

>>2201370>cry/wankThis is what we're all doing while waiting for EU5 to release.

>>2201396I haven't seen it, hence I need it
>>2201393Based. Reminder: millions of Anglos will be playing as their many times great grandpa tomorrow.

okay off for my final sleepi'll play with you bros when i get up

>>2201413It actually applies to everyone everywhere. If Mansa Musa had any descendants, then it’s highly likely many or most West Africans are unironically descendants of that kang.
>>2201421>for the character system we are utilizing and getting inspiration from CK3. Uh, so, each major ethnicity has their own unique uh look and feel that can actually blend with each other. So saying you have a European female Noble having a child with a African peasant, right? You will get like this mix of DNAs from both parents and the clothing of the child as they grow up will depend on the class they cohere to.Sweden NO
>>2201400>Metizos who were literally fucked into existence during the timespan of the game Not nearly as popular as the bl*cked shit jews push everywhere
>>2201423how does it make any sense
>>2201429Porn should be banned

just let me play already

>>2201445ratio
eu5 characters don't have legs!the porn mods are so over!
>>2201459Please say that they still exist in some way. It is just only missing from some views.
>>2201442yes, from the stone age maybe, not when there were >300000 people in a country already, many isolated ones are ofcourse mixed but how can you say they all descend from a singe royal, who wouldnt marry a commoner anyway, he would ofcourse have some bastards but its still relatively insignificant in feudalism where kings were 0,00001% of the pop
>>2201457(You)
>>2201459This is unironically worse than 15 9/11.
>>2201459wtf cancelling my preorder
>>2201436>>2201464It’s primarily a conclusion based on statistics and how genealogy tends to work. There are studies that go into more detail to determine what they call the genetic isopoint for different regions, meaning that anyone who was alive at one point and had children is the ancestor of every person alive from that region today. For Europe, the year is generally 1000 AD. It’s why Charlemagne is also considered the literal father of Europe. For The UK, it’s around 1300. It’s exceedingly common to find connections to Edward III in genealogical studies and he’s probably the best example because records for the UK and its colonies were the very well kept. There was even some tv show in the UK that connected some working class celebrity to Edward III.
I can't find proof of legsgate
>>2201472Also, to add to this, there was a study that connected a paper trial from every US President, except Van Buren, to King John.
It's over
>>2201472i can believe they share some genes from a common ancestor at the very most, not that only his descendants survived
>>2201463Not sure, but I assume it's like how they didn't have legs in Imperator either since you weren't going to see them. Should be easy to mod in once the game is out though
>>2201489Well about 22 hours left, but yeah, pretty much
>>2201490>share some genes from a common ancestor>only his descendants survivedthese are the same thing
>>2201498>im your father because in 100000BC we had the same relative
>>2201495I swear I was watching a video and saw a baby/young child and it had legs (visible due to the sort of floating way they are depicted). They might still exist, just needing to be enabled if you want to view them in a menu or special event.
>>2201502you're right I am retarded
What does pre-loading the game exactly do? I'm not familiar with this stuff.
>>2201502you might be legit retarded. also consider this: assuming 2 unique parents, 4 unique grandparents and so on, it only takes 37 generations to reach a number bigger than the total amount of humans that have ever lived. that's only about 1000 years.
>>2201507it pre-downloads the game onto your computer and you can play right away when it's released, so you dont have to wait for the download and then play at the release.
>>2201507It pre-loads the game
>>2201507You don't have to download tomorrow
One streamer i tried watching played 40 years in 18 hours
>>2201490It's a numbers game. It basically comes down to the fact that assuming 0 inbreeding, your group of ancestors doubles every generation. Conversely, again assuming 0 inbreeding and every population reproducing at replacement rate, the group of descendants of any random dude in 1300 doubles every generation. In order for you to not be related to this random dude, 100% of your ancestors have to not be descendants of this dude. Statistically, the odds of that are negligible.>video games
>>2201507It auto uploads your CK3 screenshots to the Steam community.
>>2201510>>2201512>>2201513That's very cool, at least I'll be able to jump straight into the game as soon as I get back from work. I still think we'll first have to wait for the day one patch to install anyway.
Guys my girlfriend left me recently, will eu5 help me get out of a depressive state?
>>2201519you can say Clio anon
>>2201533No, but murder-suicide will. Have you considered if that's the right option for you?
>>2201533no, but at least you'll pass the time.
>>2201533Is your girlfriend a cute Mestizo you can recreate through conquest and colonialism?
>>2201533Ask her boyfriend, he did buy the game for you
>>2201520kings married queens not peasants, royals did not become peasants again in order to marry your ancestors
>>2201545the younger sons of kings weren't kingsthe younger sons of dukes weren't dukesand so on and so on until you reach the peasants
>>2201545what are bastards
>>2201547Does this mean as the youngest son I'm doomed to marry a peasant?
>>2201436Eventually though admixture your genes will be present in either nearly 100% or 0% of the human population just as a pure matter of statisticsIf you have enough kids, that trends towards 100
>>2201555Nah populations don't mix that much
Russians disappoint me right now
>>2201533yes. form big germany and forget about women
>>2201502I'm your father because I fucked your mom lol
>>2201508that would require each generation to double which never happened before industrial revolutionpop growth was 0,025% in medieval times in fact
>>2201533You will probably hate yourself and your life even more for the first 10/20 hours as you learn the game.
>>2201558Within a mostly closed ecosystem (like a country) those timeframes are shorter.Across the whole earth they're larger, and if the population continued to grow it might even be large enough to no longer be possible. It looks like the population will decline thoughEven if you have kids, unless your kids represent a statistical meaningful fraction of the whole population or remain in an extremely closed population then even if you have kids it's likely that they have almost none of your dna after only 4 generations. The exception is the Y chromosome, so you only game over when your male line is extinguished
>>2201564what are you talking about? everyone has 2 parents my nigga
>it takes 2 parents to create 1 child>it takes 2 grandparents to create each parent>after each generation, the population is cut in half>After only 32 generations, there will only be one person leftHoly fuck bros. I didn't realise it was THIS over
>>2201560You can't break the encryption nigga. Come back tomorrow. The will crack it immediatly but you can't unencrypt the files.
>>2201570>crack it immediatlygoing by past PDX titles, all you need to do to "crack" a paradox game is change a string in the launcher config file from "steam" to "gog" kek
>>2201567you are trying to raise two to the 37th power in order to >reach a number bigger than the total amount of humans that have ever livedthat requires to multiply two by two 37 timesthat is doubling
>>2201570>You can't break the encryption nigga.don't worry boys, I have the top hacker in north america working on, he was worming his way into the pentagon from his high school's science lab>the door opens and a small goth girl walks in and blows some bubblegum>what do you mean "he"?
is Chadstille the protagonist of this game too?
Imagine living in a nation where piracy, especially of westoid media, is approved and even encouraged by the state.Sounds pretty cool.
>>2201573Paradox knows this and does it because they support it
THE ROAD TO 2000
>>2201575that's my entire point. goddamn you're so retarded.
>>2201581If a game is up on GOG, hence DRM free, is it technically even illegal to distribute the installer to your friends?
>>2201208You can literally enslave black people and jews in Imperator: Rome but none of you played it
>>2201577They never aspire to be Spain and instead are content being another Iberian country. However, they still do conquer a lot of the world. Probably will even get the 'ppines if you disable nonEuropean colonization.
>>2201584that has never happened, overall human pop barely increased in medieval times
>>2201589how are you this fucking thick lmao
>>2201585This is why games are trying to become harsher with ownership and piracy. So much related to the internet isn't even illegal and couldn't really be made so without consequences that'd cause major issues.
>/gsg/ doomers got so BTFO they have now resorted to deliberately misunderstanding how a family tree works
>>2201585Your legal rights to digital content are totally independent of the mechanisms used to enforce those rightsYou can very easily rip songs from a CD, but distributing them after ripping them has always been illegal
>>2201585Yes.
>>2201591you have nothing to say, you lost
>>2201596>be me>have thing>NYOOOOOOOO YOU DON'T HAVE THE THING YOU HAVE A LICENSE TO VIEW/USE THE THING!!!why have we as a society allowed the jews to exist and do this to us?
>>2200607Can't stand this crybaby cuck. Almost as insufferable as Volund (new bad, old good)
>>2201570I don't care what is possible and what is not. These retard faggots that get to play the game right now are all insufferable and I don't know how to stay busy for 21 hours.
>>2201602>be you>explicitly agree not to redistribute a product>redistributes the product
YOU NEED TO HAVE A PHD IN ECONOMICS TO UNDERSTAND EU5!! ITS JUST LIKE LE EPIC VICTORIA 3!!!

>>2201619If you agree not to plant the seeds, then you don't plant the fucking seedsIs the concept of a contract too complicated for you?
>>2201624the problem is such a contract shouldn't be legal and the only way to access tomatoes is via such a scam contract you nigger
>>2201621proofs?
>>2201617>anti-consumer and completely unreasonableNigger you can do anything you want with your software except give it to other people, those are most reasonable terms imaginable.
>>2201619wow great analogy
What are you arguing about?
>>2201619Farmers already try to ensure this in some cases with seedless and infertile varieties.
>>2201626They spent literally years cultivating those tomatoes to make them taste like that you dumb cuntIf you just plant the tomatoes you stop cultivation from being economicalAfter 50 years, the seeds become public domain and you can grow all the fucking tomatoes that you wantStop being such a fucking bitch and contribute to an economic system that creates tasty fruit

>>2201638I'm pretty sure this is technically illegal even if not enforced. Many things say not to redistribute and there are also actually regulations you are supposed to follow around gifts.
>i failed in life so i will blame the jewsmany such cases
>>2201619That analogy doesn't even make sense because the point of digital licenses is that there's no work involved, you're not growing tomatoes you're cloning them and setting up a booth right in front of the store.
critical lack of EU5 preload decryption is bringing us to the brink of insanity huh

Why wouldn't you automate everything possible? There's too much shit going on for you to automate buildings, trade, pop related shit, estate related shit that is not privileges, etc.
>>2201732Why not automate everything and just watch a playthrough?
>>2201729I would never watch a DANE
>>2201729snake of denmark strikes again
>>2201725not on the site
>>2201735Because you can still move your armies and decide research/policies while automating the other shit.
>>2201741Just automate that aswell

I'm Polish, and I'm gonna pirate the game instead of buying it because of how it's 12 euro more expensive than the American price. This is outrageous.
>>2201729SWIMMY WE ARE WITH YOU
>>2201751I'm gonna buy the game with my hard earned money cause I have a job and I'm not a fucking loser
>>2201732Because I bought this game to build buildings
>>2201732This is going to be the biggest complaint about the game, I can see it already. Retards are going to automate literally everything and go "There's even less things to do than EU4!"
>>2201756basedbuy two, or better yet ten, or are you a loser after all?
Just like that it is almost 4, the day is almost over. EU5 has come so quick.
>>2201758in building based countries
>>2201775Ah, alas it has become too boring now
>>220177520 hours (more for me as I'll pirate it, probably 22-24 hours)

are tribesmen better than peasants?
>>2201781Who are you playing as first
>>2201781I'm genuinely scared.I know I'll have fun with this game, but what if it's one-week-fun and not 1000-hour-fun? I've got literally nothing else going on with my life, this is it.
>>2201783i assume they dont produce anything and dont pay the tax
>>2201732Well damnation, you fella one of those fruity movie game lovers aren't ya?
What even are the official recommended beginner nations by Paradox? Ones that will give me the least amount of headaches coming from EU4.
>>2201783depends.are you a horsenigger from the steppe? if so yes. if not, no.
>>2201793theres an image recommended nations select screen, iirc Naples and Ottoman are on there
>>2201793probably spain england etc
>>2201788It will be like every other game where it is one-week-fun and then 1000 hour neurotic compulsion. Then, random times in the future, you'll occasionally have one-week-fun again.
>>2201793Everyone is going to be playing in Polynesia
>>2201796>>2201798guess I'll try Bulgaria first and if that fails - flip the script and play the Ottomen
>>2201799What is the secret behind enjoying the game? I keep getting caught up in mental loops turning things into challenges, like some drug tolerance

Has any CC tried Burgundy? How do they work as both a vassal of France and a member of the HRE? Can they actually do their own thing or are they forced to fight France for independence right away?
>>2201783No, tribesmen are abysmal dogshit. Even unplayable societies of pops have nobles, peasants, etc. Even the commoners in native american tribes are peasants. Even cossacks aren't tribesmen, cossack is a culture and forms its own estate sort of like dhimmi. Tribesmen are basically oogaboogas that don't interact with your authority. They can't be employed or do anything of merit. The only way to make tribesmen do anything is promoting them to peasants.
>>2201826There's a french vassal that's also a PU under a HRE prince IIRC according to the lemon cake video

Okay but why wouldn't you automate buildings or trade? The only reason to take manual control is if it literally builds the wrong thing or wrong good, which it doesn't.There are hundreds of buildings to create and goods to produce in the UI. You can't manually choose those for each province unless you're an unemployed autist.
>>2201756Make sure to buy it with Clio Aite's referral code though!
Should I buy the game now or wait until tomorrow?
>>2201833Based
Sirs? Did we won?
>>2201843>The only reason to take manual control is if it literally builds the wrong thing or wrong good, which it doesn'tIf you're just building the thing with the most profit then sure, if you're trying to actively manipulate the market or doing anything with some strategy to it beyond that it's a different matter.
>>2201843The AI's trades are functional but not optimal.As a small country, I believe you can do slightly betterIt also helps you understand which RGOs to invest into
>>2201845it makes no difference
>>2201843>unless you're an unemployed autist.

>>2201843>unemployedIf you actually enjoy video games then your employment status has nothing to do with it. I sometimes only have a few hours a week to spare for games, but that doesn't stop me from sinking a hundred hours into a single playthrough because I actually enjoy it and am not just rushing through to check it off on a checklist so I can shitpost.
>>2201858I will never forgive the whiteskin

>>2201858Honestly there's been a decent spread of nations I've seen people pick (if you only count countries in Europe or around the med).
>>2201854Youtubers only play meme nations that appeal to the lowest common denominator redditors that make up their fan base
>No youtubers played the iroqois
Why do people play shitskin 'nations'?
whats the best Arabian tribe to play as?Najd seems fitting due to the modern day, but Hejaz is more historical

>>2201878why do you keep making threadsdo you want this board to have nothing but eu5 threads
>>2201872Anon.... visual monuments aren't a preorder bonus, the actual preorder bonus is the EU4 soundtrack
>>2201878We didn't hit the image limit yet dumbass
>>2201878What >>2201884 and >>2201889said, until we reach the image limit there is no reason to abandon thread

>>2201888Oh, like in the game?
Timur minigame seems fun
>>2201898I feel like multiplayer is going to be ck3 tier unbalanced
>>2197848>NEW PARADOX GAME LETS FUCKING GO OOOO:Fell for it again award
>>2201895Pretty sure it's just the mp3 files
>>2201878this board is too slow for bump limit to be an issue, RETARD
>>2201898timur went the wrong way
>>2201898Does he get that Diadochi cb from Imperator? that seems impossible from every other peace deal I've seen
>>2201908If Timur takes a province he auto-annexes it, no peacedeal required. Only while Timur is alive.
>>2201898Can't wait to see Timmy explode
>>2201917According to the CC its stable (400k levies too, even if almost all is 0 control)
>>2201904Could someone dump it?
>>2201920>even if almost all is 0 control)guess its time to wait for a mod that makes low control territories automatically break away or become vassals if held for too long at that control level
>>2201911So it is the Diadochi conquest repurposed. Kind of wish they'd add it to stuff like the 100yw in its later stage as well to make that less shit
>>2201928Ah ok, I only ever played Rome in that game
>>2201926From the streams I've seen control is generally very low early game, you'd have most countries instantly collapse.
>>2201926Or, instead of that, make it more likely for break away rebels to spawn there, if that location is associated with nationalist rebels of some sort.
>>2201936Most countries should be more feudal
>>2201920It's disgustingly historically accurate. Timmy pooled everything into Samarkand and the area around it, neglecting anything else.
>>2201923If they have it? sure.Should also be pretty simple to turn it into a "mod" so they play ingame too
>>2201908The Timurids also get a decision to core the entirety of a region if they control it, I think it's only limited to one region, but that's the reason why so many Timmies are conquering China
>>2201959I read a community manager post about it where they claimed it would disable achievements lolI don't think music mods have ever changed the checksum before though
really looking forward to this game. probably going to play portugal first and do a comfy colonisation run to starti'm trans btw
>>2201926A Jap did something similar, huge Timurid Empire and restored the Mongol Empire, and then got hit with a massive revolt
>>2201965No anything superficial like music and UI mods didn't use to affect things.Although with you being able to give your self steam achievements the whole ironman/achievement mode stuff is worthless anyway
>>2201975>being able to give your self steam achievementshuh?Or do you literally just mean using SAM or whatever?
Seeing China never united by the AIs really me think they would only do it irl due to the insane prestige of ‘Mandate of Heaven’ if you grab all the lands, which the AIs dont give a shit, so you will need to introduce a similar mechanic for it
>>2201979yeah SAMIronman is the keeping honest people honest stuff
>>2201980Something like a reconquest of China cb and making it so alliance blocks can't form in the region might work.
>>2201984I don't expect anyone else to care about itBut using it always feels grossI've only ever used it to clean up a single bugged achievement in a random shitty porn game
>>2201453The game isn't out yet
>>2201980Yeah China absolutely should have AI prioritizing unification for dat sweet Mandate of Heaven pussy.
>>2201989it's pre-downloaded and encrypted on peoples PCs
>>2201988understandable, never used it myselfbut it's perfectly doable to play with mods do the stuff for an achievement and give it yourself afterwards
>>2201993Yeah, fair. It just feels wrong
>>2201998Yeah, point being paradox's focus on their achievement mode is retarded
>>2201985> alliance blocks can't formNah that is dumb, chinese warlords did that all the time The game may unironically gave too much contents for the AIs to do during peace time so they dont have to paint map all the time like their brethren in EU4 lmao
>>2201980>everyone there has unify china cb>everyone has extremely low opinions of each other
>>2202000Eh, I disagree. People already do stupid bullshit in vanilla in terms of achievements, if you could change the gamerules and use console commands it would feel pointless
>>2202003>millions get eaten
>>2202003accurate to life
Guys I'm going to sleep, see you tomorrow for the release
>>2201992>and encrypted There's your problem.
These last few digits are nostalgic
>>2202003This is more like it You have the same China unification CB, you have low opinion of each others Holding all chinese cores would also give a huge boost to control or sth
>>2202016is there some sort of emperor of china/mandate mechanic?
>>2202028no, they're saving that for DLC
Why are chinese players so demanding?
>>2201878>>2201878alright
>>2201928a LOT of this game is repurposed imperator mechanics
>>2202028There should be a diary. They gave China a lot of mechanics. I'm pretty sure mandate specifically is an international organization.
>>2201980They could add a Mandate of Heaven situation for every majority Chinese splinter states to push along reunification
>>2201980Do we even have a CC who played in China? We need to see what's actually triggering to know why they're permanently doomspiraling
>>2202056>Do we even have a CC who played in China?Most of the Chinese ones played Ming

>>2202135I think they're a lot rarer and in less useful places. Saffron did it to France on the channel Islands earlier but I don't think there's one at Gibraltar or the Bosporus anymore.
There should be a strait between calais and the UK
>>2202166Only Arab nations get that perk
anyone played as the swiss cantons yet?

>>2202176me
>>2202182how is it?
>>2202186I'll be frank
>>2200200You think the game shouldn't be biased against serfdom?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5YG3wn47og1.0 and they failed to fix east asia, chinkout incoming
>>2202220nobody treated peasants as "human beings" whatever the fuck that means in feudalism
>>2202231As an East Asia main, it's... Interesting that China and Japan both never recovered from implosion. But it's just one time lapse taken out of context so maybe my experience will be different.
>>2202238The game is about the end of feudalism.
>>2202244Yet it kept going on in Russia even after the end date.
>>2202254When will we finally hit the end date bros...
>>2202254Yes? Russia is a backwards shithole and has been for a thousand years, this is known.
>>2202244industrial workers didn't exactly get humane treatment either
>>2200497it's partly because his was the original genitive for it, and partly due to the incredibly common contraction it's. Despite many homographs in English, that one in particular is apparently too much.
>>2202244feudalism ended when despite the efforts of nobility cities became giga powerful, monarchs were working in direct opposition to that
>>2202261Britain, France, Spain, Sweden, and Norway abolished serfdom (technically it still existed in Spain but in extremely small numbers) hundreds of years before industrialization.
>>2202280And? I don't see how this is relevant.
>>2202282they only did it after digging dirt was shown to be less economically profitable than centralized industry centers, not because they cared so much about the people
>>2202287Yes, what does that have to do with anything?
>>2202287>hundreds of years before industrialization
What the fuck is happening with the other thread and why is it filled up with rejected mentally ill patients from pol?
>>2202298We only allow the finest /pol/ scholars in these threads

the game sucksthe end
I saw roads in eu5 but are there trans in this game? trans way faster.
>>2202330trans are in the age of revolutions but they break apart 41% of the time
>>2202298u mad lol. WHY THO
>>2202330Trans are in this game as an endgame techBecause paradox are shit at balancing you can rush industrialisation like 100 years before real life
>>2202003>everyone has extremely low opinions of each otherthis is the big one desuevery warlord can't stand the other pretender warlords since they're all larping for 1 title. it was humiliating enough when the song emperor had to acknowledge the liao and they at least were steppe shits mostly out of china proper
>>2202419>they at least were steppe shitsThat makes it worse.>mostly out of china properAccording to Chinks they totally controlled it for 10000 years and it's core Chinese land
>>2202422>That makes it worse.not really, you can at least frame it as some cunning plot biding their time to attack the eternal foreigner, and the liao weren't technically claimants to the chinese throne they coped saying they were the junior brothers of the song emperorsbut it would be damn near impossible to acknowledge another warlord in china proper's existence because there can only be one chinese emperor
>>2202231The Chinks are all only going to play Ming WC runs so they won't even notice
>>2199330Please tell me that third one is real.
>>2199330How did you get early access to the BBC (building based country) DLCs??
12 hour warning, its happening boys
>>2202323There will always be a next year to play this game, anon
How's the game? Many of the youtubers seem to like it, but youtubers who get early access tend to shill games so I dont trust them.
>>2201688>it's not a graphically advanced game>but it requires a high-end gpu because SHUT UP ALREADY>>2201686>>2201710not 4k ultra, 1080p high preset at 60fps (according to paradox)
>>2203034The bad things that most agree are:- the game can be buggy- the AI can be retarded (dumb at war and border gore)- the game runs slow which is aggravated by lag and the early start date- most can't get themselves to play after 1600 because of the lag and the time it gets to get there (about 20 hours)General rule, even those who are critical of the game did enjoy it but don't expect it to be a finished product in it's first month of release.
3 hours
