no idea what im doinghow do i make money
>>2204583Have you tried upping your taxes on everyone you can?
>>2204566Can't even play it, the game just crashes in the main menu because I'm a PClet.
I purchased the premium edition and i didn't actually get it, anyone has the same issue?
Now that we are one hour after launchWHAT WENT SO FUCKING WRONG?
>>2204566Oh no. Oh no no no no sisters
>>2204605betting it's riglets like me seething they can't fucking run the game
>>2204605Mainly the AI doing fuck all and retards who have shit PCs
time is, indeed, nowhttps://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=148234https://files.catbox.moe/gplhmt.torrentmagnet:?xt=urn:btih:431680985efad68eb127d5218e4958d7c3814b9c&dn=Europa%20Universalis%20V

>>2204610>>2204620Cope.Flopopa Universlopalis is the worst game Paradox has shit out since Cities Skylines 2
>>2204637Easier ways to tell us you're a virgin, mate.
Is he right?
>>2204566>>2204597Turn on paper map mode and don't have retarded graphics settings and it runs smooth as butter on my 8 year old laptop
The cursor isn't appearing for me and I can't even get past the language selectionIf no one helps me with this I WILL cry
>Verona coalition war event fires where they have to fight Milan, Venice, Florence and Ferrara>Watch them win battle after battle, despite being outnumberedholy kino
>>2204605We Victoria 3 sisters won lol
>>2204669The fuck kind of CPU does your laptop have?
Heres my takeaway after spending an hour>UI has completely diverted from EU 4 and is alien to anyone coming from the previous title>UI/UX is god awful, misleading and does not display the information you need intuitively>crashed 3 times before i could start a proper game, once i started the game, ran fine>pop ups dont actually provide any information at all>you cant really do anything, because you dont have money to do anything, most countries are already in gigadebt from gamestart and there is no way to actually make money backSo yeah, game is screaming at you for you to solve stuff, but doesn't actually give you any solutions, the tutorial looks hamfisted as well and expects you to have things that you dont actually have in the game
>>2204697Borrow more money and start minting
>>220468413th gen i7
>>2204704but i don't want inflation right?and if i tax my estates they will lose satisfaction

Any of you nibbas got it to work on crossover on mac? If not I have a macbook pro 2019 16 inch, what settings do you recommend I turn down?
>>2204566Crashed twice on the main menu, immediately refunded.Kinda funny that my laptop can run cyberpunk with no stutter but a fucking map game is too much
Pour one out for our homie EU4. It's been a great ride.
>>2204716Yes but you can tank the inflation for a few years until you can sort out your situation
>>2204755I'm going back to modded eu4 whenever I'll get bored of eu5
The game is too inaccessible. People wanted EU5, not Imperator + Vic3.
>>2204765Good thing I don’t give a fuck what people want and it’s exactly what I want.
playing Hollandthere is nothing that stops fucking FRANCE from attacking me
>>2204768this
>>2204768Enjoy your delectable pile of horseshit then.
>>2204765bye manafag
>>2204768this>>2204765shut up homo
>>2204769Allying other big boys you dumb dumb
>>2204775I will. Here’s a game that might be more your speed:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.offline.strategy.europeanwar.middleage&hl=en-USEnjoy!
>>2204768It suffers from all the problems Imperator did, every nation plays the same, feels the same. AI also has zero challenge and can't handle the mechanics.
lmao TTM got nerfed hard
>>2204794So literally every paradox game at launch?
Having nested tabs upon nested tabs is kinda shit. It's not sleek design. It'd be better if they made a bazillion tabs and drop-down menus like professional software does.
>>2204785They don't want to ally me despite currying favors and improving.
>>2204775>I'm a miserable fuck: the post
>>2204765Filtered>>2204768picrel
>>2204794I don’t understand this criticism. It has more events, situations, and country specific things than EU4. The same criticism can be made of EU4 if you want to split hairs because every game is the same: blob, wait for AE to go down, blob again. There really is no mechanical difference between France and Russia in EU4. Is it because of mission trees? Because all missions do is railroad you to specific goals and gives ridiculous bonuses. Be creative and set your own goals if you want that.
>>2204816then your country is shit they don't stand to gain anything from allying with you but getting dragged into war with France, based not wanters
>>2204600Yeah, I got it :)
>>2204816See why they dont want to and fix it
>Menus within menus within menusWow this sucks cock
>>2204831I LIKE THE WAY THIS SUCKS
>>2204817You certainly are
>>2204765I wanted a mix of CK3, Vic3 and IR and EUV is all of these things :^)

how do i reduce my building expenses
>>2204861>not automating everything
johan won. i kneel.
>>2204859Same except with Wallachia. At least I learned how to get 100 manpower just in time for Hungary to invade me with 20k soldiers.
>>2204862how do i automate everything
>>2204866
goty
>>2204870i automate economy and production but not goverment because it picks the cabinet to do random shit
>>2204859this is an indicator of actually good gaem. vic 3 i picked up instantly, while this piece of shit also gives me trouble. im afraid johan actually cooked this one.
Nice full release Johan
now that the dust has settled, is it a good dame?
>>2204875idgi, whats wrong?
>>2204878>1 hour after release>dust has settled99% of us havent even finished the tutorial
>>2204859you might have to automate some stuff while learning how everything works, maybe watch a basic tutorial
>automate everything>might as well just watch the game as an observer and have the same experience
>>2204859>is black prince>doesn’t know nuffinFigures.
>>2204885you automate at first and then slowly de automate shit one by one as you learn all the mechanics

how do i disable fuckin camera rotation. every time i right click my army to go somewhere the camera spazzes out a little.
Alright who can help me be one of the 109? Got some problems I need to expel
>>2204910according to what metric
>>2204910thinking the same here, im still sceptical because its nu paradox but seems there is some actual depth here. wonder how its goes from 16th century onwards though
>>2204910 Against all odds, it's actually fuckin okaycrazy
>3 days into the game
>>2204917expel? why not enslave them?
>>2204875>stop, blame the minoritiesBased
>>2204923wow the historical accuracy is so good
when i automate the economy the ai fucks the stability, i want it to go up
>>2204923free real estate
Where is legitimacy value displayed?Is there a breakdown of building expenses by GOOD anywhere? e.g. England starts with -11.01 from building upkeep, 2.75 of which is cathedrals. But I want to know what good takes up the most of that, not what building.
Anyone tested the AI yet thoIt's not a good game if the AI is shitIm running a timelapse to 1820 but its slow.
>>2204918Mine
Anyone else prepare snacks for the occasion?
any OP privileges i can give out?
>>2204940Do slavs really just eat raw tomatoesThe pickles and pork fat thing looks great but who wants to just eat a raw tomato?
>>2204940I ate one of my three daily rations of 8 oz of rice/bean/carrots
i gonna download it and see if i can run it with my i5 6500 and my 1660 ti
I really like how when you zoom in close on a location, you can hover over buildings and it actually says what they are
>>2204944European tomatoes are completely different compared to British or American ones.
>>2204944i'm not a slav but I am from eastern europe and I occasionally eat raw tomatoes. i prefer them in a salad with salt, oil, lemon juice, cucumber and red onion though
>The AI is bad. It cannot handle the capacity it has been given. As a player you are unchallenged by the AI around 95% of the game because the AI will not expand very much and not take advantage of weak neighbours like a player can. The AI also rarely declares on the player, even with the entirety of the HRE in a coalition against me the AI never declared on me.uhhhhhhhhh
>>2204952just one more patch bro
>>2204949holy shit thats gool
>>2204923THE GREEK VICE
>Ctrl+W>map stops looking like shitFuck terrain mode
how do i play as a minor nation without my economy just collapsing immediatelyi don't even have an army i'm just extremely poor
>>2204951>i prefer them in a saladYeah tomatoes are great in a salad. I guess I shouldn't have stressed the raw part, my point was that presumably they eat the tomato by itself which seems unpleasant. Cut smaller than just halving it, with salt and lettuce and some other vegetables for flavor and texture yeah it's great but I don't want to eat that shit like an apple.
>>2204963Invite more jewish merchants
>>2204923I love how historically accurate this game is!
I think I like paganmaxxing as Lithuania more than being a Christian.
>>2204566How is it?I've only played stellaris and CK2 and 3, so how hard would it be for me to learn this one?
I don't think normgroids are gonna like this game, seems quite inaccessible, a lot to learn
How do I use the console on a non-steam version of the game?
>>2204923Common Eastern "Roman" L
>>2204980This is infinitely more complex than any of those.
Glad to see I'm not the only one feeling stupid lol. Will take a bit of a step back and watch some videos to figure shit out. Also I kinda hate the notification spam, telling me lots of stuff is not okay but seemingly no way to fix them. Oh, also, how do I know how much power will a state get after I grant them a right? I'll see a modifier of a 100% and yet I didn't see the state's power move.
>>2204980Very hard It is a bit more similar to Stellaris
>>2204985normgroids already dont play paradox games
>>2204990Ok, in what way specifically?>>2204992So it's going to be another game of yelling at pops for not moving to different social strata to grab jobs that are available?
my levies in jersey raised one single soldierwhat should i name him?
>>2205001cow
>>2205001Chad of Jersey shore.
>>2205001nigger
>>2204566Being employed never felt worse
>>2204995It has pops yes but you would want to promote them Also the economy is x10 more complex with loads of different goods, dynamic prices based on the market and needs, you can literally wage trade war And many more

>The Hyperborean Novgorodians are on average the most literate people in EuropeThank you Johan-sama for acknowledging the superiority of my people. I kneel.

Mom is bringing me another plate of tendiesGot two 1L jug piss bottles under my deskHalloween candy sitting in a bowl next to meI'm so ready bros
>>2205027Is this real in history too?
french cunts are occupying south england whilst my entire army is in aquitaine
>no idea groups>no EU4-style missionsDid Johan forget the best parts of EU4?
I miss the selecting an army marching sound.
helpful
>>2205027fucking moscovite pieces of shit
I like to think that with each Paradox release, thousands of normies are baited into buying a game they won't enjoy or care about it just because they saw some funny YouTube video about it
>>2205042>>2205043awful opinions. both of you. that sound was earrape
>>2205022So it's closer to Distant worlds 2 than stellaris then.How's the automation? DW2 level or do I have to hand hold my traders?
>try to grab a menu in the corner >map moves in that directionHOW DO I MAKE IT FUCKING STOP
meiou and taxes 5
>>2205036Without a shadow of doubt.
>>2205052
>>2205063thanks
>>2205049Oh yeah kind like dw2 more, the pop mechanics is much better too, you actually have to take of different social classes Yes you can automate most of thing
>>2205049Trading is completely different. Traders aren't characters you assign, you trade goods and resources from market to market
where genocide button
>>2205042just what the fuck exactly did you like about missions so much?
>>2205070Make big army stack and send to a province you want to starve
>>2205070You get a cabinet member to expel a population and pretend it's genocide
>>2205073If Paradox game mods are anything to go by what people actually want power fantasy visual novels instead of strategy games. The mission trees of EU4 help provide that.
>>2205075>>2205078I was told there was "basically" ethnic cleansing and enslavement
>>2205078Is there anyway to choose which specific population I want expelled? I only see an option to expel population in a province
>mixed reviews on Steam alreadyIt is so over Johanbros…
>>2204952>Throughout my games the AI has declared war on me, the player, a single time>The AI will not declare war on players, even if they are in a substantially large coalition against them, unless they view the player as vastly inferior to them, something that will never happen for most experienced players>Paradox should not have released this game for another year at minimum, with half baked features, an inexcusable lack of AI intelligence, poorly designed UI and horrendous optimization, as this game currently stands I cannot, in good faith, recommend it be purchased at full price, which is now $60 as apposed to previous titles launching at $40
why is are all my vassal's armies stuck in wales doing nothing?
Is there an issue with having negative diplo income? The state needs the money!
>>2205090No food
>>2205084>The UI is atrociously bad. From looking like a mobile game and being a pandoras box of menus upon menus. Many times I looked for what a modifier meant by hovering over it, to which the game greeted me by defining what a modifier is which was really helpful. You can get to the budget screen 6+ different ways using the top bar and the hanging banners cannot be removed. Even if you discard them they will magically reappear.>The application of events is bad. Playing with friends I was France and a friend was the Papal States. During the Western Schism neither of us received events. All the event was was improve relations with Cardinals, who can tick up to 100% twice the quickest. There was 0 flavour.>This game boils down to that fact a lot when you realise it. The flavour is ocean wide but as deep as a puddle. There is no feeling of difference between Spain and France, just random historical events you occasionally get where usually the historical option has good bonuses and the non historical one doesn’t. It’s bad and doesn’t make me feel like I am playing the country I picked.
>>2205092diplomatic spending?that slider can be set to zero until such time when you actually need it
>>2205092No if you are a small nation
>>2205082*Chuckles softly*Oh my poor child you've fallen for one of paradox's tricks
>>2205036Yes, literacy was so relatively common that we got morbillions more bich bark texts (and styluses) from Novgorod compared to other places with similar climates and materials availability.
>>2205093cant they just ask someone in the village for an apple
Wide as a ocean deep as a puddle, if the dlc is good unlike ck3 and vic3 this game will be great 3 years from now
>>2205107but i dont want to wait 3 years
>>2205104They do and they also suck up all the food around them I guess you are waging war during winter or spring?
>>2205109I’m not gonna be gaming anymore probably I used to be on 20 hours a week now it’s around 4
WTF the graphics are so bad?!
How am I supposed to complete this mission when my burghers import right until the demand is met, and if I begin importing, they subsequently decrease their imports until the balance is 0?

is africa fine for a beginner or do I have to play in europe
currently at 60% war score against the french, going to keep pushing>>2205139What is the optimal size of army where you still have enough food?
I spent so long staring at the menus I haven't unpaused, has anyone seen a landless country other than the ones at the start?
Can anybody tell me what the fuck I'm looking at here? It says my pops and buildings are missing goods even after I've automated trade. I've played EU4 and HoI4 and liked them but this is way more complex
/gsg/ forever raped by GODhan
>>2205151okay now i am taking peace asap because there is a 30k stack right next to my 20k stack
Fair warning. If you go bankrupt you will spiral into enternal bankruptcy no matter what you do. You cant take loans when bankrupt and all sources of income is knee-capped so you can never leave bankruptcy, even if you push all spending into 0.
>>2205152Greekbros....this is the Holy Roman Empire of the Hellenic Nation
>>2205158leave it on automated and it will sort out eventuallyyour pops and buildings missing goods wont immediately implode your country
>>2205158Your priority in your market (the place you bought you stuffs) must be low so anyone above you already bought all the goods you needTo increase your priority is like a different matter so good luck lmao

>>2205027What's going on that handful of completely illiterate areas in north Germany?
>>2205210...except 0 flavor and the AI cant use any of the cool mechanics
how do i strengthen my army before the hyw starts with france again?
How do I build roads?
>>2205219Research and build professional army

No way, there's already a community flavor mod for 3D character models
why is there so much seething about the game. it feels like people WANT it to be a flop

WHAT ARE YOU AUTOMATING, ANONS??
>>2205279its fucking not fucking fuck finished you fucking fucker fuck
>>2205279https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/first-impressions-thread.1866732/page-3so much nitpicking

>>2205289Everything
>>2205279when people are disappointed they tend to express it
if you automate anything in this game you might as well get a refund and watch a streamer, it's the same thing.
>>2205296maybe not laws and cabinet if you want something specific, like stronger army
>>2205302The tutorial told me to automate trade and taxes, though
10 years in and the AI is already doing shitty things
>>2204660>SlowI'm letting it go in observer mode on a 5800x3d, runs pretty good actually, thought it would be much slower looking at the statet requirements. It's like 6 seconds for a month.

tintosisters....
>>2204883i automate shit and my country bankrupts itself because the AI decides that hiring an entire cabinet when we're already running a deficit is a great idea

>>2205319ehm sweety only english reviews matter thats what I've been told on 4chuds
>>2205324No it shows the historical AI setting doesnt do shit
>>2205319Now filter out reviews with less than 1 hours played.
>>2205316Why doesnt this retard go play ck3?
What's the difference between fiefdom and vassal?
Its over
>>2205332We want historical accuracy
if you want to win against france as england just let them naval invade you and wipe out their stacks they just send tiny armies over and over

steam reviews are bottedparadox forum is full of reddit faggotsLets see what /vst/ thinksReply to this with your rating 0 - 10
>>2205346yeah?
>>2205359a fair 7.6/10everything they promised is there. with all the data they are getting from release day players, the AI patch will come soon and fix alot of the small bugs. game could be great in a week even.a month from now it'll be perfect with all the patches
>>2205316>If the result of their actions is only going to be apparent 30 minutes after they’ve taken the action, the players *will not* remember what they did to cause that.Brainlets are being filtered.
>>2205359shite/10AI is shite
>>2205291Looks like midwits trying to find their dick to take a piss
>>22053595/10 there's no flavor to anything
>>2205265No, the game just passes time slower than CK and especially HOI, honestly, I wish CK3 was more slower paced and tha time would go by like in EU
NOT MY HECKING BRANDENBURGERINO NOOO
>>2205308Bruh, econ is one the main pillars of EU, if you can be bothered to try and learn it, then that's on you
>>2205347And what accuracy would that be? The Ferrandine Wars?
>>2205359I lieked it
>>2205311blessed
>>2205267Based
>>2205311Moortugal should be annihilated
am i just meant to stack all my buildings in my capitaleverywhere else has fuck all control over anything
should i curry favours with my new allies so i can call them into wars? does it work like eu4
>>2205409Do that AND increase control in your locations
>>2205363Honestly, I'm glad they got rid of mission trees as well, it just seemed like a last ditch way to circumvent a lot of the games other mechanics to desperately patch some flavor to specific nations because the game itself otherwise doesn't play very differently nation to nation. Thing is, while I enjoy the gameplay loop of EU enough, they haven't done anything yet to replace nation specific mission trees with something better, but they probably will later one.
>>2205359great potential and the best game since hoi3
>>2205410Yes
>>22053597/10
>>2205432I want auto skip all events. Can't be bothered with them. Just want to autorun my Iceland into age of exploration, but can't do that because the game pauses upon events
how do i turn off diplomatic spending wtf i need that 0.5 ducats
>>22053597/10 now, 9/10 once the AI are unlobotomized

Does it actually feel like EU4 but better or is it like a mix of Vicky 3 and EU4?
>>2204566oh wow, starting as Denmark fucking sucks, theres literally jack shit you can do to improve the economy
>>2205316Simulatonbros how could they mock us like this
>>2205461It feels more like EU4+Imperator

>>2205350This also works in HOI4.
johan can't design a game for shit:there is little to do that actually affects your campaignand there are billions of other things, that barely affect your campaign, yet require micromanagement and attention, hence they get automated you are left with a game that somehow is even more bland than ck3 on release impressive work

I wanted a complex game and I got it. manafags Can go play something else
>>2205488colonize deez nutz LMAO
>>2205495Great. you automated playing a fucking video game and tomorrow you'll be complaining that you're bored
>>2205454Hit the two thousand!
>>2205495How to automate?
>>2205468>>2205492thanks niggers
it's actually fucking good stop complaining
>>2205495Good for you, now uninstall and be depressed at the next game you cheat your way through, why even bother downloading the game at all?
>>2205505Just streamline it. Bro give me 200k and I will make an app. We need more servers.
>>2205495Drew Durnil type gameplay
ppl are sayin the AI is shit but thats good for menothing enraged me more than warring against an equal power AI that would just perfect micro carpet siege your shit down then merge into tiny stacks that were just strong enough to always autowin your smaller stacks and if you did make a bigger stack they would just run away until they perfectly micro into a merging just a large enough army to beat you from all the little faggot stacks running aroundFUUUUUUUUUUCK off with that shit.
>>2205515That's not good AI either. You don't know what good AI is. Good ai should be engaging and fun, both games have shitty AI for different reasons
>game crashes when i look at the population tab both on vulkan and dx12Whelp, time to wait for the game to be functional
cute transgirls are playing eu4 and you're blackpilling?
Anyone know how play as a real chink not as Yuan foreign invaders? Or am I going to have to figure this out myself
>the Kitaran Empire in fucking Uganda is the 13th strongest power in the game at game start because of the 200+ modifier from being an empiregreat gamewould recommend
>>2205515The AI of paradox games isn't very good but just really annoying. It will prioritize doing something to mess with you over self preservation.HOI4 naval invasions for example are never an actual threat for a player (except for Japan when you play as China) but you still have to guard your coastline and micro so that 1 division invasions don't just snake victory points.
>>2205537Thank you for suggesting the first BBC tag that I'll play
>>2205536You may need to go to whatever chinese forum that discusses this game
>>2205536wait until the Red Turban Rebellion starts and then tag switch
>>2205520this-devs ultimately don't know how to program an AI to properly take into account so many variables, so in this case they muzzle it to prevent it from shitting all over the floor. result: nothing interesting happens-if they make it too focused on the player, then it becomes hyper-revolving around your choices. you have to sit around building tall and waiting to prevent you from triggering the massive empire doomarmy too early. result: nothing interesting happens-they make the ai player-neutral and 'fair', where it doesn't use cheats or pay special attention to the fact that the player is in control. the ai then becomes a pushover as it cannot compete strategically with anyone who played for more than 30 hours. result: nothing interesting happens-they give the AI cheats and allow it to see all your numbers. you then have to build weird to minmax your numbers so you don't reach the threat threshold too early. result: nothing interesting happens
>>2205536Play as Yuan they get a rebellion event
Would be nice if the game didn't run like shit when I want it to look at least presentable. Pop-in, micro freezes, smudgy textures...Nice one paradox
>>2205539its good enough for what it is, a spreadsheet autism sim city game. usually winning 1 good battle will put the AI off your ass, the problem is when you're not giga OP and can't just utterly mog the AI's armies 1v1 so they'll start taking 3 year trips around your borders to siege down some useless shit just to mess wiith you.
The UI in this is so confusing. I can't find anything I want to find like in Hoi4 and EU4. Everything is hidden behind like 5 different menus and is so convoluted.
>decide to hyperfocus on trade in the opening years>plague hits>lose half your populationah

https://boards.4chan.org/vst/thread/2200977#bottom
>>2204963I think it might be a bit like Stellaris in that you build the buildings and wait for the population to emerge to staff it. Laborers look a bit like clerks in that they will shit out some of the base good up to a certain amount, then after that it's barely enough extra food to cover the extra laborers.To actually get the money, I am trying to figure that out. I think the money has to come from somewhere, unlike EU4. But it seems you can ask neighbours for money more frequently than in EU4, so it's like CK where you build up your economy and snowball. Except with all these trade goods, the market is likely to correct if every tag in a region is going for the same gap in the market, so building up an infrastructure building like "market village" which uses peasants might be better than creating something that makes the goods that get sold in other tags.This is genuinely exciting and bewildering.
>>2205577You kind of get used to it, but it's definitely not good. My biggest gripe is the buttons don't really pop. Like my eyes will glaze over certain buttons because they're placed arbitrarily in a conforming color scheme on a page. Needs a rework again
>>2205560>>2205546Just tried it, it takes too long to fire so I'm forced to play as Yuaniggers and make them stronger even though I HATE them. And it feels unfair to just afk and not move your armies as other countries declare war and estate rebels appear.Maybe I'll do it once I get really bored.
every single review of this game so far:>I was gifted a copy and sponsored $10,000 to make this video and they called me a loyal trustworthy supporter.... BUTTTTTT they didn't give me a script so I'm going to be BRUTALLY honest in my review that the game is a 9.9999/10 if only they improved the tree textureshow long until people start calling it shit?

Never played EU4 but have played Vicky 2 and HOI4 extensively. Is this any good or is EU4 better? I don't trust my friends to have developed opinions on it.

chudbros?
It's so fucking tedious man. I want to be fair and learn the mechanics but the UI is so poorly presented and overwhelming. Too many dropboxes, sliders, tabs, etc. What is important is buried beneath what isn't.My biggest problem with recent Paradox games has been the ugliness.EU4 was great because it offered depth in a simple, easy to navigate format. Yes, it's more game-y but it's a game. EU5 is a clusterfuck that tries to be a Frankenstein monster combining all of their games. I just can't see how they expand upon this without breaking the game with each update.I haven't even managed to get to combat yet
>>2205644Thinking about it, the best use might actually be roads and bribing estates into accepting privilege revocation
>>2205708>Burgerij taxNooOOOoOooOO!!!!!
>>2205763NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION
KINO is now
>Unfortunately everything I loved about EU4 appears to be minimalised or straight up removed and replaced by 30 tabs, with overwhelming amount of information that I personally do not want to deal with. Missions which gave nations flavour and made them fun and unique to play were replaced by a market sim of providing food and clothes to your people and armies. Making sure my soldiers have undies to wear for war isn't my idea of fun.Post yfw a second retard filter has hit the casual shitters.

>>2205771I knew all the faggots who started with EU4 would have a crash out because it’s not the civ with provinces game they’re used to.
>>2205795Its strange that EU V doesn't let you see the breakdown by languages, I can get it on other games reviews just fine
post yfw ck2 is still (STILL) the best paradox game in 2016+9
>>2205810Yeah just noticed that when I checked Vic3 to compare. My guess is it doesn't do it until the game has been out for a certain amount of time or has a minimum number of reviews.
oh so they didn't even test uncivs because without research you don't get a diplo slider, so ur default spending assloads of money, but you also have no researched way to get incomeautomatic debt spiral i guess

NGL bros I am struggling. Did 2.2hours in the Castille tutorial and the information overload is insane. Gave it a real good try but the UI is just bad, there are parts that are too small and parts that are too big.

>>2206011> how to make moneyBe the top dog in your market and others’Buy low sell high to other markets
>>2205977CK3 conquerors are dogshit. CK2 Alexander the Great events were super rare but never felt overwhelming, remained somewhat constrained and only lasted with the one ruler. CK3’s conquerors pop up ever other second, for some fuck all reason it’s defaulted to inherit upon death and are unbelievably overpowered, they make insane amounts of money, have a massively bloated army and blob everywhere. It’s so stupid seeing some random sharan Muslim state blob all the way to northern Italy. It’s so unbelievable unfun to go against and to see how it irreversibly fucks up your save. Like a lot things with CK3 unfortunately, I guess it’s why I actually have had fun with EU5, I mean it’s in a way better state now than CK3 is after nearly 5 years of updates.
>>2206017Paradox games hit their stride around 2.0 so wait until then.
There doesn't seem to be any risk of coalition or negative outcome for blobbing. I have just conquered half of Ireland with unjustified demands as Scotland and don't seem to be getting punished in any way.
>>2206023I get it but is it a step forward from EU4 or a V3 trashfire situation?

what is this terrible speed 5 and ui?
>>2206055Everyone complains about UI when they're learning it. I think there's no huge problem with how it looks, but I find the 2 nested tabs within 3 nested tabs within 2 nested tabs design retarded. It's going to be fine when you get used to it, but getting used to that kind of UI sucks.That is to say that people hate learning it, and they'll eventually suck it up. That happens regardless if it's good or bad. In this case, the reasonable frustration is learning where everything is. When you go for nested tabs, instead of having 20 buttons you don't know how to use, you have no idea where the 20 buttons are until you find them.
England is so much fun guys
>>2206152france has like 5 x more soldiers than me

What does fort maintenance even do? Can I drop this down during peace like EU4 or will I get assfucked because of how buildings are supplied in this game?

>>2206157France and its vassals outnumber England by a lot, England ai struggles with this. But as a player, it's a decent challenge. Because of all the French vassals, a lot of the French army is very divided and you can defeat them one by one.

>>2206142to clarify it was only an hq after the prussian holdings were lost in the 16th century, until then it was one of a smattering of holdings the order held throughout the hre, albeit the most important. in practive the hre holdings (and before they gained essentially independence the livonian order) had a lot of autonomy in handling local affairs

>>2206215Aragooner.
I literally did nothing for 3 hours straight, lmao.I just did the tutorials, stared at map modes and reading tooltips, I barely advanced five years in the game.I need to watch a few youtube guides, all I did in game was building roads, appointing cabinets and automating trade.
>>2206224You're already ahead of the curve. Good job, anon
>>2206215i am fucking hating portugal, can't afford shit in this shitholemight as well go castile and instantly conquer portugal and use their combined wealth to actually afford a colony
>>2204923i had this too, but i was too busy figuring out how to get cbs
I spent 2 hours just looking at every fucking menu, option and reading tooltips. Now I am like one decade into my Georgia run and building up Tbilisi an shieeet, because I am afraid of declaring war on the horde niggers.
>>2206170sirs...
wat
>>2206224>>2206230Spent 2 hours in the tutorial and the UI never got easier to read. Refunded, gonna spend the money on Anno instead.
I can't play the game because claim throne CB just doesn't work. GG
>Boot up>Select dynamic game options>Narrow my first shithole nation to anyone with a hooked cross flag (Teypana, Gyelrong, or Poonch)>Choose the nazi plains indians because they're less gay than chinks or poos>disable all automation>read, read, read...I can see why no one is posting screen shots. This game is fucking deep as hell. It's been 20 mins since I settled on the nazi plain indians shithole and I'm still just reading the opening agenda thing.No wonder redditors hate this game
the diplomacy map mode is fucking garbageallow me to see who is allied with who and their vassals without having to click 50 menus you fucking monkey devs
Are the negative reviews valid or just full of people mad thats its not like HOI4 and doesn’t run on their shitbox?
>>2206241I don't understand how every game post EU4 has had worse map modes.>>2206243I didn't leave a negative review but I couldn't stomach playing anymore and it just felt like work to me.
>>2206157nta but in my current run, they surprise declared on me and i still managed to peace out with like 50% war score just by winning battlesthey landed small amounts like 6k stacks in england, i’d just wipe them and their navy while i have my large 50k stack in northern francethe ai is really dumb still, i’d sit on their fort with my stack and they would try to occupy an adjacent province with a small stack, and i just walk over and win battles like that repeatedly.i only built 4 extra ships at the start of the game but my navy outnumbered theirs with levys which helped.
How the fuck is music stored in the files. I'm searching through them but can't see shit.
>>2206248pretty sure it's just being generated dynamically at runtime, that's why your cpu is running so hot
>>2206243I might leave one because the UI needs work.
Is there anything to do as a landless nation? I played a banker family for an hour and just improved relations with other nations so I could build banks in their lands to siphon their tax to my pockets.
Stability really is cancer.
Where are all the menu jingles? Some guy in my court committed suicide and it didn’t play a dramatic sound for it.
>>2206243Lots of shitboxesLots of Johan despisers (deserved)UI/UX, AI's need for tweaking, and need for further optimization are the most valid criticisms.I'm having a lot of fun playing it, but it's going to be rough for others
>>2206252playing as a banker sounds fun in mp but in singleplayer what can you possibly do besides make number go up?
>>2206236I fucking love that there was so much to explore in the UI. I ONLY HAVE FIVE HOURS OF SLEEP SCHEDULED AND WORK TOMORROW FUCKING HELL I WANT TO BLOB NIGGERS
>>2205952and do what? "enjoy" the awfully slow time tick? No reason to play this over ck3 or eu4, really fucking disappointing release
>>2206260>I fucking love that there was so much to explore in the UIDifferent strokes. I can't describe accurately what my issues are but actually using the UI and map modes felt more difficult than any other PDX game. It just felt like a slog to navigate and get anything done.
fucking finally1348 i can begin collecting taxes, ie playing the gamedamn tribals
i dont even know how to embark my troops, i just click on the place i want to land now, like an eu4 noob

Rate my MayaThe control for like 90% of it is like 0 because I control it personally and I've only just had enough masonry to start building roadsMy economy is also getting absolutely fucked because I'm jacked to the tits on debt and my nobility are crushingly powerful (like 170% stability to revoke their shitty privilages because I gave them too many at game start)Good times
>>2206269oh wait, i cant, without silver or gold. Lmao?
this control shit is confusing, and apparently everyone is mirgrating to my capital which is fine for now i guess.
1st crash around 1358 after hovering over some witch event and having declared a war
jesus fuck, the game is so fucking slowi don't think I have the patience to ever reach the napoleonic times
>never played a GSG before (have played 4x)>decided EU5 would be my first>install the game>start working through the tutorial>getting overwhemed with the shear amount of stuff there is and micro managing (if wanted)>get as far as the military part 9after you select a mission)>close gameI don't think I have the mental capacity to play one of these games.
>>2206282You will learn patience
>>2205165is it like eu4 where you get the bankruptcy debuff for 5 years? generally you’d plan to go bankrupt if you must but have to make sure that you don’t bankrupt spiral by having enough income to begin with
>>2206278Oh, it also fucking autosaves when you declare war so I couldn't get back the 40 fucking stability I lost when I accidentally used a no CB instead of the claim province CB I had fuck you johan you fucking hack
>>2206285The trick is to just ignore the tutorial and learn by fucking around.Turn off all automation, turn off the tutorial pop ups but leave the tool tips on, and just play. Pause if you feel like something is happeneing too fast otherwise just leave it on speed one and click around.I've learned every paradox game this way (but I do remember my first game I quit because I couldn't figure out how to declare war. Basically stop thinking of these games in terms of other games like CIV or whatever you've played. They're their own thing)If you hate failure just turn on the option to play as other nations then as you're being conquered just switch to whoever is conquering you and keep on keeping on
>2nd run, after losing 1st one to mega-coalition. Decide to put everything automated>Dogshit economy, have to spend 30 years trying to stop a death spiral>bankrupt anyways because an event made me take loans>recover slowly, deeply negative in literally everything you can think of>constant civil wars>eventually re-stabilize the realm>get another event that makes me lose money>"estates have no money to loan">go briefly negative once>instant bankruptcy despite having 0 loansfully automated economy btw, didn't even expand was just vibing.
>>2206285>decided EU5 would be my first>I don't think I have the mental capacity to play one of these games.Nah, you've just picked the one infested with victoriashit autism. Play literally any other one but this and Victoria and you will likely love it.
>>2206285EU5 is definitely not the one to start with. Try any of the other ones and then consider coming back. Admittedly EU5 is like Johan trying to make a game for GSG players by ramming them all together.
>>2206292>If you hate failureI actually like this to a degree. Fail a run and start over. it's why I like Rimworld and project Zomboid so much.
>>2206297Any recommendations? I actually own HoI4 but I really couldn't give a fuck less about WW2
how am i supposed to defeat france in the hundred years war when they have so much manpower
>>2206299Then yeah just go with the flow, expect to fail at some point but if you're ok with that then just try again.The truth is no one actually "knows" how to play this game right now. The streamtards literally tell people to automate everything. That means they don't know how that shit works. It's also possibly like V2 in that it actually doesn't even work right. We don't know yet.If you're interested in the game then just keep clicking around until you figure out how to do something you think is cool
This might be the deepest 4x game ever made judging by all the casuals getting filtered.
i don’t really get why you can force buildings to do things in certain ways whenever you want, despite having low control in the province, despite stuff like changing hiring laws costing stab
>>2206304>4x gamenice bait
>>2206301Victoria 2
>>2206301EU4 and CK3.
there is nothing to do in this gameyou just sit doing nothing whilst the ai does all your economythen you just raise levies in war time and click on smalller numbers with bigger numbers
>>2206301NTA but CK2 was my babby steps into it, and then Victoria 2. The right one is in the setting with the mechanics you like the most. Kings and dynasties? Crusader Kings. Industrialization and Colonialism? Victoria. EU4 - inbetween. Imperator if you're a big anitquity fan and don't mind modding it with the Invictus mod
>>2206310Don't click the automate button then and do your own economy, dumbass
>>2206310filtered
holy fucking ScotCHADS
>>2206310As opposed to waiting for mana in eu4?
>>2206310The automation isn't even on by default, you chose to suffer
Are No-CB wars the standard?
>>2206315man it must be so fucking easy to play france in the 100 years war vs AI england
>>2206311I really don't care about any of that lmao. It would be cool to rule the world either direct or puppet states. I also want to take a society/country from nothing and make them into an unstoppable force. Perhaps HoI4 would be more my speed since it's all war?
>>2206315Holy fuck what is this shit battle UI? It's even worse than the state tabs, lmaooo
how can you fall for the bait so easily
>roads dont increase proximity>claim crown brokenthanks johan let's add to the list lads
ngl it took a good 30 seconds to find where the dice rolls are shown in the battle UIand everything is so reliant on tooltips because random ass colored bars
>>2206328>>roads dont increase proximityThey don't? I've been building them for proximity and control and it definitely works with control
>>2206328No game is perfect day one
>click trade capacity button>trade isn't createdAmazing system
does grassland become farmland after a while? if you expand farm a lot there for decades

Decided to play a random tiny island nation as my first playthrough. Was making some good progress until these damn indogs declared on me while I was conquering a larger neighbor and I got quickly puppeted. Next playthrough I will slaughter them all. DEATH TO INDOGS.

wait, why are missions not ironman anymore?
Tuscany done, just missing a location north for full area control and integrating a vassal, it's 1359Italy here we gobtw antagonism so far seems like a nothingburger at least annexing a bunch of tiny countries
>>2206341Dynamic historical events are superior to scripted historical events. Historically correct Roman Empire name is not default. Having other continents spawn the black death or do exploration is more fun too.>>2206344I have literally never gotten a single achievement in a single paradox game ever
>>2206335Jesus Christ, the Us is getting worse with every new screenshot I'm seeing.

time for bed, I will be running an observer game through the night, we'll see if the AI really does not do anything
>>2206343>hows the navy difference? does england have more ships or about the same?
>>2206351eu4 isnt that much better
>>2206357interesting, i was able to levy up 40 ships as england
>>2206361Yes, it is. And so is EU3.
UI is genuinely horrible, I dont understand why they didn't do v2 style spreadsheets instead of forcing everything into the left window or these awful spaced out blobby messes

Can you create custom nations (similar to Ruler Designer?)
>>2206344I give myself gold in every pdx game I play. Even if I didn't, defaults literally turns missions off and I bet some of you fags complaining don't even realize that. Not to mention other random 'flavor' shit that some autists might not enjoy.
>>2206377you could in eu4, but i don’t see it here
>>2206344You... just play it for the fun
>>2206380I wonder how hard it would be to implement
>>2206372This is just pure distilled cope.EU4 had a metric fuckton of issues on launch, but UI was not one of them. Switching from EU3 UI to EU4 UI was a very smooth experience. This absolute clusterfuck of a UI that EU5 has on top of its clusterfuck of victoriashit spreadsheet manager autism is making eyes bleed with how incompetently it was made. And that's not even talking about this shitty bland brown colour that's turned into a puke stain by all the random SUDDEN patches of violet, green, blue, orange and whatnot.
>>2206381ahoge women are pure sex
Should I bother with the tutorial, it drops me into a country with the expansion objective but the nearest actual completion is like a year away. Should I just start a new game and wing it? I'm so fucking lost.
it said pirates spawned and now my economy went to shit. What do I do bros
>>2206383
>>2206388ducats are just a number
>>2206383This. The worst you could say about the UI was that scrolling all the diplo options was ridiculous.
feels like i’m just playing eu4 with some vic shit and ck shit added for insane amount of micromanagement in vic i’d be staring at price levels and trades when the game ticked, how the fuck am i supposed to play eu5 when all this other stuff is going on as well?
What is the advantage of managing your trade because my eyes just glaze over looking at that shit.
shithole bros, how we doing?
>>2206346>>2206349>>2206378>>2206381The argument is that if you're not getting achievements anyway, then why not just torrent it. Achivs and MP are the only reasons to have it bought, and I sure bloody hope you're not schizo enough to play MP in paradox games.

That might have something to do with what the other anon was mentioning in that I don't have anything to trade idk>>2205583what exactly are you asking me to do and why is it something you can't do yourself?
Game runs much faster on Linux than Windows.. below minimum spec PCs are getting better performance than i27 20000K CPUs on winblows
>>2206483Honestly I'm not sure how to explain what I am asking any clearer more then I did so if you don't get it then just forget about it>why can't you do it yourselfI don't own the game
>>2206484>>2206481Oh I can chime in. I'm on Linux with a 5600G and it's about 10 days a second on speed 5. I am in America tho that might have something to do with it idk
>>2206484are you on vulkan or DX12?
EU5 has lower rating than Victoria 3 and Diablo 4. Let that sink in.
>>2206395I'm thinking about giving up on Hawaii. I am slowly growing but my nation is obviously suffering. I've got spammed with so many negative stability events I'm near -50. I can't really get my income above around +0.25. Is it really hopeless?
>>2206323EU4 is the blob game
>>2206483tag me if you manage to make it work
>>2206492Shitoria 3 had a horrid rating when it first came out and it still deserves to have a red name rating.
>>2206480I just tore everything down that wasn't profitable, not my fucking problem. If people rebel, once I figure out how to build an army, I'll just send them in and kill the rebels.
How long is everyone taking for a year to pass in game? Mine take like a minute
why doesnt my fucking army move when i click it to move with transports
>>2206493have you managed to get coins in to your economy?
>>2206488dx12, vulkan was crashing at random times
Other than developing your center of trade what ways are there to increase the market attraction of your market? Scotland is creeping into Northumbria market wise and it's annoying.
>>2206499roughly 2 days/s on speed 5, but then again I'm rocking an i5-660K, I'm not complaining I can run it fine
How do I get money as an OPM, feels like everyone around me builds shit and expand even more than in EU4,
>>2206510Verticalize your supply chain instead of just going for the bigger number
Is there a way to revive one of these microreligions if they are of a different group?
>>2206502I don't know. I gain money that I tax from the pops, but I don't think there is anything to mint with and remember some warning about not being able to mint when I first researched taxation. I built a building and my Nobility built two others, but it didn't raise my income much if at all.
How the fuck do you get the claim the throne CB back on France after the first war? Do you just get it again randomly by event? I can't find a way to fabricate one, I can war France all I want with other CBs but I can't get the throne with them.
>>2206509>i5-660K6600K*
>>2206512what
>>2206288>it also fucking autosavesHuh? Is there a way to turn that off?
>>2206515>>2206515>Do you just get it again randomly by event?I don't know if it's random or not but I've gotten it like 3 times
>>2206518It only matters in ironman.In non-ironman there are multiple autosaves afaik
Sirs! Bharat COLLAPSED!The Brahmin SIRS rose up!
>>2206514how did you manage to tax them? can y show your economy screen?
>>2206523delhi are pisslamic afghan trash, they are not real BHARAT BULLS

Welcome to Europtoria Kings
how the fuck do i beat france as englandseriously
The advances screen is just terrible
>>2206537drag, zoom in, zoom out. repeat 100x fucking disaster with no coherent layout
so I'm just supposed to believe roads were invented in 1337 and then everybody in the world simultaneously started building them at the same time?
>>2206521Do you have to have a truce with France, have you happened to notice? I've only not had a truce with France for like a year at a time so far, so that might be it. I've been trying to keep hammering them to keep them from getting too strong.
guys? I am confused and bored
>>2206524Sliders appeared for me when I researched taxation. I checked my market and there is no metal in it. Maybe it is related to technology or something. I think Hawaii starts with the technology to work with gold and silver despite not having it. Maybe it is a glitch.
>>2206446similar to mine. win 10, 5600x, 3060, 16gb ram, ssd. just doesnt load anything
>>2206540Tribes have "parliaments"
>>2206540yes enjoy your paraslop with braindead AI that does nothing for 500 years
>>220654810 guys sitting around a campfire is your parilament
>>2206544because you're a faggot
how do i take a province out of a market and put it in another one
>>2206504cope mutt
>>2206548>>2206550A bunch of guys doing meetings and deciding the destiny of the nation is a parliament, so that's technically true.
>>2206550The mechanic is supposed to represent stuff like this in those cases. The mechanic is sort of weird in general though because it mostly just gives you and easier way to get a few things done. It can also rape your stability.
>>2206545damn bullshitme down south also started with the tech to mine them but there is nothing to minemaybe coins are created from the market or something, i wouldnt know, i dont have the access to it.overall tho you are doing better than me, my income is 0,01 from the food... something (it says im selling it but to who?).also you should maybe decrease the tax on peasants and clergy
Did I pirate the wrong version? Why is everyone east of Kyiv asiatic?
As someone brand new to grand stat games I feel like starting with Crown of Castile was a mistake correct? Shit is huge and there's so much.
>>2206561also funny thing, i have 0 coins in my economy, and im able to increase diplo and court spending to 100%, gaining all the bonuses but not spending anything, because i have nothing to spend. This game is undercooked.
Where do you see your war exhaustion? I can't fucking find it.
>>2206565>brand new to gsg>starts with EU5
>>2206565there is a tutorial that suggest you what to play
>>2206568The flag with period stain on it in the top bar
>>2206548honestly thats fine, I'm okay with that level of abstraction, but the roads thing is pure boardgame and just flies in the face of every youtuber calling it a "historical sim".
>>2206565Your issue is starting with EU5, it's too much for some experienced gsg'ers.
>>2206569I wanted something fresh and new.>>2206570That's what was suggested
>>2206571thanks, that's so fucking unintuitive
>>2206575pick something in HRE thenor in africa, like mali or something, then you'll have fewer problems and buttons
>>2206575Just press play and solve problems as they arise, your country will probably run itself into the ground but you will atleast learn something for next time. Castile is probably fine for beginners because no AI will declare war if you grab a few allies and don't expand too much.
>>2206138>>2206143Paradox's music department is absolutely cooking.Pain in Salvation hits just right, and I don't even speak German.
Guys I only care about one thing, hows bohemia in eu5? Is hussite actually playable?
>>2206580yeshttps://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/tinto-flavour-6-14th-of-february-2025-bohemia.1728777/
>>2206580bohemia is the richest region in europe
just beat a french army of 20k with my 10k army of anglo chads
>>2206578I just uninstalled it, I don't think this game is for me nor is the genre. I'll just play something else.
MAGYAR STRONG!!
WHY DO ALL MY ESTATES HATE ME
Damn the UI is actually fucking terribleMarketing is really the only thing PDX is good at
How do you colonize neighbouring tribals in Africa? They are same culture and religion as me, but the one province I can create a Colonial Charter in has nothing to do with me.
>>2206591there is a council job for that
>>2206593Same deal. Settle the Frontier says those are not valid targets, and points me to the same region.

okay so the hundred years war is impossible to win if you're england
okay apparently there ARE some roads, it's just weird that some relatively important nations don't have a road to their capital already
>>2206601They should just add a lower tier of road and sprinkle them all over.
>>2206601>okay apparently there ARE some roadsIt's like imperator wherein there's like 6 roads in existence at the start
Is the 30 years war in the game?
>>2206605It'll take you 30 real years to reach that point of the game
BUDGETCHADSWW@
>>2206600which is very weird because the English did fairly well, all things considered (in the end I'm not sure that they could have maintained both crowns, but if Henry V had lived a little longer, who knows).
First run, playing as a swiss canton, and holy shit, the swiss confederacy got smashed by Austria in our first war. The AI on our side was giga retarded and kept our 4k total levies split while together we could have a chance to beat the 5.5k austrian army. Luckly it was just a show superiority cb and no member lost lands.
>>2206607Who's giving you 70 ducats in foreign aid and for what purpose?
Average 20-year-old Sc*ndinavian
the ai is so retarded in wars
>>2206613we call these "tributes"
>>2206615I've noticed that age almost seems encoded in some characters' genetics.
Didn't get to play yet but let me guess, it's Vicky 3 all over again.
Well, this is definitely not V3 economy. If anyone was ever concerned.But you still have to keep taxes on Nobility low, because those fucks are insufferable.Post your guillotine memes. All my homies hate Nobility.
>>2206621no it's actually good and functionalhonestly it has basically EU IV's features on a base level, except a lot more added to itI'm honestly very pleasantly surprisedI was very worried it'd be a piece of shit but it's been a lot of fun, actual depth involved, and the music is honestly stellar if nothing else
>>2206410>>2206413go back to eu4 if you dont like it
>>2206623AI still builds dumb shit nobody needs, and has no inputs on the market. I ain't subsidizing that shit.
>Dood what if we combined CK3 ("""game""" for little girls with Victoria 3 (game that no one on the planet likes)?What the fuck were they thinking?
>>2204697its really weird to me that they copied none of the ui improvements vic3 has implemented over the past 3 years. or the fact that they didnt even copy vic 3 launch ui stuff. the building/production/goods window is completely insane in terms of how its laid out
>>2206626Wiz took the 500 brainlets on the left, Johan took 500 brainlets on the right. Like Goku and Vegeta.
>>2206623How does it run on toaster-tier CPUs? I got a 5700x3d for reference.
>>2206630it runs okay, I have an i5-6600K as I posted before in this thread, which at this point is like from 2015
>>2206627Market automation and the system in EU5 isn't as crucial as it is in V3.
>>2206630Running fine here on an i5-9400, 20gb ram and 4gb gpu.
Remember when Johan used to love mana? And wasted all his time on Spanish beaches? He's come a long way since then.
>>2206630I have an i3-12100F and it's a few days per second, it's about the same as a Ryzen 3600 as far as I can remember.
>>2206416>hover over tooltip>wait for it to be locked in place>hover over next tooltip>rinse repeat until you find all the info you needI did this for like 20 minutes before even unpausing and it wasn't too difficult to find out where everything was.
>>2206632>Paradox makes the game optimized for 3rd worlders becuase otherwise no one would buy the gameSad!
I prefer the flat map, but I think the terrain props for forests could be a little denser. And I wish roads stood out more, have to nearly zoom all the way in to see the fuckin dotted line.
>>2206599definitely a bug, I had the same thing happen with only being able to get the union on a secondary participant. God forbid any of those youtubers they paid off tell them such a thing.
>>2206637Surely a long way from his Imperator mana autism and that game flopped hard Hope he never carter to fags that cry about muh quick mana button again
>>2206650People actually wanted mana buttons?
>>2206632>>2206636>>2206639Pretty good, but we need to know the late game performance most of all. Stellaris is runs well in early game as well.
Just called my first parliament bros!This game is definetly the finest of it's genre.Been playing around 3 hours, haven't done anything, going to keep making frens with my neighbors and I'll try and conquer one of my bordering SoP soon. Wonder if I can do it or not idk
Incredibly boring so far, glad I didn't waste money on it.
SIT YOUR ASS DOWN, TRIBALS!
>>2205316>>2206655Yes
Why art no work????
>>2206662Scammed haha
I'm just happy to have finer control over my economy like back in EU3 where I can mint on a dime to adjust as needed.
>>2206662I assume you have tools and stuff in the market, right?
this game is actually good on release WTF
what does increasing local crown power in locations actually do? (counting houses)
>>2206662they are italian
>>2206670Crown power is an efficiency multiplier. You need max crown power to get full benefits from the province.
>>2206645I can afford a new CPU, I just haven't because I would need to change my mobo as well and rebuild my entire PCso it's just laziness and the game runs fine anyways
the map is so beautiful i cant lie
>>2206668>CK3 fused with Vicky 3 but in 10 FPS>Mobile game interface>AI that doesn't work>Good
>>2206673yeah I feel this. I've never actually upgraded a cpu I've always just gotten an entirely new system lol
>>2206676I consider every AI constantly falling into civil war a feature, not a bug.
fucking garbage UI
Ooops turns out I didn't know how to use parliamentGood thing we weren't debating anything important anyways
>>2206673I got away with this last time because I got a 4790K that basically carried me for a decadeThis time I cheaped out and got a 5600X3D and now I suffer
>>2205316>If you are saying your is too complex to play, then that's a mistake. It's an amateurish mistake, because simple design is masterful. Complex design is someone who didn't understand how to make it simple.List all the simply brilliant and brilliantly simple masterpieces this retard designed. By the way, this is what dumbfucks here sound like to me, when they talk about "optimization".
>>2206676AI in paradox games have never been the strong suit tbf
>>2206677for me specifically it's because I wanna get an i5-12400F and since it's 12 gen my mobo isn't compatible (it only supports up to 6-7 gen)so yeah
should i move my levies back to my own territory before disbanding or does it not matter
>>2206686>AI was never good so it's ok for Paradox to ship a bad productMakes sense!
>>2206688As long as it says that they'll return in the tooltip, it doesn't matter
>>2206688AFAIK it doesn't matter
>>2206690>>2206691gotcha, thanks
>>2206689then you do it niggermod it in, show the class
>>2206681Playing as a minor (and especially an isolated minor) is actually way harder in EU5 because you don't have market access to most of the basic resources you need like stone for masonry and sand for glass.The north americans are basically locked in to stone tools because they don't have tin for bronze or iron for steel in their RGOs.You basically need to eat all of your immediate neighbours and start colonizing immediately if you want to scale. Eventually some SOPs will settle around you but you're going to be waiting at least 100 years for that to happen
>>2206689I didn't say it was okay...
irl i hate immigration but in this game i want as much immigration to my capital as possible
>>2206698>anon discovers what jews are doing to his country IRL
>>2206681>>2206694Oh, also fyi: you get everything else you commit to during a parliament regardless of if it passes/fails.i.e. any casus beli, raised taxes, concessions to estates etc. say in place regardless of the outcomeIf you don't care about the initiative itself, you can basically just pick estate backed initiatives in parliament to trade 7 stab for a casus beli/tax raises
>>2206676>>AI that doesn't workThey'll improve it post-launch
>>2206699EU5 doesn't model unemployment.
>>2206702>2 more weeks!
>>2206698Internal migration is goodImmigration is bad
>>2206601The road shit makes no sense. I played a bit as the Ottomans and had to build roads all over western Anatolia, which in real life had been well-developed by the Byzantines during their better years. There would be roads and infrastructure all over the place b the time the Ottomans rolled in.
how do i build le road>>2206705you are right actuallythe migration from the countryside to the city is good, not immigration
>>2206706It's a gameplay buff. Johan probably wants to hand those out sparingly.
>>2206694Everyone around me seems pretty chill desuOnly issue I see myself running into is I will run out of money at some point (though I'm not sure that's going to do anything) and yeah like long term I'm obviously going to be anally raped by the Europeans but it will be more impressive if I stay on this game that long.>>2206701Oh good to know I got my increased Levies at least. I only had 12 warriors to begin with but maybe now I can get like 16 and make my SOP neighbor a tributary easier.Unfortunately I did piss off my noble / chieftain class who are now conspiring with my neighbors but they're my bros so they're all good with me telling them to cut it out
>>2206708Right click on a region and the bottom option is "build road"The UI for this game is completely fucked lol. There's absolutely no logic or consistency to where things are
I have given up on Hawaii. Which more manageable shithole should I play now? I was thinking one of the eastern SEA tags and trying to colonize Australia.
can i play as a building
>>2206693Speaking of AI surely we should be getting to the point now where we can make mods with chatgpt or something similar running natively and playing strat games against us?
https://files.catbox.moe/jkl6mw.webmtrvthnvke
>>2206717Feeling filtered, idiot?
>>2206712>Everyone around me seems pretty chill desuYeah, I don't mean you have to be worried about getting into wars with your neighbours.I mean your economy goes to shit and stops functioning and you're completely unable to build anything because there are no goods in the market and your neighbours/estates keep trying to build buildings which are useless and unprofitable. Since the buildings then require masonry/glass, they fuck over your own industrial strategy and it takes like twice as long to do anything.
Holy molyCK3: 213,890 ticks (867 - 1453, 586 years, with daily ticks)EU4: 137,605 ticks (1444 - 1821, 337 years with daily ticks)V3: 146,000 ticks (1836 - 1936, 100 years, with 4 ticks per day)HoI4: 105,120 ticks (1936 - 1948, 12 years with hourly ticks)EU5: 4,380,000 ticks (1337 - 1837, 500 years with hourly ticks)The grandestof them all!
>>2206717>Dood, let's make a game as complex as possible so that people won't notice brain dead AI and 5 fps performanceWhat happened to Paradox?
>>2206722and yet the world changes less in EU5 than CK2 even
>>2206715Yes, but not an australian
>>2206724CK2 is maybe the paradox game with the biggest map swingsYou should have said vic2 or something
>>2206721Not too worried about it desu. Not in any real hurry, I've got another 500 years to enjoy>>2206724Thats a good thing CK2 maps are totally retarded after like 100 years
>>2206729>CK2 maps are totally retarded after like 100 yearsYou should probably replay it again. AI was improved to the point it can create and keep blobs stable.
>>2206724Is that supposed to be bad? Even then I just got a random claim to the fucking Bulgarian throne as the Byzantines so that's a pretty big swing
how do i play as a school, it keeps telling me to select a country
>>2206736Either buy the school DLC for $20 or get the monthly subscription.
>>2206729>Not too worried about it desu. Not in any real hurry, I've got another 500 years to enjoyFair enough. The RGOs next to Aak'u are actually super good. You start with maize which has really high demand scaling with population and also completely offsets the food cost of industrialising and then within 2 provinces of your capital you already have silver and gold for minting, stone for masonry, tools and weapons and lumber for constructionThe only hard thing is going to be getting the initial tools/weapons you need to start colonizing, but I think there are other ways to do that besides weaponsmiths and tool makers through the villages as long as you have leather
Rat
>>2206741>You need to buy a $20 DLC for this $60 game to workWha the fuck happened?
>>2206713right so i built a gravel road from london to truro because cornwall has 0% control but it's still saying maximum 0% control after building
>>2206747It was a joke anon
i've accidently sent 1/3 of my pop in to an uninhabited land thinking im going to colonize it...
>>2206749can I play as the gravel road that connects London and Truro?
>>2206706>over the place b the time the Ottomans rolled in.lmao that's literally what I'm playing and why I made the complaint, there's one road in all of Anatolia at game start it's really is baffling.The fact that northern Italy doesn't have a road in practically every location makes no sense.
>>2206751For now.
>>2206747Oh boy, you have no clue how EU4 worked, do you? But no, the only DLC so far just adds 8 monuments to the game. They still havent paywalled core game mechanics yet.
>>22067491, Control takes time to build up2. Roads reduce distance proportionately. London to cornwall is probably too far for roads to fully compensate for distance.3. There are lots of other modifiers that reduce control (i.e. culture, rebeliousness, lack of resources etc.) You can check it by mousing over the tooltips in the control mapmode to see the full calculation
Johan secretly added 2 jewish countries into the game and told nobody.
>>2206747$15 for ottomans to conquer anything beyond western anatolia$20 for russia to form$30 for china to reunite after yuansplosionand so on
>>22067602 in Europe and like 144 Daimyo BBCs in Japan
which one bros?
>>2206760Okay this is my game tomorrow (I need to sleep first).
>>2206764fuck them never give up clay
>>2206764I like the look of left
>>2206764Give up naples
I didn't think I would like this game I was skeptical but I have enjoyed it so far unlike victoria 3
Ok, well I was going to try to fight this war but apparently they can raise 123 warriors and I can only muster 12 so nevermind...Good news is we have reached the Renaissance and I think I have writen language now so I'm just gonna keep going for taxation.Bad news is on of my neighbors started blobbing but I'm gonna try to ally them nextShithole bros, never stand down and never surrender!
>start game>3/4ths of the country is completely useless thanks
>>2206771Lmao only 11 good men? how many pop do you have?
>>22067731,836That's what it says up in the top
This is how you win.
>>220677311
I'm going to bedthe game just feels like an endless loop of spamming x buildings, waiting for parliament for casus belli, making sure to keep stability and legitimacy/republican tradition high and making alliances to gank on your enemieseven at speed 5 it runs slow but given the depth of the economy it doesn't get as boring as eu4 didthe UI is absolute fucking garbage, the tooltips appearing everywhere, some icons and numbers too small others too big, unnecessary amount of menusI suspect mods will take a while to deliver but they will be necessary
hello gamersin this game, does it make sense to release a subject who has cores on another country? like how in EU4 it gives you a free CB on thempicrel for example, was thinking of making sardinia a subject so it's easier to manage it
>>2206776>
>shit start date>shit ui>shit ai>shit start date>shit forced CK models/dynasty>shit combat/levies>shit start date>shit trade>shit economy>shit map modes>shit hourly ticks>shit start dateI'd rather go play EU4/CK3.
>>2206779Probably will have an easier time managing the area than you even if just from culture and local rule alone.
>>2206781im still waiting for them to release dlc for ck3 that isnt complete shit
>>2206784I've got no idea about the recent dlc's for that game but at least I can jump in and understand/have fun with it. Same with eu4. 5 is for the unemployed because I can't imagine any sane person wanting to work two jobs and only get paid for their irl one.
>>2206779This game if anything encourages it even harder than EU4 did which already encouraged it a lot. Which is more historical anyway. It takes forever to integrate things and you have limited slots for a ton of different cultures, so the game expects you to use vassals extensively while you wait decades to integrate an area.
>>2206778So the game is dogshit?
Ok I'm going to bedSpent 4 hours fucking around as Nazi Plains Ingen shithole.Couldn't really do anything, couldn't balance my buget, I might be able to finangle my way through a war against my neighbors if I convince my allies to support me but also maybe I can't.I think this game has the potential to be the greatest strategy game of all time. I'm not sure if it is or isn't yet. I can say that playing as Nazi Plains Ingens is pretty boring but I'll probably come back to them tomorrow because I'm genuinely curious as to if I can get them to work or not.No idea if European nations are any better haven't even watched any streams or played them myself outside of the quick speed test I ran as England (also I can say the game has slowed down already just 5 years in but not to a crawl...yet)I think it's extremely similar to Imperator which is a good thing (I liked Imperator) with a better economy system and a bit deeper character focus as well. One issue with Imperator was that it felt pointless to do anything other than blob. Maybe the economy stuff in EU5 will make it feel more fun to develop an economy instead. I doubt the character stuff will ever be fleshed out enough to make it similar to Crusader Kings where the whole dynasty eugenics thing is at least half the fun.My overall impression is it's the best Europa Universalis game of all time, but Crusader Kings is still the game I actually enjoy the most.
>>2206789seems so
>>2206792NOOOOOOOOOOOO
>besiege enemy castle>takes forever for a tick>they besiege mine>5 ticks in the time it takes me to do oneYep, this is EU alright.
scotland insulted me so i decided to annex half their country
>>2206792>Only 80K to playersHoly shit why does no one care about EU?
How do I make money as a 12k pop rural one province minor? It's 1345 and I managed to amass 25 ducats so far. My rival has 40k pops and my current plan is to conquer one of his provinces. I'm increasing my pops with immigration from Italy and a settler deal with one of my fellow swiss allies. But the main issue is buildings, they are so expensive for my current income. What should I build first to increase my income the most when I reach 50 ducats?
>Institutions in our country have discovered: Coin Clipping
>NOOOO, you can not just DECLARE A JUST WAR>You have to lick PARLIAMENT'S ASSHOLE>IN NOVGOROD>IN XIV century>PARLIAMENTLmao, what a shit game, I bet vickyfags love this.
wait I though Poland used to start at war with teutons and bohemia, did they change that?
>>2206798This would've been a banger if it wasn't just a Vic3 reskin.
this is a simulation not your power fantasy chuddy wuddy buddy
>>2206803>Vicky 3 is the most disliked recent Paradox game>DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD LET'S JUST MAKE VICKY 3 AGAIN!!!What the fuck were they thinking???
>Blobbers filtered HARD! Thanks you Johan!
>>2206807JohGODS
>>2206806they literally packaged EU-Imperator-Vicky into one game and you're dooming? it's great
>>2206809He is a EU4tard This games has nothing to do with vicky3 or why people hates that game
you're telling me like 100 years have passed between EU4 and EU5 start dates and literally nothing has happened in Iberia in all that time?
>>2206815Yeah IRL history was based on EU5 AI.
>>2206809Imperator and Vicky3 are the 2 most dead and derelict pieces of garbage they've ever shat out. What are you being excited about, retard.>>2206812Oh look, a vickyfaggot, lmao.
>>2206586I'm going to reinstall the game. Instead of trying to do the tutorial I'm just going to pick a small nation and figure shit out as it comes.
>The blobber still madLmao you lost, go cry on paradox forum with your kinds or sth
Hungarian THUGS are in control
what the hell is with the Balliol situation at the start?Does England even get a chance to help him win? He died in like 3 months in my game and I never got an event or a way to join his side to help. Really fucking dumb
How do I select the name of children born to my dynasty/heirs? They just pop up already named.
>>2206816no fr what the fuck have the spaniards been doing all that time?why are honorary latinx people so lazy
>>2206828Why do you think they're the ones who invented siesta culture?
Is there a way to tell the trading AI not to trade a specific good? Everybody wants dyes so my AI keeps trying to export them but I fucking need them for my local scriptoria, I don't want to turn trade automation off but I want to tell the fucking AI to stop exporting JUST dyes.
>>2206790In someways it is annoying that some of these countries are so hard to play. But also, a lot of it is realistic. It helps ensures these countries aren't random regional powers every game. Paradox does need to make some sort of alternative economic system for these guys later on though so their comparative weakness isn't depicted as a constant death spiral or otherwise something that generates unpleasant numbers.
>Trebizond returns to Constantinoplebeyond based
>>2206823Get a load of this shiteating vickyfaggot, he's mad this trash got lower rating than V3 and dropped a fucking half of players in mere hours. HEY FAG HOW DOES IT FEEL THAT YOU SPREADSHEET GARBAGE BARELY COMPETES WITH 5 YEARS OLD CK5?LMAOOOOOOOOO
With bankers you..... win??
>>2206821I think this time I will:>do the war tutorial last>not worry about the pop ups>try and figure out how tf to make an army>try and figure out how to manage and get more pops>watch some basic guides>get mad and uninstall and then reinstall the game 3-4 more times>finally committ and buy the game>never touch it again becasue it turns out I was jus looking forward to spending money and not actually playing and my brain tricked me into thinking I enjoyed the game becasue it knw I would buy it if I did
>>2206828Portugal terrain is hard to invade and they love chimping out
I saw quite a few reviews, and many negative ones were from hoi4 players/content creators. I genuinely wonder why. Don't get me wrong, I think the game deserves quite a few fixes, but I'm surprised that so many of them hate it. Is it the more sandbox nature? the lack of obvious directions/railroading? >>2206839The one thing I've gotten from seeing streams and tutorials, is to just sort of chug along and not pay too much attention to the notifications. Many of them seem to constantly discourage or say you're doing shit wrong, and then I see streamers and they promptly ignore many of the yellow ones.
>>2206798EU was always the shittiest Paradox series. No one wanted to play it. This is why HoICHADS always win
>>2206843HoI4 is just a bunch of trannies jacking the flesh hole to unfinished mods.
Performance is abhorrent. I played for 6 hours and only just got to 1400. On a 9800x3d.
>>2206842They hate it that there is no quick mana button to make shit happen instantly
>>2206827You’ll need to purchase the “Dynasties and Dreams” DLC i’m afraid
>black death hasn't been in country for years>only still active in like 3 locations thousands of miles away >still get negative events with text implying it's killing my people this is annoying
>>2206848>we shall make a game where you do nothing but sit on your ass as you wait for truces/buildings/mana/whatever >we shall also make the time pass as slowly as possible
It seems this game is a little bit too difficult for some anons. Maybe Civ is more your speed
>>2206827I get a prompt to at least name direct children
Doktor, remove my autism inhibitors.
>>2206854It seems that your spreadsheet snoozefest is unwanted by players, vickyfaggot, try sticking to your autist containment paddock next time.
>>2206862Lmao, dented boy can't figure it out
>>2206830please help my dyes are dying
>>2206801If John Hunyadi had more support from the Hungarian parliament he might have been able to chase the Ottomans out of Europe. Point is monarchs had to deal with this, it's not anachronistic at all. European states weren't centralized until the days of Louis XVI.
>>2206863Shit-eating victoriafaggot autist and his another failed game, lmao.>>2206866What parliament, schizo? What does any of that have to do with XIV century Novgorod, or any Russian principality for that matter?>European states weren't centralized until the days of Louis XVI.Lol. Lmao, even.
Anyone having issues with the production methods swapping on their own? I have access to clay and want my mason to use the clay bricks method, but it keeps swapping back to stone bricks.
Comparing colonizing Madeira as Portugal in EU4>spend 600 diplo mana getting diplo tech>take exploration ideas>spend 400 diplo mana on quest for the new world>spend 50 diplo mana on explorer>explore madeira>spend 400 diplo mana on idea that unlocks a colonist>colonize province>nothing really achieved, colonial range mildly increased so you can do the same again to the next provinceand eu5>spend money on an explorer>he starts gathering goods to launch an expedition>have to keep funding him the entire time>10 years later he finds the sea tile>send him back to discover the island itself>10 years later he's discovered it>finally send a colonist>it's significantly cheaper than the explorer was>actual pops from my mainland manually move there>gets to 1,000 pops>place gets a huge migration attraction>it's not a modifier though, it's simulated through mechanics>biggest part of it is that there's abundant jobs on sugar plantation (all colonists were peasants, so there are 1,000 free jobs to laborers, who work the RGO)>begin selling the sugar to european markets>the second they taste it the demand skyrockets>the only other source of sugar is granada, which is hostile to europe due to religion and culture differences, so won't trade with them>mass expand sugar RGO, it's free money>the sugar trade is already responsible for more of my income than taxes on all estates combinedThere's a lot wrong with this game. Lot of bugs. Lot of broken stuff. Runs slow as shit. But this is without a doubt the greatest grand strategy game ever produced.
>>2206881excellent post
>>2206879By default there's a setting somewhere where it auto-selects what it detects as the most profitable production method. I'm not sure where it is though, or how to turn it off. I just read on the dev diaries that it existed.
My god the empires have mergedthey've fucking merged, the yellow peril is real
>>2206881Yeah Trading monopoly is insanely good, which is how it is irl In EU5 all the systems supposedly work together to the expected result, instead of just press X for Y to happen, which is why many EU4fags are seething
>>2206889I'd be afraid.
>>2206889Dont show this to the Chinese How the hell did this happen anyway
>>2206881>But this is without a doubt the greatest grand strategy game ever produced.Look at this duuuudelook at the top of his chartoh no noNO NO NO*WHEEEEEZE*
>>2206881Been doing this with cocoa. It's already so fucking ludo, all I need are bugfixes and better AI and it'll be golden
>>2206889Magnificent
>>2206893I was in Europe, I don't have a clue
>>2206889wtf is a dongguan?
>>2206901Some town in southern China
>>2206891>Want to colonise Madeira>Play spreadsheets instead of colonising MadeiraThe shit-eating victoriafaggots are really confused about the reason why another game that they've infested is failing so laughably again.
>enter game >click around, try to understand where all the EU4 buttons are now >lose interest and tab out I can't fucking deal with this ADHD shit man, I should be playing the game and yet here I am making this stupid post instead.
>>2206881>MadeiraAfter reading this post I go somewhere else and get an ad featuring the name...
>>2206906>introduce economic complexity to the gameAHHH THE NUMBERS MANA POINTS SAVE ME
>>2206912Stop replying to that faggot, he just want to troll-bait
>>2206910They are all still there for you, just in much more sophisticated and complex forms.
>>2206912>Introduce victoriafaggot spreadsheets to EUNOOO THE GAME IS LOSING PLAYERS HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING TO ME>>2206913Stop smearing your victoriafaggot shit everywhere, victoriafaggot shit eating paracuck. EU3 was never this retardedly convoluted. Not that a victoriafaggot like you would know.
>no bilateral peace dealswhat is even the point of a sequel then
Too much micromanagement for a grand strat game desu, why the fuck am I still building each individual building and personally making sure tools are profitable to produce. Employment manager baka.
are the ticks supposed to be that slow with months taking like10s even on speed 5? It feels like it'd take an insane amount of time to play through the whole thing
>>2206926I really don't know what they were thinking making it check 4 times a day.
Just woke up, time to go back in. Any interesting mods so far?
How do I open this menuI can only open it for some countries by clicking on the tiny country flag that appears when you zoom in, but that flag only appears for some countries
>>2206918this one annoys me a lot. If the ai can't be made to do it, just restrict it to multiplayer.
>>2206930I think it's right click -> open country panel
>>2206930Right click, go to diplo options.
>first game>playing as burgundy>pope calls a crusade>nobody has any fucking boats so me and my fellow french vassals are stuck in france while the king dies in egypt
>>2206936>>2206937Ah I see. Thanks
ok im going to give this shitfest another try.Is there even any point of playing outside of eu or is the ai too shit and the game too anti-blob to have fun that way?
So far it seems like people like it for reasons I'd like it or hate it for reasons I think are invalid. Guess I'll bit the bullet and buy it after work on friday. Dont fail me Johan
I feel like I'm playing victoria
>>2206897Yeah, the bugs are crazy. This honestly feels like it should have been given a 2026 release to really stick the landing.Still though, I was amazed when the colony finished and there was high migration attraction. I thought for sure it would be some immersion breaking "just colonized +200%" bullshit, but it actually simulates why it would be a viable migration target. Ample food, lots of jobs, I really didn't think they'd be able to make a simulation thay actually fucking works.
>>2206943yeah, most of the time spent doing stuff is microing buildings
What the fuck? I just got a separatist rebellion. I defeated them immediately and was just sitting on their forts sieging them down. In the middle of my siege, they just joined another country. What happened???
Is there any reason not to put all taxes on full?>the heckin satisfactiorinoYeah, just lower them if they start threatening to revolt.
>play Dithmarschen>unpause and immediately getting annexed by the overlord>absolutely nothing I can do about it
ok what can i actually do about pirates/privateersthey somehow spawned along the coast of northern norway so its hardly critical, the area is 99% worthless regardless, but i can't seem to actually be able to do anything about it
>>2206949The estates can run out of money, went into a death spiral already because my merchant class was broke and couldn't even issue out loans.
>>2206954>click fleet>click assign mission>click patrol seas>select seas that are infested with pirates
>>2206948They accept vassalization from another country
I got filtered by trying to build military buildingsWhy cant i build it in NEITHER Towns or Rural locations?What building should i even build early onI'm filtered hard
>>2206949Gives you a higher equilibrium which is useful to modify sometimes. There's various scaling bonuses for loyalty. That's about it.
>>22069663 things you should focus asapRoadMarket buildings Buildings that increase crown power
>>2206966>What building should i even build early onnatural resources that sell well and that your pops need, build up the RGOs.
>>2206966You do not understand, you can not start building buildings until you discover the new world, export coffee and sell it to the architect so that he can finally have a runny morning shit and focus on your project instead of his constipation. THIS IS INTERESTING, IT'S GRAND STRATEGY, IF YOU DISLIKE IT YOU MUST BE ONE OF DEM EU4 MANADEVILS
