So the converter is out - anyone have cool saves they'd want to hand over? I kinda accidentally overwrote the save I was supposed to convert. Yaaay.

Do you want the save file to convert or the already-converted file for EUIV?

EDIT: place this in "Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\eu4_export\mod"

Either way is fine, but the latter sounds simpler. What's the world like in that one? Looking for interesting starts here.

The converter is... alright, judging by my one test. It has less features than the fanmade EUIII converter in some aspects (alliances, wars, etc. kept in), but it is polished and easy to use, so. I'll just have to get a proper CK2 game going for it (again, having overwritten the save I would have wanted to convert).

I've played a while with Novgorod, aiming to replicate my GLORIOUS REPUBLICAN RUSSIA from EUIII. Doing pretty well so far - it's been kinda easy, actually. Might kick up the difficulty a notch next time (from Normal).

Anyone have a Sunset Invasion save they could convert?  Or hell could someone convert the Stamford Bridge map (Or maybe even Old Gods) with SI enabled. That actually sounds like a really fun game. A super fragmented Europe with the Aztecs crashing down on Europe. I don't own Sunset Invasion.

I'm playing as Viagrastan right now, pretty fun game. India is looks quite new compared to how East Asia looks.

The only real issue I have so far is how Admin power is superior to the other two monarch powers.

$10 for a save game converter that's usually been made by modders. No thanks.

So far CK2 -> EU3 converters have been absolutely terrible. The EU3 -> V2 was okayish though.

The screens I've seen of the official CK2 -> EU4 converter are pretty sweet though.

[CognitiveDissonance]

Ahhhh damn, I forgot to preorder this

So... how is it?

[Dutchling]

Awesome <3

A bit scary to play as Aragon and see both Castille and France literally 'want to annex you' though >.>

EU4 is pretty damn fun.

Been playing as the Aztecs. Got to level 4 admin tech, took Exploration and nearly instantly maxed it out. Colonial Aztec Empire FTW. Currently creating a core on Tortuga that borders a spanish province, so I can westernize and perhaps not be 12 tech levels behind in every field.

EDIT: Oh shit, Spain just declared war.

[Rakonas]

Does anyone know if westernization is moddable? I want to make westernizing not require being 8 techs behind because even if I can keep up with tech western troops are just magically better and it's silly. Alternatively if there's any way to set tech group/unit type by decision that'd be nice. Nevermind, found it in defines.

Gah, westernization changes your state religion through an event. My entire nation is rebels.

Wait, what? How does that make any sense? Atleast tell me it was some kind of reformed version of the old religion and not just Christianity.

[cerapa]

Straight up catholic. Silliest damn event ever. Even the text was like "Since we are taking on western customs, we might as well convert too." Like you were going to the store to buy some groceries and decided to grab a box of cereal too. Didn't even convert a single province.

After playing for a few hours I'd recommend playing as a bigger nation from the list they recommend first if you're new to the series.

I started off as Norway, which is a vassal of Denmark. It was fairly dull for a very long time. I felt like I should have been reading a book while I was playing. Even with the game speed turned up to max there wasn't much happening. Just a lot of waiting. The game definitely picked up and became more interesting later though. Which is why I'd recommend picking one of the major powers to get your feet wet, so you can get into the game right from the get go.

Wait, so if you're trying to modernize Russia the game will turn you Catholic?

[cerapa]

No, no. Only animism and shamanism are converted.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

No, no. Only animism and shamanism are converted.

That's... Not... Well, hope someone mods that out asap. 

[stabbymcstabstab]

Well I'm fairly happy there only one Christianity in my game, it's funny to see Sicily try and convert their populacy to orthodox.
