Ah espionage. I find it quite useful no matter how big your country is. Your rivals will always want to spy on you and sabotage you, it works well with religious ideas if you must expand into heretic or heathen lands, helps you considerably if you're a privateer nation trying to disrupt a nation's economy, when you're small it evens out the playing field with larger neighbours and when you're large it lets you turn your treasury into hideously large volumes of loyal rebels. It does usually end up with your neighbours hating you, but where's the harm in that if they cannot harm you?

Don't look at me like that.

You're a monster!

Next you're going to say development isn't broken, regencies are a good mechanic and the random new world is fine as it is.

Culture mechanics are ok

Lucky France actually seems to do pretty badly if Austria and Castile both rival it.

Not if Roflemans roll through Vienna

I see France implode roughly half of the time, far more so than Ming.

So do I, but I also tend to put pressure on them if I live nearby. I still remember the days when it was common to see massive hordes of Frogs swarming over everything until they run up against the Commonwealth (or Russia), the Channel, and the Turk.

I am most disheartened when the Catalans are absorbed by the French before they are absorbed by the Castilians. Even if the Castilians successfully form Spain and conquer Iberia, there's an unusual colony of Frenchies left behind on the wrong side of the mountains

cossacks looks like an amazing expansion. probably my favorite expansion thus far for EU4, simply because peace time is terrible in the game. The expansion looks like it will almost in a way be like CK2, where there is always things to do, even in peace.

I know what I'm getting next month

Now the "fun" part...wanting to play eu4, but not playing it cause the dlc will make my save broken. but then still have to wait for extended timelines to update xD so I have extra waiting on top of dlc release to play lol

ah well, good to take a break every now and then

Sometimes, they don't even need player interaction to do so. And, for some reason, I often see Ming not implode despite its reputation.

For instance:

The recent patch increased the aggressive expansion penalty.  France gets into a war with someone like Savoy, takes a few HRE provinces and has a coalition after them.

New dev diary. We can now threaten nations and give cores/claims to vassals.

[MrRoboto75]

Base game feels like swiss cheese with all these expansions adding such basic things
