That and the fact massive whining occurred on the forums IIRC. Honestly, though the AI needs a rework to judge overseas provinces, yeah. At least so that colonizers actually do shit besides colonize the Americas. A mission to get a province in india and indonesia works I suppose, but if a colonizer wants to actually do anything there it'll never work out.

Another gripe unrelated to that. Canton and Macau are the worst border wise. Why can't Hong Kong be a separate province. Even if it only became relevant after the end of EU IV. It just looks ugly otherwise :c

Spain is finally driven out from West Africa. I needed the help of Almighty Big Blue Blob and Ottoderps, but I managed to ruin Spain's day. Behold, Great Moroccan Empire!



P.S That big black blotch in Southern Africa is a Spanish colony.

This pales in comparison, but uh. My Morroco seems to be doing the same, albeit in spain instead of elsewhere. Bonus pet granada and other oddities!

Start as England.
Five years after start BBB gets a PU over Castille (also, I have never seen the iberian wedding actually succeed and it only triggered once in around six attempts).
Sixty years later they still have that PU.
FML.

That's the worst. It's not quite Franco-Iberia level, but in my first 1.19 beta game France vassalized Anhalt and went ham conquering all the german minors nearby while the current emperor was swamped in too much debt to care. Soon afterwords the Commonwealth got a PU over a blobbed Brandenburg. Germany ended up being a playground for giants that game, was kind of weird being next to Denmark and having french Brandenbourg and Polish Cleves threatening your livelihood.

So, I'm preparing to buy DLC during cyber monday. Are any DLC bad? And what are all the non-music/icons one? I just want good gameplay changes.

All of the stuff under "expansions" is actual content and not music/textures/etc. Res Publica is "bad", very little content in it. Conquest of Paradise is pretty bad if you aren't going to play one of the natives in the new world.

The rest are more or less fine. Just make sure you are grabbing Art of War and Common Sense no matter what. The game is pretty incomplete without those two.

In my 1.19 test game as Ottomans, I saw first AI bankruptcy. Interesting thing is that it happened after long, bloody coalition war against me ended, not when it was still going on.




*insert horrible pun about hunger and Hungary here*

And yea, here's mandatory first impressions about 1.19 open beta:

• Small countries are doomed against big guys due to removed combat width penalty. It's much easier to stackwipe outnumbered enemy.
• New fort system is much more confusing in 1.19 because UI doesn't show you where you can go and where you can't go.
• UI improvements aren't noticeable for me at all, but thanks for overall missionary power tooltip.

Verdict: A mixed bag with more bad than good, but it's open beta, to be fair. Paradox forums are full of rage about AI spamming forts in every province possible, but the only area with forts everywhere in my game is Northern Italy.

i personally bankrupted ming in my last game

i was trying so hard to make them implode, but they managed to hold onto the mandate of heaven all the way through 1821

As someone who only has EU4 with no DLCs. What are the "must-haves" to get when they go on sale? It looks like there is a lot of DLC, and I wouldn't be able to afford them all even on a steam sale.

Art of War, Common Sense, The Cossacks, and Rights of Man are the four most important, in no particular order. If you have these four, you have 99% of all the content in the game. Unless you play a native tribe you're very rarely going to interact with anything in the other DLCs.

Thanks! I'll make note of them for the next Steam sales. I'll get El Dorado too, since I think that makes playing in the New World better, correct?

El Dorado gives extra mechanics to Aztecs, Incans, and Mayans.

Uh-oh! Due to the extinction of Catholic nations in HRE and (ironically) Catholicism being the official faith of HRE, England became Emperor!




P.S I will die from laugh if Spain will be Emperor one day.

P.P.S Anyone else noticed that in 1.18/1.19 Protestant/Reformation Faith consumes HRE too fast? I even have Protestant Austria!
