Europa Universalis V confirmed

[crazy canuck]

Yeah, I would have much preferred they stayed with the game on release and addressed patches and DLCs in due course. That is what the community has come to expect.  This whipsawing of changes and then changes to changes has been problematic. 

They had a good stable (DG aside) game on release.  Call that a win and move on to the first planned DLC and address all the balance issues then.

At least for me the game is no longer stable and the game constantly crashes now.

I'm parking the game for now. Will check back inn March once they're back in the office and have settled on how they want the in-game systems to work and have ironed out the bugs. There's a gem buried under the jank though.

There is one issue now that is ruining the fun. The constant "so and so is 16 years old now" spam. I am getting one of those every two days. In addition to the So and So can be educated alerts. It's gotten annoying. I am ignoring them, which I know is probably not wise.

The education thing is annoying since the administrative option is the best. It would be better just to give the option of choosing a default rather than the balanced education being preselected as the default.

I think there is a mod to deal with the marriages.

Oh my, more example of Johan being too jittery to handle the pressures of a major franchise:

Community relations have never been one of his strengths.

The character system just doesn't work.

You need to get a large court but the large court really sucks and is boring to manage AND it is really important you manage it. Because you need those 90+ skilled generals and cabinet members. Also 99% of your court does not have any role to play at all. So you spend a ton of time managing something that you only get an in game impact for 1% of it.

And it is constant. Every single month. It is a constant distraction from the more interesting things you need to do. This should be automated or changed in some way. And it is way to easy to successfully manage. In CK I constantly had to worry about betrayals and mass death of my courtiers. I was usually scrambling to find enough nobles to to rule counties and duchies and fill important posts and marry. And key deaths could be devastating to your game. Now...you have hundreds and hundreds of people and only a couple matter or do anything.

Yeah man. So many times back in the EU2 days I would find myself thinking "Damn Johan, what the hell is your problem?" dude should probably not be customer facing.

Yeah sometimes just let the design guys design.

I am on the 1.09 patch (Lepanto), and there is much weirdness going on. Like how all my military buildings were gone after loading an ironman save.

It does seem like proximity and control are not working. Only a few people understand how trade works, I certainly do not.

The premise is so good. Pity about the execution lately. I don't really want 10 patches per month, that all change some basic mechanic that I finally understood.
