Europa Universalis V confirmed

[Valmy]

So as Lithuania my high maintenance BFF Poland wants some of my land. Probably fine. I have tons of worthless land. But nowhere can I find what land those kielbasa eating bastards want. I am completely at a loss. It's so frustrating.

So I took this to the Paradox forums. It was crazy to see my ancient account right there waiting for me.

Anyway nobody has an answer to this so I guess...you just have to put up with the diplomacy hit. The interface currently doesn't seem to tell you what land your neighbors want from you. I miss being able to see who considered my land a core in EU2.

Also as much fun as I am having the game still...progresses....so slowly. Like I doubt I will make it to 1500 in most of my games. That remains my biggest problem in post-EU2 Paradox games. I miss just being able to breeze along if not much is happening.

And give me a 1492 start please. Or even a 1454 one. As fun as all the chaos this 1337 start is, I doubt the Ottomans, and Muscovites are going to emerge consistently as great powers from their wimpy starts. Even Austria has a long hill to climb. While I don't know how things are going out in Xanadu, I have a feeling that the Ming are also not going to consistently overcome the Yuan. And the Mughals? LOL. Timur has yet to be born, much less become lame. It is just going to be a weird alt history world each time. Only France, Spain, and England are likely to consistently emerge as great powers.

Valmy, I agree, I think th early start date is by far the weakest point of the game.

Let's say that after the very land-based Hungary game I want to explore the new world. Sure, I just need to build up Portugal for a 100 years and then I can go. I have passed like 40 years in my current game, took me a couple of days.

That's what I said.     Not my job to make Paradox games work.  HOI4 and EU5 are the only ones I recall crashing to desktop in the last 10 years or so.

Someone was having issues on another forum.  They said they updated their bios and it fixed the issue. Why, no idea. But too late now.

I had similar problems with Victoria 3 , but left it on my pc and when I came back, some months later it was fine. HOI4 was always fine though 
 EU5 I'm on 32 hours now and just that one crash, possibly I have a similar pc to Johan's

Finally found some time to play. Started as Holland. It's daunting. So many different things going on. I guess I will have to learn system by system.

Get high control in provinces. Keep crown power over 25%. Nepotism is good. Build roads and patrol coasts. Stay under your diplomat capacity.

Um...yeah there are some tips.

In EU5 you need to promote family values...and by values I mean members.

Why?

Why?

Because you get massive bonuses to the Crown Estate for doing so.

Good to know. So you're saying make family members generals, cabinet ministers etc, right?

Exactly!
