Europa Universalis V confirmed

[Legbiter]

Just blame the Serbs!

I wonder if I ran into a bug. I started a parliament session and then added as an additional agenda a law change request. This tanked the success chance of parliament, like to 5% and it failed eventually. But still, the implementation of the law has triggered, without the 99 stability hit that you'd get trying to push it through without parliamentary approval. I am pretty sure this isn't how it is supposed to work.

I think that's how it's supposed to work.  You use up your political capital on changing the law, and not enough was left for the original agenda item.  The additional items are not tied to the original agenda.  That was one of the few things I figured out in my 7 hours of playing.

Ah, makes more sense, thanks.

Can I raise all my levies and move them directly to one spot; like I think you could do in CK?

Yeah there is a button called gather to strongest army or something and all your levies will go to the same place and merge into one army.

So I finally made it to the 1450s. This game is great, you always feel like you are just on the verge of doing something really cool. But holy shit it plays slow. I feel like I played those 120 years in real time.

Also the Renaissance ENDS right now? Dang I thounght it had barely gotten going by then.

So while I think this game is really good it seems unlikely I am going to really be able to explore its possibilities. It seems like EU2 was the last game you could really experiment and try different regions and game play styles. In EU5  the time commitment is just too crushing.

It really should come with a meal plan and an unemployment benefit, yes.

I've got 24 hours of playtime (in six days---sigh)...I'm at 1430 now. So yeah, game moves slowly.
I really, really, wish they will include a later start in a future DLC.

So I am learning most of the mechanics (though I'm playing with automated trade), although not up on most of the strategy (ie. no idea why I do things,I just do.).

Had no crashes or anything so far, but I do find little niggly things annoying. Stuff that's hard to find for instance, without clicking several maps or tabs; and stuff that isn't properly explained.

For instance:
I am playing as Naples and want to form an alliance with Hungary.
There is a green check mark, my positives are higher than my negatives.
But there is a red X in a box for "our diplomatic status allows the creation of an alliance with Hungary"
I don't know why this is. we are in a royal marriage , not sure if that matters. Also i have plenty Dip capacity

26 hours, I am in 1447,my first game where I went past 1350, although a couple of hours was just me leaving the game on, paused.

Maybe it's a good thing. Paradox games were always the best before you figured them out. This one is going to take a LONG time to figure out.

Yeah. The lack of tool tips for reasons you cannot do things drives me insane.

I'm about 20 hours in. I've done 20 years as Kyiv, trying to build my economy. I tried to expand via war, but overlooked that in the peace deal some of the lands went to my allies, creating unseemly bordergore.

I've tried Brandenburg, but man, what a mess. You hardly have any money, plus many divers cultures who don't like each other. My first attempt ended after a short while because I had mismanaged both my diplomacy and internal politics and it went up in flames. I tried to be more conservative the second time around, but while trying to build something resembling an economy,  I ended up being the junior partner in a union with the fellow Wittelsbachers in Bavaria.
