Europa Universalis V confirmed

I get several notices every single month people are turning 16 and then I have to go check to see if I care about them. It gets rather exhausting.

And nobody wants to royal marry me since I am a dirty pagan. But I suspect when I play a non-Pagan country that will also be something I have to manage.

In my Ottoman game my dynasty absolutely exploded (doesn't help that every man can have four wives). My fault really, though, since I got them marriages. By the end of the game, practically every major Muslim country was ruled by an Osmanoglu.

As Ottoman, aren't you supposed to kill all your brothers when you ascend?

From a post on their forums about "the released state of the game being unacceptable in 2025":

In a section complaining about the UI:

For a series known for complex but functional interfaces, this is honestly embarrassing.

Huh. Maybe I am clueless as to what is out there but I thought EU5 was pretty good at release. Obviously there is a lot to sort out and learn but compared to previous EU games I thought it was fine.

What a noob.
Doesn't he know that buying a Paradox game on release means buying in to the open beta test?

Don't worry guy, 2026 is just around the corner.

I think I might give this a patch or two before going back to it

Smart move.  I'm targeting around 1.11 or 1.12.  That's the usual sweet spot.

Yes but the second cousins flood the court.

I kept getting the "claim throne" CB on various countries throughout the game. And near the end I ended up inheriting the Yemen-Somalia union. I'm the Turkish Habsburgs.

Anyway, yesterday's patch fixed many bugs but broke levies badly. Now they just get massacred by regulars at an insane ratio. Whoever gets Professional Armies first wins the game.
