I think this patch is a strong attempt from them to stop the slide of the game into Advanced Risk For Multiplayer Mappainters, trying to turn it back into a historical game direction. Will be interesting to see if they manage, or if they will crumble under the QQ storm of powergamers.

Yeah I kinda feel like this might bring the game back in a fun direction, particularly as Tamas notes for single player / historically minded. :)

The DLC features seem pretty underwhelming. I guess I'll skip this one as well. Maybe I'll pick it up on one of those 75% off steam sales.

the last expansion promised so much but ultimately left me cold.
I dont think its eu4 that is the problem but the same limited history and nations again and again

We do need some MP, yes. When is the Languish game finally happening?

I wonder if there are any statistics on the single/multiplayer percentage of the players.

I'm not really happy about the new peace negotiations. Twice I've had an alliance leader give me an OPM I had sieged, but I didn't want it, it was far away from me, and I hadn't ticked the can negotiate for me box (must be a bug).

Damn. I saw a lot of posts about France being a terror in 1.6 but apparently it wasn't in my new attempt to pick up EU4. I just started playing this again after a long while and decided to play as England.

Managed to smack down most French forces in Bearn but was too weak to take out all of their forces so peaced in HYW for cession of Labourd and giving up my claim on Armagnac. I was just going to bide my time building up my forces during the truce when Connacht insulted me and I figured why not build up some additional prestige.

I didn't realize but they were allied with Scotland who foolishly declared war on me. I was able to get my ally Castile to join in which saw me vassalizing Scotland shortly thereafter.

Meanwhile France started getting eaten by Burgundy (though AI made peace for just France losing a vassal) as well as distracted by a war started against it by Provence.  Seeing my opening, I declared war on France for Labourd and when I pulled in my allies had this coalition against France:

England, Aragon, Austria, Castile, Hungary, Naples, Navarra, Portugal, Salzburg and Scotland.

We currently have taken control of southern France and are moving northwards. Is it too soon to call France stillborn? :unsure:
