Hmm, limiting electors to monarchies doesn't represent the EU very well. Surely Angela Merkel should be empress.

So I splurged and got the new expansion.  I'm already pissed/disappointed in the new "custom nation" tool.  It's limited by a point system and you can't simply edit existing countries.  Also, the flag options suck. <_<

Me too, went with Castille. The new exploration gimmick isn't making things less tedious, the opposite actually. So much clicking. :( Land exploration is easier though, and the hunt for the cities of gold is mildly amusing.

Apparently Arumba (a YouTuber, often teaming up with quill18, he likes to Min/Max things and numbercrunch) threw a hissy fit on his stream yesterday about how P'dox snuck in an AI cheat for attrition in the new patch and got really annoyed with them.

Turns out it was a bug. There's a hotfix now, together with a few other things:

Quote- Japanese Daimyos no longer start at high liberty desire in 1444.

- After Privilegia is revoked, Imperial vassals will no longer have hundreds of liberty desire from relative power to liege.

- AI now gets the correct amount of attrition.

- Manual exploration is now enabled for everyone.

- Fixed a bug that was causing countries warning you to be called in even when not declaring war on their neighbours.

- Europe will now properly get tradegoods in Custom Setup.

- Fixed some inconsistencies in Aggressive Expansion between tooltip and actual effect.

- Disabled most nation forming decisions for Custom Nations to prevent player-made AI nations from tag switching.

- Consolidate Regiments button will correctly enable to let you maximize the number of full strength regiments (as it was before).

QuoteFree EU4 Add-on Brings the Great Women of History

STOCKHOLM – The pages of history books are filled with the stories of great men – but also great women: artists, authors, councilors, and rulers. WouldTenochtitlan have fallen without the language skills of Malinche guiding Cortez? Had the reign of Edward IV not been cut short by illness, wouldEngland have still ruled the seas, deprived of the strong hand of Elizabeth I?

To mark International Women's Day (March 8th) Paradox Development Studio has created a free update for Europa Universalis IV, adding 100 great women of history to the game. Each character can be generated through event triggers (a weak regency, a colonial empire, certain ideas, etc.). Players will then have choices about how to use this talented woman. Some may join your court as advisors, some might be suitable for riskier employment as rulers or leaders.

Thomas Johansson, the head of Paradox Development Studio, says that this DLC does something important for the company's flagship title. "It's no surprise that the role of women in history isn't as well known as that of men," Johansson says. "Europa Universalis, admittedly, hasn't done a lot to foreground their contributions. We thought that International Women's Day was the best time to do a little bit to help balance the scales and introduce our audience to some very interesting people." The DLC will contain the following features:
•One Hundered new events for important women in history such as Queen Elizabeth I, Caterina Sforza and Sophie Germain.
•Female advisors can appear at your court in place of their male counterparts.
•Female portaits for all 22 advisor types in the game.

The Women's History DLC is free for all Europa Universalis IV players and will be available on March 8th, 2015.

One hundred events for Elizabeth I?  Finally a game my wife could get excited about.

I am only surprised they did not have female advisors before.

Well the DLC is free, so the worth of getting it or not is moot, and patch 1.11 is also due to be made available on Sunday.

With this revival of dev diaries every week, it sounds like Johan is going at EU4 with an aim of completely re-working how the game plays...:hmm:

Which makes it really difficult for those of us who aren't immersed in the game and don't play it every day. No sooner do you get the rules, then he changes them around.

The new ones with the forts may make taking territory unnecessary difficult i think

I wish I didn't read dev diaries, I don't want to play the game until the fort and combat changes are in.

Common Sense seems like a kinda funny name for an expansion. :D
