Europa Universalis IV announced

[Syt]

Syt, I think what happened is you didn't wait for the truce with Granada to end before you attacked (the game starts with a truce in place).  As a result, when you attacked you took a big stability penalty and that explains all the rebellions.

Otherwise, you had a start I have never seen playing as Spain.

Nope, I did wait for the truce to expire (I'm not *that* inexperienced ). I think what did me in was the expulsion of the Moriscos which dumped me to -1 stab, and my shitty king (who I didn't disinherit at the start of the game), leading to the civil war.

Yeah, that would do it.

In a display of originality, EUIV is getting monuments the latest cribbing of CK2's wonders.

Imperator announced the same in their dev diary

EDIT: to be fair, the one in Imperator looks a bit more involved:

The Castilian Civil War is a common occurrence in the first decades. But if you know what to expect it is easy to win...

[Syt]

So I went back to the save game, managed to consolidate my debt and increase estate loyalty by selling monopolies (which will probably bite me in the ass later ), took back Granada, embraced the Renaissance and discovered America. Unfortunately, Portugal dragged me into a war with Moroccs that the Mamluks joined. So there's been a stand off between my 35k troops on one side of the Street of Gibraltar and 70k Muslims on the other side for the past years (I looked at signing a separate peace, but the terms aren't pretty).

And feels like it makes more sense than this:

[Tamas]

I haven't checked but is this going to be one of those "press new button to receive rewards with no downside" DLCs?

[Maladict]

And feels like it makes more sense than this:

It wouldn't be the first time Stonehenge was relocated

It may have been built in Wales first, then moved to Wiltshire.


edit: also, building an ebony and ivory lighthouse in an inland Etruscan city, really?

So relevance to EU4?

If anything like the CK2 version, just a place to put excess money for some small benefits.
