Europa Universalis IV announced

[Josephus]

I loaded a slightly earlier version of my save and disabled all mods, and it seems to be working now.

In my first game as Spain, France had no difficulty annexing the usual suspects, it also was able to gobble up Province through the new mechanic.

I have played a bit of Spain, France and England.  Well mostly Spain.  I like the new mission trees for each of them.  The English Parliament has more to do now as well.  It's a good refresh, and could have been part of the next iteration of EU.  Which makes me wonder what the future holds for this game.

Did you choose the 1492 start, then?

No, the first start date.  I have never tried a game with a later start date.  Paradox may regret having poured resources into creating historically accuratish game starts that few people use.

History is just "EUIV lore" now

[Solmyr]

I would say Paradox Universe lore, since it stretches over several games.

Reddit is going wild with it, now there is a bunch of "EUIV Lore questions".

So did you play as Castille or Aragon?

re start dates. That's one thing they have pretty much stopped doing since EUIV and if there is a EUV, I doubt they would do it again.
I don't mind the 1492 start, since most of the majors have formed by then.

Castile.

I am now more into my Ottoman game, its the late 1400s and France has yet to do anything to form - including booting the English out.  Not sure what has gone wrong.

In my Ottoman game, France has pretty much crushed the English and taken over the French areas. It's also been my steadfast ally and together we destroyed Austria and Castile.

How do you play so much. I'm still in my France game. Late 1700s.
I don't normally play this far. I find the revolutionary period very chatoic.

I don't play that much, most of my games rarely make it much into the 1600s.  I left my Spain game somewhere in the 1500s.  Once you get the early wins in terms of objectives, the rest of the game feels like just going through the motions.

My Ottoman game is now into the 1500s and France has formed, except for the odd bit that the English holdings have been left alone.

So correct  me if I'm wrong, but the new DLC is a podcast     

[Zanza]

Next immersion Pack DLC announced with the name "King of Kings", focusing on the Middle East as expected.

Also, various tags in the area will be able to form Persia now, and there are some flavor events depending on who you were before becoming Persia.
