Europa Universalis IV announced

[Syt]

What is Johan doing wrong?

Dunno, but the last two major releases that he seems attached to (Imperator: Rome, and the EU4 DLC which was a year in the making) were released in a bit of a woeful state.,

[Tamas]

Judging by the EU4 forum, the HRE stuff has been fixed but what hasn't is AI nations seemingly absolutely unable to manage their economy, spiralling into such debts that make them inactive.

[Solmyr]

HRE is an all-devouring monstrosity in CK2 already (at least if you start in 1066), makes sense they brought that to EU4 as well.

[crazy canuck]

Never buy on release, never buy on release, managed to actually do that with this DLC

[Valmy]

Even if you don't buy the DLC you still get most of the problems associated with it patched in for free!

[crazy canuck]

Bonus!

[Caliga]

So they've been patching the shit out of it... is it playable yet?

On the forum they still complain about a deadly AI debt spiral that almost all countries enter, stopping most wars before 1600

[Caliga]

Cool, I'll hold off.  Thanks for the intel.

[Josephus]

In my first game with new DLC, I don't really notice a lack of wars. What I do notice, though, is a very weak HRE, nominally led by a small one or two province nation. In the wars I've fought where the tooltip says "Country X is in the HRE and the Emperor will likely join the war,", the emperor never does.

Edit: Take it back. I am beginning to see a lack of non-colonial wars, starting in the mid 1600s

So P'dox went on holiday after releasing the latest expansion/patch but then decided it would be a good idea to have a content designer put out DD's about additional re-work that will be done to Southeast Asia.

Looks like the content designer and mods are getting to work overtime reminding people that he's a content designer and unable to fix any bugs.

Yeah who thought that was a good idea?

The forum is full of outcry over how broken the game is, which gets promptly ignored, while the only staff active on the forum posts "yay, we are reworking SE Asia yay!".

Currently playing 1.30 with Venice and I really enjoy it. So far, I am in the 1540s and have more or less destroyed the Ottomans and reached hegemony in Northern Italy. But Austria, France and the Man like are a threat.

Like stick it to him.

But is Chico a threat?
