Europa Universalis IV announced

[Viking]

I asked about a trade node and trade rout generator for the new world and if that could be used to generate a dynamic trade node and rout system.. but no answer.

That would be a DLC I would definitely purchase.

I doubt that. As they leave the provinces etc. untouched, I bet they'll leave the graph with all nodes and edges as it is and just move the nodes a bit on the map. So Chesapeake will still forward its trade to England and France etc.

Dynamic trade routes is definitely something I'd love to see in a future DLC, but I doubt it is in this one.

Pretty neat.  The EU games always reminded me of Imperialism 2 a lot, and this seems a nod in that direction.  Love that game.


Also, pro-tip; when playing on hard AI level, always have defensive idea.  Playing as the French I wanted an offensive, quality-based army that would avoid sieges, but I'd always end up fighting a coalition of uber-Austria and United Spain-Portugal and having to pay 2,000+ ducats with a warscore of +50!  It's absurd.  I'd never encountered this before, because as Russia getting defensive is a no-brainer, and the Dutch have a natural Siege advantage.

That "strength of alliance" score count is a killer.  They might have 100k soldiers in Latin America, but my complete fucking blockade of Spain should rule out any intervention by that.

[Queequeg]

Actually, just avoid Hard AI all together.  It's never fun having to fight constant massive coalitions. 

[Sophie Scholl]

Pumped for this expansion.  I've always wanted to play as the Iroquois, but it was always boring as hell.

I think the warscores are still bugged.I had a same issue playing as Russia when Ottoman-Spain-Burgundy alliance attacked me becouse of I was conquering nomads.I defetaed them in several batlles and reached the 50 warscore and in the end I had to pay for them to make peace because I run out of manpower.

That's what Hitler said in 1942.

[Razgovory]

He was save scumming until in 1941 then he figured he could just wing it.

First feature : randomized map generator for the New World. No more racing to get to Chesapeake.

I'm not excited about this. After all, they'd already randomized the goods - I think just more dynamic trade nodes would have been good enough.

Also, what does that mean for that DLC they had about American events. Does the USA still form anyway?
