Once it become westernized Poland become stronger then Austria.
That's like saying that something ahistorical like Revoke the Privilegia/Renovatio Imperii makes Austria overpowered.

I guess I'll give Poland a try, I don't think I ever played them in any of EU games.  Can you still bank admin points right before Westernization?  :hmm:

no, you can't even start amd buildings and cancel them to get adm points back

I suggest saving up money and paying for the 3 level adm advisor hoping to get a +1 stab event for  him

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Never played Poland either. Not sure what their strategic goal in the game is. Most countries have an obvious goal for the first 100 or 200 years. I guess forming the Commonwealth might qualify, but as you can get a personal union with Lithuania almost immediately, that's fairly easy to achieve I guess.

I am talking multiplayer point of view and as far as I see Poland is too strong.
Anyway I never saw  the Revoke the Privilegia in a multi game.

Played Poland, got the Commonwealth about 125 years in.  Very peaceful game so far, none of the neighbors really wanted anything from Poland.  I wish Paradox wouldn't straight-jacket the game so much to get historic outcome.

Though to be fair, if the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was big enough and competently administered I think it could have been left well enough alone.

QuoteWelcome to the third Developer Diary for Europa Universalis IV: Conquest of Paradise. As you probably know by now, we've decided to postpone the launch of the expansion, now targeting early next year. The main reason for this is that with the success of Crusader Kings II and Europa Universalis IV, we at Paradox Development Studio have leveled up both in our expectations of ourselves and the demands of our fans. We could have finished this on time and even with the quality we are now used to. That is no longer enough – we want more. So for us on the team, this means that the basic production plan for the expansion stays fixed - but we've added lots of extra time for polish and tweaking.

:D

Also looks like they added a shit-on of North American native states. 20 to be precise.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

He has twice now managed to land large armies in britain, despite being outnumbered at sea. Now france is trying to join the dissection. Meanwhile we were having massive naval battles with 400 ships total involved in malaya. The interesting thing this session were the wholesale re-arrangement of alliances. I'm still a bit confused about who is allied to whom.
