Europa Universalis IV announced

[Jaron]

This just in: EU4 sucks.

[garbon]

Then don't eat territories you can't afford to keep.

Right?

[DGuller]

No way can I afford a ducat / fort every 2 provinces after eating half of Africa.

There's your problem.

[Josephus]

I actively hate how the forts work out in practice.  Every pissant rebel gives 10 years of nationalism to your conquests every 2-3 years...

You're supposed to have interior forts too.

You don't have to though. I have a fort every few provinces, scattered about. yes in a war you can lose them easily, but the enemy has to seige nearby forts in order to claim them in a peace deal.

I was trying to core Africa at like 10% costs by leaving the Mamelukes with 2 provinces separating them from the rest of the Ottoman Empire.  Probably should reestablish the connection and then see what happens.

As per the original comment, my problem is just dealing with the fucking nationalist rebels continually adding nationalism by insta-sieging a province.

While entirely cosmetic, I like that they are bringing back regional naming when you own significant areas of land in non-contiguous areas.

Might be an extension from a CK game that had that silly Sunset Invasion DLC?

Nah, likely, as the DD sort of advertises, just away of showing the different times of names that will show depending on if area, region or super region (or whatever they called that).  After all, rest of Europe looks like standard 1444 start.

Might be. But some people really get into the whole 'Native Americans colonize the Europeans' thing. You have to admit it is really hard.
