Here's Poland. 70 dynamic historical events and 21 unique things (advances/units/etc).
For comparison, the most content-rich countries (England, France, Castile, Ottomans) can can a number of historical events approaching 200. The number of unique things is pretty typical.

Last post by celedhring - Today at 05:13:11 AMI remember when we used to go on daytrips with my school and in hindsight the movies they played were probably not too adequate for a bunch of 10ish year olds - we all loved them mind. One of the memories of my childhood is half the bus screaming when the goon falls into the toxic waste in RoboCop

Last post by Tamas - Today at 04:06:32 AMPretty cool story here: https://www.reddit.com/r/EU5/s/9TLQrns0nl
As I understand the guy built a super powerful Venice, having his market control Italy and Central Europe, to the degree that the AI Italian small states all turned themselves into cities and specialising into what sold on the market, importing food from the other parts of the Venetian market. Which worked swimmingly until Austria and Bohemia started some huge war devastating food stockpiles to the degree that Venice was paying like 800 a month for food imports at some point, going from being absolute awash in cash to almost going bankrupt.
Pretty cool.

Last post by Richard Hakluyt - Today at 02:31:29 AMQuote from: Zanza on November 12, 2025, 03:41:55 PMI have a new machine now, but EU V does something that causes the GPU or CPU fans to rotate at maximum speed. No other game I tried (Stellaris, Civ 7, Victoria) does this. It's super annoying as my computer is then very loud.
I wonder if you have frames per second capped? I have vsync turned on (60fps) to avoid that. In other games i have experienced what you describe and discover ludicrous rates like 217fps are flogging the GPU to death and providing no useful performance for me.

Last post by Sheilbh - November 12, 2025, 07:16:21 PMFFS 
FT reporting that Jonathan Powell, Starmer's National Security Advisor (a nonsense job that should be go rid of), has secretly been contacting the Kremlin to build covert dialogue with Putin over Ukraine. This was apparently without informing the Foreign Office or the Cabinet. Powell was, incidentally, the guy implicated in the collapse of the trial of Chinese spies because the government wouldn't give evidence that they considered China a threat.
(Not fully sure I believe the line that no-one in the Cabinet knew...)

How are things like... historical events or missions or whatever? Is there some actual flavor you're seeing in the game popping up throughout the years?
Playing as Castille there are a lot of historical event choices that are popping up. As Tamas says the number varies by country, and you can see that in the country selection phase.
