Last post by Josephus - November 13, 2025, 05:31:20 PMSo I finally hit 1492, the year I would really wish Paradox would bookmark
As it stands for the Original 7 majors:
England is normal, even owning a couple provinces in Calais.
France is also normal
As is Sweden
But Iberia is a bit of a mess, and no Spain
Austria is smaller but acceptable. HRE always tends towards Bohemia though
No Russia
Ottomans is maybe half the size it should be
Also the Kingdom of Hungary is the most dominant country in eastern Europe

Last post by viper37 - November 13, 2025, 04:54:56 PMHow do I stream the game on Sunday?
I check CFL+, however, I can't seem to find anything related to the game itself. It says international fans can stream the game if they sign up for it, but even if I connect with a US VPN, I don't see the game itself showing up.
Ideally, I would have preferred something in French as my friend is much less fluent than I am and I'd like to have him over rather than going to his place.

Last post by Valmy - November 13, 2025, 04:53:27 PMI noticed the Ottomans were called "The Kingdom of the Ottomans." I found this very confusing. Then I clicked on them. They had converted to Orthodoxy 
Not even the most deranged alt-hist freak would talk about what would happen if the Ottomans had embraced Orthodoxy. Paradox has make sure totally deranged things like that would ever happen.
Now maybe Bulgaria just really kicked their ass and forced converted them during a war but I don't think so.

Last post by Tamas - November 13, 2025, 04:50:18 PMI wish the AI was better at war though. It's 1502, my Hungary is surrounded by small vassals I created. Ottos are nowhere near their historical size, I just roflstomped Venice's Balkán holdings with zero trouble. When the bigger patch lands next week I will probably start a new game.

Last post by The Minsky Moment - November 13, 2025, 04:20:16 PMJD Vance
Vance is referring to the Immigration Act of 1924, one of the most overtly racist pieces of legislation ever passed after the Civil War. The Act effectively cut off all immigration from Asia, limited immigration from Italy and Eastern Europe and gave preferred to migrants from the British Isles and northern Europe. The law was drafted based on input from Harry Laughlin, a leading American eugenicist, who served in the official capacity of "Expert Eugenics Agent" to the House committee responsible for the bill.
I point this out because Vance in particular and MAGA in general often complain when they are branded as racist or labelled with the "f" word (fascist). But if you don't want to be labeled a racist or a fascist, then it is highly advisable to refrain from doing racist things or openly embracing and promoting fascist ideology. And Vance and his pals can't seem to quit that.
QuoteIf you ask the question, what is the exact right number of immigrants for the United States to let in, it is just very specific on the context. If you go back to the 1920s, the United States passed an immigration reform act and that effectively cut down immigration to close to 0 for 40 years in this country
What is the exact number of immigrants in America should accept in the future? Right now, the answer is far less than we have been accepting. We have got to become a common community again. And you can't do that when you have such high numbers of immigration, which is one of the reasons why we have the immigration policy we do.

Last post by Zanza - November 13, 2025, 04:04:49 PMQuote from: Richard Hakluyt on November 13, 2025, 02:31:29 AMI figured it out: one setting was indeed Vsync as I ran at like 300 FPS. The other, bigger one was to reduce my screen resolution to 1080p. I have my PC connected to my 65" TV but have to scale by 3 anyway as otherwise nothing is readable. Reducing the resolution instead of scaling did the trick.Quote 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.

It is almost like having unelected and unaccountable people weilding complete control over a huge percentage of the world's resources is a bad thing.
