Europa Universalis IV announced

[Josquius]

Further confirmation then that the project which isn't EU5 is obviously EU5.

[Josquius]

I randomly decided to try a game. MEIOU and taxes - I guess it was two mods before that merged giving the weird name?
The more detailed map appealed... And I felt curious.

I.... Don't get it. Even remembering how vanilla features work after so many years is tough but this has been hyper modded for massive micro management.
Plus it has big slow down issues.
Oh well.
I'm sure it works well when you get it? No way do I have time for learning though.

I play EU4 unmodded, but with all DLCs. It has enough mechanics and content as it is.

I loved the version they put out ... a few years ago? Then they did a massive overhaul and it took it from EUIV with reasonably more micromanaging to EUIV with absolutely insane and unworkable levels of micromanaging. I have yet to give it a try in the past year or so out of disappointment.

Yeah, the base game with DLCs is plenty for me.

[Threviel]

Any feelings about Anbennar?

Kids: "Mom, can we have EU4?"
Mom: "We have EU4 at home."

EU4 at home:

But hey, only 9.99. And, based on screen shots from their steam page, you can play in 19th century, too. Or WW2. Or 2024.

It actually looked more like EU3.

Playing EU4. I play it once or twice a year, but always during the Xmas season (since they included a festive song that only launches in December). Playing as Aragon. Having fun

I will die on this hill: EU4 is the best Paradox game and will not be bested. Paradox is moving in an entirely different direction now, and I have little hope for EU5.

If they just made new multi directional trade system it would be near perfection.

Mechanically, it's hard to agree. That said, I do prefer CK3, Vic3 or even Stellaris, as they feel more "relaxed" to chill out in (even though CK3 and Vic3 are very easy right now). Esp. CK3 and Stellaris provide me with more of a canvas for storytelling/RP.

Agreed.

Let's see. I am reasonably optimistic about EU5.

CK3 was probably the best on or near day release Paradox ever had, but the follow up has been disappointing, at least for stratgame type players.  Vic3 has gone in the opposite direction although still needs more love.  That said as of today I've put more time into EU4 then any other Paradox game except EU2.

I think CK2 is my fave of all time.

[Josephus]

Enjoying my game as Aragon. There are a few things about EU4 that will always bother me, though. The retreats. You can have a defeated unit retreat from Morocco to Toledo. But the worst is movement around enemy forts and ZoCs. I swear fighting a war in norhtern Africa there was no way to move from one province to another because of a fort two provinces away I couldn't reach. Annoying.

Still love the game, though.
