Is EU3 fun yet?

[katmai]

Nah, EU3 complete ctd's when i try to look at anything but 1st tutorial for me as wall and I dl'd it from gamers gate.

Probably does have something to do with Steam.  I have a hard copy that I bought from Amazon and have yet to experience a CTD.

I did it. With todays's reduced prices on Steam I bought EU3 Complete for 12€. Finished the 1st tutorial and wanted to look at the second: CTD 
Fired it up, repeated the same with tut #2, again CTD. PI sucks.

I think the tutorials were borked somewhere along the patching/expansion process. Over on Wargamer I read occasional complaints in Paradox threads that they should "finally fix the tutorials".

Right or wrong it seems to be a pretty common problem; the manuals and the tutorials are garbage months - or weeks- after the game is released because of the patches.

I thought that the tutorials have always been broken.

Is the census thing bugged?  I haven't look every time, but every time I have done the action, it's lowered the population and never raised it, despite the apparent 50% chance.

This is supposedly fixed in the beta patch (random decision effects weren't very random).

What annoys me is that when I click on the small world map to move the active window, it only moves about 1/3 of the time.

It raised mine sometimes, but the odds seem to be much worse than 50/50.  I've noticed it myself today.

[Alcibiades]

Same with the census, and the world map.

Wow, it's the exact opposite for me, it's always raised the population for me.

How does this cultural tradition thing work?

It helps you create quality advisers.  It can be very useful.

After playing a second game, I am convinced that the itty bitty French vassals need to be removed and France should control those places directly from the start. Otherwise, with a 1399 start, AI France invariably gets crushed (usually by Burgundy, sometimes also by England and Castile). Only Brittany and Provence/Anjou should really be independent, the rest of them should just be merged with France right away. After all, there aren't separate earldoms in England, or other feudal vassals in Castile, Sweden, Poland, or wherever, so there's no reason for France to be singled out.

I'm making progress on starting out with Byzantium.  Build up the navy, don't hire a lot of advisors, traders in Venice are actually cost-effective...

But I got so caught up in the new changes in HTTT I forgot some of the most elementary mistakes.  I was in an alliance with Wallachia, and Wallachia started a war with the Ottomans.  Now unlike EU2 the senior alliance partner takes over the peace process, but I forgot that I was only a 2 province minor, and Wallachia totally screwed me over in the peace process.

Back to the drawing board...
