Europa Universalis General Thread

It's cool but merely graphical right?

Those are provinces. You can traverse the lines, but its something like boarding/landing when in a ship. Supposed to be very time consuming and i think attrition is high.

Why? It's super damn big still, and not further North enough to have mega distortions from the plane projection. What I mean is that the EU4 projection does a good job at representing what it has to show because it doesn't need to show the poles. It does need to show Poland though.

Well, it could be worse but it is probably still like 50% area added through distortion.

Yea they stopped Austria getting exploration in 1.8. I noticed Ottomans are weaker than before. I guess Crimea nerf + Mamluke + QQ base tax increase is an indirect nerf to the Otto blob. I even saw Venice beat them up.

i think he means, with all the new added countries and the weakening of the Ottomans early game, the Basileus achievement is easier to achieve, therefore, worthless in comparison to much much harder achievements.

Theodoro is the new Byzantium

Finished my Tuscan play through, taking all Italian cores and vassalising Catalunya as well as most of the Balkans under croatia (just independent Serbia holding one province that i felt sorry for).  Together with the commonwealth we crushed the Ottomons and i established a client republic in both Greece and Turkey. Also Held Mameluke Egypt as a vassal and Colombia, Guyana and Brazil as colonial holdings.

Want to start up a new Ironman, any suggestions for forming Germany?

I did it with The Hansa and it's waaaay too easy. If you want some lols perhaps you could try starting from a bishopric.

Try starting with mighty Ulm and form germany, could be fun 

[Zanze]

Ulm is indeed mighty. One of the easiest Eu3's I've played. Not sure about Eu4 though, I am sure it translates well. Are there any good all-around mods for this, a one fix all kind of deal?
