I've got my complaints but I'm still a little surprised at how much I've not hated it. I'm at 1543 now and colonization seems to go pretty hard but the AI are fucking retarded. Spain and portugal have spent the whole time building up some big dogshit failed blobs in west africa while no one has touched brazil. France is only just now starting to despite being whole for awhile now. And a few med and minors tags have gotten some clay. Meanwhile I snagged the entire north american coast in no time just sitting on it until i can afford to fuck with it more. Also of all the feelgood changes from eu4 to 5 the best so far has to be the tech tree, the Ui for it is fucking awful but having actual branches and not just waiting on the next tech is nice.
