Which country will you choose first?

Penis

Bern

Why does the average Byzantium player smell so bad?

How long until it catches up with EU4? It's going to be like CK2 again.

>>712480324 (OP)
One of the 5 countries that has unique flavor and mechanics, then wait for 4 years of DLCs

>>712480324 (OP)
THERE IS NO RELEASE DATE YET STOP MAKING THREADS ASSHOLE

France probably, or Austria for a comfy diplo game and letting my vassals do everything.

>>712480902
>>712481051
They brought 60 countries to the same flavor level as Great Britain has in EU4 back in fall of 2024.

>>712480324 (OP)
Some HRE OPM

give it a rest johan

My country.

>>712481412
I am allowed to make threads approximately monthly on games that I am looking forward to.

pwnz0rd

USA.

Somewhere in Africa or the Americas, probably Aztecs or someone else with gold. It's better to learn when you don't have to deal with the Franco-Ottoman-Ming-Russian hyperalliance 20 years into the game.

>>712481267
Trusting paradox in 2025 is impressive

>>712481990
Their starting point is basically carrying over everything from EU4 so it's a realistic claim

>>712480324 (OP)
England, of course.

>>712481990
Honestly, despite the hate. I like V3.

>>712480324 (OP)
Bohemia or Scotland

I really hope colonizing the Americas isn't a lesson in tedium like it currently is in eu4. I don't know what the hell they did in the recent updates but I really hate having to fight fucking 100k strong confederations just to take a few provinces for a colonial nation in my current campaign. Last time I played this was not an issue at all when colonizing.

>>712480324 (OP)
Starting with Lithuania and then doing a colonial Ireland game after.

HRE probably in the south i sense the swabian league will need me also some course correction

>>712480324 (OP)
A couple are on my list.
Eastern Rome for one.
Moscow
Scottish revolt
Montferrat if it has an option to go Byzantium restoration

>>712480324 (OP)
>>712483150
might just go for dithmarschen aswell to see how my favourite eu4 meme nation in the hre is going to be in eu5,florenz or milan after hopefully Theodoro is playable might be funny again on that island perhaps portugal to see how weird/interesting colonizing will be

>>712482286
fookin legend

>>712480324 (OP)
I'm starting to get tired of these kind of maps where they depict the HRE as a mosaic of little territories while feudal unions/confederacies/other literal empires such as the Crown of Castile or Byzantium are presented as unified countries. Extremely reddit

>>712484986
There's a map mode that presents the top level nation including the HRE so your little shitfit was all for naught!!!! LOL!!!!!

>>712480324 (OP)
>>712480385
Gurgan
the Illkhanate will be restored, and the Borjigin will reign

>>712480324 (OP)
Probably France.

>>712480385
Byzantium duh.

Probably milan or Venice, unify Italy then going after the great powers is always good fun

>>712480324 (OP)
Tutorialtugal because colonialism is fun and I generally prefer passive play in EU games. Maybe France for game 2.
But first I'm playing Byz with the console open.

>>712482165
That would be nice but it's not true.
>>712482330
It's a bad game!

>>712482330
My main issue with Vic 3 is the lack of flavor
Playing France or playing Japan or Ethiopie is always the same thing

>>712480324 (OP)
probably aragon or the roman empire
also is there a release date yet? shit's looking neat

>No release date
>No flavour
>Not implementing player feedback from the preview
>Devs are literal BBC cucks that daydream about African male peasants breeding Europen female nobles
Imagine trusting Paradox in 2025.
Couldn't be me.

>>712485996
Well that's just due to the classic barebones releases from Paradox but yeah I agree it hurts the replayability a lot.

>>712480324 (OP)
Lübeck.

>>712480324 (OP)
Oswiecim, of course.

if it ever gets released this century then fighting off multiple Jihads as Cilicia seems like it would be exciting

>>712480324 (OP)
Milan
Now that pops are in the game I will ethnically cleanse the south

>>712486249
The reason I know you're full of shit is because the past entire year has been nothing but Paradox garnering and responding to feedback. Pretty much everything they do is in a development diary and every single region in the world had its own feedback session on the forums.

They also have given content creators access to early builds to gather feedback as well.

Papal States, of course.

>>712488948
He's right about flavor, they never have enough.

>>712488948
Imagine looking at Imperator: Rome, Victoria 3, Crusader Kings 3 and Stellaris 4.0 and posting this shit.
You are mentally ill.

>>712489648
Crusader Kings 3 is very fun and better than 2

>>712490419
How many fart and cuck events did you get today?

>>712489648
>Imperator
Engoodened.
>Victoria 3 and Crusader Kings 3
Engoodening almost complete.

>>712490673
Plenty
I will pretend to have farted myself to help the lady out

>>712489648
We knew Imperator:Rome would be shit from the moment they revealed any info about it because they straight up said it would just be a re-release of EU:Rome, which was a terrible game.

>>712488929
Knowing paradox, they will probably neuter this option because muh progressive thinking, like they did with Vic 3.

>>712490419
I want to play again but the dlc is VERY expensive and doesn't go on sale.

>>712480324 (OP)
France of course. The way EU is meant to be played, endless war from all sides against all european countries seething over your superiority

>>712480639
too close to turks

>>712480324 (OP)
>Awful performance
>Only 8 countries with content
>Boring even after 20 DLCs
>Shitty combat
>No actual development whatsoever, you either conquer the hard-coded good provinces or stay a poorfag for the entire run
>Mercator slop
If you played a Parashit "game", you've played all of them

>>712495501
>only 8 countries with content
>shitty combat
>no actual development whatsoever
>mercator slop
Not this time.

>>712480324 (OP)
Principality of Scheißenhausen

Have people even seen the developer diaries?

>>712480324 (OP)
Lithuania then after I learned the game better Circassia. I can't explain it but I have a soft spot for them in EU4 as well, maybe its that one national idea that just says circassian women are hot or that they can become a peasant republic or horde.

>>712496607
>This time it's different
Yeah, this time it costs $100 +$400 worth of DLCs lol

>>712480324 (OP)
Will Israel be a formable tag?

>>712501037
It is in eu4 so I don't see why not in eu5, better yet.

>You can literally play a nation that is a collection of banks.
>You can Jew your way to the top of nations through being a loanshark
>You can become the ultimate Kike and just ruin the credit of whichever nation owns Jerusalem and demand they give it to you in payment.

Actually sounds like a fun campaign.

>>712480324 (OP)
Arborea between a rock and a hard place, hope you can save Marianus the great and avoid the tart.

>>712480324 (OP)
Eastern Romans

>>712480385
i wonder how is eu5 going to show byzantine/chinese decline
iirc yuan is supposed to be on the verge of collapse too

>>712480324 (OP)
Oman.
Ibadi supremacy.

>>712480324 (OP)
Wallachia

>>712480324 (OP)
Brittany; I'll recreate the Angevin Empire, and make it Celtic

>>712485108
Then fucking post it

>>712480324 (OP)
Aragon and unite Occitania.
