Thread 720128427

Now that we're less than 2 months away from eu5, what are your biggest hopes and fears based on what you've seen? Do you have any campaigns in mind at the moment?

>>720128427 (OP)
Slavery, which looks alright so far

I hope they get rid of the gay 3d ck3 cartoony characters

>>720128427 (OP)
>hopes
Challenging mid/late game.
>fears
Barebones unrewarding colonization system which seems to be the true based on early access feedback.

>>720128427 (OP)
After buying Imperator and Vicky 3 at release, I will see you guys in a year when it's on sale and has some patches.

Probably not gonna be worth it for at least 2 or 3 years, probably more. It's been 6 years since CK3 came out and its still missing major features from ck2.

>>720128427 (OP)
I'll bring something up i haven't heard complaints about yet.
I want the default map to show borders better, i don't like that i feel forced to use the diplomatic map mode in 4.

>>720128946
never happening, that would require more work than just copying ck3's UI wholesale

maybe in two years when the game is playable there will be mods to remove it

this poster is johan trying to trick people into embracing terrain mapmode once again

>>720128427 (OP)
Most of the changes look good and necessary to me, but fuck me there are so many sub systems now. It looks like there's just way too much shit to be doing all the time, everywhere. A good 50-60% of my playtime in EU3 and EU4 is in pause navigating menus and EU5 has at least 20 new menus from what I've seen

>>720128427 (OP)
I have a bit of a fear that it will be a bit like Vicky 3, where it has a lot of small mechanics that sound neat on paper, but are either meaningless or so esoteric that you just end up ignoring it.

>>720130471
The map in general just looks a bit ass. They did the same with CK3 for some reason.

>Imperator map looks great

Make up your damn mind Paradox.

im gonna do what i do with every new paradox game

play as denmark and cheat my way to victory for the first couple of games in order to learn the systems
looks like it's gonna be the hardest denmark run yet, atleast in the early game

I will never buy another Paradox game after how badly they fucked up Vicky 3 and CS2

>>720128427 (OP)
it won't have any content for the first 5 years

Reclaiming the Angevin Empire as Brittany

>>720128427 (OP)
I've tried conquering ireland four times now and just can't do it. The fuckface english always end up fucking everyone up and then me. It's insanely annoying.

>>720129275
>imperator
I thank you for your service, even though it was ultimately in vain.

>>720128427 (OP)
I really don't care because I will pirate it.
But I don't really trust Nu-Paradox. Thry haven't released a good gsme in the last decade.

>It's been 6 years since CK3 came out and its still missing major features from ck2.
it's not ck2. it's chock full of things ck2 could never have in it. if you expect eu5 to be eu4 plus all dlcs you're going to be disappointed.

all the people who played it early are pussyfooting around their agreement with Paradox and all but calling it outright awful. this is their final nail in the coffin

>>720128427 (OP)
I ain't touching it for atleast 2 years. By then we will get the Eastern Europe/Byzaboo flavour and units DLC and I will download a cracked version of it.

I hope different nations will feel different to play. I fear they won't. EU4 did it pretty well in the end, but I'm not quite sure how.

>>720135259
In EU4? Irish minors aren't very easy to play as in that game. This isn't CK and Ireland isn't the "tutorial island." Pick some big country like Castile where you can just chill and have few immediate threats around you.

>>720135653
>it's not ck2.
yeah it's gay rp simulator for normalfags that lets them reenact their favorite got scenes
how could i have forgotten?

not buying a Paradox game on release as I'm not insane but for me it's Portugal, simple as

>>720131680
3D map was really low on their priorities, they've been doing work on it lately

>>720135259
You can blitz down the island in a couple years, then if/when the english do attack you farm their stacks on the strait crossing/naval landings.

I'm not buying because the UI looks ugly, they decided to put the ugly 3D models from CK3 everywhere, my PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements, and I can't be bothered to just relearn everything (I know how EU4 works pretty well at this point).

>>720135783
I think EU4 went too far to the point some nations have ridiculous overpowered mission trees that give them too many buffs and railroaded claims. Some people have said EU5 is taking a more sandbox approach

>>720136130
Enjoy getting raped by Castille's big cock.

>>720136474
I do like the mission system because it gives thematically appropriate goals, but yeah, the rewards can be pretty op. Making it more of a sandbox will just result in every nation feeling exactly alike, which is what happened in Victoria 3.

>>720128427 (OP)
I'm in the middle of a Megacampaign so EU4 is what I'll still be using for now

>>720136429
How did you divert enought value to the node? I tried doing this once, but I was way too slow and by the time I had enough control, diverting enough value would have required regular blobbing everywhere.

>>720136475
That's fine, I'll just come back from overseas later and tickle their spanish meatballs (with my boot)

>>720136776
See >>>/vst/2139930 and a couple of posts following it.

>hopes
i'm not retarded enough to not understand how to play it
>fears
i am

>>720136475
It's funny to say that because allying Aragon and killing Castile immediately is the go-to strategy as Portugal

>>720137158
That's in EUIV, in EUV Castille is one of the richest and most populated countries in the game.
