RELEASE TOMORROW edition
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/release-map-launching-our-video-tutorial-series.1865478/

first for landless gameplay, how the fuck will they handle playing as an army only?

It's the day after tomorrow.

>>2198035
unless you're aussie

Who're you playing first bros

>>2198037
Pretty it's also in two days there unless you're a weirdo from WA

>>2197848 (OP)
my knees hurt

>>2198049
They've changed it so its now much more aggressive and even breaks alliances. This is Paradox so I expect they've made it too aggressive and guess its charge of the Light brigade level AI and Ulm is going to charge straight at France.

>>2198051
The Eastern Byzantine Empire of the Greek Romans

>>2198037
We just passed midnight so technically two days unless you're measuring by the hours, but in that case its exactly the same for everyone anyways.

>>2198051
Iceland. I'm hoping for some comfy economic gaming while I learn the game and struggle to survive winter all building up to a war of independence.

>>2198051
Florence, the Medici will lead us to prosperity.

>>2198051
I cannot wait anymore frens

>>2198051
i will be modding

>>2198078
>Deliberately keeping Cilicia independent
I like it

but there is already a perfectly fine thread...
>>2196903

I boughted.

LAST CALL. Are you DOOMING or are you HOPING?

>>2198083
Brother...
This is the thread
>>2182735

>>2198094
~90% "we are so back"

>>2198094
It's fucking paradox, of course launch will be shit

>>2198094
I KNOW that we are so back

>>2198102
>>2198100
Hopium alert

>>2198094
We already had the poll, we know what the results are, overwhelming "We're so back", even after the rigging.
The rigging was really funny I must admit, well played.

>>2198063
>Uniornically expecting Paradox to make good AI
KEKIS

>>2198111
>expecting
nothing to expect. it was fixed.

>>2198051
hungary, portugal/castile and ottos

>>2198078
Based. It`s time to go full RESTITVTOR ORBIS byzantium, then tall byzantium with greece as the core provinces, the catholic byzantium then Trapezous into ERE, then tall Trapezous, then trapezous but it makes a black sea empire, then Greek tall Morea playthrough

>>2198094
I was unironically going to spend $85 on the pre-order until I found out that Paradox was going to erroneously refer to The Roman Empire as the (((byzantine empire)))

>>2198133
Imagine going catholic Byzantium, might as well go sunni turkish Byzantium while you're at it

>>2198134
Just use the gamerule, cuckie

>>2198139
no.
I might as well just play a modded Imperator at that point

>>2198094
I was going to pre-order until I found out that Paradox caved to the demands of byzantiboos and added a game rule to rename the country with the capital in the city of Byzantion to Eastern Rome.

Why would you play this when EU4 with 10000 DLCs and updates exists?

>>2198051
Aztec or Maya
the human sacrifices will be accelerated

>>2198134
I was unironically going to spend $85 on the pre-order until I found out that Paradox was going to erroneously add a game setting to refer to The Byzantine Empire as the (((Roman Empire)))

>>2198143
Because EU4 is arcadey shit

>>2198143
Because it's a new DLC simulator !!!
My wife, her boyfriends and I are going to love it.

>>2198143
Because you'd have to play EU4 for that

>>2198143
Because it's time to MOVE ON

>>2198051
first Serbia
then ragusa
then Jalayrids

>t.nordman

Does it have DRM or will it be pirateable straight away?

My travel laptop is right on the edge of the reqs it and I want to make sure it runs.

I don't care about other nations having historically accurate AI. I'm playing my own nation, why should I care what the other nations on the map are doing, except for the ones right next to me that I'm going to conquer?

>>2198170
Knowing Paradox, people will fiend to crack it as quickly as possible.

>>2198143
luv pops, simple as

>>2198170
It was said to not have any DRM during the prerelease stream, that's why they weren't sure on the preloading of the game.

>>2198172
>>2198170
its 20 gigs so you may have to wait for a few hours before somebody uploads it, and then for you to download it

>>2198176
>20 gigs
>a few hours
nigga it's 2025

>>2198171
>why should I care what the other nations on the map are doing
I agree but it is nice to see some historical nations forming while playing. The 1800s should not look like the 1300s. The Golden Horde should die,western Europeans should colonize and the Mamluks should get overthrown by Egyptian nationalists at least. I will mod -50% satisfaction for foreign rulers into the game if they refuse to fix that.

>>2198177
xir the initial hours after release will have slow downloads because everyone is downloading at the same time

>>2198051
Austria with the goals of reaching Austrian empire borders and somehow getting a PU over Hungary instead of conquering it

>in 2 days you will be 85$ poorer
>and still crying shitting and pissing in these threads for some reason
It happens ever pdx title launch and you really think this time it will be different?

>>2198177
upload speed is often 10 times lower than download

>>2198178
>emirate of old mandinga
>viceroyalty of jaguaribe
>noble horde
>grand republic of erorogondo
What the hell are these names

In two days time I shall be kicking Turkroach ass playing as the Roman Empire

>>2198183
>>noble horde
Probably noble rebels in the golden horde.

>everyone hyped about quill18 shill stream in the last thread
>he is the least informed out of all the streamers and doesn't understand the simplest concepts
yall have pink classes on

>>2198189
It's almost like being buttmad requires being a unemployed chud with 2000 hours in the game

>>2198189
>least informed out of all streamers
That is Clio

>>2198189
My nigga quill is still alive? That guy had a good run TEN YEARS AGO

>>2198189
>the least informed out
Don't even care, I just want to be entertained and see stuff. I'm smarter than all those streamers anyway and I will immediately be better at the game as soon as I start playing, they don't have anything useful to teach me.

>>2198189
Quill is like the nostalgia critic of Paracocks streams. He's a retard but he was the first to start doing it, and he's somewhat more tolerable than the basedface zoomers that make up most of the scene. He also clearly gives zero shits and is just collecting a paycheck. He's so committed to half assing it that it becomes respectable again, somehow.

>>2198192
I love that hag with all my heart but God damn was that EU5 stream painful to watch, she desperately needs to take like a week off streaming to actually learn the game

>>2198051
Probably Venice. I was very conflicted between Ottos, Korea, Austria and Barlas (for Timurids) but I think Venice has the best balance of things to do + ease of introduction.
>>2198143
Because I don't want to play EU4. Haven't touched it since 2017, the game is repulsive dogshit. Last EU game I played for any serious length of time was EU3.

>>2198183
Noble horde sounds kino honestly. The rest are just ungabunga names like Tanganyika or Demerara-Essequibo

>>2198051
Holland.
Will also try out Spain and the Ottoman empire though.

never played EU4 but I played EU3 a lot like 8-10 years ago. might pirate this for some cheeky byzantine fun. just hope it isnt overly complicated, as i was too intimidated even to play vicky 2

ARE YOU READY?

>>2198094
I’M GONNNA HOOOOOPE
I’M HOOOOPING

>>2198221
checked except my i7-13700K

>>2198178

>>2198221
time to clean up my SSD

>>2198212
>Because I don't want to play EU4. Haven't touched it since 2017, the game is repulsive dogshit.
So EU4 is "repulsive dogshit" and EU5 is going to be megagold? Why? What's different?

>>2198221
My 7600x3d got this

>>2198221
Geforce Now better be ready or I'm shooting up the NVIDIA HQ

can someone just tell me if this is a GOOD PARADOX game (vic2, hoi3) or a BAD PARADOX GAME (vic3, ck3)

i got really hyped for vic3 and feel so burned on that game being such an ass-backwards anti-fun disaster i have very little faith in new paradox releases. also, ck3 was fun for maybe like a few hours but then it was so shallow and i just got sick of it.

will this be good and fun?

for whatever reason i never got into eu4 so im new to this particular franchise.

>>2198232
well it's looking a lot closer to Vic2 than to EU4
do with that what you will

>>2198232
did you like meiou or imperator? then this will make you cream yourself

>>2198232
I could tell V3 and CK3 were going to be shit before they released, but this one looks better.

>>2198232
Just watch gameplay for yourself:
https://www.youtube.com/live/3kngD-C4xYc?si=n7HgX0jKv0q9enaE

It’s gonna have flaws but I think it’s shaping up to be good.

Will anybody else besides me try to play through geforce now?

>>2198221
Everything but my processor meets minimum requirements. Pray for me.

i would rather kill myself then to voluntarily use a subscription service that isnt essential to survive nowadays

>>2198232
It's honestly looking to be the only good modern paradox game

can someone mod this banking tag into the game?

>>2198252
Cool it with the anti-Semetic remarks.

>>2198252
if this banking tag builds a building it lowers the pop growth and stability for the host country

>>2198252
it isnt?
first they dont add the gypsies, then they deny the protagonists of history their debut as well. this is an outrage

>>2198255
>>2198252
Fluvial, Equatorial, Lacustrine BANTU pops start showing up

>>2198252
did they even add the Fugger family?

>>2198143
New thing good old thing bad.

>>2198258
they did, they say it in the diary!

>>2198248
eh I have20 euros to spend per month. My computer is ass.

if you finna play some basic bitch shit like byz or portugal first honestly just kys urself

>>2198257
But they refuse to work

the correct first playthrough is always your own home province

Laith is live, do we like him?

>>2198241
Yeah my 7 year old laptop will likely crap out if I try to run it on that
Paradox has repeatedly stated it should be available on release so I think we're good

any manchu enjoyers?

Eurocentrists get the rope

>>2198276
Nah Arumba and Quill

>>2198276
We're all watching Arumba

>>2198268
I'm gonna play Somalia as soon as I can pirate the game

>>2198286
Nostalgia hits so hard man. Quill and Arumba thought me how to play eu4 and now here we are several years later and cycole repats itslef.
Can't wait till tuseday when game releases.

Can't wait to block all those e-cancers once the game is out

>>2198051
England. So long as I can find a way to shed continental possessions in order to live peak perfidiousness with too much humilation

>>2198284

how can anyone stand listening to that faggot for more than 20 seconds

>>2198284
I thought we hated them

I got excited when I saw someone streaming Brandenburg but it is fucking Ludi

>Opens the console
Nothing personal chuddy

who are you watching /vst/?

>>2198284
>Arumba
He seems to be playing EU4 right now

>>2198311
bros this might just be the game I stop savescumming in...

>>2198300
We're allowed to like them when /gsg/ isn't in the room.

>>2198314
Embargo lifts at the turn of the hour, no one 'should' be streaming EU5 before then.

>>2198309
I've seen paradox streamers that defy and test human sanity, what is it about the medium that brings out these nikocado type niggas?

>>2198170
You can probably play it with just a steam emulator. If I remember correctly Paradox games only require cracks for DLC, and there won't be any DLC at release.
>>2198176
About 15gb apparently.

>>2197848 (OP)
Am I shooting myself in the foot if I play some literally who in the HRE first? after the tutorial of course

>>2198323
If it makes you feel any better, I am a total retard if my borders are inside of the HRE.

>>2198323
not really, quill18 survived with barely any knowledge as opm strasbourg

>>2198323
Pick whoever you want bro

>>2198323
Nah, HRE players are eating well with the granularity of the situation, the dream of being a hyperlocalist empire, supporting german village-level vassal autonomies all while blobbing outside to keep yourself sharp...this is the Antigonid dream

>>2198323
i will be playing a literal who opm in the HRE for my first game (because i live there irl)

>>2198323
Game looks piss easy on release

>income derived from interest does not contribute to economic capacity
>can easily get higher trading advantage than any other tags
accurate representation, banking dynasties and the hansa are going to be making 4 and 5 figures by mid game

>>2198323
It's all good. Just gobble up your fellow OLMs (One Location Minors)

>>2198338
Frankly this paradox habit of just slapping on mechanics to simply say they have something of worth, it's like Fnaf 2, just throw ten time bombs at a guy and have him try to defuse them all, I think you people are gonna find in due time that the launch will be the most enjoyable state

>>2198339
Are you able to seize the banks’ property and wealth in the game?

I will call the roof koreans if Ludi doesn't go for the von Hohenzollerns.

lel

>>2198345
i dont think romania has those

>>2198313
not a hoi4 tranny for sure

>>2198323
I'd probably pick one away from France since they seem the only threat in the game

>>2198347
:DDDDDDD

>>2198352
the AI doesn't expand beyond de jure borders, buddy

>>2198321
No idea how paradox managed that

Some streamer going to Zutt the muslims?

>>2198375
No clue desu neither of the vtubers is streaming right now

>>2198375

>>2198375

>>2198051
The Chosen People (Society of Pops) of course.

>>2198389
why are you here then?

>>2198397
How does that fucking work, could a player just pick "Bavarians" or "Greeks"? Clue me in

>>2198401
Some Nations don't have physical land, like Native American tribes and Daimyos. If there isn't a Jewish tag like this then I'll just mod one.

>>2198375
Was doing Laith but Arumba looks to be doing England so him now

>>2198385
There's a vtuber (male) streaming it

>DDRjake playing Epirus
Are there anyone else that are playing smaller/lesser known countries?

>>2198411
Quill

Will there be a big day 1 patch

>>2198411
quill18 is Strasburg

>>2198305
He swapped to playing Nancy Drew

>>2198323
No. A good literally who to play would be Austria or Brandenburg, two frontier states that will probably never amount to anything ever.

>>2198422
Based

>>2198411

>>2198429
he's got worms alright

>>2198440
That looks worse than simply "nothing ever happens", there doesn't appear to have been any colonisation unless the AI was so low aggression that any colonist revolt won instantly.

>>2198485
how blind?

where is the wikipedia page for it so i can read up on nations?

>>2198342
Lambert has forced ULM (Unique Location Minor) to be the game's term for nations with only a single location.

Yes.

>>2198488
to be fair its fucking impossible to tell whats going on colonialy because for some reason they don't seem to have overlords colour.

>>2198440
So do they just play tall instead of expanding? Or do they do anything at all?

>>2198403
Societies of Pops are unplayable on launch, making a Jewish banking tag probably wouldn't be too difficult though, though banking tags and hansa for some reason need their own culture to function.

LEAKED

Installing now

Should I play as Iceland or a German minor state as my first play through

Well, everyone needs to learn their lesson so they don't make these mistakes I suppose.

>>2198519

I have hope. Early modern is my favorite historical period. I have hundreds of hours in with fire and sword and I own pretty much every John Tiller Pike & Shot game. I've always found EU pretty boring though, as I'm partial towards sims as opposed to board games.

Looks better but, poor Russia and Ottoman Empire.

I remember them saying in the EU4 dev diaries that Ottoman Empire and Russia never forming was one of the things they wanted to fix.

>>2198568
Looks fine honestly, except that colonization is even more cancerous than in EU4. Certain countries consistently being too weak and others too strong are just about balance tuning.
>>2198572
And, as literally everyone predicted, assimilation is retarded.

Yes.

>>2198568
>FYI this was made on the release patch (November 1st) for EU5 and took me over 30 hours, compared to just under 13 hours for the October 16th patch

lmao

>>2198579
The opposite. The cabinet action, which is what leads to entire regions being fully assimilated in a few years, is what shouldn't existed.

my first goal is to unite italy, conquer egypt, then take over the spice trade through the indian ocean alongside coffee
will also try to colonise the caribbean for sugar and tobacco

>European colonizing inland Africa
This is so fucking retarded.
They have an entire mechanic of disease that should prevent this and every timelapse I see, Europe colonize the entirety of Africa like it's 1880.
Realistically they should only have ports and maybe vassals because of malaria.

Yes. The Saffron vtuber discovered chocolate in the Americas and created a massive plantation for it on the Canaries. Then she controlled the flow of chocolate into Europe in order to keep the prices high while making a ton of cash since she was the only supplier at that point

Quarbit went Norse as Norway and slave raiding seems busted

The capture slaves mechanics is pure fucking bullshit, there's no logistic element nor anything. It should have a limit based on your army size and you would need to move them with your army back to your country to actually get them.

>>2198051
I usually like to play Denmark as a tutorial country. It's kind of out of the way, so it's not threatened by big empires, reasonably developed, not too big so you don't have to divide your attention, potential for nordic union and colonization.

OK that CB is overpowered as fuck you can call every Muslim nation from Kanem to the Ottomans in on it.

>>2198741
Yeah, though what actually does it mean. EU4 had to give Sweden events to ensure they break free instead of getting annexed. Assuming they fix the ai enough for the AI to start getting it'' shit together the Kalmar union actually working as intended will probably result in a unified Scandinavia every game.

I am sort of new to the grand strategy stuff. I have played a lot of Crusader Kings 3 and nothing else. What are some primary selling points of Europa Universales 5? I really enjoyed crusader kings 3 so would I like EU5 also?

That is after eu4

>>2198771

its over https://strawpoll.com/XmZRQPK13gd

>>2198737
It's honestly infuriating to watch these hoifags play, it's just confirming what we already know about the average hoi4 player's iq. I honestly know more than him from just reading the TTs.

>>2198771
doubtful since its much harder and less personalized on characters, almost completely different game.
Selling point is mechanical depth i guess, who the fuck knows, the game isnt out yet.

What were past Europa games like? I am just trying to get a feel for if it has what I like I guess. I really enjoy the Dynasty building in CK3. So if Europa is less focus on characters and more on nations, I guess its a different take. I will have to look up more on it.

>>2198799
can you confirm this poll anon?

The take is that any GSG that is released today will be hated because of a sea of metagamers and easy access to information.

>>2198801
im a big noob in eu4, its a relatively simple game that got bloated to hell with dlc's. Ultimately its a map paint, you (or at least me) barely notice who is your monarch at any given moment.

eu5 will have dynastic lines tho, it is more similar to CK than eu4.
Just pirate on release or just look at their steam page, they tell you what kind of a game it is themselves.

how do I swap religion?

unlock the game already johan

>>2198801
In the past characters basically didn't exist and their relevance is only marginally higher now.
It is primarily about nation building, conquering lands, exploring and colonizing the new world, turning your backwater shit hole into an empire, wrecking a historic superpower/rescuing your doomed state etc.

>>2198803
choices are untrustworthy due to the incident, but i think majority chose its over

>>2198813
Wasn't it 40% of population to swap outside religion group?

>>2198808
its around 80-85% we are back in reality

Good. Johan understands that blobchads blob out of the simple and pure desire to paint the map. Receiving benefits for it sullies our art.

Can't wait for more Aztec wank instead of focusing on the natives who were able to mount an effective resistance against colonialism.

>>2198850
why dont they name it something else? Like Animal Crossing let's say.

>Johan has defeated evil blobbers
>forgot to add things to do outside of blobbing
LOL

so you're telling me if I want to 100% my tech I'm going to waste a bunch of years finishing tech from the previous era before I even start with the current age? but will the AI do the same or will they rush newer advances?

damn you niggas are absolutely mindbroken by /gsg/

>>2198893

>prussia took him 70 years even with console cheats
We are so back.

>>2198895
I don't think you can 100% the tech. There's too many techs. It's on purpose, just pick the ones you actually want.
Also older age tech gets a discount so you may as well leave it for even later, I rushed like 5 early techs all at once in age 4

>>2198898
>press x to doubt

>>2198899
I get the joke, but this is supposedly "very hard" difficulty and he just mindlessly declares war on everyone while ignoring every other aspect of the game

>>2198895
in modern pdx games you really dont need max tech.
CK2/3, stellaris, hoi4, max tech is overrated.

>>2198903
The difficulty settings don't really do anything.

>>2198905
but I want to wakandamaxx
>>2198901
I'll leave them then, going to get the new units first

>>2198903
Yes, that is how 90% of people will play the game.

>>2198908
you probably still can because if EU5 works like the other PDX games, a smaller country will gain literacy much faster than any large country.

THE LEAK JUST HIT THE PENTAGON

what the fuck are you asking, bong?

you now remember that they gave modders access to the files as well which means they were suffering even more than the streamers by having to interact with the shit under the hood. the world is so beautiful.

if Tommy can do it, then you too, dear no reply /gsgl niggers can do it

>>2199007
just like the vic2 modders who got vic3 early access
remember when it had the divergences mod day 1? then it was abandoned immediately

>>2199007
i find it so weird not a single modder leaked files

i had an irl friend that posted on gsg and he tried to violate my holes

>>2199010
we all know why though. V3 is a gay game with gay mechanics that no one liked and it was unstable as shit and wasnt like vic 2 at all.

>new EU4 content creators seething that they have to play it now
but what about /ourguy/ chudgun? I can't form an opinion without a basedtuber to tell me how to think

>>2199051
yes but that's because he's a massive victoria hater and contrarian and was one of the only creators being paid for his opinion back then.
pdx never reached out to Vic 2 youtube

>>2199056
they didn't give him early access

>new-EU4fags who can't play without missions
I genuinely don't understand these people since both vanilla and most mods just use them as a way to give you a bunch of permanent claims

>>2199066
Yes, they worked similar to how estate agendas work now. There were even some unique missions with that system like the Aragon mission to conquer Saruhan

>>2199066
Yeah they were decisions that gave you claims and were most of the time random

>>2199056

>>2199076
ackshully he was as negative as you're allowed to be in a sponsered video

>>2199066
I think EU3 was the first Paradox game to introduce them in some dlc. But they were randomized like estate agendas n 4. I have a memory of save scrumming as an 11 year old trying to get the vassalize Scotland one as England.

>>2199076
It was a very negative review, it might be hard to tell for someone who doesn't watch him frequently. But as an ISP loremaster, he utterly despised it and wanted to like it.

no you see in this video he said it was scoobylicious and in this other video he said it was down right re-chonkulous so we can determine he didn't like it
t. isp loremaster

so are nations with "flavor" just straight up more powerful by default than the ones without it?

Has anyone said anything about how non-landed countries become actual countries?

>>2199094
Yes, welcome to Paradox games.

>>2199082
>But as an ISP loremaster
Can you explain the "gravy Timmy's" thing? I've always wanted to know where that came from

paradox gamers when the flavor event actually gives them a debuff instead of a positive modifier

>>2199098
I look like that

new when

>>2199097
Its a meme that evolved to what it is, combination of 2 different memes like gravy babies(which he was ironically using to make fun of another person) and lil timmy. He states the exact origin in one of his A-Z videos

>>2199095
I'd like to know too, I heard offhandledly that they can vassalize countries but not conquer land directly but I'm sure there's a way to become a normal country somehow.

>>2199095
you can vassalize landed nations so I assume integrating those is a way

>>2199099

at this point we could move back to /vg/

>>2199109
just the soundtrack

>>2199099
5 ck3 threads too lol

>>2199109
pdx employees traditionally bet on preorder numbers, so you can make one of them win

>>2199108
see >>2199091

>A society of pops can attempt to settle if they achieve certain advances, after which they will take control over all locations where they have pops and are the dominant culture and religion, and then become a Settled Country.

>>2199111
we'd be around for a few weeks before dying methinks, unless we merged with /gsg/

Paradox can keep the tip I suppose

just stop making new threads before image limit and we wont need to go to the gacha slop board

4chan belives in Johan.

my fav part of these games is roleplaying and autistically fantasising about the mundane details of my nations so im looking forward to this :)

>CK3 outselling EU5
KEKAROO

>>2199127
>literally giving it away for free
lmao

>>2199127
anon you're being a /v/ level sales chart retard

>>2199056
what are their complaints?
is it just bad ai?
bad performance lots crashing?

Why do all youtubers make those stupid faces in the thumbnail?
>it helps the algorithm
How? No one is more likely to click on a video because some retard is gurning on it.

Is it incredibly retarded to play the maya first?
Otherwise I was going to go for a romouva lithuania

>>2199135
you literally did notice it

>>2199135
You are overestimating the average normalfag

>>2199135
but it makes youtube more likely to push it onto peoples front page

>>2199060
A chicken notices that the farmer continues to arrive and feed it everyday. One day, the farmer comes in and breaks its neck. Just because something happens repeatedly, doesn't necessarily mean it will always occur. We have significant reason to believe the game will be good. Like if the chicken noticed another being killed beforehand.

>>2199060
You can blob. AI can't.

I feel like i should do a wc in EU4 before switching since i've never done it, what country is the most retarded easy and fast to do it with?

>>2199136
im playing a shitty island in polynesia
then something in americas
then maybe madagascar
then my home region when i've learned the basics

>>2199145
Mughals

>>2199133
Yet they're a small niche company that can't afford to hire quality testers.

>>2199145
timurid into mughals is ol reliable for that job. any strong horde if you want to tryhard with raze and mana. austria after you click the 'i win' button to consolidate the hre

The positives
>The granularity is wonderful, the crunchiness supreme. The overall inter-connectivity of systems feels really good.
>The goods system, mechanically, is really nice. Both streamlined and crunchy, it seems like they hit a good balance.
>Having 1 dogturd ruler doesn't sandbag your entire run like it can in eu5. I think they did a good job modeling the effect of a monarch.
>The cabinet system seems really cool, and I hope it gets some more love. Characters within cabinet seem rather inert ATM, when IRL a strong presence in a cabinet could steer the executive just as much as the executive could steer cabinet.

The shit

>Exploititive and illogical the Parliament system is.... you get to enact law changes, temp tax bumps and CB fabrications even if the debate fails. In fact, sometime you want the debate to fail bc it givse a bonus you rather have. So seems like the meta is to pick the Debate with the highest initial support, give out Agendas that arent complete crap, then drain the support number in order to pass a Request like changing a Law or taxes or getting a CB. This seems counterintuitive to what a Debate should do...if you want the bonsues of the Requests you should need the Debate to pass
>Imbalanced as heck in some areas, but nothing that can't be addressed just by changing some numbers.
>The AI overall seems kinda weak and not really tapping into the longer gameplay loop.
>The sim-i-ness of the economy is lower than I’d like. Lots of magic money flying around when it comes to pops.
>Provinces only having 1 good is kinda silly. The granularity makes up for it a little bit, but, especially, in India and China, 500k folks in a place that ONLY produces legumes seems kinda silly.


I'm gonna wait and see before buying, personally. A year from now, it might be amazing.

>>2199152
>>Exploititive and illogical the Parliament system
Yeah, not looking forward to a dozen guides on the parliament meta.

>>2199152
>A year from now, it might be amazing.
yes just like how ck3 is with all the objectively bad dlc its gotten and who could forget the vic3 masterpiece

>>2199152
>>Provinces only having 1 good is kinda silly. The granularity makes up for it a little bit, but, especially, in India and China, 500k folks in a place that ONLY produces legumes seems kinda silly.
Welcome back, Victoria 2.

>>2199153
I like how half the streamers claim you just farm parliament for CBs, and the other half say you should never use it for CBs.

>>2199152
It does feel like the game will change completely in a year or so, I can't say whether it will be good or not but some of these systems are fundamentally retarded and just begging for a major rework.

>>2199153
I really hope estates have less of a mandatory set up. It always annoyed me in EU4 having to do nearly the same thing with them every time.

>>2199135
first time on the internet, newfriend?

>>2199157
This is a sign of the game's quality. There isn't a true singular best way.

I'm going to make a youtube channel called SnakekbiteStrategy and every thumbnail is just gonna be this guy.

>Releasing a game on tuesday.
Why?

>>2199167
I would watch you anon

>>2199108
It leaked

>>2199167

>>2199170
I know this artist.

>>2199168
The Spaniard wants everyone to embrace their way of life, avoiding work at all cost.

>>2199170
THE PENIS
CLOSES

>>2199168
Because hates you, hates the game and wants it to flop.

I can't wait to flush EU4 down the toilet where it belongs. I don't know if EU5 is going to be good or not, but I fucking know EU4 isn't.

From watching the various content creators, it seems to me that for autists this game is great. For brainlets that automate everything, the game sucks and/or is uninteresting/easy.

>>2198094
Optimism is creeping in. But I will only buy it after work on Friday at earliest. If /vst/ loves it and reddit hates it I'll even buy the premium edition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkzCLt2_miE&t=1455

>>2199183
Quarbit randomly got black people teleported into his norway so reddit is going to love it

>>2199185
As slaves at least?

>>2198051
The roman empire. The real one, not the larp ones

>>2199188
Brazil?

>>2199187
Yeah but they immediatly started chimping out

>>2199168
so they can release a patch on the same day and try to fix the game by the weekend

>>2199188
based Ottoman enjoyer

What's their problem?

>>2199198
inferiority complex

>>2199191
can you then sell the slaves to the ottomans? larp as 10th century vikang?

>>2199108
a lot of chuds are leaking from their clitties right now though

>>2199188

No idea, but you should be able to sell your slaves, right?

Timur is 1 year old at the start in the court of the country Barlas

Errrm fellas, should I buy the base game or the premium edition?

>>2199209
you should buy a rope

>>2199209
both, one of each
and make sure to use Clio Aite's referral link and code

>>2199209
you shouldn't buy it at all

>>2199209
please buy Victoria 3 instead, it's so much better than johan's slop

>>2199184
I feel like anyone who isn't autistic could already read that between the lines. At least he says it straight.

>>2199214
you are comparing piss to shit

>>2199207
yes unless they've changed that

>>2199209
buy base(d) edition and pirate all the dlc

>>2199211
huh? to use quarbit's referral link? sure thing.

It seems like this game was made for autists who want to do everything manually.
Playing with everything automated actively ruins the game for yourself, if the issue is that there's nothing to do in game.

Neck yourselves wizkeks

Vicky 3 is officially better than EU5 according to Bokoen1.

>>2199227
he should go easy on mcdonalds if he is struggling financially

>Vic3
>Being better than anything

>>2199234
>Bokoen1
So this confirms EU5 is the greatest GSG ever made?

>>2199234
grim

can I just refund the preorder and redo it? realizing now that parajew deserves less money

>>2199234
Vicky 3 isn't a good game so what does that say about EU5

>>2199214
Victoria 3 is a clicker/incremental game.
