Yolomancer posted:Cool. I'll give it a shot. I just finished eating most of Bosnia, Serbia, Wallachia and Moldavia, but I didn't full annex them because I didn't want the AE and I don't really understand the best way to vassal feed. There's a diplo point trade off with vassalising now if you want to annex. I didn't think much of it until I tried to annex portugal for like 800 monarch points or something ridiculous.

I ain;lt played eu4 in so long there's so much poo poo changed, mostly for the better .The AI is still really dumb when it comes to making peace tho. I see them absolutely smash their opponent and then let war exhaustion and lonas rack up before they peace out for 1 province.

oh here's a tip for mamluk killing. if you have the mission that gives you claims on all of mamluk provinces do not force them to release anything because it causes the mission to fail

The war is going well, albeit with severely depleted manpower. I didn't know about Humanism, so thanks for that. I went Offensive first because I'm a filthy warmonger.

you get a mission to conquer cyprus iirc. i'd probably grab it anyway though since it won't be much AE. at least with no one that matters (no neighbors and french culture)

Would you consider the Total War series map games? I mean, it's basically the same concept and the Total War series does have some turds but also some good A+ fun games.

Oh man, I didn't even know about the Charlemagne DLC. Playing some kind of fat, drunkard impaler who's locked himself in his castle sounds like a welcome change from the genius supermen I usually play as.

I would, since I spend most of my time in the world map just autoskipping battles. It's probably more of an RTS though.
