Any Map Gamers here? This is a reminder that using "Kebab" and "Remove kebab" when referring to the Ottomans and/or Muslims in general is STRICTLY forbidden. There has been a recent up-tick in usage of these terms so I am making sure that everyone is very, very aware of Paradox's stance. Using these terms is considered racism, and so is against the Terms of Service and can result in infractions. Knuc U Kinte fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Jun 6, 2018 |

Arumba is so inept at EU4 cf how good he is at CK2. He plays EU4 like he's been smoking crack.

Buschmaki posted:Do I need any other DLC for EU4 other than Conquest of Paradise? I think the only other one is like, a $20 expansion pack all about the Netherlands so it might not be worth it. CoP is probably the most worthless DLC unless you wanna play native americans...WoN is the other good one with changes to trade.

He has good ideas when playing EU4, but he's got tunnel vision or something. Like he prioritises prestige over army trad when taking missions and he gets distracted doing poo poo that doesn't even matter in the scheme of his goals.

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.

DICKHEAD posted:i did a venice game where i carved through egypt to india. if you have res publica you put a trade post in every trade center province and then in india you grab all the trade provinces and protectorate everyone else and you get insane income because trade power of republics increases goods produced so all you have to do is be strong in an area and your protectorates will generate bonus goods Hmm.

Has anyone done luck of the Irish? I just started as Ulster and Englad is protective of me...dunno whether I should ride that out and stab them in the back after stealing Scotland, or go full retard and try to beat up England with Scotlant.

I always lol at how crazy France is. I wanna do that Netherlands chieve and I had a poke around to see how people managed it and they all have these crazy strats to crack burgunday when they're weak by allying certain people and taking certain provinces immediately, but all I did was set a diplomat in france and beg them to be my ally and wait while France simultaneously beats them and Castile up for me.

gently caress France. I waited out their gay war to see if they would give me stuff and they didn't, so I went to plan B which was to attack the coalition chain and bring in Burgundy because they warned me (lmao at being able to warn me with a truce, but whatever). France peaced out before I could even siege the 2 provinces I wanted and took they poo poo they sieged, leaving me high and dry against half of Norther Europe. Lmfao.
