EU4 but EUROPE is PRIMITIVE

[@mackycabangon8945]

i think if u wanna nerf europe u have to change trade. Like make the end nodes Canton/Hangzhou, Gujarat/Coromandel and Malacca/Nippon

[@airking2883]

exactly,trade is such a vital part of the game but often overlooked at how much impact it can have over the course of the game.extra income effectively is extra mana through advisors and extra manpower via mercs.

[@EmilyAliceTempest]

Yeah I absolutely despise the fact that end nodes are predetermined... Makes the game totally eurocentric

[@Real_Gigachaddi]

@@EmilyAliceTempest well it was historical true. Following discovery of America.. Europe was flooded with silver and gold giving them purchasing power..(Italians acted as middle men between Muslims and Christians following Ottoman sanctions over conquest of Granada etc) While discovery of potato and other things from new world and increased health spending through new money and emancipation ultimately resulted in population boom in Europe and thus made it a consumption economic power with much purchasing power..

[@hotman_pt_]

@@Real_Gigachaddi i just wish they were dinamic. You can't even steer trade from North america to Iberia or from europe in general to the americas. I know its supposed to be historical and the engine problably doesn't support this, but would open so many new scenarios

[@EmilyAliceTempest]

@@Real_Gigachaddi this is not a history game, this is an alt history game. Hence why the trade flow makes no sense for this purpose.

[@adamdarkazanli]

the reason why Europeans will always do well despite nerfs is trade. all trade nodes end in europe which will ultimatley make them rich. switch the flow of trade and see what happens

[@KofteG61]

Switching trade flow would be really interesting

[@spencerbuck1074]

Do you think a mod like this would work if you didn't want to bother trying to change trade directions and just gave massive trade debuffs to every country? It'd be the easy way out but you'd be taking trade out of the game pretty much. Maybe it'd balance things out.

[@adamdarkazanli]

@@spencerbuck1074 thats would just make everyone poorer. switching trade flows incentivizes eastern contries to conquer west and increase trade. i dont know how much the AI considers this when planning but it would be cool to see if it changes anything

[@walkseva]

It's scenarios like these where I wish eu4's trade system was more dynamic. Even with the institution and idea buffs, trade flow messes with AI behavior and flushes Europe with cash, even if they're in the gutter.

[@MyFunnyVids888]

Yeah the best way to nerf europe in the game is to purposely make sure they are as decentralized as possible so they cant monopolize trade. Its weird. I agree that trade needs to be more dynamic like if some of the missions changed the flow of trade, made new trade regions, or made certain nodes into end nodes personally that would create a much better roleplay/historical as well as a-historical play

[@AliArda_Dalseckin]

I think it would be nicer if you showed where the last three institutions spawned.

[@Foaklore]

Definitely need to change trade to in order to properly achieve the goal of making Asia the centre of power. The way it was done here Europe still has the powerful nodes and end nodes and all that. I've always had a similar idea to this video in my head. Having the tech and institutions changed was just the top of the iceberg however. This is shown with how quickly the Europeans caught up even with their disadvantage, still ending up with many top great powers at the end.

[@shanedussault740]

You can complain about the ottomans but they bordered multiple nations that had feudalism that they naturally want to expand into or ally before the tech difference matters. Meaning they get to absolutely crush the eastern europeans As for franceeurope staying relatively low tech and the early eco means no one around them had the economy tech or ideas to defend themselves and you see a similar situation as the ottomans esp with the franco otto alliance giving france access to institutions earlier than theur neighbours as well

[@MahsaKaerra]

I wonder how much more the nations in Asia would have conquered if the direction of trade flow had been changed in their favour as well. Other than national missions, or rarely incentivised by leader traits, territorial expansion doesn't happen when it is not economically advantageous to do so. Could you make all the old world trade nodes go the other way? See if that changes anything.
