Saudi Arabia : * Happiness noises *

[@ScottStratton]

I have a cunning plan ... But seriously, it’s idea/request/plea prompted by Drew not knowing why the farmland made such a difference. I don’t how many of you are like me, but with limited free time, learning the mechanics of EU4 is too daunting; too complex. I want to learn so I can play the game and better understand what is happening in Drew’s “experiments”. Surprisingly, but humorously, Drew is in the same boat. My request is this, could someone who really does understand EU4 and watches Drew make a video that explains the basic elements of the game mechanics in terms of how they affect AI only battles? Not super in depth, and you don’t have to worry about teaching a person to play and win. I am imagining bits like this (I am TOTALLY making up the particulars - example only): Farmland affects population growth, movement, and trade volume. But what really matter is pop growth early on. You saw all these unusual nations do well because in the base game many provinces start with too little farmland to grow fast enough to avoid being eaten up. Or, religion only affects diplomatic relations and how hard assimilating a conquered territory is, but neither matter enough to worry about. And perhaps explains a little behind the “release” (is that the right word?) of so many countries late game. Why does that happen and are there rules? How hard is colonization and why is it good? Why do colonies so often gain there independence around the same time? So a very different kind of video than a tutorial, let’s play, or “normal” help video and I can’t find one already made. If some saintly fan of Drew’s would make this, I bet he’d watch it and I know I definitely would! I am sure it’s a lot harder to do than I am thinking, and the “do it free” is probably not super attractive ... maybe someone trying to get their own channel off the ground? I bet Drew would be willing to give credit and a shoutout if someone does this and we can get Drew to notice!
