People keep complaining about how you only play eu4 for the first 100 years, and later it becomes stale, starting earlier means that people have to play to reach the colonial, making playing longer more varied and interesting. I don't like it that much but I see why they did it. For me some countries will become very OP.

[@hanneswiggenhorn2023]

I think it probably all depends on the anti blobbing mechanics. If countries could actually break apart like in CK it would probably be much more fun for longer

[@marciedahomie4700]

I think it will be cool to play out the full 100 years war.

[@wachtwoord5796]

You stop after 100 years cause at that point you're so much stronger than everyone else it's not interesting anymore. An earlier start date won't fix that. Hopefully different game mechanics will.

to be honest - I prefer having missions described in programming style than having inaccurate requirements or long descriptions that I would have no motivation to read

[@notme8232]

Yeah, descriptions of code should read like code IMO, just git gud lmao

[@noneofyourbusiness3288]

Honestly I love the "programming language" style for the requirements of missions and decisions. Makes it very clear, especially when every requirement has a small checkmark or cross next to it.

[@wachtwoord5796]

Programming style is great actually. The problem is they dont display scoping properly by delimiting it with indentation or brackets.

[@adisca2k]

Yeah, the requirements are easier to read in the code than in the game thanks to the brackets and consistent indentation. Still better than some abstract block of text describing the requirements, although I am a programmer so ofc I will prefer programming style.

[@wachtwoord5796]

@@adisca2k also a programmer here but it's simply better as natural text will often be ambiguous and always harder to understand without reading all/most of the text.

[@SereglothIV]

Te Cossack letter is an easter egg to a real historical event. Google 'Letter of Zaporozhian Cossacks to Ottoman sultan', it has its own wikipedia page. Although I must admit, it's the funniest in Polish and most of the English translations don't do it justice 😅 Regarding army compostion, after 1200-1300 hours, I still play with a mix of everything xD It just works most of the time and I can't be bothered with minamxing that aspect of the game. And I always thought the call for peace icon is just some angry chest with bubbles in it xD

[@exodud5016]

As someone that studied programming years ago, I very much apologize, because the "one of the following must be true>all of the following must be true>etc" is very much how I thought normal people would describe such a task until today.

[@notme8232]

OMG SAME! It's so much easier for me to understand than plain text would be.

[@joew5495]

Half the Reddit thinks the game is boring because they do extreme WC's every time. The other half of the reddit is so bad I can't believe they're so bad.

[@ArianneBlaire777]

On the EU4 forums there is an Odd Screenshots topic which is almost always fascinating. Might be good for a reaction video

[@Argacyan]

With bad culture groups I would say I find more joy in having mods which make groups based on linguistics & using the asymmetry to play in different ways. A mod could also introduce spreading new variants of a group (say using Cultural Influence) which makes me feel more like I have a dynamic impact on the world than just going from A to B.

I think the worst thing about the tooltips is not the way EU4 works. The worst thing is that it is so much harder to understand tooltips in Vic3. I legitimately cannot even decipher a lot of journal entries in Victoria 3 and I play it a lot. I have little to no confidence that Paradox is moving in the right direction on this.

[@velicanavc500]

[@notme8232]

I don't know what he's talking about, I love how EU4 tooltips are so easy to logically follow, almost like a flowchart. Little to no room for misinterpretation, always clear exactly what is and is not required. Maybe it's because I'm a programmer lol

2:00 - Quick take on "Infantry to cover the frontline" The single first battle you have, that infantry won't cover the entire frontline anymore due losses (40k usually have way more than 1k losses from a equally matched battle).

[@hanneswiggenhorn2023]

Also as far as I'm aware the AI evaluates culture groups when deciding where to expand, so turkish being in the levant culture group means the Ottomans will focus a bit more on expanding south rather than north through crimea, even if the north would allow for quicker expansion
