New to the channel? I do Let's Play videos -- these are like walkthrough guides of gameplay with continuous English commentary trying to explain my decisions and what strategy I use. If you're looking for hacks or cheats, you're in the wrong place!

"Dear Aragon, you smell like poo." ~Castille 1448

[@Ruadvin]

As someone that's wanted to get into this game for a long time, and I only own vanilla, wanted to say thanks for making this tutorial that helps explain the dozens of numbers and other info in the game that's been totally overwhelming me every time I try to play.

[@VeteranShark]

+Ruadvin once you played vanilla once or twice buy the dlc it adds more depth and replay value to the game!

[@Ruadvin]

+VeteranShark I intend to someday. Waiting for the planets to align at the right time when I have money to blow and they go on sale at the same time. I know the dlc's go on sale quite frequently.

[@Biomirth]

+Ruadvin Quill and Arumba have many many videos over the years that are great for beginners. It takes a few hours to get comfortable but after you get the basics the rest slowly falls into place.

[@HelixGameEngine]

I think the vanilla is more friendly to beginner, DLCs add a lot of complexity and make it hard for beginner

[@timahlqvist3136]

I agree!

[@PeruvianPotato]

Tip for new players like myself: Send Enrique as one of the generals of the army and hopefully he dies and you get a better heir or a heir that can initiate the Iberian Wedding Also when I followed this tutorial, I had allied Portugal, Aragon, and the Papal States and vassalized Navarra so when I declared war, Aragon and the Papal States were clapping Tunis' cheeks that I didn't really have to do anything. Even in eu4 1.30 this tutorial holds up well, thanks Quill

[@TheZeyon]

I have 1080 hours on EU4 and I still watch these. Good tutorials Quill!

[@scylax7669]

I only got the one for trade. Still have trouble with that.

[@danicm9322]

fucking trade kills me

[@martinaustin6230]

Isuru Nanayakkara Nothing is more complicated than the fort mechanics

[@militarian9759]

I play hearts of iron 4 and love it. Is the game good? I’m thinking of getting it

[@ashc4h488]

3 hours currently on this game. Mastered trarde. Money!

[@eurostar0711]

I had to join Portugal in their war with Morocco so i took advantage and got 5 provinces from Morocco. THEN, i took the 3 provinces in the south of Castilla. I god the Personal Union with Aragon so my next move will be to take all of Portugal. Im in year 1460. Half of Morocco will be mine so ill probably take the other half in 1490s or so. This game is so fun, im a newbie but i love history.

[@gryffith1378]

How do personal unions work, how do I initiate it with Aragon

[@aarongorton1984]

game is good but ull like Victoria 2 more both good games

[@Crescent-IV]

Yes, as we all know that Spain integrated Portugal 😂

[@sinecurve9999]

France be like "gg, guys..."

[@houseking9211]

lol

[@rhettorical]

Monsieur Stark, je ne me sens pas trop bien.

[@vastowen4562]

in my game it was burgundy and france vs. me, england, and portugal and the same thing happened lmao

[@FoundationAfro]

Playing along, my war did not go quite as well as yours. Granada was allied with Morocco and Tlemcen, who completely stomped me. Fun times! But seriously, this is a sweet series. I've watched Unstable Voltage's, which are awesome, but play out like a series of lessons. Watching a tutorial with real-time gameplay is super helpful.

[@utubeistehsux]

Stacks are more likely to flee/scatter without leader according to the tutorial :) Might want to add that add 19:00

[@grey_apache]

This tutorial is so much better than the paradox one, thank you!

[@L33ch5]

Thank you Quill. You have a way with words. Excellent guide series for someone who is learning to play.

[@lunuria6123]

I'm grateful to be learning details on how to play this game, just got it and was feeling a bit overwhelmed.

[@puckernet8155]

Is it possible to add closed captions to this video? I've completed 1-3 however, 4 and 5 are missing CC and I really need it to continue this very informative series.

[@jippy33]

I find it fascinating how mechanics in Paradox games pop up in different places. Like, siege mechanics in EU4 and archeology digs in Stellaris? Yeah, sure let's use the same mechanic:D

[@Colaris99]

I wish I could understand just one game mechanic as much as you seem to understand all of them you play. Really appreciate your guides over the years but this is one game that's going to take me soooo long to get my head around, if ever.

[@9pmInTokyo]

Quill, these are really helping me. Thank you so much.

[@Muck006]

Hint: you CAN use "control groups" (CTRL + 1,2,3, ...) like in an RTS for your armies/fleets. The major benefit for this isnt really better unit control but rather the ability to quickly jump to the unit. You can do the same by clicking on the army/fleet in the "list" (outliner) on the right, but that would use the mouse and a key is always quicker. Personally I even rename my armies/fleets to the province they are "stationed in" (during peacetime). This helps spreading them more evenly across my empire to combat rebel uprisings.

[@colmortimer1066]

I have been really enjoying these, I have not played since a couple months after launch, and it is a good way to get back in and into the new features. One thing though, there is a lot of DLC for EU4, and it is not quite as cut and dry as crusader kings, where most DLC lets you play new government or religious types and adds features to the new playable types. It would be great to see a video or small series on what the EU4 DLC does, so I can determine which, if any, are worth getting.

[@jjtheblue11]

+colmortimer1066 Imo honestly all are worth it especially on sale.

[@KarhuGaming]

+colmortimer1066 I agree with Joshua Mills, if you like EUIV - or Paradox's grand strategy games in general -- then any and all of the expansions are good.

[@jakalordarkblood4331]

+colmortimer1066 Conquest of Paradise is a DLC you will only want if you want to randomize the New World, since all of it's other functions were moved to the base game. Not that great IMO, I own it but rarely ever use it.

[@Maladictem]

Watching this tutorial, even after the hundreds of hours I have in this game, reminds me that there is a ton I have no clue about. Trade always confused me and I didn't a lot of the details to combat that he went over in this game.

[@aryko1]

Sadly there is no good german tutorial but what i learned here exceeded my expectations by far . Well done ! I hope you gonna do a new series since much changed in this game .

[@kaisersly]

These videos make EUIV's mechanics so easy to understand. You should do the same with CKII (Stellaris would be fine too ;-)

[@Raptorx911]

42:00 missing those heavies yet, quill? I'm miffed that you decided to advise people to dump heavies in a tutorial. Sure, going all lights (especially early game) is a legitimate tactic, but keeping AT LEAST the three heavies you started with is also a legitimate tactic, especially when you knew a naval war with the North-African Muslims was coming. For those here to learn the game: don't toss your heavies if you can afford them, especially if you have the expansions (one of which allows you to mothball ships like heavies when at peace, reducing the money drain from upkeep). 42:45 Not regretting getting rid of the heavies, eh? Yea, sure, don't learn from your mistakes. Great attitude for a tutorial. This war would be cheaper for you, and quicker, if you had absolute naval supremacy throughout. You could have killed (or vastly reduced) their fleets early on, blockaded with the heavies and transports, and sent your light ships back to protecting trade to increase trade income. 46:20 Did anybody catch how quickly those 3 Portuguese heavies (that reinforced their transports) annihilated those 5 enemy ships (2 light, 2 galley, 2 trans). Huh, guess keeping those heavies payed off for Portugal. >.

[@ZakTheFallen]

+Raptorx911 I fully agree, it's not worth destroying those 3 heavies, just in case you need them for a war. In my Castille game, I took Granada when they had no allies, but then was fighting England AND Portugal so I could defend France. We won the war, but my 3 heavies were pretty useless in that case. England and Portugal have much stronger navies, they had 8 heavies combined! But, I was able to win a war against Aragon and Naples thanks to those same heavy ships, because combined with France's navy we curb-stomped both countries and took some land. :D

[@Raptorx911]

ZakTheFallen Naval combat verses England early game? That's a paddlin'. ;) Still, your war with Aragon/Naples was on point. I was a little worried quill would get a surprise declaration of war from Aragon and then enjoy repeated naval landings from Naples since he disbanded his naval control. He could still easily win, but it would be EASIER if he kept his fleet competitive. Quill just performed what I call the 'Arumba fleet strategy' (even though many others often do it, including DDRJake), because Arumba is so anti-heavy it's frightening.

[@direvus]

I love that you're only 5 years in to this campaign and it's already very different than my Castile run. I started out being hated by England and France, peacefully annexed Navarra and got a PU over Aragon. I am best buddies with Portugal, but I am a little concerned about how fast they are colonising in the Caribbean and they took a huge chunk out of Marrakesh and Morocco too. They might already be too powerful for me to do anything about and they are allied with England.

[@AxelQC]

The 5 hour tutorial.

[@wizardwhohasmorempthanhp]

Been playing a bit then watching these tutorials. Really helping me to break into the game. Thanks, Quill. Long time fan btw.

[@bloodangel9403]

If Castille were to guarantee Navarra, what would be the chances of Aragon declaring war on them?

[@zrthia1754]

I'm not sure if it's any different than an alliance. It's all about how powerful Castile is.

[@bloodangel9403]

+A nimation Well excuse me if I'm making dumb questions so that I can learn how to play the game. Maybe you could try to be less of an jerk and answer for a change.

[@jjtheblue11]

+Blood Angel Usually stops ai declaring war on the guaranteed country in my experience.

[@jjtheblue11]

+A nimation Why the hell is it a dumb question if the person has little experience of the game?

[@bloodangel9403]

+joshua mills Exactly, thank you. Especially since I'm asking something in a video called "Tutorial for Beginners" lol

[@franzfanz]

Anyone else think that admirals and generals should have separate maximum leader limits?

[@Tosnoob]

+James Burtton The only leaders I'd like to see seperated are Explorers. Make their stats a guaranteed 0/0/x so they won't be used for warfare but in turn you don't lose MIL just by doing the colonial game. Being Portugal with usually weak MIL leaders and always having -2 MIL due too focus + two leaders is suffering.

[@aarongorton1984]

NO BUT THEYSHOULD GAIN BENEFITS AND THEY DO WITH DLCS :0

[@soccertony2]

This game was wildly confusing until I watched this series. Thanks a ton!

[@Tosnoob]

You can check what the last siege roll was at the icon to the left of the "regiments needed" number.

[@IllyrianPrince14]

Ive been a Total War fan all my life, played many strategy games including Civ and love all of them, I just bought this and I was really struggling as this game is complicated as shit, but these tutorials are literally the best thing I have seen on KZbin, this game might top them all off, the strategy behind it..my god. anyway got 3 more episodes left until I start my first real campaign in EU4.. so excited, what nation do you guys suggest i start with? I wanted to do Castille but now I feel like itll be boring as I watched this

[@qinyunyi8036]

Got the game a couple days ago myself and I'm stating as Castile too. I think it's the one most recommend, as well as Ottomans and Portugal, so I will go with Castile.

[@IsaiahReitanFilm]

Illyrian Prince get this is a year old. My reply is mainly for anyone new who might read this. I’d recommend France assuming you watched this tutorial. It’s extremely easy to secure your southern border with alliances and everyone to your east is to weak to attack you. So you can basically just focus on England for awhile. It’s good for new players because there’s a lot of room to make mistakes due to all these advantages.

[@gryffith1378]

Illyrian Prince I’m in your position rn but I feel like watching this videos is a chore like homework, my question is, is the game worth it/does playing it get better?

[@KarlFranzEmperor]

@@gryffith1378 the game is a map painter, you basically set your own goals and try achieve them...thinking is the best way to play this, it's not like TW or CIV that you have the exact "big army=victory" type of gameplay...you focus on many things and trust me if you learn the basics you can have so much fun with wars and generally making the name of your nation larger and larger

[@aarongorton1984]

me to but this game and vic 2 beatrs all total wars

[@ZanathKariashi]

transports are the 2nd toughest ships in the game after heavies, they just don't much in the way of damage strength. But having transports can make your fleet much tougher if the enemies target them instead of your more fragile lights and galleys giving your lights/galleys time to finish their enemies and attack them.

[@oldjoe182]

Quill use more map modes, they are really helpfull for beginners to understand whats where at glance. especially who fighting whom when multiple wars, alliances, religions spread, etc

[@cumhurbabaoglu2585]

Could you make a new video to discuss differences between and new features in DLCs?

[@H3Maelstrom]

Quill, because you were vastly stronger than Navarra, you would have taken over as war leader against Aragon and friends. Since this is a beginning tutorial as Castile, you should know that this war dec happens very often from Aragon. It is one of the early ways to get at war with Aragon without having to deal with Portugal as well (which is possible, but definitely drains your force limit). And no, Portugal would not have joined. They were allied with England and at war with France AND Navarra already. They could not have joined because they were already at war with Navarra.

[@martinaustin6230]

I have 600 hours in this game and I had no idea maneuver value lowers the weight value of troops and thus lowers attrition.

[@TwiShy27]

this tutorial is great! im still struggling to get anything done in any run but im not sure what i couldve done toi prevent aragon, france, orleans, and brittany from invading portugal

[@peterharvin5650]

So helpful thanks

[@orko4185]

Embargo non-Rival does NOT reduce your trade power! It gives a -10% to income from collecting gold, where you are collecting (home or others). Nothing else 'just' a flat reduction of gold earned from collecting. (interesting fact, the modifier from collecting gold can never fall below 0%, so can't be negative. You never can loose gold from collecting. Interesting to consider to embargo more than a few over your rival limit. Like lets say everyone in the world) (unless paradox change the mechanic again but last time I checked it was the case working this way, can't check newest patch since i play on older version and don't want to risk my save game ;) )

[@BloodRider1914]

Can you bombard coastal areas with ships?

[@Chironex_Fleckeri]

Requires Golden Century Expansion. It also allows a flagship among other things. Posting for future reference.

[@commentingpausedtoprotectus]

@ 33:05 for example I see the army has a -70% next to it's name, I may have missed this being explained but could anybody tell me what this means please ? EDIT 34:30 -70% chance of siege success :) These really are the best tutorials! They should come with the game :p

[@devonsigala166]

This series made me play Castilla for like the 5th time and France got in the same war against the English alliance and they were cut down to three provinces by England

[@jorishozee2943]

"If someone wants to declare war on you, just say no! They cannot legally declare war on you without your consent."

[@BrendanBeckett]

Has anyone ever told you you sound a bit like Brian Kibler from Magic/Hearthstone?

[@ranko.5930]

problem i face is that granada always allies with marroco and from that moment has a bigger manpower that i cannot possibly overcome. how do i deal with this?

[@brocasable]

This may not be the right place to ask but are the multiplayer series with Mathas, Northerlion, and Arumba over? I dearly miss Quill and Arumba battling it out while Mathas and NL fumble along.

[@linuxuserroot]

you will continue this series till the end??

[@mcebelt]

Why didn't you make Enrique a general to increase his chance of dying?

[@zrthia1754]

That is a good plan, but you would lose 2 stability.

[@LostStudios]

+Jelemy Only if he dies in a battle

[@MrMcmokka]

+Jelemy Still worth it. Seriously. Even if you choose to pay the 250 admin up front for +2 stab, if you get an average heir with 3 admin, this heir will only need to be king for 84 months (7 years) for it to be worth it. And all extra diplo+military points are just gravy. Enrique SUCKS!

[@stevemorrow5140]

"How's the French wars... France is in 3 separate wars, awesome, good for them. They're boned" Ha ha ha ha ha ha I loved the sarcasm.

[@hoseja]

Did you accept the Reconquista quest?

[@coldmedicine]

+hoseja yes he did. that's how he got the casus belli

[@eurostar0711]

I was allied to France and got called to several wars, took Brittany, part of Portugal and Granada. Upgraded some provinces to maximize trade profit. Was making like 12 ducat income. Then i tried to take England and they killed all my soldiers. I took half of England but i wanted to control all of it so i kept going and wasnt able to get a higher war score.

[@ulascancnarl7433]

19:05 For a moment I thought you were going to say "fuck and shire" there :D

[@rasmusblomberg7373]

I wanted to "play along" to this, as in follow the same path of war with Grenada, peace with Frace (I got a start with France not as Rival) .... 10 mins into playing I got curious and started to send off ships to the new world with no knowledge of colonisation, still no war with Grenada, and I'm 10k soldiers deep into a war with Portugal (whom I have a royal marriage with..?) and England. Interesting.

[@danjal87nl]

I know that this is a beginners tutorial - but even as someone who has primarily learned from watching your and Arumba's LPs and hasn't really played much on my own I can't help but feel the need to bully Tunis some and see if there's some vassal to be broken off down there or whatnot. It'd be a waste to just 'wait' and do nothing for several ingame years. Even though such a war effort would result in troop losses.

[@matthewsauer9915]

When I go into my light ships there is no option to protect trade plz help!

[@aarongorton1984]

supply shortage don't need i just leave troops there doesent matter what die i get eventually they will break :) but blockading helps speed up this process

[@tennesseefairfield8497]

Easy for you. For me, Granada was allied with Tunisia and Morocco, but I had Aragon on my side.

[@militarian9759]

Should I get this game. I have HOI4 it’s one of my favorite games. I want to see and new time peroid so is this game good?

[@adamk.6466]

So basically you said that we will be going to lose troops due to attrition, but it stayed at 9,852 all the time when you were sieging Garnatah. Can someone explain this to me?

[@aarongorton1984]

if 9000 is needed to siege fort what about attrition does that not factor in? youll have less troops after attrition to siege fort??

[@Shaunus82]

I have been following through with this tutorial series, and i must say at this point that I'm a total novice when it comes to EUIV. I have been extremely unlucky in my first attempt, as I have had several negative events which has really crippled me. Enrique is unfortunately my new ruler after the king died, and I have put him to lead one of my armies in the hope that he will die, I have also lost 10 prestige due to a random event, and I'm really thinking that I'm going to have to start over. i never seem to have much luck with these games. But this is a great tutorial series.

[@kingdom99hearts]

I started my first game as Castille and allied France and got dragged into a 10 year war against England Austria and Portugal. We did great but France took so long to peace out so I declared on Aragon and forgot to turn my land maintenance back up and got destroyed then the British landed and tucked up my 20 stack, but Enrique died for me and I got a 4/4/5 Queen for a replacement then the civil ear started and I GOT the Iberian wedding which spawned more rebels I have like 50k rebels to fight with. Thank goodness that France and my new bud Aragon are helping lol.

[@Shaunus82]

It never ceases to amaze me how differently this game plays out each time you play it. and this is typical of all Paradox games, and is why I love them so much for the replayability.

[@kingdom99hearts]

Its pretty great and i like the fluctuation you can make a mistake but it not destroy your game you just peace out and wait and recover.

[@shinydewott]

R.I.P.

[@hym7844]

Hello, I think there was a new actualisation and I can't get early on a casus belli against Grenada because my mission ist to "prepare the reqonquista" and i need to max out my army and fleet and i have to get 60.0% manpower (boost or smth idk). HELP PS. Decisions and Missioms are split and the spanish missions look other than by you :((

[@mrwoodman2614]

18:42 "How do you can tell that" ^^

[@mrwoodman2614]

19:00 you almost said a bad word xD

[@michaelplace4754]

I did everything in the video and somehow I have no war goal selected idk how I choose what he choose in the video

[@AKNeal81]

France is in 3 different wars. Good for them. HA! I lost it!

[@darkbatista1]

how many forces do we need ?.....OVER 9000 !!!

[@mishatarkus]

10:49 "It is really important to have a bit of an [???]" What does he say there?

[@deadm8708]

"...to have a bit of a nest egg". Like, a lot of ,money sitting there, so that when he bumps up the troop maintenance, the economy can cope :)

[@TheXtractor]

I bought this game after seeing these tutorials because i've always found the game interesting but too complicated to dive into. Tried it for a few hours yesterday and had good fun, but found it really hard to get more than like +0.5 income. Is this because i choose very small nations with only a few provinces as starting position (I wanted to try starting as my home country). e.g i tried some dutch ones but its been really rough in the first few years. Also is it bad to start a nation that is under a different nation, it seems a big disadvantage not having independance.

[@franzfanz]

+llindenau Start with a larger nation like Castile, France, the Ottomans, Muscovy. England is a good pick as you can just turn to colonisation if you lose your European holdings and use your ships to defend your homeland. If you want to play in the Holy Roman Empire then choose Brandenburg as they have super soldiers. I would say that Portugal is the easiest nation but perhaps the most boringist as you can use Castile/Spain as a shield while you beat up natives in the New World. Castile is probably my number one pick for starting as you can do a little bit of everything. Don't start your first game as vassal/less partner. You need a big army/good allies to break free.

[@TheXtractor]

Alright i'll try that until im better at the game :D

[@maxben3391]

+llindenau Yeah, playing smaller nations is much harder. Also, when you click on a nation on the country pick menu notice that there is a bar that showed you how hard or easy it is to play. It takes into consideration many different factors and can give you an indication regarding whether you are jumping into the deep end of the pool. Also, most of the dutch minors are vassals of Burgundy at this point, if you took one of those then part of your monthly income goes straight to Burgundy. Lastly, early on in the game you have little ability to up your gold because you can't build buildings yet. Let me point out that once you do get better and you do manage to play a dutch minor and turn it into the Netherlands, you get an amazing country with a unique mechanic!

[@wolfgalax8204]

Go to WAR!!!! Help Navarra!! We will win this You have made my Moral very very high edit - Sad you declined Navarra.

[@aarongubragh6201]

Whenever I try to invade Granada, the Ottomans and Morocco automatically join in.

[@someperson3154]

Can someone here explain to me how to maintain a low Liberty desire percent with Aragon and Naples cause I have a PU with them and they have 60% and 40% Liberty desire already.(sorry for grammatical mistakes).

[@maxben3391]

+Some person There is an option in the vassal management tab to lower your own prestige to lower their Liberty Desire. You can also build a larger army then them and, more difficult, a larger economy. Lastly, just plain relations, throw diplomat at them.

[@jari948]

30:31 i'm not gonna math it. is that like a thousand people? calculater clicks... XD

[@aarongorton1984]

complex game very addictive though

[@skullyboi1215]

Im wondering how 15 major powers didnt ally with granda

Don't forget that embargos grant cbs

[@samoht7703]

sueing for peace makes alot more sense in this game compared to ck2 omg

[@CptSlow89]

dont get the roll thing man, played ck2 , I guess you just need to stand there till won siege lol

[@aarongorton1984]

you dident mention leaders generals whivch gives your units a HUGGGGGGGGGGEEE boost

[@aarongorton1984]

VICTORIA 2 HAS EXPANSION AND WAR SCORE TO ITS SCARY HOW IDERNTICAL THESE GAMES ARE to each other

[@aarongorton1984]

is fun playing as Austria i nthis game as you are the leader of roman empire :p

[@ckhawk00]

I don't know why they can't split up the available leaders so the navy and army are separate.

[@danjal87nl]

Leaders represent *all* leaders. Not just navy and army (though generals and admirals are the primary 2). Which primarily comes into its own once you have a nation that doesn't really do both land and sea games. At which point it'd be very annoying to have half your potential leader slots 'locked down' because they've been dedicated to sea or land leaders. (Note that the explorer and conquistador etc are also 'leaders'.)

[@jakalordarkblood4331]

+Danjal Veskandar It's very rare for anyone to ever make Admirals, because the limit is one leader for players. Even naval nations like England rarely make them until later on when they have a higher limit. Even then, you can just put it into more Generals, since Generals are just more useful.

[@ckhawk00]

Danjal Veskandar you buy leaders with different monarch points, so I don't see why they can't use a separate formula for determining them. Like it was said below it's silly for a coastal power to have to share the leader pool.

[@danjal87nl]

ckhawk00 Right now you have all your leaders share the same slots. If you need more generals than admirals then thats fine. If they forced a split, but you're landlocked. You'll be permanently left with half your "leader slots" locked to navy without every going to build a single ship. I think you have the idea that by splitting them you suddenly get twice as many leaders - but that would drastically unbalance the game. If they were split you would simply take twice as long before a second or third leader slot were to unlock for each catagory to balance the difference and you'd overall still be left with the same number of leaders. TL;DR - you would become less flexible and have decreased control.

[@danjal87nl]

Carl Gripenberg I've seen plenty of games where people use admirals. And then there's explorers... Which I believe like conquistadors also fit in the leader catagory?

[@carsonchiu6069]

decided to start a castille game.... britain and france both rivaled me, nope'd the fuck outta that game

[@aarongorton1984]

better to say that as some ppl don't care for calculations let paradox worry about that

[@wassemmashlah3070]

Can we play it on ipad ?

[@duckmapping1831]

hmm let's think about it for a while uh it requires NVIDIA® GeForce 8800 or ATI Radeon® X1900, 1024mb video memory recommended (512mb video memory required minimum) to play and i don't think an iPad would have that

[@AHMEDALI-vq4vc]

no every ipad has that, bill gates is amazing

[@Crescent-IV]

Ahhh, the 1400’s. Renown for the invention of the clothing press.

[@callumsymons7991]

Hey did you hear about the terrorist attack in france?

[@danjal87nl]

Don't think that carrying that joke within this context is very tasteful.

[@callumsymons7991]

[@pukes1045]

Know what sucks!?!? I got a stupid event that made me lose one stability and my economy is going to trash it is currently at 2.54 and a lot of other things are going bad too the event told me after!

[@Gawagu]

You can spend Power to boost you stability by +1 each time. Under "Stability and Expansion" the "Boost" button at "Stability". Had to figure that out too.

Quill's using maths, watch out Arumba.

This game, I swear to God. I conquer a country, work on integrating it, put down rebellions, then get a random event that spawns a stack that's a third again as strong as my entire military. It's like playing a roguelike where you run into complete RNG events where the game says, "You lose."

Yea I remember in EU3 where you would get -100 Stability if a butterfly farted on the opposite side of the world from you at random times.

Great. I allied France. France brought me into a war against England. England was allied with Portugal so Portugal declared war on me. Now Portugal and England are messing me up.
