This EU4 mod is MORE EXTRME than VOLTAIRE'S NIGHTMARE

[@amyzonis]

Very cool to see you play our mod! Up until now our focus has been on mapwork and mechanics, and are only beginning to truly get into content production. Fun to see some crazy scenarios nonetheless! Development is more numerous, but less impactful, and diseases, which will act as a limiting factor, have yet to be fully implemented. Colonization really only got serious in the 1600s, and is thus more harshly limited early. It is unfortunate that performance is what it is. I honestly would buy an expansion that was just an engine update for EU4 in a heartbeat. We'll probably convert the mod over to EU5 when it releases, which I'm expecting in 2026. So perhaps check back with us in a year when we've had time to add much more content and tune up the mechanics a bit more, or we're all playing in a superior EU5 game engine. Thanks for reviewing the mod!

[@siritio3553]

Crazy how much time and effort you've guys put into this and you have plans for more. GL with your mod!

[@Chewbert]

Hey cheers! I have been working on my own big mod for a little over a year now so I totally understand your frustrations with the limitations of the EU4 engine. I wish you all the success either way, dope project!

This mod gives Aragon Kongdom a Coastline in tortosa? Pretty weird, it has allways been landloked. The constitution of the Kingdom of Valencia Stablishes the boarder with catalonia in the Senia River, South of Tortosa.

[@Redactedredacted5837]

The fans will continue to eagerly wait for the EU5 conversion!

[@RegentPandora]

I'm a little concerned by how much depth EU4 players are willing to go to completely brick the computers of fellow masochists still running Windows XP in 2024.

[@Chewbert]

Windows XP too OP

[@Tyrgalon]

This mod is just babysteps, it has far to go before its close to "Meiou & Taxes" in terms of map, depth and mechanics.

[@WisdomLearner]

So don't run Windows XP when connecting to the internet, you'll get calls from some random Slav or Chinese bloke demanding Bitcoin for your computer's access.

[@DaGaJbmKojJe]

You should write "willing to go to, to completely brick" not "willing to go to completely brick" you are missing one "to" 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

I have found you discord homie.

[@edim108]

The funny thing is that if EU4 had actual multithreading like CK3 this would run pretty good. All these provinces wouldn't be an issue if the game used more than a single core for all processes.

[@Chewbert]

It would certainly help!

[@subgivtara]

it uses at most 30% of my CPU :

[@Kinglysharkis]

Wait, it's using A SINGLE core??? No wonder it's slow

[@PortaTerzo]

@@Kinglysharkis That's old rumor. Think Johan said that they been using multi-cores since EU3.

[@hundvd_7]

@@Kinglysharkis It isn't. It's _obviously_ using multiple cores. To a degree. But the thing is, the design of the core of the game demands a _very_ large percentage of the calculations to be synchronous. Which means it _cannot_ run parallel. Even just within one country, every single province's every single stat depends on every single other province. You cannot calculate the value of like Paris and London at the _same_ time, because one of them could influence each other. Maybe one of them just finished a building that raises the amount of taxes in the other, or something. Unless the game is built from the ground-up to decouple _every_ possible interaction like this, the majority of it will have to run in a single thread. This is an unfortunate side-effect of how many features EU4 has, and how many got added in patches and DLC in particular. And because of the type of game this is, CPU optimization is just a way bigger problem than with stuff like GTA. Because for most games, you can make tiny mistakes and correct them after the fact. But in EU4, every day matters, and if something were to change on December 13th, and you are on December 14th already, then your game is forever "broken". So everything has to be correct, on every tick. This will be fixed in EU5. And then it will once again start being a bit broken after a few patches. It is what it is.

[@hotman_pt_]

thats just EU5 pre release

[@juanfelipegonzalezcepeda9741]

Sadly, EU5 will still feature a completely unified Castile, instead of showing the personal union it had with León and the "vassal kingdoms" of Toledo, Murcia and the others in Andalusia.

If not for EU4 using an engine that remembers fall of the stalingrad and used multithreding like civilised companies did back in the days it was relased there would be no problem with performance even with 10x the number of provinces, 1 CPU core is screaming and on fire while 31 others are colder than finnish summer.

[@Chewbert]

You say that but it was 100% the industry standard 11 years ago when the game was released.

[@xzardas541]

@@Chewbert I was also 100% ready to be included into game engine 11 years ago. If paradox gonna cut thier game to little pieces and sell it over 11 years at a total price of a bloody car they may at least put this much of effort into making it run well for those 11 years.

[@lordkilljoy9652]

Voltare's nightmare is too much of an over correction? MEIOU is pretty nasty too!

[@maxpont8989]

To be fair MEIOU only bloats the HRE and leaves the rest of the world with about as many tags as EU4... The abysmal performance of the mod is better exemplified by the game freezing 1-2 minutes every 1st of January for the economy calculations

[@calypso7709]

8:00 uluğ means great and ulus means nation in turkic languages so its basically ‘great nation’

[@IoanCenturion]

1:26 Apostolic is the Armenian Apostolic Church, which is distinct from Coptic (which is primarily an Egyptian thing). EU4 lumps them together along with Ethiopian Orthodoxy. EDIT: And twenty seconds later you mention it lol

[@AlpKagan.]

Ulus of ulug means ulug people. However, you can call it equivalent of either "nation" or "nationality" based on the use. It has nothing with horde.
