( Basically every asian country japan attacked) the only time they didnt do either of those is when they did a cheap sneak attack on the usa and got their asses kicked as soon as they picked a fight with someone their own size.

7:14 Thats the most annoying thing for me about this game, fog of war being disabled for the AI. Sure, AI doesnt have brain and is in a big disadvantage. But thats the wrong way to make it more "competent". The only thing this leads to is that wars just become silly ring around the rosie siege races against the AI which smells your armies from far away and runs to where its save. If you turn around to attack your target, it suddenly appears again. Thats bad game design and one of the few reasons why i take my breaks from EU4. Its not making the game more dificult and engaging, its just making tiresome. As Dev you should avoid such experiences for your customers.

It gets more annoying when your enemy army is hiding in some terra incognita in siberia and only comes out to siege some of your land, then retreat back to the terra incognita when any sizeable army gets close to them, just to stop you from fully annex them quickly.

My Four Time Great Grandfather fought in Napoleon's Grande Armee. He was 20 when he survived the Russian Invasion and he also fought at the battles of Leipzig and Waterloo. He was a Hussar and he was captured by the Prussians so I think we was a part of Grouchy's 30,000 sent to pursue them. He spent six months in a POW camp in Danzig. He was an ethnic German from Alsace Lorraine so I bet he was a translator between his French speaking comrades and the German speaking Prussians.

Yes, Napoleon was 5'2 French ft/inches, but the Brits saw this as being very short and made a meme of it, though converted to British feet & inches he would be 5'7, a way more common height

[@sargeras7518]

I think that lot of memes of Nap being short comes from british propaganda, they gave him really hard time 😂 and it really did not help him that he was mostly seen with escorts from the Old guard, and those were hand picket soldiers and surely there was a minimum height standard for the Guard members who unfortunately for their bosses reputation were probably all higher than the emperor

I suffered a heart attack when you deleted the fleet. In my last runs I kinda developed a taste for mobility and sea domination style, when I could use my 2 or 3 transport fleets to deploy my armies whereever I need in speedily manner. Helped me immensly agains multiple enemies on multiple fronts: i could do hit and run operations around my country almost unopposed. Like, if you play as a Byzantium and got yourself coalitioned from all the sides, would need 100-200 thousand men on all the frontiers. With a fleet you can swing them where you need it in a few weeks of a month, you don't have to wait monts for you army to came from Paris to Egypt or Balkans by land, it takes like 40 days by travel by the sea. You hit and run against seiging armies, smaller detachments on the move, arrive into advantageous provinces a day before your enemy to gain a favourable defence positions. Running away and saving beaten armies also way more handy if you can achieve a naval superiority. I know, french naval superiority in 1790-1815 was less real than the Santa Claus, but Antverpan could have been a nice bait to lure enemies armies for you to stockwipe them. Anyway, thanks for the video, waiting for the next disaster) Strange though, it's Loui the XVIII on the throne, not the Napoleon

Navy is crucial... but not in this scenario when your enemie not only have hundreads of ships, but also far better quality.

the only sort of "issue" there are is that in the terrain mapmode (useful in wars), it shows rivers as the black and white border bans instead of the blue holographic line of the default for rivers, it's not that bad, since usually there is no reason to be in the terrain type map mode except wars, and what's important is that you know where the rivers are, so you don't cross them by accident (or intentionally cross them while going to defend a friendly fort) for the extra -1 to river crossing

also it puts a yellow warning sign on the launcher because they are not quite up to date, but they still work perfectly fine on the latest and don't cause any issue with achievements

anyways hope you enjoy, try them out and see if you like the new look! (try especially to zoom in on coastline without the fog of war, it looks just amazing, you get water reflection of units like soldiers and boats if you have that enabled in the graphical settings of the default game)

[@anonymous-rb2sr]

after making this post I opened the game and checked my settings and yes, I have all the graphical settings turned to "yes" on the right (except the compact battle), so that might be something you need to get the best results, again even with every graphical setting on the right part of the graphics window enable I have no performance issue, despite using a very bad computer

you could try (with the extendet timeline mod) saving Russia in World War 1 from Germany, Austria-Hungary and most importantly Lenin

I think Napoleon was 5 feet 2 inches. Of course those were pre-Revolutionary French feet & inches. In English feet & inches, it would have converted to 5 feet 7 inches (or 168cm as Zlewikk said.)

Did he ever activate the other military policies? Also, no Poland end game goal :(

[@DunkleRoute]

Unfortunately Napoleon is non-existant in EU4 past his 1814 abdication
