34:50 Why will I be overextended to 500% as the Mughals? o_O

Eu4 used to be difficult back in the day, before all these new snowball mechanics paradox introduced

Shame they abandoned Imperator. Actually could've been a great game with some actual expansions.

Anyone remeber the card game Dominion? I always thougt it did things quite cleverly. There were cards worth victory points, but since they served no other purpose, going for the win right away nerfed your deck. You would keep drawing fewer and fewer of the already weak starting cards and all other players would leave you behind. However spend too much time optimizing your deck and someone else suddenly declares victory while you are still doing build up. So one would have to balance build up and winning while keeping an eye on the opposition. There was no set game length and every game played differently. I don't know how one would translate this into 4X computer games, but if one could it might solve some issues. Though tedious end game or no, sometimes I actually want to meditatively create an enormous blob of an empire and just tick all the boxes in the tech tree, so maybe it isn't always the answer.

Why do people still do all of this instead of fort assaults with mercs for consistent pre month tick sieges? Like seriously

Eu5 better have empire collapse mechanics 😤

Curonian here. ACTUALLY arctic and desert is absolutely fine, after all the largest desert on the planet is the whole continent of Antarctica. There is no rainfall there. Ergo, desert. Just a cold one.

Classic parardox naming 😂

Doesn't need an almost 30 min video. Its simply that devs didn't think anyone would be silly enough to get there.

Diet options tier list when?

Once you become a Revolutionary Empire, you lose your government reforms that give you more policies

Cheer~~conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people).😊

I have found with both CK3 and Stellaris that mid to late game chugs so badly that I can't be bothered to play anymore.

Playing a game as an italian state in EU4 Unite Italy Colonize most of the New World My enemies will be my enemies forever My allies will be my allies forever (im forced to keep them or im getting invaded in all flanks) My colonies can't revolt There is no more land to colonize, everything is owned by either a Great Power or a Great Power's colony/lesser ally Have so much money don't know what even do with it Can't complete focus tree because it would requiere me to start wars that I couldn't win, the IA will not start wars by their own Dead End Like 50 hours spent, the year is barely 1700 There is still more than a century for the game to end and I have NOTHING to do or the things I can do will result in me dying because of the English or the Austrians Sad that I spent years getting an alliance with the ottomans for them to send their whole army to worthless places instead of the real front.

I watched the whole thing from start to finish. It was truly captivating, even though it really shouldn't have been 😂

aura +10000

Stellaris is my favorite Paradox game because of it's setting and no fixation on the map of the real world. However, that is one TOTALLY game-killing aspect which has never been addressed by paradox to this day: there is no war automation. Because of this waging a war in the late game becomes a torture. You need to SHIFT+CLICK a zillion of systems to make sure your army invades every single system and you need to deal swarms of smaller AI fleets which constantly steal your systems. Automated warfare works just great in Imperator Rome, EU4 (a bit worse than Rome imao) and in HOI (well the AI at least closes all the gaps along the frontline, once the frontline vanishes it is a different story :P). So why not implement this feature for once?

I think the Anbennar mod kinda solves lategame in eu4. Depending on the nation, you have so many missions and flavour that you usually don't run out of content until the very late game. There are also enough strong nations around that they can kind of contest the player.

I'll be honest, if i had 100% missionary strength, I'd probably just convert the other provinces that didn't have recent comversion

Paradox has the same problem as Behavior: basically a monopoly so you can get away with shoveling out half-baked products as their is no real alternative that isnt a different genre like Civ or Total War

Three Kingdoms Total War come the closest I've ever seen to making endgame in a grand strategy game actually fun and interesting. And then CA abandoned it. =/

Lemon you should do a scornful insult tier list!!

Edict of Absolutism is actually pretty solid if you're playing as the emperor of China

vic3 is so so boring

Is there anything this man can't rank

In 1337 the tughlaq dynasty in India is by far the strongest entity on the map, very bizarre to say they're not the strongest at that point.

Bro, the projects in Arabian Gulf are going from success to success and UAE and Dubai and Jubail industrial city are just very few examples. So those projects actually work when there is legitimate intention and dedication, which is what exists in Arab Gulf countries.

Hey guys I have a question can you assign a key to the armies button manage autonomous sieging option?

"The Ottomans are finally going to be purged" My man (confectionery) saying it with the unbridled joy of an XVI century European ruler.

Games are too rigid and mechanical. Late game just highlighs it.

Do several national idea tier list? Split them by continents, then after that, have a final one where you take in all the As and Ss from all continents then pit them against themselves!

Takes a CK3 background, doesn’t talk about CK3 (only 2) lol

Did he forget stability ?

My polish ass always gets a lil confidence boost when someone mentions the hussars xD

Stellaris could been actually very good among PDX games just ignore the 200 dillars DLCs, although Vanilla version of it... at this point isn't the way to play game but rather stacking major mods that expands the game, the problem is PDX doesn't give a shit about Optimization of both midgame to endgame i mean, it wasn't intended to handle a lot of textures and processing pop and fleet power (Yes, the game absolutely lags selecting fleets with above 10M power lately) and the modders are only one will sort of "fix it" (Spoiler alert: It doesn't.)

I think it's safe to say Great Britain won the previous millenium.

Never played CK2, but in CK3 although I love the game, when that end date of 1453 is looming it becomes hard to care too much, the primary reason being that the game is all about making long term decisions for your dynasty, so once you reach the point where long term decisions are irrelevant it becomes hard to continue, I normally either abandon the playthrough or play on the fastest speed to get it over with.

Also EU4 runs much slower late game.

The Problem with late game is it forces the end game

I feel this in Civ too, the biggest issue imo is a combination of 1) you've more or less already won and everything else is just a formality and 2) the game gets so tedious with micromanagement that it's just exhausting to keep going.

As a software engineer I think the reason most of these features are not realized not only because of unwillingness to make them but also because of the enormous bloat it will cause to the save file and the system itself. Most of the features mentioned will require some sort of logging to each province in multiple ways. So how many killed on each province, how much the province produced and so on. When each event has happened and in which country, so it can be later viewed in the timeline. And it just multiplies and multiples. Comparing the pressure it will cause to the significance of these features, I think it is not reasonable to have them. Although I do agree, they would be very cool to have. Maybe just a mod would be a better idea.

There is an error in the video, the russian modifier goes out if you annex the province, not like the rome one..

The AI is the big issue. In almost every Paradox game, it's just too aggressive, or not aggressive enough, rarely goes after the player, and typically spams garbage to no end, especially in HoI4. In EUIV, the AI has far too large of a tendency to blob, and then promptly sit there and do nothing, then proceed to pose almost zero threat in an actual war. It's incompetent and exclusively mappaints. In CKII and III I actually enjoy playing them. Because the AI at least has the illusion of being competent. It feels genuinely fun. The two games that I think have nailed late-game are Vicky 2 and 3. While it's easy to snowball in both eventually, Vicky has a tendency to still keep everyone on a near-equal playing field. Yeah, you can fuck over everyone around you and become a nation capable of taking on the next two powers at the same time, but you're going to to turn most of the world against you, and if you pick the wrong fight, you will get crushed. In Vicky 3, the economic aspect of turning the world against you really comes into effect. Your economy will stagnate really bad if you can't export goods due to other markets embargoing you, and if you can't secure what you need in your own borders, you have to stop being a pariah and reconcile otherwise you will wind up suffering. Revolutions also pose a legitimate threat. If you don't listen to the people, the people will force what they want on you, and unless you're fairly stable and have a large military, your late-game population is going to crush you.

I like learning history through paradox games though, you can suppliment it with reading

I always give myself a parliament In exchange of nothing you get a bonus to every province with a seat and it gives you stuff like extra colonists when you pass acts. Like, not only is it great RP wise but it is also amazing in general. Edit: i have to add that in my last game I got rid of the nobility, the clergy and picked up something that made the burgers dont raise up when i take land from them so I was able to have 100% crownland

persia is a rich node but it has the big problem of being a inland node, so a bunch of small nations with spare merchants shove them in your trade node and you lose 20-40% of your trade power bc of the dumb mechanic of caravan power makes it a tier imo

Just realised - I don't think you touched on the trade winds affecting relocation of rebels across islands. They prefer to teleport against trade winds. Very normal mechanic for reasonable game EU4

I looked into ways to get parliament as a republic on the wiki. I found out that Venice has a mission that gives access to a reform that improves stuff slightly for trade and gives you access to parliament (no estates are removed from taking it according to the wiki. It also says it doesn't require the Venice government reform or even staying as Venice, all it says is you need to complete the mission to unlock it). The problem however is that you can't reform into Venice and there are not enough reasons to chose Venice if you want to become Italy, however it at least can be said that you could still become two sicilies and Sardinia-piedmont before you become Italy (the question remains however if the reform is worth it do to the vagueness of the missions)

Ruler History is used to be there in EU3
