its really annoying because the aztecs could be real fun to play as an actual nation in north america but its dogpiss thanks to their tech group's insanely limited vision and how boring they are for the first 100 loving years

It was in one of the streams. Probably more about it in this week or next week's dev diary (expansion is out the 30th I think?)

i tried an iroqouis game just to see if they made it less loving homo with conquest of paradise

its actually p sweet, there's stuff to do and north americans can do more besides sit there and slowly upgrade tech after conquering their 2 or 3 neighbors

meso/south america did not get touched at all and is still AWFUL. they didnt even port the unique ideas they get from ck2 converter into vanilla wtf. i thought all new world nations sucked but turns out that just inca/aztec, north america is decently fun to play now. maybe it will suck poo poo balls once england and france show up though.

If I learned anything from my pueblo game I would suggest making a navy that can maybe destroy those guy's boats if you can because it seems like chances are they'll have at least decent armies and decent navies and you'll maybe have one or the other and navies are kinda easier to deal with.

I survived Great Britain raping my rear end as Cherokee by pure luck. They took some of my poo poo when I first met them, but France kicked their rear end in a war I wasn't even involved in and they returned my cores.

France deliberately just sat on a province they didn't even want to max out my war exhaustion, so I hate them, both in game and in real life.

After I defeated Sparta, I stomped the rest of Peloponnese easily and I've gotten most of the Athenian Empire's islands at this point.

Once I let my supplies recover a bit I'll launch my campaign against Crete and then I can finish off the Balkans and take on Persia. Then I'll finish the campaign and have cured my autism.

It's so sick when you can get France to be your friend. Be careful though cause when you take Indian stuff... they'll eventually get the Indian coast mission and hate you until they cancel it

Japan game is going well, learning as I go. Took Johore and sent lots of diplomats to suck off the British in hopes that they let me keep it. I'm 90% of the way to westernized but not there yet. My transports morale/health keeps dropping like a rock even when my ships are not at sea. Am I missing something about supplying ships or is this just part of being an unciv?

The world market is dumb and works by prioritizing people with the highest prestige. Check your navy because you're probably too lowly ranked to get something you need.

Anyway if you don't know... Invest in mil reforms that gives you research points for conquering dudes and then beat up uncivs. Probably Korea.

Venetian Sea is hard...I have all the provinces I need, but not enough Trade power to get much further over 80%. I think I need to fill out expansion, naval, maritime and quantity and poo poo out an enormous amount of ships. Sigh. I wish I thought of this before I sold all my provinces.

if you reconquer enough as the byzantines you can reform the roman empire in the medieval period

and eventually port that to eu4

I don't know why the Games thread is so upset about retinue nerfs because that period before you snowball with retinues is probably the only dynamic part of the game where you can actually lose a fight. I'd prefer the AI just stop being retarded as poo poo with them, as well as a numbers nerf, though.

please tell me i'm not the only person who thinks its so loving retarded that there are so many events in euiv where its like 'lose 1 stability' or 'lose some monarch points'. or the ones where its like 'lose a bunch of stability and money and tax and trade power, or get rebels'. wtf. who thought that was fun? i feel like i just get poo poo on by the rng constantly when i'm not doing a unique mission or something. its especially bad before you get some idea sets unlocked.

I think I overprepared for my invasion of Crete. I built a huge navy and brought all of my troops from conquering Peloponnese

Stormy season hit about the time I took their first city so I had my fleet docked there the whole time... and then by the end of stormy season I had taken the whole island. Oops.
