I've lost probably 20 battles where I outnumber the French 2 to 1 and my general has one or two more shock pips, but they solidly win the battle without even taking 50% casualties. What the gently caress? Post pictures of the battle screen.

Furthest I got was in EU4 with Japan, when I wanted the Japanese to be the settlers of the new world. I took over most of the west coast and Mexico and could probably just keep playing but I got bored

All I do is fight the occasional bush war against Portugal or France's colonial nations because they are both weak as gently caress and Spain has something crazy like 380 base tax so I stay the gently caress away from them with my 50-year-behind troops.

The new world expansion was cool and I had a fun North American Native game going for a long time, warring with tribes and such. Then the first contact with the english happened and they just declared war and wiped me out in like 3 years lol

Reforming anything besides Tengri and Norse is pretty much a worthless quest. I love how last-second and half-baked Zunism is, though. West African is still my favorite for being totally, completely useless in every way, even if you reform it. What's the point?

well the game is called "crusader kings" not "ungabunga witchdoctors"  e: it's still hard for me to accept that they remove the one single unique mechanic the zunists have when you take them into not worthless and pathetic territory oh well i hope that the reformed norse curia thing that dumbfuck dev in the games thread is working on is added soon!

I too hope the Norse Flykir goes from being a fun and cool reward for uniting the Norse religion and instead becomes a worthless peace of poo poo that nobody will ever care about again.

I forgot how amazing HRE coalitions are when it's none of the big hitters and it's a million tiny lovely countries, none with a force limit higher than like 6. Sure, my four-province Hamburg was no match, but Poland and Austria both jumped in, so I annex half the coalition and immediately started a new one.
