If you can afford to build a canal you don't even need the tollbooth money, though.

I'm still of the opinion that building the Panama canal in the EUIV time period is slightly less historically plausible then the Norse Mega-Basileus invading the Dominion of the Zunbil Cyberemperor but...

My entire strategic plan in EU4 is usually towards building a nation that can succeed in Vicky-2. And my goal in Vicky-2 is to build a nation that will do well in HoI. And my goal in HoI is to emerge as a fair arbiter of post-colonial internationalism. You may feel the need to call me a hero, but I am just a simple man my friends

I wish it were easier to keep track of when poo poo got to a destination though. Oh man, like if armies and fleets had destinations and ETAs on the right hand infobar

No great wars, no crisis's and no colonial wars. Just peace.

Ive never played Vicky, but you can play a CK2 game from the earlier start and will surely have an empire with at least half of the map by the end date, which you can export to EU4. Then it will be trivially easy to conquer the rest of the world in EU4 and by the time you get to the V2 time your empire will be 100% of the world. You cant lose with that., I guess.

Huh well agitate for liberty seems considerably shitter than I had hoped. Study technology might well make the group worthwhile on its own though, at least for non-western teams. I hope your spies can't get kicked out from doing it like they can with most espionage actions though, just getting a few months worth of monarch points at a time before having to wait for a huge cool down sounds pretty annoying.

Espionage seems better but kinda unfocused to me. Also next expansion can we get a better display of the terms of a peace deal on the event? I mean is kinda annoying to read

Yeah that's a blob, needs breaking up into paragraphs. Also province changes (and puppet status) is the most important thing about that peace so maybe Dauphine should be in BOLDED RED or something

Bullets or line breaks would be a very good addition though.

I wonder how provinces having multiple fort zones of control will work. If a province is in the ZoC of three different forts, does that mean an army in that province can move to any of those three forts? Or do they get stuck there because moving to any of the fort provinces would violate the ZoC of the other two forts? Can forts exert ZoC on another fort province if they are directly adjacent to each other, so even after capturing one fort you still have to capture the one beside it in order to move any farther inland?

I hope it means some flexibility when sieging -- you shouldn't be able to move your stacks arbitrarily but I always find that recombining my siege stacks requires some arbitrary weird move around hostile and neutral territory, if you can get them back together at all before the enemy doomstack arrives!! Not that I am bitter.

Probably because of stoplight colors for stop/go. If you aren't colorblind it's super duper unmistakingly different, and red is a danger/warning color because of blood.  Games adding colorblind modes is great and cool and more games should have them, but green/red is good and iconic and drilled into nearly everyone for reasons way beyond gaming. EDIT:

Well that took a lot less than I thought it would. My leaders dropped dead mid-integration of Norway and I just inherited the whole shebang. Sadly I can't form Scandinavia without leaving the HRE, so I guess everyone's going to have to get used to being Danish. I'm sure Jonah and Podcat will punch through some drywall at that idea

OTOH you don't actually gain anything from forming Scandinavia so your mileage may vary. If you expand enough into Germany/Poland you will almost certainly lose Norwegian and maybe even Swedish as accepted cultures, also the decision to form a nation gives you a boost to autonomy reduction for years. The easiest way to form Kingdom/Empires while staying in the HRE without starting as an Elector is just to become Emperor, form the Nation, and then re-add your capital to the Empire. I'm pretty sure you lose Imperial Authority when all those provinces leave the empire so you may want to wait until after you pass a reform.

I swear everytime I start an ironman game the RNG screws me over. I tried a france start, allied castile and Austria, grab some provinces from provence, and one from england. Meanwhile aragon smacks the gently caress out of castile, so much that they won't join me against burgundy, and Austria sends over a 36k doomstack that gets obliterated by loving flanders, then mega aragon joins on burgundy side. gently caress europe, I 'm restarting as the Ottomans and burning it all down.

Forming Scandinavia is always bad, since all the cool events are based on tag. I don't know how bad that is as Denmark, but as Sweden you lose out on a bunch of great events and some really neat permanent modifiers.
