I was just reading someone on the eu4 reddit talking about how funny it was when they converted to protestantism, received the league leadership and immediately kicked off the league war before New Emperor Brabant had any time to prepare, and I doubt they were playing on an old version, so not right now it doesn't.

Since there is a sale going on now, which of the newer expansions are worth picking up? I have: Art of War El Dorado Wealth of Nations Res Publica Conquest of Paradise Of the rest of the expansions, which ones add the most overall to the game experience?

Several dozen people are going to tell you to get Common Sense and Rights of Man, and you absolutely should.

Rights of Man adds the most overall to the experience, but Common Sense has one feature (development) that's extremely important when you're not playing in Europe.

Cossacks is good, comes in right behind Rights of Man, Art of War, and Common Sense in the must-buy category. Adds in Estates and the ability to set your own diplomatic interests. Mare Nostrum adds quality of life features for the naval aspect of the game, so it might be worth picking up.

Is there a way to revive estates? Somehow I got rid of the noble estate in a mega-Sweden run, and I have no idea how. Unless Constitutional Monarchy eliminates them? My only options for managing estates are the Burghers and Clerics, and they're the only ones listed on the macro builder's estate tab, too.

Arcturas posted:Unless Constitutional Monarchy eliminates them? Pretty sure it does. England's unique government (which is basically just constitutional monarchy) definitely does, so I imagine it's the same for that. In general though you might find an estate disappears if you give it 0 influence, so adding provinces will revive them.

I am pretty sure that the estate will come back when the modifiers that brought its influence below 1% expire. I'd wait about 10-20 years and it should pop back. Stacking negative modifiers for influence for minor estates like Dhimmi can be useful in fringe cases if I am remembering right. I haven't played in a patch though. Edit: It would help to read the post above me.

Yeah, constitutional monarchies don't have a nobility estate, which is one of the many reasons why the suck a lot.

SSJ_naruto_2003 posted:is there any talk of EU5 anytime in the medium term? At Paradox Con Johan talked, somewhat at length, about EU5 vs continuing expansions for EU4. What I took from what he had to say was that EU5 would need to have a massive or significant change to the recipe for it to be made. It did not sound like consolidation of DLC and tidying up things and placing a fresh face on it were to be enough. It also sounds like they did not see that coming any time soon. Reading between the lines I would imagine that EU5 is 3 years out. (Just my guess) . I would also hazard a guess that EU5 would revamp either combat, the map, or some other major feature. Perhaps we will get a globe.

You can buy them with paradox ducats (earned in-game by completing achievements) but can be bought with real money if you just want to get a globe now!

CK2 and EU4 are both very well entrenched in the "infinite DLC" business model that PDox has adopted for it's grand strategy titles.

EU4 was released more than four years ago, in summer of 2013. It's absolutely a good game but many of us who have been playing since launch are getting tired of the DLC model. It's time for EU5 or at least a summary expansion + sale which ties together all the previous DLCs.

Apologies if this has already been asked, but what are the must have DLCs for this game? I bought this in a bundle a year or two ago which included a few DLCs, but haven't played it and there seem to be a bunch more now. I've played some CK2 and a bunch of Stellaris so I have a little experience with Paradox games if that matters. I have a Fylkirate lategame in CK2 I'd like to eventually upgrade to EU4.

I think it's time for a new thread. The OP hasn't been updated in over two years and it's about five expansions out of date. Also the title is dubious advice.

So you're saying someone has to do what Paradox wont, make a single item that ties all the DLC together? It is time for EU5, of course they wont make it as long as people buy mediocre EU4 DLCs. If they need a feature to sell EU5, make it random world generation and non-static trade flow. fake edit: don't remember ever being so unenthusiastic about an EU4 dlc release. It even coincides with my week off but I doubt I'll play at all.

How many large releasable states with unique NIs are there on map that don't exist in 1444? The first one that comes to mind for me is Punjab and I think some of the states around the Deccan might have unique ideas as well. There's also all of the Ruthenian states in Lithuania and Poland.

Tbh the reason I was asking about eu5 was a similar revamping and consolidation that happens in all their new versions. I was trying to get back into eu4 after around a year and realized I didn't enjoy the massive number of systems present anymore. I much preferred the game right after the... Art of war? Compared to what we have now.

Pellisworth posted:EU4 was released more than four years ago, in summer of 2013. As much as I think the DLC model (which borders on software-as-a-service) is not a bad thing, I think it's going to bite Paradox in the rear end real hard when it comes time to make the next sequels for the current DLC-focused games (CK2, EU4, HOI4). Granted that time is probably several years down the road, but at some point the Clausewitz engine will need a replacement, and Paradox will be forced to somehow pare back all of these features into a single $39 title, which will be impossible to do. Like Johan said, the only real way forward with sequels to those titles is if there is a complete sea change in their design philosophies, which... kinda can't happen very easily in the strategy market. I mean, look at Civ 5 -> Civ 6 as a good example, with tons of fans of the series saying that they recommend sticking with the previous version, even to this day. And Civ 5 only got 2 expansions, where CK2 has had 14 and EU4 has 12.

Compared to what we have now. I do still think that the game is better now (with the exception of the parts of the map which fall into the Ming Exclusion Zone) due to AI and other general gameplay improvements, but the actual DLC content has been getting less interesting as the new systems are becoming more and more 'bolted on' feeling. Like, development was a total rethink of base tax, and estates were a completely new concept in how you manage your provinces (though in actual gameplay they end up not being terribly exciting), wheras ages are literally just another "build up currency and exchange it for bonuses" system and edicts are essentially slightly tweaked province decisions from EU3.
