However, here is my experience playing Europa Universalis 4: I play the tutorial, and am still confused as hell, then stop playing, and eventually uninstall. This has happened twice now over many years. Yeah linked in the op https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1DesDCb2WU arumba is good. dunno if this particular series with filthyrobot is good but maybe its worth a watch. just watch him do a campaign you'll figure out most of it

Fister Roboto posted:I watched about 10 minutes of this and it's really bad. He spends a lot of time just reading things on the screen without explaining a drat thing. Ew yeah. I never watched that one it was just in the op. I learned by watching any of his actual gameplay videos. Like he generally explains himself while he's playing. The game is going to take like 10 hours to get to the point where you mostly understand what you're seeing though.

^^^yeah brabant can easily get someoene like france to support their independence, take a bunch of burgundian land, but STAY A VASSAL, then do it again but break free next time at least, i think it should still work that way  finally got a start where i could take mantua before they allied someone big or joined a trade league now the republic will cover italy, and take rome whenever protestant reformation starts

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Fixed this for you. The years of separatism and unrest modifiers also make it so new conquests are painless. If I recall correctly, the -10 years of separatism is effectively -5 unrest on newly conquered provinces. Add the -2 unrest modifier and unrest becomes ridiculously easy to manage. The tolerance and unity even makes conquering wrong-religion provinces painless. The cherry on top is the improve relations bonus that melts away AE. It's a completely broken idea group. Same but offensive. Having 15 day siege ticks is broke, you just ignore armies and siege their whole country while they're stuck on your forts

Okay, so I'm trying to finish a couple of achievements before emperor. I wanted to do Gold Rush, Mare Nostrum, and Re-Reconquista. I tried doing gold rush a few times as great horde (conquering ryazan at start and then warring muscovy when they attack novgorod) but i just kept getting decimated. I think by waiting so long they would get a mil tech advantage on me? Went for Re-Reconquista and finished it first try, apparently starting off by full annexing tlemcen gives you a good starting base of power. Right now I'm trying gold rush as kazan and everything is going so loving well. I have all the provinces I need from great horde, nogai, and all but one from muscovy. I still have 40 years and most of the wars have been effortless. Only thing I can think of that's different is I just attacked muscovy in 1444

Groke posted:Did it as Kazan myself. Kazan is arguably a lot easier than most horde starts because you start with a frickin' gold mine so your economy is not as cursed. I went to war with them in 1444 and stackwiped so many armies they ended up with 23k troops, all mercs. My ruler rolled as a 2/4/3 general lol
