My current England game is pretty fun regarding Scandinavia. Sweden is big, bossy and strong, and Denmark has been eaten by Holstein.

England is fairly good too. It’s pretty challenging at the start with France slurping up your continental holdings, and the war of the roses can be a bitch. But you learn some important things in the process, like more often than not, a lost war isn’t a game breaker for you. Also, the channel makes it super hard for AI to bring the fight to you, and the English navy owns the French anyway. Coupled with a reasonably good position to start the colonization of the new world, and you have a good, safe country to use to learn the ropes.

Don’t disband armies! They work as a deterrent; if the ai sees your land without any armies defending it, they WILL attack. What you CAN do, though I rarely do, is lower the upkeep costs at the economy tab. Also check on your military tab and learn all that’s there. Especially good care should be taken to fully understand the force limit feature. Building an army bigger than the force limit allows (which CAN be done but generally shouldn’t) will make the milItaly expenses go through the roof.

I have friends in the Swedish gaming industry and once I found myself at a AW with a bunch of devs from a bunch of different studios, including Paradox. I met some important guy from there (dunno who) and told him I loved the concept of the historical games but I could never learn to play them due to bad tutorials. He said they were working on it. Sometime later EU4 was released and it was the first paradox game I learned to play. Didn’t even take long!

So next immersion pack seems to be about England? Suits me, it’s the great power I play the most.

You are also one of the better nations to forms colonial empire with, which can be enforced by the strongest navy in Europe. For some reason I feel compelled to start colonizing the new world as a European power, which leads to me barely ever touching countries east of France.

For 10 euro I feel it's more than enough in here.

England is my go to nation when I want to chill out and build a power house economy without any realistic dangers. I.e when I’m lazy.

In one of my recent England games, the Ivory Coast is controller by Gelre.

Fister Roboto posted:Actually can we just have the ability to set a timer on the game so that it pauses on a specific date? That would be extremely useful. This is actually a drat good suggestion.

I really can't get around doing an effort playing as a HRE nation. That "Emperor gonna stand up for his babies" clause is such BS. I mean yeah obviously, but ugh.
