    Re: Europa Universalis IV

    The Ottomans happened to my Muscovy game shortly after I formed Russia. I got into it with the Golden Horde, who I admitedly should have swooped in on much earlier. I lost a "turning point" battle and that was that. It was very sad watching the Ukraine, Denmark, and the Ottomans come in and have a field day with all the hard work I put in. One interesting thing that happened is Finland (who I had forced Novgorod to form and made my vassal, was given a province somewhere in the middle of Russia and is now their capital. The war is over and I have a mess on my hands. Maybe someday I'll come back to this as a challenge to see if I can regain what I lost. I don't think I have the skill to do that yet though. Poland took over Lithuania in my game, and got completely destroyed by rebel forces. That fractured into many countries that are constantly bickering.

    Last night, I messed around with a Scottish save. I managed to gain a province from England while they were busy early. I also am in an alliance with France and Denmark. The first time the English came knocking, they destoryed my army, but then I got to watch with satifaction as France showed up and kicked the ever-loving crap out of them. Then we both went after Ireland. I got the northern 3 provences, and they got the 2 southern. Next France called me into a war they were having with Saxony, who the English were allied with. Round 2! This time, I luckily got an event that gave me a 12-unit army in the Highlands to start the war. So I decided to let the English start sieging my lands on Ireland, combined my army into one stack and completely destroyed the bulk of their army on the main island. Before I could ransack a few provinces and take care of the smaller army peace was declared. Unfortunately, being over my unit limit for the duration of the war put me into massive debt. I also didn't go the colonization route with my ideas, so I'm stuck either trying to chip away at England's northern provences or hoping I get into a war with them when France or Denmark aren't busy and we work together to drive them off the map.

      Has anyone noticed that the AI is able to fabricate claims on provinces that it doesn't border? It's happening to me a lot in my current Ottomans ironman attempt.

        Yep, I'm one of the native tribes in America and I managed to get the colonization tree started to get a colonist and expand and I noticed a few european countries starting to crop up with fabrication claims despite not having colonized yet?

          It's strange. I mean it doesn't really give them any advantage in my save because they'll never get by my army to get there. But if you're a smaller nation, the cheaper war score to get them from you would be BS. Especially if its one of your better producing provinces.

            They haven't declared yet, but I've seen fabrications pop up fairly consistently the past few years. Colonization is kind of boring especially when it comes to America, since the one colonist I have is expanding out most of our borders uncontested for the time being. I might start a new save again and go back towards Europe.

              started a new game as Brandenburg in hope to for Prussia and/or Germany. I got the land and objectives needed to form Prussia, but I have to have a ruler with 4 diplo skill and that seems impossible with the bloodline in power currently. almost all have been either 0 or 1 for diplo skill.

                  I seem to have this weird bug which makes every country in the world marked as special interest. So I get messages about every country, any one else have this since 1.2? It's very annoying.

                    So this game has a thread here after all, must have looked over it. This where I'm at in my game:


                    Wrapped up my latest session by forming Russia, not sure what I'm gonna do now. It's either taking on Sibir or wage another war against Crimea (I believe they're in a war already so that should be manageable).
                    That's not an insult, THAT is just a fact of life.

                      For anyone interested in the paradox games, Victoria 2 is 75% off this week on steam. Not sure if that includes the expansions or just the base game though.

                        At some point I'll probably pick this up, but since I already have EU3 (CK2 and Vicky 2), which was pretty awesome, I don't know why I need EU4. Can anyone tell me what the main changes are between versions?

                            So many other games came out that pushed this one to my backburner, but I feel like this is one I'll be coming back to for years for a change of pace. I had my eye on that mod and will definitely be trying it out at some point.

                                thats a good thing with most Paradox developed games, they usually have a good modding community and you can go back a few years later even, find a big mod and it's like playing a whole new game.

                                It was only a few months before EUIV came out that I was playing the MEIOU mod in EUIII again.

                                haven't dove in the new mod for EUIV yet. just installed it and looked around a bit.
