    Re: Europa Universalis IV

    just to test it out, I converted a game from CKII to EUIV to see what it'll look like. the CKII game was only at the year 1350, so It's not done yet.

    went from this in CKII



    to this in EUIV



    wider shot



    once i do get done with it on CKII, I'll probably have to adjust some things in CKII to make it covert better into EUIV. the religions seem to convert fine though. Slavic, Tengri and Norse were all there.

    some of the other stuff were weird, like the tech groups. it converted Hungary as the Chinese tech group. not really sure how I would go about changing that though. I would assume it could be changed in the exported files. EUIV just reads it like it would a mod.

    the CKII game was at a time where a lot of rebellions were going on, so it messed with the conversion a lot, especially in the HRE.

      Re: Europa Universalis IV

      So I picked Austria as my first game save. As a new player to EU, I figured it'll be a good choice to get my bearings while also providing an interesting story at the same time.

      I'm still pretty early in my CK2 save so I'll chip away at that also and eventually bring that over after I feel like I have a decent grasp of EU.

        Anyone here who preordered from GMG find out how to get the free CK2 game? I just got the two codes that gave the game and the preorder bonuses.

          yeah, there seems to be an issue with non-steam orders and CKII if you already owned CKII on steam.

            Thanks for the link. I sent in a request along with a picture of my email today from GMG showing I owned the game so hopefully I will have a gift convoy of CK2 to give away to a lucky OS member soon.

              EUIV shows up as the #2 in top sellers on steam right now, right behind Pay Day 2 and just ahead of Saints Row IV. Not bad for a Paradox game. community page shows 14,414 in-game right now. a lot more than I ever saw for CKII(though I don't actually check it that much).

                Current players on now is already 3x the peak of CK2, not sure how accurate this is though. http://steamcharts.com/top

                Peak on EU is higher than the peak, that probably only updates every day or something.

                  oh EU, how I have missed you.

                  started up a Poland Ironman game. I think I sat at the starting screen with the game pause for almost an hour going through all the menus and checking out what my plan was going to be.

                  Hoping to form a personal union with Lithuania so I can form The Commonwealth.

                    I've never played a EU game, but this looks awesome. Unfortunately, I think the graphics requirements are too high for my home machine.

                      you could try the demo that is on steam and see if it works on it, well if your computer has a windows OS at least.

                        When I booted the game up for the first time there was a code in the lower right hand corner. Any idea where I input it?

                          I am definitely going to.

                          I'm actually in the market for a new desktop. I am certain that my current setup will not work with this game. The new one I am about to pull the trigger on probably won't unless I would be able to turn off some of the 3d elements that I saw in the gameplay videos.

                          Are there options to turn those kind of things off?

                            you don't need to do anything with it really, unless you want to register the game at Paradox's website.

                              there are option to turn off things. like trees, shadows, bloom effects, ect.

                              what is the computer your looking at? most computers out there now should be able to play EUIV. the mininum for video cards is NVIDIA® GeForce 8800 or ATI Radeon® X1900(basically a Shader Model 3.0 capable card I believe), 512mb video memory required, both are old by now. The recommended is actually the same, except has 1024mb for video memory. It's not a graphic intense game, it would be more strain on CPU, and even the requirements for CPU are not high compared to other games.

                              full requirements.

                              Spoiler


                              Also, for anyone that may care. you can play EUIV without having steam installed. as long as you have it downloaded/activated on steam, you can actually move the install folder somewhere else and play the game. However, since the multiplayer is through Steam, you will not have access to it.

                                Reviews for the game have been good, between 78 and 91 so far I think(PC Gamer gave it a 91).
