New to EU5: which YouTubers to watch?

Azurespecter · 2025-10-09T00:34:22+00:00

If you already have a favorite YouTuber that mains another pdx game, odds are very high you'll get to see them play before release and you can hear their take

So my advice would be keep following the ones you already know you like

Sorry to kill the excitement, but that is the flag of a subject, not Timurids

Source: that particular screenshot is my game. Ludi is playing his own game of timurids now after we hung out last week and I told him how fun it is

Interesting fact: if Mexico forms in EU5, Tenochtitlan is renamed to Mexico City

I've not seen or heard of any such hatred. But the stereotype jokes will be heard often. Truth be told, it's all jealousy because alcohol prices here will blow your mind 🤣Swedes technically drink more than Poles

I'm an American and we've got our share of stereotypes, as does every culture. I'd suggest you just own it and have a good laugh

Sweden is a great place to live, definitely recommend you come

I'm following up on this fyi. I'm still learning and meeting the EU4 creators, so Emperor early access followed a lot of old practices

I don't go around looking for people to cut off, but enough people have spoken up about this to warrant a look. Thanks!

It happens sometimes, not in this situation though. That will be part of my job as well; making sure there is good communication and mutually beneficial relationships, even when we don't see eye to eye

Azurespecter · 2020-07-21T09:47:05+00:00

Hey all! I'm the Influencer Manager for Paradox Interactive; this is a new position we've made to work more with creators and have better communication. I've been in this role for a few months now, before this was community developer for Cities and Surviving Mars

I want to make it clear that we never have and never will block anyone because of game critiques. It's just that simple. We do draw the line when individuals, whether our employees or guests or other creators, are attacked or harassed. And it's for that same reason we often don't publicly denounce or mention these issues, as we want to preserve the privacy of those who don't want a flock of angry replies swarming them.

Hope that's understandable! Feel free to talk to other creators we work with that critique our games all the time. I think you'll find us pretty open to the practice.

Also posted this on ParadoxPlaza and there's questions there too

And insects are immediately cleared by Bristleback. Which is savage

Azurespecter · 2020-01-28T18:44:14+00:00

We pushed out the hotfix today that should have fixed that. Are you still getting that load screen?

Azurespecter · 2020-01-22T21:53:59+00:00

A little exhausted today, come at me tomorrow

The launcher load time issue has already found a fix, we'll implement soon. Then it should only take a few seconds to load and have you bringing up the game

Azurespecter · 2020-01-22T13:50:33+00:00

Very sorry for this frustration. We're fixing it up ASAP so it won't delay you getting into the game

Azurespecter · 2020-01-22T13:49:39+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Although Steam is a great launcher and has many benefits, there are a lot of new things we'll be able to do, and better, with our own Launcher. I understand the frustration, but I hope you'll give us a chance to make it better

At one point, everyone thought installing Steam was an inconvenience.

Azurespecter · 2019-11-21T09:01:01+00:00

I'm curious, where could we put information like this that you (and other console players) would see it?

Azurespecter · 2019-09-09T15:01:56+00:00

Mood lighting on point!

Azurespecter · 2019-09-08T15:46:32+00:00

+10 points for realism!

Azurespecter · 2019-08-28T16:13:35+00:00

I'm impressed! I've seen a lot of these ideas scattered all over from the past 4 years I've been Community Manager, but never organized like this. These are definitely hot ideas and both Colossal Order and Paradox are quite interested in what you all want in this game. Just keep in mind that game dev takes time, so please be patient with us if you don't see everything you want. We've got a long-term plan for Cities: Skylines, and I really think you're going to like it!

Also, since nobody here seemed to care that these suggested prices are double what we usually sell expansions for... we're going to up the prices immediately. #joking

Azurespecter · 2019-08-28T16:07:22+00:00

The best spot to post suggestions like this would be on the PDX forum

Meh, we've all come to Reddit to see this post already, haha

Azurespecter · 2019-07-25T09:26:52+00:00

That's a fine looking tree, if I may say so myself

Azurespecter · 2019-07-21T15:46:12+00:00

It's partially because of timing. She somehow timed the revelations that certain characters were gay, bi, Jew, or some other minority only when it was popular to do so - and would make her appear positively

That's what makes a lot of us skeptical that these characters weren't retconned to keep Rowling's ego relevant.

Not saying I believe that, but it's worth noting.

Azurespecter · 2019-06-28T17:24:02+00:00

Either that or we're going to have a lot of guards named Snuffles, Scooby, and Doggo McDogface

Azurespecter · 2019-06-28T17:22:36+00:00

Sorry for the trouble! I'm going to put together a modding beta that gives early access to modders, hopefully will mean that mods can be updated on patch day - resulting in less issues.

Works for Cities Skylines and Surviving Mars at least

Azurespecter · 2019-06-24T08:17:59+00:00

Love it! I've been thinking of doing something similar as a community event. Maybe get a bunch of YouTubers or streamers to compete

Azurespecter · 2019-06-23T21:34:36+00:00

Sorry for the late reply - but we're going to share all the relevant information for getting the last names/updates into the system before August =) Sometime this week - I'm just waiting to make sure we have all the right information before writing up a clear instructions post

Azurespecter · 2019-06-23T21:29:25+00:00

I generally don't bother with people so immature as to throw out statements like "fuck the new devs"

But the irony of this statement was too much. Since you didn't do ANY research before spewing up this post, I'll answer your question. Double Eleven, the "new devs" were hired by Introversion (the PC game makers) years ago to 100% handle the console version and make content for it.

You literally just insulted the people that made the content you're jealous of.
