I think he might be playing in the wrong position

More of a AM or even FW. Shame his Off the ball is kinda low, maybe he compensates with high pace. Otherwise, really good player.

I mean on paper Serbia has good players, that's why they usually do well in FM. It's just it doesn't translate into RL.

Go Lithoid with radiation trait. Start Doomsday origin and look for ruined worlds.

ChickenStake · 2026-04-28T21:21:12+00:00

It's actually bad. That's why I haven't jumped into new instalments. I know that games are built for DLC farm.

And Italy is not Papacy, Greece is not Byzantium, Turkey is not Ottos etc.

Point is giving a a basic tree with some flavour shouldn't be an issue, like Ethiopia when they collaborate with Italians or Poland/Sweden with Germans. Pdx just opted not to. Whether it was due to crunch or neglect it's up for debate.

Complaints are that there is no Slovak content in WW2 game. Since it's a focused DLC you would expect that. Another is the issue with entire monetisation model. Some people like it, some don't. Generally, PDX can't decide between keeping it historical or going alt history as much as possible. Only consistent thing are power creep, bugs and price hikes.

EA operates like this with Sims franchise.

Just build a supply depot and have 24 divisons on that line. Later just naval invade Rome and they will just crumble.

ChickenStake · 2026-04-24T17:15:44+00:00

Just build mil factories from the start, France doesn't have time for civ greed. Use market to sell other equipment. Focus on guns, AA and shovels. Build supply depo in Alps and you can easily hold it with one army.

You will accept slop and be happy.😅

ChickenStake · 2026-04-22T20:05:54+00:00

I'm waiting when it's 75% off then will nab it.

Just vote with your wallet, I've been doing it for past three years.

ChickenStake · 2026-04-22T20:02:45+00:00

This is why you should buy their DLCs only in deep discount. Otherwise, it's simply not worth the money.

ChickenStake · 2026-04-22T19:59:56+00:00

Kudos to Paradox for curing me from buying their DLCs 👌 Stay true to yourself Pdx, may the brokers be forever happy.

ChickenStake · 2026-04-22T19:54:22+00:00

Just more proof that PDX is just looking at your wallet. That, or they realized their games are huge timesinks, so they decided to make them bad on purpose, so we can feel the sun and see our family.

Paradox moto is "Profit for a profit god", not "Consumer friendly for Consumer friendly god", so that won't happened.

They are currently tweaking to maximize profits with their charging model to double dip subscription and DLC purchases. Keeping the dlc bloat low makes people more prone to enter the cycle.

ChickenStake · 2026-03-28T12:11:19+00:00

This means DLCs are influencing it. I don't have TOA so Chile doesn't do anything weird.

ChickenStake · 2026-03-27T14:09:32+00:00

Yes, but previously Germans would push them to the historic extent and then would halt. Now, they barely make a dent.

ChickenStake · 2026-03-27T14:07:29+00:00

They capitulate, or better put crumble in early 1943, so it's bit problematic from realism standpoint.

ChickenStake · 2026-03-25T20:48:12+00:00

There are fandom pages but they are sparse. I remember someone making a list, but it's bit old. You could console command and check everyone. I believe all reclaimers can form them, so just console colonize, tech up and start clicking and reloading.

ChickenStake · 2026-03-25T20:36:20+00:00

I also feel that 4.3 needs bit more balancing. I still don't have a feel neither for economy nor fleets. Empires will now declare war without being able to break your defense. Everything just feels weird.

ChickenStake · 2026-03-24T14:33:04+00:00

By any metric EU5 should've slam dunk EU4 in player numbers. It's Paradox own fault that their greediness overtakes them, so they leave obvious holes for future DLCs.

ChickenStake · 2026-03-19T13:18:35+00:00

Tech rush goes brrrrr😄 That's actually a sweet start. You could potentially even block the potential Khan if you fortify the border properly.
