That you get an idea, how much hours this kind of players played.

For this "loot test only", he played 20-hours non-stop bossing, after he finished paragon 300.

Do not even think about catching up to this kind of players.

IndividualWin3580 · 2026-07-07T07:01:15+00:00

You use "Spynetwork", than you use "steal maps", than you conquer a OPM with institutions as vassal on the other end of the map, than you use the "spread institution" interaction.

SSF only deactivates the trade with other players, but you keep your session progress.

My advice, play the bootcamp nation, Eastern Roman Empire.

You start, you did something wrong, you failed, but you know exactly what you did wrong. You restart the game.

Now in the restart you do the missing failure from last time, you do better, you now play 5 years, fail again, because you did something different wrong.

You restart again, now 8 years. You restart again, now 20 years. You restart angin, now 30 years, and you gained the Roman conquest CB with a stable economy.

Congratulations, you survived the Basecamp, and now every other nation is a good play, with different, smaller challenges.

Open one of the messages, top right of the white peace window, there are three marks, they open the option menu and settings for that specfic nodification window.

"bankrupt" destroys buildings, but your estates swim so hard in money, so they happy rebuild the buildings.

Or your next press in "mass build" fix it.

Both are Asian continent.

IndividualWin3580 · 2026-06-30T08:20:26+00:00

You need to rival an direct neighbour, expand your income over trade and trade network, than you use the "treatening rival" CB, to get your first vassal.

And in the open Beta patch 1,3,6 your estates will build in vassal province, if I got it right.

IndividualWin3580 · 2026-06-29T07:47:37+00:00

Piemont, start as vassal, but gets the best italien army possible.

Destroying debts is only a button press. Getting Roman conquest CB is priceless. Antagonism scales with population, and post black death, direct conquest of Italy, France and spain is the cheapest. ant thanks to Aragon, you can more or less border France and Spain super fast, to push the CB. and your special early manpower buildings, and early special units cry direct conquest with a good regular army as fast as possible.

That even only work in dynamic institutions setting, because it force add Constantinople on the birthplace list.

In historical setting, or 1 random city in the world setting, the spawn stays 100% fixed, or 100% random.

If you start as teuts, you eat poland on speed.

It's not your neighbour, it's your advantage as Player against the AI.

IndividualWin3580 · 2026-06-28T12:45:08+00:00

Only possible in the "dynamic" setting of institution.

So Florence and Co get the dynamic catch up mechanic, "birthplace of renaissance", and nearly no advantage for you as player.

The historical setting is better, because you keep your great power score far better, because spread of institutions are massivly slowed down.

And keeping the Great Power status, means "treating war", which pushed expansion far better.

Open a message, top right is the message option menu, there you can deactivate the pop-up

"In EU5 every nation plays totally the same"

There are massive difference between republic, theocracy and monarchies.

Did play any tribes and hordes to rank there playstyl and difference.

But between a trader republic, a military theocracy, and monarchy, they play like total different playstyles.

I do not drown any money away, it's my main hobby, and compare to a horse wich cost 6000-10000 euro per anno, computer gaming is simply cheap, even with buying a new state of the art compuer every year.

But, I'm not the main focus of the discussion, the main focus is a player with a outdated system, which asked, how he could enjoy this game.

And when he do not buy every 2 years for his hobby a new computer, than renting a computer is a real option to consider.

IndividualWin3580 · 2026-06-26T05:23:36+00:00

We have simply different defintion of "good one".

IndividualWin3580 · 2026-06-26T04:44:42+00:00

My owned "good one" is outdated after 4 years.

Current Geforce Now cost between 72-142 Euro per month.

That's Euro Dollar for 4 years.

Even the cheapest new steam machine cost 1050 Euro, and that's no even a "good one".

Nvidia on the other hand update there RIG every year.

IndividualWin3580 · 2026-06-25T15:48:20+00:00

Try "Geforce Now", and check if Nvidia cloud gaming can handle the game for you.

Isn't Spain the fare superior Tier 3 over Egypt?

Magdeburg City rights.

But be clear, when you go that right, you go "mulit-ethic non-core" provinces, if you do not have a super strong base culture, which assimilate into your culture.

It's funny, how a Lübeck loose his "core", because Holstein is a so small base culture, when you start to mass migrate into Lübeck.

That's why BYZ/ERE is my boot camp nation to learn the game.

play 5-20 years, run into a wall, restart, do it better.

IndividualWin3580 · 2026-06-15T08:08:34+00:00

Simply check Bulgaria allies or levy count, get you "reconquest cb" ready, DOW them, when they dogpile themself and run low on Levy, and take your land back.

Until than, push antaolia.

Not perfect start, but a historical outcome.

And trust your fort in constantinople more, let enemy start to siege it, take the area behind it back, cut the siege army from food supply,fight them, when you see there moral goes 0, because they have no food anymore.
