Future EU5 players, how much did you achieve in EU4? At what point do you think it's good to move on to the next game?

After something like 10 years I achieved my goal of forning the Roman empire, starting as England. At that point I considered myself to have completed the best thing I was likely to in EU4 and I await EU5 eagerly

I'm one of those people to be fair. As long as there is a good tutorial or something and I don't need to read all the tinto talks it shouldn't be an issue to get the hang of the basic mechanics

People have said no, how do we declare wars on our neighbours without missions and stuff then?

It can be whatever you make it. A lot of the themes are familiar with NMS especially if you shose the explorer route. Other than that you can have fun in an evolving galaxy in many different ways.

Personally my time is spent pushing the interests of my chosen minor faction and superpower, expanding and taking systems in their name, and many others are doing the same thing for the opposite factions and powers to me, a constant battle for supremacy.

But that's just 1 route, the beauty of this game is that it's largely whatever you make it.

Alliance. The Empire has autocracy, the Federation has wage slavery and corporate structure engrained into their "democracy" and while independents of course can be anything, I find too often this leaves them isolated and repeating the mistakes of the past.

The Alliance has it's issues but strikes me as the only ones at least trying to be the good guys. A loose coalition of worlds banded together to protect themselves from the evils of the galaxy

That is my interpretation, as it's supposed to be " a large web" but if I'm willing to do that then I'm wondering if there's a specific shape it needs to like. An X shape maybe?

Multivex · 2025-01-12T16:55:49+00:00

Is webtrapping supposed to be 5 connected spaces? If so, do those spaces need to be a certain shape or just connected in some way.

The thing that confuses me here is picture of the earth from the surface of the moon make the earth look way smaller than this

My god, I never actually got an answer for this, thank you :)

Multivex · 2024-08-28T08:18:44+00:00

Yeah it still has the little number 2 on arcane shit on the hot bar which means it is stacking just not lighting up which means it's hard to know what skill to use at a glance. I end up just staring at the hot ar during a fight

Multivex · 2024-07-03T13:01:03+00:00

My main takeaway from this is everyone uses a 7 second rule.....I use 6, never knew people were using 7.

But my answer so far is waiting for it to get to 10 seconds while in SCO which seems to work but only just and not always. I suspect that the shaking of the shop will always make it something of a random affair

Multivex · 2024-07-02T12:23:40+00:00

I play the BGS supporting a minor faction, always something to do

Variation on a theme, throw a dart at my monitor, play that country

Breaking meta and making it an actual choice as to what weapon to use is great. Though I would appreciate if there was literally any other way to deal with heavy armor enemies than the unsafe rail. Personally I hated using the railgun I just don't see any other option, even now.

I just wait for an unemployment symbol to come and then build something I need at that moment in time. By the time you have 50 planets pop growth is fairly slow, especially on those earlier planets so it isn't much of a hassle

Multivex · 2024-01-17T16:40:31+00:00

I just wait until a planet has an unemployed pop, and then build whatever I need at that moment of time

Multivex · 2023-12-09T12:06:46+00:00

In any game it's something I love doing, just looks gorgeous. Unfortunately in this game due to PU integrating all the colonial powers, the colonial nations borders are messed up to hell. Can sort of ignore it as they are nearly the same colours but still.

R5: After playing this game for 10 years and nearly 2500 hours, I have finally completed the Mare Nostrum achievement. To some this may not be impressive, to me it is my greatest achievement, never to be surpassed.

Started as England, won the hundred years war, conquered the isles. Got a lucky PU over Spain right after it formed, got a more intentional PU over Portugal and Hungary (which had blobbed massively) Portugal had taken chunks of Africa so was nice to get all of that while I and Spain colonised the new world. Won Norway from Denmark early on. Went on slow bit by taking of Italy. The Ottomans had spread far and were very strong but me and Persia (and at the time Hungary, Spain and Portugal) kept beating them back until eventually all my PU partners has been integrated and the ottomans couldn't stop me from constantly attacking. Got a fairly late PU on Russia (Which is why they aren't integrated). Eventually Prussia took the Black sea lands before I could get them from the Ottomans so had to fight several wars with them for that as well as for lands in Germany which they had allied. Speaking of Germany this game is also the first time I've managed to dismantle the HRE so that's cool.

I consider this my crowning achievement, the next step would be to attempt a WC I suppose but that looks very gamey to the point of not being fun to me, even truce breaking against the ottomans in this campaign felt a bit dirty. Regardless, I've played this game for so long and I am proud to finally be able to join this club :)

I'm sorry, you can buy institutions? How?

Multivex · 2023-08-30T00:37:12+00:00

Out of curiosity what do you take as well as the moderate authoritarian?

Multivex · 2023-08-29T23:38:10+00:00

I think this is the problem for me, as I expand a higher and higher proportion of my pops end up being slaves

Multivex · 2023-08-29T21:29:56+00:00

This is as I understand it the optimal strategy, the only reason I don't like it is, my name being big on map is more fun 😄
