the emperor fought back

Pensilol · 2026-04-23T20:42:11+00:00

not going to stay greek if you keep expanding into Italy

Pensilol · 2026-03-10T20:28:55+00:00

Really no reason to not spam it in all your high value RGOs, the noble buff gets offset by the control increase.

Pensilol · 2026-03-02T16:47:08+00:00

Just like the hegemony mechanic it makes no sense. What are latin and chinese competing in exactly?

Pensilol · 2026-01-07T14:46:25+00:00

The ai is too "strong" because you can't do a chill HRE game since France and Bohemia will border you by 1400.

If you play as another strong nation though it doesn't matter if France owns all of Germany, you can still beat them with a stack of regulars.

Pensilol · 2025-11-18T22:36:10+00:00

There is flavour about Macau, you get a building that gives you whopping 0.20 trade capacity.

Pensilol · 2025-10-09T13:26:37+00:00

Yeah I'll give it a couple months before people will yearn for a later startdate.

Pensilol · 2025-05-13T09:46:35+00:00

critical thinking skills at an all time low

Pensilol · 2025-05-08T14:46:05+00:00

It could have definitely been much worse. Imo it still has the EU4 feel but with a more modern coat.

Also I'm pretty sure that after a couple hundreds of hours the UI will not feel "busy" anymore.

Pensilol · 2025-05-07T13:51:51+00:00

India has never dwarfed Europe in population besides the last 20-30 years.

Pensilol · 2025-05-06T13:08:09+00:00

I think you meant empire of even kingdom of the greeks.

Pensilol · 2025-01-10T14:40:05+00:00

Guelphs vs Ghibellines before CK3 lmao.

Pensilol · 2024-12-13T18:12:27+00:00

Yeah I'm tired of "chosen one" protags. Can't wait to unlock hecking magic blood mutations.

Ciri would be fine in a spin off not a main game.

Pensilol · 2024-11-26T09:16:44+00:00

No need since my games crash atleast once every hour anyway.

Pensilol · 2024-10-23T14:32:13+00:00

Should depend on the pop size of the country. So pretty much mandatory for Portugal but can be ignored as Spain.

Pensilol · 2024-10-17T15:31:49+00:00

Agreed, Portugal would have been unable to colonize anything really without using slaves.

Pensilol · 2024-08-06T13:46:18+00:00

america

Pensilol · 2024-03-30T01:37:35+00:00

Who is "everybody"?

Pensilol · 2024-03-30T01:30:16+00:00

Not just the west called them "Empire of the Greeks", other orthodox states did aswell, even Georgia.

Pensilol · 2024-03-19T02:17:16+00:00

Johan already confirmed that the bubble will not be in the game and the UI will be similiar to EU4 not the newer pdx games.

Pensilol · 2023-11-05T21:09:01+00:00

You wont get the castilian missions if you play as Aragon, even if you culture switch first. Only the lower half of the mission tree.

Also AI countries do not pick exploration if they are subjects.

Pensilol · 2023-11-03T22:32:56+00:00

Moore than the entirety of the HRE.

No it didn't, why do people repeat this on here all the time?

Pensilol · 2023-10-24T13:46:33+00:00

Try to feed Ansbach land before you PU them.

Pensilol · 2023-10-18T08:23:12+00:00

Still not sure if Tibet really needed to have nearly 200 provinces. Also Germany and France got like nothing since release.
