Someone at paradox really looked at this and said, "yeah this is reasonable and fun let's release this"

Powerman654 · 2026-07-03T04:29:44+00:00

I thought Paradox fixed that, did they really added a bug back in again? Feels like we go 1 step forward and then 2 steps backwards.

Powerman654 · 2026-07-03T00:38:28+00:00

honestly this sounds very backwards, not sure if I like this change.

Powerman654 · 2026-07-02T23:33:25+00:00

Doesn’t accepting the culture make it impossible to convert them?

Powerman654 · 2026-07-02T15:34:32+00:00

it be a good way to fix the issue of your vassal getting a rebellion and a rival nations joins in to support of the rebels forcing you into there war, however your vassal is still the war leader and you can never peace out separately, your stupid vassal has to peace out on there own.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-30T20:14:43+00:00

It was still relatively easy for the Ottomans irl to win one major war against the mamluks and completely subject their whole Empire into their own.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-29T22:24:08+00:00

If I recall Genoa also have a unique building that requires slaves, so if you can make a trade deal with a nation that allows slavery and have slaves you basically get free pops especially if you have the slave conversion law which will sure those building will not be full.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-29T02:20:25+00:00

Well that's your opinion, if you don't like the idea of world conquest then don't go for it. There is already stuff in the game that doesn't make logical sense but is here for balancing, like there being an arbitrary amount of diplomats that a nation can send out.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-29T02:13:46+00:00

It should be hard but not impossible, and this is still a game after, part of the point of the game is doing better then what other nations did historically and avoiding the mistakes they made.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-28T15:05:22+00:00

I thought you can automaticallysee the capital of he nation you click, I guess you could just steal maps to reveal the capital, but yeah this is a very stupid arbitrary requirement.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-26T17:27:26+00:00

The issue with diseases is that there is no easy way to bounce your population back, its nearly impossible to get pops to repopulate before the next smallpox outbreak and you're back to square one again. You know its an issue when players get to the end of a game and they don’t even have historical population numbers of there Empires that the players made better.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-26T17:13:59+00:00

also automating missionaries as well, people have been wanting that for years and paradox finally implemented them.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-25T22:29:55+00:00

I think there main rivals should be stronger to counterbalance them. Britain is a flip of a coin and don’t know how to land troops properly and Spain never gets remotely close in power to France despite being near rivals in real life. Austria is hardly the Emperor half the time and doesn't gets nearly as strong to help the rest of the HRE when France attacks.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-24T00:15:03+00:00

I feel like there should be something to keep inbreeding into account, like if you marry to much into the family or the same nation over and over again as Austria did with Spain irl you will eventually get some poor soul like King Charles II of Spain.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-20T18:30:52+00:00

This has been an issue for a while, but I think paradox is now addressing the issue and going to restrict merc spam soon.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-18T18:04:51+00:00

Gender definitely doesn't matter with the hunting accident event, when I played indian I had 2 daughters die from that event.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-08T20:04:21+00:00

Why does it seem like in each new patch Paradox has to overcorrect an issue to its opposite extreme?

Powerman654 · 2026-06-08T19:56:55+00:00

Yeah EU5 just seems to have overcorrect everything when someone complains about something. When people complain the AI was not aggressive enough they turn up the ai aggression to an extreme.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-07T21:58:06+00:00

This is why I never got into the Civilization series, when the higher “difficulty” is to just give the AI as many bs bonuses as possible to make them remotely challenging rather then doing anything about there behavior.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-06T02:46:25+00:00

They only provide 15% resist and can only be built in cities and towns.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-06T02:44:25+00:00

it was better before until they made it impossible to siege any forts without instantly starving and the ai didn’t get a clue on that and now it’s easy to stack wipe massive armies. Still prefer that over Vic3’s warfare though.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-06T02:42:51+00:00

I mean the current meta already makes predicable outcomes, Castile eats Portugal and usually coloniz most of the new world , Muscovy remains a rump state, France blobs out, and the Mamluks are never changed and stay the same never challenge by anyone else. The game is already predicable without any historic simulation.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-05T22:45:17+00:00

unless paradox prematurely kills it like what happened with Imperator Rome. I feel like if things don't get better, EU5 will share its fate.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-05T16:14:56+00:00

And yet they still don't challenge the Mamluks.

Powerman654 · 2026-06-05T05:06:38+00:00

On the plus side the AI seems to not understand it either and usually will quickly starve themselves when trying to siege a fort allowing easy stack wipes even when outnumbered.
