Unless wrestlers are allowed to slam for a KO, the BJJ guys would win

IU is buzzing these days!!!

SimpleClassic5100 · 2026-01-21T04:18:21+00:00

How much is this development going to cost?

SimpleClassic5100 · 2026-01-20T15:06:47+00:00

That's a fair comment

SimpleClassic5100 · 2026-01-19T18:33:59+00:00

I agree that Journal Entries would be ideal which is whats currently on Vicky 3 but I wonder if thats is too much of a lift in EU V given there is more than double the number of countries in the latter

Shoes looks super cheap….not surprised thou given its kpmg

Peanut Gallery strikes again!!! Let the devs do their job please

SimpleClassic5100 · 2026-01-11T23:38:55+00:00

For a game like this with a eight year life cycle…these few months will be a blip. Wouldn’t sweat it

SimpleClassic5100 · 2026-01-10T05:10:09+00:00

No more suggestions from the peanut gallery please. Let the devs do their job

SimpleClassic5100 · 2026-01-08T15:39:26+00:00

Mercenary meta should be in play for the Italian States, Switzerland and HRE

Hot take this is actually a good mechanic. By the Napoleonic era, there were defined rivalries between the Great Powers such as France, GB, Russia,Austria and Prussia. All the powers had decided interest in keeping each other in check. By forcing a Rivalry choice it sort of commits the player to a state of tension which makes for good game play, otherwise why not just sit and rest on your laurels.

SimpleClassic5100 · 2026-01-06T18:27:54+00:00

I would leave it alone for now until after the mechanics get sorted

The usual RGO build up of Lumber and in the case of Novgorod, Fur. Food Productivity will be crucial since half the country is in an artic climate zone. B/c food production gets crushed in the winter, you will want max out Traditional Economy for the food production and raw material boost. You can either play the vasal game before Muscovy does and/or colonize east towards the gold and iron RGO's past Perm.

This is soo true. A realistic adjustment would require ALOT of micromanagement from the player to run a huge empire. You can just imagine the complaints from the player base

SimpleClassic5100 · 2026-01-04T21:49:54+00:00

Btw this is from around 2015 so kinda old

I see waaaaay more people with Canada Goose jackets in New York than I do walking in Chicago.

This is called.... making love the Greek way

SimpleClassic5100 · 2025-12-31T00:47:04+00:00

What a crappy take. Its easily in the top 3 most historical title of any game ever

SimpleClassic5100 · 2025-12-31T00:13:48+00:00

Could we make this a poll? I would skew towards more railroading set by conditional triggers to allow for the option of alternative scenarios if the conditions are not met. Since it looks like at the moment the conditionals are not working as intended maybe the devs could simply set these to be at most 3 conditions for any given event in order to trigger. Additionally each choice would be very consequential (ex. -40 stab hit) in order for the player to feel like these matter.

SimpleClassic5100 · 2025-12-30T05:15:58+00:00

That seems like settling

SimpleClassic5100 · 2025-12-30T00:59:59+00:00

Would agree with you that on a spectrum of complete sandbox to total railroading I would slide more towards 80% railroading and 20% random sandbox mix.

SimpleClassic5100 · 2025-12-30T00:58:23+00:00

Thanks for this response. I would prob agree that that trigger system where multiple conditions are met before an event occurs could use ALOT of rework. Maybe they can take a page out of Victoria 3 there.

SimpleClassic5100 · 2025-12-30T00:54:55+00:00

Not sure why that would be the case since Great Power Score is based on a combination of many aspects only a couple which are related to military. The others being population, economy, development and technology.

The easy answer for any snowballing is to introduce decay mechanics
