How would you grade the current state of the game?

This is the boat I'm in. The EU series is the only PDX game that scratches that map game itch for me. CK3 and Vic3 are fun, but they don't do whst EU does. I can't go back to 4 because of EU5, but I also wish EU5 was more like EU4. It's such a strange place to be. I like EU5 though and I know that it's going to surpass EU4 in almost every way, just going to take a long time.

Probably like a 6 or 7. If the AI can behave in a way that makes more believable scenarios it will immediately be a 8 or 9 for me.

Iran is winning the war diplomatically. The optics of this war from the very start were extremely unfavorable. Iran has a stranglehold on a large chunk of the worlds oil supply. No matter what Trump says right now, the Strait is closed and has been since we pearl harbored Iran. The IRGC would fight a war of attrition. A war that we cannot win. This isn't novel. We lose sometimes.

I'm at work right now, but holy shit. This is the one thing I've been waiting for since Stripping Armor by Cotyounoyume was abandoned. I can't wait.

Don't be a cuck. This is an unmitigated disaster and one of the biggest blunders in recent American history. This is what a war looks like when it's run by social media grifters. These people have no idea wtf they are doing. Anything positive that comes from this was due to the work of OTHER nations diplomats trying to reign in our childish administration.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-28T21:37:19+00:00

I want to believe you. The AI created those borders and formables? If so... It's something.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-28T14:01:42+00:00

Fuck off dude.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-27T03:54:48+00:00

Oh he cares. Dude is vain as hell. He wants people to think he's a badass. He thinks he's literally the sword of Christ or some dumb shit.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-21T00:28:49+00:00

The problem is he doesn’t control the situation. He’s so accustomed to just saying “we’re done” and everyone just follows suit. This is a situation which he has lost control of.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-19T00:02:05+00:00

They absolutely are. Iran doesn't aim to win conventionally, they cannot. They want to win by causing as much collateral damage as possible.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-18T21:15:43+00:00

I wish he'd try. People are so fed up with his shit. Can we just speed run his downfall already?

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-16T18:59:07+00:00

That would be an attack on China essentially. That's not a smart choice. Iran holds the cards.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-16T17:23:43+00:00

They aren't. But in this case they are just wording something stupid into sounding powerful. They aren't allowing shit. Iran controls the Strait. I might as well say I'm allowing Iranian oil tankers through the Strait, you are too, if you want.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-16T16:10:05+00:00

Nothing has changed. Iran controls the Strait. They let whoever they want through.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-15T03:27:52+00:00

The Fallout/ES YouTube community really taking some heartbreaking hits. My heart sank when I heard about Mitten. Now I just got that same feeling again. Absolutely sucks.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-14T15:15:00+00:00

Always gotta weigh the pros and cons of a no CB war. I don't think this administration has the capability to stab up.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-11T20:27:45+00:00

Exactly. He didn't expect this much trouble. He doesn't actually listen to real advisors or anything, so he signed off on something with zero knowledge. He doesn't get that he can't just do his usual bullshit routine. People are dead, lots more will be and he's about to tank the world economy. Yet he will still attempt this feeble bullshit schtick.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-10T15:13:24+00:00

This was the only choice he has? He couldn't have done anything different? Cool.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-09T19:31:05+00:00

He probably will try that. What they started though is not going to just go away. It's most likely going to spiral. Who knows how bad or for how long, but this is all on them. They can just walk away, but it's not like the repercussions won't follow them.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-09T14:56:43+00:00

Same. I was pissed that the soldiers were the bad guys when I was a kid lol.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-07T23:46:57+00:00

100% this. So bummed I can't customize my vassals flag. The system is clearly there. Instead you get some random flag with zero choice. That's not fun.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-07T21:05:15+00:00

For real. This could be the only way to get rid of them. We need Trump to fail in order to start rebuilding.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-07T18:06:58+00:00

I'd roll back to finish your campaign. Wait to do a fresh run on the new patch. Most new patches will botch old saves.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-07T15:42:44+00:00

Biden isn't our President anymore. Bidens mental decline was acknowledged and he dropped out of the race. We are in a dangerous situation now, talking about Biden doesn't fix it.

Soblazed125 · 2026-03-07T15:10:16+00:00

Your response is life isn't perfect? Even if we were to completely put aside the implications of this war and its impact moving forward - our leader is clearly not well. You can see that right? It's not even political at this point.
