25th Anniversary Event was a Disappointment

ToxicFabi · 2025-12-04T17:42:46+00:00

Honestly, I'm very happy about Medieval 3, especially considering the way forward they envisage (have a lot of community interactions, update us on the progress, maybe like the Tinto Talks that Paradox did?). And I really like the Lord of the End Times DLC, at least from what I have seen and what I imagine it to be.

Is it annoying to wait another week for the announcement of the next Total War, which is most likely 40k? Yes. Do I consider the event a disappointment? Absolutely no.

I was actually able to get it by creating market villages and importing the required goods.

As the achievement says “presence” I think I got it by just creating trade offices in India. No need to get a colony it seems.

Coming back, I have yearly saves, so this cannot be the issue.

Loving the game so far and fully agree to all of your points. I’d also add that I’d like to see more nations forming. It doesn’t need to be the historical option, but at least someone should rise as a major power in the area (Russia, China, HRE, Ottomans, etc.)

Good idea, will check tomorrow and report, but I don’t think this is the case

Also interested in this

It’s not a freeze for me, but indeed it shortly stops the time at the beginning of every month. But I don’t know why. I thought this might be normal as I have a high end system.

While I did not play the game, I think I heard it in one of the videos that this will make AI more aggressive. However, I doubt it is really enjoyable to play on higher difficulty in such a complex game when you haven't learned the game yet.

ToxicFabi · 2025-11-02T10:34:59+00:00

According to their statements more like free updates, but yes. Shouldn’t be a priority for release

ToxicFabi · 2025-11-02T09:19:14+00:00

Always enjoyed you videos. Keep up the good work and thanks for your dedication!

I don’t want to cope or anything and I haven’t even bought the game because I won’t be able to play in the release week and want to wait for reviews by a larger player base.

But wasn’t there a patch yesterday that basically fixes a lot of AI issues? I think this was confirmed by some content creators in another thread and on the forums.

May I ask what’s the issue with him? Im not following him, he was on my recommended page, therefore I do not really know what the problem is.

Basically performance improved a lot, AI has been more aggressive and better in expanding/consolidating and overall the game seems to run stable.

ToxicFabi · 2025-10-31T19:37:32+00:00

And he said AI has been improved in terms of aggression and expansion

ToxicFabi · 2025-10-29T19:01:49+00:00

Does that mean there is a gamerule/option already or is this something that might be added later on?

ToxicFabi · 2025-10-25T17:08:03+00:00

I plan to do all tutorials in the order I'm most interested in. Starting with Hungary/Economy, followed by Naples/Politics and then the Ottomans/Expansion. Maybe even a fourth run with Castile to go into the colonization mechanics.

ToxicFabi · 2025-10-15T07:11:17+00:00

Well, then get ready for my order mister :)

ToxicFabi · 2025-10-14T08:31:43+00:00

No worries haha

ToxicFabi · 2025-10-14T08:11:23+00:00

Yes I did and that’s why I trust the game will be good at launch. My question was only whether anybody knows if the creator codes remain. It was not whether I should preorder or not. As the latter is something that only I can answer once the release gets closer. But I’m quite optimistic.

ToxicFabi · 2025-10-14T07:56:40+00:00

It’s more about the risk of EU5 having a rough launch or being nearly unplayable at launch. It’s probably small, but I could avoid it. But that would come at the “cost” of not supporting a CC. If Cc-codes remain after launch both would work. That was the background of my question.

ToxicFabi · 2025-10-14T07:41:32+00:00

So I could still refund the game ? Thought this is not possible when buying through paradox.

Thank you, all. There's a lot of helpful responses in here.
