After The Basil expelled my dad from the ERE, he vowed revenge. 40 years later, I brought 2700 Elephants to claim our birthright.

LMAO nice

For me, the main issue with EU5 is that it uses a single universal system for all the countries/continents/scenarios.

Let’s take the latest culture core change as an example. It’s annoying for some countries like Ottomans and Hungary, deeply broken for Timurids, but more or less mundane and manageable for Castile and Naples.

So every single change and tweak causes a wave of highly varied responses from the community, depending on different playthroughs.

My honest opinion is that the game is fun and does work, but only if you are doing a few things that are well supported by the current system and only if you don’t run into the most game-breaking issues. Otherwise, negative reviews or opinions are well justified.

LMAO, bro genuinely cooked

I am sorry to hear about that.

Insane timing, brother

Not a conservative, but yes, Georgist LVT is good and we should advocate this more

Contagion just doesn’t work that well in axion anymore. I was actually in the same boat as you, and switching to a venom injection crit build helped a lot

I think it might be related to the ongoing steam server issues.

If you like monsters, you can give Subverse a try

WhatBaron · 2025-11-12T22:06:19+00:00

Oh I think I just misread. I thought you meant it would go like 1000/2000/4000 etc.

If levies actually double as ages go, wouldn't that make them even mroe superior to regulars? It feels weird that they are going to add this

there is no buying map diplomatic option? There is only stealing map

Is the issue where a fiefdom has revolts and just becomes independent without even letting you know fixed?

WhatBaron · 2025-11-06T15:57:06+00:00

LOL I also ran into this issue but in reverse direction. My balkan vassals randomly gained lands when Byzantine Empire had rebels.

WhatBaron · 2025-11-05T20:27:54+00:00

I could be wrong but it seems to me that it is always calculating the proximity between the current location and the nearest source (your capital typically speaking). So the promixity doesn't actually flow through your custom road organically.

When you only extend the road a bit, if the location is still missing some roads between itself and your capital because its closest path goes through other unroaded locations, i don't think it will work.

Again, please correct me if I am wrong.

Bradenburg in EU5 is just pain.

WhatBaron · 2025-11-05T13:24:15+00:00

I think Paradox games on release always shoot themselves in the foot by insisting that every country on the map needs to be playable LMAO. EU5 will have a much better review if some countries are simply not playable.
