#eu5

Every grand strategy game has the Intensive Agriculture tech that gives +10% food production. Like, you thought agriculture was intense before? You won't BELIEVE what we do to plants now. It'll rock your shit.

every eu5 player i know is like "this is the best game ever except for the fact that half the core mechanics don't actually work"

It is kind of funny how consistently Nobles are just the biggest pain in the ass in Paradox games. Like in Vic 3 they're a pain because they actively oppose industrialization, give few good bonuses and generally just throw a shitfit and rebel if you change anything away from wildly favoring them. Fair enough, old money isn't great for innovation I get it, but those fucks are also a pain in EU5. industrialization and modernization isn't much of a concern, but the same old "if you as much as look at that 'give the nobles slightly less power' button I'm going to burn this fucking country to the ground" business very much goes on and the best Nobles can do for you that other estates can't is that it's almost acceptable for a royal person to marry a noble, unlike the huge humiliation it apparently is to marry a regular person. Now you'd think nobles would be better in CK3, since the feudal system kind of relies on them, and in a way that's true. Except one little thing, your noble subjects aren't your friends, not by a long shot. Those scheming weasles will fuck with you at just about every opportunity. Oops, forgot to pay my taxes, oh dang those reinforcements must've gotten lost in bueraucracy, rest assured my liege I am not plotting against your life or the life of anyone important to you (Lying,) and so that's just the kind of shit they'll get up to when they don't actively dislike you.

CANT WAIT FOR EU5 OH MY LOORRDDDYYYY

Europa Universalis 5 is so cool but so confusing lol; using similar pop mechanics as…. stellaris? vicky 3? weird. i like the cultures 🤩 but i want to play in North/South America, Africa, and Australia ): i’m pre sure tho eventually Paradox will add more of that ^^

I hope they nerf eu5 byzantium into the ground and the dlc is just about how hard it fell apart
