Have a game question? Comment and i'll answer it!
If you're a largish nation, like Hungary or England, would you recommend gobbling up the little states around you fairly early?
Eco goods price collapsing is super case by case, some markets other neighbouring markets will import an ungodly amount of lumber
Please do a good Teutons opener tutorial. I only beat Lithuania 2/10 games and went bankrupt fast after.
Great tips! And good humor 🙂
Game has a pretty frustrating and amateurish design. Virtually everything is penalty based. You got an event? chances are its a random bad thing. You get a government action vote, the success chance is always low and for failing you get a penalty. You delay the vote, again penalty. Your country simply exists and has more than 3 territories – profound penalty instead of having a baseline and improving upon it. Even in wars, you took some land ? well fuck you its worthless for the next century or two. Its not particularly fun.
What the hell, yesterday this guy helped mw in the EU discord and now i see his youtube video??
…deliberately collapsing your construction material price to build things cheaper is not something I have thought of. At all.
Great tutorial! Really easy to follow your points. Playing as Norway, collapsing the price of lumber should be a breeze 😀
Great tutorial, timely with my purchase. Silly question though, why does your name sound like a dogs name?
The economy stuff makes my brain spin. Lol.

I dunno the point of making a game without an AI opponent is exactly, but ya'll have fun
Good one, didn't know about the more granular automation controls
Just racist plenty of p*orn and im very racist
Also idc about your "rules"
Game is awful they ruined it
IS this thing playable with 16 GB ram?
why did u call this the biggest when vicotria 3 exists?
I need to buy a spaceship to replace the old trustworthy hag on my desk first 🙁
i don't need to do anything
Mingeman
Can I release a custom subject that has more than one province? And how?
I always start as Portugal in every new part of EU4 and every new patch and OMG starting Portugal in EU5 is not so easy to learn everything as it used to be in EU1-4 (economy sucks). It looks like in EU5 I need to use Hungary to learn 😛
Is tihs the OST from the game? love it.
This is literally all you need to know to start playing the game. Well done
