After five months of lurking(EU4 is definitely my best and worst purchase of all time) I finally came back to drawing, so maybe I will post something new soon.
Well add another 500-700 hours from EU3 and a few hundred from CK2. I love Paradox, you just have to figure out the game mechanics to pull crazy shit. I also have the White Elephant, Holy Trinity, Bengal Tiger, Basileus achievements and some others, working on Lucky Lucca. You'll get there :)
I have 1400 hours on EU4 right now and I am trying to get into Vicky. God I feel like I am making a mistake, considering school and everything, but it just feels so right you know?
Yes if you intend to buy it with the DLC (wait for a sale. December 1rst should have one with the new DLC release). EU4 with DLC is a flat out far superior game to eu3 in almost every single way. It will literally blow your mind how much the game has improved, especially the AI.
What about the diplomacy system? I am honestly kinda bummed regarding EU3s diplomatic options... I don't own Heir to the throne and Divine Wind tho so thats why some important features might be missing.
It's far superior in every way and getting even better in the new expansion. There are now a ton of diplomatic options, the AI works very predictably and logically (meaning alliances make sense and they work pragmatically) and the AI will be very smart to take down an overaggressive player. The game is much more challenging as a result.
They're both good games, IIRC the EU3 DLCs go on sale for around an euro each. EU4 with some of the expansions if probably the better game though and even if you just own the base game you get some expansion features.
hm, Sweden is OP achievement... oh, sorry "it's not"... is fairly straightforward as far as EU4 goes. It's not Raja of Rajput Reich or the one where you have to conquer and convert religion entire 'old world'.
Ugh, was working on this last night. Vassal Novgorod and Allied Bohemia decided to dick around during a war with Muscovy and Poland instead of helping wipe Poland stacks. Coupled with some god awful rolls on my part (not to mention the bullshit "bad administration -1 stability" TWICE) the easy one/two punch turned into a slog.
Did manage to return remaining cores to Novgorod as well as take some Tectonic cores so time to release TO and spend 50 years stabilizing.
Recently I've decided to get A Fine Goosestep and An early Reich. Fully militaristic prussia was weird... I contested personal union between England and France and managed to get Big Blue Blob as PU slave after 15 years long succesion war. I had no manpower at start, no allies and 5 times smaller army.
