I love youim taking solius to hell with me
Oh wow you’re still going huh?im taking solius to hell with me
Oh wow you’re still going huh?
You are, but he was allied to someone else and that was who was invaded. Only get called into direct alliances, there's no WW1 alliance system shenanigans.Am I not allies with Bailly any more?
@Welsh Wonder has probably put this thread on ignore ages ago, because it's been a long stream of bad news. And now time for the worst of all.
Britain is now a two-man game, just like Iberia and Scandinavia.
Fingers crossed.
You're not at the bottom of the average ruler rankings, but you're closer to it than the top. Libero P-Nut is a pretty good 4-4-4, so it doesn't hurt.Cheers @hobbers for finally making me relevant. Hopefully we push on now and take some more of that central European land.
Might have taken it a bit far with changing religion though, I expect that to cause issues somewhere
@nimic by any chance is my upturn in fortunes due to finally getting a ruler with stats above 3?
You lost the green-striped provinces, I'm afraid! But at least it only cost you like 180k casualties (and the same on the other side).Fingers crossed.
This is highly complex grand strategy game so it is hard to sum tips (because everything is important).I just got into this game. Any of you nerds have a good little rundown of things I want to be mindful of as a beginner? I have experience playing Stellaris.
Kinda glad it's not Solius, you or BD that did it, this way you fecks don't get the satisfaction
You have a bit in Guyana, but no big colonies. Asia is still possible, though that would be more conquest than just sending colonists.@nimic Do I have any colonies? Surely I didnt get through the golden age without getting a bit of an empire?
There's a LOT of mechanics (as you'd expect from Paradox games). The wiki is very helpful. https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Europa_Universalis_4_WikiI just got into this game.

Get off my beaver tail!I'm coming for your poutine, @RedSky.

Ideas (these are basically upgrades you can take that come in Administrative, Diplomatic and Military, using the currency generated (generally) by the skills of your ruler. They're one way of measuring how well you're doing that doesn't necessarily relate directly to your number of provinces or the size of your armies. If you're conquering a lot you'll probably use a lot of Administrative power on making the new provinces cores, so maybe won't have as much to spend on new ideas)

I just noticed I should probably have done the stats backwards, with the number first and then the name. I'm way too resistant to change to fix it now, but I'll make a mental note for any future Experiments.
Country updates to come later tonight.
It's not, but I love the ambition.Is that me in Sumatra?
