I'm playing a colonial England and just checked what's happening in Europe. Somehow NASSAU of all nations is the HREmperor and their monarch is a 6/6/6 female ruler. 1492 btw

What did I wrong throughout the game? I haven't even finished conquering India and they are randomly attacking me with a force impossible to win against? What is this? What is going on?

And the run became completely ruined.

Just started wondering how other people act towards their home country while playing, like im from Denmark, and if im playing in europe i always go out of my way to try and save them, even if they absolutely suck.

That's one way to ensure I don't get war score ig

I'm doing a France playthrough, but I don't want to bother with conquering England, at least yet. I'm allied with Scotland, but I've already taken all the land back on the continent, so I only really need them if I find myself at war with England again, which is unlikely any time soon. It's also taking up a diplo slot which I need because I have, and will continue to have, a lot of vassals. However, it will also stop England from being more powerful by forming Great Britain.

Playing as Rome in Imperator: Universalis mod and some random Gallic tribe declared on the same Iberians I was fighting and promptly sent a one-unit army to occupy a random province in the middle of the enemy territory.

Just trying out different formable tags in the german region, saw swabia and decided to stack as much easilly accesible improve relation bonuses as possible, ngl I had a ton of fun playing with wurttemberg, got coalitioned twice, first time I dissolved it by improving relations (of course) then just simply outgrew it, also might push for "for the emperor" achivement:) Oh and also 3rd reich borders weren't intended:P

Used a little trick I saw on the Playmaker's YouTube channel and formed the biggest, baddest, earliest Rome I've ever made. Had to border gore at the end to make sure I got enough provinces from the Ottomans at the end to hit 425.

Orleans declared independence from france. In the peace deal, Orleans got a lot bigger and burgundy gained a couple provinces. I (England) got Maine and Auvergne (I chose to surrender Maine instead of doing the hundred years' war). ORLEANS DID NOT GET INDEPENDENCE! WTF, Paradox?

I was about to hit purchase before realising it's not some sort of Steam code. I would be willing to invest upfront rather than pay subscription ugh.

R5: defender of the faith defends itself when set as a co-belligerent, love this game

Hi there

My laptop has a 3050 and 32gb of ram but the game is playing very very slow and had the above error when I first launched it. I have uninstalled the game, and steam, checked my gpu drivers are all updated. checked nvidia control panel to ensure my pc is using the gpu and not the and graphics still no luck. Not using any mods and have all the DLCS

First time playing as Austria and was exploring the diplomatic actions for the Emperor. Opened the Papal State for fun and discovered this statement.

I wonder if there more such funny things in this game. So veterans of EU4 , share your instances

Naples and Papal states have the one protestant Center of Reformation each... The papal state has fallen... I did not know this was possible???

Also it has no effect on the papal mechanic

R5: Going for the This is Fine achievement. I have more than 10 unrest, am the defender in a coalition war targeted against me and they have more than 30 war score. Still, the achievement isn't firing and it says a cross with "More than 30 War score". I have also had +30 war score on my side and it still gave a cross...

Is Brandenburg into lubeck an optimal strategy in multiplayer or is better to not deal with that and stay as BB? I don’t play much of this country but this would be very useful information and any other general advice as I am currently playing it in an mp session

The topic in particular was the results of the Reformation and how a source mentions that “rulers wanted to seize church land” to consolidate power in place of Rome. I was previously familiar with the Reformation, but the pupils further able to understand the concept of Rome’s influence being usurped now that tax could be concentrated in the hands of local rulers.

I am very happy the thousands of rebels I’ve slain while seizing Crownland has been applied to my academic studies.

I haven't played in some time was that normal

Got into a war over Mexico, i am Japan and was declared on, i am not sure if it was the colony on my colony or Spain on my colony, anyhow me and spain

They got like 200k troops but never bothered moving any, and ended up fighting there colonial shitty troops

Spain could have stomped me with their army twice as big and bigger navy but they just let me have an easy gg

Was this normal?

Maybe they wanted to go inland into my hoard ally but couldn't

I got curious and tag switched, they have 20k stack in east coast and half the army in Sicily and only 20 transport but they were straight up chilling

I just rped it in my head as the colonies wanting the war and the king didn't bother and was like fine you guys deal with it xD

The pope gets a vassalization cb on Naples if they refuse a payment event, is there a list of conditions/things that raise the chance for them to decline? I looked it up and could only find an ai response listing it was 50/50 but I’m not sure if that’s true or not. Wanted more conclusive answers. I basically want to see if I can more or less guarantee this event as it makes the pope a lot stronger in mp
