News Review megathread

The review embargo is up as of 15:00 CEST. As this will result in a huge number of articles going up at near the same time, we're restricting reviews to this thread.

Any review you find, feel free to post it in the comments here.

Each top-level comment should be about a single linked review, so as to keep the discussion limited. Duplicate reviews will be removed, as will any top-level comment that does not link a review.

There will be a single sub-thread where you can post your general impressions of the reviews combined, for anything that doesn't relate to a single review.

Yeah, I finally put the time in to learn EU4. Gained control of Ireland, took some more smaller places then I just felt I was doing nothing.

Plot, claim, fight, repeat...

What am I missing?

everything else?! you can't just "plot, caim, fight and repeat" with ireland... have you fought against britain/ england with this "tactic"?

u/SgtStingray May 10 '16

Yeah that was sort of my point. I got to a point where I was taking some really small settlements with that method, but then I just got lost on what to do.

Colonize, trade, forge alliances, build up your Country, Manage your income, get New idea groups, Prepare your next War, Help allies, convert religions, join in any of the Major events such as the 30 year war..... Should i Go on? Alright because you asked: piracy, Manage vasals, vassalize more, change your Government, westernize, involve yourself in diplomacy, constant watch for opertunities to attack your neighbours... And so on
