Looks like you need infinite ram

It look hideously disgusting. I love it.

I'm so mad that they not only left sicily to far to the left to see in the FIRST map. And in the second map that shows europe? ITS TO DOWN SOUTH Anyway, sicily should be called sicily and not Trinacria in eu5

I love HRE bordergore, the more small nations (accuratly though), the better. Let me melt my PC :D

Better get that Intel 16900 on pre-order.

@@yaldabaoth2 Fuck that, i don't want it to heat my house, AMD 5800x3D or 7800x3D is much better 300w vs 100w and faster

@@celdur4635 Don't worry, in 5 years Intel CPUs will come with a mandatory chimney stack you need to install in your house to get that furnace-like air out. On the plus side, you can get into the steel production business now.

Mercy for the mercenaries

My full PC is asking for retirement....

True. Ottomen had their peak military strength at 1609 with about 250,000 soldiers. But it's still weird Venice or Hungary can fart out that same amount of Soldiers too in EU4.

A project for a lifetime :D

I have an alum stone in my shaving kit.

Interesting how it's similar to the French word "Comptoir"

In Danish, it literally translates to "Office."

The dutch word for office is kantoor, which is obviously derived from kontor. A lot of dutch cities were part of the hanze

Yeah having the option of really leaning into a trade empire and controlling trade in massive regions by taking key points sounds sick af

Johan had said that growing your own Market is only beneficial to a certain extent and at some point because one market cannot supply large areas of

Say that in the forum, they read it, yknow

@@ScullexSadly I am not on there, I will have to suffer for being mislabeled as Flemish by Paradox

@@sebe2255make an account for the paradox forums then?

their reasoning for this was: "We had 3 options for the cultures: 1. Just go with Dutch, based on the language. 2. Portray the 4 regional variants/dialects of Middle Dutch (Flemish, Brabantic, Hollandic, Limburgic), plus Dutch Low Saxon. 3. Opting for an intermediate level, grouping Flemish, Brabantic, and Limburgic under Flemish, and Hollandic and Dutch Low Saxon groups under Dutch (as they also had a really close relationship). This is the one we decided to go to, for the moment. We also discussed internally Overijssel and the Dutch Low Saxon region; as we have to review a bit the German cultures, it may change depending on that. And, in any case, we make this new series precisely to gather feedback, so we'll be reading opinions on this topic in the next few days." pavia answers in the forums

​@@cratebuttons5128them including dialects as a factor for culture is interesting, I wonder how well they'll do in china

In Eastfrisia we tend to call that region Westfriesland or Central Friesland

Makes sense that you'd have to. That said, the emperor should be less willing to help for certain reasons. They always help, unless they rival the vict- uh, future citizens of my new empire

I wonder if the AI would be able to handle that though. Like it uses it's money to hire mercs and the player just waits and turns them afterwards.

@@HDreamer you could have a grace period of half the contract and maybe it takes a month to hire them over which within that month the original hirer you or the AI, gets a notification saying that the opposition is bidding for your mercs, in which case you could up merc maintenance/monthly cost and that'll add extra value and they'd have to re-bid later. I'm not a game designer, I don't know if something like this could or would work

@@HazmanFTW There could be a way, just remember every new feature makes new exploits. Like in EU4 people love ro get their Armies black flagged to hire them out as condottierie, so they get moneyl, but the army is at no risk.

not a bad thing

It'd be cool if the countries were color coded to their starting area, just so you can see how far Prussia expanded

Lol

Be quiet manure mouth

Shut up man. Just shut up.
