Not true, when one has no prior experience with Paradox Interactive Studios games, it probably would take at least a month minimum just to be able to handle a major power well, and a minor power is even worse. If you ask around, many people will agree that EU4 has a fairly steep learning curve. |

If you ask around, many people will agree that EU4 has a fairly steep learning curve. EU4 was my first PIS game, unless you count MBW which they helped publish. I've had for a little over a year now and I only just now figured out how trade works. So yeah, its a pretty "steeP' learning curve. |

It takes probably a year to really master the game. That's how complicated Paradox games are.

Now I am being horrible and beating up all of my neighbors. Deciding if I want a massive mob for a army or a quality one.

Funny thing is the von wittelsbach( danish dynasty has spread to muscovy and even better is the palatinate is under a personal union with muscovy.... but quick question. My dynasty is on the throne of England, and I am byzantium. Should I ever try to claim their throne? Fighting them would be hard, as they are far away.

You would have to fight them, siege their lands to the point where you can impose a PU demand onto them. Byz can't really do that well (not without taking over pretty much all of the Ottomans first). |

The ottomans don't exist anymor Okay, so you're not a tiny OPM anymore, that's good. Would you be able to land troops and dominate on land against England? Even if England's stronger on the waters than on the land, England is still pretty much a big boy on land. If Scotland still exist, I would ask for military access then land a lot of troops onto the Scottish soil before DOWing England (long as Scotland isn't tangled up with England in an alliance!) Trying to land troops directly onto England tends to be doomed to sinking into the English Channel btw. |

I LOVE the enforce peace option, basically only way for me to expand as naples in Italy. (Florence is dumb enough to keep declaring wars.) |

Relying on the AI to do an amphibious landing at the same time as yours? Not a good plan lol. The French navy helps ONLY as a distraction for the English navy. So you will have to be lightning fast to land your army then run back to a safe harbor on the French coast ASAP. I've done that kind of thing against Castille, landing an army directly onto their soil whike their navy was too busy stomping on the little Italian navies. |

I don't care if france helps, it would be for a close staging ground If France is willing, go for it lol. If not, then military access without France joining in would help out a lot. However, you're going to need a big distraction for the hungry English navy. They're pretty vicious on the waters. In my personal experience, using Scotland as a staging ground is definitely more effective if you don't have a solid ally to distract the enemy. You can ask Ivan Kolev if he agrees with what I said or not. He probably would agree with the facts and tips. |

So the persia update came out yesterday. And the AI is behaving oddly when making alliances. I was playing France and allied with castile planning to carve up aragon. However usually aragon allies Hungary or austria but this time they allied ragusa and Albania? And Albania also allied Venice and Hungary. Maybe the way AI makes alliances is different?
Also changed up middle east and more provinces in middle east and Anatolia. Aq Qoynulu is bigger and timurids is a shadow of its former self. One last thing I saw is when I declared a war of reconquest against england. For taking all English land in France besides Calais I got 23 aggressive expansions penalty. Before I would get nearly twice that amount?
