r/eu4

I have 700 hrs (ik what a noob) and have played angevin England, Byzantines, Ethiopia, Granada, Japan and Prussia. I personally love the idea of reforming a historic empire and satisfying borders most of all.

With all that in mind I would like a challenge for my next play through which would be harder but still scratch that historic spot.

If all else fails I guess I’ll just win the 100 hundred years for the 10th time 😁

Cologne expanding into Canada

Had the game for a while now and played almost every campaign I could think of. Lately been on a Mamluks run and feel like I could hit Rome pretty quickly. Any way for me to actually hit the button as a Muslim nation?

Thanks

What are some good examples of subjects whose missions can be used to great benefit? Some that I know:

Provence - even if you release them from a single province, giving them Corsica grants them cores on all of Naples.
Yemen - very good for reconquests, and with a bit of mana expenditure and construction you can buff the Mukha province even further.
Croatia - also good for reconquests in some situations, and you can spawn a centre of trade and some development in Zagreb.

I got this bad boy on sale, been wanting it for a while. I read that it wasn’t easy to hop into but it was harder than I expected. Should I just keep clicking around like I’ve been doing hoping that things go well? What is “well”even?

I formed Byzantium as Albania and the Byzantine rebels that existed have turned to my side! Before i took this screenshot they had captured Constantinople and they have since handed it back, they are now besieging that Venetian province on the left as I have a core on it. If i accept demands nothing happens.

The great ULM has started a one man coalition against me. I think it might be over.

As Burgundy you can form France or Netherlands before you become Lotharingia by clicking the mission for Lotharingia, then forming either one before clicking to become Lotharingia. Which option would be better for getting the most beneficial bonuses?

I've played a lot of CK3 and finally decided to plunge into EU4 because I'm writing an alternate history fiction where Japan colonized North America from the west coast, but in my story, I also plan to have the Aztec empire around in the mid 1800s and a couple large Native American confederacies.

I'm basically trying to run some simulations of how this could play out but it requires being able to dictate what multiple countries are doing. I've done 5-6 runs as Japan expanding over but I usually end up getting smashed in dual wars by Spain/Portugal and Britain/13 colonies in the 1600s.

Also any other recommended mods?

basically i go with the teutons, i kick the ass of poland and choose the prussian path, i do the mission and i choose the diplo option, i puppet brandemburg and quit them the elector status and reform into a monarcy, but now what, do i choose to become protestant or catholic, and if i choose protestant, how can i 1. win the war agaisnt the austrians 2. transform all of the members into protestant and 3. do all the reform to centralize the hre (sorry for my bad english)
