    I guess we really agree to disagree on here because it seems we play in entirely different games, especially i don’t remember any variety from CK2 except nomads and republics and it was a crap variety, disconnected and pretty much bland, and the current administrative system was exactly the same mistake.

    just hoping that they don’t pull a CK3 with EU5.

    I hope they do, CK3 is way better than Ck2 while EU4 was worst part of the series so that could only mean improvement. Not to mention EU4 is like posterboy of bad DLC policies with tons of small pieces but all of them taste identical.

      I was referring to the DLC policy of CK3 being used again for EU5, I hope EU5 includes all of EU4’s features at launch. Saying EU4 is the worst for DLC is turning a blind eye to the fact that every Paradox game so far after Vic 2 has had horrendous DLC bloat. Paradox is probably the worst in the business with this, all their games are barely functional without the DLC.

        No chance, EU is THE milk cow and the udders will suffer. Also the comparison is somewhat unfair because CK3 at least tried to make it in another way, but sadly i feel like some people deciding this changed midway and suddenly we are back to CK2 politics (but note that on the usuals suspects, vikings and byzantium), some of the DLC’s were really good, T&T was probably one of the best DLC for any PDX game ever. Even Royal Court while flawed was a sign things are going in other direction.

        Yes, but it don’t change the fact EU4 is the worst.

          Subjective, I still think CK2’s had it worst, you can’t even play as most of the world if you play without DLC. Hoi4 probably makes a good contender due to the absurd pricing.

            Ah in that cathegory we should go back to EU1, only EU2 was the first game with entire map playable.

            Well i never think about HoI because it’s imo consistently least interesting of PDX main games, i can’t be even bothered to play it enough to rate it.
