For people having lag trubbles install latest beta patch, the latest official patch has some bug in it making save files very very big creating some lag issues..

and as few have noted the ai is a moron and the game is only really fun in multiplayer once you start getting a hang of it. The ai cant handle rebels so ai controled nations split up easily, the ai cant handle inflation so later in the game they get outteched like hell. The ai tends to just put there army to siege 1 of your provinces in war so they are pritty easy to handel.

This game seems pretty complex, especially for a newbie that's never played a grand strategy game before. Is there any game that can give me an easier introduction to the genre? Any tips?

I found a bug too... seems that u can take out as many loans as u want at a certain interest, but if u change the diplomatic screen and go back only then does the next level of loan interest increase... but if u wanted u could take out 5 loans in a row at 10% if u got them all at once..

rather then 10%,12%,14%... as intended

Once or twice ive gone to the ledger and all my loans suddenly jumped to 20%... weird loan bugginess..

Is this considered the best of the grand stradegy games?

EU is probably the easiest introduction you get compared to the other Paradox Studio games

maybe give total war shogun 2 a try first

Gonna play some EU3 DW with 5.1b beta patch checksum CCOA in the Hamachi mentioned earlier.
Btw I am not able to ping you nor am I able to talk to you on hamachi GGTeMpLaR.
A game where the first thing you do is scout with a “worker”. Does that make any sense? Who scouts with a “worker”? That’s like sending out the janitor to perform recon, what general would do that? Retarded game.

hey guys, I've been thinking about trying this game, but as I've heard it's difficult to learn.

How is the learning curve though? Is it as difficult as going from D to C on iccup? Are there any sites that give good guides for this game?

you have to learn some basic stuff about how to manage your economy but after that a lot of the game is purely situational and depending a lot on what country you play

No one has answered you because it's not as simple as that. Don't go "What if" because it's not a "what if", it has everything to do with Terrain, Generals talents, Army Tradition, Moral Bar, combination of troops, Troop exhaustion on the tile, who is attacking and defending, etc.

Ok then rather then what would be better... explain how they are different... how can either be effected by those different circumstances?

-As far i understand the 0/0 shock 1/1 moral inf is just moral buffer for my cav, so during fire and shock on defense they soak up some damage/moral damage... but do pretty much zero themselfs

-And the 1/0 shock 1/0 moral infantry seems only useful for sieging, since 0/0 shock infantry doesnt do any damage pretty much on siege.. might kill like 50 from 1000... but these weak moral shock inf will actualy do siege casuality damage...

But what i want to understand is if u were to pit these 2 types of in against each other on plain ground, same bonuses from generals etc which would beat one another?

You can't know because a significant portion of the battles is based on Dice Rolls like in Risk.

Alright well say they get exactly the same rolls... every single time.. say we take out all randomzation out by getting the same random results.. which would win? This bugs the heck out of me..

That's completely irrelevant. It's like saying who would win, unstoppable force or immovable object.

If anything I guess the 1/0 1/0 guy since he's presumably attacking but it's completely irrelevant in actual game sense.

I dont think its irrelevant and i dont think either one can be considered a definete like an unstoppable force or immovable object.. what u said didnt make sense...

In equal circumstances one must be better the other other i just wish i could find information as to how when u lose moral during a fight how it effects casualities. As moral doesnt have an damage attribute but low moral units seem to take huge damage so there must be something somewhere about it... does anyone know the actualy specifics?

How the heck do you colonize nomads (Timurids, Golden Horde, etc)?

So I am the Ottoman Empire which borders near these guys. It is, by design, absolutely impossible to annex their lands. But there is an option to colonize.

The problem? It says the settler will arrive there in 1915.

1915.

It is currently 1457 for me. This is a territory that borders my Ottoman lands. Half a millennium?

What. The. Hell.

So basically I cannot take over these nomad lands that border me, and instead I can only occupy their forts forever. Can anyone help me get these nomad lands?

Maybe this will inform your decision making process

Personally, I prefer units with higher morale and try to make big stacks, cavalry first then adding infantry later, but that is my preference.

aye, higher morale will help you win battles but higher shock/fire will make the enemy take more losses; which one is best is probably very situational

I just beat the shit out of Bohemia ( dunno if that's the right english word, I mean the big country north of austria ) with Brandenburg

first they attacked my ally Mazovia and then they came for me and I somehow manged to break them after they started splitting up their armys and after I had to train like 20k more soldiers :D

was awesome though.

and my spoils of war are whole of Pommerania, Danzig, a big chunk of Gold and the greatest satisfaction I had so far after beating these assholes

and soon I will be able to form Prussia only thing I need is a leader with 7 diplomacy
