EPTMzab has superior government, worse location (theocracies are the best government type now imo). Pate has jank tribal government but richer lands around in general, and can generally ally Kilwa so their diplomatic situation is better.

If you just want to try out mechanics with as little stress as possible I'd play something like England. Sweden is also still a good one, although Muscovy might stress in the far future. Castile, Muscovy, Ottomans and Poland are still easy games 90% of the time (ordered from weak to strong). Haven't played France recently, but it seems a lot weaker than before. Still a great nation. Austria when you want to try out the emperor-mechanics. Northern Italy is somewhat more advanced but fun to play. Venice is surprisingly strong but gets hate from kebab, Milan is pretty decent, Papal state is not bad. Asia: India's muslim states are really strong regionally and timmy still has the potential to become really strong. Ming is the odd superpower and a lot of gambling. Imo less interesting. But if you don't break down you can throw hundreds of mercs at everyone. Anything in Japan is also a cool start, but you might loose. Outside of that hordes are freaking crazy atm. The easiest right now is probably Uzbek. Those are too easy but thanks for the advice anyway.

Thanks, I'll try them both out and see which one I like more. | ||

Was playing as Tunis and helped the Ottomans in their war agains the Mams. I had some provinces of them claimed myself and occupied them, but they didnt give me shit. Instead all I get was "They now owe us 40 favors" (Or sth. like that, I play with german language, dont know the english wording). How does that help me exactly? | ||

If you want AI to give you provinces you need to mark them as provinces of interest before accepting the cta. Thanks, so that's a new thing aswell. They just used to give me provinces I claimed and occupied. Does that mean I don't have to occupy the provinces anymore, just mark them as important to me? When being the war leader myself, do I have to pay attention only to the provinces my ally marked as important in order to please him? | ||

Is there a huge difference between the standart version and the collection version? Because the price of the collection is too damn high | ||

It would be really interesting to watch. there's an infinite manpower exploit but you still have to win the first wars "legitimately" without help of the exploit which were the hardest wars in the campaign. my laptop is miles too crappy to stream unfortunately. | ||

Because the price of the collection is too damn high The collection just contains a lot of cosmetic stuff, I have some unit packs from EU4 bundles and I have never noticed them. The "extreme" edition contains some events for Byzantium and Muslim countries. They are certainly nice to have, but if you don't have it, you won't know the difference. Congrats, 419. Two WC since Cossacks, how can you endure that?^^ | ||

Apparently it contains the following DLC with gameplay changes: Res Publica, Wealth of Nations and Conquest of Paradise. Additionally there is The Stars and Crescent Pack, which adds some events for Muslim countries. The rest is just cosmetics. If you just want to get started with EU4, you certainly don't need the expansion DLCs and the 3 in that collection version are the least important of all expansions. Conquest of Paradise had its random new world feature improved recently, but it's still a minor expansion in my opinion. | ||
