Mzab / Pate both have super dicey starts and they have an achievement (stay Ibadi, remove all other Islamic heresies).

Mzab 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.

Any tips of a nation I should play as to start coming back into it?

Depends on how good you were and when you played

I think most medium HRE-states (Bohemia, Brandenburg, Bavaria, Holland) are ok for starters. 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.

Mzab was a lot of fun for me. I'm just super annoyed that they added the Ibadi achievement after I had already done it.

Question: What is this owing favors about? Didnt play in a long time.

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?

You can use those favors to increase trust and call them into offensive wars without promising anything. 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?

I just occupy everything im interested in, I don't trust the AI to transfer occupation. You will see in the peacedeal if your allies will be upset and why.

The game is in discount on steam now: http://store.steampowered.com/app/236850/
Is there a huge difference between the standart version and the collection version? Because the price of the collection is too damn high

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.

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.

Marco's one-tag WC record has fallen, if this is legit:
