Europa Universalis IV - 13 August 2013

[Komnenos002]

The Devs have mentioned that restoring Rome in CKII provides you with a different set of National Ideas in EUIV.

My first game will probably be as superpower Rome. Easy to learn the game when you're too big to fail (I assume), and that continuity is really cool.

I'm still determined not to preorder! I will not buy till Christmas... I will not buy it till Christmas...

What? And throw away this amazing feature? Why would you do that?
It won't cost any less on Christmas than it does now.

Food or Europa Universalis 4? Food or Europa Universalis 4?

Europa Universalis 4 of course.
Stop lying to yourself, this is an obvious choice.

EUIV preorders come with a CK2 Converter? Amazing!

 

[Trotsky]

Eh, I'm wary of converters.

Then watch the video on it and see for yourself if you will like it.
This isn't some fan made one it's from Paradox.

I know what they are and what they do - Paradox has been doing these for years.

He was Portugal in the 1508 bookmark (War of the League of Cambrai?). Portugal started out with all those colonies. I don't even think he made it to 1509 without a massive fiscal crisis blowing up.

Issue is fixed. Not sure if the fix will be in the gold master or the first patch, though. Thanks for the assist.

Wouldnt get too excited My understanding is that most Ck2 countries that dont translate directly may end up with the generic set, or at least, they do by default. So unless someone sits down and writes unique ideas for a converted Roman Empire (which may have happened, dont know), by default said Empire would convert but possibly with generic ideas, which aren't that great. The upside is that its fairly trivial to add new unique ones, at least in English. Its the translation issues that make it complicated.

They said in the Converter Video on Youtube that the Jomsvikings and Rome will get unique ideas.

Jomsvikings?

 

[Krall]

Jomsvikings?

I think they're a group of Norse pagan "crusader" mercenaries.

What on earth is that?
Do they not show up until the reformed norse faith can declare holy war?

They can show up starting about 950 if the Norse have taken a county in Pommerania.

Awesome then.

Any idea what their unique ideas are?

 

[Chairwoman Roxelana]

Awesome then.

I am going to guess that some of the other significant groups (Like the Zoroastrians) will also get them.

 

[jmberry]

Jomsvikings?

These guys.

 

[Stonewall]

FUCK, there goes board game, MTG and clothing money
