- In this video I review MEIOU & Taxes. I discuss the main features, how they change the EU4's atmosphere, and how I think they make the game better and worse.

That moment when a free mod adds more features than all paid EU4 dlcs combined.
I find this critique (quite usual among this and other communities) unfair. The fact that a mod is free is precisely what allow modders to do certain things, some good and some bad. First of all, they can target a very specific (and small) audience, since they don't need to cover a determined investment. What I mean is a company always wants to appeal to the largest audience possible (and NEEDS to appeal to a large enough one), so they won't include many features that will only appeal to, like I said, a very specific demographic. Considering EU4 has sold a few million copies, the % of players who regularly plays MEIOU is EXTREMELY small. A profesional studio can't afford working on a game for years only to sell it to a few thousand people at the very best. Not this game anyway. And that's considering every MEIOU player would pay for such a game.
Second, players don't have a right to make MEIOU accountable for certain flaws, design mistakes or, especially, poor performance, since it's a free product. So modders have a large degree of creative freedom that a company hasn't. Could you imagine what would happen if EU4 vanilla performed like MEIOU does? There would be tons of refunds and rant posts on the forum, and for a reason. On top of that, a lot of people with low end pc's simply couldn't play the game. And modders don't need to worry about whether their mod is more or less popular, and don't need to worry about whether some players like or don't like the latest update or any new feature.
So in conclusion, yeah, good mods add many cool features that hardcore players love and that's great. But companies (in this case Pdx) don't do it not because they can't or don't know how, but because that's not their goal and because they are restricted by the financial constraints large economic investments force them into.
@@WarLasso Well said.

So you're saying is Paradox is unable of making a good game, because they need to milk cash from redditors who are unable to play a complex game. And games like Kerbal, Factorio, various complex simulations, even fighting games, shouldn't exist because they make little money from a small crowd.
What you're really doing is simping for paradox, a publishing company that moves hundreds of millions of dollars yearly and shits on the same players who made them into a giant. Grow the fuck up.
You have to appreciate Reman's conquest of China since the tag 'Tamna' is a one province minor with less than 5 pop on the south coast of Korea.
Pops?
I guess that if you can't get Vic 3, you make EU4 into Vic 3.
knifepony Curious question: would you rather wait for Dan to get back to Victoria, or would you rather have someone else lead Vicky III earlier, but possibly compromise Vicky II features when doing so?
I'd rather wait 30 years for Vic 3 than wait 3 years for a "Vic 3".
knifepony What do you think the chances are that they'll kill the pop system in Vicky III?
Pops are the heart and soul of Vic 3 - given Paradox's recent DLC and HOI4 though....
I'd say about 70% if Vic 3 comes out within 4 years,
50% if 4-6 years
30% if 6-10 years
0% if 10+ years.
If it isn't there initially, they'll release it in DLC, as they would for Crisis - again!
EU3 had pops on provinces but it was very easily ignored
"Estates like to spend the money on troops, fancy clothes and treason" Yes, medieval estates in a nutshell :D
FUCKYOURSELF GOOGLE lmao fr tho
Every ruler in history: Ah shit, here we go again.
EUIV: Troops, Fancy Clothes and Treason
And childbrides

The increased crashing may have come as the result of dispatching runners. I've heard that due to the way coring is handled by the game, dispatching runners adds files to the game and doing it too often ends up causing instablility in the game and causing it to start chugging along.
TheMonocledMenace I've heard this too. it really should be removed or fixed. its a major issue.
Yup, it's a big cause of save bloat, as I believe the mod temporarily adds to and removes every province in the game from the HRE in dispatching runners (yeah, that's the kind of thing they had to do to make these systems work).
Probably true. I haw not used runners and hawe newer crached :-)
11:30 Wait, Total War is more abstract than Civ V? I strongly disagree. Total War uses units from that time period, on maps from that time period, with general strategies. It's not perfect, but it does what it can within the confines of its processors. Civ V, meanwhile, is a hex-based, turn-based board game. Very different, and much more abstract.
Trygve Plaustrum I dunno, TW has been cut down and streamlined to a distressing degree since the horror that was R2TW.
The newer games can actually be pretty good with some of the community mods. But it is sad that they need the community to fix the games' faults.
@@vallytine I've Only Played Rome 1, Highly Recommend.
Valerie Aust Still more of a simulation than civ games dumbass
This was a fantastic mod review; I have never seen better. Props and many thanks.
Michael Miller Yep
This video was my first contact with Meiou and Taxes and I now have far more hours in M&T than in Vanilla. Thanks for this shoutout, Reman, it indirectly provided me with hundreds of hours of fun.
Yeah same, cant go back to vanilla anymore
As always Reman, this is an incredibly detailed, great quality video.
I've been struggling with MEIOU & Taxes the little I've played it, so your explanation has made me definitely want to pick it up again and make a new series on it!
Thank you! And thanks for teaching me a bunch of tricks about the game from your videos.
Was very confused for a minute there, until I realized you were talking about my Ryukyuyuyuyu video! Now I can safely fangirl that you watched and learnt something my videos! :)
I will also admit to absolutely loving your videos and being super jealous of the polished quality of them. Keep it up!
Yep, I agree with everything you said. Especially the expansion and CB problem. The first nation I tried to play as was also the Ottomans and I didn't feel a lot of Incentive to play after establishing the empire in it's historical zenith. They really should give up on the railroading. If not for that (and buggy/unfinished colonization) it would've been the perfect mod. I can't wait until it comes out fully.
Also, if you're going to make a M&T series, I'm definitely watching it Aldra. When the mod's out and colonization is fully implemented I'm doing a Dutch campaign to avenge what happened to you in your latest EU4 MP series :D
Now excuse me while I return to my M&T Naples campaign. I wonder how the mod will punish me for having 3 vassals and 3 junior PU partners (one of them being England).
Nanaya 7e Hah good to know someone wants an M&T series! been considering either byzantium or possibly Naples as well, though Reman has made me consider someone like Milan as well.
Well, I can say that playing as Naples is pretty enjoyable. It starts in a pretty strong position (for its region), but it's not as easy to blob out because of Italian powers balance mechanic (basically your ae acquisition gets bigger the stronger you are in Italy). It's more of a start for playing tall which is what I'm doing. Also, what wasn't mentioned in the video is how reformation is handled differently (which I read about in the forums). I don't remember how exactly it works (I didn't get to it yet), but basically the further away you are from Rome or the more you or your provinces suffered from the hand of the church (or the Papal State), the easier it is to go protestant and apparently after a certain period it's set in stone whether you remain catholic or not (and your subjects prefer to choose the opposite of you).
Imperium Universalis is a really well done mod too
Yeah you should analyse it too
Je sais, je sais, merci.
Legitimately one of the best and most unbiased reviews of anything I have ever seen on CZcams. Serious respect for this, great job. Your voice is also a joy, calm and at just the right pace for me.
Extremely well done; top quality content as always.
What happens with colonization is essentially that it's just flat out broken (in a bad way) because of the way population is handled. Essentially, provinces unconolized at the beginning of the game can't be assigned population values or fertility (what makes you grow), so they all default to the same low value and are more or less useless - that's what I heard anyways.
The North American natives are removed because apparently when they migrate, they cause a division by 0 error that the team hasn't been able to get around.
I've had a fun time in this mod, but as someone who plays more for mechanics and conquest this got a little stale. I am very much not fond of the inability you have to change your rural pop cap, as it really ruins the "going tall" part for me. Also, it feels really bad from a player perspective to have huge plague waves that utterly devestate your best provinces quite often and there is nothing you can do to save them, since plague measures only works for spreading it from the big orban senters.
Modifiers also feel really unimportant and insignificant compared to vanilla, which feels boring and bad. Getting -20 construction cost from an event should with good design make you go "Oh! That's so cool, I want to invest into this province now and take avantage of this!" - then you realize the modifier went from +250% cost to +230% cost, and you feel like the entire thing was just a waste of time. Same with many other modifiers too, like discipline, production efficiency, tax income, manpower... although construction cost is a big one.
I really love the way autonomy and institutions work in the mod though - I really wish that together with a more interactive population mechanic could make it into vanilla. Also, bigger map with more provinces is total awesome.
*_EU4 CAN INTO VICKY 3!_*
And I thought Extended Timeline made the game complex...
"The Estate like wasting money on troops, fancy clothes, and treason." I love that
Awesome video. Straight to the point yet detailed as always, keep it up!
Ive recently started watching your videos and I've learned so much about EU4
Im so glad you made a video on this mod so that I can actually get a grasp of the mechanics
As always Reman, great work on your part. I love the mod although I have a potato of a computer to run it on. Keep up the good work mate ;)
Very good and polished review, your channel as a whole is made of great quality and well thought out videos.
Hey Reman! I'm glad you enjoyed the soundtrack :)
I'm currently in the process of remastering the entire thing and improving it.
Oh, Reman! How you light up my night with this video! Cheers!!
Thank you so much for this video. I've always wanted to know more about this mod but I also couldn't find much of a change list or even a summary.
i absolutely fell in love with this mod and I cant see myself going back to vanilla...its just so much deeper and dynamic I love it...the casus bellies do have to change thought, they are ridiculous and too overpowered
Paradox should hire the M&T team and make M&T a paradox official mod or something like that
Great balanced overview of the mod. Thanks for putting this together.
Really liked your review, and as an avid fan I agree with pretty much all of your description and criticism.
Bang on review, interested to see how they address some of these issues, or if submods will creep up to address things like expansion and coring.
I wanted these types of videos forever Thanks bro ur da best Keep going
Do Voltaire's nightmare, and Super States next
Voltaire's Nightmare is seriously outdated and won't be available for recent versions for a long while :(
There's an updated version for 1.21 "out". Buggy as hell (The audio on the load screen was broke and made me think my headphones broke)
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=932793401
Yeah, I just realized it a couple hours ago myself. There's a new version of Voltaire's Nightmare for 1.21.
It's a very eary Alpha test build, but it is kiiiind of playable, and was released a couple days ago.
agree with superstates, been spending all my time recently playing that
Shattered Europa!
I'd like to see all those little additions in EUV in future. I can't wait to have something like pie charts for all things in provinces, like religion, culture, type of citizens etc. for instance, province A has 90% orthodox, 8% sunni and 2% catholic citizens, and they are all Serbian. I WANT THIS.
So you want Victoria 2 then?
tbh I have never played Vicky, so I didn't know that those things were already implemented in this game :d
Good video. I assume Veritas, Voltaire's Nightmare and a few smaller
mods are incoming in the next few months. I'd suggest taking a look at
Annals of Asia Universalis (maybe compare it with Mandate of Heaven) and some smaller mods like The Reign of Charles V.
Hello Reman, looked at your video again, and i think you for making it.
One point i'd like to come back on is your comment about colonisation and the "brick wall" : basically, if we model that block properly, it'll kill the AI. I've already tried it, and the AI is dumb enough to suicide itself to maintain an untenable colony in Africa.
i used to love playing tall when i started playing eu4, mostly because i didnt understand province value, (this was long before development) now im a blobber like everyone else, but i thought playing MT would bring back my love for playing tall, it really didn't. Yes playing tall is very viable, but again only for some countries. Money not mana is the real bottleneck in MT and if you want it raiding other countries is the only real fast way to get it, that means playing as novgorod or scotland and going tall involves countless wars against your neighboors only for burning stuff down and using their money on your own provinces, but: if you burn down their workshops in london, you only get maybe 1/10 of that value, since money cost scale with how many buildings a province has, and that workshop produced much more in london than it ever will in scotland, this means its always more profitable for you to conqer london than to build workshops somewhere in scotland, this, and the changes to trade nodes and steering ways wich punishes every country not in and end node (steering ways have been more than halved) means going tall as an historic nation with little population startdate or in a bad trade node will probably take you 500 years and your returns will be very negiable, The real problem here is railroading, where only countries that went tall and started colonising early are countrys worth playing tall as, forget playing tall as Scandinavia, forget colonizing as india, mali, inca or malaysa, tall is only worth it if you start tall,
I take it that the Baltic is no end node?
Chief Gironca haha!, xD no but england isn't either, and no trade from africa and or new world can even make germany or central eu
lol why is that funny? :D
Anyway I guess that means only Genoa and Venice are end nodes? I suppose that makes playing as the Hansa really difficult :/
Chief Gironca well baltic end node would be weird, either cutting off rest of europe from russian trade or giving baltic all of western europe trade, seems kinda overpowered, but i guess endnodes always gonna fell abit unjust, well they've added alot pf nodes, so england is its own node, going to netherland endnode, and hansa is its own node, and denmark gets no part of it, instead beloning to the North see node that also dont get anything from north america or canada, prussia is its own node, and novgorod and moskva are two seperate,
i like more nodes ofcourse, but because most of them only steer to one or two other places it makes it a lot harder to profit from trade steering if your not in the right places and you kinda have to conquer for that, trade steering has also been nerfed in its own power making trade republics even more useless
Awesome review, Reman! I will check for myself if roleplaying and playing tall is truly better with this mod. Do you or anybody else reading this know if the devs made any changes to merchant republics/republics in general?
Wait, you think Rome Total War is less simulated then Civ? I'd say Civ is as abstracted as it can get.
Btw.: nice showcase video :)
As I don’t own EU4, I’ve played the ‘predecessor’ of this mod for EU3. Its great, and I can’t wait for my graphics card to finally be able to play EU4.
great video! I was just wondering why you would consider total war more abstract than civ?
This changes everything. Quite literally, everything. Strategies and all.
Your videos on EU4 are great!
Any chance you can you do similar videos on CK2?
MEIOU has come so far, someone really needs to make a new introduction to the mod like this
Hi Reman,
I'm an Empire/Napoleon Total War guy who got sick of the sick of the simplicity and historical inaccuracy of the TW series, so Ive come over to EU4. I went all in and bought the full bundle - My question to you is this: As a guy who gets most of his enjoyment out of the nation-building and historical aspects of the game, would it make more sense for me to learn this mod INSTEAD of learning vanilla EU4, or learn vanilla first? I just feel like if this is going to be my primary eventually, I might as well just start with it...
Thanks Reman, and great video!
Colby Nelson Learn vanilla first, this mod assumes that you know vanilla mechanics
Ottomans defeated and integrated the entirety of Mamluks with to wars (in 1516 and 1517)
battle of marj dabiq and the battle of ridaniya
True, but look how fast the Spanish conquered the Aztecs (1519-1521) yet in MEIOU they have to conquer that shit the hard way, nevermind the fact you end up with a worse than useless colonial nation who loses 30 ducats/month after coring (how it is in my current game).. So it's inconsistent at best
"entirety of Mamluks" idiot.
@@Otto500206 Take off the Bavarian flag from your profile picture, brony Turk.
@@lelgie601 let him be...
You know what I don't get? The banner mod. Why do people replace the magnificent crests with these ugly cloth pieces on a wooden rod?
I hope I understand you correctly. The thing is, they're flags and not coats of arms. It doesn't make much sense to present a flag as a coat of arms, because it leads to several flags having part of them cut off when they're only partially displayed in the Vanilla EU4 shield.
But it's not just that they look bad, they look *aaaaawful.*
I have to agree Erik, like look at that Ottoman flag, its absolutely hideous.
Because flags were flown during the time period not shields.
Portugal Disagrees :D
I don't play EU4. Why I'm watching this? But this, is a great, great video. If I have the chance, I'll check this mod. It really looks awesome! Thanks for the video.
God, I love M&T
The problem of ending up having no real opponent happens in vanilla EU4 as well
Yeah he mentions that in the video except in the mod not only do you have no real opponents you have to kill them over and over and over again just to finally conquer them. Main reason y i get bored of invading russia, or the ming, or PLC, or the Ottomans when i'm stronger than them. This runs parallel to the fact that you can blob like crazy due to the current casus beli system, which also means u get to the point where you are stronger than everyone around you much faster anyways and cannot quite expand towards stronger opponents. The mod is fun but it ends up becoming a bigger grind than a normal eu4 world conquest. I also personally don't like too much historical railroading. I could get over it if it ran faster than the normal eu4 but that would obviously be impossible.
In EU4 you end up getting coalitions though, which play the part of the "real opponent" that you miss due to being huge. And if you're skilled enough to avoid coalitions altogether, you probably are skilled enough to not even have real opponents at any point in the game to begin with.
+Rambard What are you trying to say?
Bobby I'm trying to say that in vanilla EU4 you usually always have real opponents even in the form of coalitions, and players who are smart enough to avoid coalitions are probably smart enough to beat any opponent with relative ease.
Rambard doesn't make sense
Another note: the other DLC you probably want to get for this is Common Sense, because of the province interaction button that won't be there without it.
I tried to play this DLCless, but couldn't get far enough to do anything because my computer sucks, but I think you have to build a building and wait a few days to bring up the interaction event without Common Sense, which isn't ideal.
Don't encourage DLC like common sense. It's completely inappropriate to release a DLC that changes the game to an extent that it's unplayable if you don't have it.
CS is just a greed enabler, built to reduce real-life complaints for monarch points. Certainly not "unplayable" without.
The AI has access to all DLC features. They can develop provinces while you cannot. It basically forces the player to play on patch 11.3 if he/she wants a fair, playable, game.
Liber Philosophus Can you cite something as evidence of that claim?
Me playing the game? Regardless, as a modder, most DLC features are in the commons folder, meaning they are in the base game. Meaning the AI has them. But, DLC specifically *Locks* features from the player. The only exception I can think of this is the recent "vassal" system for China, which is removed at the start of the game. If you read the common sense reviews, then other players make similar claims about ai getting the features but the player doesn't.
In CKII, if you take over a republican nation without the required DLC, then the game says "you don't have the required DLC, the game will now exit."
In Vicky II it is also unplayable without DLC, as without DLC you cannot fabricate casus beli. Meaning, you ever take land, you're going to immediately and always eat 10-20 badboy.
In HOI3, it is partially unplayable without DLC. Without DLC, you cannot set theatres. This means you must micromanage every single little action by your army, including moving your troops to the from line and advancing troops.
Luckily, in HOI4 you don't need DLC for it to playable... but that might change in future, as it is a relatively new game.
I've never heard of any significant mod for EU IV before. This one feels great. I really miss EU 2's AGCEEP. Paradox games are great, but they are so dumbed down...
Thanks for the video.
I recently tried out the latest instalment of the mod (2.5 heresy) and whilst I think the mod itself is pretty cool, it's a resource beast. I'd only recommend the mod to those with a mid range CPU and above along with some decent RAM. Something you should have if you're gaming on your PC to be fair.
make a mod review on Veritas et Fortitudo please
I've gained access to the MEIOU home page but the only download on it is the MEIOU and Taxes 1.23 version. Where can I locate the 2.0 version?
forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?forums/meiou-and-taxes.839/
I posted a thread in the paradox forums that both reman and gigau replied to about how M&T was an encouraging attempt to reduce abstractions from the history in eu4, and make it inherit the mechanics of ck2 better, where estates and dynasties controlled everything, rather than everything being centralized suddenly in 1444. I think we agreed that m&t is probably the best anyone's gonna get to balance history and gameplay until eu5, but I have to agree with how obtrusive the expansion mechanics have been designed. I tried 1.99 a bit but I'll wait until actual 2.0 to really put it through its paces.
you should definitely make a video about army compostions. sometimes I'll get my ass handed to me by an inferior force and cant figure out why
Great video has always, i wander why Paradox doesn't pay for the rights and makes this an official expansion, that way they could improve it and add it to the core code of the game.
every time I see 'meiou,' in my head, I say it like 没有 XD
Reman, can you make a full playthrough (episodes or timelapses+commentary) of Mayo and Taxes?
Where do i download it from? the steam has the old version and it simply is not in the paradox forums
except it is on the paradox forums, but you gotta create a account and then link that to your steam account (yea i know its fucking retarded.) forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?forums/meiou-and-taxes.839/
Thank you :)
forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?pages/Please_Register_EU4/
+Noah Thanks. I'd get it legitimately if they didn't want me to wait an hour.
Phlopsi It doesn't matter, the link he gave will just 'You need to be logged into do that' if you don't have eu4 registered. that link is okay as it realise on have access to the mod forum
The best comparison I can make this mod to in terms of if it's a different game or not, is dayZ. It's clearly still the same base game, but it's utilized very very differently despite using the same mechanics.
ANYBODY READING THIS ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO PLAY THIS MOD!
Anyone's seen Arumba's latest EUIV LP? Its a MEIOU&Taxes LP, and although wars in MEIOU can be very long, you cannot say anything like that for the first couple wars in Arumba's game, 1 day siege ticks!
7:15 Yes, in fact I was wanting to play this mod with Charrua, but without them I will not install it :P
Superstates or maybe Third Odyssey! Also, Provinces of Lower Europe and Lord of Universalis!
Mayo and taxes sounds pretty delicious
I have 600+ hours in EU4, I have never played anything other than vanilla. Could anyone recommend a mod which could get me started in the whole scheme of modding, before I try chunkier mods like MEIOU?
Imperium Universalis, Extended Timeline, Provinces of lower Europe, Rule the Waves, Naval Ideas Great Again, Third Odyssey, Renovatio Imperii, Absolutely OverPowered Byzantium, Provinces of Austria, Arabia Universalis, Shattered Europe, Rome (just Rome), Mesoamerica Universalis. I probably forgot some but try these ones.
I couldn't find the Provinces of Austria mod you were talking about.
Thanks.
If you're reviewing mods could you have a look at the Third Odyssey mod please?
I think I'll wait for a bit.
How do I get to see the page? I'm relatively new to paradox plaza. Is it some sort of closed beta?
Nevermind
Not only is it modifiable, but they literally give you instructions and organize the data of the game for you. Great company in that regard.
When you took China as Tamna, were you over the negative interest threshold? If you were, you could build capitals all over the place, giving you the CE to blob.
I somehow got the "Unite the Netherlands" CB as Prussia and used the additional resources to quickly conquer Germany.
Started my game in Japan as a daymio - great game and much more rewarding in terms of winning a province as wars are now more intense - it will take some time before I unify Japan and head for Korea, taking on China from this bridgehead
21:04 Hey Reman, could you give more specs of your PC? I have AMD FX-6350 and compared your CPU and your M&T performance I think I should run it faster :/ Also are you playing on SSD or HDD?
I'm excited about the increase in availability of buildings. It's buildings -> development, not development first then buildings...
they said that the problems with mods are going to be dealt with, so I guess you can look forward to that.!
Despite having a decent computer and using Fast Universalis alongside M&T i can't get it to go any faster than speed 3 (as in, speed 4 and 5 are just as slow due to lag). Is there a fix to this or do I have to upgrade my toaster?
The guys that made this need to be hired to make EU5
Can you do Veritas Et Fortudo next?
Ive played a game with france, had a LOT of fun in the centralisation progress and dealing with the nobles.
After 100 years there was burgundy left and a massive baguette with 300k Manpower, 80k forcelimit(during peacetime) and almost 100 ducats of income. And i didnt even left french borders.
But after that, it became boring...
This mod actually makes me want to defend my provinces and build castles.
I Would Consider The Levy System A Major Change To Warfare..... A Nomadic Nation With 5K Soldiers Can Raise Over 50K In Times Of War.
As in real life.
Please make more video's Reman !
Either Bessarabia/Moldavia counts as Greece or Ottos get to use their Sultanate of Rum CB against basically everybody in the current version of the mod.
The part about there being the same amount/less micromanagement is completely ridiculous and completely untrue. However, it should be said that tweaking and touching on all the little nobs and bits that run your country (ie. the micromanagement) is made extremely fun by the mod, seeing little percentages and numbers going up gives a sense of progression, buildup and improvement that i think i've yet to see in any other game.
which version of EUIV do I need to play this?
1.21
Few things should be removed or changed. Timber is kinda weird and out of place. Runners are broken apparently and can ruin or slow your game. The AI sucks if you siege them into debt. I think it needs mapmodes to see more things ie road levels. But its in beta so who knows.
Edit: I do like the idea tree and pops a lot. And that monarch points arent as hard to stockpile so going ahead of tech isnt hard. although its not hard to get ahead of the AI and stomp them.
also about the exploration ideas early. The AI usually doesnt get then in time as theyre behind ideas and evem if they get them early their colonial range prevents them from getting very far.
CommandoDude I get the timber mechanics purpose but its out of place. There is certainly a lot of missing tooltips like he mentions in the review
CommandoDude Fair enough. I've been judging it as early access anyways. I enjoy my time with it tbh I like the many types of trade goods so far. Since I'm playing the netherlands Trade is pretty good and its where it shines to me at this point.
You could work around it by making roads a multi-level building
I really wish this mod was able to run on something other than a NASA-Roscosmos level computer.
would lots of the stuff still work without having dlcs?
Can any one help me please i went to steam workshop to download the game but i found out that the mod require other dlc mods like 6 or 7 to download and i got really confused can anybody help me and explain how to download this mod i really want to play it badly :(

if there is any mediafire link or anything it could mean a lot for me
Honestly this should be eu5. Paradox should take the modded eu4 balance it and then release it as eu5. I'd buy it.
Wait. It took you 85 seconds to complete a full year in speed 5, and 191 seconds to complete 300 years at speed 3?! My computer barely does 10 years in 4 minutes. Where the heck did you stole that supercomputer from, NASA?
I can't load this mod. It allows me to select it before the game beggins but then is the same. Does it require a DLC?
I installed the mod but when I chose a country and start playing the game crashes.
how on earth did you pull off getting jeju in the chinese unification war and win by 1398? xD you are insane :D
Stopped doing mod reviews or just out of good mods to try? Have a look at the Idea Variation mod, my personal favourite apart from Shattered Europa (which went RIP after 1.24)
It also adds a really cool optional difficulty increase, sort of like lucky nations for ALL AI, as well as "more lucky" lucky nations... Usually I turn it off unless I'm playing a powerful nation, which is rare, but it's good to have the option.
Hey does anyone know if meiou is compatible with the Random New World expansion?
Most ambitious mod? *Imperium Universalis stares angrily*
Are there new models for the early start date
Are there any news for an version that works on EU4 1.30.3?
What do you think of the new Volitaire's Nightmare?
There's a new Voltaire's Nightmare? Did the developer finally update his mod? It was abandoned since 1.18, if my memory serves.
yh look on the steam workshop
well atleast eu4 have a simple commodity mechani- OHMYGAHWTFISTHISMODILLKILLMYSELF
