    THe grid-match was quite interesting. Maybe its possible to make the borders passable with missions like the suez-canal, but only when they conquered their own sqare

    Believe it or not the Ottomans were even more OP in version 1.0. Their Ghazis idea gave something like +200% manpower recovery speed.

    • @CantusTropus
      @CantusTropus Před 2 lety +2

      Yes, triple manpower recovery. And French Elan used to give 33% army morale instead of 20. You can tell that they really had no idea what was and wasn't balanced, since EU3 didn't have national ideas.

    I remember when France would get referred to as the BBB, the Big Blue Blob, because of how much the French AI would blob in earlier versions of the game. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see much of it in your time lapses, but a man can dream

    I'm actually curious as someone who only got into EU4 within the past year, why did rebels not matter in version 1.0? did they just not have any tangible impact on the country?

    • @Peachrocks5
      @Peachrocks5 Před 3 lety +39

      Because they didn't scale with technology IRC. You could kill them very easily. On the other hand there was a period where they were totally random and unrest chance was merely how good your odds were of getting rebels and there was no recent uprising modifier. You can do the math on how annoying that is. If I don't make it for the stream, can someone help Benin? I've never seen them do well in time lapses.

    • @mynameisntpatrick1476
      @mynameisntpatrick1476 Před 3 lety +14

      To add to that, eu4 has a bunch of events and mechanics that fire rebels for specific reasons. For the longest time, rebels were just random shit and you basically just set a stack of armies to "auto hunt rebels" to solve the problem.

    22:45 I think they implemented countries diolo announcing desire for specific territories and the AI better prioritized culture groups or missions. Before then the AI would just aim for territory and it would create terrible map gore.

      United provinces of Central America. It's a tag that's still in the game, but it's exceptionally rare to see the AI form it (for example, the colonial nation's capital has to be in the Central America region, but is part of Colonial Mexico, so most independent colonies just form Mexico)

    I think the version archive could be neat if the versions were side-by-side so you could compare them all at a glance.
    Seeing them back-to-back is only boring because you forget what the older versions looked like -- but if you could look over and directly compare different versions at the same time it could be really interesting. Plus the video would be like 10-15 minutes instead of taking ages.

  • @SurprisinglyDynamicAnimeSideC

    You should overlay separate windows on top of the usual view of Eurasia + Africa. Those windows, minimized to different corners of the screen, would be the parts of the world that are left out during these timelapses. Basically, one would be the New World and the other Oceania.
    The windows would be small enough to not cover what's going on in Eurasia, but big enough that a viewer could roughly follow what's going on in that part of the map.
    You could even replace the main Eurasia window with the others, temporarily making Eurasia it's own side window, if the action picks up in that part of the map.
