So it is not 1356?
Ludi, have you booked your ticket to Barcelona?
Because you have to do 100 push ups at Tinto HQ. :D
Also, Johan confirmed that the peace deals will be on a “location scale” meaning that you can conquer locations the whole game unlike the vicky 3 system
I thing is going to be year 1333
@@jorgitheforth109 dog they already confirmed it’s April 1st 1337, homie is behind the information loop
Hi.
i like how Ludi started from "Boys and girl" like he literally knows that the only woman who can watch this channel is his wife.
yup
@@LudietHistoriai watch all your vids
Exactly!!!❤
Nice pfp bro
@@purpleemperor8554 thanks, bro.
can't wait to see ludi's eu5 "Playing TALL as BYZANTIUM is OVERPOWERED!"
And yet despite playing tall, we have ended up with Roman Empire borders! How did THAT happen LUDI?!
"Boys and girl" probably accurately sums up the demographic for this channel and PDX games in general
yes
Feels good to be represented :3

exactly what i was going to say
@@ilary7073lies
the Anatolia map still has byzantine city of Philadelphia still standing, which is amazing detail
go birds
Greek Philadelphia born and raised,
In the Byzantine courts I spent most of my days...
I really hope they set the end date to the 1800s and make the game scale super well into the late game so we can enjoy 500 years of EU without abandoning every single campaign after 100 years
It will likley take a few years for the game to be on that level, but I am looking forward to it :D
I think working on the decadence system introduced for the Ottomans can help make the game more challenging and fun with ups and downs
@@_sky_3123you mean decade
Would work if they rework coalitions and aggressive expansion such as a French country owning territory in the UK, HRE, or Iberia turns everyone in that region/culture against you. Would make coalitions more fluid to something like Napoleon too.
There's a point in every game where every country is too chicken shit to attack you so you can pick and choose your wars with ease without an actual 'rival' intervening or balance of power event to have a checks and balances.
Alternatively, this would reach 1700s and MotE 2 would cover 1700s-victoria III
it would be so nice to have civil wars and rebellions be more interactive and important, where if a pretender rises maybe he can be supported by another country etc. and as if he wins battles or sieges forts more of the country declares for him... rebellions in general should be way more important.
What worries me is if another country attacks your rebels and conquers their territory before you can defeat the rebels. That would feel a little bit unfair if done TO the player and exploit-y if done BY the player
It could be solved if the only interactions you can have with somebody's rebels is to either support them, or fight them to help the country fighting against them
@@Maus_Indahaus or that declaring an annexation war would automatically declare war on both rebels and usual faction. Giving the rebels and country a truce for the duration of the war and counting them as a single entity during the peace deal.
That would be awesome!!!
Well this system kinda exists in Imperator Rome and since EU5 is a mix between I:R and EU4 I think it can be a possibility
yes I think this should kind of act like the "family" of Crusader Kings without all the bloat. I don't think it should be micromanaged but act as historical examples of events happening like early protestants (hussites, heretical), protestants, historical civil wars, historical rebellions, etcetera. The current rebellion system in EU4 feels little different than the rebels in Medieval 2 Total War as just fighters without a flag. This could give a new element too of funding rebels in a war or something, possibly being able to recruit AI rebels at the start of a war.
"Crown privileges" somehow has vibe of that "obama giving himself a medal" meme image
Edit: but now that I think of it I guess it makes sense of things like"English monarchs need permission from parliament for certain taxes"
If anything that would be a privillage given to faction... I could see, when nobles get enough of those:
"no new XXX without parliament agreeing" to go into switching into republic gov type, or... like it was in PL Commonwealth case... into Elective Monarchy
24:43 Padishah as a title was actually not used until Mehmed II the Conqueror, because Padishah is the equivalent of Emperor in the Ottomans. There is a reason Orhan was a 'Ghazi', he was a warlord, not even a Sultan, yet. In his later years he styled himself Sultan and the Ottoman Beylik truly became the Ottoman Sultanate during his heir, Murad I Hüdavendigar's reign. Not until the capture of Constantinople and Murad I's grandson's grandson Mehmed II Fatih styled himself Kayser-î Rûm 'Caesar of Rome' did the Sultanate truly became the Ottoman Empire.
Two things
I want crown privileges and
I want colors to be more vibrant and colors to somehow feel more full because right now they look a little pale
just give 2, 3 esthetic options. Shouldnt be too hard to put in right? I kind of like the old yellow map vibe of the current one
Something that can be inferred from the inclusion of the black death being in the game is that small pox will also be simulated ravaging the new world when the old world arrives.
As a Bulgarian , I am so glad I get to finally play with my native country without having to release it. Hopefully we get a nice big mission tree. Excited af.
I'll not revive Basil II just to be nice.

I don't know if this is a hot take or whatnot, but leaving mana points out of eu5 I think it's a good decision because that means your actions are more chronologically oriented rather than trying to cheese or wait for mana points to do stuff.
The alternative to this would be they make a separate gamemode based on the mana point system but then they would have to balance stuff around a lot more so I seriously doubt it
There is a balance to be targeted. Imperator Rome reduced the instant impact mana abilities compared to the release version, but that made the game slower and more boring. It reduced felt player agency. Too many instant abilities makes a game more like a boardgame/cardgame. Too few instant abilities make the game sluggish and passive like a sim.
I for one liked the EU4 method more than the Imperator Rome one.
Well they tried this in Imperator but the people didn't like it so they ended up adding mana
I don't really know. Mana was a way to overcome the odds with good management. If you remove it you'll need other options to make stuff like small city states playable. If said options are always available it could prove worse than the mana system. Take population for example, in EU4 you could use your dump military mana to develop manpower, it was a simple system the game developers could control to some extent by adjusting mana rewards and expenses, while in CK3 you had the development option for the Steward, you could simply set him to work on a county from start to the end of the game and have the largest city in the world in the middle of Siberia.
In EU4 you actually sacrifice something (rebel suppression, tech, money on expensive advisor etc) to gain more in the future while in CK3 it is basically a free "fire and forget" method to become richest nation in the world. Seeing how population will be a major part of the game I can already see issues with replacing limited resources that affect population with stuff like policies. With player knowledge you can just turtle up, take all the population boosting decisions and limit your wars and devestation (or equivalent in EU5) for the first 200 years while the ai keeps banging his head against it's neighbors than just switch to blobbing and release the hordes.
I read the "Allows Peasants to Migrate" as also them being able to go from one province to another and not being locked down in place like they would have been at the time.
So if you have them able to move around you may see some provinces loosing population if for example there is high influence of Nobility estate there and they opress the Peasants, and so there are fewer people working the land there and that province is producing less goods. That's at least how I see it possibly working on top of them being able to go to another country if your country sucks to live in, so we may also see waves of migrations to the new world collonies following wars and famines on the continent, like we saw in real life.
It's really interesting that this will have to play out with the Black Death
This emancipation movements in Europe came with the brutal dwindling of peasant populations, forcing lords to treat their peasants better lest they flee to greener pasturee, where better work is offeree
34:40 I do believe that in a previous dev diary Johan say that the provinces works as in Imperator where you can have locations instead of the whole province.
Split provinces like in vic3 is a good comparison too
Paradox in a few months:
We would like to announce our new game: Emperator rome 2!(project ceasar)
The game is going to be an official MEIOU and Taxes implementation and I love it
Hell yeah brother ❤
I hope the estates start with baked in privileges that cause corruption - one of the challenges in the early modern period is the state removing some of those older priviliges to create a more effective state…
Could someone explain what MEIOU and Texas implementation mean?
@@derdude6214 it’s one of the big overhaul mods of EU4. Great ideas, but fair to say that it tried to change the base game so much it was very clunky (poor UI and fell over A LOT). But it was population driven and a much harder game. If EU5 is drawing ideas from it (and it sounds like it’s got some of the modding team), that’s really promising.
@@matthewross6045tbh I can’t play eu4 without that mod seeing my core provinces develop naturally and population grow is euphoric
You forgot about Poland just being established by Ladislaus Elbow-high coronated in 1320, he dies in 1333 and his son Casimir (future Casimir the Great) takes over the young Polish kingdom. He is know in history as the king who found Poland wooden and left stone because of how many castles he built. He was also waging successful wars for Galichia-Volhynia against Lithuania and incorporate huge part of Ruthenia into the Crown.
Ludi know history about Romania XD
Ludi, I have a cool idea for EU5 and I want to hear your opinion. I made a comment on Tinto Talks 5 too. Here it is:
I have an idea for something I would love to see in this game, which I have not seen done well anywhere before. I have 1500+ hours in EU4 and I find it silly that my nation is willing to fight just as hard on the offense as on the defense, for a cleansing of heresy as for a trade conflict, or against the one province minor next to me or the entirety of Europe in a coalition war. I want to introduce the ideas of War Expectations and Existential Threat.
Existential Threat:
Existential Threat should produce bonuses for defending countries. Nations should generally fight harder on the defense than on the offense. As an example, in the systems used in EU4 this could manifest in more manpower recovery speed [from a pop more willing to enlist], lower army maintenance [from a pop willing to be paid less to defend their homeland], or even higher supply limit [from a pop more willing to share with local soldiers]. But different war goals will also differently effect the willingness of the population to fight. A population may not be as enthusiastic in its defense of the conquest of a province of a non-accepted culture group whose pops aren't in the cabinet/leadership of the nation. Meanwhile, a theocracy with a powerful Clergy estate may have a population that regards a "cleansing of heresy" CB as an existential threat, allowing rapid mobilization. In another scenario, the population of a country with a nobility estate at odds with its peasantry/countrymen may regard an attack from a member of the same culture group as more of a "change of management" rather than an existential threat to its existence. I think that defenders should always get some bonus, nations when attacked often rally to the flag, but the degree of this bonus should be modified by the attitudes of the population towards their government, the CB, the opposing nation's culture/religion, etc. There is historical precedent for the perception of existential threat being important to defenders, just look at Ukraine for a modern example.
Existential Threat perception also provides a fantastic opportunity to tie in with Aggressive Expansion. In EU4, AE either matters a lot (Ottomans join your coalition with -51 AE) or not at all (Ottomans don't join your coalition at -49 AE). Players who aggressively expand accumulate much more AE, which would bump up the existential threat calculation of defenders. This provides a mechanism to slow down the feed-forward loop of conquest and expansion. This could be supplemented by feeding in other systems, like making it so taking non-claimed land in a peace deal gives more AE (in addition to current rules about co-belligerents), or how taking land from a nation's primary or accepted cultures dramatically increases their threat perception of your nation in future conflicts.
War Expectations:
Whereas existential threat perception is mainly about buffing the defenders, war expectations can provide a scaling debuff to the attackers over time. There have been many times when more powerful nations have considered the act of enforcing their will on a weaker neighbour to be a "mere matter of marching". Whether it was the Americans in the War of 1812, or again Russia in its war on Ukraine. I would like to see the rate at which a "call for peace"-like mechanic accrues to be far greater when declaring war on a tiny nation than when fighting giga Spain. Pops would reasonably have different expectations of how these two conflicts should progress. This also creates an opportunity for skill expression, as experienced players are able to fight wars more efficiently and more in line with the expectations of their populations, thus suffering fewer of the penalties of a call-for-peace-type mechanic.
Playing into other systems:
I think that the twin systems of Existential Threat and War Expectations would increase the immersion of players into the game. Pops would feel like real things that have opinions based on their values and what matters to them (culture, religion, nationalism, etc.). The added benefit is that rapid expansion would become more challenging, especially as players accumulate AE, slowing down snowballing and extending the interesting part of the game. Obviously this system would need to be tuned so that, no matter how threatening the two province minor on your border considers you to be, you can still crush them when you control the whole subcontinent, I'm not suggesting that every war should become the defense of Helm's deep. However, this system would provide interesting opportunities for players to make strategic decisions about which CBs they use against which nations, or which provinces they take in a peace deal. Furthermore, you could give players tools to mitigate their perceived threat level. Maybe if you keep your peasantry super happy, when you invade a country where the peasantry is powerful but unhappy then the defenders get fewer bonuses because actually their peasants are convinced they'd be better off if you won. Threat level could even play into a nations' willingness to sign peace. I don't think threat level should affect warscore costs, but to use the EU4 analogy, it should affect the time until a combatant flips to 'low' attitude and is willing to give you 20 more warscore worth of land than you have actually earned.
Anyway, I think these systems would add to the realism of the game and fill a void that exists in EU4 where going to war is completely disconnected from what your people or your enemies' people think of you and your nation and want for themselves and their country. In EU4, war is completely a top-down decision, and all wars are the same, simply being modified by "75% cost" or "25% AE" for a reconquest. In EU "Project Ceasar", where it seems that the devs are trying to make the wishes of the population manifest throughout the games systems, I would like to see systems like what I have described integrated into warfare beyond the simple ability to levy troops, which is all that has been mentioned thus far.
Like War support in hoi4 ?
I hope anatolia works like a battle royale basically. Everyone with cores on basically everyone else.
I'm waitiing for an update on Greenlanders. I really like that angle on exploration. Maybe there will be a disaster event chain and if you survive, you can reestablish connection to Europe then start colonizing with help (population) from other Nordic countries.
I’m not a modder, but in addition to great DLC the modding community really gave longevity to EU4, which looped back into the original game (the people who worked on voltaires nightmare, flavour and M&T did an incredible job). It’d be interesting to hear how paradox are going to build a great platform for modders, how they want to interact with the community etc.
Being able to stack up modifiers is one of the thing that drives gameplay, makes you want to try small nation that have unique bonuses to try to abuse the mechanic, and it also drives content video from streamers. I will be very sad if there's no more stacking of any kind.
I think their might be a substitute for thus for smaller nations, I hope because I plan to play as sicily. But it must be because bigger nations really abuse that power in eu4
Dude its too unrealistic for my video game 💯😡💔🥶👺
I would love to see crown/state privileges, representing the bureaucracy which would allow the game to model the growth of the state. Big fan :)
16:20 To touch on the 'Free mobility for Peasants' part. Commoners in most countries used to not be allowed to travel at all. From what I remember you couldn't travel through the Austrian Empire freely as an Austrian commoner until somwhere in the 1700s. The feudal system back then expected you to live and die in the town you were born at. I think this privilege touches on that. This also explains why the Nobility realllyy hates this privilege (more freedom to choose -> more expectations of good governance).
Yea I was gonna comment on this too lel keep the serfs on their turf
100% and post Black Death with labour scarcity, that internal migration point became a real point of conflict.
Brandenburg to Prussia and Germany would not be that easy in 1337 as Brandenburg was a junior partner under Bavaria and had lots of internal fighting and didn‘t have a good administration. The Brandenburg-experience will be completely changed and much harder.
I don't mind playing for several houndred years. But *only* if they manage to improve on the late game performance. I don't want to be stuck at speed 2 for 200 years. This is one of my biggest fears, I really hope they make it manageable even for mid PCs and decent Laptops.
Apart from that I hope that there'll be enough content at release. At least as much as eu4 has now with all dlc's, so that it's worth switching.
I imagine it’ll be about as taxing as vic3 which isn’t bad at all
Eu4 had memory leaks and is 12 years old so eu5 will probably be better
@@jones877 no, as eu5 will have way better graphics it will no doubt be much more demanding on your system
@@cadenibz Graphics are not the problem and never were. I doubt that eu5 will even come anywhere close to AAA games from 2020 when it comes to GPU usage. The CPU on the other hand... They'll need some smart coding if they want to make it playable on most devices
@@Smurez
Norway controls Greenland and Iceland. Also before the black death Norway was pretty strong and on the offensive against Denmark for the control of Skåne.
I think a lot of people misunderstand the relative strengths of the Three Kingdoms of Scandinavia in the High to Late medieval period.
Norway was probably stronger than the other three overall although technically it's in a personal union under Sweden at the time and Denmark is a complete mess after its wars with the Hansa.
That one purple bit between Aydın and germiyanids is actually part of the east roman empire. It is now located on Denizli/Pamukkale.
With how many really small tags are around just in the screenshot with anatolia and the balkans, I really wonder how the HRE will look like, if there are going to be more free imperial cities. Same for the italian peninsula
I never use the forums but i definitely want to see crown privileges. Lots of flavor and mechanical depth there. The first thought that comes to my mind is they can be used to tyrannical or benevolent rulers.
Amazing how passionate you are about this Ludi! Love your videos, cant wait to watch you play EU5 also
Love the content. I seriously hope the next dev diary shows that a naval strat is actually worth your time.
The modifier stacking is super fun. Changing country tags is a big part of the game.
Dynamic units. Being able to choose heavy / light / skirmisher corps in your army like Imperator would be awesome.
Ufff, I really hope not, else we'll just see elephants go brr again. These systems always push a meta that sucks the fun out of the idea.
@@SireBab Fair point. I suppose I just like the idea of even more customization and roleplay aspects.
Given how we're playing with levvie systems this time around I assume we will be having more fleshed out standing armies compared to EU4, and more akin to Imperator. Johan said Imperator was basically an experiment and passion project so I hope they are gonna imput all the lessons they learned in Imperator in EU5
@@SilverWindDub agree! The current click to upgrade to the latest units doesn’t have enough flavour. Giving us a choice, and option to make strategic decisions would be great.
It would be cool to have option to enact powerful laws/privileges that help in short term but are difficult to revoke and come to haunt far later on. i like how in eu4 at the start date in some tags there are a lot of horrible debuffs from estate privileges that have to be rooted fast to fix the country. if there was a way to enact similar things in eu5 while getting short term buffs it would be amazing. those things would be a way to survive immediate threats but in return they would develop into problems of their own later on.
LUDI, please take a look at meiou and taxes 3.0, they are practically making eu5 as a m&t 4.0
if you know m&t you already know where all these "new mechanics" are coming from, especially pop types, pop investment, reforms, levies system based on estates, trade being a flow of goods, all of it, please check it out!!!
if you know m&t you already probably know what the next mechanic annoucements will be!!! (so its advantageus for you to check it out)
its literally the best mod ive ever seen, in any game.
love from Brazil ludi
Pleeese make a video on how trade works in this mod, I GUARANTEE you it will be the same in Eu5, specially after the tips Johan gave us
I like the new "Proximity" concept. It permits a passive-aggressive play style!
Building a marketplace in a city, has an effect on nearby locations, including foreign locations. Building a cathedral or a mosque brings pilgrims from nearby locations, transferring money, and strengthening your faith in nearby foreign locations,... If Paradox can make this without performance issues I would be very happy.
Its 5:30 a.m in Mexico Ludi, I should be sleeping, now let’s wait another 30 minutes 🫡
get some sleep bro xD
The 30minutes has passed
Waking up right now, couldnt watch more than five minutes before getting asleep 😂
As far as owning individual provinces and locations, Johan has confirmed in the forum that you can indeed take individual locations in peace deals. As a map painting enjoyer, being able to get so minute with the borders is going to be so fun!
One of the things I love about eu4 is the flavour you get, making other countries completely unique. I really want to see a lot of good unique flavour in eu5 (like the example you gave about the earthquake in Byzantium)
Hey Ludi great video as always, I’m super up to date on all the juicy eu5 stuff. Just figured I’d let you know that Johan confirmed it will at minimum go to 1789. He posted this as a comment one of the tinto talks if you need proof. And yes 1836 would be a perfect year to end the game!
Thinking about the last Tinto talk I wonder if this game will have a government in exile system similar to HOI4? The last one seemed to imply that countries without land could exist so maybe the game does not end after all of your provinces have been annexed.
Equally could be interesting dynastic politics e.g. France could pay to maintain the Stuart dynasty in their court if the English threw them out after a civil war.
I really like that there are mechanics from Imperator making their way in. IR got done so dirty and I could never get myself deep into EU4 on account of how dry and dense it feels, so I'm glad to see some of IRs state-building ideas being carried over into other games.
Honestly kind of surprised how much they've pulled from meiou and taxes, especially with regard to estates. I know they hired one of the devs (aldaron) and all, but I'm still happy to see it. Levies from estates, probably also tax from them too.
It would be really interesting to see flavour for Lithuania during this time period, seeing as it was around here that they started expanding like crazy. Also, the fights with the Teutons were a very big deal.
Ludi et EU5!!!!! Hype!!!!
Johan also replied to one of the question regards when we will learn more about food production: "Sometime after the summer". Meaning that the game release is earliest in the autumn, and probably later, as the dev diaries covering the game mechanics will be ongoin in the autumn. Not a surprise but still, an info.
Damn video released 5 seconds ago
For me 1 minute ago 😂😂
That is factually incorrect, the video released a day ago.

I wish Lubi had stolen my wallet, but instead he ended up stealing my heaer😭
Yes for Crown Previleges, but maybe something that could affects the estates equilibrium in some ways
New ludi video sheeesh
I'm really glad they're adding features from meiou and taxes I loved that mod especially the pop system
So I think modifier stacking should be in game option where you can turn them on and off (only with turned off you can get Iron man mode and achievements). Hope estate system doesn’t ruin game like cultural groups did with vic3.
35:00 I think the language you're looking for is the ability to own locations within a province, without having to own all the locations of a province.
This is possible in Imperator Rome as well (though often you conquer the whole province) you can for example decide to only take 3-4 locations in a province if you can't manage to capture the province capital.
I'm just glad that many of the elements from MEIOU & Taxes are going to be in EU5
I hope they give a later start date like around 1700s. There's SOOOO many huge wars in the 1700s- early 1800s, but it's too boring to wait 300 years in EU4 to get there. Now 400 in EU5
Hey Ludi i think a good idea could be having a specific map of the world "as It was mapped" for each country adjusted with the timeline of the game, not the gameplay map but, i guess, when u scroll down to see the whole world, maybe will appear a venetian map of the 1345. I think a game like this masterpiece can become more historical with this kind of flavor
I like the idea that buffs don't stack, as long as there are plenty of different options for how to get each buff. That way it stops some nations becoming massively powerful (eg Swedish space marines) while also, hopefully, reduce the playstyle of always taking the same handful of idea groups.
I would love to see crown policies.
More 1337 history pls, im hyped
Would be cool if the estate and advisor/cabinet system interacted with each other. The more influence from a certain faction pushes more of their experts (or not experts) into your cabinet. Getting rid of the bad ones could be a fun mini game. Maybe not balancing your cabinet based on influence would impact your equilibrium.
1356 the "Hanse" got founded. Hope they add hanse as a "country with no land" mission/archiement, short term goal, which you can aim as HRE minor to boost yourself over the burgers, when you get nobility low enough as estate.
Cant wait for the modifier stacking mod when it comes out
34:45 since those little islands are their own provinces, you could possibly have a custom pirate faction rule them, or buccaneers for a larger empire.
Crown privileges are a must in my mind, they are historically importsnt and represent the push-pull dynamic of power between crown and nobles
BOYS AND *GIRL* I GOT A SHOUT OUT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 /hj
Since it's the last chance, might as well drop my ideas in a very brief format (i'm not a super pro player so some things may not make sense):
1. Supply lines and supply depots. The further away your army gets from your provinces (where you build military depots) the harder it is to keep supplied. It needs to survive off of the land and also an enemy army may disrupt the supply lines by harrassing the supply trains or occupying the provinces with depots.
2. Inaccurate information on the ledger based on your spy network equivalent. The smaller your spy network is with a country the less accurate the information about it in the ledger will be. Those were not 10k soldiers, they were actually 50k!
3. Mercenary companies can be turned mid-war by paying them more than the current employer. Here culture could play a role, maybe mercenaries from your culture will turn only if paid vastly more money by your enemies, instead merenaries from unaccepted cultures will do it at a much lesser cost.
I think that the estates should be able to have something like a national focus function to it. Where you will be able to cater too/pay extra attention to 1 or 2 different estates. Where you can choose to either increase loyalty or influence or decrease it. It can be simulated by the king just favoring said parties on a daily basis. One can have prime priority the other can be secondary and be less effective.
I think this will be a good mechanic to give some more direct control for the player to go in a certain direction/counteract too powerful estates.
When I first played Imperator years back I was stunned by the pops system cos I'd never seen anything like it before. Although it isn't used there anywhere near to full capacity, you could see the power that level of granularity could have on every aspect of a game if you took that as your starting point and connected all the game systems and mechanics around it. I'm genuinely thrilled to see Johan working on this project because this really will be the game where that happens.
EUV in 2035 after all the dlc will be a thing to behold if they do this right.
I think it sounds awesome and I hope you can now go for the peace -strategy where you keep your people alive and avoid war in order to have a larger population in the future. Gold for roleplay.
So basically Ludi is reading the tutorial for EU5 before the game comes out.
Like I told before, Imperator Rome is the pre-alpha stage of EU5. A sandbox, playground for devs.
CK3 was the polished pre-renaissance for EU5 so that two can play together with save game compab.
Call me Crazy, i like the abuse part to stack alot of things, to go from an underdog to be a Great power with the planning of stacking modifiers.
However, its best to have an open mind and EU5 will probably be a complete different game and the underdog to Great power route will be a bigger achivement.
Thanks Ludi for your videos, i watch all your EU4/5 related vids, great work!
I liked modifier stacking but only in one field. If I want my country to focus on tall play, I liked stacking dev cost or if I play with Prussia I of course stacked Discipline and gov cap. I would want a mix where you can stack only one specific modifier and get debuffs for other things but it is what it is.
I want to see a sort of ck3 Iberian struggle inspired feature for the reformation
22:20 A little correction. In Turkish Nicaea is İznik, not İzmir. İzmir is Smyrna (in Greek) or Sugla province in EU4.
Great video! I'm super hyped already!
I wonder how the colonization of the Americas will work, because we will have more than 150 years till the start of the historical date. How easy will it be to rush the colonization as Castille?
I think crown privilages should be special rewards or something unique that gives flavor of some variety. Potentially something that changes the way you play the game or changes as you play.
I'm all for taking the best stuff from their other games and making EU5 that much better
I like the EU4 modifier stacking, but I wish it would be more difficult for more upper scales ( bigger countries) to conquer, expand or hold your empire from collapsing, making it more dynamic in the style of Crusader Kings were sucession can make your country split or be under another outta nowhere basically.
LudiPOG thumbnail!! LETS GOO!!!
in sieges there should be a middle ground between sitting and waiting and attacking with everything you have.
a type of aggressive siege
Maybe we will have a trade system like Imperator since it seems to borrow a few things from that game (food, population, conversion, pop migration/upgrading).
Thanks for video 🎉🎉🎉
Just in time for my lunch break lessgooooo
Cant wait for the "Surviving as Ruthenia" challange akin to burgundy in eu4
I really think that adding an extra hundred years or so to the game's timeline means sacrificing a lot in terms of midgame fun. With EU4, if you have a decent amount of experience, it can take the full game to fully complete a mission tree or set of goals, and there are things to do the entire time. It also still increases the probability that the endgame map will look nothing like the actual world over half the time. Having the option to defy history sounds fun, but I also just want to see recognizable timelines sometimes.
Bohemia gameplay will be something else in EU5 with Charles IV and the Hussite wars
They are adding meiou and taxes estate powers to EU5 baseline. Levies are a thing in m&t also, but only for greater and lesser nobles
I love this start date, I only played byzantium in EU4 so Ill love putting 1000 hours in this one as byz
My first game will be as Johannites securing the Ägäis. I am a little hyped.
I would like to see some changes in battle system to add some logistics to the battle... It's not like an "total war" game, but change the usual two line battle formation to something 2D shape (like an hexagon i.e.), to allow things like encirclement of regiments or make the flanking more realistic and more important like it was in the actual battles in the period....
For exemple... A battle in portuguese province of beja with attackers coming from algarve and evora being more effective than the same amout of soldiers coming only from evora
For no stacking modifiers, I would say maybe they could reduce the stacking cap.
Crown Privileges would be cool. Have it tied to government type, culture type, or even tied to different privileges given out to an estate.
Great Video !
I hope to see also the bureaucrat estate/class too.
Id love to see some more videos about the history of the start date focusing on different regions, like india, south east asia, china, japan, germany ect.
Im reallt excited to see how colonization works. Hopefully it isnt just "click blank tile, wait a few years, tile is now yours." I'd love to see a system where you're like, sending pops to native nations that cause events to pop up, simulating the more complex nature of colonization, land theft, etc. The way theyve already teased the ability to exert "control" over another tag's land makes me think this isnt so unlikely
Funny enough how Serbia during that time considered itself an empire rank :D i hope they put on all the great missions just like EU4 has. But i think they will just make game around dlcs which is sad since people would have to wait 15 years for all the good content
Add way more more historical events like "End of 1000 years repubicic in case of Venice/Merchant republics" etc...
I honestly cant wait for EU5. I might take few days of Vacation, once released :D
