We have countries in 4 tiers, when it comes to attention in the EU4 development process. This is for DHE, decisions, missions and (unannounced features and mechanics).
Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3
All of these are interesting countries to play.. While Eu2 at most had 2-3 events for these countries, we aim for far more, to bring them closer to what tier 1 and tier 2 countries could expect.
- Tier 1 - 8 countries (flavour and fun, behaviour vital for game progress)
- Tier 2 - 9 countries. (flavour and fun, behaviour important for game progress)
- Tier 3 - 16+ countries (flavour and fun, behaviour not vital for game progress)
- Tier 4 - the others.... where the minimum flavour level is EU3+EU2.
Tier 1
- England - Arguably the winner of the time period.
- France - Big blue blob is a must here, no game is complete without a strong France dictating western Europe.
- Ottoman Empire - the major complaints on EU3 was the fact that they didn't become the historical threat they were.
- Castille/Spain - We all want a big Spanish colonial empire on the map.
- Muscowy/Russia - another failure of EU3 was that russia didnt form often enough, and you ended up with a fractured east.
- Sweden - Swedish agression is what shapes the northeastern quarter of europe.
- Portugal - in history and with our new trade system, their impact in the first 2 centuries changed europe forever.
- Austria - The central european player that affected half of europe.
