Howdy folks, it's been quite some time. Now, some of you may be wondering what happened to Gaul. And to that I say, eh, playing tall really isn't my thing, despite my efforts. And since it had been so many patches since I last picked it up, I figured I should let it stay buried. But instead, I got something that's even BETTER!
That's right, I accidentally dropped the map and all the countries shattered like a cheap vase! And with the Tinto Talks all but assuring me that EU4 is on its last legs, and therefore there won't be many patches, I figured it's safe to do a somewhat short AAR before the (fairly safely assumed) final DLC drops, and then one last huzzah after.
With all that said, I do have a few regions in mind that could be interesting to play around in, and would love to hear any suggestions that might sway me one way or the other. All nations will have their rulers randomly decided at game start, aside from the non-released nations. So it's a real luck of the draw for them, nothing in that regard will exist to sway me one way or the other!
First, of course, is the Chinese Thunderdome, and the areas around it. I don't think I need to elaborate as to why this would be fun.
Second is East Africa! Lot of variety here, and I do remember there was some clamoring for a Siemen run last time I did this. But that was then, and this is now, so maybe the winds have shifted there.
Last is Eastern Europe, sans the Balkans. Similar to China, there's a lot of tags around that would make it into a bit of a thunderdome, but it's also in Europe. So there's a lot of meddling I could do, or I could just end up treating it like most any Russia game.
These are my top three, let me know what you think. Or if you have a different region in mind, let me know and I'll give it a look-see before I get to playing in about a week or so!
