Can we stop with the map complaints?

EUIV is probably the only PDOX title many people with vanilla, largely because of ironman

A significant majority of players for all our games play vanilla. EU4 would probably have the highest mod attachment rate if it wasn't for GoT.

Really? I seemed to recall EU III and Vicky 2 being played predominately with mods (especially vicky 2), but maybe that's confirmation bias.

It's easy to get that impression from the forums, but what people don't realize is that the vast, vast majority of our players have never been on the forums. Mod popularity took off massively with Steam Workshop precisely because previously you'd have to find the forums to download and install mods.

Do Devs play mods?

I don't play EU4 mods, but I do play Elder Kings and GoT for CK2. Can't speak for anyone else.

Holy crap they had pop in EU2 and I keep hearing an EU game can't have pop so what gives. Can't we just ditch this bloody much maligned base tax and bring back actual numbers?
...I know they won't but I kinda just wanted to say it.

Don't know about EUII, but population in EUIII was terrible and I'm glad it's gone.

Do Devs play mods?

Some devs started out as modders.

EU2, but mostly the same thing.

And yet screenshots like these is what got some of us interested in the game back in the day
