“El Dorado” Expansion for Europa Universalis IV Lets You Go For Gold

[Xinkc]

Because of the union of Aragon and Castile to form Spain its railroad with an event called "Iberian Wedding".

You and I have a very different definition of railroad. An event that doesn't always happen due to conditions not being right and having a chance that the AI choose a different option (It's like 10% chance of rejecting the union, right? I know I just saw this recently on a Let's Play.) seems to miss the definition of a "railroaded event."

Anyways, so long as the AI has a moderate chance (5-20%) of choosing something different in an event like the Iberian Wedding I think things would be fine. Maybe that chance should be given throughout all more deterministic events with the chances of deviating from the more historical choice being greater depending on certain factors and time from campaign start.

The only real candidates I see to stop Muscovy are the hordes, but would Novgorod really turn to them as allies

In my 1.9 test game as Kazan just to check how hordes played now (last I played them was 1.7), I managed to actually do exactly that - get an alliance with Novgorod and catch Muscovy with a pincer. I think this was because I guaranteed Novgorod and improved relations, and then watched them lose their army. At that point, they were okay with allying me.

Hum... Are those ironman games(or the same settings, not like ironman has anything special in and of itself)? Because I have seen huge english CNs in just about anywhere except California and Alaska.

Most times wasnt ironman (because i didnt cared about achivements until recently). Yet in Ironman i have found they are even worse xD.

You dont get my point. My point is WHY Austria/France, Castille, Moscow, Poland, Ottomans have decisions, missions, events scripted to make them follow the historic path but England DOESNT.

I miss them dude :/... I miss an Europe contested by more than one or two powers (because to be honest, Spain most times fall destroyed by BBB and Austria too, Russia and PLC destroys each other and then its just East vs West BBB).

I mean, I can sympathize with that. I've argued that the Iberian Wedding should be more diverse(and should actually have Aragon as the PU leader anyways if they're a part of it. By the time Spain became a more unitary state it was on Ferdinard's deathbed and he ruled almost exclusively from Aragon IIRC).

Except that the devs deliberately made the formation of Spain not change your NIs, so if Aragon is the senior partner then it would be Aragon that forms Spain and thus you'd get a Spain geared up for galley spam and trade instead of a Spain geared up for colonization and fanatical Catholicism.

(Of course, there I'm talking about a hypothetical version of the "form spain" decisions that AI Aragon is actually allowed to take. The actual decisions that Paradox wrote are blocked for AI Aragon and Portugal, and even human Aragon and Portugal are blocked from taking the the "form Spain diplomatically" decision. Dear ghod that's horrible.)

The Inca religion and should be called Pacha and the the Aztec religion Teotl (I'm not sure what a good name for the mayan's religion should be though). There should be a way to remove the doom thing without converting to another religion. I know i don't own EU4, but I will and I would like to see things done right (I'm justing waiting to get a new laptop).

There is! Enact all five of your religion's reforms, get a Western Tech neighbour, and reform your government.

sorry i misunderstood what they were saying, I thought when it said reform that it was talking about converting. This doesn't seem too bad, I just hope the Inca's haven no such thing because they have few neighbors.

Few neighbors? Not at game start. Pachacuti's realm just started expanding from around Cuzco in 1438, just six years before game start. Expansion was rapid though.

Though I can't wait to see what they planned for the Inca. It's a different Empire entirely.

If you scorch burn Muscovy's manpower and then shatter/wipe them, Novgorod will pretty much always pile on, alliance or not, with "reconquest".

The rails aren't as firmly on-track as the Burgundy inheritance, but it's w/o question a railroaded event. It only cares about regency or different gender rulers. It doesn't care that Aragon has had land taken from it due to Castile attacks, or that Castile has lost 4-5 provinces to Aragon, and the Iberian wedding in the context of open hostility to the point of warfare + territory change isn't plausible, especially in the sense of the beaten nation taking the other's crown.

They've said that the Mayans and Incans will have a completely different religious system and way of reforming.

Are rebel stacks defeat lowering doom ?

Seeing revolts as opportunities to secure reserve of ''warm bread'' was apparently a somewhat common POV amongst Aztecs rulers.

''Oh, mighty tlaotani, the peasants of Xoxhimilco have again revolted''

''YES ! I had a new temple to inagurate !''

 

[wolffrnd]

Seems like a really awesome expansion. I think i will buy it.

Anyone else wonders if the Aztecs will have a ''staying power'' pass the 1500 ?

if you start in 1492 they don't have many. And I still think the religions should be Aztec=Teotl Inca=Pacha Maya=Mayan? i still don't know the right name for the Mayan religion

I thought you couldn't create a forum account with a name like that, I mean when creating it shouldn't it have said "User Name Not Allowed" or something and not allow him to create an account?

Occasionally things slip through. An admin has dealt with the name issue
