Europa Universalis IV: Wealth of Nations – Dev diary 7: Free Features #1

[Maximonium]

Hmmm, a new nation from Johan's favorite horde and another achievement for them. Odd all things considering that even the staff agrees that hordes are just utterly terrible in their current state.

Could we finally be seeing some long overdue hauls featured in the other dev diary for this week?

 

[Wagonlitz]

As for 1: a lot of countries are very easy to form (Scandinavia as Denmark is basicly not losing the PU, it's just a diplomat to get the relation high)

Which you will never do though, since you get an ugly flag; furthermore its colour is almost the same as Sweden's, so in some sense you are converting Denmark to Sweden - which just is wrong on all levels.

 

[Te. Kenzo]

I like formable nations, but.....
1. To form Kurland, you just tech up as LO, or take 2 provinces as Riga and change to Protestantism.
2. To form Egypt, you just sit there and tech up.....
3. To form the last one, you can only do it as the Uzbeks, and you lose some land in the process.

I do appreciate the hard work from PDS, but can we have nations that are more of a challenge to form? Maybe think outside of the box and make a formable nation that was ''historically accurate'', but maybe have one that was feasible at the time.

Some nations are not a challange, are there only to rapresent the historical change
They are not a proper stepfoward, are only another tag, with some flavour change

"Bukhara - Can be formed after 1500 by the Uzbeks if they own Bukhara., which releases Sibir as independent and makes Bukhara high basetax, and swaps you to a muslim techgroup nation."

Does Uzbek->Bukhara means we keep Horde ideas? Or Bukhara means you get generic ideas?

 

[IIWW]

Of course I do, Scandinavia is a cultural union! no penalties for "accepted culter" in whole Scandinavia, thats more important than a flag, which can be changed using Ironman compatible mode.

Extra hard mode: Try to get achievement 3, 7 and 9 in the same game.

What does this even mean?...

 

[Tzeentch_]

What does this even mean?...

It's what our superstitious parents say when they want good luck concerning a statement they just said. Grabbing your penis doesn't count apparently.

So what he means is "The expansion will be released end of May unless something tragic happens and the Paradox office burns down." Or whatever.

 

[Kansai-kun]

Shame there's no achievement for conquering the world as a Sikh - like "You're making me Sikh" or something.

 

[Ephafn]

Shame there's no achievement for conquering the world as a Sikh - like "You're making me Sikh" or something.

Such an achievement name should be reserved to converting half the world to Sikhism.

Inflation is only a number - Own 10 provinces producing gold.

 

[V1ribus]

[*]A Pile of Gold - Own 10 provinces producing gold.

Do I need to directly own these 10 provinces or can my Colonial nations own them to count?

 

[Toaster_Dust]

Will any new or existing religions be getting special religion mechanics? Ibadi will probably get fervor but what can we expect for the rest? And will it be DLC only like fervor for Reformed?

 

[RadRussian]

Achievements look meh-ish. I'll make it my personal challenge to complete them all in 2 games (I'm assuming you can form Netherlands as Kilwa after you culture shift).

 

[Scotsman_01]

Inflation is only a number - Own 10 provinces producing gold.

This really should be the name! DDR needs to get some love for his madness.

 

[Thund91]

Hardest achievement to get ever - "the princess is in this castle"

I don't think this has happened to me more then once in my hundreds of hours of playing lol

 

[neondt]

Cool stuff. Now that Sikhism is in vanilla I'll re-make my Sikh mod, making it focus more on the Sikh Empire and maybe filling any obvious flavour omissions with events and decisions. I haven't updated it in far too long. I suppose I'll also need to spend 5 minutes adjusting Conquest of Australia (which thankfully remains entirely relevant) for the new colonial region too.

"Je Maintiendrai"

Nice

 

[crazy sam10]

[*]Je Maintiendrai - Form Netherlands as dutch culture minor dutch culture minor)

If you already have an Ironman game where you've done this, will you have to do it again? Or wil it automatically pop upon loading up? I'd hate to have to redo it.
