How do you know? You're not having more than 2 paradox games registered and both of them are HoI 2 related. Which means you don't own any other Pdox games.

Great demo. Too bad culture is a joke

This is a good point.
In fact, the Sahara desert is a much greater barrier then the Mediterranean Sea. Thus it would make sense to count North Africa as part of Europe, rather than Africa for this purpose.
You can convert all of the Balkans proper within the span of the demo.
This isn't even a well thought out example. Portugal can become Spain, which would give Castillian provinces no malice anyway, because of the union bonus. No, no, I'd rather just smash countries in other tech groups that don't seem to be capable of defending themselves against the lone military might of Portugal and blob up until I can start conquering countries like Naples. Please don't "whine" when you get annexed in MP in the first 25 years of the game. Thanks.
Don't worry.
I won't worry or whine when I get annexed in MP in the first 25 years of the game.
This exchange became a lot more fun when I realized who Jia Xu the multiplayer hero was arguing with. Peter Ebbesen sure is a newbie.
Kids these days...
As portugal culture/religion was very easy and no brainer.
As Ottoman I got about 650 score and I could barely convert half of the remaining starting religion to sunni. I was focusing on piety. Culture costing 120 per province and wanting to get to lvl 7 admin tech, I could only muster 3 culture flips during the demo. Even then I couldn't do everything I wanted to do. Only boosted stability once from -1. For me, the fact that I was limited is great and I was sad when game ended.
I can only imagine world conquest being hell with all the revolts and overextension everywhere. It certainly won't need a buff.

Core creation should be more expensive and take longer, religious conversion should be as expensive as a colony meaning large base tax provinces would be REALLY expensive to convert and culture conversion of a high base tax province should cost more or less like a tech.
Why does this always appear to be the case with almost every Paradox game?
Same. Also, +1 for needing missionaries for cultural conversions.
Here you put "objective reasoning" in quotes as if I had said that about my posts at any time. I'm done being polite about it. You are lying. The things you put into quotations about my posts just simply never happen. You are blatantly lying through your teeth in regard to the content of my posts because you refuse to address any point I make that you have no response to. The next time you do this, I'm going to politely request that you leave my nice topic. (<--- feel free to twist that into "Jia Xu has committed battery and assault against me!" if you like.) Other people in this topic have demonstrated the capacity to disagree with me without re-writing my posts. Learn from their good example. Don't take this the wrong way either. I don't want you to leave if you are still interested in discussing this, but your continual dishonesty about what I'm posting has to stop. Do not use quotation marks if you don't understand how to use them. Thank you for your consideration.
Great post. It would be even greater if it tried to address anything I said instead of just demonstrating your epic copy-pasting skills from the text files we all have access to now!
Have you ever fought a human run Super-Russia in EU3? It's not pretty and it requires the Russia player to stack manpower and force limits. Navy doesn't mean anything because at worse you have to deal with all five of your ports being blockaded. If you leave Super-Russia alone, then the player controlling it just rolls in every direction from Poland to China. The longer you leave it alone, the worse it gets. My last game was as the Ottomans and we needed all of the other human players (which was Austria, France, and Britain) to fight it on equal grounds. The 5.2 beta made is very painfully obvious that the country who runs out of man power first is going to be ruined when the peace deal arrives. You can go on believing that multiplayer is going to be won by the player who has the most temples, if you like. I'll stick to manpower, thank you very, very much.
And which of these were completely transformed over the course of even a few decades?
Conversion at the rate it occurs in EUIV is unrealistic. In my opinion we should be able to set policies toward various nationalities which have long-term effects, rather than using monarch points or agents. And we certainly shouldn't be able to convert as fast as we can now.
You mean like you did, when you accused Fjoelsvider of "personally" attacking you?
The most simple solution to the too-low culture cost appears to be; instead of marking provinces as "Overseas"... instead marking them by continent. And only having North and South America be 25% of the costs to convert.
That way, North Africa and Asia are realistically difficult to convert, while the (I expect) intended targets of easy conversion can be converted still.

How else would you describe a post which contains nothing other than shots at me? Do tell.
Maybe you should, because I see nothing consistent with a personal attack in that post.
He came into a topic just to insult me by calling me rude for defending myself against a guy who was blatantly lying about the content of my posts. When you come into a topic for no other reason than to insult someone, that constitutes a "personal attack" as far as I can see. Do you want to get on topic and talk about culture with me, or are you done here?
Well, when you say this:
It's not exactly a huge leap that you are under the assumption that you are using "objective reasoning" rather than "subjective view" since you call him out on his subjective view.
Never mind the following:
Never mind that you started off the snark with the title of this thread. On top of being rather condescending to a host of other people in this thread for their disagreement. And on that note, I can only say that I am objectively right in my assessment. Because it's never annoying when someone says that.
Oh, it absolutely is a huge leap. It's a leap from something that was simply never said to something that was. That's pretty huge from what I can see. He was attempting to convince me in my topic. Therefore I asked him to objectively make his case. That's it. Any secret message you take away from that is entirely the invention of one's imagination.
Why don't you try taking the "objectively right" statement and put it into context. You know, respond to something honesty.
