Thought I'd say hi to the community as I've started playing EU4 today. I am planning to stay and help the community as much as I can as I learn EU4. Granted, it doesn't look like it's going to be easy. Also, I am not really sure where this message should go, so sorry if I misplace it.

Welcome! It's good to have you.
... but today was not a good day to start playing EU4.
This is like being born in Rome on the morning of August 24th 410 AD.

Feel free to ask for help if you need it about the game. It took me a long time to learn all those years ago and since then there are so many extra things to learn. The community is the best I've seen for helping each other, from strategies to basic mechanics, or even countries to play, people will always be happy to help and give advice.

my first failure was gathering too much aggressive expansion ( ae ) from wars -> that often leads to a big war coalition against you
be sure to have high land morale in the first 100y and high discipline in the last 100y
enjoy!

Welcome! you picked a bad week to join the community but Welcome anyway.
I'd recommend trying out Spain or the Ottomans they're good for people's first few sessions.... maybe France.

Thanks guys! Why was yesterday a bad day to join? As far as the game goes, I think I will go with the Ottomans. Neighboring country, which is also nice :)
If you get tired of the Ottomans, try Ireland, it is a good place for newb-friendly but more intense gameplay, because you have to manage England.

They just released an update (1.31) which is super broken at the moment. But if you wait a couple of weeks, it will probably be in a playable state.

In case you were thinking of it, I recommend you not try an ironman game at this time. Wait until more patches have been released and you see fewer angry complaints on the forum about people's saves being corrupted.

Hello mate... it's not *always* like this. It's just that Paradox broke the game two days ago.

Since no one has said it, I guess I will. I strongly recommend you roll back to patch 1.30* for a while. It should be more stable, and coming in for the first time, you won't know any difference in what 1.31 changed anyway.

*I have stayed on 1.30.4. Maybe somebody else can comment on whether 1.30.6 is worth using instead.
