how many of you are playing a non-european country.
The background of my question is that we got in the last time always asian DLCs. Normally I install all the newest DLCs but now I am not sure if these one are of any use for me.
Sadly unlike in former times there are no poll about our favorite nations here in that forum which I would like to see or better reactivate.
But perhaps PDX nows already which country we are playing what I doubt.

They've already stated that the majority of players is sitting in Europe, but this board doesn't represent that. We have a lot of ROTW players.

Others mostly play for achievements and have to play ROTW, whether they want to or not. Not that you have much of a choice when a requirement says you need to play a specific nation :D

I must say I am mostly stuck in Europe kind of player.
However I do go from time to time to play either in Japan, Ethiopia or Persia. I do enjoy those regions in the ROTW as my playstyle is to play "Historical" or "Plausible" Borders.

And those areas are the most interesting for me in single player as with Ethiopia you are always the underdog for most of the parts as you fight off against both Mamluks and Ottomans for your Holy sites, and Liberate your brothers of faith in Armenia. Similarly with Persian countries you can turn Zoroastrian or hole up in your mountains and watch the Ottoman invasions melt (until they hire 100+ mercenaries...) before you counter attack and push the Turks back, and Japan in general is fun early game with the Sengoku Jidai and late game is not too boring either with you fighting the endless horde of Chinese.

I've personally however only ever touched India a few times as the region in and of itself is relatively boring as once you get going around and get a decent foothold as one of the Indian nations nobody can stop you unless the Ottomans eat their way to greet you, as Historical Threats like English/European colonial powers never come knocking and Mughals never from to threaten you.

The only time I played in India was Orissa, and I only took over the Bengal trade node, started colonizing and let the rest of India fight it out themselves. :)

I tend to play in Europe (west of Poland), Middle East and India (ordered by decreeasing frequency). I rarely start games in Africa, the rest of Asia, and the new world, but it happens.I keep making plans for African games, but I always find some other campign more appealing for some reason.

Paradox is tracking loads of statistics from your games, not just which countries are being played.

and I think most of us do the same as well like you I am playing from time to time outside of Europe but at the end mostly in the field I am "at home" or "familiar".
But anyway we all are always supposing or imaging facts without any substantiell datas, a poll would clear it. That's my opinion!

Recent Reddit poll shows almost 70% of players prefer Europe with the rest being spread all over the world and India being the favorite region outside of Europe.

Thank you for that poll but as you know there had been only 1172 votes which had been created outside and not here in that forum with surely much more viewers and votes. It seems to me like these semiprofessionel polls we got always before elections. Pardon that was not a personnally statement:)

I (usually) just stick my finger some where in world map and try that country...

To be honest, it just don't end well very often, but I have fun.

5800 votes. Not 1172.

If anything that poll is a better approximation than anything what you could get from a poll on this board because Reddit represents the playerbase better.

The only thing better than that poll (which is also very recent) is getting data straight from Johan, but that's not gonna happen.

WHY? Is that a secret?

Nobody's stopping you from asking him. Just pretty sure the team has better things to do than datamining for public entertainment.

They do have that information available though. You can ask someone from the team if you're really interested.

Both of the last two major DLC (CoC and MoH) have plenty of global mechanics in them. I bought them both at release and am happy enough with them. They both gave me new toys to experiment with and I like that CoC gives you a way to play without using mercs even if mercspam is still more effective.

That said, the recent mechanics all do feel a bit like acquire currency, press button, get modifier. The Age bonuses are okay and they give you some things to keep in mind, some more short to medium term goals you can pursue. CoC's advisor promoting is huge if you are at all interested in powergaming.

If you're mostly interested in playing in Europe and playing in a more historical manner rather than serious map painting, then I'd say you can safely wait for a sale on both. MoH should reach 50% off in the next major sale.

I will say, I really hope we see some different game systems in the next DLC. If it's just another government type with 3 buttons another set of banners and a handful of new modifiers to some other game system that hasn't been refreshed for a while I'll be a little disappointed. I'll still buy it, but not enthusiastically.

If anything, I play more RoTW than Europe. I suppose if you count Muscovy and Ottos as "Europe", it might be a bit closer, but I tend to end up in ME a lot, with the occasional India or Africa.

The campaigns I actually play to 1821 are pretty much all RoTW.
