Looks like the AI might want to focus a bit more on absorbing OPM's, all of those independent provinces in Muscovy hurt my eyes. Also not the biggest fan of rump Portugal. Oh yeah, and Muscovy probably should have tried to eat the Baltic Coast. Unless there were some major coalitions against Muscovy they really should have been able to conquer the area if they tried.

The BBB is back baby! Paradox really should up the difficulty of doing anything in Africa. European presence in the area didn't really expand past scattered outposts and small bits of territory until well after the game ends. Make it possible to set up colonies (So you do get those occasional one or two provinces on the coast), but make them almost not worth the effort. The one exception to this would be the Cape, which is probably fine as is.

From what we can in the video see India looks pretty much untouched by Europeans. Not the best outcome (unless you're one of the Indian states).

A USA that sort of makes sense! Maybe in the future Paradox could add some dynamic colonial rebellion names (So Portuguese Brazil /=/ French Brazil /=/ English Brazil /=/ Moroccan Brazil). Miscmods did it in EU3, so I don't see why Paradox can't do it as a free content update or as some cheap DLC.

Poor, poor Italy.

The Incas are alive, which is a bit disappointing. I'd like to see the natives survive every once in a while, but I want that to wait till the natives get a comprehensive overhaul so survival is actually feasible.

Otherwise the game looks pretty good, looking forward to playing it!

Dat Norway. Always fun to see it gobble up the north like that. Surprised the AI managed to end the personal union though as I don't think I've seen that happen without player intervention before. Though that might just be my luck.

I must admit I'm disappointed to see we've regressed to seeing "Spain" and "Great Britain" plastered all over the Americas instead of the "British North America" and "Spanish Florida" designations I've grown used to from Vicky :sad:

one of the only things I dislike about the game

(they'll probably add it in a patch though, considering how almost no one likes it)

That literally hurt to watch. The Ottomans took all of Egypt but only took 1-3 provinces then the next war they took isolated provinces on the Red Sea. THEN they completely ignored the resurgent Byzantine Empire in Cyprus. Muscovy didn't hit Crimea or the Livonian Order. Americas looked nice (USA! USA!) but the Inca not being annexed is annoying.

But for all my grievances it is still FAR better than EUIII :)

WOW looks dynamic and fun but not too blobby and crazy

Notable events:

- Norway ending up winning in Scandinavia and colonizing
- a purple nation in the baltic states and Finalnd (Livonians?)
- Muscovy is scary (but still not able to conquer europe, nice balance there)
- napoleonic France slowly forming and pawning everyone
- huge colonial Spain! also spliting Italy with France
- Portugal moved to Morocco
- Ottomans pawned by Serbia, Najd and Georgia
- USA strong
- Poland surviving
- Austria and Brandeburg doing pretty good despite bad starts
- the Netherlands! but with no colonies?
- Trollhemia is back
- Scotland surviving with perfect borders! maybe a PU?
