Why observer games are grrrrreat!
Hi! Did you know that one of the more entertaining things you can do with EU4 is run it while you're away from your computer? I know, right? And here you've been wasting your time playing the game, like a big chump. Heh!
When you aren't driving the car, you never really know what's going to happen through the magic of unintended design consequences, random bugs, plain freak accidents and just AIs being AIs. Players tend to have a certain stable influence on the game's development, but what happens when we're not around? What will that crazy old AI think of next? Who will the RNG gods elevate, and who will fall?
Give it a try!
Okay, zodium, fine, I'll do it. Whatever, just shut up. How do I?
I'm glad you asked. All you have to do is
This will create non-overlapping autosaves every 1200 months, or 100 years. Then,
That's it. Post your highlights here! If it catches on I'll try to link to some particularly funny or exceptional worlds beneath.
Rules and Guidelines
Highlights
To get on the Highlights, your image has to be nominated by someone other than you, and that nomination has to be backed up by two other people (also not you). Three independent nominations also work, whatever, it's a forum thread.

I'm glad you asked. All you have to do is
- Open your settings file in \My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\settings.txt
- Add the line debug_saves=1200
This will create non-overlapping autosaves every 1200 months, or 100 years. Then,
- Start up a regular non-ironman game
- Open the console with ` and run the command ...
- observe
- and unpause, then let 'er rip!
- Go have a beer with some friends or something.
That's it. Post your highlights here! If it catches on I'll try to link to some particularly funny or exceptional worlds beneath.
