I was only able to play the demo for 10 minutes before I had to leave for work, but it was very easy to get an alliance with Austria.
EU4 is great...played as portugal till 1520 and it was awesome...colonizing,converting...almost got to India too.So far what i saw on mainland Europe looked pretty good...no crazy mega-wars all the time.
Game was stable,no problem with bugs in-game.(except tutorial and when I quit game crashed)
In the end its just nicer,better EU.

I played 20 years with Ottomans so far.
Almost everything is pro, but missionaries and religion.
I found definitely too easy to convert infidels (it took ten years to convert almost all of Greece an Bulgaria, mostly because I had only one missionary); I'm thinking that religious ideas aren't that necessary (they might be useful for instant conversion, though).
Related to this is the fact that OE players should be given reasons not to convert their subjects; right now playing historically is totally not worth it, basically for the fast and painless conversion.
Imho, clearly.

Really loving the game so far. I only encountered 1 glitch: playing as the Ottos in a war against Poland, I went around clicking a bunch of things in the peace negotiations window. Then I closed it, and for some reason, neither the keyboard nor edge-of-screen mouseovers could move the camera. I waited a bit, clicked some buttons, mashed some keys, and it started working again. Weird.
Still, I'll reiterate: the game is awesome

One thing that sort of bothers me: Stability does not increase naturally and is only increased via spending administrative power, yet the button to increase it says "boost". Boost implies that it enhances an already-existing natural growth, which is not the case. The button should just say "increase".
Basically this..... Oh time and sunlight, how I will miss thee. <3
I failed to enable other countries in the demo, like one of the previous posters. I managed to get the shield of the desired country shown on the country selection screen, but when I click on it the country doesn't get selected and nothing happens. I suppose paradox made quick fix to the exe file so that only the default four countries can be selected :sad:
:sad:
Starting as Austria, do cultural shift to Dutch culture (conquering the dutch provinces and selling your Austrian ones after leaving the HRE), get admin tech lvl 10, form Dutch nation, instant game-over
Played as the Ottomans first I found converting to too fast, and I found myself just accumulating a lot of points to point of simply waiting around for tech. That's not to say it was a cakewalk Venice I was able smash so I took Crete and Cyprus. however when it came to fighting Ak Qonyulu even with all of my forces they put a fight I was getting around to really hurting them bad, but had to leave.
I don't see how you can call a game without the most defining CK feature, characters, a CK game.
