Today at 15:00CET - Europa Universalis IV for novice world conquerors with DDRJake and cKnoor

[Oahkoah]

If I fail I can always blame Jake.
But yes, first time.

Okay, here are some tips.
Always ally France, and always settle for greyskin. Jake will teach you how.

 

[Dnote]

I wouldn't trust Jake either, learn from him certainly, but don't trust him.

or play Byzantium. Jake can teach you that as well

 

[Christopholes]

Dev diary and stream it is like Christmas around here.

 

[MAHak]

I've never done a WC, so is it true that if you do conquer the world DDRJake will spawn as an end boss and you have to defeat him in order to win the game?

 

[Vroobel]

If I fail I can always blame Jake.
But yes, first time.

Good luck then

 

[BBMorti]

Be sure to ask Jake about his thoughts on going the greyskin route.

 

[MiniaAr]

Also attack Riga the first time you get the chance. Such a weak country that shouldn't cause you any trouble.

 

[IceTytanFang]

Jake showing off his Glorious Scotland pride. Now, cKnoor has to play as England and conquer Scotland

 

[Rabid]

Gulf and hoof cKnoor! (for next time, I know it already happened...)

 

[Soulburger]

Watch out Johan! Clearly Jake's ambition is growing!

 

[Conqueristo]

Do my eyes deceive me? Is that a PARADOX mousemat? Can't wait to buy mine at the store....What? Not available!

Not available for scrubs

 

[TheLetterZ]

Heard Jake did swimmingly in this game

 

[ThePatriotOfDreumel]

Jake should be on a Ryukyu loading screen.

 

[Haldan]

DDRJake's dream of becoming a sellout has become real. A grand moment in his life truly.

He's wearing the Company shirt and everything.

You can use those two very good tips and add to it - use lots of loans, Jake loves loans he can`t play without taking tons of loans just to have money around

Jake, that was kind of sad to watch. I get, teaching a noob as you were, that you would not want to mix it up too much, but you waited too long to hire advisors, losing valuable points, did not start building ships to beat away Tunisia, which you would know you'd had to beat if you kept an eye on Granada, and also, after reconquering Granada, you didn't take Spain must be Christian, which is uhh, lets just say, the most important early game event Castile can definitely fire and thus a free and important mission completion.

Maybe you should have showed a video of a country you know how to play.

Because you are naturally the expert? This is a chap who has made the jump from forum helper to employee because he knows the game inside out. If you don't agree with him, or his play-through, grand! Say so and explain why.Even if in this one circumstance you think (to be debated) you know better than he does, don't come across like a superior tool, it impresses and engages no one.

The idea was for me to understand what was going on, and that was a lot more important than playing optimally. There is no point in talking about ambassadors before understanding what stats they influence. And since the plan of the stream was to get to the new world that is what we focused on. Castille-specific events aren't really what the stream was about.

Normally I wouldn't discuss all the plans behind a stream, but in this case I felt it was important enough to get everyone on the same page about what we wanted to do. That said there's still room for improvement, and I read most comments in relation to the streams.
