Europa Universalis V

Okay, the long-suffering EU5. Yes, the game is unfinished, yes, there are a lot of bugs, and yes, some mechanics don’t work. But it already has A LOT of depth, even if not all of it is useful, and some mechanics seem to exist mainly for future DLCs to improve them somehow BUT this game is highly addictive if you really try to put some thought into it and set personal goals. For example, instead of min-maxing, you can try to conquer Spain as the Aztecs, survive the Red Turban Rebellion as the Yuan, and so on. If you work toward these goals, you will have a lot of fun, and the game is constantly improving I really hope that this game will become great, and it is already more complex than any other Paradox game. Yes, it is undercooked, but I still believe in its potential, and I can recommend it if you can close your eyes to most of its problems. But you should probably wait for a few more patches if you really don’t tolerate bugs

这个游戏知道自己想要做什么吗？

Game is slowly getting too point that it is acceptable. I wish it was released in the state it has just been updated too with 1.3. Preface is important here, this is the typical Paradox release and what I am about to say doesn't change that. EU5 has, in my honest opinion, been the quickest Paradox have took the release state of a game and get it to a point where it is enjoyable. They make huge, deep systems (EU5 is the biggest example of that, for better or worse (it's complexity is another matter).) and no other companies make games like them. They deserve credit, and it is due here for that. CK3 took far longer too get too a point where I thought it was a complete package. The game is enjoyable and deep, I recently played a run as Occitan avoiding any "Unique Content" and found that run was still engaging without major unique content. The situations ect changing over time to have me take the place of France during the Italian league, ect, was content enough. The economy cycle, since launch despite it changing every update, is far better than EU4 and a very enjoyable simulation. It allows small nations too exist in a way they couldn't prior. It adds believable pretext too your tall games about why your nation can economically survive and even fight off far larger foes. It is enjoyable becoming the dominant source of fine textiles, guns, cannons, gems, ect in the world. But, The huge and deep systems I praised, and the dynamic situations ect, still don't replace a serious lack of content in certain regions and niches our community has. Many will have too resort too mods too enjoy their racial based alt history where "Insert players country, or predecessor state" conquers the world - especially if they want atleast 1 event. This is a problem, but EU4 had this problem for a long time. It will get fixed, but it needs too be stated for how many years this will plague the game. And the economy has a major problem in that they keep changing it. This will plague the game even after they stop messing with it... it is a huge and deep system, and connected to every facet of the game. I can see many updates and changes breaking it over the years wholly by mistake. It worries me, and the standard set gives right too concern. Despite this, a few other small things, and the fact I wholly disagree with the design philosophy (Forums are interesting reading what Tinto has to say, and anyway the first DLC has put their word in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. For a "historical focus" the first DLC having such a focus on Hellenism and a Latin revival was odd. Who even knows what the design approach is now.) I can honestly say I recommend it. Paradox are doing good, as an honest and loving fan who just wants the best for my games I can recommend buying it. It will get better too. Paradox fans complain a lot, but we have a dev that listens and doesn't leave games broken forever (maybe just takes a long time to get them fixed lol). The game, as of 1.3, is something I can recommend. Before I could not, but now I can leave a positive review and suggest purchase too friends and fellow enjoyers of their games. (Mods will give you the playthroughs you want while you wait a year or two for DLC+Update focused on your region.)

tengo el juego eu5, no puedo descargar sacred sites porque no me lo detecta steam, pero fijate 789 horas, vaya! aqui hay un error espero que lo solucioneis

За 8 месяцев игра стала лучше, ии поживее, в целом комфортнее стало играть. Оптимизацию чинить нада

This is a fantastic game and if you are interested in history and/or especially human geography I think that you will enjoy it. Obviously there is a steep learning curve and lots of moving parts, but it feels like this is the game I have been waiting for my whole life. Even as someone who has studied history at a postgrad level this game still surprises me and teaches me new things. The intricate modelling of individual people/population groups down to their religion, culture, social class, economic demands, political aspirations etc. also provokes you to think about how your rule is going to impact them and how they are going to respond to it. I think its the first game of this type that has really given me pause for thought about if the people I am conquering/influencing are going to respond well to me and how I can mitigate that by carrot and stick, rather than just clicking the 'crush them' button. It also makes you question things like 'how did the ottomans manage to rule a country with a Greek/Christian majority' and look into it yourself. The one negative I'd flag to watch out for is the pace of updates - often they will break your save games. I do not have time to play this game enough to finish a run between major updates. It is very frustrating to have a game broken by major changes and have to start from 1337 again. I'm excited to see where this game goes next as more flavour is added to an already amazing base!

Right off the bat, I will say I don't think I understand this game enough to feel qualified to review it, but I have almost 200 hours into it so I will try my best. EU5 is very complicated and I think all but the crustiest of Paradox game autists would agree. EU5 combines many aspects of Paradox's other games, especially the complex economic mechanics of Victoria and the political and religious concepts of Crusader Kings. Like many Paradox games, EU5 does not go a great job in explaining these mechanics and many important tools and explanations can be hidden behind several other tool tips and tucked away windows. While EU5 gets frequent updates, the updates often change mechanics making it even harder get a firm grasp of these mechanics. Despite not knowing some or many of the concepts in this game, the one’s I have observed seem only semi-functional. One really obvious one is the behaviour of ally armies. You will often be at war in this game, and you AI allies will pretty much go out of their way to make war much more difficult. Maybe they’ll go in the complete opposite direction of your armies, not advance with you into battle or simply not participate in a war at all despite technically being participants in it. I do believe if you have the dedication, time, and highly neurodivergent brain required to understand the mechanics of this game, you will have fun. If you are a more casual enjoyer of Crusader Kings or the Civilization series, this game will probably seem impenetrable and not worth the hours required to learn a lot of the concepts.
