As you accumulate hours, you don't make less mistakes, your mistakes just become bigger and more complicated.

I play Europa Universalis 4, a historical political simulator that has gameplay starting on 11 Nov, 1444. The joke on the sub reddit was that you were a noob until you played at least 1,444 hours.

I've surpassed 1,820 hours (the end year of the game) now and still feel like a noob sometimes

  1. How have you found EU5 to be? I took a break from it because I got annoyed at managing my dynasty once it got to like 50 people or so.

  2. what's your craziest EU4 run? I once did an angvian empire run where I had force converted so much of the HRE that Anglicanism became the official faith following the League wars, and they elected me emperor.

  1. I actually haven't gotten 5 yet, heard it had the classic Paradox rough launch so I'm waiting for a year or two of polish. And I still have a few campaigns planned out in 4.

  2. I'm currently on an Aragon peasant republic > Spain > roman republic run, learning to balance multiple offset coalitions for the first time has been a cool challenge. Other than that, had a Teutonic horde run was really fun.

Been eyeing up an angivan run for a while now, that might push me into it!

Yeah, rough is correct, but it does have some promise.

I haven't done the Aragon republic yet... Good idea!
