I wouldn't recommend using the steam deck with this game.

I see that Paradox is really starting to put some love on "minor" nations through its games. CK3 greatly improved non European countries look and feel, and playability. HOI4 too (although there were some major bugs on the last DLC), and now EU4 had a few updates focusing on non European countries. It's gonna be fun now that the rest of the world isn't just placeholder waiting to be conquered :D

I just they don't end like Canonical who tried weird things with Mir and Unity. they do a good job, but don't get too greedy :unsure:

Will some data be transferred to Valve ? Because the steam account's owner agreed to to the EULA, but not the person invited.

Quoting: MassinissaEU4 is so much more complex than other PAradox games (excluding Vic2), I don't even really understand it or how combat or trade works. I hope there were some detailed noob guide, I didn't find any.

I was roughly 40 hours in before I felt like I really had a handle on what I was doing, though it was also my first Paradox game so I had to learn everything from scratch instead of being able to extrapolate from other games like I could with CK II, Stellaris, and HoI IV. :smile:

My favorite feature so far is that the Pacific region is getting fleshed out with some new tags, including the traditional four kingdoms of the Hawaiian isles! :woot: And I've just realized that the stuff about ways to play a small, centralized realm could be really useful for these kinds of small tags, so that'll be interesting.

I mean, I understand that this building gives your more monthly taxes, that an army cost each per month, etc... But I don't get why when I export my CK2 game where all technology is in Persia, REnaissance starts in scrambled Spain while they were one or two centuries late in CK2 :huh: , I don't get yet how to micro/macro, and how to estimate when I can win or loose a battle.

But I really LOVE that you can play obscure nations you never heard about in school. I wish I was good enough to create a Samoan empire, dancing the Haka before the battle for Moscow :D

I'm not sure, HoI4 has a bunch of obscure stuff too, and CK2 is not as complex but more counter-intuitive. But yeah, it is extremely complex.

How detailed you want the noob guide to be? If it is "over 45 hours of video", there is this one: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQFX9B_9L4-nsTuK1eDEOuBHKVoKc4cQN [External Link] (you don't really need to watch to the end, though, and it is decently entertaining). It is a nice tutorial because it is a very experienced player, but he is teaching someone new to the game (but not totally clueless about games) as they go so it ends up being a better learning experience. Not 100% up to date, but more than good enough for most of the basic stuff.

But there are plenty of other guides, tutorials and gameplay videos around, it's more a matter of filtering than finding any.

I find HOI4 way more simple than EU4. Like I did world conquest as anarchist spain as my first world conquest (I began the game at La Résistance DLC). And I did a Zoroastrian world conquest in CK2. But I can't manage to beat european Castilla as Granada, or resist colonization as Indonesia.

Thanks for the playlist :)

The back-paddle is the only reason I bought the steam controller, I went from bronze to diamond on Rocket League with these buttons ahah. But I'm too poor to buy the xbox elite pro2 controller

I have a Thrustmaster eSwap Pro, and it took me a while to get used to NOT hitting those bottom buttons on it, though it also would help if I could remember which buttons mapped to the top buttons on that controller!

By the way, it's an excellent controller with one of the best D-Pads I've ever used!

Didn't know about this controller, seems really nice. I don't know what's better between this one and scuff gaming's one.

It isn't worth it anyway. [External Link]

Damn, beaten by a 50€ controller who lasted me 2 years...
