Microsoft excel: the game

>a million new provinces in africa, india and china
>germany still looks like dogshit

You can just stomp Ottomans/Russians/Chinks/Any fucking large power by baiting them into terrible battles and draining their manpower then they're fucked for the rest of the game. Even with the longest truce possible by the time it's over their army will only be at like half strength of what it was and they have debt up to their necks as well.

>This CK3 patch
Holy shit they fixed every issue I had

I heard you could bait the AI in Vic 2 and EU4, but I never really figured out how

I miss imperial Russia guys

Even if the commies failed, they would have fallen anyway, the Tsar at the time was a very weak leader.

I don't know the math behind it but from my experience I'm guessing the AI weighs the number of troops in a stack more heavily than terrain and other bonuses, so if I have a 7k stack and they have a 10k stack they'll usually attack even if the 7k are in mountains and the defense bonus means the 7k will win.

Also even though I think the AI has fog of war turned off and can see all your armies they tend to try to siege any empty provinces even if said province is surrounded by much larger armies that you could just move in and crush them as soon as their movement locks.

Name 3 issues they fixed.

>they would have fallen anyway
yes, but everything is better than commies. I'm not a fan of Tsar Nicholas, but literally anything is better than the communists.

Europa Universalis is unplayable due to the amount of micromanagement required. I'll stick to crusader kings where I can outsource to my vassals.

Its paint, not excel

Yep, upon closer inspection you are correct

Are you serious?

user, the natural conclusion to a failed state is communism, socialist factions would have taken control of the new government after the fall of the Tsar because disenfranchised people buy into it real easily, just look at America's college students

wow i'm so intelligent

yes. managing a large empire in eu is nothing but busywork

Can we run Byzantium without having to cheese the AI now or is that still the modus operandi?

how do I best play Silent Hill 2 on PC? Is the port worth tracking down or should I just use an emulator

>manpower
Wow, that's sexist. Why don't we have womenpower instead.

That's actually come up on the forums and there's a growing demand to change manpower to "human resources."

This is probably the best thread to ask, I've been playing EU3 with MEIOU but the end of every month lags for like 3-5 seconds and it's pretty irritating. I hear the game only uses one core so there may not be much to do about it, but would anyone happen to have any ideas on how to fix it, or at least lessen the stuttering?

get the highest clocked intel cpu on the market and then overlock it as much as possible

It does for now. They've been moving to finally get multicore support going with CK2 and Stellaris, IIRC.
