What game are you playing?

[Nordengrund]

I just started playing EU 4.

I'm Castile and I had two wars so far. The first one was against Navarre and their ally England and Aragon was my ally. I occupied Navarre but gave it its independence back since they refused to be fully annexed, but at least I had proved my military superiority and made them cut off influences with Britain and then claimed their throne.

A little later I attacked Grenada to expand my kingdom and this time I brought Portugal in as an ally. Grenada has two provinces left, so I might finish them off.

I'm debating whether or not to improve relations with England as they have some provinces I want, but I can also live without those territories. I'd probably want to focus more on Morroco. I also have Royal marriages with Navarre, Aragon, Portugal, and France.

What the title says. Are you currently playing a game, are you currently hooked on a game series (Killzone, gears of war etc), what game did you last play?

Currently I'm not playing anything...well nation states but I was playing Sniper Elite V2. I'm starting to get back into that game. As for a series, like I said I've been playing SEV2 but I've always been obsessed with the Killzone series.

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XV for ps4 gonna get Kingdom Hearts 2.8 soon. Yes I'm a fan of most square enix games

If you want to focus on Africa, Morocco is the first choice for invasion. And considering you are Castille, it wouldn't be hard to defeat them. It will be great as well if you have an ally in North Africa, like the kinds of Touggourt or Mamluks in case you want to take Tunis as well. Mamluks as your ally can be some sort of protection border as Ottoman will eventually attack Mamluks.

If you want to focus on Europe (which you can) you can try to hope for a personal union with Aragon under your union, since it gives you chance to control Aragon (and with Naples as well if possible).

I was just playing eu4 for the first time in ages. I am doing an Oman->Arabia run. So far I have liberated Najd and reduced yemen's size. I'm allied to Hejaz and Mamluks. It is 1474, and I have military and administrative tech 5 and diplo tech 6. Institutions are slow me down because najd and haasa (my northern neighbor) has not embraced feudalism. Hormuz is my recently incorporated vassal.

At some point you have to stop allying yourself with Mamluks, wait for the truce to ends, and attack them. Because there are some provinces that is required to form Arabia that is under the control of Mamluks. And you better start stopping the alliance with Mamluks now, since most of the time, Ottoman start attacking Mamluks from 15th century and you DON'T want to get the core provinces when they are under the control of Ottoman. Usually, they got the institutions embraced faster/earlier and they sported a better unit than Muslim-tech (they are exclusively Anatolian-tech).

And Hejaz as well.

Well, I'm hoping to claim Aragon's throne but they have a stable monarchy. I'm new at the game so I may not be understanding how that works. We are allies, but I think we also both claimed Navarre's throne, so there is the possibility of a war of succession.

I have a large army stationed in Grenada and they're draining my money but I am keeping them around to suppress a possible Grenadan rebellion and I plan to keep them around for my next war.

The Iberian Wedding event that allows you to form a PU over Aragon. It fires when your monarchs are of the opposite sex, and occurs in most games, so don't go to war with Aragon if you can help it. If Aragon still has Naples, you'll get that too.

A royal wedding was one of the first things they offered me, so I went with it.

[Nuke in Ya Pantz]

Currently I have been playing War Thunder (though they may not be the best, I love the American aircraft and tanks and play the other nations on the side just to progress my trees... though play british the second most) I've also been playing the entire S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series and started playing the first one again, this time with the Complete 2009 mod. I also play Battlefield 4 a bit

The Iberian wedding is different from the standard royal weddings you get through diplomacy. It's a special event that might appear as a pop-up before 1500, if you meet the criteria. You'll be given a choice between marrying the Aragonese King/Queen, or marrying a local noble. Take the first option and you get a PU over Aragon.

You should head over to the Paradox thread if you want help getting past EU4's ridiculous learning curve.

Are you a fan of the Kingdom Hearts series

Are you a fan of the Kingdom Hearts series

Yes I am, unfortunately the only game besides Unchained X that I have played was 358/2 Days. I would really like to play the others, but unfortunately I don't have the time to go out and find Them. I don't have the consoles necessary to play them either. I am excited for Kingdom Hearts III though. It will be available for Xbox One and I hope a release date will be announced soon.

I started over on EU4 because I was taking out loans like crazy and everyone was and at me for agressive expansion. I also had two rebellions to put down.

I tried again as Castile trying to go peaceful with Navarre this time and lost the claim to the throne pretty quickly so I declared war and then just about every country in southern and Central Europe declared war on me and took my provinces. I laid siege to Navarre but was driven out by a foreign power then suddenly found several armies all over Castile.

If I play as them again, I guess I'll just focus on Granada and Morocco.
This didn't happen last time.

Which is better for a newcomer, Castile, Ottomans or Portugal?

Portugal seems easier since Castile has a lot of ethnic groups that seem to spark tensions.

Ottomans are very easy; just plain expansion. Castile has a little more to juggle, particularly the colonial and dynastic game, so the learning curve is steeper.

Also, the claim throne button should be used relatively rarely, and only against large nations. With Navarra, you should be able to request vassalisation through the diplomacy screen, though you have to be quick, because France will try to do the same. If you must go to war, just fabricate claims and annex them.

I play Ace Attorney and Kerbal Space Program, currently.

I already claimed their throne but I will keep that in mind for next time.

Good luck when you reach whittier, you're gonna need if you're playing on supreme jerk.

[Nordengrund]

I'm very close to uniting all of Anatolia and Greece in EU4. The only independent nation in Anatolia aside from the Ottomans are the Ramazan who are backed by the Mamluks.

I rule all of Greece except for Athens and the islands near the mainland.

I think I'll take Athens and then finally claim that last bit of Anatolia.

Idk if I want to fight Mamluks, though.

I might try to end Venice's dominance of the eastern Mediterranean as well.
