Grants you an extremely good heir. At least one guaranteed 6. The mean time to happen is 5000 months.

'Oly shit.

lad, that is like, the best event ever.

THE BEST.

RNGESUS HAS COMETH.

Lux Stella basically is an event that gives you heirs with insanely high stats. Mostly all above the 4/4/4 range. Some even 6/6/6.

Edit: edited 'dude' to 'lad' because I think Transoxthraxia is a girl. Or am I wrong? :unsure:

There's still a chance, but much less likely. But aside from that, yes.

I wish you could custom name the child then.
Fun fact.

It's always a guaranteed 6 in one stat, which is dependent on which option you choose. The others vary normally, but even if you get a 6/3/3 you're doing very well.

Eh, I mean France is always a good pick, but if you don't know how to play your cards right and are new to the game, you could end up in disaster with France. I would recommend the Ottomans because making a mistake with them isn't the end of the world.

Colonization game as Sulu. Expanding into the spice islands and pacific islands, planning on racing the europeans to california or at least alaska, but we'll see. I may want to stay away from having to deal with colonial nations. My Ceylon game didn't go too well when I colonized Australia. Ungrateful colonials...

Caddo was actually my first non European game ever, aaaaaaaaaages ago. I picked them because they're the closest nation to where I live IRL, and their flag is pretty. I never finished the game, but I did extremely well for a greenhorn.

Yeah, no. That's not going to happen. I will savescum the hell out of the game if anything even comes close to Johan. Once he reaches adulthood . . . I'll try to accept his death and pull back on the blatant cheating. This is a once in a lifetime EUIV experience, there's no way I'm not going to go to extraordinary lengths to keep it going for a while.

Ok ternate then, I tried playing Castile and Aragon declared and since I am a newb i got fucked and my nation got divided into 2.. Then I declared on them after building a lot of troops and divided them into 3. No I want to colonize but have no idea how to do it. Is there a guide anywhere explaining everything?

There's a guide in Reddit and in EU4 wiki. For colonization you need to reach Administration level 5 and then choose Exploration Idea.

Gold can't change, for its quality never went down.

As far as I am aware, just let trading happen, don't attempt to fix it, just let it happen. My tampering lead to me going bankrupt on a number of occasions.
