I can't quite put my finger on why, but there's something that makes the period about 40-70 years into every CK2 game the most excruciating experience ever. I'm starting to remember why I've quit so many games after my first one or two rulers die.

It took me a few tries but I finally formed Gran Colombia.

Also is it normal that China's military score suddenly doubles around the early 20s?

. . . I forgot to share the big Victoria 3 patch notes. One of the big and cool surprises is the addition of assassination for nations with Secret Police.

The CK3 changelog, on the other hand, actually came out today.

If there isn't an event chain for characters whose hair begins thinning before they hit their 20s doing increasingly desperate things to stop it, I'm not interested.

You'll either look like a lovable dad or a Neo-Nazi. No in-between.

I wasn't sure what to make of this, last week, but this week's "Tinto Talks" thing pretty much 100% confirms EUV and this is its first real Dev Diary.

I think Vicky 3 should have very in-depth and mutually interesting subject mechanics, so I'm interested in this DLC. Being a great power should feel like you're determining the futures of many more countries than your own, and being a minor power be an interesting challenge or a fun supporting role.
Hopefully they get it right.

I'm not sure what to feel about how much EU4 is being saturated with new "endgame tags" that are virtually indistinguishable from each other. And yet we still won't get a United Kingdom tag.
