Europa Universalis and other (grand) strategy games general.

This is the second time in my 600 gorillion hours of playtime that I made it all the way to the Age of Revolutions, this was really fucking laggy and slow. I really, REALLY wish there was a way to enable the fog of war for those middle of nowhere 3 dev provinces (like the ones in Siberia, Central Asia, Africa, etc) you own so that the game doesn't have to render everything, because the comparisons when you have no fog of war and fog of war literally everywhere are quite massive. There's only Castille, France, England, Scotland and the Netherlands now and then it's over. (Not counting those '''''countries''''' in Polynesia, because did you know that Polynesia had some?). Maybe if I'm more patient, I'll go to the Americas as well.

It's actually hilarious how easy it is to get the High American tech group. Just annex 10 provinces from a European colonial subject and boom, nobody's beating your damn army now because it's a purposely stupid OP tech group. Anyway, I'm gonna go to China to claim the mandate, maybe also form Japan as well.

Or actually, maybe the Qing would be better, as the Qing has -25% core creation cost on its national ideas. Combining this with the Mayan religion, that's -55% ccr without taking admin ideas, that's quite insane. A bit of a shame that it's capped doe.

I didn't know you could get that tech tree like that without a custom nation or an imported ck2 game. Probably speaks to how little I've actually played as native american countries since they're boring as fuck.

You can get the event by finishing the 'Punish the Invaders' mission from the Winds of Change DLC, choosing the last option changes your tech to High American. I originally wanted to do this because I thought a Mayan Roman Empire with High American tech group sounds so fucking funny.

It feels slightly less boring with the Winds of Change DLC active, like at least you get to fight fellow heya hoyas if you play in Central America as the Aztec for example. But other than Central America, the gameplay is amazingly boring. Like your typical colonisation game, except none of the fun because you're not playing in Europe.

I thought eu4 combat was pretty simple compared to, say Hearts of Iron 4

Like if you have 25 combat width just fill in your army with something like 17 infantry, 8 cavalry and the artilleries for sieges and fire support
