New players here. I just had my 1st game as Castile. Things were fine at the beginning. Inherited Portugal and took down Aragon. But things went downhill once I did not honor the Call of Arm from France. Relationship went bad and France became my rival. Once the war broke out, I was just curbstomped by France. Morocco and even Persia declared war on me and I just decided to quit the game.

I'm back to working on MotE EVW and EvWSandbox (after discovering the infantry = current AI hack) and I released a "stable enough" version of Europa Modernis TOTC for all the EU3 players out there to enjoy.

There is a brand new version of ETO (Event Trigger Offloading) that's implemented in this version, and it should be great for dicking around in.

If you want to see a total chaos mode and stress-test the mod, go to common/static_modifiers.txt, look for the "population" entry, and comment out the revolt_risk modifier that's in that entry. The AI will go crazy and the world will devolve into brutal warfare, showcasing the existing AI mechanics.

Enjoy!

I am currently attempting a world conquest as Navarra on very hard (the AAR will be posted soon), so I decided to let you choose the religion of the country. Of course, considering the enormous difficulty of the campaign and a horrible starting position, religion will only be changed (if you choose so) much later in the campaign, when my country is stable enough and bonuses from Catholicism are no longer as important (for example, larger colonist bonus).

Pros:

Catholicism: more colonists, bonuses from cardinals including infamy reduction, most of Europe is Catholic and most of my provinces are Catholic, crusade and Papal controller bonuses, , lower stability cost, but there is a minor risk of excommunication.

Protestantism: Bonus to production efficiency and tax, some of my provinces convert via events for free

Do you have to be England in order to be able to release the 13 colonies / form the US or are there other nations in EU3 able to take this decision? Thx.

I just found out that in Eu3, trade "nodes" are dynamic, why did Eu4 abandon such a great feature?(it seems that the AI will create more trade nodes too, trieste and riga exist currently in 1640 in my austria game, but in the the normal 1399 start date they don't exist)

After playing EU4 for way too many hours since launch and finally getting my first WC and OF, I've decided to give EU III a go. I own the "Complete Edition" but it turns out that version doesn't contain HttT and DW.

Are there any EU3 veterans or enjoyers that can tell me if those two DLC are absolutely necessary? Or is it possible to enjoy EU3 without them and gradually introduce them after a hundred or so hours?

Is the mod as bad as it is said to be?

We have a game every saturday 19:00 cet so if anyone is innterested please join.

Hi all, I've managed to get EU3 5.2 working in multiplayer and me and a friend are enjoying the game. I am teaching him how to play. I would consider hosting a game for more people if you are interested. I'd love to even get regular monthly games going, people could join just one session or attend all sessions, doesn't matter, this game remains one of my favourites. Let me know if there is any interest out there. If anyone is hosting regular multiplayer games I'd consider joining occasionally so let me know.
