Gaming 1836 - The Europa Universalis 4 Experiment (Hands-off) - Map & stats in second post - Final Map and Stats update - Timelapse video

Nice work! Don't really need colonists being landlocked like that, when I chose hardly anyone had chosen so I thought they could make their way to the sea either north or south, not looking likely anymore. Why embezzler though? I'm incorruptible!

The leader traits were generated randomly, I'm afraid :D
 
Looks good nimic thanks. Though I've little idea what's going on, I know that if I have to make an alliance I'd go with Solius (no offence Crackers)

Have I accidentally picked a meta area or something?
 
Austria is a cheat code :lol: I always try no-hopers. I guess I'm a masochist
Depends on what is your goal. Creating HRE on hard mode is a tricky one.
Same as England. Playing for new world and to conquer island is easy. But to beat French (big blue blur in map) is a challenge
 
whats hoi? I gave CK a good rattle when it went in gamepass but couldn't quite crack it first few goes, another one to go back to
World War 2 setting. A bit more military focused
 
I didn’t even realise there were other EU4 players on here. I’ve got about 1500 hours clocked. Count me in for any multiplayer sessions.

Ive played a lot more Hoi4 and a good bit more CK2, but I really admire EU4 as a game. its just hard as feck.
 
Here come the next four. Let's start with @Organic Potatoes, another player whose country is so big that I had to zoom out a lot. A true island empire-to-be, and possibly in a good spot to do some colonization. If you're in Iceland you can get to Greenland, and from there you could reach the sunny shores of Arctic Canada. He just needs to make friends with (or conquer) altodevil and Welsh Wonder. He's got a good mix of national ideas, though the aggressive expansion one should maybe make his neighbours worried. King OP Funky Taters the Smooth I is a sinner.

Hanging out by the Mediterranean, we have possibly the smallest player nation in this game. @P-Nut wanted to start in Northern Italy, which has some obscenely rich provinces. So he's small, but he packs a punch. He's got a couple of small borders with players to the north, but the real challenge will probably be VeevaVee further south in Rome. P-Nut's country has few military national ideas, but if he can stay safe he should be able to build a wealthy nation. If the cruel King Zion the Conqueror can moderate himself, anyway.

Going back north, it's time to introduce @PSV. He only shares borders with two players to begin with, but the borders with Samid to the north and Tiber to the east are quite long indeed. In addition to that he's likely to make early contact with the purple menace to his east, Dr. Dwayne. He's got a colonist coming, but if he wants to make good use of it is he'll have to take some coast first. His national ideas seem ideally suited to building a country where war isn't the main goal. King Kęith Myaż (or Keith Myaz in EU4) is careful, which fits nicely.

Rounding out this bunch, we turn to @RedSky and his nascent empire in the south of France. It's a very strong immediate starting position, having only two one-province borders with Welsh Wonder to the north and Crackers to the south, both of whom will probably be busy closer to home. He's got a nicely varied set of national ideas, but it definitely seems like there's war in RedSky's future. King Redsky 'Little Pecka' IV is a scholar.

I predict @altodevil will drive @Welsh Wonder to the continent and take Scotland from @Organic Potatoes.

ADevil will be a superpower
 
If I had the time or energy I would ask an AI to create portraits of our rulers. But just imagine I did that instead.
 
How will the HRE work with these self made nations?
Like normally. I deliberately got rid of Austria completely, to make sure they didn't have a monopoly on the Emperor. The players with capitals inside of the Empire are part of it. We did hurt it already though, since you guys ate so many small HRE members to even get created, and its power is partly defined by the number of members.
 
Hm, there's quite the budget differences between the user nations. Lowest (Abizzz) is at 413, while highest (Grib) is at 491.

Wouldn't it be possible to increase/decrease the already chosen tradition/idea/ambitions so that we at least are within reasonable range of each other?

(Obviously I'm towards the bottom pointing this out. :D )

Good spot - nerf OP @nimic
