EU4 - Development Diary - 2nd of October 2018

Those colours... the unmistakable border of Portugal and Castile!
That "ve" is for Algarve!

Iberian Immersion Pack!
AVANTE, LUSITÂNIA!

Spoiler: This isn't (just) about Spain

ESPAÑA!!!!!

OMG TODAY IS A BIG DAY I AM VERY HAPPY


AT THE END, ALL THE CRUSADE OF MY BROTHERS HAVE BEEN LISTENED FOR PARADOX

THANKS!!!!!!!!

Spain finally... and I'm finishing my current Spain game, wouhou!

Me at this moment

No...
it's for Iberia, not Spain. They wouldn't have shown the Portuguese border if it were just for Spain.
What's with all the people saying "Spain"...?

Ah, Portuguese and Spanish. The only things we can agree on:

1. Iberia stronk;
2. Reconquista;
   
3. Nobody expects the Inquisition (until Marquês de Pombal uses it to get rid of political opposition);

 

[enKage]

Iberian imersion pack would also be incomplete without rework of Maghreb, am I right? Would we finally have distinct Tunisian NI?

The anthem thing is because I'm a spaniard and... you know, nationalist hype

 

[Em Ay Ef]

100% agreed.

OMG, are we getting Navarra properly relocating to Béarn after its conquest by Spain? <3

 

[hannibal_barca]

Read about Hispania, Al-Andalus, etc...

Exactly, Spain was one of the richest regions... Its mineral wealth was coveted throughout entire Mediterranean world. Why do you think Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Germanic Tribes kept trying to settle it?

 

[Te. Kenzo]

If you are returning to work on europe and map changes can I show you three suggestion about savoy, I posted just the other day? It seems just a good occasion

This about the wasteland called "Alps":

And this about Sardinia-Piedmont formation:

[P4BLO]

Nevermind I spoke too soon, the conversion changes in 1.27 just made my day

 

[nicccky]

Come on guys, it's obviously West Africa

 

[Cineres]

How can one fear what they cannot expect?

(Not because Monty Python quotes are bad [obviously], but because I'm hoping for an event where you're given 30 days notice before you or your family members are getting inquisited and have to deal with the ensuing drama.)

 

[BuchiTaton]

Great news, Iberian Immersion Pack!

Now considering this is a ImPack and not a full expansion I expect:
- Some kind of exclusive flavor mechanic for Iberian nations.
- DLC exclusive deeper mechanic for something that can be usefull for many tags outside Iberia, I guess Catholic or Colonial improvement.
- Iberia gonna get at least 15 new provinces, plus more provinces in Magreb and / or Italy.

Sadly for me Americas are too big to be included in an "Iberian" Immersion Pack, that is more the work for a full Expansion DLC.

What do you think?

 

[Foefaller]

Hilarious, as always, Jake!

Regarding HRE needing "love," out of the box HRE has unique mechanics. Common Sense and Mare Nostrum both given additional content, Imperial Cities and Free Cities, respectively. Rights of Man gave a special government to Prussia. Achievements have continued to be added that are HRE specific. What would you want to be added to HRE, specifically?

I believe the most common requests are:

-more provinces/tags. Historical HRE had over 300 members, and while some of them were literally an abby and the village that popped up around it, there are many, many worthwhile nations that deserve to be seen.

-rework of the HRE system, which other than the addition of Free Cities and the Religious war, is largely unchanged from it's introduction in EUIII.

-Most aren't too happy about how the Religious War and Reformations are done either.

-# of current tags that deserve more unique missions, event, ideas etc. Exceed the scope of an Immersion pack (having as many tags in your borders as the last 3 regions worked on for the last 3 major DLCs will have that issue) especially of we focus on Northern Itally with Florence/Tuscany, Milan, Ferrara, Genoa and the Papal States or central and SW Germany with tags like Saxony, Switzerland and Bavaria... Frankly almost all the ones that aren't OPMs, and even a few of those too. And let's not forget Austria; if Prussia deserves it's own unique government, so does the home of the Hapsburgs.

-Finally, speaking of Prussia, needs to form on its own more often.

Have you ever played as Catalonia in EUIV? Probably the easiest independence war ever, and I like their ideas and starting land.

 

[korawit13]

@DDRJake, Why does your team finished all of the East which include Southeast Asia? The Buddhaism mechanics need to be improved because of a lack of love for a long time and that is why many players do not play in that region. Burma gets its own mission, but Ayutthaya gets a generic mission? please explain the reason.

I caution you that Spain and France's superpowers are very important in Europe because if one of them eat one at another; Attila the Hun all over again.

 

[Yevardian]

Here are some good HRE-related Mods that add to the base-game without radically revamping anything. Switzerland in particular could use work.

 

[hjarg]

And there I was, just starting my AAR about Portugal. Typical.

 

[Xetfield]

Maybe also we'll unique government reform of Cortes for Castille, Aragon and Portugal and maybe some events for them. I look at you, lack of events for Dharma governments!

 

[Levelialist]

I would like to get an colonial nation overhaul too. That is really annoying too see Cuba in most of Brazil. There should be a tickbox or something as "Limit colonial nation's expansion by its colonial region" or maybe seize land and/or transfer land between them.

Finally good news! I hope this dlc will give also some flavour to Maghreb area as It always finishes with a big tunis (there are some exceptions).

Ah! Please do not forget to remove Catalonian culture from València, Alicante or Castellón (in case this last is added). These regions never had catalonian culture and they were part of the kingdom of Valencia. Valencian culture is different than catalonian and it should have it's own València core.

The Valencians are Catalans who migrated to the new lands conquered by the Catalan knights. Its identity is in practice a traditionally Catalan identity. With its same language and with similar institutions.
