Anyone knows who is the man on the left? I only know the middle one is Gustav and the right one is Albrecht .

I believe it is Christian II of Denmark.

Unpopular opinion: Let this game die already.

Multiplayer is unplayable, because this game had reached its technical limitations a long time ago, it is just unhealthy.
No DLC or update is ever going to fix this horrible performance and the developers do not even deny this fact.

I happily awaited and bought every EU4 DLC until now and with every DLC I just got more disappointed at the end,
throwing my money out the window to be honest. Why should the disappointment now perish?
This is my childhood and I really loved this game. But this is like keeping a corpse alive agsinst its own will, if it had one.

And about gameplay: Just look at all the new bonuses, which even the smallest countries will get via mission trees or events.
The balance also died a long time ago but this is getting more and more ridiculous.

I already know more people here will disagree than agree on my post,
because the community here is mostly made up of hyped yes-men. But this is completely delusional.
Just look at the steam review ratio of every DLC that has been released during the last years.

Very good!

Looking forward to the Middle East DLC: is Paradox planning to poll its fandom as to which Middle Eastern nations they would prefer be prioritized? I think this would help with how the DLC is received (plus I fear that the DLC will just add more flavor to Otto, Mam, Tim, and Mug at the expense of everyone else...).

I know that some players on here were saddened that Holstein and didn't receive any love with Lions, but Poland did. I think checking the fandom's pulse when it comes to nations to prioritize/prefer for regional DLCs with some sort of formal poll or ranking system would help the devs and make the reception that much better.

I still occasionally play For the Glory with AECG mod just for the sliders, budget instead of mana and crippling attrition. It was consistent in design, simple to explain, yet difficult to master. Just as a game should be.

Are mission trees a sensible use of ones money buying this dlc?

Looking forward to the free patch that this borderline nonsense finances

Eu5? More like base Eu4 with a few extra features and updated graphics that aren't that great.

That would be very strange for them to release the DLC without any prior warning, games companies do not do that.
Actually I've known several companies to do just that, but not paradox. They do, however, sometimes hold off on the pricing information, which so far in this case, they have not.

It's not confirmed to be the next DLC. It could also be a South America Immersion Pack.
Either way, we got 11 new mission trees here, so impossible for them to add only flavour to the Ottomans, Mamluks, Timurids and Mughals. Not to mention, the latter one is in India, so I highly doubt they'll touch it with a ME update, it already has a big scope to cover.

Once in while I am playing too. I loved to be bad boy and have all Assia, Europe and Africa in the Coalition in 20 years of game.:).
