Stop Complaining About Paradox "Watering Down" Titles!

Kinda interesting since eu4 is a watered down version of eu3 if u check out eu4 in the first year at least. And as much as this happened with Vic 3 and CK 3 in relation to Vic 2 and CK 2, it happened with EU 4 too in relation to EU 3, so honestly i am not that extremely worried.

Ironically EU4 was actually built upon EU3 with all expansions, with a few features removed to be replaced with other mechanics. You could argue that it took a while to get some new Daimyo system for EU4, but the one in eu3 was rather bad.

Here's a DD i wrote 11 years ago on the topic.
