  • EU4 Novgorod is one of the best trading nations in EU4. Thanks to it's position in the novogorod trade node and nice national ideas, you can easiliy become the richest nation in the game before forming EU4 Russia and going on an absolute rampage. That being said, you do need to actually survive the initial EU4 muscovy war which is no easy task. Let me know, is this the best trade nation in EU4?
    THIS is the BEST TRADE NATION in EU4!

    A drydock is in fact, as the name implies, a dry dock. Think huge bathtub with a sluice at one end, drive boat in, close sluice, pump water out, repair ship, pump water back in, open sluice, drive out. Of course there are other designs but that's the general idea. You will often find references to warships having to enter dry dock. Meaning they would be out of commission for a long time, most often due to heavy battle damage or extensive retrofitting.

    I very much agree that EU4 should have more emotionally gripping moments. I get sick of just expanding, and I wish there were more events and mechanics for things like literacy, poverty, disease, education, sanitation, etc that really immerse you in the context you're in, as opposed to just a pure numbers and strategy game.

    About the nature of EU4 that you talked about around 26:00 - it is a weird thing about the Paradox games, CK is full on character based, EU4 is all about conquest, Victoria is economics, HoI4 is logistics/wartime production; a moderate mix of all 4 would be an amazing grand strategy game

Thanks for everything you do :D Have a good day. And if you by any chance find this easy I can give a few extra rules I guess something like "You must stay monarchy always, cannot trade with the austrians and ottomans (embargo em pretty much), cannot ally the austrians, ottomans, serbs, montenegro and russians.

    • @newguy8288
      @newguy8288 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s more so a republic because the Veche, as in the merchants and the common people in general had a say in the election. An elective monarchy would imply the nobility voting for the king for the most part, like dukes and such.
      Plus the Prince of Novgorod had much less power in comparison to a king in Poland-Lithuania, so it’s more like a republic because of that
