Seems fine to me.
This time after Civ6's release, Civ5 had gone back to being on top.
Took 2 years for Civ6 to finally beat Civ5.
Yet here Eu5 is still ahead of Eu4 already.Would probably do a lot better if more people could afford upgrades to run the game.

Anon01/12/26, 21:05No.2320514
It's their flagship; they will keep it on life support no matter the user base.
Besides, active player base doesn't matter, Johan already said it is one of their best selling title. They already have the money from the players.

I find eu5 more fun, needs more ways to know how to trigger historical events than checking the files, also with a mod every nation has advances now.

Anon01/13/26, 16:25No.2320954
Why would they abandon the game?
It had a successful launch and, sure, I don't think it's as good as EU4 and I don't have much interest in playing it, enough people have already bought in that Paradox's DLC financial model should work

Suppose we'll know how fucked they are after that megapatch comes out. If it doesn't get a pretty big player uptick from that I'd say its Imperator situation again.

I rage quit and uninstalled after battles stopped working (after spending ages trying to 'fix' them) , one side just auto wins with no losses on either side and the other retreats. I thought it was my mods but it started doing it without any running still.

I've consumed EU5 so far from just watching map time lapses on YouTube, is there just no way to reduce the border gore in this game so far? I figured there'd be some states system like in HOI4, but obviously less flawed than the system in HOI4 since they've had a decade to improve on it, but it looks like the AI is able to draw borders based on tiles and just make nonsense blobs.

>Never got a Knights campaign off the ground in EU4
>Extremely easy to do so in EU5
>Own most of the Balkans and Anatolia by mid 1400's
>Economy is in permanent runaway success mode despite me just leaving it on automate and not thinking about it
>Campaign feels absolutely identical to Ottoman campaign other than the start being slower
>Various differences on paper, such as Rise of the Turks situation, Catholic Church IO, etc all amount to literally nothing and don't distinguish these two campaigns at allThere's no fixing this. The foundation of the game is too goddamn boring to ever turn it into something good at this point. They've got all these mechanics like situations and IOs, but none of them actually do anything. Click on them and you get a popup window with a little bit of irrelevant info in it where you can maybe click on one thing that slightly modifies your nation in a way that you'll never notice for a few years. So you just ignore it all and expand like crazy even if you're playing as a OPM like the Knights. Pathetic lack of differentiation between nations.
