#EUROPA UNIVERSALIS 4 COUNTRIES HOW TO#

I'm not quite sure that Aztecs or African tribes could have figured out how to build large fancy seafaring ships, build universities, and so forth in the time period allotted. Where they got their tech from is interesting to know,but what matters the most is that they improved upon it greatly. Before that period Europe wouldn't be that advanced, yet that is to be expected. Not sure if you have looked at history, but the west did lead from 1500+ onwards. It's the only game mechanic I find frustrating and silly. the somehow it would be impossible for those non-Europeans to figure it out on their own.

It's also even MORE frustrating, that when the player needs to become more advanced through 'Westernization', that they NEED to have a European next door. Shin eredeti hozzГЎszГіlГЎsa:I love EU in general, but it's like every grand strategy title out there that focuses on history, it's focused on European, White, Christians.

I love EU in general, but it's like every grand strategy title out there that focuses on history, it's focused on European, White, Christians. There was a lot of technology in the East, but the game completely ignores it as well. which, to be frank, the natives did a fine job of fighting the colonials but disease, not technology wiped them out. Then there's the America's and the colonization. Which kind of talks about the 'how' when it comes to European colonialism.ДЄgriculture, for example, was a technology that the Aztecs had a much higher proficiency with than Europeans, in game it's completely ignore, opting to focus on 'boom boom' technologies, because Europeans were the best at it. There's in a fact a great documentary about this, Guns, Germs and Steel. there actually tons of evidece to support most of what Europe had acquired had come from the East, it's completely ignored in game. While historically, the Europeans were not the most advanced. Eurocentrism is the games philosophy, so they developers ran with it.

You can play outside Europe, but it's gimped, completely. This is especially true with mods, which the game supports. That being said, the game is a lot of fun, and it's possible to play AND win as any country. Playing as a Middle Eastern country could be a challenge by the end of the game, while countries like the Aztec Empire were severely crippled and had no hope of victory without incredibly gamey tactics. In EU3, their major advantage was in technology: Europeans started at the same (or lower than) other civilizations, but progressed much faster than anyone else. This WAS the age of Europe rising to power, after all. In Europe and North Africa, almost every country is represented outside, it's not quite as accurate.ДЄnother issue is that the game's rules are set up to favour the Europeans. Players have sometimes complained that countries that should exist don't, or became part of an ahistorical country, which was done for game balance. You can play as any nation, although the game isn't always very good at representing nations outside Europe.
