CthuluIsSpy: Getting into EU4. I tried playing it before as England and I got really lost so I dropped it.
Then I started as Spain and it was so much easier to get into.
In true Paradox fashion the world map isn't at all historically accurate. Austria owns Burgundy, England has colonies in Colombia and Friesland tried making colonies in Colombia and Florida but I kicked them out because I wanted those. Portugal somehow got over to La Plata. I don't know how because you need huge colonization range, but the AI was probably cheating.
I'm actually waiting for a bit of a discount before I purchase EU4 and I can't wait for it. Did you know that you can import your CK2 game into EU4? In fact, you can play a "Grand campaign" of Imperator > Crusader Kings 2 > Europa Universalis 4 > Victoria2 > Hearts of Iron 4. Amazing stuff.Then I started as Spain and it was so much easier to get into.
