Wiz didn't touch any part of CK2's AI at all. He only joined Paradox this year.

The CK2 2.0 changelog credits him with some of the battle AI improvements there.

Speaking of tutorials, did people like the MotE/EUIV tutorials?

The EUIV one was helpful, but it felt kinda like it maybe had too many parts?
I guess you can't really make a tutorial level in your kind of game...

EU4 was "Wealth of Nations": trade companies and some diplomacy stuff. Not clear t me beyond that

I really hope someone does an LP of India conquering the British Isles.

Thinking of importing India CK2-> EU4 made me instantly disappointed that the result won't be able to protectorate England (or probably setup the Indian West Britain company, either)

Besides what was mentioned, it kinda bothers me that the system treats Western as special;
for some of the Asian countries it would make sense to "Westernize" towards the Eastern group due to
contact with Russia. Similarly some Subsaharan nations really should be able to pick stuff up from Ottoman and
Muslim group neighbors.

The current system also seems to encourage some level of gaminess in play --- people doing things like tanking
their diplo tech so they can be requisite # of techs behind, or doing things like invading some Italian OPM to
get a Western neighbor on their own terms.

(Speaking of ahistorical outcomes, my current game has Westernized AI Ming --- with new system the AI
seems to Westernize a lot).

This isn't a space game, I don't need to see the planet floating there. Stick with maps.

But how will you check the visibility range of comets without the globe?

Paradox Grand Strategy: From the Carnival of Lust to the Enlightened Times (43) I haven't taken a math class since I was a freshman, but why earth would someone do that? Every single graph I have ever made had the bottom left as the 0,0 coordinate.

Roughly, that's how computer screens/graphics memory work.

It definitely doesn't make sense from a logical pov, but maybe from a balance pov it's to stop a man & wife having a guaranteed 50% fertility boost until they've had at least two children, or potentially for their entire marriage? Only thing I can think of.

Female rulers are already at a severe disadvantage when it comes to having kids in CK2, though, since they are age limited and the men aren't?

I don't think having per-state/province demographics is quite the right approach since this time period is kinda big for nationalism and formation of new Nation States. Hmm, except in practical terms cores for non-existing nations seem to play some of the same role.

So the game keeps kosher. Was the 6-day war in 73?

Or halal. I doubt Paradox would want to touch the present-day Middle East, though.
