so much more fun to me than eu iv was. i love that your actions as a player are guided by geography and politics rather than a mission tree. and i like mission trees! it is very complex and i don't understand all the mechanics yet, but that's part of the appeal. it feels like a deep simulation while still being fun to play, which is exactly what i want from a paradox game.

the issues with it are what you'd expect: questionable ui design, obvious bugs and typos, and mediocre ai. but it's already really fun, and if paradox does what they usually do and improve it drastically over time, this game is gonna ruin my life for real
