EU4 is easy enough for faggots and SJW to get into, so Paradox is pandering to them now, and also they are dumbing their shit games down even more, so even more people will get into them.

Just look at the direction EU4 is going:
Introducing more African nations that can not be colonized anymore, implying therefore that they have some sort of civilization. Replacing the words "primitives" with "less advanced civilizations in Africa". Obviously "women in history".
And you can bet Vicky 3 will be full of this shit as well.

Don't use tutorials, read the in-game tooltips, hover your mouse over everything to learn about it.

Best start with a large European land power, like Russia, Germany or France. Once you understand the basics, play as Union of Britain and learn how navy (CVs kill everything), airforce and naval invasions work.

Remaining "interesting nations" at the game start are all fun choices for a medium-experienced player, although Canada and National France really require having good luck with what the AI does.

There was a game called War Leaders: Clash of Civilizations which was supposed to be a mixture of GSG and RTS. You could play as one of the main states of WWII (including Hitler's Germany). It looked promising, but they fucked it up.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the Blitzkrieg series, World In Conflict: Soviet Assault, HoI and Age of Empires games. For fun I recomment Overlord and IS Defense.

Germans win WW1. Germans beat back the Bolsheviks in Russia and then partition it. UK and France fall to syndicalism. ACW2 happens during the game between the US, Pacific States, fascists and syndies. WW2 happens between Germany, syndies and the old entente eventually.

The general idea is Germany won WW1, managed to stop the Bolsheviks but couldn't stop a socialist uprising in Britain and France.

The makers put a lot of thought into how the world might play out. So the Commune of France isn't just the Soviet Union in France, socialism developed along French and British philosophies rather than Russian. Hence "Syndicalism" rather than Communism. They start out more democratic than Russia but you can steer them in that direction.

I have enjoyed Vicky2, CK2, and EU3. I liked Victoria for a while, but lost interest because of the railroading (kek). CK2 was great fun, but since Poostan was introduced things have steadily been going downhill. The constant dlc (portraits, music, units) drove me nuts and didn't help at all. EU3 was a fucking blast except for the horde mechanics which were retarded as fuck. I played maybe two or three games of vanilla EUIV but I wasn't a big fan of the mana system and haven't picked it up since.

It makes the map look ugly though, even more so no they've made it even bigger. The new areas they add aren't even well developed.

>>72361885
First he goes into a detailed explanation of why Rome was great, and explains legislation changes all the way up to Marcus Aurelius (can't quite remember where he starts his books but it's just before the Age of the Antonines), which aided in its fall. Because the books are about Rome's fall he starts off explaining each and every emperor from the son of Aurelius, Commodus I think, and goes into certain events and influences which shaped each leader and how the transitions between them take place (so far that's only been assassinations and revolts, not too far into the books). Also briefly explains contesters in the arena; last thing I read was about Persia.

It's not so much one grand event as it is multiple causes, but in the end he apparently blames it on Christianity, and that comes very late into the game, far after Western Rome fell. This is true, but only because it divided the Hellenists and the born-again.

If you want to pin the very moment the snowball started rolling, it was actually caused by a woman. Commodus' sister attempted to assassinate him and told the assassin to yell "The senate sends you this!" He failed, but it poisoned Commodus' mind, causing him to forego his duties as leader and to take part in self-indulgent games, in the Colosseum, which eventually earned him a revolt. He had also spoiled and neglected the emperor's private guard, the Praetorian Guard, and so from after his murder they called the shots, even though they didn't deserve the title; they were shit at their job.

The legislative changes mentioned earlier did not cause the fall, but when they aligned with kikes like Commodus it led to disaster. Rome never recovered
