What country will you guys play first on launch? Mine's Poland since it's my country. Then I'll probably try out Byzantium.

Also, am I the only one surprised footage of the game is still embargoed given YTers have had access for ages, and we're less than a month out from launch?

Content Creators are starting to do polls on where to play so the videos should start coming soon.

We are also getting a Tinto Flavor on Austria this week, and another on Poland before release. From the gameplay video from Zlewikk it was shown that there are unique situations covering the struggles between the Polish crown and nobility (szlachta), and that it makes the estate loyalty drop hard.

I would probably go Brandeburg into Prussia first since it's my most played country in EU4. It's just so much fun.

Was just about to post it, this is the most extreme flag autism ever seen in a paradox game. "Our flag researcher is an expert in the field of academic heraldry who has been working with Paradox for several years now. They are a trained historian with a master’s degree in medieval heraldry and protoheraldry, and with that incredible background they have been able to provide EU5 with a scientific approach to the research of flags and coats-of-arms to a level that few people in the world could."

Here's not even half of all the flags present in the post

I didn't realise Portrugal had mini-castilecastles on it's flag. Thanks paradox.

I want to try out Burgundy. I know they were looking into ways to recreate its ascension without it being too railroady, so it'll probably be the best way to stress-test their design philosophy if it has enough content.
 
If pops are a big performance issue, I guess you could just wipe out America, Oceania, and chunks of Africa to help boost it. But that will only help in the early game since the other parts of the world will continue to grow.

Please dont suck, EU5. I want to believe paradox can be great again.

It looks way too good to be true. It's Paradox. There's going to be a catch somewhere.

My prediction is that the game will be good, but performance will be ass and the AI will be completely unable to play the game leaving you to easily snowball.

My first game will be one of the Italian tags as is my tradition with PDX games (except paradoxically Imperator). They are small enough not to overwhelm you with mechanics at the start and there's enough stuff going around to keep things interesting. After that, depending how confident I feel about my grasp on the game I will either play Byzantium or one of the daimyos. On my shortlist there are also Ilkhanate hordes, England (for the hundred year war mechanics) and HRE minors.
