Does anybody else here play Europa Universalis 4? It's really hard and complex and it'd be cool to talk about strategies and favorite countries and stuff of the like.

I have it, but I mostly play CKII and Stellaris. I have about 15 hours logged on EUIV as compared to about 300 on CKII.

I played it several times, but it was far, far too complex and frustrating.
Usually I try and fail to play as England. Every damn time I war Scotland I end up in a war against France and then go bankrupt or something along those lines. I got tired of that, played as Prussia, got bullshitted by Poland when I tried warring it, then switched nations to Austria and took a bunch of Prussia. Suddenly literally everything started rebelling in my other regions. I put down a few rebellions, but they just kept coming. And eventually, because for some reason I owned Belgium, that rebelled and I couldn't take it back due to the fact that I lacked a navy.
TL;DR EU4 triggers me and takes way too much learning and attention that I don't have.

Funny, because I've only been playing it for a few months and I understand almost every single aspect of the game. I always find Castile hard even though it's for new players. Why? Every time you try to annex Granada, Morocco immediately jumps on you and murders you. |

You controlled Belgium because, historically, until the 80 year's war (or whichever one it is that had William of Orange) all the low countries were part of the Hapsburg Empire. |

Every time you try to annex Granada, Morocco immediately jumps on you and murders you. I find smaller countries easier to play. I had a good game going as Austria, consolidating the HRE, and then the protestant reformation happened and I got more schoolwork to do, and then a couple months later I tried playing as Venice and honestly, Venice is easier to play in CKII than in EUIV, but I guess that makes sense, as the entire timeframe of EUIV represents what was historically a time of decline in Venetian history in real life. I just never really had the chance to get into the game; every time I tried, school would suddenly get more busy, and I wouldn't be able to make time for it, so I had more good memories of CKII, so I played more CKII as a result. |

Oh yeah, and I have the El Dorado DLC, which allows me to create custom nations. Pretty sweet.

I just got HOI4, and honestly, EUIV is my least favourite of the Paradox games that I have.

I eventually want to build up to having all of Paradox's conquer-strategy-ish games (Crusader Kings III, Europa Universalis IV, Hearts of Iron IV, and Stellaris). So far, I'm doing okay. |

I thought that the ban finally worked and that you had given up. Well, I know who all those lurkers were, now. |
