Suck it, Atheist-tard (this includes all Christians)
The Skyfather is real in EU V!
Glory to Dyeus Pater, us Aryans have not forgotten the mission you tasked us with!

>>2368215
She's stunning

>>2368215
Honestly we need an Aryan messiah to restart a true Aryan religion dedicated to Dyeus Pater without any of that semitic crap

>>2368198
this new stuff? will be handy for anbennar

Yeah, it's the stuff they have been showing for mechanics for turning the Byzantines back to the old Hellenism.

Finally, mana.

You know how you can play minesweeper in EU4, well now you can play Imperator in EU5

aw hell naw nigga what the FUCK is this
Even byzaboos know that this is dogshit and not how Byzantine culture and identity worked at all, who is this for???

>>2368552
Maybe it just means 'modern' infantry based armies called legions vs heavy cavalry based?

>>2368198
My guess without reading the DD's is that this will work like omens from Imperator, right? It's very unnecessary, especially now that some time has passed and there's lots of criticism from players saying this game prioritizes autism over fun, but if the devs' goal is for this game to be Turing complete then I guess this is a fine addition. My knowledge of Byzantine history sucks, but from what little I know I'm not aware of there ever being a major revival of Greco-Roman paganism in the region.

Yeah, guys, I think I will shelf this one for a couple years. I played about 7 campaigns and halfway through realized it wasn't fun at all.
If Johan doesn't change his mind about whole simulation thing, I don't think I'll be coming back
I...I think I got filtered. Hope the game will not get imperator treatment, but I don't know how can paradox even salvage it without rethinking the whole game. If it doesn't happen, the only audience they will still have is simulationfags, yes, all five of them.

Cookie clicker mini game is not a simulation of anything

Imperator feels nothing like EU V.
It's a much smaller, tighter game. Everything system feels like it's connected in some way.
Meanwhile in EU V everything is a mess, from the UI to the optimization.

>>2368535
Well it's a secondary part of the DLC, they said the main pillars are more state management and short term survival

>>2368681
What? I genuinely like imperator, it’s the best game paradox ever made (if you use invictus)
Stop putting words into my mouth and dicks into yours

I'm almost impressed. I didn't expect EU5 to turn into fantasy this quickly.

This is a Byzaboo update and it's entirely themed around the idea of the Byzantines re-forming Ancient Rome, including Latinizing and going back to Greco-Roman paganism.

I could almost understand this in Crusader Kings, but by EU's game start, that ship had fucking sailed.

In fact, if you've studied history at all, even re-forming Rome as the Byzantines in that time period is a bit absurd. It was actually the Holy Roman Empire that showed the most interest in putting Humpty Dumpty back together again, and the Byzantines kept blowing them off because they were barbaric Germans. The Byzantines were totally contented to wallow in their own decay and corruption while the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire slowly turned into the Mayor of Constantinople.

>>2368754
>including Latinizing and going back to Greco-Roman paganism
The "latinizing" part makes zero goddamn sense, after two thousand years of Rome, there is nothing that makes the Latin language more Roman than Greek, they wouldn't start larping as toga 1st century Romans, they ARE Romans, Greek speaking and Greco Roman culture Romans. That identity was never up for change. That whole system should have been focused on the influence of the "Latins" (contemporary Venetians, Genoese and other Italians) in Byzantine society, either because of decline (Latins getting more concessions, possibly converting to Catholicism to get help from Western Europeans etc.) or because of resurgence (annexing parts of Italy and having to deal with the new Latin sphere of the Roman Empire in Constantinople). Being Greek in language and culture isn't up for debate.

Is every country going to get it's own special retarded meter like Latinitas vs Hellenism or what?
If they wanted to give countries national ideas they should have done that instead of "societal values" that's just a shit mechanic.

>>2368788
Only those that will get dlc. So be ready for anglo/french meter for england, hre/italy meter for north italian states and slavic/western meter for russia (as if lol. russia is not a thing in eu5)
Also, pretty sure that's a boy

>>2368198
In their defense, it's part of an expanded easter egg you are totally free to not pick.
I'm glad they didn't put this meme mechanics in the vanilla game, this is what DLCs are for.

>>2368793
Roach vs human meter for turks lol

>>2368793
>Also, pretty sure that's a boy
How do you know?

>>2368552
The Oriental Greek Despotate stopped being Roman with Heraclius. Cope more, byzancdl.

>>2368766
You will never be roman, Johannis Turkopolos. See >>2368886

>>2368751
Heaven forbid people want to change history in their change history game
I want something even stupider, I want mechanics for making Zoroastrianism rise again

>>2368894
Dlc in five years minimum
Until then be happy with converting through “all religions allowed” game rule and having no special mechanics or advances
No advances really boggle my mind. I understand some african tribal phallos cult not having them but no advances for romuva, norse, zoroastrianism, nestorianism judaism and I am pretty sure sikhism as well
I understand paradox wants to sell their shit, but they could at least throw some bone.

>>2368552
The heretic oriental greek despotate of constantinople is not and will never be roman

Byzaboo here. Imagine renouncing the one true holy catholic apostolic Orthodox Church. This is dumb.

>>2368917
I mean, they did for a short time. But everyone hated it, so Constantine XI rescinded the union

Too many spergs in EUV threads getting mad over a video game LOL, they prefer everything to be 100% realistic so that the fun is removed

Didn't Johan himself whined about
>Legions and toga wearing being unrealistic after so many years

You guys see paradox is trying to get people to work for free on their shitty game and recruiting directly from reddit no less. 10 hours a week, written reports, NDA, and of course no pay.

https://www.reddit.com/r/EU5/comments/1s57t9j/eu5_is_looking_for_beta_testers_apply_here/

They should really implement some kind of concubine system for non-christians. Seeing Ottomans and China lose their dynasty for x-th time because they marry only one woman in her 50th is quite annoying
Like if there are no male heirs upon ruler’s death, game spawns a young character of that dynasty
Or they can fix ai marriage logic, but I know that this is a high order for our brilliant programmers at paradox delhi

>>2368894
Its idiotic adding such meme flavour niche shit i when the core gameplay is fucked up

>>2368972
Modders added on launch day a system such that AI countries generate spouses if a member of the royal family remains unmarried for too long. I dont understand why Paradox dosent just copy it

>>2368974
Everything is working as inteded, bar bugs.
No, I am not being ironic here, this is how the game was envisioned.

>>2368540
Is it even supernatural? The last line states that it's your dudes making shit up in response to natural phenomenon.

Listen, I love Gemistios Plethon, Ficino, and Bruno as much as any other esotericel, but their Renaissance neoplatonism wouldn’t have looked anything like classical greek religion sacrificing hecatombs of cattle to Zeus. If anything it would simply be a greater degree of syncretization betwern platonists like Proclus and Porphyry with Christianity and Hermetic astrology. They’d believe in a transcended One and believe in a heirarchy of angels/daimons. Plethon was a little more into invoking the names of the old gods, but still wanted to combine it with Christianity, giving them the status of angels or intermediaries

>>2368198
>turning your religion mana into miracles
It does make sense.

April 1 paradox talks indicates they realize how retarded it is, and they're going with a less retarded implementation.

This is based.

.t routinely plays Zoroastrian revivalists in CK3.

Wiping out Islam is my favorite thing to do in that game.

Total Mohammadian death needs to happen IRL. It's a crying fucking shame that pedophile warlord fooled any Arab savage into following him.

instead of having deep gameplay
just have manually added "flavor" for every country...

I've not touched it in crusader kings but ever since they mentioned bringing back Hellenic religion for EU5 i've said I want it for Zoroastrian stuff as well, maybe I should give it a try in crusader kings

the only DLC I have is tours and tournaments, do you have any recommendations for what DLC might be relevant for Zoroastrian endeavors?

There’s a country where you can retvrn and worship Dyeus Pater in his most antiquated, unaltered, and Aryan form: India.

I could feel my connection to the ancestral steppes and the smell of the cattle, our ancestors lifeblood, as I took part in one of the annual poop fests and was nourished by the healing powers of bovine urine. It was a truly divine, Aryan experience my brothers.

As a Christian, I’ve literally never seen a Muslim disrespect Christ. In fact I have witnessed the inverse, they always have a great deal of respect for him even if they don’t consider him to be God.

Jews on the other hand? They’re always disrespecting Christ, and I have witnessed this not just online, but offline as well. Every Easter Jews show a seething display of hatred towards Christians while I have heard nothing but good wishes from Muslims IRL as lent coincided with Ramadan this year. (Passover and Easter coincide every year yet Jews choose that time of interfaith convergence to seethe about Jesus.) So while I have many issues and theological disagreements with Islam I simply cannot ignore my own experience of the disrespect shown by Jews towards Christianity compared to Muslims.

>>2376607
This. Jews act like you killed their parents if you tell them Merry Christmas
