Don't lie, you still don't understand it.

[Luka]

I know how it works: big number defeat small number

[KaiObelisk]

This is funny when you consider EU5 is almost certainly Project Caesar, meaning we get to start all over again when it comes to trying to understand.

[erhansolhan]

I feel like understanding the terrain usage to your advantage matters more than unit pips.

[loganbrisson]

Me having a eureka moment when i realized 1 full artillery backrow matters more than 200k infantry

[AdrianoFerreiraPaes]

Big number + moral + discipline + tech does It for me

[astillia]

Once you realize that friendly forts make your attack always get the defensive terrain bonus you feel like God mulching people in mountain tiles.

[wlos]

Im some what of a EU4 Combat system expert myself....

LET'S GO GAMBLING !!! 🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲 🗣️🗣️🗣️🎰🎰🎰💲💲💲💲🔥💯💯💯

[TurtleShroom]

I literally know nothing about "unit pips."

Here's what I do know:

1. Don't cross rivers, attack in mountains (unless point two) or attack from a ship.
2. Wait until the enemy sieges your castle and attack there, that makes the enemy the attacker and hits him with penalties.
3. If you do not have a general leading, you will lose unless you have twice the men of the other guy.
4. Point two will almost always throw the war in the way of the person NOT sieging the castle.
5. Bigger number beats smaller number.
6. You will always roll worse base dice rolls than your opponent.

I feel like combat is not that complicated in eu4, it's just not explained properly. I guess thats where the meme comes from.

[xpendabull]

almost 900 hours in, still have no idea

[Dumb_Cucumber]

Never thought of doing this cringe tactic of winning battles, I always go with ”they can’t kill all of us” and ”random idea groups go!” tactic

[hititmanify]

so i go in with my big army on loans and the enemy crosses river gets 1 reinforcement and lucks out on 6s while my boi gets shelled.

[daanhoofd]

If you fight french on land you lose. All you need to know

[lagrandeaquilaemorta]

As hoi4 player who has completed all the mods and has 700h i just bought eu4 and i feel inevitabileness

[deseanlothian]

Me who just started; Feeling worthy because this is the first eu4 video the algorithm bestowed me.

[braindead]

The best part about this is that it doesn’t matter at all if you have one more stack than the enemy

[skitzany]

Also army comp, very easy but so important, and most dont know about it

[del]

For me it's: Big Discipline beats Small Discipline, big number beats small number

[AlefeLucas]

the way I play eu4:
choose whatever role-playing i want to do.
cash
manpower
sailors
stability 3
prestige 100
legitimacy 100
add_loyalty estate_nobles 100
add_loyalty estate_burghers 100
add_loyalty estate_church 100
assign all privileges that increase loyalty and influence equally
army_tradition 100
navy_tradition 100
army_professionalism 1
leader 12 12 12 12 (repeat 2x)
admiral 12 12 12 12 (repeat 2x)
event 700 (repeat 6x pick first option)

and then occasionally do
