Leviathan has broken pie charts somehow
Is he that funny tho?

Finally, a bug-free version of Europa Universalis!
1.31 in nutshell
Can't believe they had the gall to post this not even a week before Leviathan's buggy launch

A new bug - can't join the HRE as the Emperor
It took the community one day to find a bugfix for savegame crashes
Updated the game, my top tier Hungary run where I controlled all of the Balkans and had a PU on Poland just disappeared. Get your shit together paradox.

Leviathan, Colonial Region Statistics and Biases: Pre-Colonial Australia is more developed than the Inca Empire, says Paradox.

Posted: 29 Apr 2021 02:37 AM PDT

So, changing subject from the hundreds of bugs and unifished textures, let me bring up some very bizarre things about the actual map changes in Leviathan ~~Warships~~, ''Free time projects'' which were front and centre portrayed as a keystone of the patch that was to come alongside the expansion pack.

As some of you might remember, i made a similar post on Golden Century, but the Anglophone bias has only gotten worse, believe it or not Just like i said then, the development stats indicated that the EU4 team seemingly doesnt give a rat's backend about CNs that dont speak english in the modern day, and voila, Leviathan made a USA + Australia patch. Despite the absolute state of South America in EU4.

As for the development numbers themselves, through the use of custom nations, i measured the development of colonial regions yet again, and the results are complely beyond the pale. Here are they: https://i.imgur.com/FCafUSy.png

Your eyes do not decieve you. Colonial Australia has more development than Peru, the beating heart of the Spanish and Inca Empires. This is the kind of bias that would make the most wild of balkan nationalists blush. I already elaborated extensively in said biases in my old post, but this is now getting well into utterly comedic levels. Many of these areas didnt have a single urban settlement, compared to the many hundreds of those in modern Peru alone. Canada is also wealther than Colonial Peru somehow, i guess all those fur traders had some real nice hidden cities in the tundra.

The USA bias in development grew even more relentlessly, with the Thirteen Colonies continuing to be the worst offender. I've seen 4th of July parades less proud of the USofA than Paradox, who made just the eastern seaboard have almost twice the wealth of the Inca Empire before contact. Louisiana also got a buff for some reason, despite being throughly underdeveloped and of no interest to colonizers throughout the timeframe. South America was abandoned to rot yet again, except of one monument. Speaking of, fun fact! South America is the continent with the least number of Monuments in the game. Just one. As i said two years ago:

And in the end, this is why North America has twice the number of Colonial Regions, and why Iberia did not get a ''proper'' update, as well as its most important Colonial holdings: EU4's modernity biased view of history, and colonization as whole; we cant forget the entire ''Colonial Nation'' model is explicitly based on the 13 Colonies. As far as the EU4 devs seem to be concerned, Spain's biggest impact in history was getting its galleons stolen by Pirates, losing the Netherlands and colonizing Florida. But of course, its not just about history; this isnt just some nitpick about army uniforms in unit packs: These biases are what, in the end, make Colonization feel wierd and unfun from a design standpoint, and i hope that, when those aspects get an actual look, the look isnt centered around the Thriteen Colonies or Australia, but on the greatest empire the world ever until then, and the one that defined the timeframe: The Spanish Empire.

Thanks for your time reading this, and apologies for any grammar mistakes.

TLDR: Check this image image out ; EU4 devs still dont consider Spain/Portugal, or their Empires, to be of any actual relevancy or fun to play, mostly due to modern day biases, Leviathan only made it worse. Also, what it says in the title on the post.

BjornB's post on the forum's earlier today, as well as the Hoi4 devs reponse to criticism of the Poland dev diaries brought to light many of the unsavory parts of this community. People are giving death threats to devs, criticizing in bad faith, and saying other generally awful things about employees of PDX. All of that is awful. None of that is acceptable for this community. However, that should not distract us from the fact that Paradox deserves very serious and legitimate criticism for Leviathan.

I dont need to point out whats wrong with the DLC so I wont. My point is that dont let the death threats and other bad faith actors out there distract you from how bad Paradox is acting right now. I am dumbfounded that they released a product of this quality. This is leaps and bounds worse than Emperor (which I didnt realize was possible). Dont stop posting good faith criticism just because some small part of the community is acting in bad faith. Paradox needs to do better.

Leviathan Hurts Man.

Posted: 29 Apr 2021 05:55 AM PDT

I wanna start this by saying I'm not a game dev. I had to make a text based RPG in college as part of a class, but that is nowhere near the same as making a game as complex as EU4, other strategy games, and games in general. I have so much respect for the people who can do this for a living and thank them for making content I will enjoy. With that done, I will not get to my point.

I am upset, like many of us are I am sure. We are used to shaky and rough DLC launches in the Paradox community. From Megacorp in Stellaris to IR way back at launch. Even Emperor back in early 1.30.0 days. With the drop of Leviathan however, this is a whole new level. There are bugs upon bugs upon bugs, with more being found every day. To the point where just one Hotfix won't save it. It will most likely take multiple patches and fixes just to reach a point of stable play. That isn't why I am upset. I am used to this and know that eventually it will be fixed. I am upset because all Paradox is doing is feeding us the same excuses over and over. Rather than trying to have a proper open dialogue, they are just handing out the same "We understand this is not what you expected and we are sorry" and I'm sorry but that won't cut it this time. We paid $20 for literal unplayable garbage. Rather than offer a refund or something to ease the pain, they just say "We need time." Okay, that's fair. Like I said above, I am not a full time game dev. I understand they need time to do things right, but leaving us out $20 and unable to play EU4 unless we roll back (Which doesn't even work for some users based on a couple posts I've seen).

Paradox, we have been loyal fans for many years. I for one have played your games for almost 10 years now and to this day still recommend your games to friends and family. I got one of mine into HOI4 and another into the CK series. Now I can't do that in good faith. If this could happen in EU4, it could happen in ANY of your other games. Maybe this is just a once off REALLY bad launch. Maybe this'll be the new norm for the games that launch. I don't know. I only know one thing. Some of the player base is mad. Some of the player base is neutral. Some are even enjoying the new DLC I bet when it isn't crashing! The one thing we all feel right now though, is hurt. Hurt that a studio we supported for YEARS, doesn't even give enough of a shit to give us a nice apology and offer anything other than a "wait". No offer of refunds to people, no offer of compensation to users who have lost saves they may have spent multiple hours if not days trying to complete. Nothing. That my friends is what hurts the most. In a month, maybe we will look back on this and laugh as EU4 hotfix version 1.31.X has saved the day, however, the most likely situation is that this will create a new level of distrust between us players/consumers and Paradox.

The list of bugs in the current patch is almost aw inspiring. Below is just a few to give context:

Crashes on launch, missing icons and UI, save losses, unable to join HRE, mana points of rulers being in the thousands (if not more), elections not occurring in republics, the Majapahit(spelling) disaster not loading at the beginning so you can never do the mission, generic ideas in most of the new formable nations in the specific (which if that is game intended is not cool for new formable nations), canceling monuments in other nations or speeding up their construction, assets still having placeholder text and symbols, AI not accepting deals even when the positives outweigh the negatives, saves being lost, and the list goes on. I could sit here for 3 hours and still probably not name them all. If you don't believe me, just take a walk through the Paradox forums on scroll through the EU4 subreddit for 5 minutes. Here is a link to a megathread of all the bugs for those interested: Leviathan Bug Megathread

I am mad. I am disappointed. I am disgusted. Most of all I am hurt. Hurt that a company who promised a great DLC didn't even do the bare minimum in play testing everything. As of now we don't have a direct source to place the blame. Do we blame the devs for not doing their job and doing subpar work? QA for not properly testing the new DLC for bugs and issues? Maybe the shareholders for forcing the game out before it was done? Regardless of who it is, we can all agree that Paradox fucked up. They royally fucked up and probably lost users over this. If I hadn't already invested so much money in DLC over the years and love EU4 as much as I do, I would drop this game and never go back. Paradox. We never asked the world from you, just working and fun DLC. If you told us "We need a few months to polish things up to give you a great DLC, please wait," I for one would be fine with this. Upset I have to wait but it would be worth it (hopefully). Instead, you rush it out and expect us to pay for non-playtest trash. You expect us to pay $20 to be play testers rather than do a beta or hire players to test it! Not even hire, just offer a handful of users a Beta code to try it and give feedback! Like you ask for our respect when we give you feedback, please show respect to us as well by not offering the same cookie cutter answers over and over in response to the buggy launches of DLC and test your damn DLC! I encourage other members of the subreddit in joining me with sharing complaints to paradox. If you haven't spoken up yet about how you feel, do so. Be it here or on the Paradox forums. I may even copy this post over there later after work. Thank you for reading my rant. Have a lovely day and may your provinces have no unrest.

Tl;Dr: I'm tired of Paradox not giving a shit about users when we have supported them for so long. I just want them to show us the respect they want from us. Rather than that, they give us a buggy mess and aren't willing to do basic testing before launch. If they just asked for more time to fix things, most of us would've been fine with it since it shows they wanna give us quality content. I'm more hurt at this point than mad. Paradox, please shape up.

Edit: I am trying to post this on the EU4 forums but keep getting an error for spam/it being inappropriate. Any idea why? I remove the swears and still get it. Even when doing a post with a link to here it doesn't work. Any help would be great.
