Dude, read the changelog. Sure, the map looks prettier, but if you really want I could just steal the fonts and borders and stuff from that and upload it for us all to download.

I don't care about anything about but the map.
The name is simply Map Improvement so I thought that was all it was.
(Though I have played with it and I didn't notice any other changes so, lol).
Paradox's vanilla map is just such absolute crap.
Excellent choice, lad!
OH yeah, and WoN should be dropping around end of May, which is nice. Finally PLC will actually have an elective monarchy, too, instead of being a half-assed "Noble Republic" thing.

As in you pick monarchs?
before 1569, it should have been elective, but within a dynasty.
Dunno, but likely, the devs kinda mentioned it off-hand. At least it works better than Noble Republic.
Since EUIV doesn't use real characters or anything, it's kind of impossible to replicate dynastic elections/tanistry; you just have to imply whatever method of succession is being used. Since EUIV represents the Commonwealth and the PU between Poland-Lithuania separately, it's decent enough to have the former as an elective monarchy, and the latter as an ordinary monarchy.

Lithuania as monarchy clearly makes sense since they did not elect the duke, but it was assumed whoever was elected as the King became intronised as the Grand Duke. Until 1569 it was unwritten rule, but later it became the part of the written law.Since EUIV doesn't use real characters or anything, it's kind of impossible to replicate dynastic elections/tanistry; you just have to imply whatever method of succession is being used.

Though I wonder if EU series will ever represent decentralisation of PLC when the magnate oligarchy became dominant. At some point magnates could field individually bigger armies than the royal one, and virtually PLC broke into sphere of influences controlled by few families, which later allowed Russians to assume indirect control.

If this is still on, I guess I'll go Muscovy.
Have fun getting cunt-punted by Ottomans and hordes!
Oh, and WoN comes out late May, so soonish.

If I concentrate on Novogrod then play it safe against the hordes, I can do rather well for myself actually. Especially when I start to tech up.
I'm switching to Ireland.

Uhhh... which Ireland? There are several OPMs you can choose from, + England.

Tyrone then. Good choice.
Guys, please AAR it. I won't be able join myself due to justified circumstances of real life, but I'll follow the shenanigans.
More's the challenge.
This is EU4.
Playing OPMs is more about luck than any actual challenge.
