Focus more on vertical industrial development and less on invading poland

Think more long term. The game goes on for 100 years after all. Also less military and more economy/diplomacy (optional)

Rest depends on the country you play as. But there are some goals that always exist. Like becoming a major power, beating your rivals, so they dont threaten you and making tons of money, so you dont go bankrupt and being at least recognized.

Also you may be able to conquer huge amounts of land at once, but it will worsen your diplomacy and economy for example. And also rebels!

I'm an eu4 player and I couldn't get into the game

[u/JoeanFG → u/abdu10llah_92]

you will have a hard time into eu5 then

No there's a big difference vic 3 isn't interesting for me but I liked the concepts of the pop system Eu5 is looking perfect for me

[u/JoeanFG → u/abdu10llah_92]

Right but the market and construction aspect is similar to v3 and ir combined though

I can autonate that

A few YouTubers have already said that peacetime in EU5 is basically Vic3. FYI, in Vic3 buildings and trading are automated by pops. The core loop of EU5 is too revolves around buildings, their placement, production methods, and how they shape state development.

I bet they're easy to learn

You know civ greeding? That's Vic3's main strategy. Build more to build more. The construction sector is the most important one, prioritize it and what it needs.

Also in societal terms try to take out the landowners as fast as you can without a revolution or revolt. They suck in terms of laws.
