'When it comes to flavour, Catholicism has far been left in the lurch in terms of interesting content when compared to pretty much all other forms of Christianity.

Add to this the fact that the Pope himself is, by and large, just treated as another country, and not the mighty head of a faith that he deserves to be. If you are not the Curia Controller, it is a very weak religion, and if you are the Curia Controller, then it's a strange state where you actually want there to be as few other Catholics as possible so that you can hoard this power for yourself.

'In terms of gameplay, Catholicism is widely considered a poor choice of religion. Having been raised around Catholicism, it's weird to hear this ancient blast of pomp, ceremony, and politics has been a bit bland in EU4.

These detail changes for update 1.30 including improved scaling for megahigh-resolution monitors, an overhaul of the mercenary system, and improving the AI's understanding of the economy. For over a year, Paradox have been posting dev diaries about Emperor (initially referred to as just the 'European expansion) and the accompanying patch. It's a lot more complex than that, of course. Old mechanics are reinterpreted and new options are available on a freshly redrawn map of the continent.' 'Revolutions spread like wildfire, demanding action from kingdoms that donвЂ™t want to be swept up in the feverish calls for reform. 'Emperor focuses on improving the game experience for European nations, adding greater depth for the Catholic states and a more energetic and interactive Holy Roman Empire,' Paradox blast in the blurb.

And as is customary for Paradox strategy games, the expansion will be accompanied by a free update overhauling bits and pieces. It will bring new powers for the Pope, livelier revolutions, some troubling incidents for the Holy Roman Empire, and more. I go Influence last if I even use it, mostly just for another diplo relation slot and somewhere to eat points if i don't spend it on development.ДЄs with all nations, Ideas just depend on the region and their National Ideas.Paradox Interactive have formally announced the next Europa Universalis IV expansion, named Emperor. Offensive is a waste of an Idea for Papal. You also will have plenty of army tradition with the other idea groups/trigger modifiers so you spawn good generals. You don't need Offensive or Quality since Italy is rich enough and will give you 200k manpower if you build barracks. I save Defensive for last since it can slightly offset the price of having Star Forts as well as letting your northern mountain 'wall' kill off enemy invaders slowly.

You can fend off superior numbers with professional troops as well as have powerful galleys vs the Ottos. Quality is much more valuable than Quantity if you have good morale and discipline, which you can get from Religious/Econ/Quantity/Papal Ideas.

Plus the bonuses of Catholic events and Devotion makes taxes a no brainer. Econ is obvious, since you don't need ships or trade ideas if you control Genoa and Venice. Obvi Religious is good mid game when the reformation starts or for venturing outside of Italy and into Muslim lands. Aristocratic is great for boosting manpower, defensive cores, meshes well with Innovative and Economics (80% tax efficiency? Yes please). I choose Diplomatic over Influence since you don't need vassals in Italy, you need alliances and the policies that come with Diplomatic. Having Innovative with Curia Controller is quite wonderful btw. You don't really need religious early on because the reformation is quite a while away and you already have wonderful boosts to becoming Curia controller. The reason I chose these was because of Papal Ideas, the Curia bonuses and the accompanying policies (which are OP). I finished with Defensive then Influence (if at all). Personally I went Innovative, Diplomatic, Aristocratic for early game.
