- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Have you tried EU5 yet? (Also what's your favorite countries to play?)
I have not tried it yet. My favorite play through is starting with freisland and neing the netherlands. Then i can stop the British empire. Ive beem playing that game since the time it was just europe. I showed my kids the game when they were like 8 and 10 and they didnt get it at all. Then, randomly like a year later they just started playing it with each other and learned it by themselves. Bow the older one is 15 and i cant even remotely compete with him in the game. Luckily, and this is one of the reasons i like the game so much, is its easy to cheat. Right now im playing with the younger one who is 12 and we are native americans. We cheated a little to not be competely destroyed, but its been a blast because its so different, yet the same. Im still paying for 3 subscriptions for eu4 and have for the past 1.5 years...
LOL my friends and I took years to learn how to get good at the game, props to your kids for learning it so young!
