More EU4 Played Games

Europa Universalis Games Played in 2018 - 2019

- Played a Karaman game
- Used some cheats at the start of 1444
- Conquered all of Turkey
- Reached mid-game. Stopped at this point because the game became boring.

- Played a Bulgaria game.
- Also, used some cheats at the start of 1444
- Conquered Balkans, Greece, Serbia & Bosnia areas.
- Created a vassal, Georgia, across the black sea.
- Reached mid-game. Stopped at this point because the game became boring.
- I remember uninstalling this game, when I was overseas.  Then, I committed some time playing League of Legends, which eventually drove me into helpless depression due to constantly losing games.

- Played a Mong Yang game. Formed Shan.
- Conquered all of Burma, Malaya, Sumatra, Madagascar
- This game is still on-going. Passed the mid-game.
- Have been getting boring several times.
- Yes, used cheats during the course of the game.
- WHY DO I USE CHEATS?   Because the AI behaviour is too repetitive.   When you play EU4, the AI of every country collectively teams up against you.   

Example:   During my Tunis game, when Castille was losing the war for the Iberian Peninsula, Castille conveniently becomes a Junior Personal Union of France.   This does not make sense, given that I had previously allied WITH France to fight Castille in an earlier war.

It is as if the game's AI is programmed TO SIMULATE A WORLD THAT PREVENTS THE PLAYER FROM BLOBBING, instead of simulating world history. 

This feature creates the sour taste of this, otherwise, magnificent game.

WHEN I USE CHEATS, I USE IT TO DO THE AI'S ACTUAL JOB, WHICH IS TO SIMULATE HISTORY. 

ALSO, WHEN I PLAY, MY GAME-PLAY SIMULATES HISTORY AND I DO NOT BLOB.
