okay so I want to make a video testing myths/gameplay you swear by in EU4 - I need your suggestions.

It doesn't have to be evidenced, for example "the AI cheats on fort zone of control" or "Tunis with naval ideas is the best naval power in the game".

I think it'll make for a fun video!

- The percentages chance that a fort falls are lower than the number shown. - the ai of allies often knows when you're waiting for a truce to end to attack, asking you to join an offensive war just before.

Ming always Mingsplodes when you are playing outside of Asia but when you play inside of Asia it never happens on its own

John Paradox will crash your game if you make a missplay. I didn't Alt+F4, John Paradox intentionally crashed the game.

Native trading policy is the best and fastest way to colonize. When you pick it, you get far more good events and far less bad events than the other two options.

If you are in a war with Venice your allies will somehow be able to take their capital without naval supremacy, but you will not.

The AI will ignore their internally focused missions.For example AI Byz won’t ever do the 5 dev clicks to get the monemvasia trade center mission, or any other helpful mission for that matter done.

The game knows when you manually boost stab and then gives you stab loss events on purpose

Ai Russia is the weakest historical major power in eu4 (excluding Prussia and Qing because they just don't form).

1) AI stacks move just tiny bit faster than player troops. To the point that it will sometimes catch that small siege stack you left behind despite you noticing AI stack while it is still on the way to the adjacent province. Possibly bexause AI can optimise path knowing the actual travel times that player can't see 2a) If there is AI stack on the way, the battle will proceed at slower pace (through dice rolls maybe) so that the stack will manage to arrive at the last moment. And the opposite is true if there is player stack that may change the outcome - the battle will end just before the stack arrival (also you could check the same problem with sieges). 2b) Alternatively, AI know how long battle will take beforehand and simply refuse to engage if reinforcements are too far while it will join even at poor initial strength ratio if it has forces that can reach in time

Also, England/GB landing half the population of London as war enemies, but never bother showing up 1 dude as war allies, even with naval supremacy

The ai has worse financial management skills than a drunken sailor whenever it's my ally, and no fiscal problems whatsoever whenever its my enemy. E.g., the ottomans somehow accrue thousands of ducats in debt and are about as dangerous as wet cardboard when I ally them, but when they're my enemy they turn into the god of war incarnate.
