that's what makes it fun
you're supposed to get constantly fucked over.
You just have to make contingency plans in the case of being fucked over

use primogeniture, spawn a massive brood, assassinate undesirable grandchildren. You can't lose.

I'm pretty good at EU4 and got CK2 in 2014. Have never played a single full game. Played Ireland twice as a tutorial nation and haven't played it since. It's a shame, I really wanted to like and understand the game.

1.Money is more important than any other resource
2. Always keep a buffer of a 400-600 in coins incase shit goes down.
3. Always marry your daughters matrilineally.
4. don't fuck with Muslims unless you have a powerful ally ore can at least pull 15k troops.
There you can now win 80% of European nations.

Is this game worth it? If so, what DLC is recommended?

It really depends on the content you are looking for.
though Conclave and Monks and mystics are not worth 15 dollars at all.

buy base game, pirate the all DLC. The one most people disable is Sunset Invasion because it's dumb

>because it's dumb
>lol I want to play easy mode
Fuck off, retard
SI was needed because western europe was braindead easy

if you want to make it hard for yourself feel free to play as a disfigured retarded Muslim homosexual 40 year old dwarf in Paris or something. Getting invaded by clowns from Mexico is the stupidest thing I've seen in a historical game

>>382514632
Just try to marriage
Try to fabricate claims
Try to get claimants
Try to asassinate people so you can press weak claims
And roleplay and have fun

your greatest enemy is internal conflict, a united realm is incredibly powerful
