QUOTE(Davidtcf @ Nov 5 2014, 12:16 AM)
gave up on EU4.. really too difficult for me.. give me more stress than pleasure.

-perma placed my 2 diplomats on France and Aragorn coz earlier they decimated me.. had to reload to do this to avoid OP France invading my country Castille.
-managed to explore south america but have all my fleets sunk due to attrition
-only 1 troops there.. encountered natives slowly slaughtering me. unable to colonize due to unable to build port yet to make it nearer (closest is 234 range..require diplomacy lvl4 now only 3). problem is they keep slaughtering each time I try to get to the closest coastal city...
-then suddenly.. ta-da.. gunpowder makes my troops useless.. i chose the 1st option coz wanna save 300 gold.. suddenly so many peasants revolt appear in my country.. kill 3 stacks.. 3 more appear..

sien d rage quit. Playing on Easy mode + bonus also can end up like this. I'd rather not play anymore. Back to other good old strategy games.. don't mind them being more fake at least they are fun and not giving me so much stress.

Most probably due to being overly aggressive on the colonization/expansion. Rebels can be reduced by increasing local autonomy or releasing the states you captured as vassals.

Technology has to be focused as well as each increased tech level really helps make things easier. Also, early on, you can't colonize as your ships can't reach that far. Go slower and look out at the tooltips.

If possible make use of cheats. It really helps. A lot of these things strategic/tactics involves trial and error plus patience.
