EVERY MAN A KANG

Aight, after playing some hundred hours of HOI3 and EU3 I finally bought EU4 in a steam sale to play with some other guys.

First of all: jesus it is easy.
Where I struggled to reach even small goals before I easily fuck everyone over in Eu4.

However, something odd occured in my first singleplayer game as france

>Unite the french nation, annexing smaller countries, driving off the english scum back to their island
>going to war with basically everyone around me, annexing everything
>get a really good general, let him lead an army of 45k men.
>while I got some allies, everyone east of me, including the HRE, nearly all of italy and a lot of other states around join in a coalition against me
>while they start a war with nearly 350k troops against my alliances ~150k I fuck them over one by one with my OP general till they lost over half of their armies.
>as an ally of spain I enter in a war with Marocco
>suddenly, an army of about 20k maroccan peeps appears in the south of france
>I send my OP general and his army of ~35k men left into battle
>despite being on my home turf, with full offensive layout and full morale the army that killed about 100k enemies gets buttfucked by maroccans
>coalition starts assault again
>England joins in, I get excommunicated
>Spain peaces with Marocco and breaks alliance

So I loaded an older save ( about 10 years before) and started all over.

>I see my chance when the english army is in Ireland, declare on them and manage to barely beat their navy
>while their army is trapped in Ireland I conquer the entire english isle
>I peace and get London + Wessex
>Expect the coalition to declare war
>instead, one by one, the coalition members leave Burgundy alone, claiming that they see I no longer pose a thread.
>even when I annex large parts of Burgundy, suffer from overexpansion and 2 huge rebellions the coalition doesnt form again

Can anyone explain this?

People in Europe largely don't give a fuck what happens in England.

ye, but why does a coalition that formes because of the threat I pose and my aggressive expansion disband as soon as I capture the capital of another big player, especially considering the overextension and rebellions caused by it?

I just dont get it, they would go to war with me when I declared against a 1-province-state noone had any relations with but not when I take goddamn London?

Again, they don't get anything from it, it's kinda weird.

How the fuck do you do anything as Greece with the HPM mod? Fucking Russia at 200 relations and an alliance still won't back me trying to liberate Greek cores on Turkroachia, the only war I tried was for Moroccan al Rif just to do fucking something and the French, who were neither allied nor had Morocco sphered intervened just before the Moroccans would have surrendered and made me lost the war.

Fuck, Greece is tough but goddamn Megali Idea! I want it so bad!

GPs can intervene in wars if they're friendly with the country, they don't need to be sphered

HOLY SHIT BTFO

r8 this piece of shit

what the fuck did you guys do after I left

Turn crises on at the beginning and use that system to get your land back.
Boost relations with GPs so that they're more likely to back you.

why is /gsg/ so dead
