This is a first-turn guide, detailing what to do when starting a campaign. This guide, by contrast, assumes you know nothing about Paradox games. For most people, this is where the Paradox Interactive experience ends - lost amid an endless procession of menus that sap your will to continue and a wiki that actually has a transformation matrix on one of its pages. When you’ve put thousands of hours into a game, it’s easy to forget how intimidating it was the first time you fired it up. There are worlds and worlds of Europa Universalis IV strategy guides, and every single one of them assumes that you're a top-level expert looking to break the game over your knee.
