Eu4, where the fuck do i start?

[Vortex]

I recently brought Eu4 because of my friends nagging but also because I heard that it was a amazing game despite a learning curve. But holy fuck I was not prepared, I thought I could figure it out along the way like I did with CK2 but NOPE I just ended with me being analy raped by all of my neighbours.

So fellow Monarchs do you have any tips/Strats to guide me and my country to glory? Can you help me stand the test of time?

Opps, never the the last bit, wrong game.

Step 1: Uninstall the game
Step 2: Go outside

Step 3: Play Alien Isolation instead
Step 4: Cry from the fear

Get gut Plackerei.

I've heard of this game.
Never played it myself, but apparently is just throws a ton at you to learn.
My suggestion would be to invest a few hours into just researching the game and learning how to play first.

Skim some pages on the wiki about concepts/basic things
From there, just try to figure it out as you go. I would suggest playing someone like france or castille - that way if you fuck up it isn't so serious because you're already really big.

Let's plays on Youtube. And try as one of the larger Japanese states because it's like tutorial Ireland V2.

Get Victoria 2 instead!

Nah, France is.

It's one of those European nations that's too big too fail unless you're a glorious fuck up. After the tutorial it was the first nation I picked up and played.

Could never get on with France. Maybe it was just a subconscious desire to see Baguetteland fall to ruin, but whenever I play them I always play like a retard.
Now Ryukyu on the other hand...
