Roman empire in eu4

[markdb92]

I am currently thinking to import a ck2 save with roman empire. So how does this compare to ck2, Is taking over the world easier or harder? What are main differences between this and ck2? My empire religion is Zoroastrian and culture persian. Zoroastrian faith had the priesthood restored and persian lands retakened. I know its not a normal roman empire but is nice.

They're totally different games. Technology is far more important, and the only character you need care about is your ruler and heir.

EU4 is designed to penalize rapid expansion, so you might find it frustrating to try and take over the world - you will get "overextension" penalties until you "core" a province and make it part of your empire. The more provinces you conquer at once, the worse you'll get revolts, and the more provinces you own, the slower it is to integrate new conquests into your territory. Colonization doesn't run into these problems, though.

Your religion and culture won't matter that much - you do get penalties for not accepting cultures and religions in the game, but you can convert both (using missionaries for religion and administrative monarch power for culture).

Harper you hit all the major differences on the head except that the army in eu4 has no levies and your basically just using the equivalent of retinues from ck2 with a limited manpower reserve pool to replace casualties, but the converter takes that into account and gives you extra units to replace the levies. Mercs are almost identical to the regular army but are more expencive, have their own manpower pool and recruit faster.

Also i think changing chulture takes diplomatic points not admin points (admin point can be used for coring though)

So I should take what I can in ck2 before converting over then I guess to have Europe and parts of asia and africa then. When I looked on wiki sites I noticed the religion I picked would make me the only nation in that so that may help a lot in eu4 for war cbs. If I killed off muslims and christians in ck2 save would they be dead in eu4 or there be just pockets of them left?
