Omake - If Daybreak countries were in EU4 (Part 1)

Added 2022-03-02 02:57:50 +0000 UTC

Years ago, when I first wrote Daybreak, I was still an avid player of Europa Universalis IV. I've stopped playing that game since, partly due to time constraints and partly because I like Stellaris more as a nation-roleplayer and cultural simulator. However, I still like the game quite a bit, and I often try to envision national characteristics from a EU4 lense.

I first started drafting 'National Ideas' for the countries of this story many years ago, partly for fun and partly to ponder - "what would be each nation's strategic vision?" It's a mark of good game design that you can say so much about a country based on their 'National Ideas'.

At the suggestion of some in Discord, I decided to polish them up and post them here for others to enjoy. There may be some hints in these ideas on where I'm planning to take the story -- though it's also possible you're just overreading things.

Regardless, here are the first five -- Rhin-Lotharingie, Weichsel, Holy Imperium of the Inner Sea, Cataliyan Caliphate, and Grand Jarldom of Skagen -- the big powers involved in the story thus far. There'll be more to come in the future of course, including the Grand Republic of Samara and the subject kingdoms of Rhin-Lotharingie.
