It is pretty easy to play, so of course there was a bot you could use to play the game for you. <a href="https://www.mfbot.de/en/">This bot</a> is actually what got me my first experience with Linux, when I figured out how to run it on a Raspberry Pi 24/7.</p> <p>Roughly a decade later and with a the experience required to make and not just use programs, I wanted to give back to the community and make something, that others could use and maybe get them interested in programming themselves.</p> Wed, 22 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000 Unknown https://marenga.dev/eu4-unlocker/ https://marenga.dev/eu4-unlocker/ <p>EU4 is a fantastic game. When trying to earn achievements however, the super convenient load game option is locked. As a result, the community has developed a habit of manually relaunching the game. In a campaign, that requires <a href="https://youtu.be/pb7zkemd74k?t=18015">a lot</a> of these restarts, the time to do this can quickly add up. Another game in the same engine, (CK2) has an additional mode called Bronzeman, that does not limit the option to save and allows certain achievements. That made me curious how hard it would be to enable some sort of Bronzeman in EU4.</p>
