Make wise decisions and avoid being taken over by the opposing nations by managing your Antagonism Limits in Europa Universalis 5.
Europa Universalis 5 works on the core concept of developing your home and invading other nations. How you’d like to approach the game depends entirely on you. You could decide to be one of the good nations by helping the weaker ones, or you could straight up be a menace to society.
But if you do choose the latter, you will increase the ‘Antagonism Meter,’ pushing other nations to have a grudge against you. In this article, we will look at what the Antagonism Limit in Europa Universalis 5 is.
Antagonism Overview in Europa Universalis 5
The antagonism meter in Europa Universalis 5 acts as a justice meter, which reacts to how aggressively you choose to play. As you begin to occupy more land or attack mindlessly, the antagonism towards you will grow from the other nations. Eventually, they will have more animosity towards you and join forces to take you down.
After every peace deal is brokered, you will understand the amount of antagonism you are adding and the total amount generated so far. Ensuring it is below 50 is important, as exceeding this number will land you in a tough spot. Antagonism stacks per country, with multiple nations choosing to form the union once the threshold is crossed. This will ultimately lead the nations to take action against you.
How Antagonism Is Calculated
Depending upon your actions, the antagonism meter is subject to change under the following conditions:
| Antagonism Changes | Leading Factors |
|---|---|
| +50 | If you attack a country |
| +40 | If another country shares culture with a country you have attacked |
| +35 | If another country shares religion with a country you have attacked |
| -4 | If you make development within a conquered land |
| -4 | As per the diplomatic reputation |
| -1 | As per the administrative efficiency |
