EU5:Checklist/Reroll-ruler

Reroll Ruler for Stats

Step-by-Step

1. Click your chosen starting ruler, such as "Iva" in northeast Ireland.
2. Check the three stat values: Admin, Diplomatic, and Military.
3. Aim for at least 50 in Diplomatic, and ideally 60+ in both Diplomatic and Admin for the easiest campaign start.
4. To reroll: back out to the main menu, start a new game, and check stats again—repeat until satisfied.
5. If you're min-maxing, spend a few minutes for a good ruler (high diplomacy is critical for early Ireland success).
6. If you're just learning, settle for a passable set (50+ Diplomacy).
7. Once satisfied, click "Play as Iva" with your chosen ruler.

Why This Matters

• Ruler stats directly affect income, expansion, and diplomatic options.
• A strong Diplomatic stat makes vassal management easier and speeds up expansion.
• Early game flexibility is dramatically improved with a good ruler.
