* GameBreaker:
** Firearms against low-tech enemies, especially in ''II''. Combat is divided into two phases: fire and shock. Before you gain fire value for any of unit types, fire phase is skipped for your armies. Fire phase by default mostly affects morale. So for half the combat low-tech armies are doing ''nothing'', while getting their morale wrecked.
** Artillery in all parts, especially early on. It can turn sieges into relatively short affairs, since the scaling of artillery-to-fort ratio is pretty low at this point and it will take AI quite a while to fortify adequately all provinces. And that's assuming AI has tech to improve forts in the first place. Starting from ''III'', artillery can double your combat power, as it gets positioned in the second row of fighting armies. Since AI can't really compose proper armies nor utilise artillery at full efficiency, it can quickly turn wars into series of curb-stomp battles. Especially since artillery is '''not''' affected by culture group and everyone gets the same guns with tech progression.
** Inland trade nodes in ''IV''. Trade nodes with access of sea can be affected by and with privateers and general use of ships to gain control over the market. With proper tactics and national ideas, it's possible to control more trade with fleet than by directly controlling provinces within the node, especially if numerous nations compete each other. Inland trade nodes draw entire control power from the provinces within the node, so controlling all of them provides a nation with monopoly ''that can't be affected by anything'' by outsiders. This of course provides considerable profits with almost zero investment in trade power. Special mention goes to Kraków and Xi'an trade nodes, which are at the game start almost fully controlled respectively by Poland and Ming and nothing short from extensive conquest can change that.
*** If outsider nation sends its merchant anyway, they will gain a small fraction of control, but it's negligably low and AI will rarely try doing this, having already limited resources.

** The biggest and most divisive issue for ''IV'' was probably introduction of colonial nations. The moment player colonise specific amount of provinces in arbitrary decided regions in Americas, Australia and New Zealand, a colonial nation is automatically formed from the colonies and from then on works as a vassal, while each new colony in that particular region will be automatically handled over to the [=CNs=]. For some players it is enough reason to ''not colonise at all'', treating them as money sink with zero monetary gain, while others love the fact [=CNs=] build large armies the mother country doesn't have to pay for and then provide them as expeditionary forces whenever asked.

* ScrappyMechanic: While the fandom is extremely divisive about ''Europa Universalis IV'', at least one thing can be agreed upon - mana system is just badly implemented. Or rather not mana itself, but the way it is gathered. To perform pretty much ''any'' action in the game, you require specific amount of administration[=/=]diplomatic[=/=]military points, with growth based on skills of your ruler - ''which are randomly generated and you have zero influence about''. You can increase the skill with appointing advisors, but they cost ''a lot'' over time and you also have zero influence on how good they are or what bonus they will grant, often hiring absolutely useless people for loads of money just to mitingate the atrociously bad monarch. Republican governments in theory allow you to pick what kind of ruler you want, but they are almost always [[CripplingOverspecialization one-trick ponies]]. Latest expansion, Rights of Man, slightly improved the situation with certain types of governments and giving general ability to abdicate and hisinherit your oldest child (saving your country from truly incompetent monarchs), but it's still about managing absolutely random outcomes and thus far from perfect. And there is nothing worse than being stuck with string of bad rulers, over which you have no influence.
** It was proven long time ago life expectancy of a character depends on their skills - the better they are, the shorter they live. Which means you can end up with bad rulers lasting for well over ''70 years'' on regular basis and completely forget about keeping all those great historical rulers alive pass their late forties, even if they often enjoyed long lives. Starting as Spain under [[RoyallyScrewedUp Carlos II]] can in fact have ''worse'' results than it happen to have in real life.

* JustOneMoreLevel: This trope could easily be renamed "The ParadoxInteractive Effect". Especially since the game runs in real-time unless the player pauses it, and there are a great many things going on at any one time, so it is much harder to pin down a moment to quit - by the time that war finishes, there's been a rebel uprising on the other side of the country, and after your transport fleet got sunk you have to recruit more troops to replace your losses, which have to be consolidated before your neighbour declares war again, and then..... you get the picture.
