what are your must have mods right now?
Sick to bastard death of being called into the hundred years warEarly on I was given the option of invading England as part of a separate war once a phase kicked off. I could actually take land and gold in the peace treatyNow I'm just France's slave that has to siege the entirety of England on my own for NO REWARD
>>2297100It’s pronounced:Partidul, Ceaușescu, România
>>2297112Killing Anglos is its own reward
>>2297097How BADLY did Seljuk-chan rape her?
Kyiv.
Peking.
>>2297116this
Nieuw Amsterdam
Basileia Rhōmaiōn
>monday in spain>still no updateKyiv....
monarch mana skills are way too impactful on the economy i shouldn't be making 200 less gold a month every time my king dies while i wait for my heir to get back to full 100 stats if they want to model internal issues after succession this is not the way to do it
>>2297154monarch stats are supposed to represent a monarchs personalities and skills. ur so silly nonny
Proximity is a retarded system and should be removed
So that's it huh? No fucking patch? Johan you asshole
>>2296448mind you i havent played in a couple weeks but in my 0.4 campaign i played the AI would just get depressed if you beat its main navy once and fuck off forever or at least for majority of the war. also the naval invasions it would do were usually like 100 fleet of transports randomly driving around with 2-3k armies and they'd all disappear from the map if you sent even 1 fighting ship after them
Fix the game.
Why did half my levies vanish? I had 65k then randomly it dropped to 36kish.
Buy the DLC.
>>2297097https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH5ccW1_DUg
>>2297171I bet you also say Kyiv.
I only play as brown nations
>>2297221nta but yesbut i also use türkiye and the osman empire
that's stupid unless you also call germany deutscheland, norway norge, poland polska, spain espana, italy italia, finland suomi, india bharat, and japan nihon
Cuckstantinople
>>2297232NVBIAN KANGZ will rise again!Also, Nubian campaigns are pretty easy right now. You have by far the strongest army in the region and can crush all the tiny muzzie states surrounding you.
>>2297246How is Ethiopia? They've always been a favorite of mine with the alt-his kino potential of them. But I feel like it's probably something best for after a regional flavor patch
Tsarigrad
I am once again asking for the patch
How do you actually do anything with privateers? I mean ANYTHING: recruit them, use them, anything. As the Knights I have the government reform that lets me use privateers, but I have no idea how to even get any, much less use them for enslavement and raiding.
>>2297232*flush*
>>2297247You start off with 400 regulars that stackwipe armies 10 times its size in mountains. Main issue is you need max decentralisation asap due to non-existent control and you want your first king to die asap so you get the event to move capital as your starting capital makes zero income. You also start off with way too many forts that kills your income and some of the worst nobility priveleges possible. You also are stuck on a timer as Yemen > Alodia > Mamluks are all coming for your ass within 50 years.
>>2297258Sounds fun.
>>2297253It's a button when you click a seazone.For me they leave after a couple of months though so fuck if I know how to use them
Kiev
100 hours in and I have not interacted with the artist system once
>>2297263I think it's meant to represent slave raiding or something so they just go to a seazone, raid and fuck off again. Maybe? It's hard to tell.
>>2297266Just spam iconographers since their art gives +10% RGO size. Only useful artist unless you're in Italy with your 20+ artists and 1500+ cultural influence by 1400.>>2297263They only stay vs rivals or those you're at war with. They also die easily to anyone with a fleet (e.g. venice or genoa). You mostly want it to reduce their maritime presence which reduces their control which reduces warscore cost of taking the provinces in wars. The free explorers and gold from the events are just small but worthless bonuses not worth focusing on.
>1560>Still no printing press anywhereWhat the fuck is wrong with this game?
>>2297281Never had that problem before on vanilla. Guessing you've got some mod conflict
WHERE'S THE FUCKING UPDATE JOHAN YOU FAGGOT
I thought they fixed natives flooding your court if you make a colony. My Scottish court now has more Massachusett Indians than Scottish courtiers at this point
I hope they stop patching the game actually. Each patch is making the game worse
>can't explore siberia because no matter how i try to jig the trades i cant get liquor into buttfuck nowhereville to be able to send my explorers>cant cancel the explorations because it's buggedepic fucking game johan truly epic

And what in the fuck happened after 1.0.4?
>>2297307I think its clear that some of the issues are system level(for example military balancing would need a total revamp of how regulars are maintained and supplied) but the devs went for some quick knee-jerk changes to try to hold onto the playerbase's first month of post release goodwillIf we're lucky they'll unfuck their brains over Christmas season and we'll start getting less panicked patches from February onwardsIf we're unlucky Johanigger will keep flipping dials from one extreme to the other for a year or even two
Every single military system in this game is fried. Land and Naval warfare suck and need complete reworks to fix, logistics are retarded and the biggest problem is that the AI won't even be able to properly function until these systems are all fixed so they can actually work on how the AI interacts with them.
>Timmy kill the GH>Timmy dies>GH territory is now broken up but they're all vassal or fiefdom of Timmy's heir>I have to walk and siege Samarkand every time I want to expandThis is horrible.

>>2297281That only happens to people who can't read.
>>2297307>introduced quality of life of noble marriage simulatorThe quality of life they introduced seems to be "people will never marry, but now you can't do anything about it".
>>2297263>>2297269Okay now having tried this a bit more, I have the reform that privateers take slaves when on raids, but even after maxing out my privateer slots and going crazy with it I am getting exactly 0 slaves from this. I should be rolling in slaves from all these privateer raids, what the fuck gives.
>Johan: you know what we need? constant notification spam you can't do anything about it>"On it, boss"
I think the game is fun!France fights a war of aggression against the HRE every 30 years. Millions die.UK is completely unbothered by this and continues their conquest of Ireland.Bulgaria blob.Byzantium exists in Athens only.Ottomans control most of Anatolia.

EU4 question. When will hindoo nations flip to hunduism? I need them to bonk muslims.
rgo distribution is atrocious and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.
why the fuck would anyone want to colonize north america? literally all their rgos are dogshit. everything good is in caribbean and brazil-venezuela. even south africa sucks dick>>2297378kek came to post this
>>2297382>why the fuck would anyone want to colonize north america? literally all their rgos are dogshit.England did it for food security, that's it.There is a reason why the french sold their north american colony
>>2297382Austrialia and NA are dog shit, SA is almost passable and Africa has some gold but by that point in game you don't need more gold.
>>2297382I'm 100% convinced they will eventually implement a system which allows locations to flip RGOs based on either tech, urbanization in a province, or a combination of the two. Like for instance NA starts with barely any metals because there was poor urbanization and minimal metallurgy practiced among native americans, but when colonization comes, population size starts to increase and there's decent tech/urbanization to support it some RGOs in areas with actual metal deposits can be flipped over to those metals and other secondary resources. Basically a gradual representation of exploitation of resources.

>>2297430Johan's a hack. He'd rather give us meaningless shitty concepts like control and proximity instead of what people really are asking for.
>>2297440Now why didn't he try out to flip the sign here? That would have been even more interesting
hey i'm kind of a retard and i need help/advice/to be told to kill myself. anyway, my problem is that i've gotten myself into a 3-way PU with norway, sweden, and france and after my previous king died, my heir inherited the thrones of all three of those kingdoms. so what now? just keep pushing as much for unification with the PU policies? i presume i won't have to worry about these kingdoms trying to get independent or assume seniority if my ruler rules every nation in the PU, right?
>>2297450seniority is decided by great power score
is there an event for kalmar union or do I just need to get lucky with marriage / conquer
>>2297452i know that, but what i mean to ask is that if i were to fall behind on great power then would i have to worry about france assuming/enforcing seniority in the PU, even though it's ruled by my king?
>>2297454well yes, he is not just your king anymore
>>2297455alright i suppose that makes sense, thanks anon. so i suppose at this point, now that my ruler rules all 3 kingdoms in the PU, i should just keep pushing unification and keep pumping my great power score up
>>2297097>play on the Arabian peninsula>it is the 1500s>consolidated all the tribes, have vassals own Yemen and Oman>the malmluks are hyper stable with 60k troops>since they are the gate way to europe, they get all the institutions before me>ottomans flipped orthodox and won't ally me or blob to the east/south>timur failedHow do I even challenge the Egyptian menace
>ai is so aggressive that imperial authority turns negative before the golden bull can even pass
>>2297456PU juniors can take over seniority if they have more than 125% of the senior's gp scorebe careful about enacting centralization laws if you aren't certain you can stay senior.
>>2297457you find a mod made by someone that has actually played the game which fixes those things, because clearly johan is paying 60 IQ subhumans to do fake QA and not double checking if their shit works right.see: navy literally hasnt worked since LAST MONTHsee: a -10% diploannex cost modifier ADDING +10% to the cost
>>2297460roger wilco, i think i'm in the clear for the time being, france is pretty ruined after throwing themselves against me for the last century and i'm not really worried about norway and sweden at all. thanks again for the advice, anon, may you have 10,000 employable labourers

Kinda weird how the humanism events are about toleration and the acceptance of new ideas from foreign cultures, yet the bonus it gives is assimilation which eliminates other cultures.

>>2297388same for the urals which had no iron mining early this game but which was developed later in games time during the 17th century
>>2297489How many of them play this game
>>2297473read the post dumbfuck johan>Granted, this just one particular peace deal, but the results were very deterministic. The AI always made the same peace deals in each given scenario, even after dozens of reloads.>I've tried the same procedure a few times now, as well as run a few observer games, and from what I can tell, increasing this variable only makes AI bordergore worse. It seems to make the AI more prone to expanding in snakey tendrils, more prone to taking isolated exclaves, and more prone to leaving enemy exclaves behind. I seem to get much nicer results just setting it to zero.

Game is still completely broken I see. Well, back to vicky 2 for another year.
In 1337 the Mamluks are at an all-time high. You want decades of mismanagement to be railroaded into the game. Otherwise why should the Mamluks derail and fail? What pre-determine them to failure, when they survived mongol and timurid invasions? Pretty much +90% of the world is likelier to fail starting from 1337 onwards than the Mamluks. Especially without portugese intervention in the indian ocean.
>>2297532>You want decades of mismanagement to be railroaded into the gameYes.
>>2297526Sir? You have to calm down. Your fat clogged arteries won't last long if you keep seething like that, sir.
>>2297532>You want decades of mismanagement to be railroaded into the gametheir government started going to shit with the unchecked rise of the mamluks themselves only four years in
>giving away toll exemption to end an annoying war

How can levies be professional troops wtf
>>2297554I think there was a bug where you could raise levies, assign that land to a vassal, then they would become 1000 troop strong regulars. Thought they patched that out
>>2297555Im on 1.0.8
>>2297558grim...
>>2297558then you can update to 1.10 beta when johan rolls out the update within an hour :)

>still no macau>still no india conquest mechanics>still no small scale war mechanic >asians and africans still get equal tech
>>2297565>mp>in a game that can't run mp for more than 30 minutes
If I build a brige in my capital - which gives -10% local proximity cost - will that propagate to neighbouring provinces? Or if I want better proximity I have to build the bridge only in the neighbouring provinces?
>>2297566and for the record, victoria 1, released like 25 years ago, had a small scale war mechanic. "colonial war" which let great powers fight over colonies without dragging the world into a total war. paradox is so fucking retarded, they literally go backwards with every product they shit out.
>>2297568Build it in your capital. You get the cost from all provinces between the source of proximity and your capital, including the source itself.
>>2297558>>2297554ye this is fixed in .09homeless levies turned into some kind of pseudo-regulars. was very funny, you could force it with civil wars too, i got 22k warbow regulars in 1350 in my england game.
>>2297568build bridges wherever possible. no reason not to.
>>2297565MPfags are delusional. Singleplayer is the main experience. Playing multiplayer only requires more technique against who you are playing against. It doesn't help you understand the AI better.
>>2297574uhhh the ai is le stupid and mp players are le smarter???
>>2297568it will affect any proximity cost tracing through the province it's built inalways build bridges and POUND lock canals in all available provinces
>>2297566>small scale war mechanichow would this work?
the EU3 mechanic where hordes were automatically constantly at war with neighbours unless paid off was kino and should be replicated here
>>2297584the mechanic where you had to spend colonists to settle their lands was annoying
>>2297586it makes some practical sense to de-nomadify and spread some actual control, but it was annoying yeah
>>2297586We don't have colonist mana anymore, expelling the nomads and settling the land with your pops would work fine
>>2297584it was the mechanic that allowed for the glory of snakehima
>>2297588>tfw papal crimea
>>2297589I'd rather long Bohemia than german blobhemia
Anyone else have this problem with better road builder mod? They just stop rendering properly
>>2297592I don't play with cheats enabled
>>2297591I'd rather nohemia, fuck 'em czecks. Need them to be railroaded into total habsburg submission.
>>2297566the macau treaty port is still one of the biggest jokes in the game considering its rng if the chinese even accept it or not
I am really addicted to this game. Its fortune its a heap of trash right now or I would jonbless -> homeless due to it
>>2297596What dies maritime presence when not used for proximity even do?
>>2297596This makes me uncomfortable because it implies that trade offices are on about the same level as treaty ports (maybe even being them). The thing you spam everywhere. They could, at the very least, make this building allow you to build more offices in the location regardless of opinion. But a location would all together be better, as it'd allow you to build the real stuff and dock ships.
>>2297599I looked it up, trade advantage
>>2297599trade advantage>>2297601its even worse than these trade buildings, the +1 trade capacity goes to the chinese tag not to portugal
>>2297601If you play as byzantium letting genoa and venice put up shop in constantinople is compare to taking ine big fat load so probably. Also the influence of the hansa represented as buildings made them able to do shit like thishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A4pplinge_murdersso yeah not non problematic
People talk about building based nations being left unfinished at release but I think the same goes for trade. There is an extreme shortage of staple goods like iron and wood, none trades in population needs and food goods just fulfill needs - you cant trade your way out of a famine no matter how much wheat you import
>>2297524># Score penalty for when AI is taking a location that will maybe cause bordergoreYou fucking retard.
>>2297532>>2297537Should be an early "rise of the janissaries" like situation which the AI fails most of the time that makes them stagnate, at least for a while. Cant be permanent or you may have no ottos or mams
Should I be afraid?
im a legumer
>>2297612Looking at those conditions, can it trigger if you are 100% liberal and free subjects?
>>2297614Yes, values has no effect, tax % is the main thing that matters you can prevent it by lowering your tax rate.
>historically successful tag X, get unique advances, events, reforms and stuff>pick neighboring tag Y, conquer tag X, you can't get any of this content despite being in the exact same situation I hate railroading btw
Remember to buy all dlcs and schedule your rog to bot up eu3 a few hours every day so paradox dont kill the game prematurely
>Court&Country disaster wants me to reach 80% Crown Power to end it the absolutist wayCome on now. I have TWO priviledges remaining to non-Commoners and I'm "only" at 70%. Surely this is impossible unless I'd literally release all my land below 50% control.Age of Absolutism has a few techs that give good crown power but the disaster starts very quickly in the age and is over in 20 years anyway if you don't fulfill the other conditions, you're never going to get these advances.
>>2297525The way they are flipping between levies being useful and complete trash over and over again and all the times when they mess up a modifier to actually do the opposite of what they wanted is a bit much even for Paradox standard. Also here a list of all the games Paradox Tinto has made:>EU5Idiot.
>>2297621the only time I can imagine this not making sense is in completely irrelevant OPM shitholes
>>2297612I let it fire and they stole my capital immediately, and destroyed all of the capital-only buildings.It wasn't quite fear-inspiring, but it's definitely annoying, and the rewards you get for crushing it are not worth it in the least.
>>2297625adopt the government reforms that increase crown powerclear out your cabinet and replace them with crown loyalistschange your laws pertaining to the burghers/clergy/nobles to curtail their power
>>2297625It just adds 20 to whatever crown power you already got and makes that the goal. The reward is one +50% multiplier. Which if you are at 70% crown power should give you 2-3 extra crownpower.
>>2297633Already doing that, except my laws aren't 100% dedicated to absolutism/crown power but it wouldn't net me a 70->80% increase>>2297634I guessed as much, but I doubt I'll get the reward now
>>2297625>>2297634also you need to effectively double your own estate power or reduce the share of your estates by half to double yours. Actually it might be easier if you reload an old save, hand out estate privileges like candy , fill the cabinet with the estate characters, create a dozen armies with these as generals and do any easy to revert actions to fuck up crown power going into it.
The game was obviously only tested to 1500everything after that falls apart
>>229762580 should still be doable without any cheesy stuff, just stack every possible modifier to the cap. After that it starts to require stuff like deleting estate buildings or releasing vassals.
>>2297638by half to go from 50 to 70% crown power*also the reward is really shitty if it is just a 50% + modifier not worth caring about
What does crown power even do? Are counting houses worth it to build?
Game needed six more months in the oven, but sadly parakikes couldn't wait that much to lay their rodent hands on players' money.
>become greate power>money stolen
>>2297645It's the core of your economic engine since it lowers upkeep cost of buildings and increases your share of trade. It also helps boost taxes.
Feeling sort of sorry for johan. Got all these failed launches and now he is forced to release a good one prematurely
>>2297645Hover on the pie chart of crown+estate powers on the top left and then on the crown % itself, it'll break you down all the modifiersmostly trade income / easier to revoke priviledges / estates are happier / parliament starts with more support baselineAnd high crown % means lower estate % which means the maximum tax % of their slider is increased, though in practice you'll most likely not be able to go so high in taxes because most things that grant crown% means choosing the option that doesn't please the estatesIronically Liberalism will get more tax income than an Absolutist, because they make estates so happy
>>2297645>Are counting houses worth it to build?I think it depends on how much crown power you got. The more you got the less every addition of additional crown power will budge the percentage of your share of it.
Its ironic that if you build a strong peasant economy, not by exporting raw materials but actually building rural industries and villages, serfdom is much better than free subjects since you can tax them a lot more
Legislative efficiency would be so much better if taxes actually took time to implement and didn't instantly change as soon as you moved the slider.
i wonder if stacking CP is a noob trap but I don't see anyone else talking about that.
>>2297662>CP
>>2297628>completely irrelevant OPM shitholesMy favorite tags to play
>>2297662It's good to build a moderate amount of it, but at some point it just becomes better to choose the options which give something elsee.g free press, Liberalism slider

>"curtail the x law">only useful if you grant them so many privileges and favourable laws so they don't mind paying 10% extra tip
I only play as Muslims and jihad my way across kike worshipping pigskins, very satisfying, especially as Timurids, Morocco or Mamluks
>>2297674The curtailment option is both good if you go 0 privileges and just remove their power (in which case the -10% is massive) or if you plan to give them lot of privileges in which case the maximum tax helps the most. The only case where it's not the best option is when you hover in the middle where you still have more than enough tax capacity and at the same time have enough privileges that the -10% doesn't matter.

>ai korea failing to take ssangseong
>>2297697it's like the inverse of that one riddle with a million variantsyou start off with 50 units and 98% crown power, and if you build 50 more units, you end up at 99%...or however that would translate in-game
>>2297699In Victoria 1, you'd outright declare war on the colonizing nation, using the "colonial war" cb. the fighting is limited strictly to which ever region the colony is in. i.e, you won't get carpet sieged at home over a trading post in tahiti. they've never used this system since.

>>2297745I guess it will happen, eventually.

Why do you hate polen so much
>>2297757they don't know their place and are incredibly ungrateful to us anglo GODS for bailing them out.
>>2297750Henry the 5th was dead too I believe so it was going to go to the baby regardless. There was no way the French nobles would have accepted it even with Henry living and Henry 6th ascending as an adult or older child.
>>2297757They unironically deport Ukrainian men back to Ukraine just for crossing the border illegally (which is illegal because men can't leave the country). A very dubious legal practice because every Ukrainian citizen is granted asylum in the EU. Sending people to die while you are hiding is a dubious moral practice

But that can't be right, because Ukraine is a bastion of liberal democracy against the evil Russian Z
>>2297792Punishing the "illegal" thing by breaking your own law, which you are paid to protect, destroys the whole idea of law being a thing at all. There's a reason why people go to courts instead of smashing your skull in when you disagree with them

>>2297805That is blatantly false.
>>2297780"The Hundred Years' War" is just a historiographical bin that all the wars in that period are thrown into. England and France were at war almost continuously between 1100 and 1815, almost from the very beginning of the Norman state not a single generation lived without seeing an Anglo-French war. I think the longest period of peace was around fifty years. From that point of view maybe the HYW situation should only end once Revolutionary France is defeated.
>>2297805Bait or mental retardation? Most countries improved significantly since the 90s
>>2297796i don't really care about that either, i was just making a point. someone who does care would probably say the same thing. as for the rot, its dumb to just point the finger at one entity. it is almost never, ever solely one entities fault.

I wonder how many people didn't know you can railroad the council of trent however you want by bribing the voters for instance.

>>2297839>>2297840it's not a set amount, but it scales based on...well, honestly, I'm not sure, and it's probably available somewhere, but I can't be assed to look so I'm just assuming it's based on how far along they are in their current research because it seems to grow pretty significantly from month to month
>>2297840I think they may mean 24% because I remember just getting 4.2 tech by this. But you may check it out.
>>2297840Yeah it's notthe actual number is >value = scope:recipient.research_progress>multiply = 0.20you get 1/5th of their current progress. So the minimum is 4. Then the recipient loses half of that.
>>2297842Still absolutely bonkers due to how easy it is to get excessive diplomats and superior sly efficiency in this game.

Has anyone at Tinto explained why cores disappear so quickly after land is conquered?Play as the Emperor, do an Imperial Ban against the French, and your only option 99/100 times is to conquer the land directly (which pisses off everyone in the HRE)
>>2297948Did they get made a tributary by someone
>>2297961I genuinely do not understand the logic of cores in eu V. They're just as bad as eu 4 cores but are somewhat similar to vic2 cores in that you gain them via the culture instead of mana.
>>2297946Since "developing land" is just building buildings as in spending money vassals are great for that.A 0 proximity land is going to sit between 0 and 20 control though realistically if you have it integrated it's going to be like 15-20. A vassal on the other hand gets at least it's capital at 100 control + bunch more depending on how big of an area you give them. You extract 20% of the vassals income + 25% from scutage so 25% of their income. Now without considering any nuance of how AI manages taxes and estates and such you can see that if you take a vassals capital area with 90% average control and apply the 25% modifier to that you end up with more money for yourself than the 20 control you would have had on the land if you directly controlled it. This remains true so long as the vassal has at least average of 80 control (weighted to where their taxes are actually coming from so their capital is outsized influence on that), which is true for vassals that are like 5 provinces max. You can still invest into the vassals lands without penalties yourself so practically this situation is without downsides for you. Except you should remember that the vassal keeps the rest of the money and then spend that to developing itself. As a results vassals are a free money glitch and incredibly good for developing land.Of course there's caveats like how AI is just dumb and it does waste some of it's cash in useless things you wouldn't want but generally speaking it's just a good idea if you yourself would have terrible proximity there. + they of course convert and assimilate the areas for you and you literally can't buy extra cabinet slots so vassals are required on that front anyhow.
>>2297946Just keep them as OPM's of good town spots.
*sweats*
>>2297457They're AI. Like all AI they will fumble their institution picks. Rush military techs and faceroll them with regulars.

>>2298011Sorry! These twelve year olds won't impregnate themselves!
Age foci as they stand are retarded. It's already impossible to research every tech in the game, so if they removed this arbitrary limitation, we'd still have to pick and choose what to go for, just like we do for like 80% of advances.Beyond that though, making these mutually exclusive doesn't make sense. Surely the Dutch irl "researched" debt and loans, shrewd commerce, and boarding parties. A societal understanding of one of these concepts does not preclude understanding the others.If they really want to force age-related decisions on the game (ignoring the aforementioned fact that research is already a scarce resource that we make decisions about), they could make it so the two foci you didn't pick during the Age of Renaissance become unlocked during the Age of Discovery etc., so it truly is a focus for that age, but doesn't create an eternal mental block on your entire population being unable to understand what marines are.
>>2298015Such a legend, he can take his time
>>2297855
>>2297965feels like there can only be one core on a province or something
>>2298015friendly reminder that paedophilia is as bad a crime as games piracy according to Johan himself
>>2298019It's definitely one of the worst decisions they made.Age advances should simply unlock the relevant tree without the institution and/or grant research bonus in that category. In exchange they could make institutions harder to get knowing that players aren't soft locked till they get them in each era. Unlocking them all after the age is fairly good idea too at least as a compromise. Another option would be that they would actually evaluate your gameplay in the previous age and then unlock based on that so at least it's a more thematic bonus now instead of just pick the thing that's good and not pick the thing that's bad like it is now.
>>2298011The climate makes people lazy. Every single hot country is a shithole for this very reason. It saps all your drive and will. Why bother being productive when you can sit on the beach sipping cocktails all day? That is the thought process of everyone living in hot climates.

>>2298031Warm climates should have a production efficiency malus
Johan said the naval issue was one single piece of code, why cant he just release that thing only.
>>2298031Based on your retarded assumptions? Majority of the human history the most advanced civilizations were living in warn and hot climates. The North European domination existed only for 400~ years, the Roman republic alone existed longer
>>2298011Is this also a problem for armies? Accidentally sent an army of only wagon units into battle and they ran away with zero losses
Sandbox
>>2298039That's a category error, Romans succeeded despite it being warm not because of it simply because north simply did not have people in it when Romans were around mostly due to how hostile to life it was without certain technological advances and just you know time since the ice age and populations taking time to grow and fill areas based on desirability (one of which is proximity to beaches to enjoy cocktails on). It's like saying burning wood is better source of energy than nuclear power because people did that for thousands of years and only recently started splitting atoms. It's a true statement but if you gave the cavemen a nuclear reactor they too would have used that from the get go, it's just that the perquisites weren't filled. Or to continue your own example, monkeymen somewhere around Ethiopia represent the single biggest time span of the human species by like 2 orders of magnitude thus making any other human civilization inferior.
>>2298039You can look up temperature's effects on human productivity right now. It's a real thing and we've known about it for long enough that importing air conditioning units was government policy in southeast Asian countries like Singapore as a means of improving efficiency.

>>2298066At least japan wont enslave pops any time it occupies a province You could try to fortify several islands and possible enclaves - the ai loves to siege those and then you can sail from port to port ant insta whipe them
>>2298066Why not just leave 20k regulars at home or temporarily raise more regulars at home
>>2298074>leave 20k regulars at homeits the same thing, AI will perfectly avoid mountains to the exact day that winter arrives but (you)r home defense command will make all your guys suicide
I tire of these never ending hugbox wars. I'm going to war exhaust capitulate naples because he's such a faggot nigger
>>2298075Just build some forts so they can't get into the interior without sieging

>>2298077>20 forts in one picture in North Italy and you did not even enter Naples properAre sieges as annoying in 1578 as they are in 1400? Seeing 8 forts in Naples was enough for me to consider suicide
>>2297457get the latest heavy cavalry you can and build enough barracks so you can have one, preferably, two armies consisting completely of heavy cavalry. Put some artillery in the rear for sieges. Build some fortresses along your border. Just place a stack on a fortress and it will beat back all mamluk armies.

>Humanitarian Administration requires 50 humanism>humanism speeds up assimilation what was the reasoning here
>>2298238Foreigners interact with natives more. Like you'd dump fine salt into water instead of a chunk.
>>2298238assimilation by breeding
>>2298238It increases the cultural capacity btw
>>2298238>>2298242The lovers labs mods can't come soon enough.
>>2298238>what was the reasoning here"Let's do religion vs humanism slider. What does it do? Religion will improve assimilation 1, and humanism will improve assimilation 2. Done, now, let's wank ourselve about cool concepts that we won't work on implementing".
Wewlad that was an intense Ottoman campaign but I'm exhausted from that gameplay. Time for my 47th Knights Templar game!
>>2298238Assimilation was considered normal and humanitarian for the longest time until it suddenly got labeled as genocide. Sure there were some who opposed it in the past like the guys who didn't want Native American assimilation. But those were just obsessive fags. Even as late as the civil war it was fairly common and normal. African Americans pretty much completely assimilated, which is why attempts at assigning "culture" to them always seem so deranged and dumb. Those wanting to fight against assimilation in modern day are desperate enough to label ghetto crime as if it is a unique cultural trait to try to drive wedges. Their mindsets have sadly succeeded though which is why most minority groups don't even bother to learn the national language in many cases nowadays.
Are villages worth building?
>>2298248i will carry on your torch and start as ottomans later.i usually hate them with a passion but even i can't bear to watch their continued suffering in every game.
Going into the hibernation chamber. Wake me up when eu5 is fixed
>>2298250Market villages and fishing villages are godly. They use your peasants so no promotion needed and turns your woethless subsistence losers into tax producing chads.
>>2298254You have some weird fishing villages. In my Byz 1400 run fishing villages were giving +0,01-0,07 profits, in some places fishing villages were so bad that they did not even hire anybody and stood empty
>>2297097Has anyone played any significant time as a theocracy? Are there any major differences between Christian and other religions? Never bothered looking at them since monarchies and republics already scratch my autism itch, but creating a caliphate sounds kinda neat unless it just becomes "Theocracy of XYZ" like Tibet
>>2298245The CK3 BNWO modders are planning to do a EU5 version so
>>2298250Unlike buildings that hire labourers you almost never need to wait for any pops to be converted with villagers. If nothing else villages turn mostly worthless Subsistence peasants into tax paying peasants Marker villages are great, they give you market capacity while saving you a village spot in a town.Farming and forest villages are situational, if you have food shortages in a trade zone they will help you at least a little. Good to build around your capital when market villages are used up to increase the share of tax paying peasants.Fishing villages produce fish and for some reason its standard production method uses ivory which at game start only exists in Greenland if you are european. Other production method uses tools which is problematic in iron lacking areas and since none trades in food in this game you will have to subsidize it to keep it open. Good to keep maritime presence high even when you cant patrol a sea spot or increase harbour capacity and don't want to build a town there. Otherwise it is pretty useless other than for easing starvation.
>>2298256You need to subsidise them. The 0.01 loss is worth the maritime presence because maritime presence = more control and more trade advantage. This isnt even mentioning the free navy levies.
>>2298267a building spot in a town*
>>2298268It's pretty useless because around 30 barques can provide the full 100 maritime presence, move between seazones, provide transport protection and even blockade shit in the game where AI spams forts. Also, they provide maritime presence not in the entire sea zone but only in the tile they are adjacent to, so you would need a really big number of villages to ever reach even 80 presence
>>2298256Have you checked their production method? For some reason they are initially set to use ivory which is super rare. As other guy said build them on all your islands and other spots not worthy of a town.
>>2298272>ovide transport protection and even blockadeand while they are doing that your maritime presence will sink like a rock >entire sea zonethey can cover pretty much every sea zone you use for routing proximity apart from the open sea ones.
Coastal forts, do we build them?
>>2298276Didn't sink for me. Around a year of fleet absence sank maritime presence in the Bosphorus from 100 to only 70
>>2298278Only if you have Tunis/Morroco as a rival because those fuckers spam privateers nonstop.
Johan.... The patch, Johan....
>>2298278If you have med ports they are mandatory.
>>2298279It would have sunk less and been faster to repair with coastal villages. And you get some returns from taxes and trade. But we all got our way of thinking.Still check that you do not have ivory as input goods.
>>2298284He will return... Just wait....
>>2298284Games can wait, he has to finish the cunny first
>>2298238Granaries just seem inferior to farming and market villages. Wont rob you of precious building slots and produce other helpful things than food storage.
>>2298278Why not? Economy is so free in this game there's zero reason to not spam everything once you research them. Universities, libraries, hospitals, forts, docks, everything
im going back to eu4 until they make an ottomans expansion with mission trees
>set up vassals to be brave frontiermen who convert and assimilate the anatolian hinterland>half if them become muslim turks>when I make them greek or orthodox they just convert back so much for that gay little larp. fiefdoms it is

Why didnt spain eat portugal irl like they do in this game?
>>2298338Portugal IRL pulled so many crazy feats fighting Castile that if the devs implemented anything similar players would complain about cheating AI 24/7. Do you enjoy losing a 30 0000 vs 6 000 battle?
>>2298338they didbut the English and Dutch harassed them enough to spit Portugal back out
>>2298338Even before the union that lasted quite a while. Portugal nearly died to Castille many times. It is why it is absolutely retarded they are forcing some hugbox thing in Iberia. Maybe for the sake of having some games resemble history, Portugal should be given a fair chance. But it should be through more flavor, maybe an event that can determine how a battle goes or something by giving buffs. Then they can potentially get an alliance with England at some point.
>>2298338They tried to a few times. Portugal pulled off some crazy victories against the odds.
>>2298343At a certain point you come to wonder if stuff like luck and the power of faith should be represented in the game. It feels like an element present in real life is missing. Some things really just happen perfectly, anyone who's lived will witness many miracles, coincidences, etc.. They'll always brush them off, dismissing the concept as "illogical". But they still keep happening. All these "realistic" systems never end up working at some point. They are missing the spirit, a breath of life. Man falls in his rigid arrogance.
>>2298250Market villages are good my friend.
>>2298353Lucky nations should absolutely be an optional game rule.Randomly pick a couple nations on each continent to give some OP buffs to
>>2298342well without any kind of mechanic castille will eat portugal 100% of the time because of the way the game works
>>2298355Obviously options for none, random, and historical would be there. But it could also be cool if it was possible for there to be a mode where some ai or something will pick different nations at different points to be lucky. Like it will take a liking to a different nation and get bored of a previous one and start giving the new one buffs.
>>2298353how would you even make something like that into the game? also losing your uber strong army against some shitty stack because the game forced you to would make a lot of people ragequit
>>2298353dice rolls and morale respectively
>>2298362Different set for each age then?
>>2298371I think that is something that would probably be available with every option for dynamism.
I wish there were more random monarch deaths, every single one lives to the late 60s early 70s and has grand or great grand children. I don't even get to name any kids because they're all grown by the time they ascend.

>converting an 18 year old hindu with the power of 61 year old english chad BWCBased.
Why won't the printing press spread? It appeared in southern France and has completely avoided my lands except for Burgos and hasn't spread from there.
>>2298362>But it could also be cool if it was possible for there to be a mode where some ai or something will pick different nations at different points to be luckyEU4 already had different historical lucky nations depending upon the date so this isn't even that much of an extension
>>2298385Because Spaniards can't read even in the 21st century
>>2298385This happened in one of my gamesPrinting Press didn't escape Tver until the mid 1600s
>there's no way to prevent your colonial subjects from constantly going to war with one another, totally fucking their control upAre there even any historical examples of the colony of the same overlord going to war with another colony of the same overlord and annexing it, with the overlord doing jack shit about it? I can't think of this ever happening. it's like if french louisiana annexed french canada or some shit
>>2298398closest thing I can think of ishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemmican_War
