first
wide as an ocean, shallow as a pondgoing back to total war
>>2208757a toast!
>>2208783wide as an ocean, deep as an oceanWe won.
Lads we are actualy playing eu5!
I genuinely don't understand how the markets work. How do I know what to build to make the most money?
>>2208757>>2208784image limit hit me so I will use the image I wanted to attach initially
It's actually not bad wow
>form Europa>dynasty name changes to UniversalisVGH Johan, you've done it again...
>>2208789This, sometimes my economy swells and I get rich. In fact it did it while I was typing this post so I had to pause so I can try to find out why.
>>2208794let them occupy aquitaine, just defend calais and shit, pick off small armies until you get a good warscore, then whitepeace
>>2208757>>2208790My main criticisms right now are that:1. The gameplay is dry as fuck 90% of the time2. The parliament system is fucked and needs some amount of rework.3. If they're going to lock non-euros out of certain standing armies by tech, they should be more generous about giving out custom units. The maya get fucked over compared to the aztecs because they can't build temples unless they flip nahua. Not surprising that they get less content on release and I think the devs picked their priorities correctly, I'm just autistic.WRT point 2 especially - the core concept is fine, but the 5 year time limit is totally arbitrary and locking basically any wargoal that would justify annexation behind it is dumb. The restriction on which legislation you can put forwards is also dumb, and it's super dumb that it can exist as a mechanic and then you can totally bypass it to grant/remove privilages by spending stab-mana to change laws and revoke/grant privilages anyway.It feels like it should be a mechanic that you constantly have to engage with whenever you do anything rather than a button you click every 5 years - similar to CK2's council voting. Rather than parliament magically deciding to invent a claim for you, you get a claim via spying and then you need the buy in of the estates in order to declare war.Then either you get their approval, or you get fucked on stability and massively piss them off for overruling you, leading to antagonism up to the point of maybe even joining your enemies if you declare a war the nobility/clergy disapprove of.It would also skip the stupid fucking parlay of legislation that you get where a vote to build roads is actually a vote to build roads and magically claim a province and raise taxes and grant a privilege because otherwise nothing happens for 5 years.
AI ottomans moved their capital to Constantinople and pretty much killed themselves
seems that the cabinet action to convert pops only lets you promote religions in your groupany clue how to encourage growth of heathen pops?I just want my Christian state in Asia
>>2208791it's not BAD, but will it still feel interesting after 2-3 playthroughs? the economy loop of Vicky 3 got repetitive real fast, bit worried EU5 will be similar albeit not as egregious
>>2208801outstanding move
>>2208799>whitepeaceYou can easily get 50% warscore, cancel their guarantees of Scotland and take their money
>>2208776I'm so fucking tempted to buy it. I've never bought a game on release before, never pre-ordered and I know paradoxs horrible reputation, but I've been following this game for so long and deep down I know it's garbage but I still really want to see.
we are so back
>>2208801If you want achievements you force the AI to always be retarded in DHEs, btw
>>2208803vic3 is the most boring paradox game ever. eu5 is way more complex and fun. >will it still feel interesting after 2-3 playthroughsdepends on the person. same can be said for eu4. mods should help bring more replayability
>>2208807It's literally exactly what it looks like. If you want to buy it you'll probably like it
>>2208807pirate it and if you like it, buy it
So, to get my provinces cored, I need to accept their culture? Like if I'm the Ottomans and conquering Greek lands, I'd need to accept Greek culture? And how exactly do cores compare to EU4 here? I need to core to be able to get more control, or can I achieve that without coring and just with infrastructure?
Are scriptoriums the real money-makers in the early game? They seem to be the sole source for books, which seem to be in very high demand, until the invention of the printing press
>>2208807theres a torrent floating around out there
I really tried to enjoy this but it's just so fucking SLOW and im constantly forced to build another of the 999 buildings for some minimal gain, this isn't gameplay, this is just torture.
>>2208826>slowgood>muh buildingautomate that shit. real men dont micromanage the economy
>>2208807Get it, but the new patch is coming tomorrow so maybe wait for that
>>2208820yeah accept their culture or convert them to yours but that seems to take forever early on
>>2208822Depends on the area but they're usually a good bet. In my experience they're not the best but they're usually in the the top 5 returns on investment.
look at this absolute swagger of a young man
>>2208822I think your market just has a book shortage, it should stabilize over time and become less profitable
>>2208796The automated markets always tries to maximize value, but it seems to leave out supplies that are in high demand but low supply at home. I.e Castile is always lacking in fruits, gold, and fine clothing, but the AI doesn’t import any usually because it’s not as profitable I guess. How should I approach this to keep supply up to par?
which is the best culture to genocide early on?
>>2208801That actually make a lot of sense on why they do nothing in timelapses
>>2208828Slow as in the fucking ticks take YEARS, I cannot play because the month takes 10-15 seconds.>just automate iton one hand sure but on the other its the classic >player will optimize to get the best possible result even if it's obnoxiously annoying, leading to them quitting the game rather than settling for the second best thingparaphrased the phenomena obviously.
What is the quickest easiest way to learn this game?
>>2208845the tutorials
>>2208829I'll do that
>>2208837there's a button that lets you 'lock' the import so automated stuff cant touch it - I guess you just grab what you need, lock it, and let AI fuck with the rest.man I fucking hate this game
>>2208835Most markets seem to have a book shortage, though I'm only 10 years into this game
>>2208846lol
>>2208833What are your top five investment portfolio in this game? I don’t know what I’m doing and just building things that say it’ll give money in places the RGOs are.
>>2208845just playfailing is ok, go ironman so you will have to follow through with your decisions
>>2208849That makes sense I suppose, coming as a CK3 tard, it’s a lot to take in. Fucking hate CK3 now so I’m more than happy to jump into a new EU. Didn’t really like EU4 even as I was getting the hang of it, but this one seems like a breath of fresh air for me.
I had to destroy 6 banks because they became unprofitable
>>2208803EU5 has EU4s good military system and diplomacy system to fall back on
>>2208842>Kil'd by several accidents
>>2208856anti-semetic, you should have minted
>>2208854Nta but I put autosaves on every 6 months thinking it is probably enough to savescum. But then I’m having to live with the consequences of my actions 2 years ago and it’s ruining me. It’s pretty fun ngl.
>>2208845Pick a slightly isolated country close to a major market and automate basically everythingTurn the AI off one step at a time as you feel familiar with what you've already learned.I'd say Naples, Bulgaria or an Irish/North African Minor would all be good starts
MOVING IN WITH PHASE 2OVER
are the conditions for winning the 100 years war completely incomprehensible to anyone else or am i just sleep deprived
>>2208866KEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
Why are there so many impassable islands? I think the most annoying one is Chagos.
>>2208870no it's fineeither you need to boot out England from France + consolidate your vassal land under the French crown, or as England you need to own at least 130 locations in France
The game is a crashy mess, not even pirated either
>>2208878havent crashed once
Hey, guys. Johan here.Any changes you guys want in the next patch?
>>2208870You either need to fuck off from mainland or own 130 locations on the mainland or form an union with france.
>>2208392I have reached an age and income in which the opportunity cost of constantly torrenting new versions of a game is higher than simply buying it and letting steam update the thing.>>2208614Damnit, all that normie-unfriendly parts that you described are actually making me want to buy the game even more. The only things stopping me now are the bugs and the unoptimized performance that >>2208405 mentioned and others have described
>>2208881add lgbt characters
Anyone got any idea why I can't add this region to a colonial charter?
Is there a blank world map yet? I want to blob but I dont want to play the game
>>2208881Add an expel the jews button like in CK2
>>2208878I played 120 years without a crash
>>2208884Wrong thread, oh well.
finally the real voices of gsg are being heard
>>2208871and what happens if he gets excommunicated?
>>2208881add poland
>>2208879This for me too. And my specs are below the minimum.
>>2208801>orthodoxyin my game they also converted, it will probably get fixed at some point
So with the proximity mechanic. Is colonization useless now?
>>2208896Nothing
Cultural assimilation is way too strong, 100k welsh pops turned english in just 5 years.
>>2208812that actually happenedhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Albania_(medieval)
>>2208895>shitters being filtered because they actually got challenged for once instead
>>2208903If you want to keep the lands for yourself then yes.>>2208908It's a fake reddit post.
welsh was always more of a fashion statement
>>2208881Add a music player plox
>>2208884>constantly torrenting new versions of a gamehasnt been a thing in forever for paradox games
>>2208911add mission trees now
>>2208905B B B BASED. Sorry Johnny Bach from Llanŵrdrwywyn, you WILL speak English.
>>2208911>it's faaaaaakehttps://www.reddit.com/r/EU5/comments/1op2jzu/comment/nn9ud31/?context=3
We won.
>>2208807pirate it and if you like it, keep pirating it
>>2208783>going back to total warbait is supposed to be subtle
If Johan adds mission trees I will personally 1605 sitges
I don't understand combat. I'm Ottomans and I have a levy of 9000. It goes up against a Bulgarian level of 8000 and gets absolutely crushed. Like the morale just ticks away in a few seconds while theirs only drops to about 95% of its max.
>>2208920Yes it's a real post in reddit but it's a fake reddit post. The substance isn't about a real issue posted by a real person.Like if I said that EU5 summons succubus to fuck you if you buy 666 premium editions. That's a real line I just wrote but that doesn't mean it's true.
>>2208932their army is probably alot higher quality, more cav, etc
try assigning a general
>>2208932terrain is really important, did you attack into mountains?
I actually really like the slow pace. As Milan, after hours of playing I'm still in 1360s and every small italian city I conquer feels like a real gain
ITS OUT
>>2208932Can be a quality difference like >>2208938 said, plate knights for example only take 50% shock and morale damage. Another thing could be an imbalanced army layout i.e. you only have a few guys on one flank and they get rolled immediately by the enemy.
>>2208776Ok what the actual fuck... My consort is.. a rebel????? it says hes a rebellious prince, but on the rebels tab there's not even such a tab. Is he a rebel in mecklenburg or what? his character tab doesn't say anything. Why isn't this info on his character page? AAAAARGGH
My specs are better than the recommended, other than ram, I only have 16gb. Will that matter?
>>2208947You may be able to launch the game, good luck having chrome open though lmao
>>2208946>on the rebels tab there's not even such a tabsuch a faction*
>>2208947I'm running it fine (with paper map) with 16 ram
>>2208946what a bitch of a wife
>>2208946>anon accidentally downloaded the shoujo mod
Bit of a nitpick but how did they not think of adding a shift+click/ctrl+click to 10% change or max/min slidersSeems like such a minor thing that previous games have had
someone post a screen of the AI having done somethingi take it no one's had the guts to play on very hard setting
>Perm starts the game with a nearly perfect ruler againIs this a historical thing or is someone on the dev team just doing this for a laugh
>>2208783>going back to total warBahahahahaha
>>2208932personally i only take offensive battles if i out number them or if i know my quality/morale/discipline/tactics are highernever attack into bad terrain, and always try to take defensive battles AI really likes to sit on your forts and if you walk into your own fort while they are there, it still counts as a defensive battle for you which is big
>>220894716 works for me fine, but pirate it and try it outNo reason to buy shit blind
can i make cute fuckable girls in this game or is playing the sims limited to ck3
>>2208952Good. I was going to play paper map mode anyways.
it's not that bad...
this isn't ck3 you can't fuck anybodynow please go back to your gacha hentai game containment thread in /vg/
>>2208969My internet has been crap lately so I'm not even sure if I can torrent. I'm talking 5mbps and I live in the UK.
>>2208970A lot of the girls are quite pretty and I'm sure the genetic system is still present. You sadly can't seduce everyone yet though.
>>2208964Pretty sure we've only got records of Permian rulers from around mid 1400s, so EU4 just barely made the cut for a historic ruler, but even then it's not like anything more than their name and maybe one detail was knownOr that's what I remember of when I looked it up once upon a time years ago
>>2208960I am playing in Ireland right now (started as Clandeboye and formed Ulster so far, it's about 1370) and the Irish minors are almost all gone, most of the island is split between me, Clanricarde and the Pale.Scotland has declared on me with "force tributary" twice but never actually landed an army leading to white peace both times. England is getting ready to do the same thing and I fear they will be much more aggressive.
>>2208964Finno-Ugric THUGS are about to buckbreak Rusnigs and Mongols
>>2208896free CB
>>2208888could someone with 2000 hours answer this please :(
>>2208888>already in 1500show
>>2208992Just have a PC with components that are from after the 2010s?
Fitgirl is up
>There are fit girls in this thread right now
>doing good in 100 year war>war score is bugged and not going up after any battleFucking hell
>>2208994i have a great pc i just dont play that fast. you must be clicking away every event and just living on 5 speed
>>2208977Once they add some extra character interactions, then there will be no reason at all to ever go back to CK3
Is the intent to be deccing mostly no CB wars with Parliament-issued conquest CBs mixed in, or is the intent for conquest to be slow enough that it's ideal to only use those Parliament-issued CBs?
>>220892171% on all languages though because of russian and chinese reviews
>>2208992speed 5 afk baby
I managed to explore and settle on a remote island, but how do I actually get it to do something? The settlements just say "The building cannot function if the location does not have market access" but I'm pretty sure it does have market access given that it's apparently exporting sugar?
!!
>>2209019I wish we lived in more enlightened times
>>2208970>>2208977I genuinely think this game would benefit from loading it with certain CK3 mechanics (not all of them but some) given it already has CK3 lite systems in itIntrigue stuff like murder plots, activities with temporary regency (like your leader going on a pilgrimage to increase opinion with the head of religion), imprisonment and ransoming, and wards and wardens content would especially make good DLC. The skeleton of these systems already exists, like regencies and your leader commanding an army and being able to die in battle.
>>2209019That's it, I'm dead
erm
so annexing vassals isnt a thing in this game
>>2208964Having "Roderick" as the dynasty name should tip you off he's not historical.
where's the timelapse button?>>2209029it is, right click on vassal and start annexation
>>2209029but it is?
>>2209024You can assassinate characters. Another interesting thing I found is there is a dynasty view too where you could potentially even see back in history. I found historical rulers by clicking back through the dead parents of the ruler too.
>>2209029Wdym?
>>2209033>>2209032>>2209036
>>2209039skill issue
1444 mod dropping when bros
>>2209003Pretty muchUnsurprisingly not much happens in the new world. I've basically just been expanding maize RGOs for 200 years
So I think I fucked up. I went to a war and won, but my professional soldiers were depleted, but the manpower pool was really small (like 350) and I had like 500 soldiers. So needless to say, my manpower is zero and my solders are replenishing slow af. How can I raise manpower to prevent this from happening in the future?
>>2209048manpower isnt worth anything in the start. its all levies
>>2209048build more army buildings (your early economy will struggle to support this)
>>2208944Feel bad for this guy, going from 1 layer of hell to another hoping it'll be better.
How do I turn off construction automation? I went into the buildings tab and turned off automate construction and automate production and the fucking game just started building a market village without any input from me. This shit is annoying.
>>2209049>>2209050What should I do myself to keep morale up then since it’s all levies?
nani
>>2209048it doesn't matteryou probably have like 10k levies and 500 professional soldiersuntil you start going professional army full time manpower is irrelevant
>>2209054It's content creators like him that ruined Total war
>>2209056Your estates have their own funds and can build stuff on their own if they’re influential enough.
>>2209046>maize
>>2209057church estate policies and spiritualism
>>2209056One of the tabs in the top right corner where agenda is has all the automation toggles
>>2209062Ohhh, you're right. It's one of the nobile factions building shit.>>2209068That's good to know. Looks like everything is turned off. I only let automation touch my military maintenance.
Wtf
So building hospitals in big nations is just a complete waste of time right?
>>2209074Imagine what could have been if NovGODrov united Russia instead of M*scovy
>>2209072>nobilepost pics
>>2209077i used to do that in eu4, might try it after i'm done with my england run
inb4 2nd day patch fixes the game
>>2209077imagine what couldve been of carthage united the mediterranean instead of r*me
>>2209075Yes
I think I might start an UK->Asia colonization game to make some cute hafus
How do you deal with privateers? Patrolling seems to do nothing
There's still no patch? All the countries I want to play are non-functional because of shit like broken claim throne cb.
this shit makes so much more sense than having standing armies of like 20k stacks in the 15th century what were they thinking with eu4 lmao
>black death barely touches france>fucks england up bad>black death ends>france occupying every province in england
>>2208808barf
>>2209091see: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/tinto-talks-87-5th-of-november.1867301/
Omfg its so fucking retardeded>if you colonize a neighboring province normally it takes 10000 years, gold and resources (which you might not even have and then nothing is moving but you are spending gold)>ooooooor you can give your council an order to encourage migration in that region beforehand, wait for 1 month until they send 1000 people (if its a relatively uninhabited region), THEN create a colony charter and colonize it in the next month instantly..
>>2209064I swear to god these fuckers eat 10x their body weight in corn each day
>>2209094As it should have happened otl
>>2209098i wish they didnt send workers thowhat the fuck
>>2209092>what were they thinking with eu4 lmaomaking an EU for the retards who started playing Paradox games with CK2
how do I lower inflationI'm not minting anything but number go up anyways
My parliament is refusing to let me form a town for free and it is annoying. Now I have to save up.
playing japan in MP and letting my european friends colonize me haha ....
>>2208944What is wrong with the total war community that he thinks that paradox players are welcoming and open minded?
??
>a lot of people talking about parliament mechanicsis everyone playing england or does everyone have parliaments?
haven't bought the game yet, is there any good lets plays or streams or whatever of someone playing the Golden Horde or another "army-based country"?
>>2209108do you produce too much silver/gold?
>>2209114everyone has parliaments
forgive me yaweh, for i have sinned
>>2209114Everyone has a parliament. The just go by different names per country, but it’s all essentially an estates-general meeting
give me a fucking blank map
>>2209123This brings a tear to Johan’s eye
>>2209123nubile swedish virgins are currently headed to your location
Has ANYONE had an artist produce a work of art?
>>2209132no
what do you guys currently have your cabinet members set to do
How do I get more jews in prague? The number keeps going down
>>2209136integrate province and develop capital, but idk if that's optimal or even good. at least integration should be optimal, but it's been decades and it hasn't finished yet... should've just made more vassal friends
>>2209140Do unaccepted pops even grow?
>>2209140idk my banking empire hasn't had a single jew, so it hasn't been running optimally.they are all staffed by italian burgers
>>2209132you need to commission artotherwise he just gives you random events for some bonuses
Are you able to kill certain populations or kick them out or anything?
>>2209148Tbh wops back then outjewed even the actual Jews
>>2209151you 'encourage them to leave' peacfully.
>unpause>in 6 months i get a disaster and everyone around me declares me a rivalthis is my 1st campaign as well KYS KYS KYS KYS KYS KYS
>>2209150It is really nice how you can take prestige reducing decisions even when you have none.
>>2209165pick disastrous nation, get disasters
>>2209165try playing an easy start like Bohemia or Holland
>>2209165Simple solution: don’t be a troglodyte byzaboo.
>>2209165Lore accurate Byzantium
Any Timmy runs going on?
This shit will be amazing if they can fix the AI. tons of potential
>>2209112got taken over by GW fanboys aka braindead globohomo faggots

>leader wont fucking die>not gonna get to have charles IVlame
>1st phase of hundred years war as eternal anglo>lose ground on mainland france because i dont know what the fuck am i doing>france gets cocky and tries to invade england, let them>crush their navy, wipe them home>they have about 4k levies to my 29k but they are still overwhelmingly strong due to vassal>go to french diplomacy screen>all of their vassals are disloyal because france has no armies and they refuse to fightgod i fucking love this game already
>>2209132YES, didn't even know I had an artist. He made "The sword of Viborg", playing as sweden. maybe they are tied to time and place unless you commission?
i wanted to restart anyway. im gonna no cb ottomans in the first month and fund my roads with their war reps then deal with the serbs.
>>2209182she's literally based though

Does Xorme AI change anything?
>>2209208How do you select certain pops to send to colonies?
>>2209211please dont be mean to him
>>2209211didn't these guys have early access for 2 months anyway, you could watch budgetmonk i guess. he's back now for eu5
>>2209217no, i want to be meaner to himthere is nothing worse than youtuber faggots who get to play the game for 100s of hours in their little creator communities, theorycraft the game and then by day 2 the game is out it's been solved. literal kankerfags.
>press play>decide to get something to eat>6 hours have passedGODhan did it again....

>>2209246Well France was on par with unified Russia all the way until 1800s when they decided to stop breeding.
So is research costing me anything other than the time it takes to research something? Is there a resource it depletes the way tech did in EU4?
>>2209252doesnt seem so
>>2209182damn, the byzantian rose

strocking my pope rn
Anyone know any good guides I can follow? I've already watched a few and have tried playing as Holland and Castile, but I still feel like I've only learned bits and pieces and keep restarting. I wanna try Hungary next but I can't find any good guides.
i cant find shit and because half the shit doesnt have hotkeys i double cant find shitalso are all the map modes just shit? i used to just sit in the diplomatic or w/e mapmode in eu4 that showed like billion things out of every country at a glance.
>>2209257buy a beat up 70's Dodge Challenger
>>2209262red hawk taught me to play eu4 but hes just making slop spam for eu5 now
>>2209261>I wanna try Hungary next but I can't find any good guides.The game has a tutorial-esque section which gives you suggestions on how to play Hungary, if you start as them. Basically tells you to build jewelry guild and earn a ton of cash from them.
>>2209268>>2209261
>>2206051>Huh guise my computer shut down while I was playing. Very spoopy.Are you by chance playing a pirated copy? Because this just happened to me too and I remembered this post. I'm scared bros...
deserved, gas all piratefags
The master volume bar doesn't work correctly. You have to wiggle it around every now and again.
>>2209271I know that, but I wanna know what are some good starting moves to do before unpausing. Plus, I'm I wanna better learn how to manage my economy and trade instead of just automating it.
Is there a production building for beeswax? There's one for Wool and Fruit but seems I dont have one for beeswax, searching the production tab gives me nothing
broke the game
Does anyone have a good idea of the sort of order of operations for buildings? I know that building marketplaces quickly is absolutely critical because you need them for trades, but it also seems like roads are extremely important for proximity and increasing your crown authority so your nation isn't a perpetual cuck state. I can't tell whether or not roads first or marketplaces first is actually the more stable long-term option. Roads are expensive as shit so they're a really costly prospect if they don't wind up giving as much as you'd want in return.
eu5 kind of bores me. Maybe I'll wait for an expansion that adds horde mechanics.
>Engage in a battle>Wipe out everything but the enemy's right flank>Our left flank guys just stand there like "well, we're not on the right side, so I guess we'll just watch the centre fight"Why is this game so utter shit?
>>2209283LOGICsays candles, so maybe church buildings???
is there any downside to just taxing the fuck out of peasants
>>2209132yes, going broke as Milan from all the commissions and artists
>>2209274look into event viewer and look into what caused it?
Why are my PUs not getting called in, even though I have this law passed?
What happens if you make an heir take vows? Does that remove him from the succession?
>>2209300they are called but they can decline, need the Assured law to force them
What's the best way to increase population growth? Trying to get greenland to grow
>>2209300Maybe they just hate you and don't accept the call to arms?
>>2209300it means they get called in, they can still refuse. You need assured if you want them to always join.
>>2209299It was a hard reset, like the screen instantly went black like the motherboard's power was cut. No logs
>>2209246the french revolution and the napoleonic wars make more sense when you find out that france during the period had either 1/4th or 1/5th of europes total population in it
>>2209282>what are some good starting moves to do before unpausingI mean you're pretty safe overall, Naples is strong and has your dynasty you can ally them easily
>>2209312>You need assured if you want them to always join.Well that's stupid, time to waste 5 prestige and 5 legitimacy.
>>2209246England was an irrelevant shithole before they looted 40 trillion dollars from India
>>2209321>was
>>2209314it should still have a power event log at least. anyway i'd run a deep scan overnight just in case lmao.where did you DL your game? if it was 1337 or rin it should be safe. never just google shit and i assume you didnt do that.
i can't imagine playing this if i never played vic3 or imperator
>>2209246I don't know if it was at game start but post black death in my game London was like #3 or 4 by population in ingerlans
>>2209321This. It was only the sheer genetic superiority of the British race that kept them so relevant throughout the ages and into the modern era.
What's the general consensus on eu5 so far? Have been out of the loop with paradox games for a while but eu4 used to be my favorite autism simulator with over 2000 hours played. From what I remember it used to be better to wait a few years for these games to get content.
>>2209305yeah they basically become a monk
>>2209333It's basically nothing like EU4, thank Christ. Please kill yourself for enjoying EU4 btw.
How tf do I change the designated heir
>>2209333its good
>>2209336Don't, she's married to the Dutch heir and you get Holland as a free ally when she inherits
>>2209333It's basically eu4 without mana
>>2209333it doesn't feel like it's lacking features on release which is nice, for example china has their entire celestial mechanic without having to wait for a dlc the thing is that it's not very EU4-ish, they combined shit from almost every other paradox game into this and it feels like i'm playing imperator+vic with a europa skin
>>2209333It's Victoria and EU and Imperator all at once and it fucking rocks because I play all of thoseEU4 only NEETs are on suicide watch
>>2209336What kind of dogshit female equality are they running over there in the Lowlands?
>>2209339I chose to marry her to some local noble, I have holland as fiefdom anyways. The designation doesnt carry over to your personal unions though, meaning you lose them all on the rulers death
>>2209333"what if eu4, vic3, and imperator had a baby?" is what this game feels like
Does anyone truly understand the economic shit, or are we all just automating it to some extent?
>>2209333If you ever wanted a more complicated eu4 combined with vic2, then this is probably the best it can get. It’s got flaws, like the UI, but it’s a great autism simulator. Beware: it filters brainlets.
>Pike & shot in Cairo>Printing press in fucking TrebizondProbably shouldn't have kept dynamic institution spawning on...
>>2209340dope that is pretty much what i wanted i guess.>>2209347>>2209344>>2209341>>2209350have not played either of those games but I might check this out actually, thanks
>>2209300I hate this screen because you have to mouse over the options to actually see what they do and the AI constantly calls for votes to change the law
>>2209345She historically became the ruler because all her brothers died, but it seems Paradox 'forced' her succession, even when her brothers are still alive. Probably to push the Low Countries towards a possible consolidation?
>>2209326>where did you DL your game?1337x magnet from fitgirl-repacks.siteAt this point I assume it was a really bad gpu driver bug or something. It hasn't happened again
>>2209333It's leagues above EU4 at launch. I think they could add a load of flavor and give more estate interactions, but it's great in general. There's a lot of minor hiccups but to give some idea, I'd say it's way more polished than current Vic 3.
>>2209333Imagine EU1 but like 4 iterations down the line of development over 25 years
>>2209349i automated all the yellow shit instantly. all i did in eu4 was click markets that made number go big, then sort by biggest number gained and put my mana into it this shit is way more convoluted.
>>2209349On the contrary, I think you don't truly understand trade if you're not automating that shit. Bitch, you're not microing that if you're sane.
>>2209333The game lacks replay value and for the most part soul. If you are into idle games then this may be a game for you because it requires that sort of autistic enjoyment of numbers going up being the reward in off itself. If you are looking for a video game where you do stuff and the stuff you do mattering then this isn't one for you
>>2209363>stuff you do mattering then this isn't one for youwat
>>2209364You heard me
>>2208776The EU 5 steam forums are full of fake anti wokes and fake critics of the game false flagging by posting retarded takes to make dissenters look bad.Probably has entire threads with nothing but shills controlling the thesis, antithesis and synthesis too.
>>2209357in that case its unrelated to the crack since i use the same crack and its just the steamapi emulator all cracked steam games use, and whatever it did would happen to you even if you paypigged the game.
Cultural conversion is a bit too easyI completely cleansed a province of northumbrians in like a year.I know the souf is superior but this is a bit much. The obvious issue is that it's an absolute number which makes obliterating tiny minorities easy.
How does exploration work?>western sahara, 2 provinces>10 gold a month>for 300 monthsThis can't be right can it?
>>2209367steam forums are more chuddified than /v/ nowadays, it's nothing unusual
>>2209371>exploring the sahara desert wouldnt be expensive
>>2209371Check era modifiers for era III
>>2209370Without that the game would perform even worse.
>>2209370ye its really easy to get rid of residual minoritiesi purged all the sami from norway in like 20 years
>unmarried child
so what is the consequence of giving everyone county privilege?
>spend 15 hours fully understanding things>realize that its just waiting around most of the timeI feel as if there is all these complicated mechanics that don't actually matter that much. Like I shouldnt have even bothered to understand why I should be doing something, its just the correct thing to do.
>>2209333good game, horrible UI almost ruins it though
>>2209363>The game lacks replay valuenigger it was released yesterday
>only son is 15 years 6 months>die>durr hooks and cod succession war we want your 40 year old childless aunt to be queen>decades long disaster filled with shit events even after I forced her to become a nunAm I playing CK3?Everyone can have their own opinions about the core game systems but the "content" is pure ASS. Unbalanced, buggy, unpolished, I'd rather they released the game with no flavor than this shit.
>Claim throne CB on enemy>No option for forcing them into a union, but for some reason the option to force their allies into a union is presentThis a bug or something? Claimed throne on Burgundy but for some reason the option to form a union with them in the peace treaty isn't present but I can force Austria into one instead.
Do we think mods will be able to fix the UI? It seems like a pretty deep design issue with menus hidden in menus.
I got bored figuring out the economy and automated it all.
>>2209389grim...
Having a lot of lumber seems like a massive strategic advantage, you can turn 50 gold constructions into 30 gold just by flooding the market with lumber
>>2209363thats a lot of words just to say the AI is bad
>>2209393if CK3 is anything to go by, no.
The game is pretty good so far. it needs a bit of polishing. it's complexity and slowness is its strength. eu4 felt like a board game. I wanted it to be more complex and more involved than just spending Mana points and moving tubes around on a tiny map
>>2209393the tooltips are more frustrating for meso much information is in tooltips that they even have nested tooltips which then necessitates the locking mechanismwhen you want to look at something not in a tooltip you have to move your cursor away to prevent a random tooltip from blocking itI just want my comfy Vicky 2 spreadsheets man
okay, spy network does help with sieges like in eu4
>>2208881native waifu universalis support
I finally got the parliament to give me a town. Honestly seems like something you want to restart for first session in future games as lowly nations. I immediately used money I had saved up to build buildings that were now unlocked. The first I built was a slave market. However, it just sucked up all the Burghers and there were none left for my marketplace more didn't generate either. Slave markets are useless when you can't trade. I had built it because I wanted to see if it'd let me increase my population. But I had to delete it so my marketplace works. At least that will make me some money.
Game is too much like victoria, I hate the mass amount of buildings hidden behind difficult to find menus, I knew about roads but it took me a solid 10 minutes just to figure out where to build them.
>>2209363Weirdly I felt more engaged with shit in EUiv than here micromanaging trade goods and dealing with these ugly nested menus and sliders. And thats even with the crusader kings character stuff they went with for rulers.
How is casting spells going to work in Anbennar though
>>2209411Please PLEASE kill yourself my friend
i NEED his tutorial videos NOW
>>2209413Hopefully through another obtuse menu system that makes it frustrating to use.
>>2209416Based, being a wizard should be hard work
If what they did with imperator is any indication, a lot of weird UI and design choices will be fixed within a year.
>>2209410i literally learned it in 5 minutes with the tutorial
>>2209419Maybe have a combination of hard to discern runes with no labels you have to press in order
>>2209392Claim Throne is bugged. Paradox said on the forums that they're aware of it.
>>2209410Vicky 2 building is easy though because factories are at the state level so you can plan them completely in the industry tabRGOs and infrastructure are seen on the map (which is much mire readable than EU5's map) and by clicking on provinces. They are usually mass built at the state level too
>>2209426There is a production menu to manage that shit
>>2209420So every paradox game ever when they release 2.0?
>>2209424that unfortunate
>>2209410I dislike how many building slots there are in eu5. its like a never ending mass production of buildings that you need to stay on top of, but if you just automate it, are you even playing the game?
So do I just expand all RGO's and profitable factories to get my economy going? I built mainly roads early and struggled with increasing my crown power and I feel rather poor after 100 years...
>>2209431play at 3 speed and chill
>>2209426>EU5's mapAm I the only one who hates the EU5 map? It starts doing that tilt thing way too soon. It needs to stay flat long and tilt only when you zoom in more. It feels wrong. Going flat map only feels weird too when you go to war. I keep switching between the two depending on whether or not I’m at war.
>>2209392It's a bug, the peace option to claim their throne straight up doesn't appear if they have no allies on their side
>>2209428Yeah and it's unreadable shit compared to the factory screen in V2
>>2209424I've done nothing but play and sleep ever since the release but I'd really like to stop for a while. The game has so many glaring issues that are going to be fixed with patches and mods soon.The worst part is that the game goes by so slowly, I'm really not looking forward to restarting my campaign and speedfiving for 100 years.
>>2209434you can turn off the "auto tilt" in the settings
>>2209432My understanding is that roads are really important because it increases control and profit, but that doesn’t matter if you build a road to nowhere. You need to build stuff in the places the roads go to.
>>2209432you need to be aware of how many workers there. its very much a vicky kind of mechanic and I hate it.
>>2209432Yes, that try to get your trade advantage as high as possible in your market and the markets nearby
>>2209400It's not just the AI (though the AI is bad too). It's the fact that every run is fundamentally the same in much deeper level than EU4, countries lack flavor and soul on country to country level but also on a region to region level. It's the fact that to get to the "good part" you need to run trough 100 years of increasingly tedious early game over and over again. It's the fact that most nothing has any character. It's how you need to do obnoxious amount of clicking to have an impact which grows exponentially with country size. It's the fact that you can't really customize the run you are doing in meaningful way such as idea groups etc. etc.>>2209411That's because it is more engaging. Each click is goes way further in 4 than it does in 5. Decisions matter lot more there. Lot of people in these threads operate on very seether based logic where they first determine if they "ought to" like something. Like people have decided that EU4 is bad (even though they played it for 5000h+ personally I don't play games I don't like) because of X thing and because 5 lacks that X thing it's now "good". It's the cousing of the sort of trap lot of people around the hard games community fall into where they have convinced themselves that "I like good games" and "hard games are good" thus any game they like is automatically "hard" because they like it even if the game is babys first toddler game or what ever. It's just a mindset problem. The same is happening here I think where people have convinced themselves that complex games are good games and that this game is complex so the conclusion that this game has to be good without really considering the matter more deeply.
>England>trying to keep France out of the Isles while I fight scotland>have boats in the channel>somehow they sneak 20k onto the island through fogbruhhhhh
Not sure how people are struggling with this game. You just blob and release vassals. Now that the war system has some complexity to it the AI will basically lose every battle suiciding into forests and mountains because they think you have a small stack lol. Build roads and whatever production/RGO has big number. The only problem rn is it's buggy as fuck. Personal unions in particular are egregiously broken. If you ever get stuck as a junior partner and cant DoW on your senior it's because the game has glitched and put you in a marriage union AND a personal union with your senior. You need to restart the game. Learnt this one the hard way and spent 40 years as a junior thinking it would resolve itself lmao.Also the UI is fucked I shouldn't have to zoom in as far as I do to see province capitals. How do you even tell what countries another country is at war with?
>>2209445>trade advantageHow do I go about acquiring this?
is there no way to sort buildings like by control, food production etc? gotta search individually every time..
>>2209367>>2209372probably because steam forums for basically every single game are full of third worlders nowadays
how do i stop being a vassal
>>2209150I did that 20 years prior, 0% progress
>>2209448>somehow they sneak 20k onto the island through fogAI in paradox games doesn't have FOW that's why they leave seiged forts if you send troops towards them halfway across your country
im actually about to run entirely out of advances to researchits 1394 and none of the renaissance institutions have spread to me
>>2209447give it another year or two and everything will have enough flavor to take full advantage of the game mechanics
I thought I was going to play on only paper map mode, but the map mode that shows the 3d map only for locations you control and the 2d paper map for fog of war is actually really cool. I tried various combinations of the map settings and this is the one I settled on (alongside setting the size of 3d building models to 1 instead of 1.25)
>>2209447> Like people have decided that EU4 is bad (even though they played it for 5000h+ personally I don't play games I don't like) because of X thing and because 5 lacks that X thing it's now "good".It's the cousing of the sort of trap lot of people around the hard games community fall into where they have convinced themselves that "I like good games" and "hard games are good" thus any game they like is automatically "hard" because they like it even if the game is babys first toddler game or what ever.

The same is happening here I think where people have convinced themselves that complex games are good games and that this game is complex so the conclusion that this game has to be good without really considering the matter more deeply.Or people just like the game? I’m having fun with it and I really like the complexity and slow burn. But I can understand why other people wouldn’t like that. That’s why we can play different games. I’m not going into a civ6 thread and shitting on how I think it’s cartoonish or simplified historically. I really like hell let loose because of the difficulty, but I can understand why some people would rather play COD. It can just be up to preferences. It doesn’t have to be this deep psychological analysis.
Hmmmm I fricking love playing EU4 and blobbing and war but absolutely hate trade and economy... Thats for le fricking cringetarded Vicky players. What nation should I pick up today?>MuscovyEw no I will not be a freaking ZIGGER>The OttomansHeh... le remove kebab... no thanks!>Yuan into Ming/ManchuErm, this is Europa Universalis not BUG Univeralis!>FranceLol! Autowin baby game!>LithuaniaErrrrr literally who?>FlorenceAh, perfect! I can't wait to engage in the epic warfare of the Appenine peninsula and p0wn the nubz! Wait... what the chungus is all this pop and trade shit? Why can't I declare war on everyone? What the fuck is a parliament!? Why is the fucking CHEATING AI winning??? I fucking hate this game!!! Johan give me my shekels back!
I think the problem that leads to Ming not rising is that the AI, or at least Chinese AI, isn't good at defending its territory. This leads to it eventually capitulating to an occupied location. I watched a very strong Ming die to a weak Yuan just because it left what I assume may have been its capital sieged too long. Chinese warlords really should be army based countries and maybe Yuan should even convert into one during civil war if possible.
>>2209011Looked through the translated negative reviewsRussians think the localization is retarded, half finished, and words were translated without any context to where they appeared.Chinese think the UI is shit (I guess the chinese font renders weirdly?) and they have to reselect Chinese every time they load in.Both complain about performance on their shitty PCs.The rest is general complaining that you would probably see from any other language
i'm going to lose this because apparently my dogshit starting army has 1.5 morale and the ottomans have 3-4.5 and there was no way to tell because the ledger doesnt show the morale of enemy troops :^)
>>2209461the border between the two is ugly as fuck
>>2209460Game possibly being good years from now isn't going to help a game that's not good now, especially if the game not being good now kills the development in a while like what happened to imperator and almost happend to vicky 3

It is complete and utter bullshit that an army just by being bigger can take over any siege automatically without putting in any effort, and worst that your allies in war can then assault forts and ruin your entire army; and no, I'm not talking about war leader taking over siege, just bigger army (it does). I sieged multiple forts for years and Bohemia kept taking over the control just by parking their stacks on top.Also how the fuck do I get more characters? I have about 5 left to appoint for my cabinet and they're all old and shitty stats.
>>2209496My knees hurt from how much I've knelt to Johan

>>2209510nah the game is just broken, and even as im bankrupt and my troops have 0.16 morale its still saying we're fair bit stronger.
Am I seriously supposed to know who my various characters are outside my ruler and heir? I keep getting these events where I have a choice between some really bad effect, or a good effect but some random character marries some other random character and I'm not sure why I should care. The game phrases it like it's a drawback to the choice.
>>2209516>He doesn't know
>>2209505it doesnt need to be good now, it only needs to have a solid foundation. Right now the game does very well at making people feel good about "investing" into something that will be fleshed out with content
>>2209514The point is the event text describes them as people, which is solely reserved for humans. Meaning the people found are humans.
>>2209496The word "gorilla" comes from the history of Hanno the Navigator, a Carthaginian admiral from the 6th c. BC who explored the west African coast. He encountered 'savage, hairy people' and called them gorillai. Skins of gorilla women, brought back by Hanno were kept at Carthage until its destruction.
>>2209512There's a button to generate a new courtier but it's expensive. Try to make sure all of your starting courtiers get married, with lowborns if you have to.

Clicking the notification opens the balance panel, I have spent 20 minutes in the panels looking through tooltips for a value called "Minting Efficiency" or the 50% modifier, or instructions on how to increase what the alert is mentioning and this information just doesn't seem to exist in the game. I don't have a gold or silver deficit. I even used the shitty in-game wiki to search for minting and it gives me no useful information.Until the game solves issues like this it's unplayable for me

Goys, I pirated it to see how it would run with protonI have horrible 1 sec lag every 8am, all graphic settings on lowestI'm running on iGPU for a couple weeks, but I have 9800x3d and 32gb of ram, is the GPU really such a big bottleneck, or my proton not configured properly or something? Anyone else tried running it with iGPU?
>>2209553The only way I know is hovering over the strength difference and looking at the military power comparison specifically. If they have amazing troops they'll have a better ratio of troops:combat power. I'm not sure if that tracks everything though.
>>2209557More gold nigga
>>2208789Key thing to remember is that market prices work on supply/demand, so when you build a production/trade building it won't just give the listed profit but also drive demand (and so profit of) the input goods and lower the prices of the output goods.
>>2209558>Anyone else tried running it with iGPU?Didn't work at all with Vulkan, but DX12 runs well after I capped the FPS to 60. Dunno if that is available on Proton.

>>2209585Can't wait until the diplomacy update that will let us betray allies in the middle of war.
im so fucking confused with the military shit why is it like this
>>2209587A XVII fucking century institution, you absolute clown. It's from the times of Ivan the fucking Terrible, not Ivan Kalita, ffs.
EUIV without mana would be way better than whatever this isWait for the sunken cost fallacy to wear off in a week or two and this will start getting some serious flak
>>2209595Show us your budget page.
>>2209182>incel is so scared of women that he doesn't realize female rulers are a ticket to get free personal unions another pleb filtered by GODhan
so is there any way you can create crusader jerusalem in this game
>>2209595just download the simplification mod if its that annoying for you
>>2209592This might actually make MP fun for once.
>>2209593It's ck3 for the first 150-200 years and then it transitions to normal eu4 military. What don't you get?
>>2209601id rather play as a nigger than a w*man
>>2209592bilateral peace deals while they're at it
>>2209607no its eu4 but you cant see the enemy's unit stats. its so incomprehensibly shit i have no idea if the reason ppl dont talk about this is because nobody plays a country that doesnt have insanely OP units at teh start or if im just missing the mechanic.
>>2209610You can see them? Hover over their army and it shows their composition.
personal unions enforced through war should not be "independent nation that has your ruler" they should start with some kind of integration already
>>2209595here you go lil baby
>>2209616How do you even remove hour ticks?
>>2209612i obviously mean before the war? have none of you fags played eu4?
>>2209617iirc the half day tick is only for combat so its easy to remove
>>2209618you must have missed the "war enemies" part
>>2209618This was always retarded. You should only be able to see this with a spy network.
>>2209621>before the war>"war enemies"
>>2209616>for the casual playerEew
anyone else feels like automatic trading sucks dick and never updates?
>>2209621?????????>>2209622HOLY FUCK A GAME WHERE THE ONLY SKILL IN WARS IS STACKING MODIFIERS AND YOU CANT EVEN SEE THE MODIFIERS AND YOU THINK THIS IS GOOD DESIGN?? FUCKING RETARD
>>2209622no bro being able to have total encyclopedic knowledge of all countries around the world and their internal stats is a basic thing
>>2209616>king's manor which provides 65 proximityHoly shit kill all modders.
How to turn this into a "core" settlement? I assumed integration cores it, but apparently it's a different thing?
>>2209625Works on my machine, my pops have no needs. That's likely not optimal for making fat money and I don't actually know exactly what pop satisfaction is good for but it feels nice.
>>2209629Accept the local culture or assimilate it
The game really isn’t that fucking hard fellas ffs. It’s not like these interconnecting systems don’t make sense. Just think a little bit.
>>2209616>cuckoen1verse modkek
>mostly positive (77%)It's slowly climbing, at least for the English reviews.
>>2209627as opposed to finding out those stats by declaring war on them, then loading a save? holy shit that's so epic bro!!!!!
>>2209640please read the post I replied to that mentioned a very nice and immersive system for that
>>2209616
>>2209602Only the pope can call crusade
>>2209462>complexityvro... theres nothing complex about it. byz gameplay in the early game, before the snowball, is literally just building scriptorium and clothmakers, expanding a few rgos, and juggling random bullshit events so that you dont get a civil war. then you early war ottomans and its basically Game Over
>>2209639Hmmm really make me think
>>2209626stupid sperg, go back to your shit game
>back to back bankrupties because estates are broke, and I went negative money for a brief time despite having 20+ positive incomeGuess thats what I deserve for playing on ironman mode
how is nobody talking about the missing info in the ledger and how you have to memorize what kind of morale troops each AI has at whatever stage of the game?this shit is beyond insane. would be enough for me to refund the game if i actually paid money for this.
Just started playing, as Castile, conquered Granada and now I'm losing a ton of ducats per month from "Buying food", can I cancel this somehow and let them starve?s
>>2209625I had to mess with it and change it from importing spices??? to importing the most profitable gold and it healed my economy. Maybe it is good for big and/or established nations, but it isn't good for small ones.
Question, when it comes to rgos, with every building that extracts them is it one extra added to the market? or control will affect the amount extracted? Was trying hungary last night, and somehow stupidly managed to kind of ruin the economy. And also I'm just not really sure what to focus on, and how production ties to control. Like production buildings should only be made on the capital at the beginning?
>>2209622Whats more retarded is not being able to see it at all you stupid nig nogYou people are unbearable
>>2209602It's a formable if you have a capital there.
>>2209654Control doesn't affect production, just how much of it you can tax
Me as Bohemia, my vassal swarm, and my PUs in Styria, Brandenburg and Luxemburg! Thanks to you bros' advice I managed to add my PUs to the vassal swarm, and I can just steamroll anyone by just sieging the forts myself and letting the boys handle chasing armies and carpet sieging.
I just want to economymax and build buildings and develop my country. I don't wanna fight people...
holy fuck60 years of inbred imbecile avg 25 stat loser swedish rulers is over. finally some native TALENTliterally just increased my taxes by 50% and my estates still like me. mana might be gone but bad king is worse now than in eu4.
How do I tell where the local capital is when at war and wandering around in an enemy's country? They seem to be unmarked and there also seems to be no reason not to go for them exclusively.
>>2209654I'm fairly sure you can just go by the ledger and what's profitable. That likely will be your capital area but you can't oversaturate one area or you'll get pop-locked in the area and it'll take even longer to get returns. Still, your capital area should see a large bulk of investment thanks to 100% control there. I believe control doesn't affect how much is extracted, it just affects who is receiving profit off of it, but I'm not sure. Filling the needs of your pop is less profitable than just spamming the best buildings but you need some discretion there, like you don't want your pop growth to be bottlenecked by food shortages, whereas luxury goods and fancy food are less important.
EU gets good with the reformation, wars of religion and colonialismThe brain dead AI isn't filling me with confidence that this is any good though
>>2209670Zoom in and squint reeeaaaallly closely until you can see the tiny flagpoles on the capital provinces. Yeah. Thanks Paradox, very intuitive and player friendly...
>>2209644That’s barely scratching the surface of what you can do. You found the simplest and thoughtless way to succeed and did that to blob. There’s so much more under the hood with just the economy. You can manipulate the economy to undermine the ability of other countries to produce finished products by buying up their rgos. There are dozens of factors going into what you do economically, how effective your stuff is, and how you can strengthen your economy. There’s also no one to do it. I have to build a different economy as Scotland because I don’t have similar resources there. All of this stuff is concrete too. It’s not just arbitrary and abstract modifier stacking like in eu4 with maybe 5 things that effect your taxes from a province. I don’t understand how people come away thinking it’s doesn’t clearly have more going on than something like EU4 or even Vic2.
>>2209649releaze as vassal and/or increaze food rgo production and/or laws to reduce food cost

How can I project control out to newly conquered provinces? I tried building some roads and it didn't really do much. I'm guessing it's because the tire of the road.
>>2209681Yes it is an event

So, white area is all a colony bordereach island is separatei need to settle all the islands in order to instantly have a colonycouncilor has a job of sending people, but he is sending them to a region and they are randomly (i think) end up in one of the islandsits a funny mini game of hoping they would end up on the right one so i wouldnt have to waste my limit pop supply
>>2209711i say that and i look like a hellene
>>2209706This is one of the very few good things about this shit UI. I think the first time I saw this type of tooltips in Planetfall, and it's great for being informative about everything you need to learn right on the spot, instead of having to click off one tooltip and search for the info in another one.
>BBCJohan had to have known.
>>2209718Single adult fertile women instantly get snatched up by the AI, so there's literally nobody to marry, and even though this is supposed to be mini crusader kings, there isn't a betrothal system either.

>>2209745There's a button to just annex them.
Would it be worth it to invade this country? They only have a few thousand pops. I feel like I could conquer their land and kick them out. The advantage being they have a town so I'd get a third town to try to start growing my pops in.

>>2209788tell me a good game
>>2209761I found out at game start as England you can sell your single shitty Scottish location which isn't even integrated to Balliol for almost 400 ducats. It's such a game-changer for early game, but it also seems very busted and OP. I think their location province value calculation is still treating it as if it were EU4 provinces, not the tiny little locations they are in EU5. Only a city should be worth huge money.

>>2209803wtf i love mahjong now
>>2209803The economy's good, I'm so-so on the character mechanics but people have been asking for more intricate dynastic systems for a long time and this is one way to do it.
Is Integration supposed to be extremely slow and limited by how many council actions you can devote to it or am I missing something?
>>2209803>Vicky 3's pops and number go up economyIt did.
>>2208789>I genuinely don't understand how the markets work. How do I know what to build to make the most money?Are you a USA politician? You might wanna try, seems like you would feel right at home
WHY IS THE POPE SUDDENLY ENACTING EVERY SINGLE BULL?
>>2209807Yes. Don't waste time integrating honestly, just release 1 province vassals, improve relations, and then quickly annex them in 10 years. Sure, it wastes diplomats and money (for diplomat upkeep) but it turns the provinces into cores like 3x as fast.
>>2209807probably just supposed to be slow as fuck early game
>>2209803>>2209803>it really didn't need CK3's character mechanics so true, they add nothing to the game, they're horrible to look at, they don't even have interactivity>or Vicky 3's pops and number go up economyoh nvm you're retarded

chat is this winnable???
>>2209832>noble estate rape monopoly
>>2209812Yeah, this seems like the way to do it. You don't even have to do full diplomatic spending, a bit will keep them loyal enough to not revolt, the main reason would be diplomatic capacity but I'm not even close to my cap. Then you get to use your cabinet members for useful stuff. I guess the main argument against is if you're taking a lot of land of a culture you fully accept since that'll automatically integrate.
>>2209832>quick, pass a reform in the parliament for +0.15 rape capacity per month
what building do I spam to make this number not shit

Why do people call EU4 mana when EU5 is legit full of it.
>>2209861muh dick
>>2209868it was never mana that was the problem, it was using the same 3 mana pools for techs, national ideas, cores/integrations, AND province development on top of "normal" mana actions
over a billion provinces to click on
>provinceslocations*
ur a location
damn first crash after 10 hours
>>2209856Pressing automation for everything and watching the number go up?
I feel like I need an AI to answer my questions about the game at this point. Like how do I get my ROG more employees? What did the automation even do?
billions must die in rgo farms
Shithole bros, where we at?I lost most of my levies to attrition but I've been slowly building them back up. After I discover the councilor assimilation action I've been forcibly converting my slaves to the superio Tanoan culture and also filling my levies with the new Tanoan men as well.Can't see a way to end the way unfortunately. We only had around 25 warscore after we defeated their army but I'm in the aggressive side and since we can't take their capital without like 35 warriors it's ticking back down to zero.Good news is I've put together a nice Tribal Coalition and we have assured offense so if I could somehow end this war and start a new one I could probably pretty easily win it. Bad news is my total pops are less than 2K while the big fish, Ialophaybo, has over 6K so I'm going to lose eventually but still fun.Also I'm gonna get taxation soon and hopefully that will keep me from inevitably going bankrupt
>>2209881RGO employees are Laborers, which are a different POP class than Peasants. Peasants will promote to Laborers naturally so long as there's a demand for them (the province RGO must need more workers, and the RGO must be profitable enough for producing more of the good to be valuable). It goes without saying that, if you run out of peasants in a province, you won't be able to get more laborers except through natural POP growth or migration.
>>2209868in EU4 the 3 resources come mostly from your ruler and are used for everything, teching up, developing your land, boosting stability, finding a heir or bombarding a fort and most events are there just so you can trade one resource for another unlike EU5's capacity which is there just to prevent spamming. It isn't the most elegant implementation but it's a lot better than having your entire game revolve around 3 mana pools.
>>2209886having a population of 2000 crazy
>>2209852It's beyond over for Vicky 3.they refuse to rework the military and EU5 has actual control of armies
>>2209886Can you take out loans? You may be able to hire mercenaries. You just have to go to their menu and there will be an option to get a new leader (who will gather units).
What is this cancer growing around my frontier?
>>2209861hoi5
>>2209892I know. It's a big responsibility I'm just trying to do my best.Once I got codified laws I ended up enacting string censorship and noble control over the mining operations and a strong council but I did that for their own good you see.>>2209895Yes I can take out loans. I'm trying to get into the green with this new taxation tech I'm working on but I'll consider loans if all else fails.I'm like 85% sure I'm going to lose this game before the Euroids arrive but maybe I can delay it by a bit this way, thanks
>>2209868>>2209872This and in EU4 shit instantly happens like when you press the mana button and conjure troops out of thin air In EU5 everything was more like a simulation and it takes time
>>2209861Mana is dead, Imperator killed it and it's not coming back
>>2209886im doing fine, expanding all across polynesiabarely staying profitable tho, constant struggle to not expand too early so they wouldnt ruin me with a sudden -10 food import per month gold deficit.havent built a single building but have many colonies and rgos

>vic3shit game

>>2209904The economics are fun don't get me wrong, but they still haven't done enough for warfare and it's just not great. I'd rather play vicky 2 or now EUV

>never properly played a GSG before>figured this would be my first one I actually try>downloaded the game>no idea what's going on or what I'm supposed to be doing>kinda just ben staring at the map and building stuff here and there>been half following a guide video>actually having fun, or think I am I don't even kno anymoreThis is the first game in a while that I've actually been able to bring myself to play and not think "yeah that game was fun" and never launch it again or think "that game was fun, I want to play more" but have trouble actually launching it. I even started playing early in the morning after I got up when I usually don't launch any games before lunch. That being said I'll play for a bit, do a few things then close the game, watch a bit of a guide then hop back in. I'm considering buying it so i can start getting updates as they roll in but I'm unsure yet. My brain does this thing where it's like "yeah that game is fun, you love it, you want to play it" so then I end up buying whatever it was I was playing then suddenly my brain is like "cool, thanks for spending the money" an I never launch the game again. Still seeing all the menus, the huge map and every little detail is still very daunting which is why I'm taking the game in doses. I still have many questions floating around in my head, mainly with resources and actually getting them I guess I will find out in time.All that being said I've quite enjoyed the few hours I've had so far with the game, especially the music and the way everything looks. I've tried other GSG games in the past and the moment I see the map and menus my brain completely shuts down and i just close the game but EU5 has been different it's more "This looks nice, let's figure it out". Thanks for reading my blog and remember to subscribe.
>>2209917Yeah but they're mayans and they just magically appear right before my colony forms? I don't understand why they're appearing and fucking up my borders.
i have to constantly export leather to create demand…
>>2209919For reference these are the only other games I've actually put time into and still do. I'm kind of tired of Rimworld, even with 700+ mods, Shadowverse is shit and Project Zomboid falls in the category of "yeah the game is fun" but I never actually launch it.
>>2209919my first EU4 game was as Inca, I got my shit pushed in so hard by the euros that I couldn't help but try and learn the gamejust pirate it until the first big patch comes out if you're worried about spending money
>>2209872>it was never mana that was the problemNo, people frequently shit on EU4 because of 'mana'. I agree that EU4 would be better with more simulation but people have criticised the shit out of EU4 and it mana/modifiers only to then go play 5 which has mana and a million times more modifiers. >>22098915 is full of modifiers and 'capacity' which is essentially the same thing. It's just a resource to be used, same AE in EU4 is a resource to be used.>>2209900Yeah I wish EU4 had pops instead of dev and your manpower drew from your pop.
>>2209919This is the best Grand Strategy Game in existence so it is a pretty good start.

I forced culture on my released subjects to try to get them to assimilate their lands before I would annex them. However, one of them doesn't convert culture to the one I chose and instead converted everything to a minority culture, everything is 100% Kashubian now. Was the AI just retarded or is it intended?
>>2209928Yes now you have learnt about controlled shortage to keep the price stable Basic economy before industrial age
>>2209932I'm not worried about spending money what my concern is "Am I actually enjoying the game or just looking forward to buying it." there's been a few games that I think I'm greatly enjoying then soon as I buy it I never touch it again. I guess there's the refund button but it's a whole process ya know?

>>2209946This is the only GSG that I've actually attempted(attempting to learn) instead of just seeing the map and menus and thinking "I'm too stupid for this" or "I don't care about this subject (hoi4)" and the closing the game.

Shithole bros, can I get a vibe check?I have an automatic offense tribal organization with the big fish in our little pocket of the world. According to this menu they will join this war.We /should/ have the numbers to occupy the province and I could annex it as well.I know waiting for my stability to improve and to decrease our relations would be a better move but I'm concerned if I wait too long the org will change their laws from automatic offense or somebody else will start a war instead of me.I'm also trying to settle the unoccupied location to the south of me but if I'm going to compete with the big fish (6K pops) I need to expand asap just to compete.Is this a good idea, or retarded? Is there something I'm missing or should I just go for it?

>>2209933>No, people frequently shit on EU4 because of 'mana'.Every paradox game has some form of mana though. Even Vicky 2 has diplo mana and secret police mana and officer mana and so on. The issue is when mana is used for everything that's not just buying stuff with ducats (also a kind of mana) the game feels too gameified

I know I have cotton resource in my location but I haven't been able to sell any because I don't have access to the local market (I think. I really don't know desu)I'm working on researching taxation to hopefully get into the green.

I can't even fathom how I would do that yet.
>>2210037Βασιλεία Ῥωμαίων, i.e. "Basilea Romaion" would be the correct term, I believe. But paracucks hate the fact that Roman Empire existed till mid XV century, and that Austria-Hungary was a thing.

>tribal nomads in my organization defeated my enemy and are occupying the land for meIt seems to be working bros!
How do you make fishing villages work? Mine just don't produce anything and will take no input despite it being on the market. This leads to them making nothing and thus employing no pops. For some reason they're all on something called Arctic fishing too and will switch back to that eventually if I try to change it.

>>2210045You can create your own market centre if you're too distant from the current one. I suspect it would make your income way more stableYou're still going to be fucked by lack of resources until you start colonizing nearby RGOs
>>2210058Hopefully you'll eventually unite all the tribes
>>2210045>>2210057You need at least city level to establish a market I think
also on the topic of markets is it ever not a good idea to create your own?

what does this mean?i want to rival those fags in return, but it just says invalid targethovering over tooltip says nothing
>>2210045regarding colonization, aim for the land that has like 300 pops of a culture that has 30k other pops someone upclose, colonize those 300 pops (by ordering your councilor to send people to this province first) and then accept their culture, then you will be able to instantly colonize all the other provinces that have that culture. If you have the same religion as them that is.

>>2208866Imagine play france in the hundred years war
Ok well I was able to win the war but not able to annex the province since I couldn't be the one to occupy it.Settled for humiliation and a little bit of money. Not bad but not what I wanted.Also I discovered a bug where you're able to add provinces you don't occupy to a peace deal via the little square toggle thing next to the name but clicking the accept button at the bottom causes the game to CTD.I should have made a video to report but I'm assuming PDX has a representative here. This was on Loonix via Proton so that could be a contributing factor as well but I don't think so in this case.

>>2210108then you have over 25% access to someone elses market
>>2210104What do you mean, they are commoners
>>2210110I think the problem is "No Trade Capacity"I'm pretty sure I have cotton and I'm assuming it's worth something (for examply I need pottery for my noble pops) but either I don't know how to interact with the market, or I cannot interact with the market. Not totally sure but I think "No Trade Capacity" has something to do with it
>>2210074Yeah, Empire of the Romans feels pretty on point if it absolutely has to be in English. Anyway, pretty much any version is better than the fucking cope name by the HRE fritz pretenders.
>>2210109you forgot "this runs like shit on my decade old gaming laptop"
>>2210115Trade capacity is earned through buildings. It is kind of strange. If you can use the parliament, the trading expedition thing will actually earn quite a bit of money potentially just by letting the economy begin to function.
>>2210115yea there is a tech for that, i just figured out how it works late when i already had it researched
>>2210117Ah yeah right.
>>2210105>Oh my gosh, blobbing? No-no-no-no-no, we don't do this in this XIX century game>...oh waitFuck off back to your containment paddock, victoriafaggot.
I saw setting up resources you can only build what's available on that particular area, like you can't put a mine on a tile that shows fruit. With regards to building how do you know the best placement? obviously if one market needs X you're not going to built that building in another market (castile) but how do i know if X location is better for a book producing building or a leather producing building, can you build both on the same tiles, how do you know when there's too much in one spot, does it matter?
>>2210117>engine using 1 (one) core in 2025 is not a valid criticism point>*proceeds to imagine sucking johan's micropenis*Behold, a paracuck.
>>2210118Ok yeah I can't build anything either (either because I have no money or the market I'm in has no lumber or both)Also not sure I just haven't unlocked it yet via tech tree or if it's hidden inside one of those sub menus but I don't see a "trade exposition" inside parliament atm. I called one recently but I'll look into it next time I can call one>>2210119I'm looking through the tech tree now. Don't see it immediately but I'll keep reading. I rushed taxation because I'm trying to not go bankrupt
>automated trade doesn't import any lumber>buildings just don't work because I don't have lumberThe RGO system continues to be wonky... Sudan has tons of fucking forests in 1400... why does it have literally no lumber
It's a "vassalize all of the other Russian princes as Muscovy" kind of night

>>2209165Byzaboos realizing that it's actually a pain in the ass to maintain their crumbling empire is always my favorite genre of paradox gamer since they're so consistent across titles. Any game with Byzantium in it they show up and immediately start screaming the moment something goes wrong, they're more dedicated than even the chinks
>>2210127A lot of buildings require masonry from the building that produces it. There are also many that require a town (something you may be able to get through parliament too).
>>2210130The parliament isn't called right now. It is one of the things you have to have voted on. Whether you get the better ones or not is random of course. It is pretty annoying but I guess it is a consequence of relying on them.
>>2210125> you can only build what's available on that particular areaBuildings aren't tied to the resource of the location. As long as there are materials in the market and it's a settlement/town/city, you can build anything. I think what's optimal is having production buildings be placed in locations that produce the materials the building uses. For example, you have a location that produces Fruit and you want to make Wine, then you should place a Winery in that location. I think it will be given a bonus to production efficiency.

Do we know what's in the "big update" tomorrow?
>>2210142Skill issue.
>>2210127maybe i was wrongit says that my trade capacity is from the fact that im in the trading center, ie it being my market. Research is just a percentage bonus to that base +2 number.Its retarded tho, can tribals that are not market owners not trade at all then, even if they are right next to the province with the market? (that being the part that fucks you then, because if your access is lower than 25% you can establish your own, being a city is an optional requirement)

>>2210133Oh it's one of the random demands of the estates I see. I think last time they wanted me to build a gravel road. I keep failing parliament by ramming thru my increased levies lol but I'll keep my eye out for it thanks>>2210132Seems like I can't build anything. Now obviously I never built anything before so I have no idea if I'm just missing something or I actually can't do it. This is part of learning the game I suppose>>2210145By right clicking my location and highlighting the market I can confirm I have 68% market access to the market. The issue seems to be no trade capacity
>>2210150if im right in how fucked the tribals in this game are then you need to research colonization and do this >>2210081 somewhere far away enough from the market or just take over the province with the market, which is probably what you are expected to do.
>>2210150If you click on a building and act like you'll build it (hover over a location), it should show a box stating why you can't build it which should help.
is there a downside to being in more than one market? should I always aim to make my own market?
>Just trying to do comfy enggerland things.>France goes fucking ape mode on me every chance he can.I hate them so much bros.
>>2210155he wont be able to build anything without money, 50 gold is the lowest price on anything
>>2210155>>2210159Oh yeah I see now that money is what I'm missing for a lot of these.Maybe I'll be able to do some stuff after I get taxation thru

>>2210179They're just not used to it. I think it's quite nice but I haven't plays EUIV in a few years and last PDX game I was playing over the summer was Imperator which I think has UI structured similarly to EUV
So manpower only applies to regulars, not levies. It also decreases as a regular army takes casualties, and does not regenerate unless you disband all of your regulars, let it recover, then pay for them again rather than just passively reinforcing them as manpower replenishes as in EU4. That's retarded.

AI is garbage, and so is UI.
>>2210210Are you sure that's true? My manpower was stuck at 0 for years. I disbanded my regulars and the next month, it shot up to 4 and consistently increased from there. When I raised another regular army, it went down again and never rose until I once more disbanded the regulars.
>>2210204I watched a guide and it seems pretty straightforward if you automate all the dull victoria garbage out of the gameplay.

>>2210179The colour is shit, the blurry tiny shitty unreadable AI-made icons are the worst that I have ever seen in my whole life, and it feels terrible to actually use, like you're never sure which one of these hundreds tiny pieces is a button, an indicator, a new menu, a new window, etc. In contrast, Eu3 and EU4 UIs were extremely clear and readable, with nice colours and well-done handmade icons.

Roads are so fucking expensive it's insane. Why the fuck do I need to build gravel roads in Europe anyway? There are plenty of roads there by 1337. The fucking Roman Empire had roads all over the place a millennia before this game even starts. This is the stupidest mechanic and just serves to kneecap control to arbitrarily slow expansion.
>>2210311Because the retarded victoria devs are obsessed with watching numbers do up "gameplay" and hate any expansion.
I forgot I'm not playing Victoria 3. It's not a huge deal if the snowball doesn't start rolling until 20 years in.
Where do you see active country modifiers?
uh is there even a war map mode to see what countries are at war?
>>2210311> Roman Empire had roadsAnd most of them were not maintained by the barbarians Frankoid or Germoids after they took over, leaving only dirt roads
>>2209274Yes and it also just suddenly shut down.
when are you supposed to switch from vassal swam to direct rule? it's so hard to get control
*pulls up to the thread in my frankish pick up truck*oh yeah guvna these roads really are in a pitiful state you just cannae use them, really makes you wonder what you pay taxes for
>Worse economy that Victoria>Worse combat than HOI>Worse roleplay than CKWhat's the point of this game?
>It's happening againI can't just accept but my stability is already probably permanently negative, my estates all hate me...I'm 90% sure this run is doomed.As far as learning the game I feel pretty good about getting thru the menus. I don't understand production or trade at all but it seems those are not possible as a small tribe anyways.What do you bros think? I feel like it's most based to go till the bitter end. My current plan is to wait till my truce is up then attack Aak'u with "Make Tributary" CB but even if I win with my allies doing all the fighting the Tribal Org I'm in has automatic offense but no defense so as soon as Aak'u wants they can just win their independence.Also long term it's clear Ialophaybo will dominate the region. They own the market and have two - three times more pops than everyone else.IDK if I can bring myself to pivot but...who are the noob friendly starts? Like who is the Castille and Chill / Irish Duke / USA and Idle in this game?
Can someone explain this to me? I finished a war and got this out of fucking nowhere, there was no event I didn't do fuck all except win the war and take some land. I swear paradox makes me want to kill people sometimes. I don't know if it's even good this happened or not but at least give me a coherent reason for fucks sake.
>>2210352I'm sorry I always forget to attach my pictures :shame

Your apology needs to be as loud as your disrespect was.

People really make playing these map games their entire personality huh?
I'm playing as Austria. Pretty good so far. I became Emperor around 1345, and just won a war against Upper Bavaria over their unlawful expansion. My nobility dislikes me, and I don't have enough laborers for my RGOs, and I have a couple thousand people starving, but things are going well. I'm automating trade, but that's about it so far. The UI and learning curve is not nearly as bad as retards here claim.
>>2210379I'm only just now starting to do a few normal things again. Playing EU5 has pretty much consumed most of my waking time since release.
>>2209777Manpower is specifically professional soldiers, it's separate from generic levies. Illiterate peasants drafted and handed a pike aren't part of your manpower pool.
>>2209904>Vicky3 still has more complex economy (in theory)victoria 3 doesnt even have stockpiles. the economy sim has always been a joke.
China and similar situations should have some sort of extra isolated diplomacy. No one outside should get angry at a Chinese country conquering others. There should also be separate diplomatic reputation, capacity, and other systems for inside China. This would help make China more dynamic and help it unite.

>>2210401Yes, the higher the better
>>2210402No you don't understand, you build Thema Headquarters to get manpower, you only have that and the sergeantry as the byzantinians, they removed my buildings and I can't build new ones.
Why the fuck does the game speed up so much in the 1400s?Every month was long and drawn out before, now it's flying.

>>2210407the black plague wipes out half the map then remainders consolidate just like real lifeputting the extinction crisis right at the start of the game was a pretty interesting choice
>>2210432I think it was an awesome choice though the interactivity with it seems a little limited at the moment. I hope they iterate on it more.
Is improving RGOs generally more important / profitable than building buildings?
>>2210427It got rejected.
The game is good even if you play it just as a city builder. They did a good fucking job this time around.
>>2210340probably diplomacy or among in those nodes
>>2210441I just wanted something to do during peacetime and this game does that for me.So many map painting kids just want instant gratification. I'm glad they went in the direction they did

Mesoanon chiming in again, looking at the DLC page, it seems like they mixed up/are combining the Preclassic + Classic Great Temple of Cholula with the Postclassic one hereThey were separate structures, not one structure iterated on for 1200 years, and were dedicated to different gods (Tlaloc/the Rain god for the former, only the latter, pic related, was to Quetzalcoatl)Also:>>>/v/725007841 >>>/v/725008694 >>>/v/725009329 >>2207600>>2207972>>2208072Are the clothing of each of the rulers/kings preset, or are they randomly generated? >>2207862It SHOULD be difficult to colonize the Americas, IRL it was basically the planets aligning for the Spanish early on that allowed them to snowball and which then enabled other European powers to do it too.

>>2210432it's probably that kind of borrowed power game design thing a lot of games these days have their first mission(s) give players some kind of late game setup (gear, party, etc) hoping that it would hook them up right away by letting them feel powerful it's not the same, but the recovery will probably take until like ~1500
>no juke box windowsoulless
too retarded to build buildings so i guess i'm rgomaxxing
>>2210458I got instant called into war with France, and even though I white peaced them separately, the game said I was still in a war on England's side, so I couldn't go to war against them.
>France is declared all the HegemonsSounds concerning indeed.
Which is the most gorilla brained low iq retard start in this game?I want the absolute most braindead basic backdrop while i try to teach myself how this shit works.I dont want any complex war shit out the gate (England, France)I dont want any complex political shit out the gate (HRE)I dont want any big blob bros nearby eho will eat me alive (Aragon, Bohemia)I dont want anything too big that its overwhelming at the start.Is the Turkish start really the easiest one? I loathe playing as the scourge of the west but everyone in europe either looks mildly challenging, neutered until the age of discovery (Portugal, Castille) or overwhelming at the start (France, Hungary)
>>2210510Milan
>>2210489the tutorial is honestly fine
>>2210510Do the tutorial as Holland, but don't quit when it's over. Continue with the tutorial missions.Holland is good to learn with because you only have a handful of locations to control and you're relatively safe.
>>2210516I will consider thisThank you Anon
>>2210479>>units can't group together seemingly at random>>completely random sieges are still in the gameYeah this bullshit has been unacceptable and remains unacceptable.You lose your commander too because they merge into empty armies so it thinks you are moving the commander.

>>2210506Buildings are equivalent in value to RGOs provided you don't have material shortages that prevent the building from functioning. The economic ones tend to be cheaper.

>win the civil war as Balliol>game automatically transfers my capital from Perth to the literal shit hole Dunfermline when I become ScotlandOkay that's just fucking retarded
The fact that Ironman autosaves on peace deal now is absolutely diabolical. The amount of times I've twice now had to rollback to autosave from 10 years ago because I accidentally gave land to my ally without realizing it. It's not even land they wanted, I just didn't wait the month tick it takes for them to give me occupation and didn't notice.
What's a normal year to start building tons of regulars? I have about 3.5k in about 1398 or so. How many should I have?How many cannons should I built to siege early game forts? In EU4 that's 3 canons, but that's 3 THOUSAND, while here a regiment of canons is FIFTY.For comparison, Naples has about 1.3k regulars and Hungary/Poland have like 200-300 each.
>playing Aragon>inherit some French provinces>sell them the provinces over some decades so their coffers recharge>end up getting around 10k Ducats by the end of it>invest like crazy into my industry and economy>10 years later I've gone up 10 ranksThis game kicks ass.
>>2210558>>inherit some French provincesFrom Dynastic mechanics? Honestly the coolest addition to EU5 compared to IV. The way unions work tickles my autism in a special way. It's closer to gaming the feudal system in CK3 than the "royal marry and hail mary" EU4 pure RNG system for getting non-scripted PUs.
>>2210557I feel like it's something you can put off since you'll have to rely on the levy either way. The gold you're investing into building those armories and those troops is quite a bit, the opportunity cost relative to investing it into your economy instead is high. You probably shouldn't mess with it much until your economy is well-established and it's cheap to build it up.
>>2210467Watch Laith videos on youtube
>>2210560Yeah, I was flinging around marriages and I ended up in one between a few French states I can't remember the names of. I really like the more in-depth union mechanics too, especially there being an option for keeping the union as is and strengthening the members a bit, plenty of times I haven't wanted to inherit a PU at that moment.
>>2210561I'm the number 1 greatest power in the world as HRE Emperor Bohemia (>>2209661 my post before going to bed last night) and am absolutely swimming in ducats. I let the AI handle my buildings, RGOs and trade, because I attempted to do it manually as Hungary and was poorfag as fuck.It feels really cheap to build armies right now, and I was researching new troop types like the Händgünner or whatever he's called.
>>2210564I did but he just talks about what ifs and such vs showing a tutorial on specific things you would see popup like needs and how to balance the market and buildings for those needs, etc.Also doesn't really explain each button or number in it.
>>2210530When does this actually fire? It's 1410 and I haven't seen it.
>>2210573when Guillaume II dies without an heir, and I think its scripted so that he doesn't have an heir? But maybe you bypassed that.
>>2210569Yeah, that looks like a good time to go for it, capping your army should be inexpensive.
So can i do anything to minimize black death RIP toll or should i just accept that it's over and half of my pops are going to get ratted, same with my economy.
>>2210550The UI is quite poor and the trading screen in particular is bad for trades.The best way to deal with it is to click on the market itself, then sort goods by price. Export low price goods to places the price is high. Import high price goods from places the price is low.Produced goods offer a lot more trade value than raw goods because they're less abundant. It's not a bad idea to overproduce things and tank the price, all this means is you sell this low price good where it has a high price.
>>2210580Think of it like a soft reset button that lowers the power level of Europe to more reasonable levels a few years into the game. Everyone suffers from it. I lost almost a million pops as Bohemia and it took me until almost 1400 to go back up above 2 million.
>>2210580https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy4HA3vUv2c
>>2210580If you click the pop-up and do the options then you'll lose less than half but you're still going to lose a lot of people.
>>2210587Should i build hospitals or it's a waste of money at the start? Either way Rip 160k peasants in central russia you will be forgotten.
>>2210472the real way to avoid it is moving your capital to an island and waiting it out. or a sudden vacation to milan
>>2210584In real life the black death was one of the factors that propelled Europe forward in the first place, less people meant more societal mobility was necessary to fill the vacancies. It also increased the wages and basically created the burgher class. The black death's biggest victim was the feudal structure.All the systems are there to simulate this. There really should be some sort of event or something that pushes you towards free subects after it. I'm surprised they went to the lengths of modelling all this and didn't do it that way.

Why do vassals overextend like crazy and go siege deep the enemy when i'm defending my land?Is there a defend command so the retards dont fuck up?They dont want to attach and ruin my war
>>2210605sanitation, probably
>>2210605>Why would one of the richest trading cities in Europe miss it?they enforced mandatory quarantines for anyone infected regardless of social status. at the time some measures were considered draconian but in hindsight was definitely the right choice.also maybe better sanitation/attention to lice, although nobody actually knew that was the vector of spread until much later
>bohemia is super fun to play nowI didn't put that on my bingo card
>>2210605It didn't, same as Poland who burned records of it hitting their land.
>>2210614They were pretty fun in EU4 and CK3 as well, but yeah they're definitely the most fun and easy of the few starts I've tried like them, Holland, Hungary and Bulgaria.
I am playing Hungary and due to their asiatic heritage my pops from the lowest of commoners to the richest of nobles are demanding a ton of rice and are mad at me for not providing it. Unfortunately the only rice rgos in Europe are in northern Italy.Would invading the italians for their rice be enough or do I need to become a colonial power to sate my pops desire for rice?
>>2210619wtf just trade with them you fucking barbarian
>>2210619>invade italydoubt it's worth, integration takes a crazy long time and you'll be stuck at 0 control or with a vassal
>>2210620I do not have enough trade advantage in Venice, so the italians dont give me all their rice willingly
>Finally saw England win the hundred years war>But only because they had Castile in a PU, and it was still close
>>2210619That doesn't seem to be the intended behavior lmao.>>2210620Importing food is fucking expensive. I created my own market in Amsterdam and didn't focus on food RGOs a lot. I immediately spent 11 ducats per month extra just to feed my pops.
Is there just a vid teaching how to deal with population needs manually?
>>2210631don't worry about it bro who cares if your niggas don't have enough cows just eat bread retard
>>2210634I was going to post saying I don't care that they need cows anyway but holy shit I don't need cows. Books are neverending despite me having so many Scriptoriums.
What's the current philosophy regarding waging wars? Quick wars with small conquests or long wars with large conquest?I was playing tutorial Castile and declared on Grenada because the mission tree told me to. Morocco likely joined because it was my rival.A few years later, I fully sieged Grenada, wiped all their armied and occupied Moroccan Iberia. I peaced out asking for the Moroccan territories and leaving Grenada alive. Then I spent the years before the black death integrating the new territories.Should have I taken more?
>>2210631You're overthinking it. Just build and trade for the stuff that they're demanding, starting with the most profitable stuff and food. Export stuff you have a surplus of, import stuff that you need ideally from a market that has a surplus so it's cheaper.
>>2210642>declare war>win some battles>siege down some provinces (ideally no fort)>peace out for 1-2 provinces or as much as Antagonism allows>release subject(s) in newly conquered lands>improve relations and annexx in 10 years>build roads and increase control>profit (literally)
EU5 is pure slop, its just copy and pasted vic,ck and eu4 into one big mess without even thinking how they interact then also the dumb AI has no idea what is going on
I tried playing as the teutons, but I keep getting my ass kicked by Lithuania during the first war. Their army is far larger than mine, am I supposed to take on an insane amount of debt to recruit more units or what is the optimal strat supposed to be?
>>2210645>>2210634I took things off automation and I started having rebel progress in a market that I have no market cap. I really don't get what the AI did to make it go away.
>>2210639As far as I can tell, paper and books just have to be built infinitely 1. because there's never enough and 2. because eventually you'll spam libraries and universities everywhere which need even more and 3. they're worth a lot of money for export anyway
>>2210648I love me sloppa
>>2210648Seethe and go play eu4 fag
>>2210651Get other big boys to be your ally
Is there any long play youtubers that play with no automation so I can just see wtf they're doing?A lot of vids out there are edited to skip a lot.
>>2210654Yeah, it's basically a feedback loop of educating your population creates a further demand from books. I'm sure the AI cares too but players will definitely build stuff like libraries, temples and universities everywhere. Makes sense though, educating your population needs a lot of books.
I think the AIs only function from a pure pragmatic perspective so they will do weird shit like >Ottoman converted to OrthodoxBecause most of their subjects are Orthodox after taking down Byzantium so it is a quick way to gain stability >China never untied again Cause it is wasteful to blob without control so the AIs just play tall instead
>>2210660Watch legend of total war
damn
Yeah so how the fuck do i stop the burghers (and other nations) from exporting my books? i can't get a fucking library up and running without stockpiling 2 (two) fucking books.
>>2210668Not much you can do other than build more Scriptoriums or trade for more Books. I think you can disable them from exporting the books but they're doing that because the books are really valuable because you don't have enough of them. If you get more books it solves itself.
All of my estates are perpetually broke, how do I help them with their spending habits? picrel is from when my economy trippled out of nowhere so it doesn't seem that bad but they have been deep in the negative for decades now.

Then again when they beat the Inca.Do you7 understand the meaning of the term "snowballing"?Yes, the Spanish had repeated successes, but their later ones were enabled by their earlier ones: Cortes toppling Tenochtitlan, which was heavily reliant on alliances with local allies, the opportune outbreak of diseases at just the right time, him arriving exactly when he did etc, gave Spain a massive amount of local manpower and resources to launch further campaigns with and also gave Spain an incentive to invest in further campaign and colonial effortsEven if Cortes failed, what's now the Americas would come under European influence to some degree, but it wouldn't likely be as rapid or complete as it was IRLSee>>>/k/64463581>>>/k/64463604>>>/k/64463694>>>/k/64463709>>>/k/64463712Also it took Spain literal centuries to conquer the Maya, the last Maya state didn't fall untill 1697

Just set the peasant tax modifier to max for free money. They cant do shit lmao
>>2210708You wont have pop growth or promotion from them
>>2210714How do you even boost pop growth? I swear besides conquest it's just waiting for +600 a month or something.
hello again /vst/ros, France-anon herehow fare you and your campaigns?is shithole-anon still here and waging war with his whole 11 men?

>>2210719Yeah he just updated his campaign recently, just finished his war with his 20 good men plus ally Too bad his ally gained enough favors through the war and asked for 10 coins which bankrupted him while he tried to figuring out how to build a market
Why'd they remove mothballing fleets and forts?It's not like a ford disappears if you choose to no longer use it.
>>2210723>and asked for 10 coins which bankrupted himlmaooooooooooooooootimes are dire indeed............
>>2210727you can mothball fleets though, don't know about forts, usually just have the maintenance slider set to 0
>>2210716Irrigation boosts the max population of an area but then I don't know where to see the max. It does also increase food production a bit. Never being short on food is obviously good for pop growth. Don't know what else you can do.
>>2210730You cannot mothball specific forts though.
>>2210731How do you view this irrigation mechanic? Never seen it yet.
>>2210730If you hover over the fort bonuses it's nothing like tradition other than Defensive ticking if you want that, I don't. Way I see it, the fort maintenance slider being off is them being mothballed.
>>2210733It's a building.
>>2210736Does it have to be unlocked or what? If not then presumably my automation's built it already.

is it bad to build RGOs that are not in proximity to the capital?I'm told it's good to put same workshops of same RGO in the location, but isn't it bad if it's far from capital so bad proximity?

>>2210800My first campaign attempt I tried to whoop Serbia's ass as Hungary and ended up getting my own ass beat because I didn't know army morale gets reduced when you walking
>>2210801>I didn't know army morale gets reduced when you walkingthankfully I didn't discover it during a crucial moment, but holy fuck I'm so happy about that change
>>2210789Yeah.The difference in sieges is sweet, I think it was 2 for +1, 4 for +2 and 8 for a +3 bonus. Pretty sure hofnice can't get any higher I still had only +3 with 18 in an army.
>>2210800Same only issue is that there were some bugs and other oddities. Like the western schism and PUs being messed up.And me cucking myself from making france enter the hre.
Do estates build buildings for you?
>no alerts>can't believe it>wait for a month tick>still no alertsI've done it. I've gotten everybody to shut the fuck up.
So ideally your towns and cities should always go on coastal flatlands with low vegetation, right? Is there anything I'm missing here?
>>2210760They have a silver province, and Europe starts out in the bullion famine and desperate for precious metals. They're probably making ridiculous bank from minting, as well as exporting the silver.

>>2210750What you need is control
>>2210809Yes but they can qlso build estate spefic buildings which so nothing but give them more power
>>2210819Bruh just buy low sell high
>>2210819Wait until the ottomans flip orthodox, conquer the Thrace area sack constantinople, release the Latin Empire and convert everyone in the area to Venetian by event, keep attacking the mottos because everytime you destroy the orthodox patriarchate you get 5k cash.

What's a small but safe nation that isn't locked out of expansion? I want to try micromanaging locations, production, trade, population and so on to get used to them and doing that with a country that starts with a lot of locations is pretty overwhelming.

Would you say that this is the most complex game on the market right now?
>>2210954beaten by minesweeper
Damn the AI is retarded. One stack is just sitting on a tile they occuppied starving themselves.
>>2210723I know it's for gameplay reasons, but how the fuck does a native go bankrupt and even acquire loans in the first place?“ Did he walk down to the Council Credit Lodge to take out a buffalo-backed loan? When he defaulted did they repossess his teepee?
>>2210954Yes, I'm really looking forward to AI getting some much needed buffs and mods, but it's by far the best paradox game on release in a while outside that imperator game which they abandoned. This is literally eu3/vicky2/hoi3 levels of kino and nobody can tell me otherwise
>>2210960You say that as if lending and borrowing things was invented in 14th century europe
lmao what
>>2210963agreed. AI needs to be smarter, but the depth is amazing
>>2210960Is money even a real concept if you're an isolated tribe that doesn't have access to the global market? Natives out there using fake made up money.
Why does camera up get bound to W upon exiting the game even though I specifically unbind it everytime, assign some garbage hotkey such as alt + shift + 7 so I can have the political map on W like in EU4? Absolute jank

Frankly I don't get it, it's 1342 and I managed to save enough to build like 4 buildings that were supposed to increase my tax income in my capital and other cities but it's barely climbed up to 3 a month and I don't have a navy or army yet
>>2211008country?
Coldest month in a lot of places in the Balkans is around 0 degrees and since they used the Koppen climate classification on an area that straddles that isotherm, this clusterfuck ensued.I don't know what winter power is and what it does, but from what I've seen 1-9 is mild, 10-19 normal and 20-30 severe, but it's immersion breaking to see snow avoiding the imaginary, arbitrary subtropical boundaries and actually going from a winter rating of 15 to complete absence.
>>2211000It does.
i guess your subjects will never embark
>>2211017Came here to ask the same thing. How do I get my vassals to come to France? They don't have ships but I have a ton. I've been in two wars where I fought for a year, winning constant victories, then had to peace out because I don't have enough men to hold a lot of land or defeat the bigger French army.
>>2211019same question. all of my welsh marches are useless
How come land I conquered is still using their foreign market despite me integrating it and it touching my borders? The people are unsatisfied because they are lacking so many resources that I could easily provide if they just used one of my existing markets
>>2211039Market mapmode -> hover over a province.
>>2210722Get a slave market. You might need to manually import slaves.
>>2211011Provence

If I play Aragon in this game can I PU Castile for free like in EU4 or will they PU me for free instead even if it's a player nation?
I got raped so hard. I didn't really focus on military and figured I'd be fine with alliances, but no one fucking joined the wars.
>>2211066There's no railroading for any of the Iberian PU's I believe. You can try and aim for a PU though, it feels easier here than in EU4. And even if you get PU'd by Castile you can switch over to them via the PU international organization laws.
>>2211067>I got raped so hardHow can this happen with brain dead AI?
>>22110722 countries declared on me at the same time. Both had larger armies. Granted they could've won the war in 1/10th the amount of time it took them, but it wasn't exactly winnable.

Anyone else constantly have their building time in the outliner suddenly go negative? Like -500 days to completion
>>2211082Yeah, think the GUI is just bugged and it doesn't really mean anything at all.

>>2211096>>think im just gonna get some loans automaticallyThat's what happened to me, you probably went too far into the red.
>>2211096Are your burghers or other estates taxed to seven hells? If yes, they may be too broke to give you loans so you just go bankrupt. Though when I took a loan as Poland, it was from a bank in Italy so not sure how that works

nice balancing. 15 shitty levie soldiers can be forced to join my army for 5 years income
>>2211125There's a cabinet action to promote migration towards a certain province.
>>2211125Fulfill pops needs with abundance of goods especially food
>>2211102Timurids seem like they'd be a fun playthrough for this reason. Conquer a giant empire with Timur then spend the rest of the game trying to keep it from exploding, turn it into a confederation of vassals & fiefdoms then slowly integrate it into a real state over time.
>>2211132It was 15 good men
>>2211132How do you know if they are shitty levie soldiersCould be an order of ubermensch
I look away for a second and the golden horde has evaporated and been replaced by various tribes, hordes and even a tatar republic of Crimea
Is it the point that you build buildings and they slowly get laborer pops migrating from other places and like 5 a month being promoted until the building is filled after like 20 months?
>save money for 20 years>upgrade my saffron rgo >INCOME ALMOST OVER 1 DUCAT WHEN MAX MINTING>get annexed by my 10 time bigger neighborComfy af

>Importing silver just to mint itSurely nothing can go wrong
>>2211141They are an army based country so the moment they lose a battle too bad, they immediately explode.
>>2211152The Mamluks should work similarly IMO, they're just the elite ruling class of ex-slaves in Egypt, when the army (the actual Mamluks themselves) gets defeated they should just pop out Egypt, Syria, etc. for easy conquest by the Ottomans or whoever won the Anatolian thunderdome
>>2211152>>2211141I keep punching the Golden horde but they only have rebel revolts then reform as usual

EUV invalidates EU4 by existing. I didnt think I would like it but its a lot better in almost every regard. They just need to make hotkeys for everything again.
holy kek this font
>>2211158Not really, the Mamlukes were very enmeshed in the civilian elite of Egypt & Syria. The Mamluks past the 13th century were more like Roman patricians than actual roving slave-soldiers, ruling as bureaucrats in alliance with the local native elite especially since often it was their descendants who ruled (who didn't really get much in the way of military training and disdained the thought of being portrayed as slaves). And it was very much a dynastic state, most "Mamluk" Sultans were related by blood to their predecessor and succeeded to the throne on that basis.
>>2211160>be playing eu4>conquer gold mine>dev click to 10>never worry about money ever again, as the 6 ducats from the gold mine will fund your expansion into rich trade nodesif only eu5 was this easy, but alas gold and silver are actual trade goods and not a money printer
>>2211160Eu4 is just a dog shit game in general and no amount of mods can fix what is inherently a bad game. Eu5 is the opposite, great foundation and will only get better from here unless johan cucks to the seething reddit faggots who cry over it not being a baby manaslop game
Why am I buying food if there's a surplus in my market?
>>2211169>unless johan cucks to the seething reddit faggots who cry over it not being a baby manaslop gameI'm so fucking scared of this. Luckily in reality reddit actually seems to agree. The steam reviews however are full of kiddies who can't get their instant gratification from blobbing by 20 years from start
>>2211172that's the million ducat question right now
Why am i in portugal in the burgos market? It says my pops want like 0.01 wheat from there
>spent 700 ducats building a road all the way to cornwall for muh control>realize its capped at 0% due to some fucking law i cant changeit's so over
>>2211174Buy the game and leave a positive review. If this game is only purchased by redditors who cry about it being complex and there being no mana, they're going to revamp the game mid-development to add it in.
>>2211175My economy is super healthy except for like -10 on food tanking everything.
>>2211178Become ungovernable: Cornwall edition
>>2211182>>2211175I think I get it. Two of my provinces fall under a different market that has a deficit. This means that even if there's a province producing food right next to them, those provinces will have to buy food from the other market at steep prices. This is kinda retarded desu.
>>2211178what law?
20~ hours in and i havent even touched trade. i've learned the ropes of everything except trade, it's been automated. QRD?
>>2211178Wait until Cornwall invokes their trump card>teleports behind u>steals 500 gold>builds 20 buildings that all have -100% controlNothing personel kid
>>2211174I hope at most they'll just get some alternative mode. I really hope the vision is maintained. The realism is a lot more engaging and fun. It is about time creators start standing up for their products instead of caving to loud minorities.
>>2211192Keep it automated. The most profitable situation changes waaaay too often to deal with it manually. Just do whatever you can to increase your trade advantage and capacity.
>>2211192It seems like you can automate part of it and leave the rest to be done manually if you want. Every time I build a new market my income increases by a decent bit, so it seems like one of the better ways to make money.
Anybody know how to get seazones to change markets? I can't even see what's affecting it, the tooltip shows nothing
>>2211196This desuI kind of like the idea of 'the government' not bothering with trade, I just the pretend the Automation is my merchants doing it for me
Are those websites that offer the game at 45 euro legit or scams? The various sites listed on gg.deals for example. Not an ad I genuinely want to know if I can save 15 euro on the game. I want to buy it to track playtime and chievos.
Is it just me or is trade retardedly easy? Just do all the trades that maximize your profits, including imports. Lock them. Technically set it to automate so if/when a trade ends, the AI can do something to make some money in case you don’t notice a profitable trade ends. Then just cancel the AI trade and do another profitable trade. I’m actually making some money now.I also learned you have to adjust the amount of trade capacity the AI can use or you’re simply not trading as much as you can if it’s automated.
>>221120215 euros is the price of a beer. you can afford the game bro
>>2211200Having your navy patrol exerts some kind of influence, so maybe that.
>>2211192Manual trade is pretty much just for someone who wants to do nearly exclusively that for a campaign.
>>2211201>I just the pretend the Automation is my merchants doing it for mewhich is ironic, because burghers have their own trade as well I believe.
>>2211178>>2211191>stannary courtnvm, i see it now. i guess it's -25% control until an event in 1601
>>2211195They won't cave to loud minorities. They will cave to the people who actually buy the games and are expressing distaste. All they care about is money.
>>2211204yeah you can play it like that but you can use trade to sorta specialize your economy to make even more moneyor attempt to devalue other countries production by crashing their prices etc
>>2211210>cucked by the CornishOh no no anglochads… not like this…
>>2211205I'm a fresh uni masters graduate and earn 750 euro a month working a fire alarm R&D job (currently slacking off shitposting on 4chan).
>>2211214I saw some videos about specialization, but I don’t even know where to start with that. Should I just see what my best exports are and expand those RGOs? My best exports seem to be raw materials but they’re in places with very low control.
despite france having 2x military size, it's kind of too easy as england because of the horrible AI i managed to siege down paris because they're too busy trying to take aquitaine (the AI literally can't decide if they want to sit on bordeaux or not so they never siege it down)
>>2211211Trannies aren't people and don't buy games, you're right
>>2211218How do they employ people constantly to research and develop fire alarms? Is it just a bunch of meetings? Do you get a lot of free time?
>>2211202InstantGaming is legit, buy all my shit from them, don't know about the rest
>>2211206That's why I'm asking, if you have high maritime influence in a sea tile you get a lot of trade advantage, but no one else has any presence in my coast and the tiles still belong to a different market.
>>2211218>750 a monthGrim. Eastern or southern Europe?
I was so focused on repeatedly invading France and building markets that I forgot about the Black Death. Is there anything I can do or is it fucked?
>>2211234you could have mitigated the damage a little bit if you were prepared - but it will destroy you and everyone else no matter what.
>>2211228It's a fire alarm manufacturing company with like 60 employees. We sell worldwide but mostly to niche markets nobody wants to work with like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Moldova, soon Russia and Israel too, but also within my country.My job is to write code for the fire alarms. Currently I'm developing a system to remotely operate and monitor one of our fire alarm control panels using VNC or a desktop app + a TCP connection.>>2211232Both, actually. My country is on the EU5 map in it's rough present day borders. I'm also on a 6 month probation period (expires Jan 15th) after which I'm most likely getting my pay increased as I sign a proper permanent contract.
>>2211219for example, i'm playing england, and i have a lot of wool RGOSa lot of them are in low control locations, so i can't tax them as muchso what i do is build Spinner's Guilds in london where i have high controlthey'll use the wool to make cloth, i'll get big tax in london because of 100% control and i can sell cloth to other markets instead of wool which makes more money because my cloth price is so low in comparison
>>2211236What really matters is that France also gets raped and it's going to happen. They've been desperately buying mercs and building carpenters. My post plague QUALITY army of 1000 men will defeat the trash French levy mob of 2,000.
>be broke as fuck>nobles and burgers randomly give me 46 gold>happens twiceHow are things going so right and how can I make this happen more?
>>2211234I'm currently trying a super minmax strategy as bohemia, building as many hospitals as possible in me and vassals, and picking optimal plague choices (the one that gives more disease resistance passively, blaming Jews, and going full Madagascar when any neighbor has plague) to see if i can get away with only losing 25% of pops. If I succeed, I will be undisputably the champion of earth and go fuck up golden horse, France, spain, and ingerland
im investing in libraries across the country, hopefully get literacy up and then better research, advance faster. Gonna be a tall england run.
>>2211245I swear an event like this saved me once but I forget what exactly happened.
>>2211192The game blatantly recommends automating it in the hints and obviously the market capacity system is streamlined into it. There's definitely cool stuff you can do with it but your country is totally functional without messing with it. If you leave some capacity open for occasional deficits and import them manually that's probably close enough to optimal.
>>2211239Ah, that makes sense. Thanks, anon. While I’m asking questions, can you explain other ways to increase control? I know roads and maritime presence do it, and centralization(?) and the cabinet action, but what else? And does maritime presence just go up with a bigger navy sitting in my capital port?
How the FUCK do I get the rennaisance institution to spread to me?
>>2211246I lost 900k+ as Bohemia, it fucked my starting levy of 20k down to like 12k and it still hasn't fully recovered in 1398 despite me conquering new lands, integrating a few small vassals and Moravia, and bringing my pops up over 2m again. It's just over, nobody wants to levy anymore.
>>2211259 (me)Actually can the lack of levies be explained by my reduced percentage of peasants? A lot of them become labourers to work in the silver mines.
>be lithuania>declare war on denmark for estonia>denmark gets civil war>civil war faction occupies everything i cant reach>once thats complete i annex every location i control for free and denmark leaves the war
>>2211255Not him but some buildings will set far away provinces as a secondary control source. I think it's one of the mil or noble buildings. As per the description, if the control from the capital is higher it will supersede it as the source.
>20 hours in>im at 1368I like to take it slow
>>2211263Well, Denmark no longer exists after that because the Revolt turns into Denmark if they full occupy. You should also not have a truce, right? A similar thing happened to me when fighting Byz.
>>2211257Give fleet basing to a nation that has it and ask for it yourself
since the capital is the only place where you can actually make money, i should just drain the countryside and send everyone there
>>2211261I think it's just based on pops generally. I read something that said different types of pops give different soldiers. IDK I really need to read through the tips page.
The game makes crashes and makes the SSD disappear from my computer WTF???
>>2211284There are some laws you can pass through research which can add for example 1% extra peasant levy or 20% extra Noble levy.>>2211286Update SSD firmware with Samsung Magician>not Samsung SSDoh nonononono
How do i view what cores a province/location has?
really like the advances trees
How do you annex a PU? I have max centralisation but I can't figure out how to annex them
>>2211291Click on it to open its menu. Go to its military tab next to infrastructure. It should show both who is present there and cores.
>>2211255try to increase proximity to capital (look at the proximity mapmode)you can get 20 from building baliff in rural settlements10 for max centralizationland/naval values give -10% proximity over land/-1 (flat) proximity over maritimeit seems better to go naval if you have lots of coasts because harbor capacity gives you a lot of proximity, up to -75% proximity cost when the harbor is at 100% capacitydeveloping a location increases proximity too, so try to create a chain of towns from your capital along your roads
Playing as a BBC in Japan. Any questions?
>>2211160>My verdict is in. EUV invalidates EU4 by existing The moment they announced it would have actual pops and that there'd be actual consequences to throwing millions of bodies at enemies instead of manpower being monopoly money that doesnt matter this was always gonna be the case.
>>2211296Yasuke-dono... ore no knees wa bendingu on their own
>>2211296Did the glitch where they all delete their armies get fixed?
Should I use these dudes
>>2211301what even are they, whores to fuck on their way to war to improve morale? slave traders following the army to buy the captured PoW's as slaves? supply wagons?
>>2211292sameI always loved Imperator Rome desu and I'm glad they took the stuff I liked from t
>>2211201>I kind of like the idea of 'the government' not bothering with trade, I just the pretend the Automation is my merchants doing it for methis is literally how laissez faire policy worked in Victoria 2 so you're in good company. victoria 3 has manual trade/construction for everybody because there's nothing else to do in the game, since they made a victorian era map painter while forgetting to add in warfare, naval battles, diplomacy, or politics lol
>>2211303>>2211301I believe they function as supply wagons but they also have combat stats so I enjoy thinking of them as camp chefs who go behind enemy lines to cannibalize the enemy
>>2211297i wonder if eu5 mp will be akin to vic2 mp
>>2211303literally all of the above
my son is a fucking failure and I want him dead
>>2211299Never seen that, but I can barely field a few hundred people due to the lack of weapons on the market.
How do I view all currently closed buildings?
THE GREAT dripfed INVASION OF ENGLAND
Is Navarra even a viable nation in this game? or is forever destined to be gobbled by France and/or Castile in the long run? Does the old "annex English Aquitaine" or "escape to Newfoundland" strategies still work as in EU4?
How do you guys find the OST so far? Only 'Pain is salvation' stood out for me, the rest is really average is Andreas Waldetoft not the one who made the soundtracks?
a question still remains unanswered:How do i marry my sister?
so which is more effective; expel the infected or segregate the sick?
>>2211331Mod coming soon
>>2211328i find that it never fuckin plays
>>2211331Are you zoroastrian yet?
>>2211328its all forgettable

my son is unmarried. looking around for a foreign wife but they are all irrelevant small shitholes. should i leave him unmarried till the right country comes?
>>2211338no, do they het the ability?
>>2211342all the wives get taken by the AI as soon as they appear bwo... it's over we're doomed to inceldom...
>>2210919>A DLC just for a single alliance of a single country is criminally PDXIt's a France and Scotland DLC.
>>2211332Segregate for the modifier lol
>>2211331make her rule another country then royal marry her
so am I doing ok?
>>2211353why's your balance in the negatives, shouldn't you be filthy rich from italian trade?
>>2211310Koreans and Chinese still seethe about Japanese camp followers to this day
>>2211328It's not as bombastic as a lot of the EU4 tracks were. There's a lot of dynamics, some pieces more calm and somber like Thirty Years which I really enjoy to change pace from tracks like Pain is Salvation which for me usually plays when I'm at war. The game sometimes has quiet moments with no music at all which I prefer. I want moments where there's quiet, and moments where there's something to emotionally bolster what's happening in the game. They should probably add more controls for the music algorithm and its triggers for those who want more or less.
How do get my pops to FUCK more before new techs happen.
>>2211357cost of court while it's going to 100I also saved a ton of money and spammed buildings so I think it's that
>>2211328I never listen to paradox OSTs. I either put a podcast on in the background or play the historical music of the country I’m playing.
>>2211331Name your son Koyomi and your daughter Karen while playing as a Daimyo. Then you can do it once your current ruler dies and you switch to the heir.

Is there a default starter nation yet?
>>2211376I need to know because I don't want my game to get interrupted. I assume it will be in about 2 hours and 19 minutes.
>>2211380Wehale
>>2211380Bohemia
ough.... my brain hurts.......how do i granada.....
>>2211392you either play Morocco, Tunis or Castille (forma de Muslim) instead
is it true muslim religions are op?
>>2211380Portugal if you want to be safe and focus on economy. Ottomans if you want to learn war and empire-building.
>>2211400You can get zuttbroken so yes
>>2211380Aak'u
>>2211400they let you steal pops as slaves when you occupy a province and they get instantly teleported to your country as actual pops of the source province's culture and religion
Is spamming food orchards a viable strategy to become self sufficient or should I just import it? I have a few livestock and wheat locations that produce food in the hundreds while everywhere else is in the negative.
how does the claim throne CB worki don't see anything in peace treaty

Where did you guys get the game? Is the fitgirl repack up yet?
>>2211428get a higher rank like kingsdom
Autists alone will keep this game alive, while blobniggers fuck off back with EU4
>>2211439We bought it because we arent third worlders who cant afford it
>>2211439its on all the usual sites and yes that repack is up
>>2211442>cant afford itThere is a difference between being able to and wanting to afford something.Paradox already has plenty of my money

>>2211441Victoria bros... we won
KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKChannel food delivery!
>>2211462Yes, its messy atm but the foundation is a lot better than the EU IV version. Just hoping they build on it instead of cucking to blobcels.
>>2211462The reforms you get out of it are really good
>>2211436Get strategic. Use shit like forts to fuck up the hordes. Find ways to fuck them over financially like pumping horde markets full of their profit goods. Cut horde needs off. Ally with horde enemies.
>>2211468even if they fuck it up it can be fixed with mods
>>2211464Do you get a PU on Anglostan eventually if you rape them hard enough?
missions are op as shit if you enable rewards for all of themthe war one gave me +30 research and it's not even 50% complete
>>2211462At least they're doing something new. The organizations and institutions seem cumbersome at first but it's fun to me. Like how in eu3 the HRE had its own layer of game going on turned up to 11
i wake, woke you might even saytime to continue colonizing Polynesiafigured out that all my financial problems are because i gave estates too many privileges at the start, and then chose councilors without thinking, when i should have always preferred my own dynasty even if they arent the bestwill still try to recover instead of restarting
How do you designate locations/provinces of interest so the AI transfers you control?
>>2211458Historically PUs were fickle and a pain in the ass in real life too. Like others said it has some upsides but in EU4 it was free and easy real estate like 90% of the time. I'd rather a PU has weight and a chance of breaking free than having them act like a vassal

Apparently you can make your own navies and armies mercenaries and have other countries hire them, has anyone done that yet? Apparently I had 1 transport as a merc since the start of the game but I never got any money or notification about it
>>2211501Well, look at that. Why if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.
>>2211504yes, i did it. pay is okay. you lose manpower though which is hard to get early game
>>2211500>Son is a retardMonkeys paw
>>2211498You can supposedly execute them in wars too. Would be funny to use that to force a personal union.

>>2211529apparently not
>>2211527Those are building based Daimyos that all swear fealty to the Shogunate / Emperor
>>2211527those are the BBCs of Japan, they are clans
>>2211518There's lots of these normalfags niggers on /v/ too. They are unironically calling eu4 a good game. I want them to be tortured to death. I hope johan puts his foot down and says something like>If you like the casual world conquest with no difficulty, play EU4, with EU5 we went back to our roots and in the direction I originally wanted. Now it's possible with the technology we have. Don't worry, we will still put out updated for EU4 so you low IQ brown trannies can be satisfied. Moved to off topic
Can banks take land?
Are there this many BBC's in japan in real life?
can i make a territory into a colony if i declined the decision when it became large enough? there's so many fucking menus i can't find a button for it
>>2211542Unless the shareholders throw a fit I doubt they'll change course. The sales for EUV are not bad, and like HOI4 if they keep improving it the player count will either go up or at the least make decent DLC sales
>>2211546If you create a subject normally then colony should be one of the available subject types, assuming it's overseas and all.
>>2211542/v/ is filled with faggots that have shit taste and then complain that everything they play is bad. They are normalfags that want to pretend to have niche interests.
EU5 bad because I can't blob, simple as.
huh?

>>2211578we need more parliament appeasements for more granular control
the road building system is utter aidsyou're telling me I have to click location by location and start building from each individually, not just my capitalcouldn't they at least make it so you build roads between province capitals or areas?
>>2211593Right click a province
>>2211562Same. I absolutely adored EU3 and it was my main game. EU4 was a foul experience and I hope every rat bastard who got in through EU4 thoroughly enjoys EU5 doing to their game what EU4 did to mine.
>>2211484i now realize i should have been colonizing new zealand far earlier, they are one of the fewer pops that have the same religion as me, just need to accept their culture and i have like 40k free pops
>>2211580When at the country select screen, hover your mouse in the middle bottom to open up the map modes. In the Government section you can open the Pop - building - army based country map modes and play whatever's playable

This should eliminate instances of the IA flip-flopping between two policies>Cores now decay for countries who are no longer relevant after they cease to exist.>Prosperity decline from being occupied has been reduced from 5% to 1% per month.>Impact from Bankruptcy now scales down over five years instead of being the same for five years>Bankruptcy no longer impacts prosperity.>You can now always call in an ally in a war, even beyond the first year.>Fighting a war together now grants explicit food access.>AI will no longer release tiny subjects>AI can now annex multiple subjects at the same time as long as the opinion of ongoing annexations is maxed out and is not progressing slower than base speed>AI will now prioritize attacking neighbors that they have CBs against, rather than making them subjects via diplomacy>Apparently lots of UI fixes verdict<get the patch>get the patch<get the patch

>>2211670this will increase control outside of the capital I assume, or reduce the proximity penalty if you will

>>2211722Which one?
torrent when

whatever, somebody will update the torrent hours later
>>2211728The game has diplo mana. Johan though he could fool us by calling the mana "diplomats" and making the mana bar very small.
>>2211729and 1 week after the screenshot I was just elected Holy Roman Emperor, wtf do I do
>>2211728yeah, they're just visual and have no impact on the game. when you click them you get a pop up that gives you a dopamine hit. they also added a map painter where you can color the map your color

If I send an explorer out, will he only explore what he can despite the amount of months it says it will take? Can I cancel it part of the way through? I just want to discover a bit of land but can't afford the full expedition based off of how much per month for how many months it is.
how do I zoom without mousewheel? can't find a way to keybind it and my wheel is semi-fucked

>>2211784France is a monster, I won 4 wars against them in the 100 years war but they're still out pacing me in manpower, and they got a union with Naples/Provence
What's the optimal army composition for Euro tags?
>>2211796>army compositionNot a thing in Eu5
how the fuck does naval work in this gamei click on patrol the seas, click the zones i want patrolled and then they just sit there and jerk off is it working as intended or what am i doing wrong
>>2211801I dont fucking know either, transport is also stupid. I just do it all manually
goddamn, i love the AI actually declaring wars it can lose. EU4 was a snoozefest once you got 20 years in. the only time you'd get declared on is if you were royally fucked
>>2211776i need more graphs, any kind of indicator as to why i can go from +50 ducats one month to +2 for the next severalthat and also ways to get more labourers for my buildings but that's probably just a result of my avarice
>>2211807more laborers you need more promotionpromotion comes from high stability, better control, better literacy, and other stuff
>>2211793wait, you can force-populate a colony? i discovered an island but it's populating incredibly slowly through colonial charter, is there a way to just sail thousands of people there?
Good to see Paradox is finally using the correct name.
>WHY IS FRANCE SO STRONGkinda historically accurate until the 1800s
>>2211807My bet? Food deficit during winter.As a consequence your trade capacity has to go towards expensive food imports and you no longer make cash money from trade.
Women just can't help themselves. How tf can a woman become leader of Ottomans and ofc her first act is to dispose of Islam (ok now that I think about it - it's kinda based lol)
>>2211812VGH
>>2211794remember France was the most populous country for centuries in Europe (plus huge agricultural potential)
>>2211814>until the 1800syou mean the era where they literally 1v6'd the entirety of europe 7 times?
>>2211791Idk if Eu5 is different but I had the same problem awhile back (at the time I was playing Imperator Rome) and there wasn't any way to do it in game. If you have a gaming mouse you can probably rebind scroll wheel to the alternate buttons, which is what I did, otherwise I guess you'll have to find software that lets you map keyboard inputs to mouse inputs.
>>2211805wait really that's a thing???? holy based
>have to waste all my prestige and republican tradition ensuring shitters marry lowborns otherwise I run out of characterswew
>>2211809is there anything in the early game for literacy? stability is seriously slow too but i'm using cabinet actionsi *would* put more money into it but that kinda defeats my goal of trying to make more raw money>>2211816shit, that happens? i thought i had enough food but maybe not
oh no... i hope the new patch doesn't remove the genocide button
>>2211827libraries and shit
Is France the new Ottomans?
when is a modern day mod coming out? I want to play as a south korean chaebol bbc and jew my way across the world
>>2211811there's a cabinet action to transfer people which boosts it massively (mine went from 46 to 164) but that's all
>>2211801Having the navy in a sea zone increases maritime presence in that tile and the surrounding area. Using patrol the seas just leaves the navy there until it reaches max presence and then moves it if necessary. There's a maritime presence mapmode that shows you you how much you have and how it's increasing/decreasing
>>2211834Extended Timeline is confirmed happening for euv but in development; to start, it's just going to be a nigh 1:1 port and then over time they'll revamp area by area to capitalize on the granularity of locations and other shitThat's all I remember from what the dev said.
>>2211834Hopefully never. Keep your tranny slop away from eu5

>>2211794>>2211821Yeah, the only reason of why France didn't conquer Europe in the middle ages was because Capetians were massive retards.
my brain hurts nonniesaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait's been 5 hours and i haven't even unpaused
>>2211807>>2211827If you have your legitimacy slider maxed (which imo is the correct thing to do) then whenever it drops below 100 your court costs absolutely skyrocket because it goes towards increasing legitimacy rather than simply maintaining it. I doubt food is the culprit unless you're in a very weird situation.
>erm actually you need to send spys to make a spy ring in each enemy nation so you can forge CB, you can't just conquer stuff!!!
>>2211836Which action? The encourage migration one? It doesn't seem to even work for mine, I'm getting 15 per month. Maybe I need to increase maritime presence somehow
what did johan mean by this
how do I build a port as a BBC

>>2211880Keyed.
>>2211865If incest doesn't create abominations against God and beauty, I'm going to be very disappointed
>>2211827It can happen. Food production in winter is always lower, if you do not produce enough food in excess to counter it the people start eating from your good storage.If trade is automated and you don't produce enough food in the other seasons to quickly fill it or fill it at all the trade will shift to import food.Both the increased food demand driving up price and the used trade capacity no longer being available for other trades can heavily impact income.
>cant colonize because it suddenly requires 50% of the pops to be your religion and culture instead of 35%what the shit?

>>2211889then you absolutely rape your stability
So whats the deal with military? Do you just micro in this game?

so how far did you get into the late game yet anon
>>2211869Because the AI sees a button and clicks it. They do the same shit in defensive alliances, they constantly change the alliance laws

>>2211928It was Kiev when I was a kid, and on every map. But I guess you're comitting a heckin genocide if you don't bend the knee to the new spelling. it's why I keep spelling Türkiye as Turkey personally
so how do I even conquer places? I was trying holland and I cant seem to get enough support for casus beli that let me take over areas, only superiority shit from spy networks? My parliament support is just stuck at 50%.I think I get the econemy and shit but not sure how to actually start conquering.
>>2211946you gotta give the parliament what it wants to earn support
Yeah the AI needs some work alright
Oh no
>>2211950you had 200 years to prepare for the colonizers...
>>2211944>it's why I keep spelling Türkiye as Turkey personallyI've literally only ever seen one non-Turk call it Türkiye and it was some random guy that was edating a Turkish girl and when I asked him why he called it that he said "my gf told me it's the correct spelling"
>>2211946in the early game you just basically expand everywhere you can get reasonable proximity and control on and build your tax base and rely on market migration
I'm on 1460 and game crashes instantly, has anyone found a solution for this or is it over?
>>2211942I have never taken more than one incidental loan as England, you are doing something wrong with your budget. Try spending less on candles
i dont fucking understand how food workswhy does 1 province that doent grow food have to buy it from the market at the increased price when i have 5 provinces right next to it that grow it at a surplus
What's the main factor in annexation speed? Is it just size?I'm wondering if I should annex smaller vassals first
>>2211732>>2211746Its not mana, mana facilitated good thing happens buttons. EUIV already had diplomats btw. It just models a states capacity for diplomacy.
>>2211921It's grammatically correct but very ESL:>The only reason to summon others in front of the ruler can be to give orders, not to discuss policy.vs.>The only reason to summon others in front of the ruler is to give orders, not to discuss policy.vs. >The reason to summon others in front of the ruler is to give orders, not discuss policy. (how I would've written it)Using "can be" in conjunction with "only" like this is just a very awkward construction: "The only way to communicate can be speech."And adding the "not to discuss policy" when you've already specified "only" is sort of redundant and seems awkward. Also, without the comma it reads as a completely different sentence—which to be fair happens often in English. But all of these small things together make it a very difficult sentence to parse. I've also noticed stuff like "loose" instead of "lose" which is a very common ESL mistake you see online. I'd guess that Paradox devs wrote the tooltips themselves rather than hiring a proper writer.
>>2211947Does that mechanic go away in the end game and you go absolute? the idea of Louis XIV requesting politely his estates says he can invade Alsace seems dumb
>>2211952I have embraced a total of 1 institution

The CC testers must've been really useless if an obvious bug like the PU CB got through.
>>2211973yeah that's the most unbelievable one for me as well, it's such an obviously broken mechanic for a game that's been played for hundreds of hours by some CC'syou're telling me Red Hawk or Laith never used the claim throne CB?
>>2211973>cc testersyou mean like 4 streamers
God the economy is such a rollercoaster if you're split between 2 markets in the lowlands (Brugge and Köln). One minute I'm making bank and the other I'm spending all my money on food because my capital flipped to Brugge which has a food deficit.
>>2211947how do you do that? It seems like I cant pass anything nor do I see anything that boosts parliament shit.
>>2211973They literally outsourced QA to streamers. Absolute Habibi constantly mentions that he's a QA at Paradox for example
>>2211979that's the point of the market access preference diplomacy action
>>2211950OH NO
>>2211956but when should I expect to start warring?
>>2211971I actually love the game. It's just clear that they put minimal effort into writing, which was probably for the best: I'd rather it be an unpolished gem than a polished turd.
>>2211944I find the bigger issue is that if we're going the Kyiv route then you'd also have to 'natify' the rest of the world. I'd have no problem with that personally
>>2211986billions must die...
>>2211988when you can afford it.
why can I just leave battles day 1 and never fight enemies?
>>2211981when parliament is in session in the parliaments tab there will be things they are requesting that you can grant for more support
>>2211973Another huge bug was that if you played a Daimyo long enough for the Sengoku Jidai to happen, you would get your game ended because you didn't become landed, the new landed Daimyos replaced you
>>2211992i mean I dont even know how to get a casus belli with parliament because its always been 50%>>2211995they seem to always fail though and then I take a big stability hit.
>>2211994...can you? Disengaging day 1 doesn't sound intended.
i get france is strong but they just destroyed a coalition of me, sweden, spain, and portugal
>>2211998yep, can disengage after 1 hour every time
>>2211997You're supposed to give concessions to your estates in the tab that will improve the parliament support, once you're at 50% you can trade that support for a claim.
>>2212001Day 2 patch fucking WHEN
>start as portugal>castile rivals me day1GG
>>2212002Just pick what ever has the highest support so you don't have to bother with that nonsense

wouldn't you ideally want a culture like wallonian as your primary culture so you can cheaply accept basically every culture in centro-western europe?
>>2212010Even if they go with the excuse of "Well, people call it those names these days"But not even WIkipedia calls it "Kyiv" or "Principality of Kyiv"
>>2212002where is that tab? There are so many.
>>2210449Thank you, Johan-sensei.
>>2212022It's in the parliament tab, you can only give concessions when parliament is in session, you can also see how much support a concession will give.
>>2212017Wait the British group is just English?
>>2211978More like 50 if even fucking Swimmy had 115 hours when he posted his review.

>>2212032uhoh, lambert melty
>>2212028Always has been.
Letting Asia colonize is a mistake. It messes with a lot of history because they all start sending colonies into all of the empty land. This leads to a bunch of nations wasting money and becoming distracted. It is honestly a shame because there are some areas that should colonize or at least have the possibility of becoming so. It also would be interesting to have Asians progress naturally and then have a chance to discover the New World.

>>2212064nvm it isntjust disabled that before the game gets funky
what is the most effective way to increase control/reduce proximity cost in the early game? I'm naples in 1390 and i have a bunch of roads and bailiffs connecting my capital to the adriatic coast but there just isn't enough prox-reduction to get control decently high in Epirus
>>2212036make some food nigga come on, you must have some food RGO places
>>2212067You can change game options mid game? How?
>>2212060seems like they've ditched all the fun UI Jingle Sounds from eu4 and gone for some weird thing where music will suddenly fade in or get really loud when something happensalso it doesn't seem like there are many songs
>>2212069Docks, protected harbours, wharfs. There's kind of a hard ceiling imposed by technology though, early game you have to take the vassals on the chin.

>still didnt fix the bug where character just changes its name that you gave them after adulthood
>>2212064>>2212067While I honestly would like the possibility, I'd keep it off by now. It doesn't create satisfying results. Maybe still allow the Asian AI to explore at most although I'm not sure they need that. I only left it on for my current game because I thought that it may block me from colonizing (I don't think it does, only blocks the AI).
how do bailiffs work exactly?where am I supposed to build them?
>>2212082More control, better.
>>2212083yeah but do I build them everywhere?
>>2212082bailiffs give 20 proximity, so I like to build them in towns that have 40 proximity and are already connected to the capital by roadtreat bailiffs like gas stations, you need them to get the most out of your road network
Holy fuck it's an institution!
wait, dont leave, i bring happiness and prosperity to your tribal ass, i even accepted your chitty culture
>>2212070I have RGO automated and like fifty million food bonuses and they still find ways to be hungry.
>>2211934I cannot believe they remotely tested this shit and didn't see itliterally renders the feature useless
>>2212089That is such a slow rate though
>>2212082>>2212088Bailiffs don't stack with capital control. They basically act like a new capital that provides 20 control instead of 100. You should build them in remote areas with very little control, if for some reason you don't want to just create a vassal there.

>>2211909thats an o bro not an eanyways what countries are called in other languages is frequently arbitrary and has nothing to do with the "real" name. england in japanese is called Igirisu. Mexicans do not call their neighboring superpower "America" or "The U.S", it's Los Estados Unidos. Nobody in Japan calls the country Japan, it's Nihon and the language is nihon-go (with -go being the appelation for most languages, like chinese being Chūgokugo and china is chugoku.The chinks have all sorts of weird names for other countries. America is Měiguó which means "beautiful country" and absent context you'd never fucking know it's talking about the United States

>>2212164I hate the market so fucking much. I went from gaining a good amount to suddenly it won't make me shit as the demand for everything evaporates the day of the month change. The Automated trading won't work for this either. I even took out a whole marketplace hoping I could return to the status quo I had before but it didn't fix my trade income and just means I can make even less in the rare times I do make something. My only hope is for the colonization of my home island to finish so I can at least have that expense gone.

The UI seems very moddable but who tf has the time and dignity to redo all of it for free? IG I would redo it so that information isnt crammed into the left infobox and is instead shown in a big window v2 style. There are like 3 separate country windows and they all suck
>>2212172constantly ask the other nords for "invite settlers" diplo action
>>2212173My problem is that the button literally doesn't work, I want to make my own market but it takes my money and nothing happens.

>>2212177Turn on flat map
assimilation is still way too OP.
>>2212172Before or after Black Death? Because if it is before I would recommend isolate yourself until the shit happens.
Two retard questions:>whats the point of farming villages? is the extra Food value that useful? of does it boost all production and actually make money?>what do I once I maxed out all RGOs
>>2212188theres a resistence mechanic. isolation just kicks it down the road
>>2212190>>what do I once I maxed out all RGOsYou don't need to max out RGOs straight away, just prioritize either them or buildings based on bottlenecks in your markets
>>2212190>is the extra Food value that useful?importing food if you dont have enough is really expensive and you need to supply armies with food as well, so having a lot is never really a bad thing
>>2212091>>2212174You just need to upgrade a few food RGOs. Automating it is a mistake
>>2212172colonize and accept their cultures
why does nobody want to marry my heir?
>>2212176It's 1490 and they started colonizing west Africa in my observer gameDon't get your hopes up
>>2212185Unfortunately that doesnt help
>>2212200maybe your from an irrelevant country
>>2212198Isn't Greenland like 1000 people?
someone explain to me what the point of matrilineal non-exclusive law for succession in republics is because1 - doesn't let you do any marriage at all even courtiers2 - apparently doesn't even factor in distant family of ruler

which return to monke primitive tribe is most fun to play as? i like starting off as an OPM and gradually working my way up in most paradox games
>>2212200Are you in a pu?
>>2212205There's a favor action where you can ask someone for settlers, you should constantly be doing it on Norway and Sweden
>>2212118Brown tranny hands typed this
>>2212192Nah, there was a guy who played at Iceland who managed to avoid it the disaster completely. But you had to isolate yourself in both migrations and markets for a time.
>>2212205that is enough with the council job of moving popsyou should expand through accepting other cultures
>>2212118nice "video games cause school shootings" argument faggot
>>2212205yes, and even worse you share a Ruler with Norway, which means until he dies you're absolutely crippled with a 20-20-20 stat retard tanking your entire country until he dies.Having your entire country get fucked over by somebody who you don't even have control over is the absolute worst; having a ruler with good stats is arguably even more important in V than it is IV.
>>2212219How do you move pops through the council?
>>2212223colonize distant provinces jobor whatever its called in english
Is France just unstoppable?
First you start with automating because the game is overwhelming.Then you micro yourself.Then you go back to automating because the AI does a good enough job..
Did Europe just fucking die or something?
>>2212228not if you play as england, or castile (probably)
>>2212159Depends on what they're researching and whether or not somebody wants to go through the heretic proceedings for it.
so it turns out killing the french king bugs out the great schism situation foreverfair warning.
>>2212231probably big civil war in france or something?
>>2212221he is sw*d*sh, not norwegian
how do I see where exactly does the demand for a particular good come from in a market? My furniture building keeps getting 0 production due to a lack of dyes, despite having a level 3 dye maker and not exporting dyes from my market.
>>2212232The Castile meta is forming Spain as fast as possible, but I don't know if things got easier with the new patch.
>>2212238France had all the hegemonies for like 50 years and then ended up getting replaced by Korea. That was at least 50 years ago and I haven't seen them even once since then.

I got the new paper and printing buildingsdo I just build them alongside the old ones or how do I upgrade them?
can I go to war under an Insulted CB, then in the peace deal ask for land?
>>2212252Germany or no balls
>>2212252why wouldn't you
>>2212257tempting to expand east, I'm allied to Franceother plan was to go naval and colonize
How the fuck do you claim French throne? Its my 4th war with those fucks, I already have Normandy, Brittany, good part of Artois and Aquitaine and yet the war score cost is still above 100, precisely 120 due to base of 70 and 50 from their military strength. As soon as i take more subjects to weaken them, I will "win" the HYW but without their throne. What the fuck? Has anyone succeeded?Sorry for the flashbang playing on HDR
>>2212252Are both Netherlands and the HRE mutually exclusive or you can form one after the other?
>>2212261do it, completely destroy the HRE
And here is the requirement to win HYW"More than 130 locations in France owned by England or Subject"yet no throne, no flag change, just a suck ass pop up that i won and +20 prestige
>>2212263weird, it shows as 80 cost for me when i have them beat up good haven't done it yet though because i didn't have enough land
>>2212263what's your CB?
>>2212260less cool colour and flag
Should I build villages early?
>>2212263>base of 70 and 50 from their military strength.Sounds like you have to destroy their armies then>>2212264No, it says in the picutre Netherlands is Tier II and the HRE tier IV, you can always 'move up' IIRC
>>2212265oh yeah I'm still emperor btw
>western schism>dont want france having the church under thumb>dont want the pope back in rome to fuck with hre italy eh, not sure which to support
>>2212269Its Take Capital Middlesex but its because they declared first, its still the Claim Throne CB of HYW situation
>>2212270>#2 rankpost score, I cant go higher than 10
>>2212275Depends on who you hate more. Basically as if happened in real life.
>>2212277it's all from being emperor, gives +250
>accidentally knocked over a piss jug while raging at being stackwipedffs
>>2212276but then aren't you the defender instead of the attacker?
>>2212276i dont think you can claim the throne as defender. you gotta attack
>only 3 BBCs outside of JapanWhy did they bother adding this?
>bbc is the actual acronym for landless nationsi thought you guys are shitting me
>>2212284Enjoy your East India Company DLC.
>>2212284Originally military orders were going to be playable but they disabled them as playable (I think they might still be in the game but you can't select them) because they had trouble making them fun long term, personally being a knight order going around fighting in Europe seems way more fun than being a clan in Japan who gets converted to landed anyways in 1400 so I think it's a bit disappointing.Good news is it'll make a great option in shit like Anbennar for adventurers and secret societies and shit. Vampires could also probably be a building based country
>>2212284bwait till late gameWhat, do you want every country to have BBC's in it? We have BBC's in Europe and in Japan, thats enough.
>>2212284For mods, of course
>>2212288>they disabled them as playableThey'll be playable, they just didn't make it to release. PDX already said they'll release them for free later on.
>>2212284I have BBCs in me thoughtbeit
>>2212288>because they had trouble making them fun long termDidn't stop them adding banks
We need BBC expansion
>>2212294usury is a pleasure all its own
>>2212288>AnbennarNot coming to EU5
>>2212300proofs
>>2212241It's possible some other country is buying up your dyes? If they have a higher position in the market or whatever it's called
why is it 1k in my capital and 400 in other towns?
>>2212287>East India Company DLC>not the VOC
>>2212305hover over the number
Why do two nations colonizing the same location lead to colonies that take forever to finish and reach absurdly high populations?
wtf even is anbennar, it sounds retarded
>>2212308doesn't tell me why it's "unsupported" I think
/gsg/ status?
how does the senior partner get deecided? I was the senior until recently and then it randomly switched to a weaker country
where do i see my diplo rep
>>2212312Boring gay fantasy slop.>OMG LOOK! ELVES AND WIZARDS AND ORCS!!!! I’M LITERALLY GONNA CUM!!
>>2212294Banks have a more fun long term gameplay loop. If you enjoy bank "gameplay" after 5 hours you probably will enjoy it 50 hours later but the same isn't true for military orders and mercenary companies or what ever similar combat focused one province minors.
>>2212317diplomacy tab > relations
>>2212307Its kind of pointless posting that figure given that was a false bubble that nearly crashed the Dutch economy. Its like saying Mansa Musa being the richest guy ever. They'll probably add VOC and EIC in the same dlc though
>>2211690>>2211604>>2211484holy shit 1410, i can finally afford one (1) building
>>2212314never mind I found it, need to up the dev like crazy
>>2212316There's a diplo action to become the senior partner. No notification when you lose it, reallse tstupid.
Which retard thought hegemonies were a good mechanic to introduce in the 1400's?
Getting a niggering feeling to mod the game, i almost want to buy it to release mods ... I NEED byzantine dromons and greek fire and BIG chelandions that are useful for transport and warfare... the game is UNPLAYABLE without these historical features
>>2212321>given that was a false bubbleHow is that different from the current AI bubble?
>>2212322most interesting native playthrough
>>2212312An OK fantasy mod in EU4 with trees but I can't see it doing anything other than sucking ass in EU5 mechanics the map seems massively unsuited for it
>>2212328there is still plenty to do and learn
>>2212326they'll be in the paid DLC releasing in quarter 2 2026
>>2212328I think native gameplay is actually in many ways more interesting because of this. Western powers can just automate everything and it will just be fine. If you are playing some injuns or other such meme countries you actually need to pay attention to the mechanics a bit and manually do building and trade if you want to get the snowball rolling.
I need a BBC in the Eastern Roman Empire
>>2212325Should've added them from the 1600s onwards so there'd be some shit in late game.
>>2212336i think probably like 80% of people start the gamepick spain or some other eu empireget overwhelmed in mechanicsdrop it and never play again
>realise that consolodate regiments is actually deleting my professional units instead of just moving the manpower>start separating levies from the armies so i only consolidate them >have to wait for the commander cooldown every single time you make any changes to the army for some reasonthis game is so fucking annoying
>>2212327I can't imagine the impending ai crash being as bad as Tulip Mania or the South Sea bubble.
>>2212327Because those valuations are based on regular trading by people with full market knowledge. Whereas the Dutch East India Company valuation (as well as stuff like the South Sea Company, which was maybe even worse) is based on what the biggest rube in Europe was willing to pay for a maybe a handful of shares at a time where the stock market was a new idea and stock bubbles were not an established idea.
how do i get food to my armies? they get decimated by attritian and I am barely 2 provicnes away from my country
>>2212320thanks

okay I managed to fix the Italian republican government bullshitjust switch your "Major Government Reform" in estates tab there are a few good optionsI'm going with dynastic signoria and full Medici but there is no one to marry so I had to marry the remaining boys to all Fugger girls

>>2212363they last because the ai is just as niggery as in eu4 but there are no zones of control and they just snipe your unprotected states with tiny armies
polish are not happy

Is 100 ws and thus unpickableWhat the fuck do i do here
>>2212363>256 battles
>>2212364I was thinkin if they get caught out by that only European capital countries can colonise or not. Sounds cursed
>tell subjects to be "supportive">they go off on their own and siege the enemy capital with a -50% chance instead of sticking to my army, then get decimated in the process
Im starting as castille but how the fuck do I declare rivals. I dont see it anywhere at all.
>>2212252Fucking how? I'm still struggling as Holland in 1460.
>>2212359FUGGG :DDD
can anyone explain what the right / center / left thing of the armies does? should i just balance it with the button or micro it?
What's your guys' opinion on automation?I'm going through the in-game tutorial right now and it tells you to automate estate taxation. And on one hand it irks me to enable automation, because what's the point of even playing when half the game plays itself and also will I ever care to learn these systems if I just set them to auto the entire time? But on the other it does sound like tedious micro to constantly adjust these sliders based on estate satisfaction.What do you automate, if anything at all?
Oh how the fuck do i manage control?>build roadplacebo, i did and it barely does anything>bailiffssame as aboveIs it going to get better with tech or what?
>>2212379check the alerts
>>2212384i automate some of my trade but nothing else
>>2212384I automate trade because it's a pain in the ass to do by yourself, it's just micro busyworkEverything else I do myself, if you're not playing a huge country it's perfectly manageable
>>2212384I only automate trade, too much busywork.
>>2212383you can micro that? i've just been pressing the balance button
>>2212384trade is a pain in the ass, everything else is manual
>>2212371>there are no zones of controlfake news
>>2212384Just production methods and the tax slider.>because what's the point of even playing when half the game plays itselfThe taxes are a binary mechanic: do you want to do it right and keep them happy or do you not care and want all their money? There will never be a choice that isn't those two
>>2212380idk it was pretty easy, Brabant is stronger at the start than Holland but once you have the highest pop in the area it's free
>>2212381>god consul>fugger waifu>8 artists including leonardo da vinci, brunelleschi, botticelli and perugino>papal support>emperor support>40% avg literacy>about to kick bohemia out of italy>raped both genoa and veniceItaly awakens
>>2212384no reason not to automate the estates if you don't need them over 50% for somethingthough I like to keep the nobles a little bit higher
I don't automate the tax slider because I assume it will set things to 50% and sometimes I prefer the state to have higher equilibrium.
>heir born>immediately die>16 year retard wife regencyok time to rp nation collapse i guess
>>2212370Are there more than two countries in the union?You can use the "become senior partner" thing on a weaker member that's not the senior partner and it works, probably a bug.
>>2212404would be nice if you could adjust the percentage instead of being locked to 50 but microing it seems awful
>>2212399This is a major problem with lot of mechanics in EU5. There's a correct solution or a very easy decision but actually executing on that is either 1 click with automation which usually does ok job or hundreds of clicks and constant monitoring without it. I would like to manage most of this stuff by hand but it just doesn't make sense, I can't progress the game if I have to be watching all of this garbage like a hawk and at the same time the impact on each individual click is abysmal.
>>2212408In my experience it's pretty much just the Nobles I have to fuck around with sometimes, I can always tax the others to max. So I guess I could automate those since the equilibrium at max is well over 50%. That mostly happens if you go for free subjects, I think.
i want them to add ck3 features in to character interactionsand culture/religion customization
cope & seethe
>>2212414They will only add the fart jokes and you know it
>>2212406I've savescummed all of my bad heir/ruler deaths so far. Fuck that shit, I hate CK3 and this reminds me of that game way too much.
I'm curious why the suggested exports doesn't show things like this when the profit on it is huge
Apparently you just like your personal union if your ruler dies without an heir? I wish there was some popup for this like in EU4 instead of billions other useless ones
>>2212417losing can be fun though. its still like 400 years to come back and it only feels better if you hit rock bottom first
>>2212419lose* fuck my retard life
why the fuck some retarded native ""countries"" have over 100k population?
>>2212422Losing can be fun, RNG monarch deaths ruining all of your progress and planning are not fun. My prodigy heir ain't dying in a hunting accident while leading a navy in the North Sea, that was the easiest reload of my life.
I can see a future where the nested tooltips have pointers like the value sliders that tell you the sources to get it from. And then you click on the source and it takes you right to the menu to get it. The UI needs some work but the foundation is pretty good.
>>2212415Francesama… I-I kneel…
>Heir is an idiot, send him to a military order to atleast not be worthless>Get event to execute a relative for their blunder and its the heir>Next in line is a 14 yr old prodigy with nearly maxed out statskinslaying is good
>>2212424Because they have a highly productive environment that supports large populations?
>>2212424pre colonization americas had many millions of people scattered around
>>2212418I guess that's showing the profit from trading 19.85 units, so the suggested screen would show 1.76 ducats (or maybe slightly higher if the formula accounts for the price change caused by flooding the market)
>>2212425dont send your prodigy on a fucking suicide mission and keep him home then, deserved
>>2212431>>2212433literally didn't happen
How do you balance workshop needs and population needs at start of game. Is it 90% domestic RGOs and workshops? Or is it possible to have 30% of your trade fixing these issues?Do you only want your trade to be profit and not handle needs?
>>2212427I'm gonna stop for today but basically I need to annex half of Aquitaine and I win the HYWBIGFRENCHCOCK

>>2212440can you show a single skeleton from the north american museum? i thought so
um, what? is this because my standing army is big? France has less regulars than me for some reason

>make own market>country suddenly going bankrupt
>>2212449Big Flemish Cock destroys English Bussy.
large scale warfare is legitimately unbearably annoying in this game. i might just automate at this point
I just want to buy wool and other raw materials from England so I can sell them back textiles, paper and books (so I can use the profits to unite the Low Countries). But nooooo! Monsieur le Roi Louis de Valois CCXXXIIV keeps forcing me to embargo England!And I can't do anything but submit because Monsieur de Valois has obscene amounts of levies, taxpayers, and tens of thousands of professional troops.However, I will find a way to break this man. Even if I have to load all my entire treasury into a cannon to do it.10/10 experience tho. Love the French menace.
>>2212440what I don't understand is that the two Muisca countries have 200k pops combined, but they don't even have written alphabet and agriculture researchedI'm playing as Muyquyta and my treasury is getting fucked because I can't even grow my own food, the only existing RGO is a gem mine
>>2212462>they don't even have written alphabetprobably true>agriculturethis is most certainly wrong
>>22124581 speed and micro
Does procuring remedies and isolating the country actually do anything about the black death? Also are the modifiers permanent or do they end after the situation ends?

>>2212483I was fine with defensive wars against them with my allies, but its wild that wales AI decided we could take them all on alone randomly.
>>2211082I think I figured this out. Queued buildings tick their build time down in the UI, even though they're queued and not actually getting built yet.
>>2212473>nation that dominated europe is too powerfulyeah, rulers of the time were seething as well tb h.imagine how the english felt taking big french cock all day every day.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but something bothers me about the tooltips popping up when you hover over a province. I haven't played a Paradox game in forever, was it always like this? Where they just smaller in the past? Should I turn them off/increase the delay or just get used to it

Am I supposed to play on very hard or will the ai still form up on normal
>>2212504but that doesn't explain why the game says i'm seling for 30 but only get 1.6
>>2212458>oh no I have to play the game>>2212472>>2212509>>2212498yeah I reported him lol
>>2212512I will never understand playing any other difficulty setting than normal in paradox gamesthe AI isn't smarter in the higher settings, they just get ridiculous buffs
>>2212513your industry is buying it then turning it into fine cloth or whatever, that's why when you build one of those production buildings it says "the cost of the materials are x and the sale of the goods is y"
How do I kill my heir he’s a bastard and the other son is inheriting another country
>>2212513you are getting total profit of 25 the 1,66 is profit per trade capacity, which you're using 15,09 of
>>2212492>Profit per trade capacity: 1.66>Used trade capacity: 15.09>Total profit: 25.121.66*15.09=25.049, but 1.665*15.094=21.13, so that difference just comes from the UI rounding numbers to the cent

>>2212574it's like calling every country their endonym.So Byzantium should be the Roman Empire by default, but it isn't.
>>2212574I guess the name makes sense for the actual location to be called Kyiv if Ukrainians own it. But the actual country should be called after its English name if every other country is called after its English name. Sweden isn’t called Sverige. In English, the name has always been Kiev until the war started.

How do I actually boost control and integrate conquered land? The integrate cabinet action takes decades. Is there any other way?
>>2212602should take around 50 months to integrate, not decades
How the hell do i change my succession laws?
>>2212596this tiny little icon here (see my cursor)
>>2212602For integration I don't think so. For control there's roads and sea control, some buildings too. I'm not to far in but it seems like control will get much better with tech.
>>2212581>>2212585>>2212586ETL actually, but the names for places and people can change over time for a variety of reasons. I can name plenty of examples from my native language like Beijing and BelarusIn general I'm a fan of moving towards endonyms where feasible. And in the case of Kiev/Kyiv it's pretty obvious what the precedent is.>>2212590>It's been Kiev in English for a long time and it won't stopKinda funny how this is the exact same logic some people use to justify why they should be allowed to say a slur
>>2212601It's just funny for you to fuck up your sentence while whinging about the correct use of English languageI agree with your sentiment btw
>>2212611meant to reply to >>2212607
>>2212602Release provinces as a vassal and annex them in 10 years. It'll still take a while but it's much faster. Caveat is you have to pay a bit for Diplomatic Spending and the Diplomatic Capacity can be burdensome if you have a big ally. It's still much better to free up your cabinet. Integrate still happens automatically on accepted cultures and it's also pretty fast if you have some locations in a province integrated already, so it's not totally useless, but you should mostly be integrating land through vassals. As for control, towns, bridges, roads, canals, navy if you have provinces across the sea, proximity cost, all are some things that will boost it.
>>2212614I'm afraid I don't understand where I fucked up
>>2212551dds is basically a large image file, you just need some program to view it.
>>2212585>it's like calling every country their endonym.That's not even it. Kiev and Kyiv are both so distant from Киeв and Київ that the latter two are closer to each other than either of the English pronunciations (American version of Kiev still being closer).There's not even a sound in English to replicate the Ukrainian pronunciation anyway lol.
>>2212615says my succession law is locked (maybe because i don't have any suitable heirs), guess i'm getting a third dynasty because this same thing happened to my starting one
>>2212620>>that doesn't affects him
WHAT DID I DO TO YOU FRANCE! YOU FUCKING CUNT!
>>2212625oh I understand now, thanks.
>>2212591So, tribesmen and peasants don’t do anything for you. Both need to be promoted to other pops to actually do anything. Tribesmen technically promote twice as as fast (100%) at their base whereas peasants promote at 50%. Peasants also use food while tribesmen don’t use food. However, literacy gives peasants bonuses (+2% pop promotion and 0.2% levy reinforcement speed). You can also assimilate peasants but you can’t assimilate tribesmen. Tribesmen are probably fine or better early game, but literacy and the ability to assimilate peasants probably makes them better in the long run.
>>2212594what opportunitiesas i've told you you are the one that should be moving, not them. Inviting settlers is nearly useless in my experience compare to proactive colonization
>>2212630It's a single letter, but it makes it sound extremely ESL lmao

>>2212613>exact same logic some people use to justify why they should be allowed to say a slurFucking lmao. It's not a slur it's a place name you whiny faggot. I really don't know why foreigns always think they have the right to dictate place names in foreign languages.

make new thread
Kiev isn't Russian and Kyiv isn't Ukraining becase they use a DIFFERENT FUCKING ALPHABETwhich way you transliterate the name makes zero difference in English
>>2212613The problem is that changing Kiev to Kyiv is completely political and an attempt to control people through language. It’s the type of control exercised when you’re cowed into never being able to say something that’s true but may be labeled racist, as you point out. If you control the language, you control and frame the discussion. I refuse to submit to that agenda, even though I personally support Ukraine’s right to resist Russia’s invasion.
>>2212640This is literally genocide

>>2212653As I said above the names of foreign places and people change all the time, it's not like this is unprecedented. In this case it's a courtesy towards a people to call their cities by their current names, instead the names they used to have while said people were oppressed by an Empire. I don't feel like that's too much to ask.>>2212668>Your point is lost in your ESL bullshitNice try, but you're just an idiot. No need to double down on it.
Is it just me or does antagonism not matter at all? I'm blobbing like fuck starting from 1337.
>>2212690english uses a mix of mostly russian place names for ukraine because historically english borrowed those names from russian. the sudden shift to using ukrainian names and acting like it's "always been that way" is artificial and stupid. could the english names change naturally from russian to ukrainian in the future? sure. is the current push retarded redditardism? also yes.

Does Lorraine have content? Wondering if they can become Lotharingia like in EU4
putin did nothing wrong
>>2212704how did we react when peking was changed to beijing
>>2212690It’s not about a simple courtesy. I have no problem referring to the Czech Republic as Czechia now. It’s about the media, governments, nonprofits, and international organizations coming down on you and demanding you have to get on board and call it Kyiv. You must submit to our framing, and submit to our chosen language, and get in line with the agenda. The push to go to Kyiv in the US in particular was pushed by Democrats and the left wing broadly and shoved down everyone’s throats to immediately dictate the language and discussion around a conflict they were trying to frame in a politically advantageous. If it isn’t clear how politically motivated this change was or how language is used to dictate political discussions, then this will all just be lost on you. I mean, just look how political it to the moment this issue was brought up and how the lines were quickly drawn between everyone. Look how buttblasted Lord Lambert was and all the political smears he threw at the mod maker.These are the exact same principles applied when demands are made that you call a 6’2” man in a wig a real woman. Use our language or you’re bad and we’ll pressure you into it or else. Ignore the reality, close your eyes, repeat the party line.
>>2212719Wait, so it's just out of spite? Sounds pretty childish. Giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming everything you describe is correct
>vassal sieging fort>zero enemy army left>28% progress>walks away to siege a different fortREEEENo supply issues either.
>>2212669I will unironically submit to Swedish rule again if they manage to model what happened in reality, like using Savonians colonize Savolax.

Should I be looking to make as many towns as possible to increase crown power and taxation or should I only have a few towns and the rest rural settlements?
>>2213003a few big cities beat many towns by far, especially if right on or next to the market capital and with high controlnever build them on high value rgos like dye
>>2211190It represents ‘merchant guilds’ (you know who) controlling most of the trade networks in and out, and they belong to market A instead of B (happened irl too) Your job is to convince them to switch to your market, which you can do
can you automate building just for one city / province ?

Why have missions disabled?
>play delhi>invest in high demand goods>deficit only gets bigger bros..
>>2213078Only with the Busy as a Bee DLC
I think I understand the economy now. Correct me if I'm wrong.>build literally everything you can that says it'll turn a profit to build up the tax base>increase control and crown power as much as possible to collect from the tax base>trade whatever makes the most money>turn rural locations into towns wherever possible to make more tax base off of urbanisation and industrialisation (such as it is in this period).
>>2213576>trade whatever makes the most moneyLuckily the automation does this 95% of the time for you.>turn rural locations into towns wherever possible to make more tax base off of urbanisation and industrialisationYou do that mainly to expand RGOs I thought?
>>2213576>increase control and crown power as much as possible to collect from the tax baseControl is just autonomy expanded so that was easy to rationalize.But all of that stuff related to curtailing estates used to be reserved for the Age of Absolutism in EU4 so it made me slightly confused going into this game thinking I could use and abuse estate privileges with no consequences.Estates not being happy while powerful can be the difference between having 300 levies or 3000. Its insane.
>>2213588>You do that mainly to expand RGOs I thought?My understanding is upgrading a rural to a town gives access to all the burgher industrial buildings in that county while demolishing any rural-exclusive buildings that were in there. I don't know if it affects RGOs beyond reducing food production.>>2213597The only estate I've found useful has been the burghers because they'll build industrial buildings and roads for you (if they have the privilege). Nobles mostly just seem to hoard power and build toll castles everywhere, and clergy only occasionally build something useful in my experience.
I'm blind as fuck, how do I build harbors to increase control. I know there are natural harbors but shouldn't I be able to build a wharf?
I was in the wrong market lol
Did people really call it Kyiv back then?
>>2213306play vaginagar and rape delhi instead
>>2212970>>2212991It's the country of Barlas, one of Chagatai's subjectsAnyone in the area can switch to the Timurids once he becomes an adult, but starting as this nation means you can give Timur a good education
>>2213635You cannot build Wharfs on Settlements only Towns/Cities. Docks, I think, are an Age of Discovery tech from the Professional Armies or Banking institution?
I just found out the best building. Rural Smelters go brr
>>2213706Wharf are for cities only yeah but the trick is that if you have a region with no cities (I had one capital that was land locked) it just doesn't show which is confusing
Do roads have maintenance?
Counting Houses are insanely OP in this game compared to EU4
omfg I cannot build enough masonry for all the shit I need for roads
It's actually insane watching a lot of features that were requested in Victoria 3 implemented here and done really well. Like the whole way minting works with inflation and how much gold/silver you produce
>black death is coming>I can't close my country for some reasonHALP
So what are the Missions/Mission rewards? It seems to be off by default, so I assume its cheats to help new players?
>effective supply>effective demandDamn, this fucking ruins the game. Is this a design choice or a bug?If you don't know what I'm talking about, imports/exports only count for half the supply/demand, completely fucking up the prices in the markets.Example, there is gold in Bohemia, you import it to Hungary where you make Jewelry, then you ship that jewelry to Venice.In your (Hungarian) market there is 20 supply of gold (from trade) and 20 demand for gold (from jewelry building) But there's only 10 "effective supply" of gold, because imports only count for half. Meaning the price of gold (the input for jewelry factory) is sky high (should be base price)Worse still this is the same for the jewelry, there's 20 supply (from jewelry factory and 20 demand (from exports to Venice), but again only 10 "effective demand", so the price of the jewelry is almost nothing.>but wait, aren't high prices for goods you're importing and low prices for goods you're exporting a good thing?Yes. Which is why I suspect this was done. BUT the artificially inflated price of the input (gold) combined with the artificially lowered price of the output (jewelry) means the jewelry building itself is unprofitable and needs subsidizing, costing you money. They've created a fake economy where a market can have an extreme deficit of a good but the price won't rise because the "effective demand" isn't as high as the supply. You can also have an extreme surplus of goods, but if you get them via import the price will still be extremely high because the "effective supply" is lower than demand.They basically assume you would never want to import raw goods from a foreign market, create processed goods in your home market, then ship them to a third market. Except the whole point of adding economies to the game is to simulate the triangle trade. Which if you do this and ship cotton to Britain and then make cloth in spinners guilds to sell to Europe they'll be unprofitable and need subsidizing.
>>2213786that sounds very autistic so we're just gonna nod our heads and go "uh huh".sounds like a nothing burger they will fix and no one will notice
>>2213856It's working as intended.It's done so your trades will always be profitable.So much for an economy simulator.
can accepted cultures be converted?? how do I turn provinces in rural settlements?

>>2213763>didn't realize the pops weren't going into the trade fast enough>had to encourage migration to get enough stonemasons I like this economyIts kinda funny how much more in depth this is than vic 3 but it doesn't shit itself lol
>>2213873I thought about converting provinces to rural settlements for greater control but it's definitely not profitable
>>2213891Don't urbanize and industrialize too hard or you're going to find a significant part of your budget will be spent on food.
>thought i was sending a one time gift to a vassal>instead send them seconomic support of 70 ducats a month>dont realize it until i take out a loan and my income is massive in the negativeshehe i am restarted
So this game just permanently ruined the GSG didn't it
Anyone know what regular units are worth it and which aren't? I have no idea how good they are and I'm not about to spend 2k gold sending 1,000 troops to be beaten to death by levies.
I keep restarting my campaign as I learn more and its still fun
Many systems in the game seem to have no purpose or use other than to slow down the game, these include, but are not limited to:>court languages>culture power/artists>most aspects of the character system
>>2213864I was wondering why I could just boost supply and make it profitable. That's a shame.
>>2213970>culture power/artistsCultural Influence affects diplo annex and assimilation speeds. Cultural Tradition is useless though since it's just the inverse of influence i.e. it takes longer for you to get diplo annexed or assimilated.
>>2213979I believe in the original CC builds (where they were complaining trade was OP) trades had NO impact on supply and demand. Meaning you could ship hundreds of a good to a market and still get paid as if there was a deficit of it there.
REEEEE, why are we getting fucking Scotland-France alliance DLC and nothing on Lithuania-Muscovy or Timur!!
>>2214016Timur already has all the content he could want he just needs working AI.
How do i make money as moscow i'm tired of being broke with 5 ducats a monthDo i spam scriptoriums and cloth manufactures?
>>2210675Same problem, the only estate I was able to get out of bankruptcy are peasants after lowering their taxes to basically zero. Expenses for all other estates are simply too high, though somehow my vassals' estates are doing fine.
How does the education actually work?Is there any reason to swap off balanced education if you're not investing in expensive education?
Are alliances still bugged? The AI breaks all the alliances I sign with them within months.
>>2214168this happens to me too
>>2213875>1338 lead dies and I lose Novgorod from unionYou would have lost them regardless because they have a different succession law, but you get an event war with them a few years down the line
>>2213775>I assume its cheats to help new players?Yeah basically, you get OP rewards for completing tutorial missions
I'm new to thisHow do I make more heirs
booted up a game as vietnam, situation is fucked. you often almost immediately get a personal union over champa because of succession shenanigans but you can't keep it because the champa are hindu/personal unions are broken in general
Is there any reason why I shouldn't build roads on literally every location?
>>2214339expensiveand if it doesn't increase control or market access because the distance is too far anyways there really isn't a point
>>2213943Heavy cav is peak up until age 4.Initiative matters little unlike boni to damage taken/done.Infantry goes ham from age 4 onwards and arty is equivalent to infantry in terms of combat power after age 2, just worse at defending against flanks.Levies are still pretty good due to being able to be way bigger in the first 3 ages.By age 3 at least it is nonetheless worth going for more professional troops becaus levies can't work jobs when fighting.
>>2213991Thats exactly how it was in eu4.
Why can't I manually reorganize my flanks?Where the fuck is the button to do that?
Holy shit you can lose troops to attrition in battle.

>>2210096>This was on Loonix via ProtonBased. So it seems to bd working fine on Linux? Or did you have to really tatdwrangle it to work?
Damn I forgot how fun but also overwhelming it is to start a new paradox game, when you can't just autopilot through it from muscle memoryAnyways, I've picked Holland for my first campaign. Is it normal that at the beginning my Pops and buildings are undersupplied? I've set the market and trades to auto for now and it seems I'm still at a deficit, so do I just build the resources I need and it will sort itself out eventually?
>>2215334Afaik being undersupplied for a bit isn't unusual, pops only switch their class if there are free employment opportunities available.Also worth noting that on the right side, below the time controls you have another automation ledger, the cog wheel icon.There you can also automate stuff like closing unprofitable buildings or subsidizing them.
>>2215288It's been just working for me. I set the compatibility layer to experimental but I'm not sure I even needed to do that.I found one CTD where you can add provinces you don't occupy to your peace deal and cause a crash but I'm pretty sure that's not Loonix specific. Other than that I've had no crashes.Extremely satisfied with the current state of the game on Linux even after being quite upset a native version was being withheld
Playing as Holland and can't build a Hospital in my capital for some reason. Any way to see the requirements for a building and why it can/can't be built in a specific region?
>>2216126Oh nvm, it's capped by development
why does everything in this game take forever to do
>>2216537its a slow and easy game my friend
>>2214016I'm really curious what that DLC is going to look like. Is it just going to be more situations or will it have really unique content/mechanics?
any idea how to change heir culture? all my sons died and now I have a female heir who married a different culture
made a new market and suddenly they're all starving. I assume I mass produce wood, paper, and marketplaces to be able to import more food in that location?
>>2221242It's more efficent to just make food locally so you aren't wasting trade capacity on importing it.
>integrate vassal>at 92% it has a rebellion>can't help at all for some reason because its your vassal and you're currently integrating it>its army are to small to occupy rebel landsThanks paradox, great design here
Been loving this freaking game frankly!
