>>2212672>8 troops>for a months worth of incomebruh
I'll be real with you bros, it's only 1408 and I'm already tired of taking 3 provinces, releasing 3 vassals, waiting 10 years, then annexing them...Also the Pope keeps randomly declaring on me, not my fault the game forced me to flip Hussite or suffer massive stab hit! I'll beat your stupid papal ass any day.
everytime you post "K*ev" a child dies in Ukraine.
So is Bohemia the tutorial country this time? It seems consistently comfy without hostility.>>2212675mhmm chicken kievs
HOW THE FUCK DO I GET INSTITUTIONS IN SOUTH AMERICA.Its 1537 and there are no europeans in sight and I ran out of fucking advances. I want to explore but I have zero manpower because I can't build any manpower buildings..
>>2212681skill issue
>>2212674what a pointless fucking video, in the early game the bigger nation wins automatically and in the late game you've snowballed so it doesn't even matter
>>2212682everytime you post "K**v" a slavnig dies
>>2212684its not gonna happen. people were tired of congolese villagers embracing the industrial revolution in 1605 so they nerfed non-european institution rates. rightfully so
>>2212674I just realized I've been genociding my nobles as Muscovy.
>>2212693qrd?
>>2212692Then they need to fuck off with exploring costing manpower because I literally can't form the incan empire because fog of war blocks me.
>>2212694Theres laws and privileges that grant you a higher number of Noble levies, I've stacked those modifiers thinking the Noble levies were drafted peasants lead by nobles.
Only one location left uncolonized in Timor and I am poised to get it. The Javanese menace only managed to take one location. I got all their pops they tried to send to the other location and it boosted my country a lot. I guess it made it worth the wait.
>>2212684you don'tthank god johan nuked all the revisionist game-y nonsense from eu4
>>2212684You can't get them until the European arrive.Enjoy your 200 years of waiting.
>staring at the population map to try and figure out a good peace deal
Finally got meritocracy in 1507current status of europe (absolutely nothing happened in the last 100 years)
I'm conquering you Europeans and your tricknology as Maliit is beautiful.
do you guys have multiple stacks of standing armies by the late 1400s already or do I just keep one and levies aside?
>>2212711I don't think they're coming.>>2212703Not being able to have historical Incan Empire territory because of fog of war is revisionist.
>>2212720i wish there was a balance of power mechanic or something to stop france and spain from snowballing in early game and killing off every other european country
>>2212723Did you get the disease yet? It happened as soon as Portugal landed in Brazil in my game
Where's the music player?
>>2212727Johan controls the music, buddy. Not you. Capisce?
>>2212726I haven't got any sickness just got butt fucked by a priest rebellion one time and a lot of bankruptcy for a while but now I think I'm stabilized.
Johan really took both barrels to blobbers faces with this one.It's a Paris and London simulator. You HAVE to play tall.
>>22127321.0.2 already made concessions to blobbers... its over...
>>2212732maybe it gets better with absolutism after 1600 or sobut here's the kickerthat's almsot 270 years after game startthe fuck are you doing for 270 years if you can't blob, and are landlocked so no exploration and colonization?
HOW DO I MASS UPGRADE ALREADY EXISTING BUILDINGS
>>2212741Try to remove Nobility privileges, probably.
>>2212684find a market that has them. Either in greenland or malaysia. I think you have plenty to do and research without them.
>>2212720THey really need to just have the GH break up into scripted hordes.
>playing country landlocked by a dozen others>ai still picking naval tech to research
>>2212746how does that help with control?
btw get maritime presence in sea zones,it's OP for proximity
anyone saved the british isles from french rule yet? the anglosaxon genocides need to be avenged
>>2212752>letting ai do your researchwhy?.. its literally the easiest part of the game and the one you need to most pay attention to
>>2212723i think you should be focusing on economy
>>2212722Just depends on how much you can field which you can't really build for other AFAIK since it's based off of pops. By then you're probably going to be mashing 10k+ stacks into each other so it's hard to have multiple stacks, but I'd imagine you can build a professional army more around siege stacks and use the levy to fight instead.
>>2212753it's a thing you can work towards for 270 years
>>2212757to see how the ai handles it
>>2212723Huh, weird. I've always seen Europe doing its thing by like 1520. I'd be interested in seeing the current situation in Europe
>>2212755Do you just get boats and have them patrol? How to increase it?
>>2212757to write a negative review calling the game boring later
>>2212753Noble privileges give them power multipliers. If your Estate has more power they get a larger percentage of your country's income. If you reduce their power share that proportionally makes your crown power larger which increases your income.
>>2212726Nevermind some "Great pestilence" event has just popped up. Even though no Europeans are in the new world.
>>2212723Work your way up Central America
Is in heritance like CK2 where a daughter can't inherit but a grandson can?
>>2212659Playing as Austria and I married my son and heir to the queen of Naples. Naples is slightly stronger then me, so will I get PU’d by them or them by me automatically because they are ruled by a woman? How does this work
The game is so slow, how do I not get bored and switch counties?
>>2212773depends on the country
cmon you piece of shit
>>2212776By not having the attention span of a 5 year oldor playing a different game
nah i fucking cant, this is actually impossible. not only they cant be stronger (by a measure that is actually fucking broken, military power pulls number out its ass), you need to have more great power score than them which is impossible with their subjects and population. FUCKASS GAME
>>2212773You can change inheritance laws to all kinds of things. So it just depends on that.
>>2212768yeah but if you have low control that doesn't matter
>>2212681I’m playing in the HRE and going pretty ham taking provinces and not having any issues, also having vassals is cool.
Any way to flip vassal of other countries to your side?
>>2212765yea you can set them to patrol but it's kinda buggyyou can just leave them in a sea zone (sea zones have multiple sea locations, it will raise presence in all of them even if you just leave it in 1 location)I just have 3 fleets for each of the sea zones in the adriatic sea
>>2212780Just take a ton of their land and make them small.
>>2212780also im fairly certain that score check was added in today's 1.0.2 patch because few redditors cried that their personal union was taken over by france
>>2212783I looked at it, admittedly I figured there'd be some sort of direct correlation but there isn't. Regardless crown power is basically another control multiplier. The inverse is also true, if you have high control but very low crown power it also doesn't help you much.
>>2212789no cant do, if you take 130 provinces in france, either directly or through vassal, you win the situation and cant claim the throne anymore. i mean, you could carve few vassals out of them, but still you lose out on 2+ million pops
>>2212720Are you joking? GROB Poland took out the teutons. France is raping everyone, the fucking Netherlands formed. The only thing I want fixed now ai-wise is timur ans the ottomans going hard as they did irl. The ottomans are so disappointing in this game.
>>2212791>The inverse is also truenot really, control is an order of magnitude more impactful
>c*tholics keep trying to coalition my ass>they drop random thousand man stacks around the balkans and anatolia>clean them up and take more free landeeyup just as allah intended I love ottoblob
>>2212770how many dead
>>2212792You can’t fully take advantage of those pops or lands anyways because control would abysmal. You could also release a couple vassals and give them a bunch of land so it’s not just a billion small vassals, if that’s easier to manage.
>renaissance almost over>barely ever unlocked 1/10 of the techsgreat,,,
>>2212798claiming the throne would not annex france, it places them in personal union so control is still in Paris.
>>2212770Disease was spreading in the new world well before anyone landed and set up a colony. There was early trade between European fishermen off the coast and the natives when it was first discovered.
>>2212799you're not supposed to unlock them all i think, theres a strategy, you pick and choose what you think is best and you gotta stick with that.
>>22127971.45 million
>>2212792>i mean, you could carve few vassals out of them, but still you lose out on 2+ million popsSo you can do it but just don’t feel like it? No point in directly annexing the land anyway you won’t have much control.
>>2212720Nothineverhappenssissies… our response?…
Why does the emperor allow princes to consolidate and blob in the HRE? Is he retarded?
>>2212800He’s talking about you complaining on missing out on annexing the land to make France smaller and weaker. You don’t want to directly annex it anyway. Conquer provinces from them, release as vassals, once they are sufficiently weak, claim throne.
>>2212809I was playing as emperor but gave up because after a hundred years I’m at -2 imperial authority per month because they all consolidated and I have no way to stop them. It’s not like in eu4 where the emperor gets called into the war. All I can do it’s demand unlawful territory and take like 1 location and it costs 50-100 gold, so it’s not even worth it.
Apart from the reduction in food profuction is there any reason not to turn a town into a city?
>demand unlawful territory as emperor>it gives me the province So how do I make it a prince again?
>>2212816Seconding this because I don't know how to release nations in general
So you are supposed to just wait 5 years everytime you want to declare a war? Why cant you fabricate a fucking claim, the spy network system is so worthless now
>>2212810yeah great idea when releasing just flanders costs 170 war score, which ai will never agree to. OPMs cost around 20, rest 50. its pointless + great score does not count from subjects (a bit) but mostly from fixed kingdom rank (+100), institutions (+50), pops (+60) prestige (+20 which they keep fucking gaining while losing fights against me?) and tradition (+6 and +6 respectively and keeps rising because they keep getting fucked)maths is just fucked, its impossible to claim the throne given how many pops and control are around paris. if anyone succeded please post screenshot, so far I have seen only frenchies winning HYWalso forgot to mention there is a limit how much you can weaken them, after that you instantly win with no benefit
>>2212822>Why cant you fabricate a fucking claimyou can fabricate them you know...
>>2212823Are you fucking in benzo withdrawal bro? Take the land and then release it as a custom vassal.
wait did they actually make councilors send people to the regions in a proper order for colonization instead of randomly dispersing pops all over?
>>2212826Yeah wtf>>2212823Are you retarded? What we are saying is a very simple concept.
this is an unpolished gem, unlike vic3 which is actually unfixable
>>2212826are you an imbecile, what part of the screenshot you dont understand
>>2212825only some nations can, I think. in Italy I could fabricate against the other faction of the ghibli shit but the default seems to be you can't
>>2212822Why do you want to go to war more then once per five years. I just go hard on my economy during that time.
>>2212822with the deus vult advancement you can fabricate religious war CB on tags of a different religion
>>2212832Don’t you want the PU doe? Im not sure what you’re talking about or what your issue is. I thought your point was that France is too strong to make ur PU and it’s impossible to weaken them without taking the 130 locations and winning the situation, thus not getting the PU.So take the lands, release them as vassals. You won’t win the situation and you will weaken France sufficiently enough to PU them.
>>2212829another fucking retard. you need to have more great power score than france, AND have more military power than them. military is non issue, score is the problem and you cant lower it because there is nothing to release near paris where majority of their pops score comes from. toulouse could be released but will lower the score by maximally 10 points which does not help at all.
>>2212838>You won’t win the situation and you will weaken France sufficiently enough to PU themyou dont have PU CB after winning the situation, thats the problem
>>2212839> because there is nothing to release near parisAre you trolling or are you retarded. TAKE THE LAND IN A PEACE DEAL DIRECTLY, THEN RELEASE AS CUSTOM VASSAL ONE SECOND LATER. Nigga you can take paris then make it a CUSTOM vassal. You don’t have to release anything from France.
So, what happens if I no-CB a bank? Do I just roll up with 30k armed peasants to their headquarters in Florence? What can I even siege?
>>2212723Can you get a town? It should allow you to build what you need.
>>2212841Read nigger read, I said you will NOT win the situation but WILL weaken France if you conquer land and then make it custom vassals. This is your last reply because you’re actually fucking retarded.
>>2212816>>2212821diplomacy -> relations -> manage / create subjects
>>2212838>So take the lands, release them as vassalsconsult the screenshot >>2212823Owner or top Overlord is England>>2212842NIGGA AS SOON AS I TAKE ONE MORE PROVINCE OR GIVE ONE MORE PROVINCE TO A VASSAL THE SITUATION ENDS AND I LOSE OPPORTUNITY TO PU FRANCE HOLY SHITholy fuck is this bread full of imbeciles or what yall cant read or what

The requirements to form the Netherlands are a bit lax I feel...
OTTOFAGS??
>>2212856where's your income t. Brabanon
>>2212857Ilkhanate shadow government pushing their candidate...
>>2212861Going to diplomats rn to try and avert a coalition
>>2212857Based. Ottoman ilkhanate will conquer the world. Hopefully they also converted to Greek and orthodox like they’ve been doing, to add to the based factor.
Huh. Can't rename it either
>>2212868Good.
>irrigating the fish and wild animals to increase the food productionsasuga, Johan-san...
>>2212778>piratesissies are going to redownload the game twice a week to get patches
This is Eurasia in 1702
>>2212874It’s only like 15 gigs, but yeah I’m not a poor turdworlder so I just bought the game.
>>2212876At least something happened
Checked the world map of my run since I couldn't stand it any longer.Genoa and the Pope in Colombia, Brazil has a whole million pops and it seems Portugal didn't think to bother colonizing anywhere else. Britain is colonizing East America.In another 20 years or so I should be able to properly interact with them, get corona, and finally some fucking institutions.Right now I am exactly as strong as Castile in terms of tax base, number of levies, and pops. That'll stop being the case when they sneeze on me.
>>2212876reminds me of eu3, but without bohemia blobbing everywhere
>>2212876When the China fix comes in and Europeans are encouraged to go to Asia more, this will be great. I notice you also let Asian AI colonize though which probably makes the effects worse.
>>2212882THE OTTOMANS ARE DOING SOMETHING OTTOMANS IN THE BALKAAAAANS ALEEEEERT
>>2212876where is the bigger yenisei?
>>2212874and how do you get your updates?oh, i forgot, you must be using american internet that is delivered by pigeons so every bit is like 100 dollars
>>2212876America and AfricaThe scramble for Africa is over at this point, this is a thinly veiled V2 successorAragon is colonising Australia now
>>2212892vgh, mexico grande
>>2212887They could have if Naples and Genoa didn't blob like retards, that and the usual control implosion.
Is it worth buying the game now, or waiting for a sale? The first couple of sales (e.g. steam winter sale) are going to be pretty small discounts if pic related (vicky 3 price history) is anything to go by, but I can already get it for 20% off on cd key websites
>>2212874Do people not use patchers?
>>2212890i click a button on steam and it just werks
>>2212892>>2212876>no great britain>no russia>no ottomans>no spain>just endless france mogging europe
>>2212885Yeah I just left it on default settings to see how bad it is
>>2212876Europe looks fine but man... Asia is a messRussia forming and pushing eastwards would greatly fix it though
>>2212892They really need to make the AI averse to making a colonial subject in an area with stuff like Malaria to fix the Congo issue. Also something to represent the fact that less valuable places aren't going to be colonized as much to keep South Africa smaller.
>>2212896wait 3-4 months and buy it on cdkey website for -50%
>>2212885What’s the china fix
>>2212900There’s no excuse for no Russia and no Ottomans. Spain and Great Britain formed via lucky marriages and inheritances irl. The idea of Scotland and England becoming united requires a complete obliteration of Scotland (realistic in EU4 but not irl) or a lot of cascading events. It would be hard to realistically model this starting in 1337.
>>2212897from a website i've never had a problem with, but feels incredibly sus to run a random exe
>>2212894Never mind. It’s over Ottobros….. “peasant empire” the fuck nigga.
VGH... Großtoskanium...
>>2212894We really do need ethnic and racial modifiers because the game works on the logic that whoever has the most pops is the best. South Italians need “lazy moors -50 production efficiency -2 morale -2 discipline” to properly simulate Naples irl who did nothing and just got bodied by foreign powers.
>>2212905It is a hypothetical thing. Obviously they are going to do something in the future considering most games don't have results that are that good for China. Although, given Chinese history, it is plausible that they could have stayed in civil war for a longer amount of time.
>>2212909How the fuck did you become so rich. Hasn’t control been cucking you out of money ? What am I doing wrong. Playing as Austria my base tax is like fucking 100 nearly the same year as you.
>>2212876I hope China gets unified by the Cock Timmy Empire
>>2212876>>2212892This is really retardedThey need to sort out the lucky nations
>>2212659>two eu5 threads at the top(sorted by latest reply) of /vst/ with 2k repliesis it that good? is paradox back?
>>2212876>bulgaria
>>2212911Naples could have been something irl if they continued to be led by good northern Europeans. But they fell to Spain and the B*urbons.
>>2212906There is Ottomans though, they're just not strong enough to overcome christian alliances I think, and they cant seem to get any alliesThey even got some locations in Italy somehow, and they did pretty well with colonizing, theyre in the pacific now
>>2212915
>>2212919I'd wait for the hype to die down tbqh
>>2212876>granada in 1702ffs
Anyone had any multiplayer experience yet?
>>2212923The Ottomans should be able to snowball to some extent. Irl they were powerful enough to defeat large Christian coalitions. EU4 ottoblob was too much, but this is too little.
How do roads work? Is it ok to just connect a place to a network that leads to the capital or is it better to directly build it from there to the capital in the little road builder?
>>2212919It's got problems but I'm a Vicfag (hated EU IV) and I like it. Take that as you will.
we're getting a patch per weak according to johanbut i dont want to wait another week for this shite ai
>>2212933I love it, I hate Victoria 2 and 3, loved eu4 but always wished it was a deeper more simulationist game rather then a boardgame, and I couldn’t be happier with victoria universalis V
>>2212936same
should i marry my daughters to nobles or is it bad? does it make nobles more powerful?/
Please make it stop
>>2212919It’s great if you like a slow burn and a lot of mechanics that seem hard to learn but are really common sense when they all fit together right. You just have to learn that it’s there. I’ve played paradox games for years (Vic2 was probably my favorite but I played plenty of the other ones and EU4). I like it a lot, but there are clear flaws and bugs that need to be worked out.
>>2212684>>2212711>>2212723Can't believe Paradox did the "Native nations can't get reforms/institutions/real government types untill Euros arrive" shit again like in EU4Mesoamerican and Andean civilizations at least should already have some
>>2212943>like in EU4what the hell are you talking about. natives in alaska could get the reinaissance within 10 years of europeans arriving in america :D
>>2212915Build roads, pay attention to proximity cost, get shit cored, accept cultures so you can get full cores(+20% control)
>>2212931It depends, rivers are better carriers of proximity than roads, so keep in mind that it's better to build off a river. Roads are also pretty expensive, so generally, the marginal control gain you'd get from a separate road to the capital isn't worth it over connecting to an existing network.
Why is my income so shit? I get being behind spain for trade, but I'm behind even my aztec neighbours with far fewer pops.Is it just all the tribesmen?
>>2212946Kamchadals aren't real natives, they can dev institutions like real countries.
Struggled to keep my economy afloat since the unpause, took me all this time to save 50 ducats for my first bulding. Actually, I spent most of my time with below 0.4 of income and then I passed a trade expedition trough parliament and it SAVED my one province ass with extra 7 trade capacity, now I finally have some reliable (albeit still a small amount of) money to build up. Pop wise I did well, from from 8k at the end of the Black Death to 30k+ now. I'm planning to conquer my first province from Cuomo just south of me.
>>2212943Wait for the Americas DLC
>>2212943Shut the fuck up, retard. EU4 was immersion breaking with natives having the same tech as Europe with larger armies than France in big fuck off, gay federations. Everyone was the same in that game by 1650. Might as well play civ.
>>2212947Ahhh ok accepting cultures is def my mistake I didn’t realize it had such a big ass buff to control.
>>2212951>I'm planning to conquer my first province from CuomoIt's over..
was he right?
>>2212957>too many provincesstopped reading there. this has got to be bait
>conquer land>my literacy drops by 5%+fucking subhuman uneducated lombard NIGGERSI MUST RESEARCH
>>2212957No. The only problem is the complete lack of DROMONS and GREEK FIRE
>>2212957>things don't happen instantly therefore badLOL
>>2212943You can get legalism via the Aztec religious reforms. If you play as one of the other Mesoamericans it'll spread to you eventually.
>>2212943they couldnt in EU3 either? you had to wait until a european nation bordered you, westernize and then you'd be able to get decent government types
>Playing Poland>sign union pact with Hungary early game, think nothing of it>my king is only pumping out daughters>wife dies, can't remarry because he's mourning>start to panic>finally able to marry and get a genius male heir>excited for back-to-back great rulers>little fucking twerp dies of a cold at age 14 when near max stats>okay well there's still time for another o->your king has been executed by the Tatar khan>I'm not even at war with them>become junior partner in a union with Hungary>their base 20's stat dipshit frenchie Valois mongo king immediately gives my nobles multiple income destroying privileges that are impossible for me to revoke>economy fucking plummets>also lose my union with HalychI have not seethed like this in quite a while but this game is fun as fuck nonetheless. These Magyar fucks will rue this day.
>>2212951I dunno how people have the patience to play an OPM in this game. Everything is such a slow burn. Even if you build a building with that money you won’t even get what you spent on it back in returns for like 50 years
>>2212957No, he's retarded and should go back to playing mission universalis 4 and visual of novel 4
>>2212957>automation is a flaw, not a successit's training wheels for new players
Are we really going to have a new thread every fucking day? Day 4567 thread in a few years is it? You fucking dorks.
>>2212957The game is very comfy to play and that is what matter above all. It is not some metafag slavery hell like every other Paradox game. It is a lot more realistic because of this too.
Is it worth developing goods in areas with zero control? Like do I still have cases to those goods in my country/market? For example if I build a boom manufacture in a no control area do I still get the same anoint of goods, just no monies? Wondering cause I was thinking about building a bunch of farms in a shitty no control area.
>>2212965that's literally what happened irlcasimir the great died sonless and louis the hungarian became kinghe was also sonless so his daughter jadwiga became the king and she married jogaila, that's how the polish-lithuanian union began
>>2212971>You fucking dorksPlease do not call me a dork, I will get a boner.
>>2212971Why not? That would be soulful.
Imagine an Europe without potatoesThis mapmode is cursed and im always afraid to use it
>>2212972100% agree with this. I hated how eu4 became metaslop and the AI ottomans and French and Austrian were OP with all their gamey modifiers that you kind of have to be a meta fag to beat them if you aren’t an OP place.
I missed sliders.
>>2212971woman coded post. please be my gf
>>2212965> your king has been executed by the Tatar khanlol wtf how does this happen? And can I play a tatar khan and kill kangs?
>>2212976I did appreciate the irony of it all. Shoulda never signed that thing!>>2212984I'm convinced it was a glitch or just a mis-labeled death by natural causes unless there's some way for them to use an espionage action to kidnap a foreign ruler that I'm unaware of.
>queen of naples>royal marriage with hungary>my son is also the son of the king of hungary>hungary is still set to be inherited by poland via union of crownshow the fuck do I fix this
Does anybody know how counting houses work? I was told to build them in my provinces for a big bonus in tax, but in the tooltips all it seems they do is increase crown power in the location. I don't see what benefit that would have unless crown power as a modifier is 1:1 with control when applied to a specific location.
but is your culture influential bro?
Shit
Hungary and Poland be like "if we're still single at 30 let's marry eachother"
I've spent 25 fucking hours in this game I just reached 1400.
>>2212972Ehhh, it's less comfy if you're anywhere near France
Wdhere is the Vic2-style pop screen again? I can't find it
>>2212993Made me lol
>>2212988crown power= more control = more tax
>>2212993~5 years of fertility left for the woman
>>2212966Ngl, playing as an OPM with decent protection from the HRE, the Swiss Confederation and other allies is like starting a game in observation mode with extra steps. On the other hand, I can fool around a bit to test some mechanics.
>>2212876It's really annoying to see no Russian country ever come out on top because it means Siberia never gets colonised. Just give it a few patches and I know Johan will capitulate to the railroadfags. Hopefully.
>>2212949Dunno lol. Best I can do is show you my shit and hope it's useful to you.https://litter.catbox.moe/b4st70.zip

>>2212998Does it though? Like I'm not calling you a liar I just want to understand it. When I was over 25% national crown power I didn't see any scaling modifiers up for local control, though maybe I just missed them. Because right now the only thing I can think these buildings will do is increase the national power of the crown, which is good but I don't see how it translates to me being able to tax that specific town/city more, unless I were under 25 crown power and suffering penalties, which I'm not.
>>2212975>For example if I build a boom manufacture in a no control area do I still get the same anoint of goods, just no monies?Yep. The estates gobble up that cash instead but the goods are still produced.

>>2212990My first England run I lost 330k to smallpox before the plague even started, went down to 1.8million after the plague, but my second run I got it closer to 2million
>>2212987does no one know how this works?is the mechanic somehow bugged?
>vassals immediately got themselves into a civil warWhat a bunch of morons.
is there a way i can reduce a countries opinion of another other than the spy action? castile allied with me as england for some reason but wont stop sucking france's dick enough to help me in the war
>>2213014Oh, you're the guy playing the new world country. Did EU4 actually model the old world plagues wiping out the natives? I don't think I ever played as them.
Do you just look at the map and see some countries and think, surely paradox never intended for anyone to play as these dudes? Has anyone ever played as the Jalayirids?
>>2213008and I forgot to mention 2 of my crown reformsDynastic Signoria -10% estate enrichmentFormalized Scales, Weights and Measures -10% estate enrichment and +10% tax efficiencyI think those modifiers make me earn a ton
Fuck it. I'm going in debug mode to buff russia and ottomans. Consider it "lucky nations - DIY edition"
>>2213007>>2212990Wasn't there also a giant outbreak of disease in the New World just before Columbus arrived? I've heard that one of the reasons it was so easy for Europeans to colonize the continent was that it had just been massively depopulated.
>>2213022Who the absolute fuck is going to play any of the pacific island nationsThere is quite literally nothing to do. Nothing. It's funny
why isn't paradox more friendly to free to play gamers... put fucking patches up for direct download somewhere

The other guy is doing much betterYou get all of the old world diseases at the same time under a new world specific disease called "the great pestilence". >>2213025Just after. Basically all of the old world plagues spread through the continent at the same time and wiped out around 90% of the natives across the entire continent
At what point do I create a new market? I'm playing Brandenburg and am in the Lübeck and Praha markets with access in the 60s-80s. I own roughly the Brandenburg and Pomerania areas.
>>2213029>Orthodox Ottoman-Russia unionKyiev bros your response?>hold on we gotta write it
>>2212972This. I actually enjoy playing tall and working on forming my country. And expanding feels more challenging. Playing tall in EU4 was so boring and lame.

>>2213037>Just after. Basically all of the old world plagues spread through the continent at the same time and wiped out around 90% of the natives across the entire continentI had heard there was one beforehand and that it led to, among other things, the collapse of Cahokia.

>>2213012>Yep. The estates gobble up that cashNope. 0 control = 0 ducats to anyone.
>>2213049you dontuntil absolutism
>>2213049I think removing the laws that favor them via parliaments helps lower the stability loss, because they lose power. Then privilege removal goes down easier.
>>2213055Literally everyone is taking pieces of north Italy

>>2213070Wasn’t that over Naples inheritance o algo
>>2213049I got those bitches down to 5% and no privileges.Give more privileges to the other estates and get crown poer and -revoke cost modifiers. You'll still need to eat a lot of stability but stability is a currency and you have to use it

>>2213077>Yap
>>2213066It's been a long time, but my memory of the situation was that there was a giant plague that depopulated most of the continent and destroyed what little civilization existed north of Mexico and the population had still not recovered by the time Europeans showed up.
>>2212814Cost? Food supply?It's Imperatoria Victorialis out here.
>>2213077lol literally dirt hut living rock collector brownoids.
>>2213076iirc all the blood elves in TBC are former followers of kael'thasthere are also still high elves aligned with the alliance but only a handful, and for years they still used retextured night elf models that looked like total dogshit

Whenever fags broke into companies and demanded dumbing down, censorship, rejection of the core audience, appealing to "modern audiences", etc. they likely used the subreddit to support it. The site even insidiously claims to be the frontpage of the internet. The sooner more companies move past reddit the better.

I think I colonized this island too earlyit gave it to me instantly, possibly because the religion and culture is the same as my own (Ryukyuan)but the island has no food and there is no way for me to ever build a fishing village there on an income of 0.14 ducats at best and my loans max out at 30 ducats (I'd need 50 for a village)there are 24,000 tribesmen on this island doing nothing and starving to death, how do I save them?

>>2213118I wasn't making a judgment call. A Metropolis is objectively better than a City in Imperator, but you NEED to secure the food supply for all that population.
How do I vassalize seized land? I can't find the button for it
>>2213126bad advice. you learn basically nothing from playing tribal shitholes because the entire gameplay is just waiting.
>>2213132You mean release a vassal from conquered land? On the diplomacy interface there's a button.
>>2213122but conservatives told me that based trad-cath Europe never subverted gender norms
third rome is nowhow much savegame editing you do
wheres the button to shoot my cannons at a castle
>>2213133waiting on what?
One mechanism i don't like is you have to build spy network to get casus bellis
no you don't you get your parliament to do it
>>2213004Sadly I don't think there will be any sort of "create your own x" feature like we have in CK3 because uncreative normie drones didn't use the feature enough for them to find it worth implementing
>>2213129Countries like this actually get some expand the frontier option that I assume lets them colonize easier. You could unite the island and then invade Indonesia.
>>2213129this isnt obscure enough they get institutions from the market in my game from the start
why the fuck is sound randomly swinging in volume and track, and why fuck is it playing ambient noises instead of music
>>2212957he wanted EU IV with a better map
>>2213125its out
>>2213144did you use random institutions spawn rule? by default they only spawn in europe
1752Decolonization has started, France lost their huge african colonies, and New Spain is independent, they colonized the entire west coast of america, it's them in Kamchatka hereAlso kingdom of the TeutonsWait this ends in 1836 right? Im almost there
>>2213143everyone can colonize, i assume, almost from the startpolynesian bonus is a court privilege that lets them hire explorers but its absolutely fucking useless because you need actual economy before you can afford them
>>2213142With custom nations it is because it felt like one of those memes with the fake character "inconspicuously" added to the cast.
>>2213142the vassal states should absolutely be customizable, in name and iconographyperhaps they could have wiz come in and do it as a junior with some interns. paradox brown
>>2213139if you call parliament and you have at least 50% of them in your favor then they can give you a fabricated claims cb.pretty unintuitive but its better than doing it via spies.

>>2213170you wouldnt even know if ai is doing good job or not because you dont understand whats going on
1444 is a much more stable start date if you want plausible 19th century world map outcomes.1337 you could have unthinkable shit survive until 1836 like the Golden Horde for example.

Is there any reason to not automate trade at the start?
>>22131751444 is better start because you're not fucking about for 50 years to a century before shit really kicks off>>2213179byzantium still existed in 1444
how do you check the most advanced countries?
this guy's cute
>>2212659Did they really remove idea groups and readd fucking diplomat points from EU III?
is everyone going admin focus on the first age?
>>2213161Doesn't matter too much as long as you get Centralization positive, once it's positive you can start accumulating it past the cap through parliament.
>>2213179>>2213182In fact Byz is one of the reasons they went with 1444 instead of 1453. That and the final phase of the 100 years war, I guess?
REEEEE
someone will make a 1444 start date eventually
>idea groups
>>2213175EU3 start date of 1399 was reasonable.
no one has ever once browsed to your achievements page and gone 'woah.. this guy can really play
>>2213170Do you enjoy that inefficient minting warning? Because I don't.We must secure the beeswax for our ducats.
>>2213150why is castile so chill with morroco or granada but despises portugal. the ai is not racist enough, this is also why ottomans dont blob into balkans
Does EU5 use the same highly-randomized DNA randomizer engine for portraits that CK3 does, for when characters have kids together?
Why can't I fabricate claims on Negroponte as Byzantium? Their population is overwhelmingly greek.
>>2213091Idk I just played on speed 5 and it went away lol. Oh and the gringos have finally landed.Also randomly my country decided to take out like 50 loans even though I was in the green so now I'm trying to pay those off asap atm.
How well do you feel the game lends itself to a Victorian era mod?
>>2213182Honestly I’m so happy it’s the 14th century because it’s my fav ever and when the extended timeline mod comes out I will be using this game as a medieval game exclusively. Prob playing from 1200’s to 1600
which nation do you pick if you want the hottest babes so when you colonize the pacific you can have pleasure islands full of hot ladiesthis is important
>most popular mods are just cheats
is there any reason for Cahokia to be so large? why isn't it just a city-state
>>2213206what a fagotic question
What is the EU5 1337 equivalent of "1444 Byzantium" or "1836 Texas"?
>>2213208you can tell even by this thread that most players are scrubs
>>2213205I agree, I'm enjoying this medieval aspect. Eu4 doesn't have much medieval flavour and most of the interesting shit happens afterwards
>>2213145they fucked up in the auditory department desu
>>2213200seems like the AI need a way bigger regional focusJust look at this they finally had a war with morocco, they took parts of granada and some random shit in Africa instead of clearing their peninsula of enemies? This is stupid
>>2212906I think some event where if either king dies without children, and the two countries have good relations and are both protestant is enough of an abstraction of history for a pu between england and scotland... The choosing of Elisabeth's heir in James was pretty cynically carried out irl.

Is there a map mode that shows de jure kingdoms so that you don't see all of the vassals and shit?
>>2213226yes
>Watch several youtube guides>Think that maybe you overreacted>"Surely now after several hours of watching the gameplay it won't feel as bad and disorienting">Torrent the game>Using the UI feels like picrelatedIt's shit beyond any salvation. Thank fucking god I refunded this trash, gonna buy a ticket to Death Over Europe 2026 instead.
I wonder how difficult modding the map (i.e. province borders) is going to be.
>>2213047What about market access?I still don't understand what that does at all. Does ~50% market access in all my provinces mean all my buildings are basically only producing half of the goods?
>>2213222Stop seething and lower your goddamn taxes, if you want your buildings to be profitable.
>>2213220The funnier part there is those Iberian provinces are mostly Castillan. You'd think that'd be enough.
So with the control stuff it's pretty much impossible to have a gigantic empire like rome or a wc? Or no? Would that just mean most provinces would have very low taxes and/or keep frequently revolting and be impossible to assimilate/convert?
>>2213228you sound brown
does missions ON help with AI behavior? like castille focusing more on morocco and aragon than trying to kill portugal
is there a way to tell an AI war leader I would like them to give me a specific province in negotiations?
>>2213234you have to slowly build your empirerelease vassals and then annex them later, but you should accept their cultures asap if you wanna keep the land
put UI size at 90% otherwise it's unplayable
>>2213238Dont worry they give a little something to everyone, thats how you end up with horrible border gore
>>2213234you are meant to control land through vassals i thinkhistorically, large empires would give distant provinces a lot of autonomy, especially if they were culturally or religiously distinct
>>2213240but the control would be pretty much the same in a distant land after annexing them so whats the point?
>>2213234having low taxes isn't a big deal. they still produce goods for your markets.
>>2213234It improves with tech. Pragmatically speaking there's just about no reason to have land where you wouldn't have a decent amount of control, if that is the case then you should have a vassal use it instead since they'll get much more from it and also invest into it.

There is nothing stronger than being a good Muslim and marrying 4 wives, along with your children marrying 4 wives. You will familymax and gain much more crownland.In the words of my brother (and fellow family man) Vin DieselTy little brother Dwayne... the time has come. The world awaits the finale of Fast 10. As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house. There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don't send well wishes... but the time has come. Legacy awaits. I told you years ago that I was going to fulfill my promise to Pablo. I swore that we would reach and manifest the best Fast in the finale that is 10! I say this out of love... but you must show up, do not leave the franchise idle you have a very important role to play. Hobbs can't be played by nomie.

>use the settle frontier action>entire province depopulated
i don't get why people need to exist it was fine they way we just developed provinces by clicking on them with admin/diplo/mil points now you have to like play sim city in each tile of the whole world not really a game anymore
>>2213262if you want to play EU4 you can go play EU4the rest of us have been asking paradox for a more simulation-driven game for over a decade
1337 was too fucking early and there's nothing they've done that's interesting enough to justify it in my opinion. If they wanted another early start they should have just done 1399 again.
>>2213262You just need to play with a family in mind.
>>2213256Of course it's a linuxfaggot gobbling on jeet shit UI and asking for more, LMAOOO
>>22132641337 was just before nations became overpowered like Ottomans or France.It's a fine starting date
>>2213257You're a toddler. I love the pop system, it adds much needed depth.
>>2213258An idiot appreciates complexity>>2213262This, there is more stratedgy when it comes to eu4.
>>2213267>>2213264I think they put the start just before the Black Death so players would have to learn how to cope with having 1/3 of their population evaporated instead of just quitting whenever something bad happens.
>>2213261At least your population looks pretty good. Just a bit more and you might be able to form a duchy.
>>2213266Reminder this is a brown ESL tranny consistently seething about eu5 because it's not manaslop ERP like eu4
how the fuck do you even play yuan lmao

i cant have a guild without a city? even a shitty one to make stone tools? that sucks, city is much more expensive

>>2213269It's not about appreciating complexity for complexity sake, it's that some of us want more depth to our games other than just mindless blobbing and abstract representations of the population of a province. You're welcome to go play any other retard appeasing game and stop shitting this thread up

Uhhh can I stop the game from lagging and skipping

>>2213289Send your complaint to Paradox, they would listen
Ok so Portugal is in a civil war rn (pretender war). The pretender actually joined a defensive pact with me, so why can’t I join his war if I’m supposed to be defending him? I wanted to take advantage and gobble up some land and putting someone more friendly on the Throne.
>>2213305i assume the pretender is the aggressor in the war and it's a defensive pact
Stop reply to the schizo you retards, he has been here for days trying to ragebait every chances he got or he is samefagging now Ignore that faggot
the dogshit ragebait lowk funny
>>2213262Because fuck Quantity Ideas.
There’s literally no reason for Vicky 3 economy autism to be in the game.It makes sense for Victoria, because it’s an industrial revolution simulator, but not for Europa Universalis.Hours are also completely unnecessary
HuhWhile I wasn't paying attention someone united the pueblo
>>2213321>Tranime brigadeDiscord tranny raid confirmed
okay so i just torrented the game and started up as Brandenburg and despite being super weak and shit, my country gets declared war upon it twice and wins both wars somehow despite we being way weaker. and then the loser (aggressor) will simply accept all its provinces being taken, fiefdom, etc. shit already seems super retarded. like way beyond eu3-level retarded.
This game is much slower than EU4. A whole afternoon only got me to like 1400.
>>2213321You're gay and retarded
>>2213326can you search modifiers in the ledger?
can someone help me figure out where this Trade Focus modifier is coming from? I seem to find what gives this modifier and it's causing them to have more trade advantage than me.
>>2213325Honestly maybe it’ll get all the ADD riddled YouTuber faggots to stop running the game at light speed and treating it a mouse sliding/clicking simulator
You can tell the newfag brigade because they're coming to /vst/ to tell us that eu4 wasn't a faggot casualized abomination and that vicky2 style pops are bad. Many such cases !
>no one familymaxxingi am actually ashamed
>>2213321Economics were the driving factor behind the Age of Exploration.Also hours only seem to be relevant to military things
Is there no way to pause after battles?
>>2213332actually i think eu4 sucks too. eu3 is the pinnacle of EU gameplay. vicky 2 style pops are kind of cringe and >>2213321 is somewhat right though. i do like the population mechanics for culture and social class though.
>>2213338>>2213334Samefag tranny ESL moment
>>2213321>The era when new world goods make shit loads of money for the colonial powers>New world food products like potato fundamentally changed society >the only reason Europe discovered a new continent is because they tried to find another trade route to get around the silk road controlled by the Muslim >Trade is not important guys Holy mother of EU4 brainrot
the biggest problem with the game is the shitty AI and opaque map though.>>2213339>opinion i don't like>s-s-s-samefag!
it's actually kind of unbelievable how long these pagan baltic tribes held out, this really wasn't that long agomost people today think Europe proper was fully Christianized by like A.D 1000I'm not saying all that to be like 'vgh, muh pvganism', it's just one of those 'it's pretty surprising that this really happened' things
i’d rather an auto expansion button on specific types of RGOs and buildings instead of this automation that’s just do whatever you want paradox AI
>>2213331Judging from Swimmy's review, I doubt that.
building roads in my heartland is always beneficial, right?'
>>2213341>Deleted his own post because his brown boss might see him calling himself a JeetLOL eu4troons lost
>>2213343This was like the fringes of Europe back then.What we would consider the lands of the old Roman Empire + Germania were fully Christianized for centuries then. Still interesting though
Did the game really need 250,000+ """locations"""
>>2213340>implying you need victoria economy autism to simulate all thatkys
>>2213280Soo complex it got 71% positive reviews, yeah right lol. >>2213279If this is supposed to be me, Im not trans. Im polish.
>>2213353Probably not, but it allows for a lot of granularity with RGOs.Sucks if your computer sucks, I guess.
>>2213354just let the computer handle it for you bud
>>2213354>I-if I use 4chan lingo maybe they will like eu4 manaslop!!>Uhhh it's actually a bad thing to simulate goods and markets in an era where white men conquered the world for spicesBrown "people" have zero self awareness kek
>be brandenburg>stettin attacks you!>somehow win despite being heavily outnumbered by Stettin and Luneburg>take 3 provinces>a few months later>this other country same size as you but much stronger militarily attacks your fiefdom vassal!>somehow win because big daddy Denmark comes all the way south and beats the much stronger country for you>make the country your vassalholy retard blob potential. great game, folks.
>>2213353Yea, I’ll take that over big vague blobs of land that is neither realistic nor representative like in 4
I'm running out of pops to put to work in Italy. What do?
>>2213354Oh im delightful to hear your opinion about another system that can simulate such mechanicPress X to spend your trade mana to have potato lmao?
>>2213259Is this some copypasta?If not, then holy shit this is cringe.Celebrities don't care about you.These movies are pure fiction.So stop larping, it's embarrassing.
>>2213363>Uhhhh eu4 is good because of mana>Yeah I'll just say that systems in eu5 are mana despite it making no sense. Basterd bitch benchod will stop supporting pops and RGOs nowBrown intellectuals everyone
>>2213361This game stills blobs except that the blobing doesn't make any sense. Atleast the blobing in eu4 is coherent.
>>2213362Import brown 3rd worlders unironically
>>2213367I think you replied to the wrong post.
>>2213362I think you can use a cabinet member to promote migration to a specific location on top of peasants already giving a base rate of pop increase if it goes negative. Might take a bit though depending on how may pops are missing for your work
>>2213368>Uhhhh actually eu5 is bad because of blobbing>But eu4 one province ryukyu world conquest with instant mana assimilation is GOODBrown intellectuals everyone
>>2213370forgive him, he's retarded. kind of like this game.
>>2213362Import Indians, now you finally understand why your gov does it
i am finally fucking donethis was way harder than it should have been
>>2213374>Eu4 is good fellow white people. Depth is retarded. We want completely abstracted numbers with zero foundation
>>2213375The Ottomans tried that and that's how we got gypsies.
>>2212778>>2212874>>2212877You just download the 1.0.2 update from fitgirl repacks or whatever, it's only 700mb
>>2213368Are you talking about location placements?
>>2213359>autist seethe and projectionThe game doesn't even simulate the era's economies correctly, dumbass.Its only there so spergs like you can jerk off to it
>>2213362colonize shit for RGO resourcesthird worlders gather RGO for you in their shithole, while you trade shit back home for your skilled populations to produce better shit from their RGO shit
>>2213378I hate EU4 though. It's a shit game. And I hate fuhrer mana. Your shitposting has no power over me.
>>2213353yes it makes each place around the world interesting to play.
>castile and the aztecs get into a collonial race>Neither is dominant enough to finish it>The population grows until it literally hits the cap>No one gets the province>Softlocked out of colonizing itThank you paradox, very cool!
>>2213379Gypsies came to Europe during Byzantine times thoughbeit
>>2213377what year?
>>2213388>castile>aztecs>colonial racethis is why nuParadox sucks.
how the fuck does patrol the seas work
>>2213372I actually don't really care about blobing, I'm just showing how hypocritical you guys are lol.
>you're a brown transsexual>no, you're a brown transsexual!All this reactionary friendly fire, man.
>>2213386Meanwhile you keep falling back to>Uh actually this thing about eu4 I like is good, eu5 bad because it's not manababby sim like my wholesome heckin one province ryukyu world conquest >Oh and also if I call eu5 systems mana despite it clearly not being eu4's dog shit then maybe they will believe meBeing an inbred brown person must be mental torture
>>2213393it's buggy, just put the navy manually somewhere and it will raise maritime presence
>>22133901425, after six phases and it was still on knifes edge. claiming the throne is dumb hard for no reason numbers wise
>>2213396Not a single white /gsg/ chud is unironically shitting on EU5 while saying a single positive thing about eu4. It's all brown third worlders and reddit trannies trying to force the narrative
>>2213402>no true white nationalistWhat level of purity spiraling is this?
>>2213401but now you’re set for the rest of the game
they picked the 1337 start date because denmark starts out insanely weak and sweden insanely powerful
>>2213402Very true, anon. I, white /gsg/ chud, shit on both EU4 and EU5 equally.
>>2213403>Obese freemason pedophile calls Europe nonwhiteAmerican as hell lol
>>2213409It's an excerpt from an article whining about German immigrants, by the way.
>>2213392>why would the aztecs subjugate their native neighbours I'm shaking and crying and pissing and cumming right now...
>>2213321Trade is important in EU's time period and you can't properly model trade without production
trying to wrap my head around proximity. i have a road from Menopele to my capital but it doesn't say I have any proximity, positive or negative. any idea why? that's the proximity to capital mapmode btw
>>2213405true unless ill get fucked by a coalition or france keeps revolting. hoping for the best though
>>2212689This is funny because it works for both spellings and both sides
>>2213412Explain why EU4 doesnt have it and people still play it
>>2213412trade is important in all periods, retard.
>>2213392yeah everyone knows colonialism was invented by whites and brown people never subjugated their neighbors
>>2213416Because you're 70 IQ and brown and like having a game that has no depth. Nobody likes the nuparadox era, and Johan is better off without you
performance is ruining itstarted losing interest around the 1450s because of how slow the game got
>>2213409you could describe almost all of the European aristocracy at the the time of Franklin with the exact same adjectives
Why am I getting my ass kicked so hard here? It looks to me like we have similar stats and I have the numbers, what is going on?
>>2213413too far even with road so it just says nonebuild up maritime presence instead
>>2213420Turn off gay ass 3d and enable the skip console command retard. Even on a toaster it runs great without bing bing wahoo 3d shit
>Battle of Lützen
>>2213422He has tribal cav and you have shitty peasant leviesAlso your right flank is fucked
Anyone tried playing Perm? I wanted to do a "siberian colonization" strat, but the country is falling apart before i even unpause, no matter what i do i'am losing money, even if i automate everything it seems the country is just doomed
>>2213423an adjacent, but closer, province has -8%, so I was thinking it'd be lower than that but not outright "none"
>>2213422They have calvary Your right flank is 60 good men holding against 300 dudes
>>2213422You have a bunch of drunk retard russian peasants with pitchforks fighting Turkish horse chads without significant number or ranged backup. What the fuck do you think happened
>>2213119It’s got a lot going on, but it all makes sense put together. Literally just think of it like it’s a real country and consider what needs to go into a real country to be successful. It’s kinda common sense: centralization and infrastructure goodProduce the rgos you have that others don’tProfessional armies goodEstates are jealous fagsPeople gotta eat and want shitIf you’ve studied or read history, it makes a lot of sense. History chads are eating good.
>>2213422They got drone tech, it hard counters muscovy
Yeah game would it be better if it focused on simulating Eurasian (and mainly European and levantine) countries, affairs, history. Shitskins don't matter, except for colonization by their betters in Europe.
>>2213413that’s just how it is bro, it’s a long trekprobably dangerous
man this game is so much more meaningful than eu4 its just no comparison
>>2213430I guess it just stops calculating if there's no neighbouring province with positive proximity
>>2213175True, but I still like the start date. They just need to make a 1444 start date and everyone will be happy.
>>2213429ofcourse its doomed if you automate everythingyou need to learn whats going on firsti've burned playing is syberia in ck3 so i probably wont even try. Provinces are giga massive and poor as shit, everyone is trying to fuck you up from all sides.
I feel like as a native you basically have to rush colonizing iron or you get giga fucked by tool/weapon shortages
>>2213433Yeah, it simulated statecraft really well I have seen many anons scratching heads about where would they find more workers, an issue that many current Western countries are also facing.
>brown eu4troon gets heem'd>Thread no longer full of seethe about EU5White man marches on
>>2213175Black death erasing half your population is kino though
>>2213439Yeah we just need the 1444 date
Am I supposed to have no manpower? It seems there's only one early building that produces it and I'm limited to one in my entire realm.
Now I know how blacks feel when they're shoehorned into games... I-I feel seen...
>>2213444i think eu5 and eu4 both suck though
How do I deal with this as England
>>2213448wait for professional armies institution to build armories. it's the mid 14th century, nobody has a massive standing army
>>2213449this nigga got assburgers lmao
>>2213422cav is insanely OP.
>>2213448It's almost like significant permanent armies were a purely post 1492 thing crazy huh
>>2213451Go colonize lmao
>>2213447>>2213439I expect it to be in an expansion pack. It'd sell really well.Paradox has said in the past that people almost always use the earliest start date but I think when there's a huge difference between two dates, like the pre-HRE and 1066 start dates in CK3, they provide pretty different experiences that make choosing one or the other worthwhile.
why tf is it impossible to become the head of this stupid vladimir union as moscow
so what happened to the real start dates? you know, 1399 and 1452?
>>2213449
parliament at exactly 50.00% support makes the banner blank
>>2213452I have this institution, I guess I should look at the tree.>>2213455I was just making sure I didn't fuck something up. Naples starts with around 300 manpower but after a war or two it seems almost impossible to be above single digits.
>>2213451>The eternal anglo is hated by Europe>Decides to colonize the entire earth and fuck brown womenJust like real life
Did you guys ever see AI Timur do some conquering? I never saw him take more than 3 provinces.
why yes, i do automate EVERYTHING when im in a regency
>literally doubled Brandenburg's size in 3 yearsyeah, this is gonna need some work or some mods to save us from Paradox's shitty AI and balance.
>>2213465Latest patch should've changed that to timur literally raping the ottomans in 1402
>>2213468No you didnt because if you did you would post pics and say how. Expansion in HRE is hard checked by boheemia coming to rape you
my thuganid 200 tengri dudes on horses cannot be stopped by anybody at this pointevery time a coalition forms my 200 premium thugs defeat armies of like 900-1200 with a loss ratio of like 1:40
It has been 16 years since the king of Hungary had a son and he is STILL set to lose his kingdom after death.Why the fuck is Poland allowed to steal Hungary from me
why are some locations silver?
how can i promote a rural settlement into a city?
>>2213471Vgh...
>>2213470whatever, just made Meissen my vassal
okay so the game is slow but is it because it's designed that way or are we talking about the game lagging?
Turns out building spam does not help with turning a profit.
>>2213479>Took counties from archbisphoric and a prince electorBohemia is going to come dismantle you lmao see that red? It's your anus soon
>>2213481Yes
>>2213481its designed to be slow but the shitty engine can't process faster than the highest speed
>>2213467Based roleplayer
i automate everything because trade's boring
>1803Im gonna stop hereFor some reason months were extremely slow after 1760, like 10 15 sec per month but now its better around 4-5 sec per month
>>2213413Typical Southern Italy experience. You have to get rid of the mafia first.
>>2213494>that>1803yeah eu5 sucks
>>2213494Europeans really didn’t give a fuck about Asia huh.
>>2213236Missions in this game are just a tutorial with overpowered bonuses for the player. I don't think AI gets them either way.
>>2213494>sweden blobbedyup, johan made this game
>>2213494first time I've seen Aragon surviving
why is market access not following proximity calculationsthis is retardedi built a ton of infrastructure to get control over the coastline but the goods are still hauled across the mountains to the market center???
>>2213100>>2213277colonizing new guinea just to get one province that has iron in all of polynesia is just not happeningliterally every province is its own culture on top of massive numbersi think its going to be much faster for me to save up around 300 gold on an upgrade to a city and then build a guild
>>2213505im so annoyed
>>2213494Fucking Muscovites. They betrayed their Slav brother Novgorod and helped Kazan
>>2213291Because they're not EU4 missions, they're the tutorial, just for teaching basic mechanics and handing out massive bonuses in the process.Honestly, it was retarded of them to even give that setting the name "missions", it just confused everyone who played EU4.
I can't click the button?
>>2213494>another game with China being a hot mess It is so over changbros, why paradox hates us like this
>>2213511try save/load?
I was failing hard at economy so I gave myself a billion ducats to sandbox a "build" to see if I could get something that turns a profit to learn but I ended up with less money per month than before I started somehow. I think I'll need a tutorial after all.
>>2213424What’s the 3d shit?
>>2213494Absolutely disgusting>>2213499I dont think there have been any colonial wars, they just grab uncolonized provinces and completely ignore the locals, central america and mexico are basically untouched
>>2213494It's Kiyv not Kiev, ok?
anyways, i uninstalled the game. i'll try a torrent again in a few years with some patches and DLC.
>>2213494I'd like to see this continue. I'm especially interesting in what'll happen between Ruthenia, Muscovy, and Novgorod. Have you tried using the console to turn off GameStateTick.RenderFrameIfNeeded?. It'll increase your tickspeed if your CPU is good enough to handle it.
uhh there is no way to beta patch back to release version?
>>2213514Flooding every market is just gonna lower prices across the board, yeah. You'll be able to build anything easily but it'll be difficult to profit. You should only build a surplus demand of stuff that remains expensive, like luxury goods. The other stuff you want to be around or a bit more than filled, or you'll tank the price.
>>2213525looks like they about 20x'd diplo cost for keeping one particular fiefdom which more or less breaks the savei see no mentions of it in the notes however
>>2213519Chinggis would be proud...>>2213522yeah i turned it off, it was like magicIll let the save finish tomorrow
>>2213494Why is it kingdom of the teutons and not Prvssia?
I hope next week's update focuses on AI
>>2213513didn't work at all
Bohemia please spare me
Any way to increase naval range without tech?
is there a way to patronize minority religions so they can grow and eventually be able to supplant the state religionasking for no particular reason
>>2213543try the conversion cabinet task and see if it's an option
>>2213534Absolument basé1st everything and 2nd biggest pop almost the entire game>>2213535Ask Johan not me
rebellions working via instant conquer is fucking aidsi hated that shit in imperator
how do i get rid of this
>>2213550You need less than 75 Legitimacy.
>finally tried the game>it is an unholy amalgamation of the systems of Imperator and CK2Noice, but Johan's spanish interns' spaghetti code is going to force me to update my rig, which I never expected to have to do for a Paradox map painting simulator.
>>2213512the chinks really need some sort of china unification CB on each other
>>2213553i had less than 75 and i couldn't remove it
>>2213544it is not :(
>>2213554Paradox games have always been CPU rapists.
The shattered retreat is 100% buggedFucking retarded for you to retreat 100 miles because you lose morale while moving
Erhmmm is Japan gameplay fun
>>2213558Game says you have 99 in the screencap
I feel like what gets in the way of AI being truly ambitious is not being willing to nocb enough. Paradox should also imbue some tags with Faustian spirit. Tags like Oda once the Sengoku starts, the Dutch, Ming during the civil war, Prussia, maybe even the Ottomans.
Ok I'm being filtered by the entire economy / building / market / trading thing. Should I just automate it or is that super gay?It seems like my pops and buildings need a ton of different goods but I can only acquire like 2 or 3 of them by trading.
denmark is lowkey really fucking powerful once you get past the billion loans, regency and black death
>>2213567I have been automating trading and everything just werksMy personal taste is that I want those systems to exist, but in the background rather than requiring micromanagement.
>>2213540>>2213540Lol I told you broPrepare for Big Boheemian Bvll
>>2213567Automate trade 100%. If you are very weak and not in Europe you might want to manually set a constant gold trade though. Each of these different sections are games on their own which is why it lets you automate them.
>>2213415It doesn't work for the true spellingKneb
>trade income: 0
did the latest patch straight up break saves?why there is no beta opt-in
>>2213572Ok I'll automate trade. Leave everything else un-automated tho?Admitatedly I never watched and guides or played the tutorial I just jumped in as Naples and immediately realized I didn't know anything. Thought I could learn by just clicking around but I feel a bit overwhelmed desu :(Smoothbrain problems I know
>>2213565before i took the screencap
>>2213574>everytime he plays in Europe he converts to Islamwhat's his problem?
>>2213561Indeed, also the UI does suck.
someone please make this make sense>>2213577>>2213577
>>2213578I'm not sure how good building automation is but it seems like something you'd at least want to leave off in the beginning of the game where buildings are very impactful and there is less money.
>>2213581True, it's pretty bad.
>>2213582It happened to me too. I like it though because it is making me money while I was losing before it sapped my trade capacity.
how do you start a colony?I discovered land but I don't know where to click
>>2213587Geopolitics -> ColoniesIt is really dumb but that is the way I found.
gunsmiths have insane profit margins
>>2213587You need the Colleagues and Colonizers dlc
I can't enjoy this game with the lack of sleep I get and coming back from work. Legit want to fall asleep after playing for a bit.
how autistic is the economy system? like can I just ignore war/diplomacy and just focus on flooding the market with cheap goods?
I'm nearly 4 hours deep and I just don't get it lads. Think I'm too much of a brainlet for this game. Feels like work.
>Clunky UI>Opaque mechanics with tons of tooltip autism>Third world countries can't do shit to resist Big white cock>Blame the Jews and expel them for poisoning wellsThis is the most based game made by Paradox in 15 years. Just need more graphs (unless there's a ledger I haven't seen yet)It's kino and I will be playing this for a long timeJust had to leave to church and I'm already missing my textile making sim
>>2213596Yes, you can dominate others using trade only
bros i'm worried this game ends up like CK3 where they do fuck all for years and this is all the content we're gonna get
>>2213596It's literal supply and demand mechanics with populations' needs and workshops' needs doing the demand. That's a basic summary
>>2213599Ledger is top right, you can live in there.
>>2213596Yeah 100%. I would even say that's the right way to play for several countries. I chose to win the HYW as England because that's just always my starting move in an EU game, but I think it would actually be way more optimal to just abandon France aside from some coastline to force market access into the interior and then just flood the world with cheap goods.I'm having a fuckload of fun no lie, this is easily my favorite Paradox game at least since Vicky 2, and it might truly be better than it already. A lot of release bugs still need to get fixed, but even factoring those in it's remarkably better than I thought it'd be. And I don't know about other people but I'm having no real performance problems either, this game plays twice as good as Vic3 with three times the content seemingly.
>>2213601Different studio Have faith in JohGOD
>>2213596It's really easy to work from the ledger and just focus on balancing your needs. My pops are still missing a bit of stuff with trade set to automatic that I could likely fix with a bit of grease but I'm lazy and it's minor shortages of goods I can't further produce heavily.
economy needs to be deepershow me what buildings make the most money and other stats, fuck this obscure bullshit, I want full control
>>2213608>show me what buildings make the most moneyThis is my only problem.I have buildings that are raping my economy and not making a profit. But I can't tell which.
>heir can't royal marry anyone because nobody is in range or would even say yes in the first place>heir can't marry local nobility because courtiers don't automatically marry and reproduce so no women in the entire empire after the ones present at game start all die offThanks for bringing back the absolute dumbest oversight in Imperator's character mechanics Johan you NIGGER
I'm ngl bros I think this might be the most autistic game I've ever played. In fact I think a prerequisite for enjoying something like this is that you've never had sex.
>>2213601it feels like a complete game already unlike CK3 at launch
>>2213608You can literally search by what buildings make the most profit, what are you schizoing about.
>>2213587Click into the location's menu and it should give an option that starts a charter in the province
>>2213608It literally gives you a profit breakdown and you can augment stuff by clicking the item produced by shops in the leftmost column (I just found this out. Useful to make more of a good like paper or fine cloth)
>>2213610you literally have to hover over each and every single one in each location and do calculations, it's so fucking annoyingand don't even get me started about upgrading existing buildings to higher tiers, you just have to manually build the exact amount regularly, there is an upgrade button hidden in the tooltip in each location (right side of the building list) but it's meaningless because you can also spam it and it builds more
>>2213619You can tell which buildings are making the most ducats by hovering over the income in the budget screen. But it only shows the top 10 or so.
God willing the UI and AI of this game will be fixed by 2.0 and it will become the definitive gsg for a decade or more
>>2213621>budgetyou mean economy -> balance? it only shows taxin production -> buildings I don't know if the profit per building shown is the expected potential/prediction of what building a new level would give or the current profitability, I assume you mean this tab

the king of hungary is getting quite old and his son still isn't his heirI am going to have to go to war with Poland over the Hungarian throne.Also noticed that my queen isn't listed as the king's consort even though the king is listed as her consort.
>>2212659Just pirated it. Is it good?
>>2213625this raises the question of how do i holobunga the natives?
Nice tard helmet
>>2213624Might be because it's foreign buildings.
>>2212874I literally cant fathom buying paradox games because of their DLC practises. All DLC for a game to be complete after 3 years usually costs like $400. So i need to spend $400 over 3 years to play the game with its complete vision? nah fuck off
I don't feel so good.Also for some reason the great pestilence isn't occurring even though we're touching tips like this.
>>2213634usually i just buy the base game but still play the pirate version
do pops naturally assimilate and convert?
>>2213638Demographics tab in a province, over a bunch a stuff and it should tell you the modifiers for it to need to convert.
>>2213638yes, or emigrate, one or the other
Why the fuck am I being forced into a war to defend Bohemia from a giant coalition? We have no relations and hate each other. I am HRE emperor dunno if that’s why. But my game might be over because the ai is retarded and I’m forced into this for some reason
i feel like shills didnt exaggeratei could be here for the next month
>>2213643>why am I obligated to defend members of my empire???
>>2213558didnt have 20 stab?
>>2213644this is the most complete release since ck3 and has tons of content already. they just need to fix all the shitty bugs
>>2213647But I wasn’t forced before for anyone else and it’s my fucking empire attacking these Hussite swine who conquered like half of Germany
does automating trade not work for anyone else? dunno if it's only because I'm automating in markets beside my main or what but I leave a big automated capacity but I never see anything in the current trades section
I keep buffing him with the parliament choiceOptimvs Princeps, the restorer of Italia (soon)

>>2213636Cool to see the AI do this, hopefully you can occupy their stuff before they can make comfortable landings.
>>2213657You are the pope now
>>2213650New patch, the overlord now has to defend its subject
>>2213643seriously fuck these faggots i was liuterally about to get my spy network to 20 the next month then go rape them with poland-hungary and naples
So apparently you just get a game over screen once the Sengoku Jidai begins and you're supposed to be given land as a Daimyo but it just deletes your clan instead?
why cant you set the byzantine's name to the accurate term "Greek Empire" like in CK3. I don't want to give greek frauds any legitimacy.
>>2213659Best I could do was stall for a while and then give up one of my vassals and 2k ducats.
>>2213662AI Austria needs some buffs. I miss seeing Habsburg niggas gettin turnt in central Europe.
>>2213666Basileía ton Rhomaion is best name

>>2213662france joined too so i guess im just helping my two worst enemies rape my empire
>>2213264They wanted it because they're 1337
>>2213668>Indebted to Genoa Uh oh
I want to play but I want to wait for a few patches first.
why does the game let me build roads in areas of foreign countries next to my own???
the game just needs a better AI, "railroading" gamerule, a few QoL UI features and multiple start datesTHEN it will be the best paradox game
Is Navarre 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?
>>2213684You can get agreements to build in them, some of them are apart of international organizations like HRE.
>>2213321Victoria is about the Second Industrial RevolutionEU5 is about the decline of Feudalism, the rise of Capitalism leading into the First Industrial Revolution
>>2213683You're going to spend the first 20+ hours no knowing what the fuck is going on anyways. Why not get that out of the way now if you think the game is broken
Who should I play in HRE? Leaning towards lower bavaria, don't want to be a front runner for emperor, but I want unique traditions. Are theocracies worth playing or should I stick to monarchies?
JOHAN!!!!!!
>>2213693play mainz
>>2213668wait i SHOULD have been taking other people's loans this whole time?
>>2213693Worms
Where the fuck do I check what supplies i need vs what im making/importing. This shits got so many fucking menus/.
are fiefdoms or vassals better?
>>2213220>they took parts of granada and some random shit in AfricaReconquering the peninsula and going to America should be the priorities. Going to Africa is just a waste of resources.
Just had my first crash. Somehow a foreign king ended up being elected in my republic?
is there any way to peacefully vassalize novgorod?they left the union after my first ruler like they are supposed toi don't see any options to interfere with their elections
How do I revoke it?
>>2213693The commie peasants
Someone said you can turn auto tilt off. Where the fuck is that in the settings?

is there any way to check historical population trends of a specific location?
>>2213669worry not, habsburg patriots are back in charge. Got the 1444 borders but a little bit better just in time. I do love how slow the game is with expansion and stuff.
>>2213712DRUMPF
Okay suggest me 5 to 10 things how you wanna fix the UI
>>2213720works on my machine
>>2213712Restarted, didn't crash, but now I am in a PU.IS THIS A GOOD THING OR NOT??
>>2213716please my negros
Best ways to kill off an heir?
>>2213712Didn't this happen historically with a few nations? It is how republics sometimes end up in or leading personal unions. Isn't the French president the ruler of Andorra?
>>2213718Do you mean the 'flat map' mode?Settings - Map - Flat map - Always on
>>2213728You could probably find a way to exploit it. I think when trying to merge, two countries can even fight over who is the senior partner.
>>2213731>Didn't this happen historically with a few nations?I only remember the case of Novgorod. Andorra was never a republic, it just happened that the princes there became kings of France after a while.
>>2213728Being in a PU is like having a defensive alliance.The thing to watch out for is that after 10 years, the strongest member of the union can try to assert their seniority over the rest of the union, and if you aren't the strongest you may start losing your autonomy and eventually get annexed.
>>2213732I want flat map mode on ideally but I also want that slight tilt you get in the other paradox games when you actually zoom in really close so I can see the units and tell easier if they’re professionals or levies. If I don’t have flat map on, it tilts way too much zoomed out. It feels wrong.
So does making a location a town/city lower the RGO size then?
>>2213736Try pressing down mouse wheel and sliding. There may be a way in the settings or through pressing something to freeze it.
>>2213731Andorra has two princes. One is a Spanish bishop and the other is king of France. France hasn't had a king for over a century so they decided it would just be whoever the head of state of France is.A while ago a Russian guy tried to declare himself king of Andorra and actually had a lot of local support, but the Spanish bishop refused to renounce his princedom. Eventually he declared war on the bishop and was promptly arrested and deported by Spanish authorities.
>>2213735>if you aren't the strongest you may start losing your autonomy and eventually get annexedhaha... BUT the game is telling me that the PU will dissolve once the ruler dies!
Maya gaming update post apocalypse:It's now the 1600s and I still have no fucking clue what feudalism is because there's no reform mechanic I can see to jump start your tech. Fortunately the colonial AI is so unambitious that I've been able to just chill and grab a lot of the imperial mexican territories. I would have done it a lot sooner, but I had a major tool shortage which totally crippled my colonial game.Turns out iron tools are a lot better than stone tools btw - who knew? Colonzing the 3 iron regions in the north massively jumpstarted my tool/weapon economy and let me blob. I can't tell if that's unintended behaviour or not because it doesn't let you expand the RGO without an advancement but it's absolutely amazing for the north american economies.For anyone else playing a shithole rushing down iron as early as possible is absolutely the way to go.Small vassals are incredibly OP for culture/religion assimilation, btw. I've practically doubled my core population by releasing custom subjects->enforce culture/religion->annex. I have my council full time on assimilation and they're still only like 10% as fast. I wish I had any idea at all what they're doingI actually quite like the southern border so I might stay passive with new spain. I guess it depends on where the AI actually starts to push back against me when I move north.
>>2213743Also texas has been like that since I first discovered it for some reason
How did this neighbor die at sea?Anyways I went with the Hungarian King, was that dumb? What's the move here?
How do I get trade capacity in foreign markets? Say I want to import furs as England. How do I get the scandis to sell me shit?
>>2213746You need the Merchant Mania DLC
The power of the Ottofags continue to deteriorate!Could this give rise to the ilkhanate?
why can i call a parliament if i have no parliament
>>2213750You have parliament it came free with your xbox
>>2213750its a meeting of powerful estates
>heir and king both died in the black deathWelp guess it's time to restart
>>2213746I think there are market buildings you can build in other countries/markets.
>>2213743Oh also some funny population quirks:Somehow a random province was totally spared from the great pestilence, and it's now by far my most populated province - literally twice my capital.There's a single rural province which has been the source of basically all of my colony population and it's now totally depopulated. For a while it could barely maintain its own population but for a couple of years now it's gradually been going down.I think I should probably be expanding all of the food RGOs in the north to just grow the population explosively, but it's already painful enough embracing estates as it is. I don't want to imagine how much worse it will be when the north actually has enough people to represent a substantial fraction of the country
Wait, fucking cahokia gets 4 cabinet slots?

>>2213766Just go read history books or watch history documentariesKings and Generals Youtube channel even has the cute cartoon characters and little army soldiers for you.
>>2213764Everywhere that's cored ends up okayThe bottom stuff is integrated but not cored because I'm self restricting below my diplomatic capacity in terms of how much I'm going to abuse vassal culture conversion. If I didn't care that would have all been cored like 150 years ago.If you went absolutely crazy I think it might genuinely be possible to reach empire rank before the europeans arrive. You'd have to absue vassal conversions like hell to get there before the institutions make it too hard though or get incredibly lucky with a european decline
>plan on setting up a comfy colony in north america>discover the east coast in 1580>papal state already in maine>???>check world map on pause screen>they have a colony that stretches from fucking georgia to maine already

please someone help, how do i get rid of this shitdo the needful
>>2213779don’t think UI is just about the more superficial aspects; it’s very much about showing what needs to be shown in the place it needs to be shown, and that’s much more complex than it seemsGiven the complexity of EU5, the fact that the UI WORKS is already a big deal, even if its aesthetics aren’t the best. Now, whether it actually works or not, I’m not sure—it seems like it does, but I’ll have to play to confirm. I completely understand not liking the aesthetics, but we should give the devs credit for the work on the more complex parts of the interface
why am i getting 0 proximity bonus for roads when the place is connected by roads to my capital?
My pops are all very happy and quite literate, but I feel like I could be making a lot more money if I ignored a lot of this shit.

BANK UPDATE!I OWN A VASSAL WITH A PORT!Now I need to figure out how to build a navy.
How can you see a spreadsheet of all the RGOs your country has including undeveloped?The RGO map mode looks like a mosiac so hard to tell.

Is there any way to see how much a counting house (+33% local crown power) contributes to your crown power?
>>2213746you should be good to go from the get go, but unless you have trade advantage, someone may race you for the same goods. trade capacity has nothing to do with that like other anons said, its so that you can move goods between different markets (e.g. you are anglo but want to sell swedish wood to prague or whatever, you build trade offices in sweden then create trades there). if you want to import something to your market, all you need is capacity and advantage in foreign market.now that i think about it, the trade system is bretty gud, fucking johan actually made a good game
How do you play as a navy based country? It's in the patch notes today.
>>2213820You need the Rule the Waves DLC
The Illustrious House of Northern Swiss Plateau!
>>2213820Idk, seem like being pirate is one of that You are landless and only have your fleet
Fucking Franche-Conté is trying to blob into Swabia and Switzerland. It had already conquered a handful of minors in the region. Now, out of nowhere, they declared war on me and I don't even share a direct border with them. Can my coallition win this one? We'll see. Despite having more numbers the AI is giga retarded and we're spread out.
Can you customize vassal names at all?
The Rise of Turks situation is gone and it appears there won't be an Ottoman blob this game.Erenids and Ottomans seem to be roughly equal, leaning Erenids.
1446honorable mention to orthodox ottomans and muscovy looking like it could actually crush the horde
>>2213820You have to play until the golden age of piracy starts and pirate tags start appearing. I think you'll get an option to switch when they appear. I believe you can also create a pirate subject in the New World.
How do you manipulate the market to make your buildings profitable? Create export trades off their products manually or what?
>>2213820I've seen a pirate republic nation spawn in setsuan islands (okinawa-ish area)...didn't try tag-switching tho
Firendly AI don't use its upperhand. Even if they travel a long distance to get to the war zone, allies such as Parma, Wurttemberg and U. Bavaria will literally wait for the minor Kanton allies to loose battles to join in, they stay some six to five provinces away from the fight just watching. After some defeats to the consolidate Fr*ench armies, the closest major ally, Wurttemberg, joined us and whe tanked the moutain frogs while fucking Parma crossed the Alps just to watch.
>>2213832Very nice borders, it is like EU4's start date
>>2213791read the bailiff tooltip carefullyit specifically says it does not stack with bonus from capitalonly build it in places you have 0 capital proximity and don't plan on getting it in the near term.
NO YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME
Two years in - 18 hours in game but most of that was my trial run, probably 3 or 4 hours into this game.No idea really what I'm doing. Automating trade was a good idea because that was what was really overwhelming me. Everything else feels similar enough to EU4 or Imperator for me to feel semi-confident I know what I'm doing.I'd really like to defend the Roman Empire in the East and focus on the western Mediterranean but of course they rivaled me. I'll still try to change their mind but I'm worried it'll be too late by then.Entered a personal union with Hungary, Croatia and Poland(technically not yet but on succession) Not really sure that was a good idea but sounded cool at the time.Spent most of this game so far just building Tailor's Guilds, expanding wheat RGO a bit, and putting a road up to Aquila.I've got my counselors Increasing control, assimilating pops, and converting the orthodox ones down in Calabria. I've got a CB on Provence I might use, might try to take Sicily, might do nothing idk but I'm done for tonight.This game is interesting in that I don't understand really what I'm doing, not really strongly compelled to blob, pretty sure I couldn't do it even if I tried, and I spend most of the time just kinda staring at it and clicking thru menus but it's been the only thing I can really think about since it released.Hopefully I can actually learn how to play, or maybe it's not even playable in it's current state. I don't really know. Either way I'll be back tomorrow
wait so if i understand the economy correct i should be colonizing a bunch of remote provinces, establishing markets in each of them and then trade between them?
no one is helping me, you're all fags>>2213785
>>2213836and it was early early btw like only 2 years in, I think it's event spawn from korean coast pirates situation or whatever
>forced the austrian emperors to use italian in their courtsBASED!
>>2213835just automate it, i think trading manually is either for someone who needs to min max hard and is a masochist or a merchant republic type of run. anyways, auto -> improve RGOs -> manufacture cheap goods into manufactured goods e.g. lumber + dye + tools (if you dont have any, thats where automated trade comes into play) into furniture through Carpenters. furniture will be then sold automatically if it is a good enough export good. but yeah, furniture is just an example, look what RGOs you have where you play, expand them, manufacture them, sell em
>>2213842Yes, that is how you get new world goods to the old world
We won, and I grabbed a couple of provinces off one of the Contois German allies and tried to cripple them as much as possible with war reparations and releasing Kyburg, which has a higher level castle that will be a buffer zone now hopefully.
>>2213842yeah pretty much. if you estabilish a new market in new world, you should have trade capacity to push it back home
What's the best way to get more pops? I want more pops.

The SVVISS BVLL shall not be stopped. At this point I wish the other Swiss Confederation would be already unlocked. I'm not sure they are working at all besides the military policy voting. The other debates and reforms are always some years further afar from being enabled.

>>2213851Convert to norse and go grab some

>>2213861You need to get your relationship with them higher
The Hussites won in less than 6 months.All of Bohemia is now Hussite.Also the Ruler of Bohemia is the Holy Roman Emperor.
I can embrace feudalism a mere 285 years late. I'll continue this shit tomorrow after getting some sleep.>>2213801In another few decades I'll probably end up quitting and doing my fifth run, in Europe for a change. For some reason the pestilence still hasn't hit and I would think that it probably never will, which means I'll stay with my current population + get more from colonization + get 7m or so from the remaining Mexican states and up becoming an utter behemoth. Just need to be willing to continue and manage the economy properly.
also im sure some anons missed it given how cluttered the UI is, but every click of this button expands the most profitable RGO, CTRL + click expands 5 times and SHIFT + click spends all your money>>2213861pretty sure you have trade office from the beginning. other than that, +100 relations and needs to be built in city
>>2213868Hussite wars still not triggered for me while playing as boh. Its almost 1444
>>2213872Despite the Hussites winning the war. The battles continue all across Europe.
okay so this mechanic is just bugged, right?Not only did I have to fight a succession war because it gave Hungary to Poland despite the previous king having a valid male heir, but now that I've gotten Hungary in my union they're STILL going to go to Poland when my current king dies, even though he has a male heir.
Couldn't you just start a charter, obtain a location and abandon the charter. Creating a sort of outpost to let you have even more range?
Russia is a complete shithole, I think I get why it never unifies or does anything in timelapses after playing in that region.
>>2213881The problem is that the Golden Horde doesn't collapse.
>>2213100>>2213506okay this it going to be tedious as fuck to set up but i realize now that i've been wasting a lot of time in this position and that trading rgos between markets is 10 times more profitable than chain production of shit that is gonna be taxed at 15% max anyway>>2213850>>2213847
>>2213879wait actually, I just remembered that it didn't go to Poland, it went to a random arch-bishop from the same dynasty
>>2213882Did on my machine
>>2212964All the more reason it should have been fixed by now >>2212953I know for a fact they didn't have the same tech as euros, they had a lower tech tier then subsahran africa, even the Mesoamericans and Andeans were lower>>2212963It shouldn't be Aztec specific, but I guess even for Eurasians they're country specific rather then everybody getting them
>>2213884i should also be connecting to this market somehow
>civil war>sieging a remote fort while chasing the enemy main army>beat their army>it retreats 8 provinces away to the siege and instantly stackwipes those troops
Ottofag update!They have embraced Orthodoxy after getting their ass kicked by the Eretnids!
>>2213884How are you getting so much tax money? My estates barely give me anything.
>>2213813That's too much BLOB smSTAAAAAAP
>>2213895and who are you playing as?i dont think im getting that much, in fact i will stop trying to get any tax at all.Also what is your crown power, if its low it means that estates are hording all the profits to themselves, especially nobility are devious for that.
>>2213851I just put one of my cabinet members to attract immigration non stop. Works great for a OPM. If minorities grow too much, put another cabinet member to assimilate them, it's rather quick. Rose my pops from 8k to 40k this way, probably half of my "high allemanic" swiss pops must have some arpitan or lombard ancestry at this point kek.
>>2213894does this mean they dont have casus belli to expand anymore?
>>2213894I really can't tell with a lot of these strength comparison texts whether they indicate you are stronger or they are. It is because a lot of them rely on phrases and such and I spontaneously forget the exact connotation at an inopportune moment since you don't hear these cheesy phrase often in life.
starting as Norway is hard, you've got a handful of towns and zero army or navy. every winter your construction gets paused for months.
>>2213901Maybe I should try fixing my crown power. I'm playing as Wehale.
lord have mercy, what the fuck did they do to this game to achieve thisthis is paused and just moving the map around btw
Playing EnglandThis is like the third war with france where I rack up enough warscore to sue for peace but run out of manpower to finish them off I just keep peacing them for money and war reps.... very annoying

>>2213666just change name in localization files for now
so now the natives are gonna get nuked yes? and my own lads will be resistant so i dont actually have to do anything>>2213909yeah its slow, a nice way to learn the game. the climate is one thing, the absolute imbecil swedish bastard king you got is even worse. but kongsberg is your saving gracei dont think i built any army or navy before 1400.
For Castile: How do I stop this from happening? I don't want Aragon or Navarre as rivals. I tried vice-versa alliance and defensive alliance between the 2.I want to peacefully vassalize Navarre and PU with Aragon.I don't care about France invading them.
do you focus on buildings or rgos to fulfill needs and inputs?
Finally reached the 1500s after 10 hours or so of playing, I think I'm behind the times so hopefully I can start blobbing fast to form Russia.

I'm tired...Finally defeated Genoa and Venice, deleted one of their markets and soon I'll delete the other.After Friuli is annexed I will take the war to Provence and conquer PIedmont, but I will most likely have to fight Naples for that so I might just attack Naples instead and take land from Provence through a separate peace deal.It really fucking sucks that you have to chase 40 1k stacks around and they never die and the AI immediately rebuilds them like nothing.

>>2213958I like it.
How do I check the amount of special events and country innate buffs my country has?
>>2213967I know you can see it when you're in the country selection screen before you start the game (I think it's in the top right of the pop up on the left hand side of the screen after you select a nation but before you click "Play as Nation")Not sure you can or not after the game has started but you can always just go to the new game screen again
I'm ragequitting the fucking game, I give up
>He boughtered? Fine... Release the GOOD day 2 patch.
So does "isolate the country" bubonic plague decision actually do anything to stop the plague? I genuinely can't tell by analyzing the decision itself, unless there's some hidden modifier it adds. Even when I use it as soon as it's possible, it doesn't actually prevent the plague from hitting me.
20,000 sirs give me no rest

How do you deal with attrition across the sea in foreign lands? Do I need a special unit, action, or what? I remember in EU4 it was dependent on enemy's land having enough supply to hold your units
>>2213983What I'm saying is, even if I enable it, it has no effect on how quickly I get the plague too. If it doesn't, why is it an option, and especially why is it an option that costs stability and estate unhappiness? It's just a noob trap then. If you go isolate the cities/court in hiding/segregate the sick that's the only choices which do anything positive. Just seems weird or not working as intended
How do I leave a PU and get another ruler than the other PU members? Every other member votes for integration and I don't want to get got.

any preparation for the black death is ahistorical and woke desupeople back them didn’t understand what it was and believed it was a curse sent by God.There’s nothing anyone could have even imagined doing let alone implemented (also black death was really a Crusader Kings thing im starting to think the game should have started in the earth 15th century again but here we are…also it is kinda funny most players will never even reach the age of discovery let alone the late game stuff. I wonder if theres even any content past the reformation

So playing as England am I supposed to invade scotland early on and just ignore that it has zero control?
>Reinforce memeing is a thingPretty lame, very noticeable against hordes since they'll often wipe out a flank at the start of the battle before units even have time to enter the front
I think building an early standing army is something that delays your snowball. It costs not only a good amount of ducats in maintenance for the troops but also for the armories, not to mention the gold invested into the troops.
>>2214032It makes a huge difference in wars, though. Houfnices seem to speed up sieges quite a bit.
why is the trade blacked out like this? is it trade range? surely from the canary islands i can send stuff to the caracas area?
>>2214029I mean it depends on your objectives, but I wouldn't. You'll just make your estates stronger without getting much anything in return. I waited until I had centralized my realm before going after them. I still don't have control up there, but I at least got my crown power up before I gave free shit to the estates to tax.
>>2213392>>2213411>>2213418Unironically, the Aztec were not colonialist.They were militaristic conquerors, but it and most other big Mesoamerican powers didn't usually directly govern the places they conquered (likely due to the difficult terrain and lack of draft animals): In fact they are were arguably more hands off then bigger Classic Maya kingdoms, Monte Alban, certainly the Purepecha Empire, etc.The Mexica of the Aztec capital demanded taxes of economic goods, labor or military service (not of sacrifices: captives for sacrifices were mostly taken during wars or via slave trade, not annually from existing subjects, plus EVERYBODY did sacrifices), and obligations like to not block roads, providing military aid on request, to put up a shrine to the Mexica patron god Huitzilopochtli etc, but that was usually it, with existing kings, laws, and customs kept in place, though there were exceptions were they meddled further then thatThis meant that subject and vassal states were effectively to even formally still independent states that retained their own political identity, agency, and interests: The "Empire" was more a network of states then it was a singular polity, like the Athenian/Delian League or to a lesser extent the Holy Roman Empire (by extension this is also why the idea Cortes got allies from the Mexica being hated from sacrifices or oppression is a misconception: It's that their loose rule enabled opportunistic side switching)By extension, they didn't really displace and found cities and immigrant into the places they conquered much either. It's not unheard of, in some cases when they really wanted to make an example of a place, they'd sack the city, enslave/massacre everybody there and then repopulate it with nobles from Tenochtitlan or other core cities, but that was rare. Sometimes they did replace local kings and then turned royal land into estates for Mexica/other core nobles and royalty, but that was pretty uncommon too.

>>2214059Tax is only like 3 ducats while they're down -12Peasants are the only estate I can get up positive by reducing taxes
>>2214060Barlas so you can educate him properly. There might be gamey shit with the home region decision.
think we're gonna have to move capital to Den Bosch some time after integrating Hollandstole a market from Cologne by mistake and it ended up there, Brussel and Antwerpen are huge cities though so not sure if better proximity overall is worth it
>>2214061Okay check what do they spend their shekels on and try to produce or import them cheaply
Is it just me or does proximity not seem to work like it really should? I have coastal provinces which have almost 100 control, but they aren't treated as a nearer source of control than the capital. Control literally propagates to them from the capital and they have like 5 control, when the province directly adjacent to them has 100.
EU5's control mechanics actually make sense of the EU4 Timmy starting situation - having his capital in Herat meant that Samarkand, Kabul and Qom/Isfahan were too far away to administrate properly, so Shah Rukh released vassals and let his sons rule in Transoxiana, Fars, and so on. Ajam in this case is just a nobles rebellion lead by a Timurid prince, and if EU5 started in 1444 - would start at (civil) war with the Timurids day 1.Actually thinking about it, EU5 mechanics would make it interesting to play the EU4 Timurid start situation. You could have an event to designate a successor amongst Shah Rukh's sons, and when he dies, you integrate one of the vassals and get to play as that character, for example picking Ulugh Beg for his superior stats and also instantly integrating Transoxiana/Samarkand.Alternatively there could be a worse/rebellion outcome, where you still get to play as the "Timurids" tag, but with a twist - Transoxiana becomes the Timurids, you get to play as them, and the regular Timurid heartland gets split up amongst Khorasan, Sistan, Fars and Afghanistan based on core provinces. Or it could work similarly to the Shogunate - Timurid princes can fight eachother, and whoever occupies Herat gets to be the Sultan. THere could also be some shenanigans with Personal Union mechanics, like in EU4 if you skip further along in the timeline, at one point Khorasan and the Timurids are in a personal union instead of a vassalage contract.

How do I get my daughter to marry into a BBC?
>characters are fully legal adults when they turn 16What did johan mean by this?
>>2214082>>2214083Not that guy but for most part casualties are completely meaningless since pop promotion is so fast and you likely have extra peasants to spare. If you can grab territory then wasting all the people you need to do that is almost always the correct choice.
>>2214088It's 15 in EU4 and also 16 in CK3. Interestingly (and expectedly), CK3 characters cannot get naked if they're under 18 years old. You know those nudist religions? Even so-called "adults" (age 16) are forced to wear rags until age 18.
>>2214089Yeah, I do have peasant surpluses everywhere so maybe it doesn't matter but I'm not sure exactly what the penalties or modifiers are so it's hard to say. It might matter more later when you have a ton of buildings but by then the levy is probably a panic button so it still wouldn't matter.

>>2214098to be fair it is the early 1400s already, and by 1444 in EU4 france definitely had more than 30k non-peasant troops
>>2214098France had like 14 million people in it in 1450, having 30k troops isn't that crazy. They were basically uncontested in Europe for a long time, it's only when the industrial revolution hit that finally London became the most populated city in the world and that's into the 19th century before it happens

What the hell does procure remedies even do?
The French were so OP they had to nerf themselves to even give Europe a chance to compete. It's realistic for them to roflstomp everyone.

>>2214117it procures remedies.
is there any way i can exploit conquered provinces? Or get their people/resources out??
>>2214120only thing I know is the law change in the union
>>2214085yeah uhthere's gotta be a better way to do thisit was fine the first few generations, but now i literally get a popup every week
>>2214117Don't bother. Max out hospitals in you and any vassals, then: Do the isolate cities, hide court, and the quarantine(?) sick option that gives 15% base disease resistance. Note: (!) Not the one that requires you to build a building, sick house, which while it would give 30% resistance resulting in 45% base resistance, there's literally only one place near Europe makes the RGO for it. So it will be capped at 15% anyways due to not having incense from yemen, so the base 15% option is superior and doesn't require building a building. Also blame the JewsThis resulted in only 700k deaths for me as bohemia instead of 900k+, which in hindsight isn't too bad. I'm sure there's a better way such as if you have more cities for the isolate cities 80% resist buff to affect, but I don't know how to influence town or cities to get built. Also prague was barely affected and only lost like 10% of its pop, but now I get like 1k migrants there a month post plague. Lots of serbs and bosnians for some reason..

Dynamic historical events are just missions but worse. Instead of giving you a task with a reward instead you get the same thing without the initial task given to you.Instead of do x to get reward you instead you have you did a random thing here's a reward. Very strange change. Maybe this game needs like a journal system like Victoria 3 has where your countries unique stuff is presented to you
>>2214126I don't like the character system after all. Micromanaging courtiers is a huge chore.
We are so back
i have accepted that the black death kills a third of my pop every gameit's just the new humiliation ritual
All the black death choices just seem pointless
>>2214112um no sweaty
>>2214144It really is a disaster. Missions are lot better than the event based content that EU5 leaned into. With missions you can see what you need to do the get the rewards, you can mostly see what you get as a reward and you can progress mostly at your own pace no time gates or waiting. With events it's a total black box. Is it worth picking luneburg and waiting till 1600 to get an event that gives +5% modifier, maybe maybe not, the system is time gated and to even peruse it you basically need to go to wiki and read the events before hand.>>2214150That's cause they are, they are there to create an illusion of control (which isn't a bad thing btw) that way the whole thing feels like you are doing things even if really you just aren't.
>>2214137>you forget how annoying EU4 could be before it got a decade full of just that kind of qol updates. not really sure what you expected?Nta but you just said "they already learned their lesson" you expected them to retain that information.Like yeah, I think any reasonable person would expect them to retain information from one of their most popular games
>>2213557>unification cb>-100 relations and restrict alliances for claimant statesproblem solved
I feel like diplomats shouldn't be something you pay for but instead related to the general opinion of your neighboring countries. So if you get a lot of AE your available diplomats are sharply decreased for the period until the malus ticks away
>>2214153>Missions are lot better than the event based content that EU5 leaned intodogshit take mission trees are the single worst part of EU4 and I'm so glad they're gone, you either do a railroaded playthrough ticking off boxes for overpowered bonuses or force nonsensical outcomes just to clear them (i.e all the mission trees that tell you to colonize X or conquer Y even if in your current playthrough it makes zero sense to do so, just because IRL that happened, encouraging your empire to make retarded and counterproductive choices just to claim the rewards) Seriously, anyone who actually likes EU4 mission trees is a fucking moron whose opinion you can immediately discard. The way to make different countries and regions play and feel different is not by giving them a bunch of fucking MMORPG fetch quests with proscribed results that just hand you claims or resources for finishing, it's by actually making their gameplay different at the core level so they play out differently in a naturalistic way. The fact all it took for retards to start saying vicky3 was """""fixed""""" was for that dog shit game to start adding in journal entries and mission trees instead of making every single country not play exactly the same as you speedrun an atheist gay commie fanfic shows how awful the taste of people who like this shit is.
>>2214047>>2214055So, like Jadwiga of Poland?
>>2214160I'm fine with paying allowing you to scale better and for you to neglect diplomacy but yeah
>>2214164nta sounds like your issue with missions is more with their reward rather than their structure

>>2214173His issue is that he is seething
>>2214185nah he right
>>2214173My issue with them is that they exist to begin with, every single game with mission trees is literally the worst of its kind paradox has ever made. HOI4 sucks ass. EU4 sucks ass. Victoria 3 sucks ass. The fact that EU5 has actual pops and no mission trees is a breath of fresh air, I almost can't believe that Johan went with such a hard line stance since so many retards think """"flavor""""" is "when you pick a country and it has a mission tree vomiting free shit at you and warping your entire playthrough around it" Then there's the knock on effects of mission trees existing, where they warp the game around them as slop-eating pigs demand them as the laziest low effort content instead of actually working on the game's simulationist elements to naturally result in different gameplay for different nations/cultures/government types, no instead it's just "okay if you pick X nation and clear your quest log you get Y reward hard coded to trigger!"
>>2214164I wish they removed random events where its just picking between 5 prestige or 5 ducats
>>2214185I'm the opposite of seething, I nearly orgasmed on the spot when I saw that all the EU4 fags lost and Johan personally made this game to cater to (Me) by cutting that shit out of the game.
>>2214181why are mexicans like this?
>>2214191So instead flavor is when bonuses are obfuscated through random actions and spread out very thinly across multiple menus and sub menus? Ooooookay
I don't know if Yuan is just weak or the AI has trouble defending large territorial area, but this war wasn't too tough. It just took a long time to tick up warscore (to get independence, I had to take his capital which is stupid but whatever). I won this war, but all the guys in my Independence League DIDN'T become independent which was stupid as fuck because I wanted to expand into them so I dropped it.
Is there any reasonable tricks to kill your monarch reliably? I fucking hate the guy Sweden starts out it. Fuck it, kill the union if need be. I just don't want to see this fuck and his incompetent face any more.

Why is Norway a recommended start if they're the Junior Partner in a union and can't do jack shit on their own because of Sweden? JUST because they're in a position to colonize NA really early into the game?
>>2214220Norway starts with the only silver mine in scandinavia atleast.
>>2214220You wouldn't be doing much more if you were Sweden. The point is that it's a safe start where you can just click buttons, it's fine if it's a junior partner for that purpose, if anything it's preferential because being a junior partner is worthless in this game vs 4 so you can just sit there forever with no downsides and then fight your way out if you want.
>>2214207yuan doesnt use levies so if they lose their standing army of 2 guys they just die.
>>2214220>if they're the Junior Partner in a union and can't do jack shit on their own because of Sweden?you do realize this isnt eu4 and you are independent and can do your own diplomacy right?
>>2214230Initially sure, but after 5 years Sweden can start passing laws and limit your diplomacy and tighten the union, no?
I'm tired, boss
>>2214209>Is there any reasonable tricks to kill your monarch reliably?dying to the black death and commanding troops and hoping he gets killed are the only two i can think of

>>2214220>JUST because they're in a position to colonize NA really early into the game?Greenland is the true start for that since they can see NA at the start, but your entire gameplay is just currying favors to ask for settlers and money
>>2214249I kind of want to try that start. Seems like an ungodly unlivable shithole with a population of 50 hungry vikings, 3 walruses and an orca.

WAIT A SECOND, if I want to increase control in a location, do I need to build roads BOTH from the capital to the location AND from the location to the capital? What purpose does the non-capital location road construction serve?
>>2214234could be worse, I dunno if this will ever end, presumably because Castile joined England
>>2214256Roads lower the control decay on distance, their location doesn't really matter for the calculation but you may as well start them from your capital otherwise there's a chance you get 0 benefit out of them if you are trying to go too far anyways

Is the difference betweehn a lot of troops just more effecient use of combat width? Early Acquiebusiers are identical to archers but are 400 men taking up 1 space instead of 100 men taking up 1 space, so I presume they're better and despite having the same attack do more due to being more men.But levy units, such as matchlock levy, have the same stats as regular units generally as well but they get 1000 troops in a single regiment.And the reformed longbowman has a higher logistics cost than the longbowman, but the unit size stays the same, and all the stats stay the same.Is there a hidden bonus based on the age a unit is from to it's effectiveness?
>>2214266Jesus this is horrid, I retyped bits a couple of times and didn't look it back over at the end. Sorry for that.I'm doing well in battles, but I just don't understand how important teching into the unit upgrades is.
>>2214262thanks, I'm an idiot for not noticing (why is default cb no cb even if you have one...)I guess you just try to ally castile to counter aragon and that's it, which is a reason to stay catholic
>>2214265You need to master napoleonic concentration of force by playing at 2000apm
>>2214266>>2214269yea the main bonus is that you get more men per frontage (space)if battle is using full frontage you would pretty much be dealing double damage if the enemy still had old units
>>2214260so if I build a road from the capital to province A, what is the purpose of then building a road from province A to the capital? Do I get any benefit?

i have -25 diplomatic reputation due to assasinating a king. i've made 6 alliances and every time ive been attacked they broke the alliance :D
damn why are wars in this game so tedious, i need to put down my pu noble rebels in sicily as castile and literally can't be bothered to do it, i hope my vassal swarm takes care of it (also for some reason automatic ship transfer doesn't work for me)
How do I get Welsh troops to France? I'm having a hard time putting up real resistance to the French because the vast majority of my vassals' men are parked in Britain. I am also attempting to conquer the Castilian throne through marriage. Plantagenet Spain, not Hapsburg Spain, okay?

>>2214454
>>2214456>why are wars in this game so tediousi am the other way around, i actually enjoy them. what i do not enjoy, are long sieges (but thats the lack of cannons) and ai nigger sieging everything with 1k armies. when they actually stack and big fights happen, i like thatalso thankfully they learned their lesson from victoria 3 and did not try to invent the wheel again while failing miserably so thats a plus

>>2214476Your estates don't need money for anything, them being broke is good thing because it means that you are fully utilizing the cash they could be wasting and they are maximizing the free money generation. It's a huge win win especially if you are a decently sized blob.

>>2214502Okay after a quick glance it seem like chinks are getting filtered hard, crying about missing what they call ‘the straightforwardness of EU4’Also quite surprise that most of them seem to play western nations first instead of China.

>>2214537Yes
messieursit is time

>>2214560wont work after carracks come
>>2214558You don't really need this, AI is totally powerless to resist your military as is, which is the only barrier against blobbing where having more money and manpower would help. This mostly helps tall builds as a result.
Man, I can't wait until 2030 and the release of a revolutional DLC featuring mission trees.
>>2214534I'll be so sad when this guy is gone
is there any way to see top world producers of a certain good?
Game 2, biz survived long enough for the turks to start invading.However most of its armies are stuck because the AI set an order to carpet siege an island it can't get to.The vassals are doing most of the work
>Black Prince has taken the throne at the tender age of 18 It's chevauchée-in time.
>>2214571How do you get the debug info?
OK let's assume I blob out and manage coalitions and such properly, but don't use vassals and just take everything directly. What the FUCK am I to do with 90% of my country being close to 0 control pieces of shit that give me no monetary or army benefits in any way? Slowly integrate each province I conquer at a pace of 20 years per? Crazy shit.Expansion seems only possible by taking minimal land for yourself (0-1 province) and releasing a vassal for every 1-3 provinces you conquer otherwise.
this game is nothing like Victoria 2, 3 and EU4what do (You) call this genre?
>>2214574Launch game with -debug_mode argument or better, install a mod that add a keybind for debug mode
>>2214579>genregrand strategy game.
How do regular professional units stack up against peasant levies? Man for man? I want to out everything into an early professional army with quality, all the techs, and noble levies and see how it goes. How hard is it to beat armies twice my size?
>>2214569canonize him
>>2214575I would say decide on the size of your base country, then feed vassals around
>>2214575In the early game, you’re in the feudal era. So you have to be feudal and utilize vassals like kings did irl.
Does this change as ages progress or something? Why is it so hard to keep it up?
How do I make niggas read and improve literacy besides techs?
>>2214595build libraries, keep clergy happy, laws.
>there are t*rks in this thread as we speak
>>2214402If playing with historical setting on, I'd really perter it if historical nations were very likely to emerge with some degree of variation tolerated. A mess like this would be acceptable if historical nations setting were off, but then with the complete opposite result, and instead of making the sameish map every damn time like we see in these timelapses. There's just way too many unconsolidated regions by this date. To me, this is the biggest issue with the game currently, everything else seems like it will be ironed out in a few more months of patches.
finally embraced wanking
>>2214571Bizzies got stuck 30yrs in a civil war and no progress was made. Same AI bug where AI sets their army to carpet siege stuff they can't reach.Karaman got vassalized (again) by eretnids. Serbia decided to get Rome because fuck you pope.Timur did not spawn.>>2214574Start the game with -debug_modeI turned it to disable some of the render stuff so speed 5 is 5x faster
>>2214575Feed it to vassals which integrate and convert it for free and then annex. If you take it directly to make your name on the map bigger then you just ignore it, it doesn't contribute but it's away from the AI and makes your name on the map bigger which was your goal so it doesn't matter.
what the FUCK
Honestly, I'm pretty impressed with the amount of flavor so far for a base Day 1 release. I'm barely a decade in as Florence, not even a Tier 1 country, but I've already had a bunch of country specific historical events (banking crisis, sale of Prato, guy getting installed as head of government). Then there's a bunch of government specific, Italy specific AND country specific events, reforms, policies and advances. A disaster threat popped up for a while about the Ciompi Revolt. And the whole Guelphs and Ghibellines split that comes with a Casus Belli and some mechanics. It's been genuinely nice so far. I just hope it's not all frontloaded.

>>2214613yeah
had to restart my england run which conquered half of france because i gave too much power to the nobility and it shutdown my governmentgetting crown power over the nobility is the most important thing at the start of the game
>>2214543we game
>>2214624Just release Cornwall and enforce a culture change on it while taking as much of its income as possible. Both punishing and humiliating the people, and also converting them into your primary culture.
Anybody else noticed how shitty as well as buggy the armies are UI wise, and how garbage the support for flat map is? The shitty little toy soldiers run ass backwards at the enemy, and when they sit on some location they are like 10cm away from said location on my physical monitor. I wish there was a way to disable the troops like in EU4 and HoI4, and the flat map made sense. Also allow us to permanently disable some of the alerts at the top, there's plenty of worthless shit like that one that alerts you if you have so much as 1(1) random brat in your court without an expensive education, and lags to fucking hell and back if you dare to hover over it to boot.
>>2214624i'm cornish:(
>>2214636I'm so sorry for your curse.
>>2214575it changes later in the game. also: >2214591

>>2214643Are you on 1.0.2? I think it wrote on the patch notes that they fixed that.
Are roads upgradable or do I need to pay the full price for new ones? Should I keep building gravel roads if I'm about to unlock paved roads?
>>2214591>>2214587>>2214619I mean, yeah, that's what I'm doing. I was just wondering how would a campaign that's just full on mass conquest go. Go nowhere presumably because you'll be stuck at 1337 effective size with large rebel factions.

>>2214660wait for the customization dlc
>>2214663everyone bitching about hourly ticks lol, they only count for combat. they do nothing else, thats not whats slowing you down
>>2214647Eventually, your control and power will increase with development and technology. I’m playing a game as Scotland and I annexed all my starting vassals (mainly because if Scottish history is anything to go b they’re a fucking menace). I’ve rushed centralization and built bailiffs and boats and it’s really not that bad. I’m still early game though and Scotland isn’t huge at the start. I only have two locations with zero control, and I’m probably going to give in and make them vassals. But those are starting borders. Everything I’ve taken in Ireland is a vassal or fief. I don’t think it’d go well at all otherwise.

>>2214724Yeah. It was funny seeing the "how will we mod without a launcher" retards though.
I love this game so much, brosI'm literally spending my time at work watching economy and trade tutorial videos because I have no clue what am I doing
I like that the states occasionally build stuff in your provinces if they have money.
>>2214725yes
>>2214731I'm spending my time at working talking to you bros about the game, just to go home and then play the game. It's taken over my daily life in a big way.
>>2214584It depends on the Age and composition (mostly how much cavalry) but in Age 3 I was confident in beating 2:1 odds. They don't take many losses either and replenishing them is fast if you're around your border. In Age 2 they're still decent but it's hard to afford a big enough one to fight big battles.
uhhh... what???
>>2214584I lost vs an army a third my size because they were running and by the time I caught them I had 0 morale

i started 1 (one) playthrough as England 5 minutes after the game released. I've played 27 hours and I've just reached 1444Looking at the timelapse maps, I realize nothing has happened outside of what I have caused to happen. The world is frozen stillThis wont be fixed soon will it
>>2214777No. You must persist in the world you have created and suffer the consequences of your own actions. It’s the only way to truly learn and experience real kino.
>>2214789It’ll probably be a year before the AI truly does things that we expect it to. They seem to have made it more aggressive, but it’s not there yet. I mean, EU4 has been out for over a decade and the AI still doesn’t do what it should in south Asia.

It's all smokes and mirrors.>>2214793Did you blob or that's just growth? I'm not even sure how to get good pop growth in this game
JOHAN, FIX YOUR SHITTY UI! I will become blind trying to decipher your game's text.
should inflation matter for largely barter based peasant economies?
>>2214798Forgot my weebum like a dummy
>>2214798I didn't blob, I still have the same provinces I started withI just kept using the invite settlers diplo action and encouraging migration
why does the AI move so fast and siege immediately but all my armies move slow and sieges are stuck for years despite having a shit ton of artillery

How can I avoid the black death? Also where can I see the full list of deaths by country? I will reload the game until Bohemia is completely fucked by the black death

>>2214806god thats ugly

>>2214810*colonial nations i meant
>>2214781My King was one of the first people to die of it, then about 35% of the population disappeared. It's pretty grim watching your economy evaporate but at least there's no longer any fags complaining about how there's not enough fur.
>>2214800barter economies don't existif there are no coins then they're probably using wheat or rice or gallons of milk as currency
>>2214818I'm playing as Brandemburg and I end up having 300k deaths, are you telling me I can't avoid that in any way?
>>2214814I think there is? Like they said unifications could bring about unified culture like 'German', but if the culture conversion is already overtuned they might be converting pops so fast that they decide to not even do it
>>2214820I only have fags complaining about fur. I literally can’t important enough of it for them. I don’t know what the fuck is going on.

nice flag
selecting armies and moving them around is so fucking trashy and buggyalso, winter started yet my army was allowed to begin marching into a blockaded mountain pass despite supposedly being impossible to cross, then they get movement lock, can't get into the location, and now they're stuck there all winter while the enemy keeps sieging elsewhereseriously fix this fucking malware trash of a game
>>2214858the amount of prestige and influence you get depends on their stats and traits
>>2214859>YorkistsYawn. Wake me up when the Tudors are in power.
>>2214841Much better since I upgraded my fish rgo
Redpill me on inefficient minting bros.Do I need to secure more gold via trade? Does that mean automated trade is useless in game?
Also, am I just fucked? What happens when my female ruler dies? Does the AI just get my portugal and boot me out? game over?
>>2214861Don’t go into the mountains in winter. Simple as.
can i win this
>>2214868no, you will get a personal union, this is not CK
I'm straight up not having a good time
>>2214861>seriously fix this fucking malware trash of a game>*keeps playing*
>>2214869the game should prevent you from doing that but it doesn't
>france and england have massive rebellions>the markets get all fuckedtoday i learned to always make your own market
>>2214868You’re playing the country, not the dynasty. You’ll join a PU, but it’s not as serious as EU4. This is actually good for you because you can become the senior partner as Castile and dominate Portugal over time. Think of it how England and Scotland became united by a Scottish king but England still dominated the union and eventually annexed Scotland into a new entity.
I'm getting conflicting reports on the AI. Is this game good or not?Is the AI a challenge or not? does anything happen?
>>2214868If you're powerful enough, getting into a PU is actually a good thing in this game.
>>2214870You're doing great, you can definitely win. Maybe an ally or two would help.Bohemia's been bipolar with my alliance but with Aragon and Castile I've been starting to chip at France. I'm going more for a North Sea Empire in this run
>>2214880the game is good but the AI is badparadox has never made a game with good AI
>>2214880My understanding is that the AI still sucks at expanding as we imagine they should but became a bit more aggressive with the patch—still not good. The AI is okay to decent at building up their countries. The war AI doesn’t seem much different from EU4.
>>2214877having your own market on your capital is just a free money machine
i have 14% crown power
bytom, also known as zimbabwe of europe
Well aint that just grand. If I knew this earlier I would have kept a OPM vassal from genoese land I conquered to get rennaisance and pro army way faster.
>>2214875>the game should save me from my own bad decisionsI’m sorry anon, but you will suffer.
>>2214863the normans ruined england; the tudors killed it
>>2214885Is this because paradox is lazy or because making a good ai is genuinely hard. I dont know anything about coding.
>>2214890yeah seems so. i should have made one before it cost me 1600 gold, i could have spent that on killing the french
why am i constantly losing fucking money man
>>2214884i'm just worried about running out of time, it's already 1400i should have restarted my game when i realized taking paris is a bad idea and i should have just focused on stealing his subjects
Is there any point to manually doing trade unless you are playing a trade nation
>>2214906doesn't the game tell you
>>2214901Making good AI gets harder the more complex you make a game. EU3 imo has better AI than EU4 or EU5 but its only because the game is much more simple so there are fewer ways for the player to get ahead.
>>2214901i am guessing that the AI is programmed as a number of mostly-independent systems (e.g. diplomacy, warfare, and cabinet appointments are probably all handled completely independently of each other) which greatly simplifies things but also makes it way worse at long-term planningconsidering the sheer size of the game and the number of individual countries there is only so much you can make the AI think about before it rapes even the strongest CPU into submission, so there's definitely a tradeoff between AI capability and performance
EU5 is the spiritual successor to EU3.
>>2214901It's because it costs money so they keep recycling the same shitty AI forever
>>2214900Don’t you dare talk shit about Her Majesty Elizabeth, by the grace of God, Queen of England, Ireland, and France, Defender of the Faith, etc. If you persist, your hand shall be severed from its body according to the law.
>>2214916based
paradox has a full plate of bugs to deal withmeanwhile i'm too focused on playing something else to pirate this thing right nowso all is good for methey can take a whole year of patching for all i care
>>2214914feels like it has very little in common with EU3.
>>2214916she replaced the last good monarch england had
>>2214909Sometimes you'll bottleneck on certain critical resources and jam up your economyBy default, the game only prioritizes based on a mix of needs/price, so it doesn't notice that your lumber mills have been halted for literally 100 years because of a tools shortage
>>2214907It looks like it doesn't end until the Age of Reformation which doesn't begin until 1537 it seems. So the hundred years war can go on for two hundred years?
>>2214926oh shit ok, i got another 137 years
Okay, so in a war against Norway, I forced them to move their market to me (Denmark) but since I was already in the Lübeck market, it just created a new market entirely with me and the entirety of Norway in it. Normally this wouldn't be so bad, but the market location is absolutely fucking terrible. Can I spend gold create a new market in Copenhagen and it'll move everything to the new market or will I end up with two borked markets?
why do i mald so much whenever something ahistorical happens? I know if it was railroaded then it'd be boring, but I also just fucking hate seeing france totally conquer england and convert everyone to french
HOW THE FUCK DO I MAKE MONEY
how do i check which focus i picked for the age? i think i picked admin but i forgot
>>2214924>she replaced the last good monarch engl-ACK
finally managed to cut Münster down to size after the Emperor Landfriede'd my previous war where England somehow joined their side1500 and not even finished 1/3 discovery tech trees, decentralized peasants are retarded but hard workersbehind on exploring too but the plan is to go for the Caribbean
>>2214935depends on your country, RGOs, market etc
>>2214934France is the new ottoblob. You have to join forces with everyone else to stop them.
>>2214885The Gotterdammerung dlc for HOI4 was one of the few examples of Paradox making the AI better
What's the best way to deal with the black death?
my run is doomed i am auto buying a loan every 2 months
>>2214935phase 1 is to expand RGOs and marketplaces
>>2214949Close your eyes and let it happen.
>>2214945historically accurate
>>2214949you can use the isolation thing to get some disease resistance or you can rush build a hospital in your capitalcan't do much more than that i think
>>2214953not really, france only started blobbing at the end of the campaign in reality otherwise it was a slow slog to the east
>>2214934>ruler lives too long>future historical ruler dies too soon>his brother takes the throne instead>seethe quietly
>>2214935Build burghers buildings, make burghers happy, tax burghers.
>>2214956Diplomacy throughout the 1500s on was centered around containing France and the Habsburgs. Countries switched back and forth depending on which seemed like the more serious threat.
>>2214934Cognitive dissonance,I go "OOOOOO" when I see the AI form something I like, like ScandinaviaI cringe when Russia is entirely owned by the Ottomans
How do I get more POPs for working my buildings in rural settlements? Spamming villages?
>had to deathwar naples, hungary and provence alone while allies abandon me>winning, provence btfo and hungary being sieged>tiny county olm in malta that somehow joined my italian league at one point declares on the pope and forces me to come along>suddenly at war with the pope, austria and german states>had to peace out my other war taking only piedmont and calabriafuck the pope, I helped this piece of shit the entire campaign and he backstabs me like thisI'm taking Roma this war and ending this farce, and converting to lutheranism afterwards
>>2214826Yeah it's pissing me off since I have to rely on the Russians to supply it and they keep killing each other and disrupting the supply. North America can't come soon enough.
Romabros... we wuz?
>>2214962I guess villages and pop promotion speed, but the education buildings for pop promotion are built in towns and cities. So you just have to wait for pops to promote on their own, or maybe promoted pops migrate in
>>2214960yeah and you just dont have it in the game right now. like france can take half of the netherlands without a huge coalition forming immediately. antagonism needs a buff
This building is so OP. Probably the best possible generic town/city building.
Rural smelter is terminally underrated, no one has mentioned it yet. It's probably hands down the best early game rural building.
>>2214982I've been using parliament to build them.
>>2214982it's also focken expensive though, probably only worth it in your best towns early on
For me, it's Tailor's Guild

You wanna know how all those powerful banking families went away?Well it's simple, take on a bunch of loans and then default on payment.
>>2215009I do think that long term we will need to diversify because if we end up flooding the market the prices will go down, but for now I'm just pumping out Tailor's Guilds. It's like printing money at this point
>>2215019That is antisemetic
>>2215011how?
I really hope you guys realized that Marketplaces are a huge noob trap and you need to spam Trade Offices and Overseas Trading Posts everywhere.
>no notification when AI joins a warWTF, was about to peace out when I noticed my score was down to 25 because Milan joined mid-war
>>2215026Do these help with institution spread also?
>>2215025click an army > formationI highly recommend you just watch this video (skip to the army composition part) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiFufnxIugUtldr:levies go up front, regulars in reserves. levies have high frontage, but low initiative and morale damage. this means you dont want them sitting in reserves watching your hardened regulars getting butchered. they also lack initiative, so they wont reinforce the front. put them up front as meat shields to take the bad damage, and the regulars in the back (with lower frontage, but more initiative) will reinforce quicker.
>>2215026dont you want burger trade capacity?
shit's gonna be lit, but how do I get rid of the trash artists?
>>2215028Only Trade Offices because Maritime Presence.>>2215032I will asterisk my post with this: Build more Marketplaces if you have 0 ports or the majority of your country is inland.

>be Irish shithole with 50k pop and 270 levy>Scotland declares war on me>literally nothing happensamazing AI, can't even cross a sea to invade lmao
>>2215081yes
okay so it turns out you should NOT let your legitimacy go below 50 or you risk a succession crisis
always use this map mode while at war thank me later
>>2215050Just keep playing and keep track of the new fuckups you'll make.
>>2215086this + microing your army formations = combat is fun again
>>2215031we need a button to move all levys to front and regulars to rear
>>2215089>>2215086also always consolidate your levies so your army can actually use the frontage efficientlymake sure you dont accidentally consolidate your actual regiments though because you are going to lose out on regimetns
>>2215093>make sure you dont accidentally consolidate your actual regiments though because you are going to lose out on regimetnshow so?
>>2215090yes. its tedious as hell
>>2215082Invading Ireland as Scotland is legitimately difficult logically though because Scotland has a big army and basically no boats. Microing to get the army over is particular. No excuse for the AI though
>>2215093>>2215094nevermind you only need to shift click it instead of detaching your levies firstit's the button on the left of the army screen, between splitting your army in half and detaching siege
can i see my credit limit somehow? can't really tell how much debt i'm allowed to sit in
>>2215098>logicallyMeant logistically*
>>2215099wait, wat? What does shift clicking do?
how did they fuck up this badly
how do you start a bank?
Do you reckon it's better to display vassals with the exact same colour as their overlords? It does make for a cleaner map but I don't know if I'm going to have readability issues later on.

>>2215098I guess that must be it, still weird. They even had land in Ireland but so little control that their levies were insignificant

>france is naval hegemon!>weird, i have three times the navy of them and btfo them every time>check requirements>you must be a great powerAh.My navy dwarfs them but they get all the benefits of being the hegemon because they are a great power and im not
>>2215107it keeps your regular regiments around with 0 men like in eu4 so you can reinforce it later
>>2215107I think it consolides without destroying the now empty regiment

Paradox's top guy
>>2215186your not at war, first things first, turn all the military sliders down. you can raise them back up during war.
>>2215187Ziggers get the rope.
>>2215187You mean Zelensky's top guy, right?He is winning the real war for Ukraine
>>2215189Okay good point. Turned army and forts as far down as they go. Left navy up for patrolls. I'm green now, but with the amount of shit I built I expected to be making a lot more.
AI decided to ignore ZOCTo be fair I managed to do it as well sometimes when following a retreating army after a battle
>>2215187It's "the Ukraine" and "Kiev" but fuck ziggers all the same.
>>2215187this guy seems so easily trollable, I wonder when he is going to get a clique that just fucks with him
>>2215187I am ENFORMEDI am EUPHORICThis guy needs a life outside of map painting
>>2215202It hasn't been "the Ukraine" for almost 40 years, anon. What are you holding onto if you're not a zigger?
>>2215031You have misunderstood something. Man for man levies have lowest frontage so you need whole 1000 guys to occupy 1 frontage while regular footmen only need 100. Both have 1 combat power per head. Let's say on 2 frontage wide battle you would then have 2000 levy guys (total 2000 power) fighting 200 footmen (200 power). Let's say you have 1000 levy guys die in the front which frees 1 front space, would you rather bring 100 reg. footmen (100 power), or 50 reg. horsemen (200 power) or 500 levy mailed knights (2000 power). It also means if you have trouble filling out the whole frontage in a wide terrain, to help with flanking, regulars will do it easier man-for-man. For reinforcement speed your point still stands.In later games regular regiment manpower goes up which is main reason why they get better, along with minor stat bonuses.
wouldn't you ideally build cities and towns in food RGOs so you can get the irrigation bonus on your food RGO bonus?
its the fucking renaissance why are there no good artists
>>2215026you definitely prio marketplaces to cap in your home marketoffices and posts give a fraction of the trade capacity for the same cost, they're just a money dump once you've built all the good stuff home
>>2215184Does anyone know what could be causing this? I clearly have a huge expense that's not listed on the balance sheet.
>>2215187he is seething here>YOU WILL DIE>YOU ARE NOT HUMAN>YOU WILL BECOME FOOD FOR SUNFLOWERS>YOUR NATION IS OVER

>>2215186Low crown power and (as a result) low maximum taxes. Your burghers are happy enough that you could be getting 30+ ducats out of them. Look at your modifiers and try to get higher burgher/estate tax.For crown power you should always be at 100 legitimacy, it's expensive to get there but once you're at max the cost becomes almost nothing.

That's all I personally have used and find helpful.
