eu4 is still better
eu5 is the best game they ever made
EU5 moment

What is the coolest tag you've ever seen?
Can exploration missions be canceled midway through if they get too expensive?
why the fuck is my army stuck hereI can only move to the fortI'm literally losing the war only because of this
>>2215349EU5 moment
>>2215345>manafagOpinion invalidated
God help me to become a great power
>>2215357forts block army movement
how do i stop my game from automatically unpausing when i click an event
>>2215349VGH....
Any loverslab mods for eu5 yet?
England switched to Latin at the beginning of the game and they have been Anglia ever since.
>>2215361the thirteen stack on the left is able to move to plzen and back though
Thoughts on incest?
>>2215358
>>2215357>>2215361>>2215367Forts do not block movementYou cannot move into or out of mountain provinces during winter
>fastforward 100 years until I can finally start making colonies >it's even slower than EU4>all the great powers are competing with meWhen I reach Asia and start bullying the natives it's finally going to get fun... right?
>>2215371>hard isnt funGet out of here
>>2215368Healthy method of sibling bonding
>>2215370there are only hills there. the 12 men levy on the left is easily able to move into that occupied province and back, it's only my main army that is stuck for some reason
Sometimes money just disappears from my treasury. Why?
what's the easiest formable? ryukyu or gilan?
Maya game's over.For some reason when I reformed into feudalism I lost literally 90% of my levies and I don't have enough money or manpower for a full standing army yet.Would have been fine if I wasn't jumped with court and country and 90% of my provinces flipping to the nobles despite them being crippled as an estateFuck you, paradox.I think if I did another maya run again I'd have scaled way, way harder.
Why it isn't deactivated by default?
>>2215378Look at the province to the right of the enemy army - there's a no movement icon on itHover over it and it will tell you why
>>2215366baaaaaaaaaaaaaased and traaaaaaadpiled
french AI retarf moment
>>2215390they'll win.
>>2215390historically accurate
>>2215379Sorry, a new figure just came up for preorder
here come the fuggers
Do you agree?
>>2215398Where is the option to switch to them? Does a gamerule turn it off?
>>2215390napoopan
>>2215390By historical France standards this is actually rather tame
>>2215379You probably have something set to automate and the AI is buying stuff (probably buildings or goods). There should be sliders to limit how much they can spend.
>>2215368>>>/vt/pcg
>>2215399No. Because this game is good and does a bunch of things very well, unlike gta. It also is very fun and accurate, unlike gta which was funded to promote ghetto trash.
>>2215403Does trade automation take directly from your treasury? I assumed it went on the balance sheet.
ok so if you hold control and right click it moves all of the same type to reservesless clicks to all move your regulars
>>2215412Fucking godsend.
>>2215412do you know if artillery goes in the reserve only?
I've basically not researched any military tech except for the production buildings.What is supposed to be good? Tactics? New unit? New levies?
>>2215416Tactics is OP in other Paradox games so it's probably OP in this one as well.You want artillery for sure.
Cultural Hegemon gets a special cabinet action to assimilate an entire area. I used this to destroy Emilian culture in 30 years or so.
>a new paradox game is fun>it's fun on fucking release day to bootWhere's the Johan Apology Form?
>call crusade for the holy land>most countries can't figure out how to get troops there so we're fighting at only a fraction of our capacityhow do I help the retarded AI of castile move its stack of 34k troops to the holy land
>>2215421nice culturevery thick
half of the french army is fucking around in bavaria/alps thanks to austria
>>2215409I don’t think it does unless you have bad trades. But that effects your income per month, not taking money out of the treasury like it’s buying stuff.
>>221543110 years of development and they still haven't improved any of the AI pitfalls of EU4
the reform is way too strongonly 20 years in every single catholic area even far away corners near the middle east and spain have 10-30% lutheran minorities everywhere
>>2215426Thats pretty much the reason byzantium god wrecked by a crusade instead of the muslims
>>2215416Artillery is very useful for sieges, less so in combat early on. For most countries, standing armies aren't really useful until the mid to late 1400s so before then you should focus on levies if available.
But what makes a valid location AAAAAHHHHHHHH
Is there a loading screens mod yet?Look at this woke piece of shit
>>2215434My income is very high but I don't gain all of it every month, which suggests the AI is spending some on the first of every month, and I periodically have small sums of money disappear from my treasury. I disabled building automation and that didn't fix it.Could it be subsidized buildings, or closing/opening buildings?
>>2215442hover over it
>>2215442click the location you want to create a market ingo to the top where it shows market access %right click to create a marketif you can't it's probably because you have a market access preference treaty with someone nearby
>>2215443actual schizo post
>>2215349where to fuck is the hegemons tab
Reminder to enable debug mode and turn off skipframerender.
>>2215445Fucking hell turns out you have to hover over the text to the left of that mouse icon instead of the red bar with the X for this one specific tooltip. Completely threw me off.
>>2215454diplomacy -> relations
yeah i think im state bank maxxing from now on
>>2215382>>2215455Whats it do?
>>2215457Oh I see, the hegemons just haven't been declared yet
>>2215317Nope DESU.
>coalition declares on me, big manpower disadvantage>put subjects on supportive focus, might win war if we concentrate our armies>subjects decide to abandon my main stack in my lands favour of sending their 2k stacks on half morale into 10k enemy stacks on full morale in enemy territory and all get wiped out instantly
>>2215459can a non BBC create a state bank? how???
Woah is there a bug that gives you -60 stability or something?I don't remember doing anything to fuck my stability over
>>2215459how do I obtain a state bank?
>>2215467Why did it have to be called 'BBC'
>>2215466don't worry, your AI enemies will do the same thing
>>2215468Did you go bankrupt?
based based based
the cycle of deleting my saves after discovering a new game ending mechanic continues
>>2215463Makes the game fast by not rendering ticks at 5 speed.
>>2215475>blobbing is ha-
>wind up in a Union with Austria playing as Denmark>take over seniority because austria is a shithole rank xxxth power>austria becomes emporer and gets 2nd rank GP and can take seniorityI'm confused. if Austria and I share the same ruler and he's the emperor of the HRE isn't my nation also emperor of the HRE
>>2215475show control map
>>2215474No. I'm pretty sure it happened after I loaded the game back up (I was just doing my laundry)I didn't do anything right before I left and now I just got back and noticed it.Reloading an auto save from 5 days prior shows 40 stab (which is what I remembered having) so I'm pretty sure this is a bug
>>2215443>this is what blacks were doing while europeans conquered the americas
>>2215479>>2215482It's just languages you silly billies
>>2215475Scotland always choose the ahistoric celtic larp and it’s so cringe.
>>2215467>>2215470You can ask one of the existing banks to become your state banks. Never got any of them even close to accepting tho.
Has anyone tried flipping zoroastrian yet?
Should i do colonial subjects or integrate?Playing as norway 1543.
>>2215443kek
>>2215481No lol, even though they added so many ruler mechanics. HRE emperorship is decided exclusively by country, the only thing the character who is emperor influences is that when he dies there's an election.
>>2215482as other anon said already is court language map not politicalbut ill appease you anyway
>>2215443Guy on the left has a really weird arm
>>2215492I see, that's a bit silly then, but I suppose I'm just applying EU4 logic to how it works.
can you actually world conquest here? otherwise i'm not playing
>declare war on the prince bishop of cologne>unity of faith event fires the next momentyeah I'm uniting the faith under the primas germaniae>>2215470find a bank, do diplomacy
>>2215481Think of it as being the spirit of a nation rather than being the ruler of a nation like you'd be in Crusader Kings. You are playing as Denmark itself not as the ruler of it per se.
>>2215493more control in a women's football game
>>2215349The game really makes you notice how much of Europe's history revolved around supresing Frogland and how lucky minor political entities (specially italian and german oned) got with the Jawbsburgs' early dynastic success (because now you got the french and the austrians+spanish at each other's throats instead of the BBB just expanding at will with no equivalent force to face it)
>>2215497No lmao
Anyone succeeded in uniting Ireland yet?
>>2215497Yes but I believe it's lot more tedius than the 4 version, lot more clicking
Why does the map look like shit
>>2214058Is the game actually worth getting right now or all the normies just glazing it like they did with ck3?
>>2215503>the BBB just expanding at will with no equivalent force to face itAnd I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”
so most countries will simply not send troops to fight in a crusade?love that this problem that's been fixed repeatedly in past paradox games is still present in every new release on launch day
>>2215497yes easily.
I still don't get how maritime presence affects control.>>2215520It's decent but you should pirate it, and this shit is pretty buggy at the moment so be prepared for that.
>>2215466You should have set to supportive for your side not theirs
>>2215525sex
>>2215520Jury is out, it's definitely being glazed but I'm hearing complaints that seem quite drastic tbqhSpecifically about AI, inability to perform basic actions (like acquiring casus belli), lack of transparency of mechanics, and what might be bugs or might be bad design relating to all the above when it comes to stuff like control, annexation and PUsIs it ignorant complaints? Is it people glazing over a fundamentally flawed game? Is it both? I'm waiting to see regardless
>>2215525BBL (Big Blue Lips)
>>2215520I'm having a lot of fun with it, I enjoyed CK - Vic - and EU, and this game takes a lot from all three. If you can tolerate some bugs and jank it's fun in my opinion, maybe wait a month to buy. Pirate or buy, I think this will eventually be Johan's redemption after the imperator fiasco
Inputting GameStateTick.RenderFrameIfNeeded in console makes a month pass in 3 seconds
>>2215536Chat is this true?
How do you actually flip religion to a different group btw?
>>2215520The game is a startlingly good base. The only things I think are pretty bad right now are the proximity calculations, which directly play into control. No AI nation will basically ever form a large nation because right now it is effectively literally impossible, proximity can't be re-transmitted over coastal tiles and proximity is pretty drastically bad at game start.If Paradox makes it so proximity can be sent over sea tiles properly and not just a gradual tick-up then I think it will solve a huge amount of the problems. But right now the game is basically vassal simulator.
can you change dynasty names? z lucembursko looks weird
Didn't notice the new thread, also asking here >>2215543
>>2215556automate trade
>>2215556automate balance and trade
>>2215556if you want training wheels on, until you figure out how it works
>food price exploded to 15x the previousYeah, change of plans, I don't want my own market anymore.
I wish the boats sailed around when they did their project control action
>>2215548Don't you need like 40% of your pops of said religion?
>>2215556trade 100%You can also automate buildings if you want. Your economy won't explode if you ignore them though
>>2215564True, I thought my navy was broken when I started playing. I want them to move around like protecting trade in EU4.
Dumbass Scotland declared war on me again but isn't doing anything lmao. Broken game, imagine paying for this.
>>2215558>>2215559Nta how's trade automation even work, looking at my trade sheet every month is wasn't doing the most profitable trades
>>2215562are you playing in Italy?that's what happened to me, I haven't been able to solve it even after destroying both Genoa and Venice and adding other larger agricultural nations to the market
>>2215565Yeah, but how do you actually make that happen?
>ottomans became orthodox
>>2215571its fulfilling needs
>>2215584>religion: Orthodox>liturgical language: Arabickek
>>2215578Yup. Florence.Decided to ditch Genoa and oh boy. Guess I'm saddled with them because holy shit, there's no way in hell I'm reaching a "basically free" food price of 0.01. Because I don't see myself going self-sustainable with those RGOs, ever.
>>2215571The basics of trade are very easy to do actually. You should leave it automated so the AI can fill the gaps, but all you need to know for the basics is flip through the tabs and decide whether you want max profit or import shit your people need. Click on a trade you want to do and it appears at the top in current trades. Make sure they’re locked with the left button on the trade. Let it go and come back later. If it ends, AI will fill it with something so you don’t miss out on using your trade capacity. If it becomes an unprofitable trade, end it and pick a different one.
>>2215589Turks practicing a Greek religion in Arabic.
>>2215358these fuckers are next to me and they are annoyingly rich due to their market that i want but cant get access to. Probably because im not seeing the market leader?
Can I ask about how to fix the Inefficient Mining thing?
>>2215588Its only exporting cloth for 1.5 and not importing say gold for 3
>>2215503I just hope that Paradox addresses this by adding a proper balance of power mechanic so that France's neighbors align together, rather than just artificially nerfing France (which is what they did in EU4), as that would also translate into a nice challenge for players once you consolidate and start outscaling the AI. Antagonism is a poor check on expansion and easy to game, especially since countries no longer have that absurd base 10k manpower floor which made fighting a coalition of HRE minors a death sentence.
>>2215598Inefficient minting?Conquer or trade for precious metals and mercury
>>2215599>exporting precious metals
is anyone else having an issue of their estates being broke? they're spending way too much on goods. i'm not sure if i should make them cheaper or just say fuck em
>>2215593That UI is really shit because sometimes every single trade it shows is not possible because of low trade advantage.
>>2215592All the food is in the North, you'll have to conquer Lombardy and max out the RGOs + build windmills and irrigation. If you want to go all in do forest villages and fishing villages, and build farming villages on your livestock and wheat provinces.
>>2215605I said importing gold. I was playing holland
>>2215603I let the AI handle my trading desuIs it possible to manually trade for it? Does the AI just not consider it? I'm losing out on around 4 gold via the inefficient minting so it might be worthwhile to trade for it but I've honestly just been ignoring trade because it made my head hurt.I could definitely try to conquer a gold RGO but it will be a long term goal from my current position in Naples
I'm overwhelmed. What do I do first?
>>2215549>proximity can't be re-transmitted over coastal tilesunless I did not understand you, coastal ties absolutely relay control
>>2215382it can fuck with your cpu and cause some frame drops
>>2214725>now some ethiopian guy is regent. no idea how he even got hereThat's because the people at Paradox are massive retards who think the Armenian Orthodox Church and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church are the same thing just because both of those are Miaphysites, thus you probably got some advisors from Ethiopia in your court, when in reality the Ethiopia of that time was basically disconnected from the rest of the Christendom.
>>2215594We truly dodged a bullet there. I wonder if modern turks would still larp as stepniggas in that timeline or instead start wewuzing as TRVE romans.
>>2215475How the did Hungarians, Prussians, old Saxons and Livonians end up speaking Latin?
>>2215615>1356would have been a better start tbqhwyd
>>2215594Sovl
>>2215608They're perpetually bankrupt for me too.Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understand it, the estates get an uneven slice of all the money for selling the things they've produced to the market, then get taxed, THEN have to buy all this shit back for their pop needs. At this point I have no idea how they would ever end up in the green.
>>2215623Bruh they called themselves Rûmi in our timeline.
>>2215599In my experience, those gold trades end up being very unstable and never actually go through. Not 100% sure how it works but I think it's just local countries in those markets with much higher trade advantage who want the gold for minting. Probably the UI should be updated to account for this, as it happens with other resources too (but not as often).
>>2215618Proximity translates over sea zones, but does not RE-transmit. If you got 100 proximity in Plymouth and had a province right next to it, inland, that was 0 proximity, that 0 proximity province would receive no proximity from Plymouth.
>>2215455I have debug mode on. Where do I turn that off?
>>2215608It's a good thing honestly. The occasional library or road isn't worth all the bad buildings rich estate build.
>>2215600I mean France should be nerfed somewhat. There's a reason they only actually managed to effectively project power with absolutism and centralisation. France in EU5 can just shrug off anything.
>>2215628>Hungariansno idea>Prussians and Livoniansconquered by crusaders>old SaxonsPrince Bishopric of Munster + Abbey of Brema
>>2215644if your treasury goes negative while the estates are broke you are forced to declare bankruptcy because there aren't any loans available
>>2215633I know, but nowadays their larp is about being 100% steppe blooded people, that and saying that all steppeniggas under the sun were ach-tually turkish.
>>2215622Well, it's still a bit early but Ethiopians reconnected somehow with the rest ot Christendom in the 1400s. See for example the correspondence between some Ethiopian ruler and the Aragonese King and the presence of an Ethiopian delegation at the council of Basel-Florence.
>>2215612>Is it possible to manually trade for it?Yes, and you can partially automate your trades to give you capacity for critical trades using this slider (you get one for each market).>Does the AI just not consider it? AFAIK, the only things the AI prioritizes for trades is trade income and pop needs fulfillment. Second order effects like minting inefficiency aren't consideredI am completely chatting shit though.
>>2215641literally unplayable
>>2215650nobles and lack of centralisation mostly held france back in the early stages
>>2215657I don't think central Asian Turks actually give a shit about them do they?
>>2215641it does for me
>>2215650>There's a reason they only actually managed to effectively project power with absolutism and centralisationThe reason was being kept in check by their Habsburg rivals first and the eternal anglo later on.
Opinion on Albania and other south slavs?
>>2215341gonna ask again cause none of us noobs knew last thread, but why is my city still at 0 proximity when its connected to my road network? are the jews involved?
1474, really happy with how things look like at the moment. western europe dominated by me, von Luxemburgs on throne of HRE, russians kicking horde's teeth. only sad case is of the ottomans, they converted to orthodox then hibernated since then
>>2215641>>2215669
there's an event causing -75% satisfaction and I have literally no fucking idea what the event was, when it happened, or when it ends because the UI is so shit
>>2215655So I presume the mere fact that the official language of Catholic Ecclesiastical states is Latin is enough for the AI/Game to treat it as if it was a living language capable of spreading to peasants and laborers like German, French, etc?
>>2215680i fucking laughedits so bad its funny
>>2215674not zero prox cause bailiff but why isnt my road network to wein giving a bonus too?
>>2215674bailiff overriding proximity from capital?
>>2215675Nice map anon, was england fun?
>>2215628Hungary starts like that, I remember it from one of the Tinto talks.
>>2215675portugal is obliterated in this game every fucking time
>>2215671I'd argue internal strife did more than either, Burgundians fucked over the crown more than the Anglo's managed, wars of religion kept them in a state of at the very least civil war for a large part of the 16th... France really hasn't changed in 700 hundred years fuck me.
Remember that OP unit type in EU4? It's them now.
>>2215693really is the opposite of EU4 where they just sit around chilling committing colonial crimes the whole game
>>2215694In the game every one of their subjects is 100% loyal because decentralization does that.
>>2215650>There's a reason they only actually managed to effectively project power with absolutism and centralisationThey were enemies with virtually every other European power and still managed to consolidate French land (contested by England and the Hapsburgs), build a pretty sizable colonial empire, and on occasion project a good amount of power into Italy and Germany. I do agree that the lack of centralization should be a problem relative to other powers at game start (which it actually is, as France actually has some fairly significant debuffs relating to noble power etc.), but the number one priority of every Western European state from 1453-1814 was to contain France—and France still managed to expand.
>>2215693Not in my run. It's almost 1400 and Portugal is even a bit larger in the south having taken some border provinces from Castille some 40 years ago.
>>2215693Castile absolutely DEPISES portugal and loves granada/morroco for some reason.
>decades of peace and prosperity for bohemia>hussites pop up
do not goon
>>2215684its court language, not popular language. here, have a dialect map>>2215691Hundred Years War is absolutely kino from Englands perspective because of how complex wars get during every phase. only thing I did not have fun with was forcing PU on France, as math just does not math and I had to game'ify my armies to have enough warscore to actually enforce it.im pretty much set and i only just begin colonising>>2215693yeah and they always leave Granada for some reason. France also gets a weird hard on for Aragon.
>>2215628>>2215684It's the court language mapmode, so the peasants are still speaking their vulgar languages while the high nobles are getting in on the Latin at court
>>2215366>Latin England>Italian Spain>German DenmarkHow does this happen?
>>2215710>decades of peace and prosperity for Germany proper>lutherans and calvinists pop up>30 years war
>What kind of events should we give to the strongest nation in the game?>How about free 2000 ducats for free?
>>2215713Fucking forest Swedes and coastal Finns every time.
How do I spread proximity across the sea? Specifically the Mediterranean.
Are there any modifiers like -morale hit on naval loss in EU4 where they play into the systems so well it makes them broken?
>>2215717>Latinno idea, seems very random but AI may be skewed given how much language power latin has early game>Italian Spaingiven anon plays in Italy, he became cultural hegemon and enforced court language on foreign thrones. i did the same thing earlier >>2215475>German Denmarkmay have a german ruler on throne>>2215724Maritime Presence. build ships, send them on partols, watch the presence rise. it lowers cost of moving prox through water. after that, there is also port entry / exit, but I am still not sure how to effectively lower it
In my next run I'll play Bavaria, Flanders/Brabant or Bohemia and become the largest producer of beer in the world.
this shit got me holding my pee
>>2215668They do not, no. If anything they mostly find them annoying.
>>2215637Im more generally curious how trade works in general, where's the money in the trade come from? As aren't most trades just filling up the local stockpile? Are you selling it at the good cost into the market stockpile? How is the base price of a good related to the income you get for the trade?
>>2215731how did you get that cool flag
>>2215735own and core paris (this i am sure), or win hundred years war and it will get reduced to three fleurs later down the line.
How would you unite Silesia?
>>2215736also johan cooked up some nice flags for englandhttps://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/tinto-flags-2-13th-october-great-britain-ireland.1862530/
>>2215729>Maritime Presence. build ships, send them on partols, watch the presence rise. it lowers cost of moving prox through water. after that, there is also port entry / exit, but I am still not sure how to effectively lower itDoes building ports matter? I've conquered Alexandria and most of Palestine and I'm trying to decide if I can get away with integrating them or if I'll have to make them vassals.
>>2215680could also be multiple -15% events stacking on top of eachother
>>2215720>arrest leading merchant and nationalize all of his property>bourgeoisie gain satisfactionbravo Johan
>>2215741yes everything that raises harbor capacity lowers proximity cost, both in departure point and destinationnatural harbors also help
Is there any way to get rid of the negative buildings that estates build?
>>2215741unless i miss any further research and dont see the buildings, there are just these two building-wise and, desu, its not really effective. one caravel does the same shit and you still get the ship, stack then of them you see how it goes
>>2215745His competition approves.
>>2215748Go into the province and delete them
Any good map mods yet?
You better pay your fucking debt.
>>2215748you can just delete them but it costs estate loyalty
>conquered a bunch of provinces of different culture/religion but your cabinet is too busy?>just make 1 province vassals with your religion and culture that border them (so the vassals have the same r/c) and saddle each with a conquered province>they'll convert, assimilate and develop it to your culture and religion on their own>you could saddle each with more than 1 province too if you want, but each get 2 cabinet actions>you can annex them whenever you please>because of how the diplo cap scales, you can have dozens of these things, as many as your economy can supportWhat's the catch?
>>2215749forgot screenshot>>2215747and yeah this anon is right i forgot harbor capacity also directly increases maritime pres
>>2215756cheesing the game makes it a little less fun
>>2215756Congrats, you discovered feudalism
average income of a great power in the 1430s? i got around 220 gold a month as spain
My peasants seething about minor Anatolian and Caucasian tribes is funny to me
>>2215756>What's the catch?They have stupid names and you can't customize them.
funny how your levy size as england goes from 85k to 20k after the black death
>>2215756or you could just make them from the state you want them to convert, force culture on them since loyalty doesnt matter and the whole thing goes even faster since it scales with control
>>2215756enjoy -50 relations after first annex, you wont be able to annex them after third unless you wait for the negative to decay. also, the more subjects of the same type you have, the worse because their military power stacks against you directly. you want to split subjects, have some fiefdoms, dominions, vassals etc
>>2215763>'ate turks>never seen a turk just dun like em
>>2215751>>2215755Straight up deleting them is inefficient, when you call parliament you may get one estate asking you to delete the negative buildings of another estate for bonus satisfaction + parliament approval
holy based my clergy built a bridge
>>2215768>unless you wait for the negative to decay.Have you seen how long the game is? We have nothing but time here.
>>2215675I like how this looks, you've convinced me to turn on vassal colors with no blend
>>2215753UPDATE: They died after facing a proper army.
how the fuck do roads workis it an actual pathing system that excludes other routes, or can you build a road in every province and connects to all neighboring roads?

genuine question, how much do you guys understand the micro of the nation you're playing? Just started my campaign as England and I feel like I'll need to spend a few hours just researching my economy to make the right choices for the hundreds of locations economically speaking.I really like the game but I feel completely out of my depth on the economy (I'm not automating anything cos I'm not an NPC). I didn't play Vic either, only eu3
>>2215823You tell me this after I just spent 2k converting coastal provinces to towns for more sailors
>>2215824>(I'm not automating anything cos I'm not an NPC).then you'll be playing on 1 speed the entire timeand thats okay because thats what i do
Believable worlds
>>2215824I basically ignore everything outside of my capital and surrounding cities with the exception of occasionally upgrading RGOs
Just found a bug where if you get some guy to integrate a province and then change the target of integration to another province through the outliner(right click) you can integrate several provinces at once. When he finishes integrating one he stops doing the other ones too, but the integration progress remains. Do with this information whatever you will.
>>2215830>then you'll be playing on 1 speed the entire timeI am OK with this. 500 years of history should take an epically long time. >>2215832Yeah I want to take that approach but I feel like I'm ignoring the other cities which is suboptimal
>>2215831That picture is hilarious the fuck are the choirboys doing? Is that a Rabbi? The Inquisitor looks to have given up.
>>2215826It's only 0.1% so not that much, cheap food and land availability can offset it easily.But the idea is don't convert locations to towns unless they already have a decently high population.
>>2215835>I feel like I'm ignoring the other cities which is suboptimalIt's not, if you can't extract money from it then there's no point in investing in it. The optimal play is to instead of ignoring them straight up releasing a vassal.The far off cities only start to matter once you get the means to spead your control there.
>>2215824I just started as England too and I don't think it's that complicated>see I've got a massive surplus of wool and its worth nothing in London market>export as much as I can to Dutchia where they're paying premium and start building a spinner's guild in London to use the rest on making clothes or some shitAnd then I'll see what's what in a year
>>2215823>>building towns cuts your pop growth massively because only rural pops fuck apparentlymedieval cities were such disease and crime ridden hellscapes that their populations only grew because of immigration from the countryside until the 1800s

>>2215824>I'm not automating anything cos I'm not an NPC)Some things are necessary to automate or you’re just doing it wrong and being inefficient. Like your taxes on estates. Click the automate next to the sliders and it will always taxes the most it can without upsetting them. Otherwise you are being inefficient. Just go unautomate a slider when a special need arises to tax more or less. Trade should also be automated so that if a trade ends and you’re not paying attention to that screen, the AI will replace it with something so you’re not wasting your trade capacity.

>>2215943So look at their highest value thing, see if i can produce it, and then produce a bunch of that thing?
This game needs lucky nations. It was the driving force behind EU3 and EU4 having at least mildly believable worlds and they decided to scrap it just because of memes.

>>2216203majapahit, form malaya
>>2216203>a Japanese BBCpick the emperor
>>2216203>BBCkys faggot its BBN for all the non cuck tranny libtards
>>2216203>>2216207BBC's in japan are so overrated
>Playing Bongland>win the first part of the 100 years war>everyone hates me now>they have formed a coalition wtf? What am I meant to do in this war if not take land?
>>2216036>>2216069Picrel for referenceBut I do think they should restrict the formable to controlling at least half or even 2/3rds of the region. 48 and 62 locations respectively, instead of the current 28. Even if you take Netherlands to be 'formed' with the Plakaat of Verlatinghe (it wasn't), the signees included, among a couple others, Brabant, Flanders, Holland, Utrecht, Gelre, and Friesland. In EU5 terms that would be, in total, 63 locations.
>no historical event that establishes the kalmar unionNice bias swedecucks.
>>2216203Greenland99% of your gameplay is using favors to ask for settlers and money, but you can see North America from the start of the game
Holy molly do professional armies fucking OWN
>>2216212It's literally a thing at the start though>Denmark isn't part of itGOOD.
>>2216140>You surrender your own right to be called human when you support russias actions.
>>2216216the danish are the chads of scandinavia, the coolest vikangs who did all the vikang shit, and the leaders of the kalmar union, sorry le sweden was le based and le revelant for 20 years of human history during the le deluge which they lost and became an irrelevant shithole again right after
>requirements not me>shows nothingWhat am I doing wrong here?

>>2216189Certified A.E.I.O.U moment
>>2216225Then he deleted it out of shame.It's all gone.
>>2216224Nvm, just figured out I have to mouse over it. Kind of mad Sweden and Novgorod get to jointly decide to cuck me out of land though lol
>>2216224Theres an agreement with Sweden before the game that the land is theirs.
>>2216227HE COULD BE IN THIS VERY THREAD
>>2216205I wouldn't mind if it was more like a one off but like 1/5th of japan is ruled by women and it's not even 1400. I think half the problem is because of the lack of characters to begin with. Even the fucking Shogun is a woman. I know they're supposed to collapse but paradox, please.
>>2216210So am i not meant to take land? What am I doing wrong?
>>2216226BASED
Sicilybros...
>>2216140There is no way Lambert isn't just ragebaiting. Each post is written in such a satirical way with pure ignorance on display.Capitalizing SS in Russia. The idea that putting 'the' in front of a country name is fascist. Pretending that we've always called Kiev, 'Kyiv'.I'm sure if an Azov member saw any of this they'd sieg heil and kill Lambert just out of the disrespect he shows lmao.
>>2216236give that to vassals next time
>>2216236You are supposed to release them as 1 province vassals to gain control and convert the culture.But also not get tons of antagonism, else there will be IOs formed against (You)
>>2216116Ot depends if certain locations even reach your market too. Like northern Sweden or Norway or whatever it is.
if I'm colonizing should I snatch every single location so others don't get the range?
>>2216243>There is no way Lambert isn't just ragebaitingNo he really is like this, in his videos he has the classic green Zelensky shirt in the background.He was also sperging so hard on the Paradox forums, he almost got banned.
>>2216243dude i like ukraine over russia but he is just such a faggot, i discovered him from his early acsess euv shit and he just talks so condescendingly for no fucking reason at all. easily one of the most hateable human beings of all time. when talking about suggestions for the game he just acts so smug and condescending to paradox and the audience. hes just a total ultra smug libtard
>>2216210Hatres towards the eternal Anglo is how every normal human feels
>>2216235I also found out that your ruler's death is pre-determined at a certain point.
i have to change my laws to allow foreign religion because my kids grow up at my wifes court (she's a filthy orthodog)but nobody cared when a black man was appointed regent then king and his heirs still dont even speak our language

>>2216036I think the 80 years war is really cool and it's a shame that there's no chance of it actually happening remotely like it did historically.

>>2216286Ottomans have some richer lands but also lands full of people who hate them. It honestly could go either way.

everyone that doubted needs to apologise
>>2216296curry favors yourself
>>2216304I've never seen an option to force a character to commit it, the game mechanics are so barebones you gain literally nothing except memes from doing it to yourself. You have to go out of your way to lose honour from playing so far.

>>2216302>Ottomans have some richer landsActually wrong!Ottomans have a tax base of 89.Eretnids have a tax base of 178.>>2216323It's possible, Ottomans ran into the brick wall of Bulgaria.
Whether you like this game or not is genuinely an IQ test
>>2216313Doesn’t that give them favors too?
probably dorky for me to say but it is cool as fuck that you can issue orders to your regiments
>>2216305My hussite wars ended with Rome burning and Bohemia reverting to Catholicism anyway.
>>2216336Not really I love it more then any gsg already but it’s just an entirely different game then eu4. Eu4 is an arcade boardgame which has its own appeal, and this is an actually simulation game.
>>2216308>in your languageit's funny how much of a difference it makes to filter everyone too low IQ to speak english

What the fuck is this and where did it even come from?

Guys I think I am literally retarded and need help with the economy.So it's apparent that at game start you don't have enough trade capacity and domestic production to fuel all your buildings and pop needs, so what the fuck am I supposed to do then? Do I just wait for the market to become not shit?
So do I help my Sweden bros, or laugh at their suffering? I dont really understand how personal unions work in this game yet. I assume I will want to break free?>>2216386Fuck.. I forgot about the plague lmao
I forget the diaries. Are there any mechanics to let Euros establish outposts along costs to extend their colonial range to get around Africa and Asia?
What religious aspects actually fit hussites?I know jack shit about them

What's a good army composition to siege stuff?Just unlock cannons and built 6 of em. Not sure if they should be in reserve or not.
you have to garrison the forts you take from the enemy otherwise they can just siege them back super fast?is that it?
>>2216400they are weird
>>2216386I think it's worth it, at least in your most valuable cities
>>2216395build marketplaces in towns and market villages in rural provinces to increase your trade capacity
>ai constantly voting to excommunicate me>pope lifts it the second they doAmazing
>>2216418This is historical.
>>2216406YESHoly fuck man I just closed the game and was about to post a rant about thatForts in every province and the allied AI is incapable of finishing siege without wandering out into the fog of war to chase an army at 21%, and when I finally manage to capture some of their forts, Bohemia just swoops in and takes them all back instantly because the option to garrison the shit you just occupied is off by the default lol
>>2216385I have 0 (zero) because the believable world's Renaissance decided to spawn in Milan and stop right at the border of my precious Florence>>2216390Nothing highlights and I've never seen anything like that when digging through the tree manually. Maybe it's spawned by spamming high cost buildings? I certainly have them all. Or a ninja event somewhere in the log maybe that the game didn't see fit to pop up.
>>2216371import some random bullshit from them?
>>2216408that reads like they'd maybe be; Bread and Wine, Sola Scriptura and maybe lay preachers.

how do I attract more clergy and burgher courtiers? most of mine are nobles and I'm not allowed to appoint them to the cabinetI know I can hire a new one but it's very expensive, are there other options?
antagonism seems A LOT less difficult to manage than aggressive expansion from EU4. as florence I've taken luca, pisa, siena, urbino, and I'm about to dec war and take genoa yet it's only 1379 and I've had zero coalitions form. since burghers and clergy are so influential I choose one's law and push the agenda from the other and I sit at like 90% support making it trivial to get the free parliament CB and pass one more agenda to pass the law as well.
>>2216447The game doesn't tell you this anywhere but if one of the union members is not voting for the reform you want to (they sometimes refuse unification) you can use a diplomatic action to bribe them with 10 prestige
Are there known issues right now with artists not finishing artwork? I commissioned an artist years ago and they're still at 0% completion.
>>2216460wtf thank you so much, how do I actually do that action though, which menus?

I went to war against some NA natives after they fucked my colony. I occupied their land but it says that its occupied by my colony that isnt even in the war hence my war score of 0. What am i supposed to do?
>>2216475basato
>>2216399Yes, they colonize all of Africa, then Madagascar, then Australia and the Pacific islands.
>>2216500The ballot icon that shows up in the union tab during a vote shows the current votes, I think if you hover over some of the laws it might show which way each member leans but I'm not sure, they changed this interface in the 1.0.2 patch and sometimes it doesn't show every member who hasn't voted yet.

>Some tags have unique techsHuh, didn't expect that.
>>2216560this is eu5s version of national ideas
>>2216527Yeah it’s a lot more difficult if you are talking about late eu4 Austria. Basically Austria in eu5 is like equivalent to brandenburg. Starts pretty weak and your bordered by the monster Bohemia, but you can within a century, become the HRE emperor and an economic powerhouse, but you have to work towards it and you get no free PU’s.Maybe brandenburh is considered easy but I literally lost a brandenburg campaign like 59 years into it a week ago, so I’d put eu5 Austria on that level. My tip would be to get TIROL asap for the mines, and improve with all electors to become HRE then focus on economy 80% of the time and expand 20% of the time and make everything you conquer not near your capital a vassal.
>>2216556>really every "Area" on the map should be a formable by defaultthey technically are because you can make custom subjects
>>2216559shirley
>>2216519Vghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh we would have had this irl if Poland wasn’t evil and gay…
how can I siege down forts faster in the early game?
>>2216559Anon...
Anyone else try Milan? Its economy is cursed for some reason, after 100 years in 2 separate runs where one was fully automated and the other was manually min-maxxed, positive income only went up to 20. by comparison, Muscovy was around 90+ income after a hundred years despite having less population and development.
>marry queen>our son is set to inherit 3 kingdoms>queen dies, son inherits her kingdom>son dies, grandson inherits>all good right?>nope now my second son inherits my country and the union is deniedthanks paradox
I do want to stress again how cool it is that the game forces you to play tall yet you become crazy more powerful as years go on even without expanding. eu4 100 years in id own half of germany to be at this level, but im just chilling at near 1444 austria borders and becoming a world power through the economy. my fear is that BlobCucks will cry on the forums and this will be reversed.... i love that i actually care about my country by only being able to manage the capital and palces nearby rather then the eu4 boardgame mindset of CONQUER AND CORE EVERYYYYYYYYYYYYYTHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING. its just so cool becoming strong af through economic means without le mana dev game bullshit

So whats the best way to get land with CB? Vassel into Annex? Just take over? I figured out a lot of the other stuff but not sure on the best way to expand and get pops.

Englandbros, give me your best trade/economy tips
>>2216646In some ways there was historically a period of time where the leader of Japan floated the idea of invading the Spanish Philippines. I'm not sure it would be completely impossible if the Japanese really tried. But also, it makes absolutely no sense when it happens if you let AI outside Europe colonize. When the entire country is fragmented and in disorder, it makes no sense for Ashikaga to focus resources on taking over the Philippines. There should also be more that happens when you try to colonize a place that has a really established people. Both pops in the locations and nearby Filipino nations should be hostile to the Japanese encroachment and launch invasions of the colonies (or have Japanese pops die and migrate away in noncolonized locations).
How am I supposed to get goods to my colonies?I'm trying to set up an African outpost but the market is too far away to trade with anywhere I have trade capacity in

what does this number mean?it seems reasonable for regular states, but for horde it shows stupid big numbers for some reason and i dont think they have that much leviesi was able to roll the golden horde after timur raped them and it still showed those numbers
>>2216678I assume it has something to do with them being an Army Based Country (ABC) which causes them to instantly evaporate if you stackwipe their whole army, and release a bunch of small historical tags like Astrakhan, Crimea, Kazan, Nogai, etc.

why does the game start quickly but it forces you to load it in the main menu?also how come they changed the mods to an in-game menu?

So what's the point of colonising tiny islands like Bermuda when you can't build docks or anything to use them as a naval base or connect them to a market unless they're a city and they're too small to support themselves so you can't even get them to that point?
Mongolian hordes are getting uppity
>>2216712gas stop (for food, minimizing attrition) in the atlantic
>70 years to annex icelandWell damn
>>2216714But they have no food and they can't really function as stopovers for ships without naval buildings which you can't make.
>>2216715seems a bit silly. Fuck all people live there
>>2216719when you colonize it pops will move there (and you can move more in cabinet) i thinki did that with the azores
do i want artillery on all 3 columns or only in the center or only on the flanks?
SUCK MY BIG FAT GOLDEN RUSSIAN DICK
>>2216726The Azores are big enough to mostly support themselves though. Bermuda, St Helena, etc aren't and they're too far from any market without being able to build docks on them.
>>2216672so should I do the parliament CB until I get better ones later on?
>>2216694because johan our lord and savior was tired of the publisher pushing their useless bullshit like paradox account
>>2216666automate trade, spend money on RGOs then on buildings, but mainly RGOs. t. 1000 tax base in 1484
>>2216733Yeah, it's better than No-CB even if you let the issue expire and take a 7 stab hit. Later on you can get Deus Vult vs other religions for example, but it still takes a lot of time to fabricate - gotta spy network to 20 and then fabricate the CB which itself takes a while. It doesn't replace Parliament, more like support it if you want to do 2 wars per 5 years instead of just one.

Released that as a vassal immediately, and somehow that seemed to end the situation and reward me with 25 stab and a whole bunch of other stuff. Glad to be off Mr. Hus' wild ride, but I might be on another wild ride in 100 years when the reformation comes and I flip protestant to join the league wars and reclaim my position as Emperor (which I lost because my heir was female).
what are these niggas doing
Alright bros, I want honest opinions after the first few days.What do you rate it out of 10?Is it promising?
>>2216742they don't produce less goods if that's what you mean>>2216754like a 7/10 right now but there's lots of promise. if they fix the AI and make playthroughs more dynamic instead of every game ending up the same it'll be good
Who are we betting on winning the italian situation?
>>2216754Literally 10/10 it’s everything I wanted and more. The only thing I could want rn is better UI and more aggressive ottomans, Russia and Austria.
>>22167549/10the 1 missing point is for the shitty ass interface
>>22167547.5/10 troop movements are jank and the game has a lot of non-transparent mechanics and modifiers, loves graying out buttons and not giving me a reason what that means compared to a simple red X for "AI won't accept this"
>>2216758The italian situation is crazy...
>wanted to do a de-dane-ification of Denmark as Holstein-Rendsburg-Schauenburg guy>Holstein has 0 unique events so I guess I gotta start as Denmark and then get him to actually usurp the throne imagining there was going to be some kinda event about the overthrowing of this guy where I could go ahistorical>two years in and suddenly Valdemar just becomes king, no event or nothing, no apparent reason or explanation why the regency just suddenly endedThanks, Johan, very cool

the ai seems to relent from utterly devastating the player and to be frank i don't totally despise it. a line had to be drawn between ck3's 'nothing ever goes wrong' and eu4's 'savescum a thousand times until you're chewing your own neck'it is much easier to accept a loss this way,.. balance should be drawn towards an acceptable concession (obviously, without totally discluding major upsets and sensible play on the part of computer)

>>2215180In reality, republics were probably more common, some other Aztec/Nahua towns and cities like Yautepec and Cuexcomate show access to nominally elite goods by commoners, though Tlaxcala also has an unusually egalitarian layoutMonte Alban also went through some egalitarian phases in it's history (though I don't think researchers think that means it was ruled via a republic/senate then), and some researchers think Teotihuacan was a democracyAnyways, other then the character model, the flags, the religion logo, and the throne room graphics, are there any other mesoamerican/region specific art assets? I've seen UI graphics/art of a town/city for example, does each region have a unique piece of art for that? Or whatever >>2215618 and >>2216189 is or the army art in >>2215398, or >>2215806 etc?

its 1450 btw, Bohemia hasn't been at war with anyone in the region nor are they the Emperor. How did they get this land? They got some more land randomly in another part of Italy that is completely landlocked.

I'm on track to inherit Ashikaga as Wehale due to a complicated series of events. I'm not really sure what I'll do when that happens.

How do you establish who is the senior partner in a personal union?
>>2216871The Tlaxcalteca were "Aztecs" in most definitions of the term, but I assume you mean Mexica The Mexica were based too, though
>>2216919It tells you in the PU screen
>>2216919whomever mogs
>>2216928Which honestly seems like a great system. I'm glad PUs are more fleshed out in this one and ending up a junior in one isnt just about you trying to break free in a war
>>2216921>The Mexica were based too, thoughBased people don't get mobbed by basically all their neighbours in favour of some smelly foreigners.
>>2216919Great power score
Coalition wars are pretty easy, they peace out too quickly
>>2216935Does that mean I'm screwed if I got a union with a significantly more powerful nation? If they end up annexing you, does it let you continue playing as the merged country?
Gotta love how I can be allied with the Papal State itself and the Ghosts n' Goblins situation does not care one bit. Neither does the Western Schism, for that matter.
Is there a comprehensive list of events yet? I wanna see if there's a Kalmar Union event.
Kings, a toast,I'm really appreciative of this game. I love it. I'm addicted to it. It's not perfect but I think it might be my favorite strategy game of all time. That might be rose colored glasses but it's really really really good. I am so thankful we got it. I am so thankful to be able to play it. Wow it's really really great.Also it's incredible this is the WORST it will ever be. It's only going to get better from here bros.Do we deserve this game? IDK but I fucking love it I'm gonna play it all weekend for sure
>>2216919foundation law, you can enact it after 5 years of being in a unionbetter question wtf is union integration level?does it make it easier to annex when you reach the final reforms?
>>2216939>Does that mean I'm screwed if I got a union with a significantly more powerful nation?No, theres different union types and you need a specific one to actually annex. If you ever played stellaris, its kinda of like a federation where you pass laws and you need to pass a bunch to actually get the ability to annex so worst case is you just vote against the reforms so they never get to the vote on allowing annexations.
>black death never made it to my part of the worldhorey shet

>>2216934Cortes getting allies against the Mexica has little to do with the Mexica being especially disliked, and is more just how the opportunistic nature of Mesoamerican politics worked, if anything the Mexica were MORE hands off then other big Mesoamerican political powers and that further enabled opportunistic side switching as a method of political advancementPlus, not "basically all of their neighbors" sided with Cortes, the Aztec Empire had ~500 subject and vassal states, with there being another few hundred in the region not in the empire at all.

>>2217028Inverted player detected
>>2217027have you never used music players or video players…
Have they said anything about the performance?
fuck off assblasted spic
>>2217016Standing armies are expensive. You are basically paying several thousand able-bodied men to do no productive work whatsoever, and unlike levies you have to pay for their equipment and transportation and housing as well.
Why my naval levies gone?I had like 10 ships in my last war, and in this one I have none. Granted this time its post black death, but surely I should still have some, no?
>>2217031This isn't a music player Johan
>>2217037Aren't they also basically the royal army, or royal guard at that point?
How do you view opinions of another country against another country? I remember you could mouse over in the opinion map mode in EU4 but it doesn't seem to be the case in EU5.

>>2217046It only shows colour, it doesn't show the actual number
>>2217042try opening the opinion mapmode, clicking on a country then seeing if that shows it
>>2216822why don't you download the game and check it out instead of bothering people in these threads for days
>>2217047you took paris? where does he move his capital to?
>>2217050Don't reply to him you stupid faggot.
>>2217053Tours and it doesn't even have a fort so it's easy as fuck to occupy them now
>>2217055ah nicei wonder if you can tell him to break his fort in paris as a peace deal and just surround it
Remember to add garrisons to forts you capture, or automate it with one of the bototm left options in the army UI.If you don't AI will siege them back immediately.Allies also don't seem to garrison them often.
>>2217058learned that the hard way vs france, but it wasn’t like i had any regulars to fill forts with anyway
I establish a market and then my economy skyrockets. Being part of a bigger market is shit past building the initial buildings and profiting from importing.
>>2217041Yeah, they would be under the direct authority of the crown and probably used to guard crown property when there's no war to fight. Levies, by comparison, would be loyal to the lord or city that raised them before the crown.Standing armies also don't have to work the fields during peace time, which means they can spend their time drilling. On top of that they're getting their equipment provided by the crown, so they're probably better equipped than levies who in many cases would be using hastily-converted farm equipment. And to top it all off, as professional soldiers, they've signed up to fight. Levies just want to go home. This is one of several reasons that modern countries are transitioning away from conscription; morale is higher when everyone on the front line chose to be there.
So levies are a must until like mid game? I removed a noble levy privilege and my levies halved for little benefit and I can only recruit 600 troops before army prof and I doubt army prof is going to help much
Why is building a city so fucking expensive I should have started as Mogadishu
>>2217065Just until you embrace the "Professional Armies" institution and the research to build a building that spits out manpower. There's an early-game equivalent building you can only build on the capital, but its manpower replenishment rate is a measly +5.
>>2215621>it can fuck with your cpuHow?
>>2217069Nta but it makes the game work weirdly in general anyway + disables achievements. It doesn't feel worth it for a slight speed increase.
>Play as Muscovy>Permian rebels rise up on the other side of the country>By the time any army force arrives to fight them, they automatically peace out since they don't need long to do so.
>play as Kiev
How would you feel about a few nations being given extra smart AI capable of planning and such? It would be like lucky nations being given to some important tags. As for why it'd only be a select few, it is so it isn't massively bogging down performance. Maybe there could even be a dynamic system where a country that manages to get strong enough will gain the improved intelligence too.
I tried to curtail the nobles and centralize power into the crown too early and ended up stalling out my income with no way to fix except changing multiple laws for hundreds of stability>nobles are unhappy but I'm not taxing them so they're not rebelling>one of my laws gives peasants -25% satisfaction so unless I change it or give them multiple other privileges I can't really tax them without revolts>burghers are very satisfied, but they're too powerful and are lowering their max tax rate>church faggots don't get taxed god I hate catholiccucks I wish martin luther finished the job and ended the p*pacy
/gsg/ status?
Make sure to build your trade offices overseas or you will get cucked like I did. I entered a death spiral because my income got fucked.
my pc sounds like a jet engine

My dad works at microsoft. If you enter debug mode your PC goes to bluescreen and your CPU and GPU switch places.
>>2217068armory? How do you raise your FL? Also are levies weaker than standing armies?
STOP DYING TO FUCKING WILD ANIMALS
Use that option, it's the hidden secret Johan didn't want you to know about.
>>2217104>are levies weaker than standing armiesnot him, but yes
>>2217104There is no force limit. Your "force limit" is however many troops you can finacially support.
>>2217107Random DHE choices?
>>2217047make sure to release those as one state vassals to convert to your culture (then reannex)thank me later
>>2217107Johan (PBUH) left it for his strongest soldiers to find.
>>2217111>releasing vassals>ONE seazone awayjesus christ anon, just send ships to increase maritime presence
Do generals and admirals still have elevated death rates like EU4, I don't think it says anywhere in the tooltips
>>2217111Um sis that's too gamey and breaks my RP immersion

>>2217117>-6568 a month
>>2217120When you successfully make a colony you have the option to switch to it and play as it.
What's my best bet in taxing nobility more and decreasing their power more?
>>2217117>im also almost fully depeasented like it's fucking vicky lmaoHow? What buildings do you build?
>>2217016>>2217022>>2217037>>2217041>>2217063Back to the game, Regulars are expensive because Levies have -10% discipline and Regulars have normal frontage/width. Regulars mop up Levies in every conceivable way. You pay a premium to have them but they are so strong it doesnt matter. Regulars absolutely crush in early game, given you use them in any war, at all.
>>2217121Did you rip that line straight from the WEF? >You vil pay the tax.
>>2217129I don't think they're too strong.I was fielding a 4,000 stack (3,000 early arquebuses, 1,000 of whatever the cannons are called) and invading Zimbabwe, who didn't even have professional armies.I won 2:1, but it shouldn't be that close. I had guns and cannons against literal spear chuckers.
>>2217124oh thats cause one of my charters just flippedi send 3-600 people to the colonies monthly.my total pop is down about 100k since i started colonizing>>2217128i mean they're laborers in my rgo's right. the colony charter seem to take peasants before it takes anyone with an actual job, so ive depopulated my poor regions with 0 market access and left the productive southeast alone
>>2217133Yeah, my economy is a fraction of yours as fucking Spain. I think I'm playing the game wrong.Can you post your budget screen? Ideally with trade income hovered.
>>2217132Oh yeah that's not a call to nerf them. Having non levy troops is normal.>2:1When you get Men At Arms you can legitimately win 4:1 odds on dice roll advantage. It's nuts. The AI really needs to get good and have larger regulars. Fighting great powers is trivial unless it's France or something.
>>2217117>>2217133>>2217134vgh... they made Colonialism OP again... thanks Johan I guess...
Can someone explain to me what purpose the island of Chagos serves? It is impassable yet magnified to a huge size.
Now that the dust has settled, was 1337 the right choice?I was in the 1453 camp, but I should have trusted Johan.1337-1437 is perfect to build an economy in order to colonize the new world.
>trying a bank>nothing to do>nothing to spend my copious amounts of money on>difficult and annoying to loan money out>can't use mercs>can't build trade buildings for some reason>can't play kingmaker with money>no UI to even manage my foreign buildings easilyI kept hearing about something barebones they were considering not putting in for the release. Is that what this is?
>revive HellenismWhat the fuck? Is it worth it, does it have cool bonuses or is Orthodoxy better?
>>2217069it's telling the game to ignore frame rendering and just compute ticks as fast as it can which is more cpu intensive, can cause general overheating and disk wear issues. already seen a few guys crash their weak pcs with this elsewhere
yeah 1337 is kino. It goes slow enough to where you can actually appreciate the different gameplay styles in each Age.
1356 would've been better
>>2217143If you want Hellenism you have to Spiritualistmax or suffer.You would be switching to a religion that is the absolute minority in your country.
>>2217144>weak PCsThere's the issue.The game shouldn't be bottlenecked to what the GPU can accomplish. Nobody plays these games for graphics.
earlier start date is neat as an idea, but both they haven't fixed the issues of tags sticking around longer than they should like the Golden horde or "kyiv" and the issue of performance
>>2217097I know this is bait but I think its funny people calling it a mobile game interface when the interface would be insanely shit for touch screens
Why the fuck do they have the house of Wessex and every single Japanese emperor ever in the game?Open the ledger, click dynasties, search Yamato.
>>2217097>WOKEOther than Kyiv, how?
>>2217155>when the interface would be insanely shit for touch screensRetard, this game 1:1 looks like a free mobile game
>>2217134its all trade lmaoat some point maybe 100y ago nothing in norway was really profitable to build so i started improving relations with anyone i could to build trade offices
The building tab and location tab show different amounts of profits for a given building, why is that?
>>2217134Here's my Spain formed by Aragon recently with no colonial stuff in 1575, not that you asked but seems relevant to the topic.
>>2217161Turns out running a shithole doesn't cost much so you're rich. It's like traveling to southeast Asia from a first world country. Cool.
I've got 20 hours on the game by now and I'm starting to get the intricacies of markets and managing my economy. I still have severe shortfalls in furniture and shit but at least I'm not economically illiterate and actually understand the mechanics behind it now
>>2217184I really wish there was an option to see burgher imports and exports and get more details on them. it seems really random right now
>>2215503That's just because France got their own miracle first, the Capetian one. If anything, if the miracle continues further, we might get Carolingian old border... Then it got fractured again, maybe at Protestant Reformation.

What the fuck are "enhancements" in jewelry guilds and do you have to have them?I have enough gold, but jot enough perals, gems, ivory, or any of the other shit it wants.
Any fix for the constant variation in music volume? I have the following settings but there are still times where it will lull rly quiet then come in booming.
>>2217205its kinda retardedi have to subsidize it in order to get sailorsi feel like it was designed for a very specific place in mind that doesnt have any fish so you wont go in to minus
>>2217211Nah, music is inconsistent as fuck.Quite frankly the only part of the game I feel is worse than EU4.
>>2217207>The combat AI is somehow even worse than other pdx gamesIts terrible, it completely breaks if you fight on a huge front. For example a Muscovy v Golden Horde war results in the Golden Horde AI breaking and they just don't move their units ever.
>>2217163Were you trade office maxxing as well?>20 hours in and i still don't know the meta
>>2217194I have similar problems with mine except they don't even hire nor produce anything because it is so shit. Do not build this building.
>>2217221they dont hire and dont produce because they know that they will go in to minus. Click the button to subsidize them if you need their bonuses.
>AI magically detects my peasants are below 25% satisfaction>declares war on mehuh?
Why does my CPU run at 50% on idle?
>>2217219I've built up a lot of Marketplaces, they're definitely a strong building. If you have a lot of land then you don't need Trade Offices other than in markets where you want more control or you want to do business there, in which case they're critical. My economy is mostly internal, though, I've extensively built up my industry. RGOs tend to be the best bang for the buck but filling satisfaction does a lot of great things and you need buildings to convert the materials you're not trading into better trade goods. Other than getting self-sufficiency with what trade goods you can, just slamming buildings into your capital and population centers is the way to go.
>>2217203The pops you are trying to raise are very unhappy with you. Look at your peasant estate.
>>2217228I don't know why I was getting such bad RNG events.But damn, good to know now kek
>>2217224you can see other countries pop satisfaction I believe
Bohemia managed to bring France and Poland with it to the 1st hussite crusade. The Papal coallition of German and Italian states(me included, the Uri anon) was mogged and crushed to dust. I don't think there will ever be a 2nd hussite war(also because Bohemia reconverted to Catholicism right after the war start, which went on for years nevertheless, kek)
>>2217227I've just never really got the snowball going. Think I over invested in roads when I should have been developing the capital and the area immediately surrounding it.If I expand RGOs the goods they produce simply become unprofitable. If I build buildings they lack inputs/outputs are unprofitable.I really suck at this game.
>>2217218I noticed they are constantly raising new ridiculously small levies and completely stop moving until they get merged its a fucking pain
>>2217228>satisfaction effects levy sizeWhat else does it effect?
i know nothing, is inflation rising .05% a month bad?im not going to change course i just want to know if its going to get rough
anybody notice that plagues disappear after a while?is it immunity?in my playthrough I think I got an early nothingburger smallpox outbreak, then the bubonic plague, and 2 more plagues afterwards but even before 1400 plagues stopped coming and I don't think I had any for 150 years then I quit
>>2217207not only that but vassals dont seem to follow instructions you give them in the diplomacy tab
>>2217206Those lazy mother fuckers better stop seistaing and help their king literally dying on the hill defending his country.
>>2217241>is a flat + cost to everything bad
>>2217237Roads are great but it's easy to get caught up in spamming them. They have to be roads to and from population centers to other ones, places where you already have a good amount of control and productive provinces. They make a big difference there. Building them to the farther stuff on the other hand is really expensive and has weak gains until you have infrastructure in the entire area. In all things, it's balance. It sounds like you're making too much of one particular thing without waiting a bit to see how the market reacts to the increased supply. Overcorrecting on a demand will ultimately make you less money, unless the demand is something important for more than just cash like food. You'll get a better feel for how to modify to the demand as you play more, it's a lot of interlinking systems.
>>2216815couldnt quite get it to 1500 to discover australia but im almost there
what are your options if you have too many vassals who are all disloyal and can't be annexed?

I do the same in Victoria 3 as well. I'll diversify and stop shift clicking from now on. Thanks, anon.
OK does anyone know the priority for who receives goods in a market? This isn't explicitly said in the game and it's really annoying me.So you have a deficit of say 10 fine cloth and are producing/importing (doesn't matter) 5 a month. Do buildings get that 5 first? or do the estates? An order of priority beyond trade advantage for who gets goods in a deficit really needs to be explicitly stated.
>>2217251>columbus fleet had 90 sailors>i need 250
Is this a land-bridge? I don't see any indication for it on the map. It looks the same as the straits of gibraltar and iirc that isn't a land bridge in EU5.
As soon as you get this much land the game becomes so comfy bros....
>>2217265the channel is like 5 times smaller than gibraltarthere is a man made bridge
>>2217269I know about IRL but where is the indication of land bridges in this game?

I wish there was some sort of province view where you could see all the stats for a province instead of location by location or the entkre country.
>>2217266now show control
>>2217299With time this will improve
What happens if I annex a vassal with vassals, do those vassals become my vassals?
>>2217290Not really, rural settlements grow faster in population and also let you do twice as many RGO levels. 5% control is not as good as 2x as much RGO, especially if it's a really valuable RGO like Silver. Urbanization starts becoming more attractive once you can make use of those +25 building slots with a high development because that can make up for halved RGO or you're nearing the population capacity which takes a very long time.
>retards sitting in religious hre factions for 100 years and never actually going to war so i can't continue conquering hre territoryfucking g*rmans
That was painful but I managed to trick Ajuran AI to attach for one battle and we eventually won after many tears at their absolute retardation, turning an easy defeat in detail kind of war into a long war of attrition. I lost all my levies in the process but it was worth it, maybe
>>2217302Show roads.
>>2217311I'm off atm but it's just normal dirt roads and the AI has built most of it so it's likely a clusterfuck.
How do counting houses work?They say they increase local crown power but what the fuck is local crown power? Crown power doesn't come from locations like estate power does.
>>2217314I think they're a multiplier on the crown power the population in the location gives.
>>2217315But that makes them almost worthless unless all your pops are in one city.
>>2217320Yes. The building is good for small countries capitals and OPM's in particular. Helps them get off the ground lot faster.
>>2217320It's gonna give you some points of crown power if you build them everywhere no matter what, but yeah, it's most effective in places with high population.
>most consistent way of making money is building armories, then building their leather, weapons, and firearms inputsDid early modern economies really have military-industrial complexes like this?
HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING
Can you sue the war leader individually and sue the allies later on?
does it matter if you go above your recruit limit or is it just there for the noobs

>>2217353>>2217351it nuked the union entirely, i had a denmark at 70% integratedit actually remade a fresh union with denmark on the next tick, but now ill have to pass policies again and wait 50 years just to restart the processdoesnt help that i allready spent 200 stab on swapping succession laws because it kept bugging out giving us different heirs even after i enforced inheritance lawswell im retarded for playing ironman on release ig
how important are libraries for increasing literacy and tech progression?
>>2217342I'll become someone relevant in the late game
>>2217357>and wait 50 years just to restart the processIn my game I fully integrated my union and it dissolved, but then when I got a new PU years later the brand new integration year counter was still at 50+ (120 years in fact). They're pretty buggy
>automate everything at first>manually send a spy>AI instantly cancels it>need to wait to have enough diplomats to do it againAmazing that they never thought of not letting the AI cancel what the player just did manually.
>>2217351Invade and claim the throne instead of bitching out.
>>2217361>give ai control>wtf, why is the ai controlling it? this game fucking sucksmaybe eu4 is more your speed
>>2217364>ai is retarded on a basic level>hurr then just don't use it
>>2217362didnt get a CBcan't win a war vs them anyway i never built an army and now my people are all overseaswell my its still my brother on their throne, i might get it back. we'll see.
>>2217369but unironicallyend goal should always be for the player to play the game, the AI being retarded is actually preferable to it being competent
Can you tell your armies to automatically occupy? Is it carpet siege? Doesn't seem to work for me.
>>2217374there's carpet siege and another one where they stay together
>>2217373No thats stupid. I want the AI to be challenging and dynamic
Ended up conquering most of Morocco when they got pulled into my war against Granada.How do I properly take ownership of their lands?Take as much land from them as possible then create a vassal? Make them entirely as a vassal if possible through sueing? Making them cede land and if it's possible making them return that land to create a nation and somehow create a vassal through sueing?What do I want to avoid?
>>2217377I was selecting individual locations but it wasn't working. Seems to actually work when I select the province/area.How do I keep the armies consolidated and not split up?
>>2217309Just after I peaced out Yemen invaded and somehow managed to land 2k troop with one boat, what? Then they turned everything into border goreThen I thought why am I even playing this country, I'm just going to replace my bigger neighbor and the only difference will be my capital location, I should have just started with them
>>2217383use focus siege instead, they stay together and take down forts which then cap the zone of control provinces anyway
>>2217381Gameplay answer for blobbing: take as much as possible and release it all as individual province fiefdoms to annex in 10 years.Roleplay answer: take aesthetic treaty ports with good RGOs, war reps and money, and use it to build marketplaces there to interact with the Fez market
where can i permanently disable the notification spam for rgo employees and missing inputs etc i really don't care to keep manually dismissing them every single month
How do you deal with long early game fort sieges?
>>2217351>200 years and it just ends because of a random event like that?? epicYou should try playing Cahokia. After one event, only your ruler ends up living in the city. Even his family leaves him kek.
>>2217389>permanently disable the notificationYou don't.This game was playtested for over a year and not a single person thought that disabling useless spam flashing at the top of your screen should be a feature.
>>2217362Pretty sure claim throne CBs are a bit bugged. I tried claiming Naples throne but it wasnt avaliable in the peace options.
>>2217393very coolwell at least i didn't pay for the game
>>2217393probably because the "playtesters" were just content creators
>>2217389>>2217393literally just right click them and they stay away until you next load in
I don't think I fully understood how getting CBs from the parliament worksSo I just summon it, pick a location, then pick an issue to get discussed, and then, while I am at it, I spend 50% support to fabricate a claim on a neighbor country?Why couldn't I just summon the parliament with the specific goal of creating a CB?
>>2217398they do in fact not stay away as i have to right click them once a month
>>2217398No they don't. They appear again whenever the game "thinks" something has changed>0.10 missing books!>I don't care>0.09 missing books!
>>2217399>So I just summon it, pick a location, then pick an issue to get discussed, and then, while I am at it, I spend 50% support to fabricate a claim on a neighbor country?Yeah>Why couldn't I just summon the parliament with the specific goal of creating a CB?I dont get it either. Or why you have to go through randomly selected topics instead of just picking one according to the interest of each estate.
>Rights of the noblesWhat the fuck is this shit? Literally none of the options seems good. I don't want to block them sometimes they have good guys.
>>2217404Nobles electorate is by far the best, 5 equilibrium for 10 power and no downsides. The law thing is confusion, it doesn't actually force you into anything, ti's just another possible succession law if you so choose to select it
>>2217404i took it anyway because fuck them nobles
>>2217404Anon, curtail is by far and away the best option there, offering multiple things you want.>Monthly Progress to Centralization>plus Maximum Tax for Noble Estate>reduced Noble PowerThe only bad thing is the satisfaction.
>>2217404Removing them from the cabinet is pretty damn stupid, given the historical context of centralized european monarchies.
>>2217410Nobles should be half of your courtiers because of marriages, max tax is useless if you lose the satisfaction to enforce it, 0.05 value change might as well be zero. It's bad.
>>2217307so basically just like eu4 religious leagues?
>>2217411>>2217412You want to be disempowering the nobles at all times. Every point of power they have is one less point of crown power you have.
>>2217413it's part of the reformation for the hre, it's one of those membership event things you can join or abstain as i've done. but it seems to give everyone a defensive pact i assume to make the religious war trigger but instead they're sitting there
>>2217419Most estate privileges give 100 to 50% power increase, a +10% law is insignificant. You should already have curtailed your nobles by the time this is unlocked regardless.
>>2217425The other ones give power.
Hopes for the DLC?
>>2217428disable notifications flavor pack for 4,99
>>2217421I mean moreso in "the AI doesn't declare war" because in my experience in EU4 the Protestant league never declares war even if they have a 200k Ottomans on their side, and the Catholic emperor eventually enforces Catholicism as the official religion
why can the AI ally each other in the middle of a war, its getting annoying having them randomly ally Hungary or Bohemia years into a war
>>2217432i haven't played eu4 since dharma but i don't recall that ever happening

>build slave centers in Africa>operating at 0% efficiency because no guns in the marketHow do I get these lazy niggers into my colonies? I don't have the range to export them guns.
>>2217452Just import from pre-existing markets in North Africa.
>>2217447Research the tech that gives you armories
If I cancel tributary how likely is it that they instantly invades me? Maybe I could just wait for them to go into a war before I do it and hope the ai forgets about my existence. Or should I just ally with a rival and then cancel? Not sure the best path out. I am tired of these majapahit niggers stealing my shekels.
5ros I barely sleepded...
>>2217454I'm not allowed to, it just says "We have no way to make a trade between Fez and Niani", even though there are existing trade between the two markets made by other countries. I think it's because the market center is way inland and I can't explore it, so there's technically no land connection
>>2217404ye i saw that beforehand and simply didnt research the advance
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3601110104this mod adds lucky Nations back to give you a little bit more of a historical time lapse
>>2217447You rely on levies in the early game
I have Candarids as a union member with full integration all that's left is to actually annex. I can't annex a union member if they are a subject of another nation. I cannot force Jalayirids to release it because it's a vassal of Eretnids who is then a vassal of Jalayrids. On the one hand I like the depth and vassals within vassals but this seems ridiculous. I can't even force release Eretnids due to it costing 300+ warscore.

your response?
Can someone explain colonization to me? All overseas provinces have 0 control so I guess you're supposed to turn it into a colony subject? Should I do this immediately on gaining a province or should I build up the colony a bit beforehand? I'm also not getting any trade advantage in the colony's market even when it's a subject.
>>2217557Admin if you're not a coloniser. Diplo if so is what i did.
>>2217553Their AI is very retarded, they will never declare war on strong nations even though they have way better troops and their CB means they insta take all occupied land and can then instantly raise the levies there. Meanwhile the Timurid player meta is to conquer China

Japan is kinda crazy in this game. Playing as a minor gives you a very dynamic playthrough. I hope it doesnt fall apart in the 1500s. Still kinda buggy and the UI sucks, but its the most interesting gameplay so far.
>"Ulema"why the quotes?
>>2217559>colony subjectIt seems so, don't know about the rest.I was wondering if I should do that to those Atlantic islands (Madeira, Açores and Canary) or just keep them to myself.
>>2217591In my game AI Castille turned them into subjects
>>2217584The first word and the last letter in Arabic for ulema don't exist in English phonology so they represented them with the ticks. For some reason even though they're two different letters they picked the same symbol for them so it looks like they put it in quotes.
>>2217594oh I see, I thought Paradox was implying that the Golden Horde's Ulema isn't a real Ulema kek
lowkey estate and crown power are a meme. just hand out all the good privileges and ignore influence
>>2217598Yeah I was weirded out the same way. The Romanizations are a little inconsistent in EU5, they go through a lot of effort for some (love the Mongolian romanizations) but others are a little weird. I wish they hadn't picked Revised Romanization for Korean though, RR looks like shit. McCune–Reischauer is much better.
Does Eu5 have the railroaded missions of eu4?
>>2217603it doesn'tmissions are like in Vic 3 journal entries I believe and it's off by default (for ironman)
>>2217603No.
>>2217603No, it makes up for that with historical events and "situations". For example, Bohemia's free PU on Brandenburg isn't a mission, it's an event that can happen if you're HRE Emperor as Bohemia (very easy after the first emperor dies) that puts your heir on the Brandenburger throne. Also the Hussite wars are a whole Situation, like the 100 years war, the guelphs and ghibellines, etc. etc. etc.

Aliances are broken in this game I swear. Nobody wants to ally a large, strong, European kingdom? Really? In the same situation in EU4 you'd get to pick and choose any ally.
>>2217641It's 1470 and I have 5k colonial range. I could probably reach Asia without colonizing anything else along the coast, the only thing stopping me are the actual explorations. I would much rather they made range more realistic so it requires outposts along the way while at the same time not having it be a micromanagement slog.

>>2217626The first voyage is just to find the land, the second one is to chart it and maybe establish a fort or two, and finally you send over actual colonists to establish a permanent settlement. This is literally how Columbus' voyages happened.
>>2217645you could basically ally anyone other than your rivals in eu4 with minimal effort regardless of the politics of it
>>2217654Getting from A to B is the easiest part, the trade winds literally just take you where you want to go. The difficult thing is managing supplies and not getting blown off course or shipwrecked by a storm.
oh HELL naw
>>2217649If you read the books about the early portuguese explorations you will see that it happened more or less that way. They would take a ship, go several hundred miles south, see a challenging cape to sail across and say "fuck that" and tail back to Lisbon. Then they would come back with a strategy to cross it, estabilish factories and keep going.They crossed the Bojador (a very dangerous cape) in 1438, reached Arguim in 1443, Sierra Leone in 1460, Nigeria in 1472, the Kongo in 1482 and finally the Cape of Good Hope in 1488. It was smooth sailing to India after they managed to get past the Cape, though.

why is the language of the hussites czechoslovak instead of just czech?
is there any conceivable world in which I can lose?
Why does my game never go above 50% CPU usage?
>>2217665looks like czech and slovak are seperate dialects in the czechslovak language

>>2217667>14kThose are your regulars, not the levies, right?
>>2217680The problem is that the Mamluks are really strong and tend to blob into Anatolia and the Caucasus.
>>2217668Because your GPU sucks LMAO

>Bohemia picks the option to go Hussite>AI immediately switches back to Catholicism because they're the majority
>>2217697takes time to promote into laborers, hover over the RGO nigga
>>2217698I hope they put some restrictions on countries switching religions in the next few patches
>>2217684Yeah I need to prepare to fight them. It says they got 2x my levies but I'm sure I could win with a standing army of 10-15k and take battles in the mountains around cappadocia.I'm almost done with all of greece and I really need to delet serbia and bulgaria from the map otherwise they'll be in perma coalitions against me.I got an event as soon as I got 300 locations and turned into an empire and while it says I'm #2 GP it doesn't feel like it at all

>>2217697not profitable? try subsidizing them
post QoL things that you can never go back without
>>2217708You're right, it did mention that they would make negative monies. I just built them for sailors so I didn't care. Where's the subsidize button at?

WHY THE FUCK is the game putting my infantry regiments on the flanks while keeping the center nearly empty? THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT AND WHY DO I HAVE TO FIX IT MANUALLY
>>2217735Honestly, lack should be able to be used as an adjective like this. Even if incorrect, it sounds right.
why do the emperors always try to make themselves a figurehead?
>>2217745lacking already exists
>holy roman empressDidn't even intend this, just wanted to PU Luxembourg. They were the emperor and I guess there was no check implemented to recalculate the emperor after the country the emperor is in gets PU'd. Luxembourg is no2 great power btw so after my character dies I'll end up the juniour partner in this PU.
Which countries need to be buffed?
>invite settlers>10 peasants/month for 2 yearsWowAmazingI think I'm not even going to bother with all the clicking needed to make it worthwhile at a mass scale.
lacking already exists is not a sentence

Why does Denmark have insanely high levies? In my game at 1380 they can levy 12.5k, that's more than what Austria and Hungary can. But they only have 614k pops
>>2217754Russian minors, Sweden, Brandenburg, England, Burgundy, Timurids.
>playing Two Sicilies (started as Naples)>have Austria, Milan, and Provence in my union where i am the senior partner>notice the little notification that Austria is about to usurp me as the senior partner due to their Great Power score>look at it, Austrias score advantage is entirely from being the Emperor of the HRE>ok cool, i should probably raise my own GP score by integrating Provence>be about a quarter into integration Provence when Austria usurps me as senior partner>ok this isn't too bad, just need to revoke the integration thingy of the Union>Austria starts the vote to enact fast erintegration as soon as they can>for some reason Provence and Milan vote for Austrias integration policy instead of voting for Federal Union (which I'm trying to get them to vote for)>integration policy enacted>next vote i get them to go back to federal union>this goes back and forth like this for a few decades until my nobility satisfaction is 0 from Austria winning too often>nobility about to revolt, when i get dragged into a coalition war>take heavy casualties for my professional troops during this war>Austria also pushes through the whole unified legislation thingy, which removes all my crown-power maxxing government reforms because Austria picked a bunch of worse govt reforms>war eventually ends>nobility immediately starts civil war, taking a bunch of highly productive land alongside with them and also getting most of my fortsthe fuck do i do now and why do all the other union members keep voting for the most retarded shit
>>2217773Martial society + noble levies I think
>>2217778inb4 >why did you keep trying to vote against unification policybecause i didn't want Austria to get a more solid GP score base so I could back the senior partner position for myself, once they inevitably lose the emperorship
>>2217778Austria is trolling you kek
>>2217781How are they the emperor AND a junior partner? Wouldn’t the emperor ship go to the senior partner? Or is it a marriage union?
lmao, people are slowly turning against the game
>>2217760depends on your settings but i hovered over a lot of them and all the ones i looked at said "europe or north africa only"
>>2217785no they are the senior partner because they usurped me in the PUbut they also can be the emperor as junior partner because I'm not in the HRE (at least i think that's why)
>>2217788It was inevitable once the honeymoon period is over.
Is this a bug? Why am I not able to get any food for my army from my colony? I requested food access from them and the province has plenty of food.
>>2217788nice try schizo but your psyop attempts don't work hereEU IV will never be a real strategy game
>>2217794
>>2217794does the province have enough food in the first place?
>>2217788You can tell you are winning when your enemy is left desperately claiming something like "t-they are slowly turning" or "they fucked up big time and now the supporters are revolting". You can't even claim the game is bad or a loss anymore. So now you are only left making up a fantasy of people who love it getting tired of it.
>>2217788>reviews definitely higher than on releasecope
>>2217798Yes, see >>2217797
why do ottomans need to research holy wars before getting to do the whole schtick of islam?
>>2217804they forgor
>>2217733Yes, is that why? Seems a bit weird that you cannot construct them in a country you essentially created. Is it better to just make it part of my own country entirely?
Petition to rewrite chapter 137https://www.change.org/p/president-of-china-change-and-completely-remake-europa-universalis-v?redirect=falsewow chinese fans are vocal about the new game and they are not happy. Theyre discontented with the way everyone collapsed like africans and the whole mogging. I guess they were holding out hope for mission trees. There's even a petition that's garnered thousands of signatures to have the game changed. Obviously that wont happen but it shows how unhappy they are.
>>2217808>chinks chimp out when they aren't getting specifically catered to
>>2217808are you a bot
>>2217405curtail the nobles is better because you get to hand out more noble privileges without getting a huge tax penalty from noble power
>>2217808Your post doesn’t make any sense. The link doesn’t work and the chinks generally don’t like Yuan.
this is retarded. you cant refuse this
>>2217807I think its because the colony country itself hasn't researched it. Same happens with other vassals and advancements
>>2217816it's just the typical "wow chinese are vocal and unhappy about video game" shitpost (probably funded by the cia)

How do you change laws without it costing like 100 stability?
>>2217826>>2217817they can do this if they are the "cultural hegemon" and "naval hegemon" respectively. hegemon system is currently highly broken and unbalanced, not the last of which reason being that it only counts great powers, so if you have a bigger navy or economy than a great power, they still get to be the hegemon and get huge benefits because they crossed some arbitrary power threshhold
>>2217817Typical French behavior
>>2217828through parlament
Pretty fuggin good>>2217828Change them via parliament. If you change a law via parliament you can let the initial parliament issue fail for -7 prestige if you want, but the law change is free.
>>2217727how much is it giving you in total?
>>2217804>Bernard Lewis stated that while most Islamic theologians in the classical period (750–1258 CE) understood jihad to be a military endeavor,[49]:72 after Islamic conquest stagnated and the caliphate divided into smaller stated, "irresistible and permanent jihad came to an end". As jihad became unfeasible it was "postponed from historic to messianic time."[106] Even when the Ottoman Empire carried on a new holy war of expansion in the seventeenth century, "the war was not universally pursued". They made no attempt to recover Spain or Sicily.[107]Basically Muslim conquests more or less stopped being a thing in the late medieval era until the Ottomans and even then they didn't really justify their expansion religiously, they claimed to be the successor to Rome instead. The Ottomans never proclaimed a jihad until WW1 in an attempt to stop the Arabs from revolting.
>my colonies got mad i was using privateers even though they don't affect them muchno fun allowed

The only time I play on speed 1 is when I'm waiting for a 15 year old girl to turn 16 so my son can marry her at exactly midnight.
can I not give land to a vassa/colony directly in a peace deal? it automatically made it occupied by the colony even though the colony wasn't it the war lmao. I called the colony in but when I try to take land it goes to me.
we are so back
there is no content for zoroastrian, christian heresies or any pagan religionbasically if you're not any of the non-pagan starting ones you're out of luckkinda sad
france attacked me AGAIN how does the AI think this is winnable
So I've been trying to centralize, need to weaken the nobles more. Got 40% Crown power though, which is pretty neat.
>>2217845Yeah it sucks
>ran out of pops in my provinces so can't continue colonization>my colonies aren't growing very fastslavery seems like the solution
>>2217845well the Parajew has to sell DLC somehowbut still, the state of the game is exceptional for any paradox title at release
>>2217845they will get content in like three years, if they still support the game by then
>>2217842never mind, when I called the colony into the war it transferred half of the occupations to me and half to ANOTHER colony that wasn't in the war lmao
>>2217853The AI is atrocious. It's literally so bad that its unplayable. Most countries never form. There is horrible border gore, basically nothing ever happens. It's full of weird "grooves" the AI gets into that are always immersion breaking and annoying. France is overpowered, and wins the "hundred" years war in phase 1, usually managing to occupy england.No, the AI is shit and is turning people off the game.
>>2217853yeah i'm gonna need to pay 20$ so the lithianian gods aren't called shit like "fertility god"
>>2217845Honestly I think thats good. They didn't waste time on meme shit and just focused on making the core religions good.
Anyone whos played through the Hussite event for Bohemia? Does hussite stop being a heresy at the end?
>>2217841A gamer move
they copy-pasted the buddhism karma mechanic from eu4 which was always stupid
Is there a way to check pop counts by region/province? There's like 6 million menus and you STILL can't get the fucking info you need.
Is there a better way of revoking privileges than clicking them directly for -965462 Stability?
>Built 4 fishing villages>Subsidizing them so they got workers>Zero sailor income from themWhat's the deal with them this time? How do you get any sailors in this fucking game.
fuck bro it lags so bad when you zoom in and out the map, while in a wars where there are like 70 countries in participation because of all the subjects
>>2217866if you got more crown power it will cost lessa good time to revoke it is during that parliament issue that increases your crown power by 50%
>>2217864For your own country go to ledger -> population gives you the old victoria 2 pop screenThe only good UI of the game
>>2217862I personally hate it because I can't join a sect. It seems like they are pretty much preset on game start and if you don't have access to one of the IOs, then you can't adopt any of them. I desperately just want to adopt Islam, but it won't spread to my country. Any religion for that matter would be better. I managed to get Shinto leaders, yet there doesn't seem to be anything to even let me use my ruler's religion.
>>2217868do you even have a sailor pool? +1 sailors per month doesn't do anything if you don't
>>2217824Yeah, the voiced pharyngeal approximant in Arabic is usually a superscript c in academic romanizations and the glottal stop is an apostrophe. They just gave them both the apostrophe in the game. It should be ʿulama' and not 'ulama'
>>2217886holy nitpick
>>2217881It says I have 126 max pool. I'm slowly getting sailors now, I think the counter is just lying. Still with one galley costing 60 sailors I'm never getting a navy made.
>>2217881Not that anon but the manpower/sailor pool is just 60x your monthly gross.
I still don't get the Town/City colors. Why are some towns silver, others copper? Fuck does this mean, why is it not explained anywhere? Fucking dumb niggers.

>>2217889control in the province?>>2217890right
>>2217892Silver is the province capital, if you take it then it automatically capture the other locations in the province (assuming no forts). Bronze is just a non-capital, Gold is the national capital.
>>2217887Hey it's someone else who picked it up, I didn't say anything.
>Ottomans became OrthodoxLemayo what
>>2217718And to merge two armies together.
What countries need a nerf?I think the Golden Horde and France.But France needs an organic nerf, like their neighbors allying with GPs if France is too centralized and expanding it's borders.
>>2217903its a new meme meta in this game. AI is fucked and does stupid bullshit like that every single run
>>2217893>zoroastrian, christian heresies or any pagan religion>half the map
>>2217907france needs to simulate the actual instability of the french nobility and vassals of the time. burgundy is a pushover. france has no resistance and can just raise 200k levies in the 14th century
>>2217898>"So I was walking home and then this guy 3ahrab2d 5huhar Allah swt 6hargh3h 7umgah me. That was so u3hgra5d b5had lol"Every fucking time an Arab posts on the internet. Why are they like this?
>>2217907>mechanics need to work differently around France because... THEY JUST DO OK
>>2217899Yeah I'm guessing the lack of control makes each fishing village give less than the 1 it says.

>>2217923Oh you're just a russian lolI don't know why I wasted my time
>>2217920well nothe base of why the game is so good is because mechanics are coherently simulated and consistent as wellyou can't deisgn for shit, retard
>>2217924Killed by a wild beastJust like everyone who reach 50
>>2217926yes im russian because I understand noone wants to play as african shitholes. you're so smart.
>>2217931I want to
>>2217912it makes sense if you understand al3rabiyeh ya 7mar hhhh. Basically replacing letters that don't exist in English with numbers that look like the letters they replace, like 3 = ع and 2 = ء
seething
>>2217931>REEEEE THE HORDES ARE IRRELEVANT WHY DON'T THEY COLLAPSE LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO IT'S KIEV
Has anyone managed to actually form colonies specifically as England (or even any other nation)? I am trying to find the cause of bug with generic flags for colonial subjects, but I can't narrow it down and it is still so early after the release that not many people have formed colonies.
how do i make my people breed harderi need babies to kill the french with
>>2217940Gather the Parliament then hope you will get the "census" option. Boosts pop growth by +0.50% in whole country for the duration (180 days). That is a shitton.
>>2217940Unironically convert to paganism
>>2217937the hordes are just punching bags for europeansthe african shitholes are just punching bags for europeansthe native americans are just punching bags for europeansthese are the nations estrogenic numales want to play
>>2217937not him, but what are you schizoing on about
>>2217939dunno, what's the issue? flags seem to be purely random
>>2217941good idea>>2217944how do you even do this? take over some shit in lithuania and reduce the power of the church estate or something?
how do you guys decide what to build? do you fill gaps in your market or do you just build what has the highest profit margin?
>>2217950i automate that shit
>>2217950comparative advantages
>>2217948post some of them and look at mine - it should have Great Britain flag in the corner, but it does not as is generic instead. See the screenshot, it is a proper flag, but instead of the quartered royal banner, it uses fucking Union Jack in 1491. Reloading the game led to this screenshot: >>2217939
>>2217950I just looked at the profits, I reckon the market will even itself out that way. and yeah automate once you get too big.
Anyone have any tips for how to break into GP status? Pic is my current status. I'm a little slow on conquering Italy but I'm bogged down in coalitions. It's 1527 and I'm current on tech/institutions. Pisa is my vassal, and so are a few smaller states in Greece.
>>2217869oh, the lag fixes if you quit back to menu and reload save
>>22179571499 here and I am GP, you can take a look at my numbers and compare how you can improve yours.
>>2217957it's all down to population basicallyif you aren't huge you wont be a great power
>>2217949You either need more than 40% of your pops to be the religion, or have the game rule for free conversionI wish it was just a matter of estate dominance and rebels
>>2217955cba posting them all but mine have no elements from my own flag, they do share some colours so might be pseudorandom generation
>>2217960>kingdom of great Britain>that is actually England because alba exists (why is it not Scotland?)>England and Scotland are a merged nation>that isn't the United KingdomWhat is this cursed shit
>>2217939In my Maya game the British colony in East America started as "Pamlico" and eventually turned into America. Perhaps for flags and proper names the colonies need to grow into a specific size and then form one of the pre-existing colony tags?
>>2217966
With the boost colonial charter cabinet action I can colonize one unpopulated location every 2 months (400-500 settlers a month), this is pretty broken.
>>2217962that sucks, easy dlc opportunity to expand on that mechanic
the AI so dumb it's actually hilariousthey'll sit on my fort until like +40% and just randomly walk away when i'm nowhere nearsometimes i mistime my base race but it doesn't even matter because of it
>>2217965>(why is it not Scotland?)Because they speak Gaelic at court>>2217966>>2217967seems to be related to winning the hundred years war and having fleurs in the dominant quarter, then forming GB. my colonies also had proper flag, but only until I formed GB, after that they turned generic without my flag in the quarter. thanks anon for posting the screenshots.
>move your mouse around the map>white noise playswtf is this?
>>2217972>gaelic Vile, anyway what about the rest of it, why are you GB but a seperate entity to Scotland, and also not the UK?
I'm gonna abandon my holland game. My economy is a dumpster fire and I'm way too behind on everything because I was still learning the game. Should I do Muscovy or Austria next?
>>2217773Ya I'm surprised too. I think they are going to be the bane of my Norway game. Especially since Denmark decided to invade right as Sweden was having (another) civil war and took a bunch of land
>>2217975forming Great Britan requires to hold Wales England and some of Scottish territory, but also Scotland needs to be either destroyed completely or subjected. I decided to subject them, then create Great Britain, which did not annex them for some reason (maybe a bug? who the fuck knows).
My Crusader King brain feels like marrying my queen to another male ruler is a bad idea, but it should be fine as long as they're weaker right?
Johan left his dumb debug events in the public releaseWhy did he do that?
>>2217979Sounds quite bizarreKnow anything about the UK requirements?
>>2217980You will get their dynasty, and probably a personal union depending on inheritance law. But yeah in general if you have more score than them then you will be the senior in the union.>>2217982No UK formable as far as I am concerned, unless there is a flavor event down the line that changes it.
>>2217982You can form the United Kingdom once you have Northern Ireland, and the Rothschilds seize control
>>2217986>unless there is a flavor eventWith the colonies using the union flag I think we can assume there must be, otherwise that would be beyond retarded>>2217988I know you're shitposting but why would the union of England and Scotland require Irish territory or Jews?Have you forgotten your meds?
WE RULE THIS BOARD
Dixiebros...
>>2217994>I know you're shitposting but why would the union of England and Scotland require Irish territory or Jews?nta but it only became the United Kingdom by uniting with Ireland.It was the Kingdom of Great Britain. Then in 1800 it became 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland'. So Ireland is kinda needed for that.
HEY OPPUT EU5/EUV IN THE SUBJECT OR AT LEAST THE OP POST YOU FAGGOT
Can you lose antagonism if you win a coalition war?
>>2217994Acts of Union 1800 United Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland into the United Kingdom.
>>2217957I shot from 11# to #2 by going from kingdom to empire. It's kinda dumb.
>>2216859>i had to install mod for dynamic province names based on culturesLink? The one for EU4 was pretty good. Vanilla province localizations have been very lacking so far.
>>2217997ShieeeeeeeeeeeeeetAnd here I was assuming it became the United Kingdom with the first act of union
Is it just me or are no-cb wars the way to go for a lot of the time? You only lose three events worth of stability and get a little badboy. There's even a tech to make no-cb wars cheaper
>>2218000I believe it stays but the coalition dissolved for me immediately even without enforcing it as a peace goal. "There was nobody left to lead it". I assume because of the truce, as I didn't take any vassals or land.I still have some countries REEEEing at me but nothing's happened in decades.
>>2217925Reminds me of a location that just became permeantly uncolonizable in my game after a long while of sending pops there. Maybe it was because another nation had been competing with me for it for years. But it will just sit there now forever leaving an island incomplete. The pops there also seem completely unhappy yet won't migrate away despite bordering territory of two prosperous nations that accept them.
>conquer land in africa>create a new colonial nation>make my heir's wife the governor as a joke>die>now he's the consort of gambia and refuses to move to my court even though he's my rulerThe dude's awful as wellLow stats.

i've just had 4 fucking daughters in a row
>>2218012Is that bad? It was never a problem in EUIV or CK3 (unless you're some salic law losers)
two more wars and i'll be done i think...
>>2217996It's so over...
>>2218012I hope I can have this but irl someday
Alright how do I proceed from here? I've diplomaxxed for the first 30 years to make sure I don't get gobbled up by Hungary and Bulgaria, but now I want to start blobbing into the Moldovan countries before someone else blobs into them. The problem is I cannot declare war on them without dragging the Golden Horde into it. Either way I need to start improving my army as well somehow.

>>2218032If you don't fully convert both england and france to angevin, can you really call yourself an angevin empire?
>>2218032right, but would maine not also have angevin culture as well, just saying it's not historically accurate>>2218041henry II was a chad
>>2218031>Add a market centre to your capitalI have one close to my capital because it was cheaper to build there.>standing armiesCan't find it in the tech tree, where is it? While we're at it, where the hell are paved roads in the tech tree?
>>2218047yeah, maine is angevin, and anjou is angevin, but at the start of the game both maine and anjou is just one county as Anjoudon't know why, but i just kept it like that
>>2218041Fucking Henry the younger and Richard the Lionheart and BAD BAD BAD John just had to fuck it all up didn't they

>>2218056Oh. It's in Paris.
Just stopped my england campaign at 1520 due to so many bugs I was tired of them. Give me another idea, preferably another colonial country that is not in iberia.
>>2218045not sure if i'll be able to do that, but same some special event will appear once i get the whole of france? there's also a "Foster new culture" thing...
>>2218057wat
>>2217995That's not even counting the seethe threads
>>2218059bugs? like what?
>>2217939For me as Scotland I got the proper colonial flags but then they reset to generic ones after loading a save. Sometimes a few colonies will randomly flip back to the proper flags while I'm playing, no idea why.
>>2218051same happened in my game, might be an event
BLEACHED
>>2218063mainly colonial bugs, like flag flipping, colonies switching their capital to shitholes where they have no proximity etc.>>2218064yeah same here, they became generic after loading a save.
>>2218054Literally how does this even happen.
>>2218059Imperial japan
>>2218066more like muttifiedit's a signyour country will become brownone drop rule, etc.
anyway to calculate my credit limit? i would really like to know how much debt i can sit in. i've had sudden event pop ups that forces me to spend money i don't have, and while i thought i still had enough credit for more loans it caused bankruptcy and i had to reload my save right now i'm just playing it safe with 2 loans but it's really bothering me that i'm losing out on opportunity cost because i'm not borrowing as much as i could be
>>2218059majapahit is strong as fuck and starts colonizing pretty fast and easily when the non-european exploration rule is enabled, maybe try them
>>2218066What would get into a white guy's head to make him attracted to this?
>>2218066wtf i want this event
>>2218074Control reset
Looking good!
>>2218080you wouldn't get it
My 1444 run. Surprisingly stable, except Denmark, England and Scotland are ruled by a portuguese dynasty.
>>2218079I think you can still explore and colonize when non-european exploration and colonization is disabled. It just means the AI won't do it so in a way it can give you an edge.
So many ziggers in this thread
>>2218078Based bongoloid credit loverIsn't it about your estates wealth, which makes it highly unstable because it relies on their total retardation?
>>2218087I think Russia is a shithole but also hate how the progression of eastern europe is ruined right now to appease insane nationalists of the other shithole.
>>2218066>Racial cuckoldry officially in the game
>>2218078If you hover the mouse button it tells you the amount of float your estates have left in ducats
What are the requeriments for voting rights within the HRE? I mean voting for laws, not the Emperor election. Do only those states listed in the overview in any of the categories free cities, prelates and princes get to vote? I'm playing as a swiss minor and I don't have the option to vote for anything.
>>221808010 months of raping a guy in the barrel
>>2218088>>2218094the banks are taking over the loans, and i can't see how much the banks have i think
>>2218078>right now i'm just playing it safe with 2 loans but it's really bothering me that i'm losing out on opportunity cost because i'm not borrowing as much as i could beAlso worth noting that:1. Your credit limit is dynamic, and will continue to grow even while you're in debt. You don't ever have to repay your loans as long as your estates are rich enough2. You lose crown power based on the number of active loans you have. IMO it's worth generally staying at or close to 0 loans unless you're making an extremely profitable investment - particularly at the start of the game where the number of estate privilages makes getting over 25% crown power difficult
>>2218098>>2218099The number is the remaining amount you can take in loans. It doesn't matter who the debt gets sold to
>>2218083Everywhere I have built a bank or a market!
Anybody done a Russia run so far?
there is no city sprawl and unit models in my gamehow do i get them?
>>2218105no one
>>2218099i'm sitting at exactly 25% crown power... anyway interest is a crazy 7% so i'm not going to risk it too much until it goes down later on with tech
>>2218105impossible. they took russia out of the game basically to appease the ukraine
>>2218107terrain map mode and not flat map
>>2218107Buy the unit pack DLC
which county in europe has the largest amount of jews so I can create the heavenly jerusalem
Anyone know when we're getting the "songs of the aboriginals" song pack for $5.99?
>>2218107There is city sprawl, it's just transparent in certain map modes
For me, it's having dozens and dozens of my dynasty characters coming to age and marrying into literally every monarchy. At this point I think it's only a handful where I don't have someone ready to be brought to the throne in a generation or two. Bohemia with PUs with all European majors before 1400 is getting ridiculous lelAlso the culture assimilation council order is hilariously broken. I think the more different cultures in an area, the more it works, so if there's 4+ different cultures in an area that are outside the one you have (me being Czech for example, target area has 5 non-czech) then you get an easy 2% a month at least of culture conversion, which increases your cultural strength, which just makes the whole process easier down the line. If you have a shit ton of tiny minority pops in your capital it just converts basically all of them in less than a year. Prague is the capitol of earth
>>2218105Yeah, so far I've lost my legs and 3 onions and a bag of grains doesn't seem like a good tradeI'm trying to unlock the heterosexuality innovation at the moment but it's just not progressing
>Start annexing Norway as Sweden>It takes almost 400 yearsThis game can't be for real
>>2218118i kind of would like some diversity in the game. having to appease different ethnic pops is fun, converting them into some amorphous blob is unrealistic and less fun imo
>>2218121Why dont you make it go faster?
>>2218115Ethiopia
>>2218105Russia is turbocucked somehow and yet Kyiyv is just massive and never breaks from the GHI say find a mod which significantly boosts Russia because as is it's clearly not working as intended unless they intended to fuck over the sons of Rurik deliberately
>>2218121Yes, Unions are more 'realistic' meaning they suck and take forever to integrate. Just figure out a way to break it and then beat them up the old fashioned way
Is this the end of the Golden Horde?Fighting Eretnids+vassal horde and Muscovy+Georgia.
>>2218118I did the same and I noticed that I have cousins literally everywhere. My grandson is the heir to Austria, but I'm not strong enough to claim throne them
>>2218119kek
>>2218105I tried but got filtered too hard. Its probably fine but I switched to Norway instead for the tutorials the recommended countries come with. I'll give muscovy a second shot afterwards.Though I imagine control will be a right pain in the ass as russia
>>2218119This is ZIGGA territory. Watch your mouth.
>>2218085>meets requirements to form Romania>doesn't
I got a painting of your mom.
>>2218123Wouldn't be surprised if they completely gut assimilation in the first major update.
>>2218129I think annexing is just slow in general. Iceland will take me 70 years a norway lmao
>Golden Horde survivedHow??
Is it just me or is the monthly development from ceremonialism completely insane?
>>2218006It was. Paradox is just retarded and saved the tag for after Ireland.
>>2218146golden horde is fucking unbreakable. way too stable
>>2218137My mum's not called amelia though?
LMAOGolden horde converted a bunch of random provinces to Mongolian and after they got conquered rebels rose up and swore allegiance to Koke Temur from China
>>2218146>Kyivsnake
>>2218150From a quick cursory glance I think they are right, it became the Kingdom of Great Britain for all official purposesIt was definitely called the United Kingdom by people but I don't think it was the actual title till 1800, or have they hoodwinked me?
>>2218151They need to tune that whole region. Muscovy and the others are piss poor at consolidating and the Horde is stable despite the events
>>2218136I like the flag of Wallachia more.
>>2218158get droned zigger
>>2218068>i quit my campaign because of colonial bugs>recommend me another coloniser to play?
Is anyone at the stage of late game global warfare yet? Nobody is invading china, India, Russia, SEAmonkeyland and Africa all at the same time while losing hundreds of thousands to attrition yet?
>>2218052>and BAD BAD BAD John just had to fuck it all upTrue, Arthur of Brittany should have become the King of England, instead.>>2217997>Kingdom of Great Britain>United Kingdom of Great Britain and IrelandThose are such gay names. I wish King George would have accepted the title of "Emperor" that the Parliament were trying to give him, thus the official name was "Empire of Britannia", as should have been.
>>2218151It's supposed to collapse after losing it's entire army, but the AI peaces out for like 200 ducats and 1 province.So it never ever collapses.
>>2218013no, daughters are personal union material
Every big country is way too stable, that's the biggest problem with the game and a common one for Paradox games.Hungary, Naples, Mamluks, GH, I haven't seen those countries lose once.
>>2218161I don't care if Kyiv condsolidates, Muscovy is just the historical example you retard

>>2218165To be fair to BAD BAD BAD king John he was handed an absolute dumpster fire to deal withIt's not just that he wasn't a good king, he was in a time when they needed a great king. At least he had the Marshal to prop him up

>>2218156hoodwinked, it was referred to specifically as the "united kingdom of great-britain"It makes no sense for it be called as such only after ireland since it quite literally vaporised the scottish throne, uniting both england and scotland.It's quite literally just tag nonsense. The legislation itself even uses united kingdom and great-britain interchangeably.
I don't want to continue my run as Italy, I feel I've learned enough and now I got some mods to try.What do you recommend?
>>2218184>I'm the strongest silesian nation>I'm the strongest pig in the sausage factory, I can't be killed
>>2218173Nah, John was a retard. He treated his family like dirt and had zero tact with his subjects and political allies, thing that but him in the ass in the long run.
>>2218188>mods to trythere arent any
>>22181851450 or so. Landsknechte vs their levies, but I had no artillery.

guysI'll be switching to this on Tuesdayhttps://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-14600KF&id=5722how back am I?for comparison I've been using an i5-6600K since 2015
>>2218186I double checked and you're definitely right, it even does so throughout the act of 1707I never should have trusted those goons or 5 seconds of Google, thanks anonFucking paradox
>>2218188England or any of the Iberian nations. They're both backwards shitholes in their own way with a lot of potential. If you want to have some fun you can really dig into the hundred years war. Vassals are useless atm though. Can't transport allied units on your ships.
Am I supposed to accept cultures other than my own? Sounds pretty gay and woke, right?I'm Naples and noticed I had m*dians in my borders so I started descriminating against them but now they're organizing a revolt.I can probably just crush them (and personally that's what I'd prefer to do) but is the minmax strat you're supposed to be tolerance and accepting of as many cultures as you can?
>>2218184Godspeed, but if there's anything the Polish, Czechs, and Germans can agree on is Silesia is better under their loving care.
>>2218190Oh no I'm not saying John wasn't a shit king, but even being a good king when he got the throne would have been a fucked situation, they needed someone truly greatHe treated William Marshal like dogshit while he was basically holding his realm together for him lmao, he was an asshole and the barons were right (for the most part)
>>2218196>not AMDdump it
>>2218184See if you can take that one estate privilege that settles Germans in your land.
>>2218199Cultural capacity is a resource you should be spending generally.
>>2218203anon, the brand isn't going to be what does the calculations
>bank of bardi joined coalition against mewhat are they going to do? fund 50 mercenaries?

Looking sexy.On another note, does Balliol have the same content as Scotland? Has anybody played them yet? What goes on with Balliol?
>John "faggot with no land"Are all of these nicknames posthumous by later historians or were his men calling him that.
>>2218209No idea but the faggots are now my useless vassals for the exact same reasons. Fuck around and find out.
>>2218215I assume they inherit all of scottland's DHEs plus some more
>>2218215I haven't played them, but they get into a civil war thing with Scotland and get beat to pulp in all my games. My guess would be if you win as Baliol you become Scotland
>>2218215>What goes on with Balliol?They die 10 years in. Eventually Scotland pisses of England one too many times and gets gaped hardcore style.
>>2218216Many are post humorous but in John's case I'm pretty sure he was mocked as lackland because he wasn't going to inherit fuck all, and the name stuck even harder when he lost loads of land as kingSo definitely contemporary in his case
>turns out there's a literacy map>my pops have the lowest literacy in Western EuropeAny strats for fixing this? Or is literacy a meme?
>>2218224Get your niggas to read books
>>2218223>post humorouslol, lmao even
>>2218210Mali owned all of west africa then collapsed and spit out a few independent tags, so not full tribal, but they still had no institutions and I imagine every non euro country will have all non-institutions military techs researched the same way.
>>2218224nah literacy is a meme in this gamewho want's their peasants to think in the first placejust ignore the tech tree because technology wasn't even important during the 500 years this game takes place injust build more roads bro
>>2218170>>2218172>>2218176>>2218183ziggers will go back to being irrelevant balkan states inshallah
>>2218227Yeah it's still completely retarded, again I guess it's a little bit better it wasn't a literal stateless tribal uprising but that doesn't sit well with me all the sameBetter correct itself later on, euros should be rolling these savages
>>2218133>Though I imagine control will be a right pain in the ass as russiaIt's not actually that bad because Russia is covered in rivers which are better than roads, though they only work downstream and most of the developed areas at the start are upstream of Moscow so it might be better to move your capital to somewhere like Tver.
Help me understand because maybe I'm retarded. Why is there 3 sources for jewelry but then it shows 2? And there's 5 demand but there's only 2 with a green tick there too.Am I misunderstanding or is there no real good way to see how much of a good you are getting in your economy total vs how much you are losing (from use in buildings, exports etc.) just a raw number of total goods. And I was somehow lacking 20 wool a few months ago so I expanded an RGO and started importing 1 trade capacity of wool and somehow that fulfilled the lack of wool? There's no way that added up to 20 extra wool a month
nice
>>2218232I think maybe you have two market villages or two jeweler's guilds?That particular tooltip isn't very useful I usually need to go into my trade tab and look at the goods balance there*Hey this is a good specific suggestion on where the UI could use improvement!
we wacky tabacky now
Cornwallo delenda est
>>2218228Is there even any benefit to building roads once a state already has one that connects it to the quickest road to the capital? Any point whatsoever to connecting a region to every single neighbor?
>>2218238I wish they'd add the road overlay from Imperator because then you can build roads to make kino lines on the map
>>2218236Eh mayne you funny englischmen wanna have a shmoke n shit?
>>2218238Roads also improve movement speedIn fact, when building roads you can switch between cost, proximity and distance depending on what you want to prioritize
>>2218232Go to markets and click on your market. You can check the good and one column tells you the surplus or deficit
>>2218235I have 6 jeweler's guilds and 0 market villages actually, huh. Does that mean only 2 of those jewelers guilds are outputting?
Just spoke with JohanApparently they have a Kyiv dlc planned for next year but they don't want to announce anything yetComes with a muscovy nerf too
where are parliament laws? i can't find the tech am i retarded
>>2218244I'm waiting for the Customization DLC so I can start a game with custom Kiev nation and the immediately switch tags to Muscovy
Anybody played Sweden yet?
>>2218244Fucking BASED. Millions of Rusnigs will leak from their clitties as Ruthenian BVLLS kill the Golden Horde
>>2218242ah thats exactly what i was looking for thanks
border gore enjoyers?
>>2218112damnit sucks that you can't see them in flat map mode like eu4
yay or nay
They should add a mapmode for countries with more content.
>>2218255insane take, why add details to the mapmode designed to be clear and free from detail?
basically if you have burghers in your top left panel at the start you are not a man but a baby that thinks he deserves to get all the toys and candy instantly and without effort
>>2218255If you want garbage on the map just disable the mode that makes it clean and removes the garbage. Simple as
>>2218258There's literally an option in the country selection screen to sort tags by flavor
>>2218230>Better correct itself later on, euros should be rolling these savagesIn reality though that didn't happen until the invention of the machine gun. West and East African armies were fully capable of holding their own against European ones in the EU period. The reason Euros never pushed far inland wasn't just malaria, it's because they needed to rely on their navies to successfully fight the natives.
I'm scared to play outside of Europe. Am I going to get tech? Is colonial Japan even possible?
>>2218260Strong men are born strong.
>>2218263Sorry anon but nobody came close to Europeans by the 17th century, let alone the 18th or 19th
>you can only build plantations on overseas colonial subjects>if the AI doesn't RNG itself into researching the tech you will never be able to build themThat's fucking STUPID
>>2218215They become Scotland but with a different flag
>>2218264>Am I going to get tech?You start with meritocracy, which euros don't get until later in the game. Some of the later institutions can also spawn in Asia if you meet the trigger conditions>Is colonial Japan even possible?Very
>changing to republic requires 95 plutocracyhow do you even get this much?
>>2218264yes. i'm currently playing korea and its comfy.
>>2218244yeah I spoke with him too he said the first DLC to come out in a few months will be TND
>>2218264no you wont, because you rely on automation and dont understand how 2/3 of the game work
>>2218272You started a revolution and guillotine all the nobles
>>2218257I have left it to off but I realise for the HRE it might be a mistake
>1 week post release>not a single person has made it to revolutionary erawhat the fuck were they thinking making a game that takes this long. the fact that no one has completed a playthrough yet speaks volumes to how bloated this game is.
>>2218266those who have nothing else to offer always talk about their blood
>>2218146What year is it? I usually see them fall apart mid-1400s
>>2218280That's an incredibly modern idea. In the time periods depicted in the game people were obsessed with pedigree and their ancestors.
>>2218264Tech comes at a good enough pace. Institutions don't take that long to move east.
>>2218279I would have had a maya game in the revolutionary era by now if I didn't get completely bricked by court and countryIt's fucked that the maya can't build standing armies like the aztecs
>>2218286retards (aristocracy who got their status through violence).thankfully they were replaced by the sheer economic power of citizens (people who lived and worked in cities)
>>2218267I'm not saying that Europe wasn't more advanced, but the reality is that early modern armies up until the invention of the machine gun were not actually that much more effective than medieval armies. Not to say they weren't better (obviously) but it wasn't usually enough to make up for the disadvantages of waging war halfway across the world. Plus a lot of African (and Asian) states had plenty of access to guns anyways and in many cases had modern military tactics too. What they didn't have was galleons and frigates, Europeans for the most part won the early colonial wars by barraging coastal cities into submission, not by fighting actual battles.
>>2218299spearchuckers had no armor, no tactics, crude stone weapons - and you expect me to believe they couldnt win against knights with longswords, crossbows, and 600 years of european military experience?
>>2218268For me they have the tech for plantations but for some reason despite exporting hundreds of slaves to the Caribbean they never actually have more than like a dozen pops. I don't know if it's bugged or if my colony somehow banned slavery or what.
>>2217845Hussite is decent

>turks already converting to christianityJust how often does this happen?
>>2218310literally every fucking time. broken piece of shit AI
>>2218310probably just some stupid AI logic because of the majority population religion therethey need to be hardcoded to be jihadcore
>>2218299>not much more effective than medievalOh come the the fuck on anon, that is literally crazy speakAnd yes, institutionally, technologically and massively in terms of doctrine modern European forces, particularly of the 18th and 19th century (ie pre machine guns) were world's apart from what anyone else could field, even those peoples with large manpower reserves to draw upon
>>2218310AI seems to be too keen to convert.>>2218313Ya,I think it would make sense for ai to never convert unless forced to. Other than to protestant in age of reformation I guess
Getting ready to declare on Sicily hopefully later this year. I'm watching the EU5 video on Military now while taking my breakfast. Is there anything I should know before starting? Do you all think I can win this war? Sicily is being guaranteed by Aragon and the Papal States. Should I wait longer or strike now? Kinda nervous it's my first war in this game but I guess, what's the worst that could happen, right?
oh yeah love me some default_quebec_area_scripted_country_name Nobles revoltfuck sake whole colonization gameplay sours my feelings towards this game

>>2218332Best way to get gold as England? Foreign fucking NIGGERS keep wrecking my trades and they come from markets I can't build trade posts in.

>>2218343>>2218345They add various different goods and have a lot of goods, but more importantly each of them gives 50 soldier pops which increase your base levies which gets very OP if you can spam them. Also market villages add trade capacity and strength
>>2218353I mean I'm importing it and then some random German state outcompetes me and the trade dies. I have no gold mines, only silver.
>>2218309it was russians actuallytrying to rewrite history as usual, zigger?
>>2218304>spearchuckers had no armor, no tactics, crude stone weaponsWest Africans had armour, tactics, and steel though (and imported guns in later centuries). The actual neolithic spear chuckers were in Southern Africa.>>2218314Again, I'm not saying that early modern armies weren't better than medieval armies, obviously. But it wasn't as massive of a gap as people think, not enough to compensate for the difficulties of intercontinental war. Having warships was the difference maker.If Ashanti had been teleported into Germany, would they have been conquered by Europeans? Almost certainly. But their army was still more than capable of holding their own against small expeditionary forces. The idea of a few European regiments beating out entire armies 10x their size was not reality until the very end of the EU timeframe. Only in America and Southern Africa (i.e. the actual stone-age armies) was that true.
>>2218352i use it and it only work for 1 out of 10-20 provinces. like, you have Ontario and Andawaohie next to it - still undercooked. I just cant comprehed how Paradox omissed a basic feature that was in EU4, that is basic dynamic colonial province renaming

It's like the only legitimate reason why the letter Q should exist in the latin alphabet, because it stands for a sound that doesnt even exist in any aryan language outside of iranian (yes I say aryan instead of indo-european)
>>2218378why your map looks funky ?
I am enjoying the comfy slower pass and large map, but it be nice if in the future they add one or two extra start dates. Maybe at age of exploration and absolutism? Maybe they will add them as part of whatever DLC focuses on those eras

how do i ask to improve racial relations?greeks are so racist to me even though i like them
>>2218385Bash their brains in then make them stop being gayreek
How do you guys use bailiffs? I don't really get the whole point of them, you're paying 200 ducats to strengthen the nobles and get +20% control, and you can't even build them in a city. There's just not much profit to be had, even on a silver or gold location.
>>2218385get favours from them and then use the friendly interaction tab
>>2218390>How do you guys use bailiffs?I thought they were supposed to function as another source of radiating control but the two I built only affect the provinces they're in, so I don't bother with them.
>>2218390you get more proximity, not control. so build it in places that are far from the capital., and control spreads from there. cities have more control, so you should build them in rural areas anyway

>>2218404yes
>only one tin province in all of north americafuck my chungus life
>>2218401Magyars are a turkic tribe
>>2218356Wait, soldier pops impact levies? I thought it was just a percentage of total pops scaled to control?
>>2218406WHAT
>>2218414BAILIFFS ACT AS A PROXIMITY SOURCESO USE THEM IN AREAS FAR FROM THE CAPITAL
>>2218412Anon... Who do you think is more likely to become a levy?
>>2218419>BAILIFFS ACT AS A PROXIMITY SOURCEbig if true
>>2218421small if false
>>2218412I don't know if it changes the amount but different pops give different levies. It's why as England you have a gorillion longbowmen then a smaller number of mailed knights and footmen.
rate my 1444
>>2218360>the end of the EU time frameThe 18th and 19th century where they did exactly that, and so should be represented in gameEven more so when as a player you can have potentially massive armies, like those that were in Europe rampaging around the rest of the world, where they should be entirely indisputableAnd the gap was huge anon, not just because of equipment but because of logistics and institutions allowing for the massing of much larger populations of men in good order about the place. It wasn't just machine guns or breech loaders or hell even the enemies limited access to firearms, it was the invitational knowledge to raise, drill and use those innovations with the men they had, something nobody has ever caught up to the west with besides a couple individual nations for flash in the pan moments (after putting their whole focus into westernising their nations). I do agree that naval supremacy was also massive but that's a different kettle of fish (even if it draws its water from the same well)Regardless of all this, even in that original post anon shouldn't be scraping a win with a 2:1 manpower advantage in the 15th century, he should have absolutely rolled that battle

How do I smash cornwall and take their shit?
>>2218430My grease is full of fr*much and catalans...
>>2218433by the way, baillifs are NOT additivemeaning though they add 20 proximity, if your location is already closer than 20 proximity, it will not go to 40. and if it has, say, 15 proximity, it will only add 5.
>Sweden as lesser partner with me (Norway) in union>Denmark kicked out ass last time so I built alliances and defensive league to counter balance them>Denmark attacking Sweden doesn't make me war leader and so all my allies are uselesslmao. My fault for not inviting Sweden in the defensive league too I guess but I think my run is toast now. Norway seems like an interesting choice for a recommended country desu, not sure why they didnt make it Sweden instead
>>2218434>their shitthey're a bunch of sheep shaggers. they've got nothing
>>2218430They seriously need to tone down assimilation.
>>2218440because Norway can colonize the earliest of any european nation, that's all
>>2218442I seriously need ass
>>2218441They have mines and there's a silver mine in their zone of anti-influence. My other silver mine is in Wales.
>>2218439that's better than 0 though at least..
>>2218425Pretty good, actually, very good. Shame about the kyeef though.

is this script or is it because i built a fuck ton of papermakers

>>2218475>chinese civil warthat explains it
>>2218478I made the same mistake. You are probably accidentally converting them TO christianity.When you do the cabinet action, you pick the religion you want to convert to, not the one your converting.

>>2218484Nta but how do you get the option to do this? I only get an option like this with culture. I can only convert to my religion.

anyone been playing with allow colonization to everybody? do shithole nations expand at all with this rule?
What do these numbers mean?Do they have 20k regulars or 2k?

>>2218475In my first game it came to London, killed 100 people, then disappeared as soon as I blamed the jews. Came back a few months later though.
Anyone have experience with the "being able to colonize significantly weaker tags" thing yet?
>>2218378>why it gives you monthly prestige toodoes it? prestige gives cultural influence

Anyone bother with educating their children? I always keep it on balanced
>>2218518if you want to larp as a hick you have do downgrade all cities in your country back to villages at the startbut you wont, because you are a hypocrite
>>2218503I've turned debug on to investigateThey have:>18.5k levies raised (their max)>2.3k regulars>1.2k mercPlus 17k manpowerSo it seems levies are counted twice if they are raised.
>>2218532I always educate them and it definitely makes a difference, but I wish you could just set a default setting since I always do the same thing. Heir or prodigy = expensive, everyone else = based on personality.I'd rather it just be a law you set that adds modifiers automatically, I have an xbox hueg dynasty so I have to click the alert really often.
>>2218533I don't need to LARP in game because I already don't live in a city irl ;) nice try though
>>2218468you can see the institution spawn conditions, there's a historical province which always get a chance but then other factors like making certain amounts of goods with certain society levels etc gets you a chance too. i got it in my game in amsterdam because i had a shitload of paper and book manufacturing
>>2218621Printing Press spawned in Syria in my game and fucked over Europe for a while, it was annoying because Mamluks was a total shithole with no control over the region it appeared inThe worst part is you need the Printing Press to build PAVED ROADSMy burghers all the way in norf fc are like>fookin luv me roads made 'a sandfor 100 years before someone prints the first issue of The Daily Mail featuring an article about "walkin on rocks innit"
>>2218779Do you know what the spawn conditions for it are? I might try to meme it in my persia run
>>2218869Apparently it's this>University>Produces at least 5 Paper>Over 1000 Burghers population>Country's societal values are at least 20 towards Innovative>Renaissance institution presentwhich is pretty easy to get as any country with a city, just need to grab Renaissance and research universities. The hard part will be the RNG that might spawn it somewhere else.
>>2218886Yeah that's 100% worth going for, cool
Post your face when>PAIN IS SALVATION
>>2218426>Even more so when as a player you can have potentially massive armies, like those that were in Europe rampaging around the rest of the world, where they should be entirely indisputableThis is true but I think this is kind of like saying as the player I can be making half a million ducats monthly so I should be able to buy out entire countries. In reality this would've been impossible so it doesn't make sense to depict in game even if making an absurd amount of money is something you can do. Similarly shipping tens of thousands of soldiers around the world also would've been impossible so I think it makes sense for the game to portray it as an unviable strategy even if you can actually pull it off in game.>Regardless of all this, even in that original post anon shouldn't be scraping a win with a 2:1 manpower advantage in the 15th century, he should have absolutely rolled that battlelol, west african militaries were hardly even behind europe in the 15th century
>>2218779>>2218779It's a game rule. You can make institutions spawn in their historical locations or anywhere that meets the requirements.
>>2219587>lol, west african militaries were hardly even behind europe in the 15th centuryNTA and I agree but, in game, what makes west africans different than any other people that *should* be behind Europe? AFAIK they all have access to the same techs, barring a handful of cultural and regional advances.
>>2219608The fact that they don't get institutions until much later than Europe and all tech progress is locked behind having institutions. But that isn't a very relevant factor in the first hundred years or so.
What's the benefit of infantry from later periods beyond unit size?Men at arms and halberd guys seem to have pretty similiar stats? (or my brain is too smooth to understanding anything other than Strength).If that with thing meant that more men in a unit is the best, does that mean that 1000 man peasant levy bands are king?
>>2218426You're a clueless retard fed retarded history by retarded pop "historians" without a shred of knowledge of what you're talking about. Kill yourself or educate yourself, I don't care which, just stop being another retard polluting the planet there's already enough of you lot.
>>2220735professional armies shred levies so there's definitely something going on besides the stats
