How do horses cope with war?
Speaking of the rice issue, do pops demand just grain in general and so don't care whether its wheat or rice or do they demand specific goods?
sending all my greenlanders to the americas right nowwe taking over
>uhm actually Free Subjects push is bad because of the lev-A MUSKET IN EVERY HOME
>>2224657Specific goods. The gane doesn't have alternatives like vic3
>>2224657I think it's based on market access. If they have access to rice within the market, they'll demand rice as part of their basic needs in addition to maize/wheat/grains
>>2224663that seems like an easy fix unless its solved by culture
>>2224655Practice.And they're basically one time use.You trick the horse that it's just a game in training and it will think so when it's actually real.If they survive they also get PTSD and most will refuse to do that shit again.
>>2224659post pics of your new hyperborea
>>2224648i need advice from japanfags:what the fuck do you do about all the clans? last time i wiped them all out during the sengoku period but a shitload of their armies were left standing around without a country, cluttering up my map and giving me a fucking seizure because they kept flashing as exiled/non-exiled.
>>2224657>they demand specific goodsThey do, and it's stupid.>bwaaah I want riceWe're in ICELAND
>>2224669I couldn't play Japan because all the daimyo armies caused massive performance issues if they were on screen, on the level of EU4 revoked HRE
>>2224674I would really like the ability to toggle those off. Also the wars are impossible to end unless you just wait for the timer to tick them into a white peace
>>2224674Try playing in Southwestern China next
I want to like this game but I play fast, so I'm already on my 3rd run (yes i've made it to end game 2 times) and seeing the AI get stuck in the same ruts is pissing me off.Basically nothing ever happens after, 1400~ or so. The game is really fun but this is a huge downside. Is there a setting or mod that can fix it?
>>2224667But then if it's a long campaign how do they restock on horses while on the move?
>>2224657They just want the traditional English dish of Paella
THE BLACK DEATH HALVED MY POPULATION AND -50d MY INCOME
>>2224665Hence it'll be fixed in an upcoming weekly hotfix patch.
Do you get leather or something from Wild Game RGO, or is just really shitty food production?
>>2224669>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imjin_WarDo what Toyota Honda did IRL.
There fucking BETTER be ae mod out by tomorrow that lets you permanently turn off the notifications at the top and saves the state of your outlier so that I don't have to spend 5 minutes turning off completely worthless pieces of dogshit information every fucking time I load a save
Estates aren't dynamic/interactive enough. The privileges you give to them are way too 'fake' and aren't represented accurately by modifiers. Also where did the mission tree disappear to?
>>2224669You need to throw them at Korea
>>2224684I think you need tanneries which are a town building. Input for tanneries does come from wild game though.
>>2224669I think that was fixed with 1.0.2? Maybe?
>>2224692>Also where did the mission tree disappear to?
>>2224678They have like a dozen horses eachTHIS is why Knights were so expensive and that entire feudalism thing developed btw.Some horses are of course just built different and don't care.
Any reason this does not flip over to a core?
>>2224692>Also where did the mission tree disappear to?to hell where they belong
>>2224697>>2224701Huhit was there before, in EU5, Ive seen it, but now its gone
>>2224682You got this big in 10 years?
>>2224701Sorry for wanting a modacum of historicity in my game instead of random impossible slop every game
>>2224693How? When i played as the shogunate i could only keep 10 or so as vassals and when i ran as yamato i had to wipe em all, but a bunch of them had leftover armies i couldn't do anything with because their countries no longer exist.
>>2224705LMAO
>>2224703You mean the tutorial missions you have to enable in the game rules that disable achievements?
>>2224692This is something they could improve upon from M&T. I can't remember them all but>you could call on nobles to increase your legitimacy, refill levees, or get a really good general>burgers could just flat out give you money and help with development Also it was amazing because if you had low crown power and got invaded you could call them to help. And the stronger they were the more soldiers they fought with
>>2224705this was done by weights in the AI behavior, not mission trees
>>2224682you sure it's not your -34 stability and all your estates hating you?
>>2224712the nobles and burgers already fulfill these roles in this game, bolstered further by privileges
>>2224705>a modacum of historicity*blocks your path*
>>2224698Damn, the more you know.
>>2224695no, this was just last night and i'm on .2
>>2224677people were saying putting the AI on hard/very hard makes it better
>>222470460? Hungary and Lithuania fought most of my wars + I RNGd into inheriting the little orthodox state at the bottom. If you ignore Boheima, Polska is easy + Teutonic Order is insanely weak. There's no 'my ally made me fight too many wars' limit in EU5 like in other games>>2224715I think so, checked the modifiers and it seems I have too many dead Burgers who only promote at a rate of 60 but I need 10s of thousands of them everywhere
>>2224705This is what nobody seems to understand. Half of the historical behavior in EU4 is caused by missions giving PU CB's and PermaClaims that nudge the AI in historical or at least plausible paths.
>>2224677I don't think there's much you can do as of now other than wait for the inevitable updates and AI improvement mods.
>all my locations have over 1000 popsWHAT THE FUCK
>>2224726That can be done with events not dumb ass mission trees
im a drunk chud is this enough economics to survivei own most of italty btw
>>2224724Black Death should appear around 1346 or so. Do you mean it fired normally and then you played, or what? Or did it fire after 50 years for some reason?
>>2224726Completely wrong. Did you never play EU4 before that crap was added?
>>2224733Theres a setting to randomize the time it appears
>>2224721>>2224708to clarify, pic rel is what i mean. i wiped out every single clan, but you can see a bunch of their armies just standing there, and they're all like this, uninteractable. i don't even know where they came from.
>>2224734>Did you never play EU4 before that crap was added?I started playing EU4 in 2022 (21? 23?) because that's when it really exploded in popularity with youtubers like redhawk and laith gaining traction.
>>2224699Are you Portugal?
>>2224737>I started playing the game because of youtubers Fucking grim
>>2224682>that snake to the black seaBlobtard mind is truly an enigma
>>2224744Theres no one else to conquer
>>2224744Isnt that accurate to how EU4 poland usually ends up
>>2224744to me nothing will beat this masterpiece from the last thread
>>2224737That's like 5 years after mission trees were addedHow can you speak so confidently when you only played the game during its later half of development
>>2224743I got into paradox games in 2020 with CK3's launch because a few of my friends were hyped about it, so I checked it out. Then while watching CK3 videos I got recommended EU4 videos too and the game instantly looked more fun than CK3. I watched videos for half a year almost daily, it was an obsession. Then I actually got the courage to try the game myself and ended up loving it.
>>2224740yeah obviously
>>2224749>dood you have to have played the games for 7000 hours dood you gotta be a nolife like me to understand it
>>2224682What the fuck are those coastlines you nigger
>>2224729Did you completely depopulate your peasants?
>>2224729it seems they aren't your culture or religion
>>2224748Its really amusing seeing newfriends going into this game with a EU4/CIV games mindset and getting reality checked>why no tax in my province :(
>>2224752No idea. Show Culture screen.
>>2224719Damn the water looks so much better in euiv, and why are eu5 colours so muted
>>2224754Trying to control trade while minimizing revolts
>>2224748the -6.75 really makes this image
>>2224753You're just leaking from your clitty at this point
>>2224753I never mentioned played hours, retard
>>2224762its 62% portuguese, it should have flipped a while ago
>>2224730A mission is just an event you choose when to complete
>win Hussite Wars>force convert all my vassals to Hussite>check religious map a year later>all my vassals converted back to Catholicismwhat the fuck was the point in converting them if they were just gonna change back immediately
Remember to invite settlers to your capital only
>>2224753>Dood I need my mission trees because i'm a dimwit who can't think for himself
Defensive Leagues seem hilariously brokenIf you can make one at the start with a nation then you're basically guaranteed to never fight them for the rest of the game, and it seems like the AI will never leave them either
My capitol is full of JewsHow do I fix this
>>2224774The AI currently has a huge problem where they convert to whatever is the dominant culture and religion in their nation, this is why you see so many people talking about Greek and Orthodox Ottomans among other things like a HRE emperor who enforced his religion in the league war forcing people to convert to his religion, just for them to instantly swap back to whater is the majority in their nation. Or in your case, AI Bohemia converting to Hussite but then instantly swapping back to Catholic because it's the majority religion
I have a massive wheat surplus and these niggas are on their knees begging for rye and sorghum for some reason.
>>2224774AI VILL convert to the majority of its pops religion, no matter what>create a vassal as ottomans in anatolia>give it to my osman cousin>some years later realise its now called county and not a beylik>the ruler is now a greek of Palaiologos dynastyI guess what happened is that some time before, the osman ruler converted to orthodox and died without heir so the Palaiologos dynasty inherited the "county". This game is so wacky in places
>>2224781Culture convert everyone there to Jewish then release them as a subject so you get your own Israel, duh
Has anyone else played in the Baltic and noticed the gulf of Riga gives winter attrition year round? I'm within naval range and even have a core area with a port connected to it. I'm not sure if it's a bug or some obscure mechanic I'm not seeing.
>>2224774Force convert is literally useless. Just take chunks and vassalizing them and forcing them into your culture/religion is the path. I have half of Italy as hussite right now from it
>>2224748>I hate slavs so god damn much christbros you would not believe
>>2224737holy newfag
>>2224788T city of London
Anyone noticed that all the jew pops disappear after a century or so? What did Johan mean by this?
has someone figured out how the proximity formula really works?despite the sum of modifiers being a negative percentage I still get some proximity costalso, does Golden Horde implode consistently or is it 50:50?
>>2224796>T
>RGO with a resource I have a shortage off is in a shithole with 2000 pops total.I blame the black death for this. Even in 1500.Also any logic behind that "free land" modifier for pop growth, some places it's "abundant" and in others it's not.
>>2224801You can promote migration to that location
>>2224774>>2224782>tfw AI is rational and technocratic instead of Genocidal and pursuing some agenda
>>2224801encourage migration bwo
>>2224798Golden horse never implodes because they never lose their doomstack
>playing purple>thought to take Wallachia and fortify those mountain passes to have an impenetrable northern frontie>Basileus, you're a genius>the Hungarian coalition armies just walk down the mountain pass completely ignoring my castles and start sieging the lowlandsHow the FUCK did paradox design zones of control this time
>>2224763to each their own, but to me the average eu4 map ends up looking like moldy oatmeal on my kitchen counter
>>2224671*Riceland
>>2224798>does Golden Horde implode consistently or is it 50:50?They implode maybe in like 1 in 8 games. They get rebels constantly but it doesnt to anything to their integrity. They sometimes implode ONLY if their main army gets wiped because they are an army based country
>>2224677I'm not even in the 1400s yet
>>2224807I've seen AI walk through forts more in this game than in EU4, trying to figure it out as well
I'm drunk playing eu5
Max control normal should be 100It should be decreased by problems like 'no road to capital' and estate ownershipthese problems should all be solvable but take a while to do soControl being 15 max in 1450 makes the game too uninteractive, they should flip the values functionality upside down
How do you open the console?
>>2224802>>2224805Can you combine that "expel people" from another peasant filled province for wombo combo loads of pops?
>>2224736anyone have any idea for this? actually disasterous for my authentic player experience.
>>2224818You need to add -debug_mode to launch options and press the button beside 1
>>2224818The pleb way is to add -debug_mode to launch options but you'll have to always have it enabled which is uglyThe patrician way is to add -console to launch the console on another window
is the economically optimal play to build your towns around your capital to maximize control? and use the periphery for resources
>>2224819I haven't tried it but I imagine that it would work yeah
>>2224824>plebYou mean EU5?>patricianYou mean Imperator
>>2224787It's the same with culture where vassals will just accept their majority pops rather than converting when you force culture on themIt's fucking stupid
>>2224795Its obviously bait
dundundundunDUNDUNDUNdundundundunDUNDUNDUNdundundundunDUNDUNDUN
I'm just using culture convert because it's brokenAm I wrong
>>2224831you're right, I fell for itmy bad
>>2224834broken how?
>>2224786some pops like eating different things. its retarded
bruh this unlawful land revoke bullshit they broke in the last patch ruins all the fun of playing small and tall in italy, 40 years in and bohemia borders me on 3 sides. I'm done playing in HRE until they fix this.
>>2224818Alt-F4
>>2224837.7% a month culture conversion
>>2224829>It's fucking stupidYou mean realistic?To the AI, as long as they have open culture slots, it's just getting to the same result with less resources, since accepting is easier than converting. The fact that you want epic genocide does not apply to the AI, they're just pragmatic and don't know your agenda.>>2224786Beer
>>2224823>>2224824How do you set launch options for pirated games, is there an .ini file to edit?
>>2224837Broken as in I amuse you? Broken as in a clown?
>>2224834Set one of your dudes to increase control and the other to assimilate culture on the same province for maximal effect
>>2224834you are correct>>2224837having your primary culture be the majority in a location cores it and gives you bonus control
>>2224842wait, really? thought it was super slow, like religious conversion.
>rebellion in tangieroh okay I'll just raise my levies and crush it when it spawns, it's only 1 location>raise levies>try to invade>morocco just owns the location all of the suddenWHAT THE FUCK JOHAN
>>2224844Add it to the end of the exe
>we introduced societal values that are a very deep mechanic that would significantly influence your playstyle!>there's a single set of values that is vastly superior to any other so you would always pass the very same laws and take the very same reforms, it doesn't matter who you play as and whereWhat was the fucking point even? Even the most undercooked EU4 mechanics work better than this mess.
>>2224852>>2224851>>2224850Literally set a single minister to convert culture and tell me I'm wrong
>>2224844>How do you set launch options for pirated gamesMake a shortcut for the game somewhere, like the desktop.Right click, properties, then you'll see the shortcut path as "whatever/Desktop/EU5"Just add -something on that path, after the quotation mark, with a space.
>>2224843>they're just pragmatic and don't know your agendaWhich is a terrible AI design. They should at least pretend to act like real people with agendas and values, not purely pragmatic chess engine or something
Is it possible to invite an ally to help in a civil war?I'm playing with my bf and he is about to have a massive uprising that I don't think he'll be able to stomp out
Whats the building to increase Pop conversion?
The fact that cultural conversion is so much faster than religious conversion AND gives you cores which make both of them faster AND benefits from being majority while religion doesn't is peak retarded
>>2224861if you have favors you can call anyone into any war i'm pretty sure. it's in the influence diplo options at the very bottom
>>2224844create a shortcut for the exe and add the argument to the directory "C:/blahblahblah" -debug (or whatever the flag is)
>>2224862Clergy buildings
>>2224856I'm trans btw
So many complaints and bugs surfacing in these thread. Think I'll play in 2-3 months, thanks for QA testing for me bros
>>2224851what do you mean 'cores it'? you can culture convert instead of integrating?
>>2224861>Is it possible to invite an ally to help in a civil war?yeah
>>2224857Assimilation is faster the more control you have, so setting a second minister to increase control makes it way faster.
>>2224851oooh, instead of coring. makes sense. >>2224857haven't needed to yet, but i'll check it out.
>>2224843>You mean realistic?The button is literally "enforce culture". I am forcibly replacing their administration with a government that submits to my cultural hegemonyIf you want to give them even more liberty desire, increase cultural antagonism or massively increase the rebel threshold because of that then that's absolutely fine. Pretending that them only changing the culture of the nobility and completely accepting their old primary culture is the intended outcome of the mechanics is fucking retarded
>>2224864France never helps out but can always call me in, what gives?
>>2224856It makes sliders and piechart autists happy
ai sucks hard dicks in this game
>>2224864>>2224871I see, thank you
how do I go about building a professional army? the initial unit sizes seem too small to be worth it, should I just focus on logistic units at the start?
>>2224856It makes for varied startsAlso more interesting to influence a value over time than just picking an idea and spending imaginary points into it
Did an update just drop?
>>2224877those dicks? all mine
>>2224748Holding this much territory without control should in turn come with the rise in power of estates in those lands at the expense of the state/player
>>2224879Have more pops
>>2224825basically yeah, control and crown power are the two things you need as high as possible to extract the most out of any location's tax baseif you've got a town way fuck over with 10 control, you're not going to get much, even if it's a ducat printer on paperwith resources it's less important since it'll all get traded to where it needs to be via your market
Which tags would be best for learning military? I've learned a lot else, but still don't know military that well.
>>2224870Two related mechanics.An unintegrated province has a low control cap, regardless of other factors.After you've integrated a province (either by the cabinet action or by annexing a subject) it will automatically become a core if >50% of the pops are in your accepted cultures regardless of other factors like time of ownership or religion. Your primary culture is always accepted, and all others use cultural capacity.At the moment though, culture conversion is so fast that it's almost always just worth being genocidal. When you get cultural hegemon, it becomes even more OP
>>2224870this province has a bailiff giving the proximity (you can see the road connection doesn't propagate down there) but because it's cored it has +20% control
>>2224860>They should at least pretend to act like real people with agendas and valuesPretty much every single time in history where a military elite conquered another society they adapted to it, not the reverse, unless it involved mass migration of the conquerors into a depopulated land. I would like a more straightforward mechanic for sending colonists to flip the culture of a region, the Germans did not send professors to Germanicize the Poles, it happened as migration and colonization over centuries.
>>2224884looks like it, but no patch notes yet.
>>2224889BohemiaYou get a bit of time to prepare and then you have a showdown against the PopeOr you can go full big blue blob
Assimilation as a cabinet action should not exist, even if it wasn't op as hell.
They need to reduce the speed that cores disappear, and prevent the Emperor from bordergoring so hard with unlawful territory.

>>2224904Nothingburger once againChudcels are FEASTING
>>2224904> Later this week we'll release another small patch, and next week we'll see a bigger patch addressing over a hundred bugs.Fuck I got excited for nothing, all this does is add the render frame option
>>2224860it's extremely common for conquerers to get assimilated into the conquered when the conquerers are much fewer than the conquered
>>2224905>only 14th gpgenuinely how?
if i play in the Philippines can i feed my people pagpag?
>>2224904>no kyiv fixesbased??
>>2224889Ottomans (or a different beylik).The starting Rise of the Turks situation lets you fight lots of early wars without waiting for CBs from your parliament
>>2224881It just adds even more time waiting for something to happen in a game already completely devoid of content.
>>2224909Over centuries, not when the pie chart flips to 51% conquered culture.
>>2224875it doesn't show a popup i don't think, you have to manually go and call them in
>>2224912idk how its calculated. i was 1 wheen emperor of hre. i am being suppressed! also i can fight france+ hre single handedly
>>2224910low pop
>>2224915So if they made a button that instantly sets centralization to 100, that would be content for you? Or what
>build the Kremlin>all it does is waste 5k peasants for defensive bonuses I'll never useIt's like I'm really Russian!
>>2224905>only 60 ducats from Praguewhat the fuck are you doing
>>2224892>either by the cabinet action or by annexing a subjectI'm pretty sure they integrate eventually without doing anything, 100+ years for wrong culture, and a lot faster for accepted. Obviously the best use of your cabinet is integration but with the ottomans you get event trigger based on number of directly owned locations so its better to just hoard instead of making vassals.
>>2224909True. As we all know the Frankish, Ostrogothic and Visigothic Empires were all Roman Empire and South Slavs are the heirs of the Eastern Roman Empire.
>>2224926ive built literally everything though
>>2224905>own romekino
>>2224879the initial units are still very strong despite being small, very much worth ityou can't build too many before you get armories because you wont have the manpower generation to refill your units
can someone explain what is going on in /gsg/, why are they so mentally illalso why did they even move here from /vg/
>>2224933Because they were so bad the jannies banned them.
>>2224879build them anyway, because levys cannot garrison captured forts, even if you only have like 400 you can at least garrison two captured forts so they won't get instantly taken back
>>2224933Go back to your shithole of a site newfag.
>>2224933The jannies banned strategy generals from /vg/ to justify the existence of /vst/
I knew there'd be youtuber metaslaves whining as soon as they introduced values>durr ideas in EU4 don't matter you just pick the same ones every timeYou're just bad at the game.Not to mention this is literally the first version of the game released, these values are going to be rebalanced constantly.
>>2224933everyone in /vg/ is mentally ill.
Is promotion static? Is the only way to increase promotion just add more buildings of the type you want promoted to?
>>2224933long storyt alberto barbosa
>>2224937That actually explains why a lot of little quirks appear on this site. Such a broad genre to ban.
IS THIS WORTH IT?
>>2224944Yes if you have a supercomputer, basically makes you snap from century to century
>>2224936>newfagthis board was the best the first few weeks when it was smalljust because I don't like /vg/ doesn't mean I come from your home site
>>2224757The location with the lowest amount of pops had about 1100, the others in that province had 2.2-3.5k. I came up with the solution to expel pops from my other province to the location with 1100 pops in the province i emigrate from and then when it reaches about 1180 it will send 150 or so pops to my colony. However, for some reason, only the province with the least amount of pops is the one that sends all of its pops to my colony. So I have to wait for it to refill with 150 pops before more pops can be sent. It would make more sense to send from the location with the most pops in my opinion. >>2224758They are both.
>>2224944>When activated will also make speed 4 act as speed 5 when deactivated.what?
>>2224938Is there any reason not to go with centralization and innovation though?
>>2224938oh my science i am now convinced that people are being le silly and will no longer hold the opinions that you do not like
>>2224937But /4xg/ keeps trucking?
>>2224940it says right there what affects promotion,it's mainly stability and societal values
>>2224939then they should've stayed there
>>2224949Speed 1 - 1Speed 2 - 2Speed 3 - 3Speed 4 - 5Speed 5 - UNLIMITED SPEED
>>2224944that sounds like the render option people have been turning off in the tweak menu. it makes the game like 2x faster but the ui is laggy so you have to pause for everything
>>2224886It does. Crown power is the sum of the pop power in all provinces scaled with control. So no control in most of your country means low crown power which by extension leads to more powerful estates.
>>2224930I dunno what to tell you, anon.I loaded up my Bohemia game in 1480 and I have 251
>>2224940I know monasteries increase promotion. Market villages also allow for more laborers and soldiers. Advancements help. Overall literacy is a good thing, so building scriptoriums.
>>2224955But that's still static - are there no direct ways to promote it (buildings, goods)?
1444.Only things that seems to be significantly different from other people's games are Grossgeorgiums and the French treaty ports(?) in England. Oh and the Ottomans remaining Turkish and Sunni(lol) as well as the Knights of Malta spawning, I had given Malta to a fiefdom of mine and it seems they got some event to hand it over to them.
>>2224953It's not about strategy it's about a mentally ill samefag posting his disgusting nudes so it's allowed on the gacha board.
welp, game was kinda fun ish while figuring stuff outdont think I'll be bothering with dlc unless they add a later start date to get right into colonialism though
>>2224959That’s how I play anyway.
>>2224905Are you automating economy? I can't share mine because I'm at work but my fully auto'd trade/building/rgo bvllhemia in 1470s had over 600 raw income before spending.
>>2224964Forgot my fucking image.
>>2224959If you're computer isn't the best, the ui can already be laggy.
Which resources are the best to focus on early? Im still learning all the mechanics and stuff but the thing my brain is really stumbling on is which resources are actually worth investing into early game. If it changes anything im playing Milan.
>>2224930Have you been expanding RGOs?
>>2224970>Spain formedUh nothing happensbros??????
>>2224978the map is completely static and nothing ever happens other than spain forming.
>>2224976It depends on where in the world you're playing.Gold/silver are always high ROI if you just care about cash, and iron tends to be an early bottleneck for tools/weapons in remote places.For italy I'd say you want to invest into food RGOs as much as possible. The area is so urbanized that there's a massive risk a food demand spike fucking your economy over
>>2224978>spain formed>Aragon Aragone >Byzantium getting thiccliterally nothing
>>2224976Depends on what country you’re playing and what resources are available. You want to increase the RGOs of your key resources and make buildings in your capital that take advantage of them. You can’t go wrong with always building paper guilds and scriptoriums though because that helps with literacy.
Can someone explain exactly what "+100 Possible burghers/nobles in towns and cities" means, the tool tip makes it sounds like it just increases your pop limit by 100. But I've heard youtubers talk about it related to pop promotion. I spent some time digging through pop tooltips but I can't find it reflected in a modifier anywhere.
>>2224978>castille, a great power, takes a small nibble out of aragon and navarra over a period of a hundred years>this is enough to form spain, ruler over hispania>this is enough to be considered a happening
>>2224986>>2224983Ok that helps, thanks anons. For northern Italy is it best to not really make many towns and such since there's already so many there?
Anyone playing on hard difficulty? Is it a complete meme or is the game actualy harder and the ai more aggresive?
>>2224992game's already a slog when you have to siege down forts for minimal war score while your incompetent vassals suicide themselves into Polish troops for free war scorenot saying it's hard, but I wouldn't want to make it any more annoying by going above normal
>>2224977Yeah maxed lumber and farming and non gold/, silver rgos
>>2224904What a load of niggershit
>>2224990It’s more advanced than Spain was irl at the same time.
>>2224991You still want your core economic heartland in the immediate vicinity of your capital to be urbanized, but that only really becomes a problem when you start running out of building slots/pops in your capital or if you're getting pinched on resources where you can get a throughput buff from local rgos.That only starts to be a consideration like 100 years into the game though. Until then you can basically just spam RGOs
>>2224992I'm pretty sure AI would only be more aggressive and ambitious because it has more resources. I'd rather the AI get tweaked to not waste a shitload of resources on dumb stuff like attempting to colonize worthless land instead.
So do you lose the Catholic advances if you flip to protestant?
>>2224603diplomatic hegemon powerfrogs had me embargo england after i built trade posts to cap there
>>2224976anything overvalued in your market for quick early cash > lumber, stone, tools, sand > luxury goods for estates > tech (literacy/paper/books). Roughly that order but it depends what resources you have easily available. Creating your own market is usually strong too, but make sure you have the basics around you or you will get fucked by no food/lumber in your market if it's too small because you are squished between others. Going TOO hard on RGO will get you kneecapped by the plague so if you're rolling in it early on pivot to roads. The farming villages are good on food tiles + river (with irrigation). Market Village feels like a trap, you can just spam markets in low control towns because the capacity doesn't care about control.
>>2224748hi that's me i'm glad you found it amusing... i decided to quit that game. i'm gonna play teutonic order again but this time i'm gonna actually builds roads as i conquer.
>>2224995>Sieging Just build more howitzers
>>2224970>GOLDEN HORDEevery time
>>2224970meanwhile irl
I've not fought my civil war once, only my allies have.
>>2224970>Kyiv
>CPU running at 72C at the new speed 5
>>2224970I actually dont mind the dead AI early in the game's life cause of all the new mechanics taking time to get used to.
>>2225005The ones that are catholic exclusive rather than christian culture group yes
>>2225015Disable ticks
>>2224905AI Bohemia is stronger in my game.
>>2224970The world looking like this in 1444 isnt the problem. This isn’t too far off from what the world actually looked like. The problem is that it looks like this 200 years after 1444. The AI needs to get bumps to its aggression in each age so they try blobbing more.
As holland, what should I be focusing on in the early game? I feel like I can't really push values in the direction they went historically plutocratic, naval, etc). Is it just a matter of taking a couple nearby provinces, ecoing up, and scaling until certain advances unlock and I can start disempowering nobles? (Stab cost on removing their privileges is insane). What are the main unlocks I'm looking for to move in the capitalist/Republic direction?
>>2225020BullshitI would heem your dogshit bohemia in any realm
Is the Italian Wars situation just a fucking hell where all the Italian cunts pingpong off of every single league nonstop? What a damn nightmare. They just leave leagues they are completely content with for no reason, just a bit ago I had 120 locations in my league out of the 200 needed and I could have finished the situation by now by just campaigning in Naples.
What happens if I keep levies raised during peacetime?
>>2225029you suffer big debuffs since those are actual pops you need to workwar is no longer profitable like in eu4
>>2225029Less pops are working your economy. And you have to pay for them.
How do people usually set up their in game messages? I feel like I cant play on speed 5 because I'm getting a million popups every couple seconds. No idea how people play into the late game without spending 40 hours on a campaign at a lower speed.
How do I fucking play portugal? I tried castille once and built a super economy and when I play portugal my balance is like 0.90
>>2225030>>2225031So no actual dissent and shit? I can try to use them to pacify newly annexed locations then.
I think the game is superior to EUIV with all dlcs and even anbennar, which is impressive for patch 1.0 Yet the paradox forums is full of people whining, what's the issue ? States are annoying and there should be more options for trade automation so you can set it to buy food to keep prices down even if your market has a surplus etc
>>2224905>those enclaves0/10, come back later
>>2225029Speaking of levies. A friend told me that pre age of reformation levies are always better then professional troops cause of the numbers. This true?
>>2225035Most gsg players aren't as retarded as you and can't delude themselves.
>>2224879Until you get the manpower buildings you can't do much. For sailors I made a bunch of fishing villages then subsidized them because they weren't profitable. Obviously costs money but it was .01 per village. those give you one sailor each.
Hegemonies should be regional or based off the known world for you. Imagine how monumental it would feel if you finally discovered China and then lost two of your hegemonies to them. Slowly overtime building up power until you once again overtake them.
>>2225034Didn’t matter if there was. C*mmoners don’t matter.
>>2225035because the AI is total dogshit
>>2225035look at teh blob retards who have fundamentally failed to understand the game systems in this thread and you have your answer
Remember to support your local Paradox dev.
>>2225036Not exclaves to me since they have 35%+ control and my religion
>>2225035They'll always find reasons to complain. In this case, a lot of them are faggots that are upset that the game is complex.
>>2225032i just wish the game wouldn't auto unpause after an event
>>2225009I already got +4 vs forts according to the interface. It only got better once I had enough Levies to just assault everything without care.
>>2224729Had this same issue, I think it's bugged. I even destroyed buildings to make them unemployed
>>2225035Issue with trade automation is it takes a bunch of shitty useless trades for .10 gold from 8 gorillion miles away because it technically has a profitability of 2 per unit. I just turned it off. I don't know why these fags want to automate the entire game away. Just keep playing EU IV. Do they want another EU IV? What's the point?
>>2225046Scamper back to /vrpg/ you autistic mouthbreather.
The game should force more shitty privileges on you throughout the campaign, I feel like once you've cleaned up the garbage they give you at the start it's smooth sailing. Meanwhile in reality some weak king comes along and gives up privileges left and right leaving a mess for his successors to clean up. Leave the min-maxing to content creators and multiplayer dweebs I'm just trying to have fun, I want to navigate more disasters.
>>2225048I have 30 howitzer armies getting only +5 on normal 2 level forts
>NoThInG eVeR hApPeNsEU4 blobniggers are a cancer
>>2225057im not a fucking blobnigger, but you cant justify that NOTHING EVER FUCKING HAPPENS AFTER 1400NO SPAINNO RUSSIANO BRITISHNO AUSTRIA HUNGARYNO OTTOMANSYOU STUPID CUNT
>>2225057The map is completely static and nothing ever happens bro. it really doesn't matter what happens in your game because nothing happens.
>>2225055Have you considered playing more roguelikes? They have many knowledge checks that you might enjoy more than strategy.
First time playing europa universalis, just starting discovery age and I feel still very poor compared to the screenshots I'm seeing around.Control seems piss low even though I've ruined myself with roads and baillifs, I'm juggling with a lot of expensives to keep up with my army, navy, etc but it never seems enough
>>2225056I got like 16 regiments or something. Maybe 20? houfnice
>>2225055Seconding this. It doesn’t feel like the king matters that much.
>>2224807The new system is more realistic, if castles prevented armies from moving then the Mongols wouldn't have sacked Hungary and if castles didn't retake territory if left unsieged then Hungary wouldn't have taken back the country
>>2225060>>2225059Meanwhile in my gave moscow is steadily dismantling the GHCope smeethe
>>2225059DLC will magically fix all of these, pay up goy.
>>2225047You can configure that in the settings

Ehh why is it showing as 1.0.3
Why can't you entitled freaks just learn to enjoy eating shit like me?

>>2225070Just a little tease to leave us blueballed while we wait for the real patch >>2224904
>>2225038Yeah I'm sure more than 10% of the player base even noticed there is food price and why it's important two days after release I'm not the best player but most players think playing an OPM in HRE to be "hard"
>>2225090based trannybro. you tell them!
>>2225090It's better this way. I like watching more than doing.
@2225097really putting the cuck in paracuck
>>2225079I wish the AI would just weigh its resources better. This would fix most of the problems, especially if they make the AI not colonize areas that have no value and they barely know anything about. This is all completely possible as they did it in one of the later EU4 updates (when they made AI build more forts and in smarter ways).
It's incredible how easy is to spot the raiding gsgtroon
>>2225095Why would they need to when they can just do what you did and automate the trade
Wtf, my personal union with moortugal broke immediately and I lost my ruler who joined his wife in bitchugal after I joined a war where the Jõao’s were on the opposing side. Is this shit supposed to happen??? Now I just have some random noblewoman as a regent but no monarch…

Theres no way people ITT are trying to justify the state of the AI in the game, and golden horde existing in 1836. I like the game, its fun, but the AI is a problem
>>2225077Lithuania should be a massive blob in 1474.
>>2224904>its fucking nothing
ragebaiting on a monday morning...?
>>2225050Because pop needs are dynamic so having an automation is good but the problem is that trade automation does not know what your priorities are, in my Iceland run I didn't care about profit as much as I cared for food price and pop demand since they are so very important when you are trying to increase your pop growth, other countries have different needs, sometimes all you care about is profit because you have a massive standing army or you care about a specific good for a specific building
>>2225107I never played launch eu4 so i dont know if this is true, but the most reasonable cope i hear is its left detuned on purpose cause its easier for paradox to ramp it up and make it work easier then turning it down. And thats what they did at eu4 launch.
>>2225107>Theres no way people ITT are trying to justify the state of the AI in the game, and golden horde existing in 1836. I like the game, its fun, but the AI is a problem
>>2225109do you want this game to be rail roaded
>>2225111it's afternoon in EVROPA chudbeit? don't tell me you're from the colonies?
>>2225115Yes.
>>2225115The game is already railroaded, just not historically.
Nothing ever happens fags should explain why Bohemia is half the HRE + ate Denmark+ has the biggest colonial presence in north America in my campaign

Iberia In 4/5 runs Aragon stayed in Iberia. In 4/5 runs Portugal lost most of its territory. In 3/5 runs Morocco/Granada persisted in Iberia. In one of the two runs where they were pushed out, it was actually Portugal that drove them out for the most part.British Isles England + Scotland never unified (5/5). England failed to conquer Ireland in every run (5/5). England never managed to annex all Welsh land (5/5). In 4/5 runs England lost land to external invaders (most commonly France).France France never managed to integrate all internal enclaves by 1837 (5/5). In 2/5 runs France failed to push England out of France. In 2/5 runs France lost Normandy to outside powers.Austria Austria + Hungary never unified (5/5). Austria + Bohemia never unified (5/5).Russia Russia never managed to form (5/5).Ottomans Ottomans never expanded west of Bulgaria or north of Macedonia (5/5).

>>2225129I’m not the gsg troon you raging sperg
>>2225107>Theres no w-ACCCCKK!!
>>2225103Because the automation priorities are profit and dire building needs it will not buy food if you have a surplus, it will not buy pop demands at a profit loss and will let building demands go unattended if they have highish efficiencyThis is really bad if you play a non brain-dead mode nation like France, Hungary,Bohemia, etc If you want to actually play the game then it needs work
>>2225138>Because your campaign resides in the 18th century and the AI of all the other countries hasn't moved a single muscle.Rangeban all thirdies.

>>2225141>>2225139Go back.
>>2225136>Austria + Hungary never unified (5/5).>Austria + Bohemia never unified (5/5).AFAIK this is not scripted in the game in any way and about as random as any nation getting a marriage union into personal union on any other nation by pure RNG and game mechanix
I don’t care what anyone here says. EU5 is my new favorite paradox game. The AI needs fixes, just like the AI in every other paradox game. Wake me up when you can point out a competitor that does all of this plus has a better AI.
>>2225136holy shit I had no idea it was this bad. how the fuck did they release this game?
The Szlata (Noble Estate) stole 100 Legitimacy, Prestige and Stability in a fucking year

>>2225149its good for the first playthrough, drops off like a rock after you start dealing with the AI
just how completely static is the map and utterly nothing ever happens and broken is this game that slujrpers are voting very positive?
The AI is totally unable to utilize any of the fancy schmancy mechanics they worked on, so the game is a total bore once you learn the basics and realize nothing ever happens

>>2225175Nah kys and go back you dumb faggot redditor
paradox is probably going to refund this game to everyone and take it off steam by this thursday. this game has been nothing but an absolute disaster. hopefully they learned their lesson and will never make another game again.
>>2225136very fun "game"
imagine deepthroating a 40 billion dollar company on 4chan of all places. surely they don't pay you guys for this
>>2225179It looks grim but you'll spnd an entire weekend on less than 100 years of game time, so you won't actually be feeling it. Or at the very least, you're going to need A LOT of play time before it becomes repetitive.

moderators of 4chan.... i kneel
I spent the time to fabricate a holy war CB on Granada via the spy network (really in the early game you should be able to declare war without this bs step) it said I have the CB, it shows up in the diplo screen but when I go to declare war it doesn't show the option to use it, only the no CB option. What gives? Paracucks not letting me attack poor innocent muzzies?I'm shitposting here I know I'm likely doing something wrong Playing as Castile.

>>2225249there arent two sides, it isnt eu4 vs eu5I like EU5, i liked eu4 too but detested its gameyness and simplicity. eu5 is a great game, i love the direction they are going.that belief isnt mutually exclusive with the belief that the AI is awful, unfun, and ruining the game.
>>2225241>>most people never played EU IV past mid 1500Maybe they should actually bring back multiple start dates.
>>2225242Why wouldn't you go centralised, innovative and quality every game ?That being said I understand why it's there, both sides don't need to be equal, you need something to represent why Florence has superior organisation than some random tribe beyond literacy,dev and tech
>>2225253>we>losingIf your metric for how much you enjoy a game is the player count then you should leave /vst/ entirely and go to the gacha generals.
>>2225255from my POV there are two sides>AI blobbing is good gang>AI blobbing is bad gang
>go in reds due to ?? in economy>decide yolo, take out all loans>invest in gunsmiths>bankrupcy>wait 5 years??? profit
>>2225253>mostly negative reviews>still more players
>>2224856The value sliders are so good they shit on literally every other mechanic lazily slapped on top of EU4. It actually creates the illusion of state craft and shaping your society, each one affecting and being effected by dozens of other things. You’re actually a low IQ moron if you can’t see that. Even if centralization is what you go for every time, it simulates the process of centralizing a medieval state and the consequences of doing so/not doing so.
>>2225260Your POV is retarded and delusional.
>>2225260No, AI shouldnt blob as atrociously as eu4, but it also shouldnt do absolutely nothing for 500 years. empires should rise and fall, tons of things should be constantly happening.
>>2225257Yes lets distract the Devs with random bullshit nobody actually uses instead of having them work on relevant issues It's incredible how grand strategy players don't understand that resources are finite

>>2225269A 1444 start date would be good, but only years from now after the UI and AI are reworked. I like the slow burn and I love the medieval setting, but I can understand why people want to skip that and jump to 1444.
>>2225269So why did they inflict random bullshit on themselves and added rougly 200 years to the gametime?
>>2225273
>>2225276A 1444 start date would suffer from the same issue of no late game. Siege of Vienna would be a better start point.

admit it .staring at the map and clicking buttons is just not very fun.the fact is that more people would rather stare at an email interface in football manager because one in a while they get to watch the computer play fifa against itself.
Shouldn't only high initiative infantry upgrade into other high inititative infantry? Or am I supposed to not have 'melee' and 'ranged' at the same time in a stack?
>>2225278Never respond to me again.
>frogposter has dumb opinionsimagine my shock
>>2225253This doesn't look like losing to me.
>>2225285No
>>2225277You understand that "adding 200 years" just means adding tech right? That's nowhere as demanding as changing the entire map and every single value
>>2225280>want to play as Austria>ottoblob is already at my capital>have to rely on AI allies to have a good run
>>2225272And a genius like you regurgitates the same shit takes from facebook? Shut the fuck up retard.>>2225273You haven’t played the game if you think this. You literally CAN’T just click a button and change everything. That’s literally what EU4 does.>>2225275You get more armies and money by managing your state correctly.
>golden horde never falls
So it this confirmed to be the worst launch of a paradox game in recent history?
>>2225270I'm in my mid-20s now and still getting looked down upon by boomer idiots who have been at this shit since I was in kindergarten. Jesus fuck you millenials will NEVER allow anyone born after 1995 to have an opinion on the internet, will you? Unc ass bastards frfr ong or whatever current kids' slang is nowadays. Fuck.>t. newfag retard
so, anyone have a good japan game yet? how'd it shake out for you?
>>2225280A 1444 start date would be perfect for the colonial period. 1683 the world is effectively already divided
>>2225292How's it different from 1444 Byzzies?
>>2225295just a typical launch of a map game. nobody ever wants to play this trash.
>>2225284Sir, this is NOT the thread when you ask questions about eu5
i want a 1776 start, thats the only reason i bought this shitty game and it wasnt even here
>>2225295That would be every other paradox release from when Paradox switched to the DLC model.
>>2225272>A genius admires simplicity, a idiot admires complexity
>>2225290No it also means adding more microcountries and asynchronic dev for no reason.
>>2225295I'm trans btw if that matters
>>2225300They are not under siege yet
>>2225253>comparing a gsg to a sports gameMost retarded thing I've seen all year.
>>2225307How ?
>>2225293No, you haven't played the game. You saw sliders and someone told you that sliders were in an older game so you used your pajeet cognition and assumed that sliders must be good.
Broken.Buggy.Unpolished.That's EU5picrel, its paraslaves eating this SLOP
Sometimes I forget how terrible american hours are on all boards
>>2225312Genre:>simulation>mangement>strategy
>>2225315You don’t just click the sliders, you drooling nigger. You don’t know the thing you’re criticizing.
>>2225315But they told me sliders were bad!
>>2225312>MUH GSG
>>2225062What are these taxes? You need more Maximum Taxation for your estates, you're barely getting shit from them. I don't know if that's just how Naples starts or what.
>>2225258centralized and innovative are almost always better but basically no nations start of centralized or innovative so the gameplay for these is trying to make your way across and resist decentralizing factors rather than a decision of which side to pick.most of the other sliders are somewhat balanced. there are definitely different use cases for capital vs traditional, offence vs defence, spiritual vs humanist, serfdom vs free subjects, land vs naval, individual vs communal etc.
Everyone reply with your rating for eu5 1-10, the sum of all the ratings will be the official, indisputable verdict on the game

>>2225314???
>>2225319You do actually, and it gives weight to the side you clicked.
If CK3 managed to have multiple successful and well-regarded start dates, so can we.>867 for viking/pagan gaming>1066 for a more stable unified europe and HRE politics>that newer start date for crusader jerusalem shenaniganswe could have the same as well>1337 - medieval feaudal gameplay>1444 - classic Ottomans/Austria/Muscovy/England/France/Spain/Portugal/Byzantium gameplay>one more start date in the 1500s
>>22253262/10 - good foundation, needs lots of work. very shallow, boring gameplay.
>>2225326without ai being considered, 7/10given the shitty ai, 4/10
how do i make money
>>2225318Football manager is fantasy football for people who are autistic for management sim but normie enough to care about football, it's an untapped niche demographic that they have full control of It's like paradox was the only historical game dev
>>22253264 maybeit was maybe kinda fun at first but man it becomes a slog the second time
>>22253260, slop. Shit
>>2225319>heh you also wait for the status effect to run out so you can click the sliders again>this is just like my favourite JRPG!
>>2224648How do you win that first Polish-Lithuania war as the Teutons?
>>2225326boring/10
Is gsg really so dead all its posters are here?
>>22253266. I'd rate it way higher, like 8 or 9, if it weren't so buggy right now.
>>2225326It's by far the best Paradox 1.0 release.A solid 7.5/10.The only things I don't like are the AI and parts of the UI.
>>2225311Then roll it back a few years, not a big deal.
>>2225316>>2225278Someone explained how the filename randomizer worked for me and now I can't stop noticing.
>>2225328I literally have no idea of what you're talking about, adding years into the game only requires tech and models, what does dev and tags have to do with it unless you want to railroad events?
>>2225341You're on a board that was made specifically for /gsg/ posters you dumb newfag.
Oh shit...
...
>>2225343>It's by far the best Paradox 1.0 releaseanyone denying this is retarded
>>2225348>1352 What the fuck did you do nigger.
>>2225330Ck3 also has no pops and every nation is basically the same
>oooo dynamic institution spawn ooo>check reqs>90% of shit is "is in europe" lockedfucking LAME
>>2225347>board that was made specifically for /gsg/ postersthat would be /vg/ but you got kicked out of there because you are annoying faggots no one likes LMAOOOOO
>>2225345wym?
>>2225351I uhh took all the papal states and then tried to sell him my claim on Avegnon?IDK really I have been kinda antagonizing him I guess and was preparing another war to vassalize more of central Italy but I do feel this was a bit harsh, right?
>>2225329The cabinet member is one action that influences the sliders and only up to a point because there’s a cap depending on how you have you’re country set up. And it’s only “giving weight.” Everything else that influences sliders is your economy, laws, privileges, nation-specific buffs or debuffs, parliament type, government type, what institutions and advancements you have, etc. pulling the values certain ways. You have to look at different aspects of your country and make significant modifications to get it moving to the values you want. But you can’t just click click click because things you do have effects on your estates, your stability, and your legitimacy.It’s a better mechanic than literally anything in EU4.
>>2225353Browns MAD
>>2225347The board was made for all the people who wanted to discuss strategy games but didn't want to use /gsg/ because it was a steaming pile of shit that doesn't discuss its namesake. By the time /vst/ was created /gsg/ had already devolved into schizoposting. It's on the same level as the Katawa Shojou general.
>>2225333build building and expand rgos that have value/demand
>>2225346...the 1337 start date has more microcountries that exist? They just threw away the foundation and familiarity they had with working on EU4 start for a decade, increasing dev efforts for no reason?
>>2225353>be china>europeans discover gunpowder before me
literally nothing ever happens.i can sit here at speed 5, going bankrupt repeatedly and letting my rebels win, but still the map is completely static and nothing ever happens.ming doesn't spawn, red turban doesn't spawn, yuan never ceases to exist even though i'm just sitting here doing nothing with 0 ducats.
>>22253268, the AI issues need a lot of play time to be perceived, beyond that market mechanics are kind of eh, the diplo gameplay somewhat shallow, and there are some of the usual bugs you would expect, but in spite of all these it's an incredibly fun and addictive experience. I can easily see myself put in all of the hundreds if not thousands of hours.
>>2225358i just want to weeb out with proper armies :(>>2225362FUCK you chang
>>2225353Dynamic institution spawns just mean>if someone has tons of paper production, there is a high chance they invent printing

>>2225359Holy larping newfag.
are aztecs fun to play?

>>22253267-8
>>2225343My thoughts exactly, 7.0-7.5 out of 10.UI has some shit design in parts. The game hides information from you or it's hard to find. The AI doesn't behave historically enough, or at least doesn't expand reliably.
>>2225349You could tell me that's a screenshot of me and I would easily believe it. Hell, maybe it actually is.
>>2225375Korea used the Hwacha as early as 1350 but ingame you can't research the Hwacha tech until the institution has spread all the way from Europe. Its fucking stupid
For me, it's locking institutions to historical.
>>2225383It's better than anything Eu4 has ever had.
>>2225378>you can't tell me that's logicalThey just have high paper production.

>>2225375Honestly, it will all be good once the AI is made to arrive in Asia quicker. Adopting shit from the Europeans will be fun, as will playing them against each other and your local rivals.
>>2225388maybe they should fucking use some of it to wipe their asses then.

Only use case is to make it seem like they got an image here or to mask that you're posting the same image over and over again. If you see a bunch of posts by the same person with images that meet that criteria and aren't in the archive, then they're probably using the randomizer. Whenever I notice someone is using it they're almost always incredibly antagonistic or straight up spamming. >https://crestresearch.ac.uk/resources/mining-the-chans/Might be relevant.
>>2225396ah, makes sense
>>2225374HOI2 was my introduction to Paradox, back when Darkest Hour didn't even exist and its map was just the state the E3 map mod was in at the time.
>>2225395you gotta be at least 50 years old if you played hoi2, what the fuck
>>2225395>NOOO MY BOOMER GAME WAS REALLY POPULAR
eu5 is slop
>>2225373Oh no, not a minor spelling mistake. I guess it’s over.
>>2225360>build buildingwhat buildings
LMAOOOO 15 PEOPLE PLAYED HOI2 how many played eu3? like 10?
>>2225390You're genuinely retarded mate.
>>2225395Ahh, now this is gaming
>>2225408at least 100
>>2225378The thing is that having the institution of professional armies comes with tons of technological advances unlocked, I understand what you are saying but in the frame of the game institutions are the small steps towards the scientific method and the scientific method couldn't have sprouted anywhere but Europe or the middle east because the epistemology is the evolution of Greek philosophy
>>2225405It helps to stop a retarded post.
>>2225403Back in my day games weren't launched through steam bud
>>2225383That shit is a gimmick that probably didn't do much more than psychological damage Like I said before it's vibe technology
>>2225415>cope
>>2225414It gives you a way to concede without having to say it because you know you’re wrong.
>>2225396So 1 guy is so scared of being called out hes pretending to be multiple people even while making abhorrent bait?
>>2225409You don't understand how the game was made
>>2225394traditional economy is actually better most of the time unless you're a tiny trade focused nation. spiritualist gives a lot of tolerance of the true faith which is always great whereas humanist doesn't give much of valuenaval vs land depends a lot on your nation but usually naval is better if you have any significant coastline
>>2225413to cut back on the shitposting, i do think that some institutions should have the ability to spawn in multiple places because some are kind of obvious advancements. meritocracy (not that it spawns ingame), professional armies, arguably the printing press, you get my point. it'd fit both logically and mechanically.
One of my main complaints:each branch of research locked behind institutions with slow as fuck spread.
>>2225423...yeah? I wasn't there dumbass.
>>2225428Gotta teach them pops how to read
>>2225421Maybe not, some people do just post timestamped images from the last year and there are others who probably just have it on for innocent reasons. Just sharing my recent observations. I'm sure there's some confirmation bias as I only really look for this when the post is already low quality.
>cant play as muscovy because game nerfed russia and boosted kiev to appease tranniesFuck this, im out
>>2225416It raped the Japanese in the Imjin war.
>>2225434in what way were they nerfed?
love how the game lags the fuck out when you play as japan because of the 30,000 BBC armies that make the first 100 years a horrible slog
>1440'ish>Bohemia HRE random bits and pieces around HRE>On top which has 30 subjectsBohemia owns roughly a third of the entire HRE, this can't be intended. I'll play my second game after they'll fix this shit
>>2225426At the very least there should be a way to "bring" an institution home at the cost of gold, stability, estate happiness that scales based on your country's literacy and values.
>>2225420No it's because the post is too retarded for a serious reply so you can only assume the one that made it is trolling.
>>2225434errrrrrrrrm why would you want to play as the bad guys? play as KYUV and form UKTRANS
>>2225436one of the devs literally said that they basically nerfed russia to make it more "dynamic". that includes alot of artificial stupid obstacles and huge debuffs and weak characters
There's too many 'soft locks' For example>can call settlers from place X to capital, to boost income>conquer place>can no longer call settlersOr the most obvious>having multiple vassals with their own 100 control capital is always better than one CENTRALIZED, ABSOLUTE country with one single 100C capital
>>2225440>still nothing close to an argumentI accept your concession.
>>2225434>>2225438>>2225437>>2225445STOP COMPLAININGTHE GAME IS PERFECT AND IF YOU CRITICIZE IT, YOUR A TRANNY
>>2225435>It raped the JapaneseSure thing Kuk Hu-Bong
>>2225449https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Haengju
>>2225439that's also fair. back in ye eu4, you could at least 'force' it to appear by spending shitloads of mana on development once it'd shown up on your map. would be nice to have something analogous.
>>2225446>it's not just one click please take my shitpost seriouslyNo.
>>2225426Yes but in the game professional armies unlocks the tech to field gunpowder armies, guns in Asia coexisted with bows and arrows, you need physicists and engineers to make guns of the quality that will replace every traditional weapon on the field (for infantry at least) which Asia didn't have or at least not of the same proficiency as in Europe, people in Asia fought on top of elephants until the XIX century that says a lot,imagine how expensive is to feed an elephant as non industrial society, they still thought it was worth the price because they didn't get obliterated instantly by accurate fire like they would in the west
>>2225445Also if I get a civil war, my income goes upAnything with a 'base value' instead of being purely dynamic is cringe
>>2225436In EU4 Moskals are on the strongest tags, with their own special interactions and special units. On top of which the Orthodoxy is one the strongest religions in that game. They're not super special in EU5 anymore so the ziggers are butthurt
>>2225434Congratulations you're worse than the AI
>>2225434skill issue
>>2225458Your country is literally called queef and has lost 60% of its population to being genocided by the masterrace or fleeing to have sex with poles.You lost.
>>2225461you used debug mode to cheat. cool. i can see you left the fucking debug icon on LMAO
OOOFUGGG:D
>>2225435And what could it do to a contemporary European army with full plated heavy cavalry and canons ? Probably not much
>>2225426Institutions should be able to spawn multiple times in different regions. Not a lot of innovations appeared just once and were created by a single society of people. Also those institutions absolutely should not lock you out of 1/3 of your tech tree. Islamic empires haven't adopted printing press until 1800s because why would you use dumb barbarian methods when there's a millenium old literary tradition, and it didn't stop the Ottomans from raping half of Europe for centuries.
>>2225455You already lost. Please stop responding to me without any substance. It only makes you look worse.
>>2225449The Japanese have always been superior and the lesser Asians have an inferiority complex about it. They can't handle that the island and people they'd always dismiss as unimportant absolutely dominated them whenever they wished.
>>2225472japanese were superior even doe they just copied china
>>2225468Back to /gsg/ eu4tard
>>2225438This is how it was in EU3 Bohemia always pops off in this start date, why wouldn't they? They are like EU4 Austria but with weaker Poland and no Ottomans in sight
leave a positive review NOW
>>2225467Yeah not much, the point is that Korea and China should have access to shitty early gunpowder stuff they historically had access to, not that it should btfo Europeans.
>>2225471>I win I win I winThis isn't a competition. You're merely being retarded on the internet, which doesn't count as an achievement these days.
>>2225474Like how they copy America now and make something superior or how they copied European guns and made them better. They have the copying ability the Chinese wish they had in modern day.
Southern Italy looks a bit more tolerable now.
The Holy Roman Empire is the most secure prison facility on the planet. It completely contains and restricts the Germanic Warrior spirit in it's borders. Escape is impossible ... but what if the me that is inside the HRE and the me that is outside the HRE strike at the same time in perfect coordination and synchronicity? Can this sudden impact shatter the illusion of the invincibility of the HRE and create a new Prussian future?Only time will tell ...(I invited Prussian settlers from the Teutonic Order and then started assimilating my POPs to them, but it wasn't enough, so I had to create a whole bunch of vassals, until the became the majority culture in my country. 25% wasn't enough, I think you need like 33% Prussians to switch to them)
>>2225464Not that anon but debug mode is mandatory for a performance fix and Muscovy always eats up Novgorod and the other princes in my games, I do notice that Kiev always blobs though
>>2225472They lost that war though
>>2225468But it did stop the Ottomans. Their society was mostly illiterate and stagnated by the end of the 1600s when many of Europe’s advancements were culminating in ways to skyrocket it to conquering the world.
>>2225486>performance fixruns fine on my machine without any cheats enabled
>start new game in japan>half a million catholicsi n my countrywhat?
Does anyone feel like the game allows for more roleplaying through laws/reforms/sliders, or is there basically a meta already?
Is there any point in having anything except full cav regulars (+arty for siege) until reformation eraThey deal x4 damage per manpower used compared to infantry regulars
>>2225494What are you smoking it's just modifier stacking from eu4 with a coat of paint. Every country can take whatever and feel the same.
>>2225489Using GameStateTick.RenderFrameIfNeeded is basically a cheat that lowers your playtime
>>2225372Poser faggot
>>2225494I feel there is very little roleplaying mainly because there isn't much flavor or unique events atm unless you are playing a major power
>>2225497>lowers your playtimeWhy would I want to play less?
>>2225487Toyotimmy Hideyoshi did it to consolidate his rule, with fun as a secondary objective. Projecting the power to successfully invade Korea and hold it against the Koreans and Chinese was basically impossible. The most important thing is that everyone had fun and it makes for a good story.
>>2225493Seems to be a new glitch now, I saw another anon report similar. Pops follow you from previous games. EU5 is now a rougelike in a select few personalized copies.
>>2225472As an Anglo bvll, I know this feeling. Us islanders are the envy of the world.
>>2225496>Every country can take whatever and feel the same.NOOOO!! WHY ISN’T THERE A SPECIAL PRUSSIA ONLY MECHANIC FOR LE EPIC DISCIPLINE!!!??!!? Bullshit gayme won’t let me cheese modifers for my favorite country by clicking one button to manipulate a single slider that no one else gets for…. some reason.
>>2225506any fixes?
>>2225506lmao
>>2225395>im le based old fag I swear poser faggot
>>2225508>samurai>knights>Ryukyu>Ireland>Emishi>Scots>love archery>hate the materially wealthy (but spiritually DESOLATE) mainlanderswoah, it's like a mirror.
>>2225506This game is a fucking piece of shit I swear
>>2224648Tried out a EU game years ago. millions of tiny buttons and ui things clutter the whole screen, no documentation of any of it, no tutorial, had no idea what I was supposed to click or do.I uninstalled after an hour.
How do we fix the game?
>>2225410You never play these.
>>2225480I disagree, the game doesn't model minority units only the most common of its type if that makes sense, for example European man at arms are just one type you don't need Voulgiers to be separated and artillery is only represented once it become impactful in field battles, there are no trebuchets in Europe despite them being mandatory for sieges It the game's unit system was like ck3 then sure
>>2225518EU5 has even more clutter but they make it super easy to learn. You can hover over anything and it will explain a lot about it, then you can hover over the terms in that bubble too, and so on.
THEY'RE NOT FUCKING DOING ANYTHINGHow the fuck do I ship them off to florida?
>>2225510Calm down. You can still play your favourite subsaharan nation and larp as a bulgarian with no notable differences.
when is steppe wolf being ported
>>2225486Why do so many poor brown people play this game?
>>2225527>subsaharan>bulgarianIs there a difference?
>>2225495Historically accurate Even in the Napoleonic era the elite troops were shock cavalry
>>2225522>I disagree, the game doesn't model minority units only the most common of its type if that makes senseHwacha are literally in the game as a tech and a unit is just you can't research them until the advancement spreads all the way from Europe. That was my point.
>byzantium break their alliance with me and insulting me>conquer constantinopleyup yup
>>2225521they're fun
>>2225527I'm pretty sure it's harder to play DEI nations in EU5 since youll never get institutions in sub Saharan Africa and America until you border or trade with Europeans
>>2225493Jesus went and died in Japan, this is historically accurate. Not everyone is ready for actual historical truth like this. Other truth include France having more pop than germany and italy combined at game start so of course they are strong and the Spics taking 100years to finish off the reconquista irl from the game start.
>>2225531Yes.
You rename your colonized lands to have fitting names, right?
>>2225534>the latin empire at home
>>2225527Except for all the events, resources, institutions you get and when, laws, and privileges that are different. Yep, all the same other than that.
>>2225534Opa it’s like anudda 4th crusade
>Forts only have like 100 people in themWhat the fuck, was this the case in EU4? I remember in EU3 I had to leave a regiment (1000) to carpet siege, so I never bothered with it in EU5.
>>2225546how do formable nations even work in this game? ngl I started this hospitalier run on a whim
>>2225532Yeah, elite shock troops, not as a full army dumbfuck.
>>2225549garrisons had thousands in eu4
>>2225540They did take that long to finish reconquista irl though. Granada was allowed to remain until the Castillians got the idea of unifying the peninsula in their head.
>>2225545I don't have colonies because I'm playing tall Bohemiums
>>2225547Oh my Cyd Sherman so many modifiers for me to stack. >+0.02 stab/monthHow exciting and bulgarian.
>>2225549Having very few people garrisoning medieval castles was the norm. You didn’t need much to defend it and they usually weren’t that big. At least in Europe.
>>2225526I haven't tried it yet but isn't there literally an "expel people" cabinet option?
>>2225558You just described eu4.
>>2225560that makes them leave the province, he wants to triangle trade
>>2225515>spiritually DESOLATEBut thats the anglo golem.
>>2225561So eu5 is just an inferior eu4?
>>2225506>Pops follow you from previous games.So a new game plus feature huh? I guess that's how you're supposed to play shithole countries.
AND PAIN ISSALVATION
The biggest problem with the HYW is that France's vassals are too loyal at the start.
>>2225563Anglos have faustian spirit. It’s why they were the only ones with real settler colonies that prospered. Real anglos left that god forsaken island centuries ago
why does the success of this game cause so much seethe?
>>2225563Britain was very spiritual throughout most of history. I'm sure if you looked into it, they are still more spiritual compared to the rest of europe.
>>2225506Based Johan knowing his audience.
>1713>fully united france>not even great powerhow did this happen
>>2225568>left with 2k troopsngl that's pyrrhic
>>2225472There's also a lot of really funny butthurt about its colonialism and the war. Like Taiwan doesn't give a fuck that Japan colonized them and helped them create civilization. But Korea is insanely butthurt about itBUT if you look at Korea at the time, they had a ton of stupid shit like slaves and child marriages with adults. Japan literally came in and basically forced them to be civilized and the build school and roads and industry. They took advantage of them as a colony obviously like every other western nation did with their colonies, but the butthurt is so overblown.Same with China>"No!

>>2225586>dlc bloatNone of this stuff is dlc? It’s not bloat either? Just because you can’t keep up doesn’t mean it’s bloat. It’s all very simple when put together too, so it’s entirely an IQ problem. Dlc bloat literally describes EU4 now at the end of its life, with a bunch of nonsense modifiers working in abstract systems. You niggers will complain about sliders in EU5 that are part of a complete system and say EU4 is better with dlcs adding a single slider for a single nation that doesn’t affect anything else. You just want to be mad about something at this point.

>>2225697I don’t believe it to be complicated actually. There’s a lot going on, but it can be boiled down to obvious ideas and it actually makes sense when put together. You’re trying to make criticisms that don’t hold up because new bad old good or whatever stupid shit you’re holding onto in your head. Every time it’s pointed out that certain criticisms are stupid, you obfuscate or run around the point to where it stops being coherent. EU5 has obvious problems like the UI and AI, but the base mechanics and systems are actually a lot better than past games.
>>2225577>TaiwanThat's because they were, ironically, Japan's model colony and the only one that could have been kept if they really wanted to. But the issue about them not giving a fuck about Japan is because they have their own issues with China that superseded their issues with the Japanese in the post-war years.
>>2225716You need to wait until Johan releases the Mestizo DLC.
Which of the Scandinavian countries could possibly have remained Catholic during the reformation irl? I already flipped Milan to Lutheranism and want to try the reverse. Had the Pope approved Gustav Vasa's choice of Archbishop then we would have a Catholic Sweden? Or if Christian I had remained king in Denmark or managed to reconquer just Norway and stayed loyal to his brother-in-law Charles V?

>>2225722m8 he's just trolling stop falling for the b8nobody actually thinks eu5 is shita consensus has been reached that the game is really good, especially for being a fresh release, not perfect by any measure but it's already arguably the best paradox game and that's really saying something when you consider the absolute state of strategy games these dayswe can continue to have conversations about ways the game could and should be improved on but i do think it's time we stop feeding the lazy trolls and replying to slop b8we've all been playing the game all week, we all have dozens of hours in game at this point and we all know what we're talking about. its johan's magnum opus and currently a really good gsg and if they put out dlc as well as they did for eu4 or hoi4 this game will become the greatest gsg of all time. if they put out subpar dlc like they did for ck3 and v3 this game will remain a very good game and still arguably the best paradox game of all time

>>2225726>>2225737This is the correct answer. The fastest a nation fell into the "Reformation" was directly proportional to the amount of butthurt the King of such nation had with the Pope.
>>2225741It's been only a week since the release, a paradox game release. I'm confident the AI will eventually get tweaked as long as people keep complaining about it and harass the devs on social media.

>>2225770Weaken their state's power
>>2225770The price to revoke is based on their power I think, you can make revoking easier by boosting crown power or the other estates and revoking gets easier the more you revoke. There's also things like discounts if you use parliament etc.

i'm trying to play in fking africa and this province of Iwo has no colonial charterHOW DO I COLONIZE IT?
How do I stop my entire navy going full retard and dropping their missions when attempting to move overseas troops instead of just the transports doing it?
>>2225917Is the pop already full?You have to wait for the people there to die/migrate
>>2225901Samaritanism is way better than Judaism. And Samaritans are actually the original Israelites, not the larpers we have today.
BUILD TOWNSCONSTRUCT TOWNSROUNDHOUSE KICK A RURAL AREA INTO A TOWN(its the top left corner of a provinces view)make sure to do so as close as possible to your capital+ add roads and burger buildings and max RGOsThats the guide
>>2225898>Again, your number 1 priority is relationsalright, is improving/currying favour enough? my frame of reference is eu4 were the ai will go from super friendly to hostile in about 2 seconds because you're next to them so i wasn't sure how to play the diplomacy gamebtw how did you get that piece of transylvania? did you go to war directly with hungary or did you try to drag them in as an ally by declaring on another nation
Huh, I never realized that province capitals will automatically move if a different province becomes more populatedThat's really cool
How bad is building automation really
>>2225916Americans are God's angels
How can I call my ally into a war that I intervened in?
>>2225921luv the countrysidesimple as
>>2225915I don't believe you.
Any way to easily check my nation's unique advances? They show up when forming a new nation but it's a hassle to search for them in the tech tree afterwards.
SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF THIS GAY ASS HAINAUT UNION
>>2225934yes
>>2225472>The Japanese have always been superiorJapan always was a pale imitation of Tang China, they were "superior" only insofar they adopted European technology earlier.
>>2225936thanks bro
>>2225926It’s on par with the great leap forward. No downside to automating roads but unfortunately it almost never happens.
>didn't see for hours there was an gov reform preventing me from being a kingdomand now I'm out of prestige to level up...
>>2225919no its just a random province that is not a country, doesn't have a colonial charter option
so... is there a way to evict building based nations like the banks or hansa, or do you just have to put up with them?
>>2225368>places that have never heard of philosophySo China should be a valid spawn location, right? They have had more philosophical schools in their history than stepped barbarians in the north.
>>2225923>is improving/currying favour enough?Should be, yeah. And if you're getting offered alliances, it's probably for the better to take them.>btw how did you get that piece of transylvania? did you go to war directly with hungary or did you try to drag them in as an ally by declaring on another nationHungary and Poland are allies, and Poland was having a rebel nobles moment (for some reason they had these a few times), so the best time to strike was when Hungary was busy playing whack-a-mole with Polish rebels, because that also meant Poland itself wouldn't join a war declared on Hungary (the Burgundians did however, and let me tell you, there may only be like 4K of them but damn they're strong). Unfortunately I had to rush so as not to lose the opportunity so I used no CB, but Bulgaria, Serbia and Halych all joined my war from the beginning as allies, while Kyiv and Bryansk I had to use my favours for despite our alliance because of the distance. The shitty AI meant no consolidation of forces for a while so the warscore went as far down as -9, but once I could doomstack my allies, I went to +44 and I could've gone further, but there was no point because what you see is maximum I could get in the peace deal without going over 100.
>>2225944There are peace deal options to force them to destroy buildings + not build again
>>2225940I don't have enough attention span to fight wars and manually build things in all of my provinces at the same time tho
>>2225948that work for the japs too? i know you can prevent them from building, couldn't find one for removing their shit.
>bro you get so much control from coasts is crazy>all of Greece and Aegean still have low controlDo I just build fishing villages everywhere or whatPutting navies on patrol does nothing
Please tell me that I'm just stupid and missing something and that I don't have to manually organise every flank of every regular army I build. Please tell me that there's a button I can press to put cav on the flanks, inf in the centre, and arty in the reserves automatically.

Have you guys been dynasty maxing?In my Portugal game I am just before 1500 and I have around 300 living characters in my dynasty right now. One of the noble houses in Portugal also has like 200 living characters in it right now.The noble marriage privlege removes the -10 legitmacy hit for marrying nobles. So if you just marray all your crown characters to nobles and the remaining nobles to each other they just explode in numbers.
Is there any way to easily tell why a union started? I'm playing as England and had unions with two separate italian republics. They were both tiny shitholes that got annexed by their overlords but I'm not sure how it happened.
Want to make a small mod, I'm a programmer but don't know how advanced the options for EU5 are, is this simple mod plausible?CONTROLDistance to capital bonus changed to distance to nearest integrated cityCities get flat less control based on % of non integrated cultureESTATESMaximum state satisfaction can go over 100% through rare legacy building opportunities (events + investments + holding privelidges long enough). The equilibrium scales to the maximum, but the bonuses/maluses don't + they need to be under 50% flat to be mad.
>>2225962yeah until I got too tired of the constant popups
>>2225965[Tragic News] These people were forced to play in China in EU5
>>2225960If you're playing as one of France's neighbors then at least half of your time should be occupied with sabotaging them.
Also fuck those italian city states. The number of times they have elected my 100, 100, 100 prime minister to lead their nation, immediatley stealing him without telling me. and i don't get the 300 ducats i spent on promoting him to head of cabinet back either
>>2225896based!
>>2225965Truer words have not been spoken
>>2225967I disabled those popup messages ages ago because they are useless. Every 5 years when I'm doing my parliament I'll go to the character list and filter for who is unmarried. Still a bit of a timewaster but I always have so many good crown characters to fill cabinet and lead navies and armies
>>2225962yes. its absolutely essential
>>2225972>and i don't get the 300 ducats i spent on promoting him to head of cabinet back either>put heir on council>king's heart explodes the second he hands over the ducats>empty council seat :)I'm filthy rich now but that early on it was painful.
>>2225964>Distance to capital bonus changed to distance to nearest integrated cityJust go play civ if you can’t decide between high or wide
>>2225981>>2225962Is inbreeding modeled at all? I'm in 1420 and all the English nobles are related to me now. Most of Iberia and Italy are related to me too. Working on getting Germany in the family.
Does anyone here do manual trading and if so has it made you more money
>>2225992yes. automating trade is okay, but it doesnt at all do the best possible thing. its quite wasteful
>>2225992I only lock in a few trades for pop needs and keep the rest on automated
average eu5 enjoyer be like
>>2225984at least the heir doesn't just fuck off to italy without even telling anyone. i want an event where you can choose to force him to stay for -stability, ask for a bribe so they get him but pay you ducats and -legitamacy or you can let him go freely>>2225989No I don't think it is. i've only seen it let you marry up to first cousins. When my dynasty tree get this big anyway I might be more related to some random burgher in Lisboa than someone all the way on the other side of the tree
i go into debug mode to fix the spain-eating-portugal bug, and im not ashamed of it
How do you easily farm prestige? It's so tedious and it's easy to lose.
>>2225999Nigger-rig
I already made them change their laws through the union parliament, so what is happening here? Why he doesn't have my ruler son as their heir?
>>2225962i did this in my runWARNING DO NOT OVERDO ITat some point i had nearly 3000 characters and it was lagging out the game pretty badly, not to mention the weekly popups of people turning 16 and needing to be told to make more babies. there's an alert for education and if i hovered it, even for a millisec by accident, the game would freeze up for like 2minutes. eventually i got sick of it and stopped marrying them and now 200 years later im down to like 500 characters which still covers any need you might have
I've been savescumming so hard in my run because of my retardation.
>>2226008Fucking casual.
surprised the hundred years war is still going 130 years later in this obs game
>>2225962I wanted to try this game but my starter dad and son as Bohemia had nothing but daughters so our bloodline died out. I'm working on my new dynasty a bit.
>>2225962I also have 300+ characters but they're all nobles. My dynasty almost died out, just couldn't make babies of the right sex. I was ready to switch to another dynasty but then my 60 year old wife died and the old king nabbed a 16 year old and got a boy.
>>2226007good to know I disabled the message popup when people turn 16Wish you could disable alerts like you can popup messages. I've noticed the the 2-3 second hangtime mousing over that education alertAlso it would be much better if you could set some rules to automate education and marriage for your dynasty characters
>>2226014sometimes it just doesn't resolveI'm at 1530 in my run and it's STILL going on
>>2225965>oh noo we're not numbaa one
>>2226015castille lost their original house in my gamenow their ruling family is some random noble family from portugal kektotal cultural domination
>>2225920I've looked at a lot of obscure Abrahamic faiths but I've never seen this one. Thanks for something to read about.
>>2226022At least that's plausible, Scotland got taken over by the Piasts in my game.
Is there a way to make unit animations "stop" or snap, the unit icons hover all over the place and act with extreme delay and it's really hard to tell where any given unit actually is at times.
>>2225962I fucked up by not marrying my nobles and now I have like no options for my cabinet. Pretty annoying that you have to do it yourself. I’m trying to make them fuck more now. The only ones left are going to be my own dynasty at this rate, but I only have like three boys for it to fall back on.
VGH....
>>2226028No lol. Even during the prerelease streams I heard people complaining about it, it's super confusing.
>>2225995This. Most of the trades are my own, but I keep automate on so it doesn’t get wasted if things open up that I don’t notice.
>>2226027aren't the piasts famous for marrying wide and having lots of titles like the hapsburgs
bros redhawk has AMAZING hair in his new video holy shit
>>2226029three boys should be plenty. characters breed like rabbits. get them married at 16 and its rare for them to have less than 3 kids usually they have 4 or 5

>>2226031For fucks sake
All my ruler's heirs died in the plague and he's old along with his wife, what's going to happen when he dies?
>>2226019They really need to change unlawful territory to release new nations or return cores to existing nations This Bohemia is disgusting
>>2226036Half the reason is there's no menopause, it's just a flat % chance. I've had 70 year old kings and queens producing children.
I've been playing a single campaign for 25 hours and I'm at 1480, am I really slow or does the game take forever?
I think colonization might be a bit too easy currently
>>2226042ai can't do anything right because it's an unfinished shit game, everyone should be refunding this abysmal dogshit
>>2226047Agreed
>>2226045Similar hours and similar year here. I think it's just how it is.
>>2226043I wish I had old kingslike clockwork all my kings dies at ages 48-52but i did find it amusing that one of my kings had his final child more than ten years after the one one before and his wife was like 45
>>2226036The only problem is that most of my characters keep having girls. The eldest son of my dynasty had girls. I made succession by Salic law because I’m autistic and want to keep my royal house. Then the next guy had one son and three daughters. That son has four daughters. The next branch in the tree is someone who owns an earldom with three sons and a daughter. I need to reintegrate that earldom so I can control their marriages, and I’m praying these bastards make some fucking boys.
>>2226045>>2226050Today's patch added an option to increase tick speed at the expense of your fps
>>2226047Nah, I'm gonna buy it again on a second account just to spite you :)
>>2226052that reminds me i noticed that primogeniture didn't work as i thought it would in EUV. One time my adult heir died randomly through and event but instead of my grandson becoming the heir it went to the second son
savegame file size for this game is massive
>>2226056the final level of paracuckery.
>>2226052matrilineal non exclusive >
>>2226058Succession is odd in this game. I know that the crown will eventually go to the guy with the earldom if my current ruler doesn’t have a so, but it doesn’t show him as the heir. But I know it’ll go to him because that’s what happened before. It’s definitely buggy, so idk if your primogeniture thing is intended or a glitch.
is it time to motherfuckin rock a motherfuckin cock? tried to get a bigger stack but they keep running away
Does local estate power go into the max power? Like is there any point of putting the local crown power buildings all over and in my capital?Also where do I even see local estate power in the province menu. But yeah most importantly does it go into max estate control and power? Like does building the market places that give 10% local burgher power make those bitches even stronger overall in the estate menu?
>>2226071Also another question, what’s the ideal navy comp, and is it different for the Mediterranean?
>>2226067i think it's probably a mistake in the logic. it probably is only checking the sons and daughters initially
>>2226046If the Netherlands was independent and England was more stable, they could've achieved this around this time. The problems both countries faced were really up to chance (Netherlands being passed around like the town bike and England having a long succession war respectively).
Some negative reviews translated from chinese:>One player picked the "positive review" age focus, and suddenly everyone's brains bluescreened and forgot what "positive review" actually meant>Johan saw a meme online, but he couldn't use it because it spawned in the U.S. and hasn't spread to Sweden yet>During the Ming Dynasty, a group of scholars tried to study artillery, but then realized they weren't in Europe or North Africa so they just couldn't figure it out.>If you want micromanagement, it's way too complex and tedious. If you want to automate and play macro, the AI is awful. Flavorless and painful to play, might as well just play CK3 or Vic3.>Are you Swedish sons of bitches devolving? CK3 and Vic3 achievements didn't need ironman, but now you've dragged achievements in EU5 back to ironman mode only. Do you fuckwits not understand how painful it was to get achievements in EU4 without being able to save and reload? Paradox you motherfuckers.>My house doesn't have a road connected to Paradox hometown, so I have zero control over them.

Theres a bugif you get lvl2 chancery and try to build it, it wont display a button for it, you need to click your capital with no indicator

Anyone tried Wales? Is it hard to break free of the English?
>>2226075I can't wait for their "country" to collapse. Bless Xi for destroying that shithole.
>>2226075ok theyre kinda funnyim not quite sure why they're bitching about institutions though, while the great divergence really only happened in the 18th century, the late ming learned about artillery, forts and sieges from fighting and trading with the dutch and portuguese
>>2224773The AI doesn’t need to choose when to complete an event if you want to force it down historical routes. Honestly, just make the AI more aggressive and you’d get more blobs. Most of the issues with the AI would be solved by this (complaints being they don’t form countries or Ottomans and Russia don’t get big).
>>2226075so they just shitpost with reviews or something?

It's so fucking funny how diplomats are single use items.>send a diplomat to improve relations>once relations are improved the diplomat gets killed on the spot, is turned into minced meat and then sent back to your country >you spend the next couple months putting him back together with coinsWhy did they think this is a good idea?
>>2226074I don't know anonThe Netherlands at their peak only colonized a small corner of AmericaThough I'm not sure I should've overextended my colonies like that considering I 'lost' like 150k people to them.
>don't actually need to keep a cabinet member integrating provinces>clicking it once and moving him to the another starts the process>if you don't it'll stay at 0what the fugwhy would you ever keep it at 0? The maluses seem identical
>>2226116It’s less a diplomat and more funding what your diplomatic corps is doing. It’s more realistic than having the same three guys do shit for four centuries.
>>2226116it's more like you need to fund your diplomatic activities and it stops you from spamming them to everyone
>>2226116its supposed to represent an envoy of dozens of diplomats. irl you dont send one single guy. this is the old days were talking about, it took alot of work
probably the final war of my campaign, 428 battles btw
how do you assassinate?
>>2226125AI falls behind in mil regiments after 1500 or so, even the great powers use levies and outdated regiments (crossbows vs arquebusiers). Needs a bit of tinkering

>>2226118i ran out of peasants in my norway game, i had to give up on south america. my colonials are way bigger than me now though. not that it gives me much benefit, it seems a giant waste of time and people compared to blobbing or going east
War against Great Powers sucks so much cock it's unreal. You HAVE to play at 3 speed and micromanage tiny-ass engagements all over the map. They run into a bad engagement that should get their army destroyed? LMAO IMMEDIATE RETREAT FOR FREE! YOU CAN'T PUNISH.
>keep getting civil wars >civil wars require sieges to complete>those take forever>civil war enemy is insanely weak anywaywhy isnt there a 'force surrender' optionthe people waging the wars keep appearing out of thin air anyway (nobles)
>>2226137just delete all your forts!
>>2226135I really hate the stack chasing and the insta-morale regain.
>>2226120>>2226123What happens to the people involved after they finish the mission, do they just ascend to heaven?I guess the diplomatic funding part is more reasonable, but how much fucking funding do you need to write a message and send an envoy?
>>2226143also locked retreat is ass, I am flanking with another army reward me for proper strategy! It's why they never went ooga booga with 1 big army and instead splintered it into a few idnividual ones so that one battle wouldn't decide the outcome of the war
Is it better to just eat being over diplomatic capacity even at the expense of 30% crown power? My arrogant rival tried to invade me so, through strategy, I flipped it on them and ended up with a new subject. They pay me so much every month. But also are over the diplomatic capacity.
>>2226144Travel was extremely expensive and dangerous in these times. Even traveling from one end of england to the other took weeks if you went as fast as possible
>>2226110>game about building infrastructure>German 87%+hehehe
I want to play England but I dont want to do the 100 years war
>>2226147Yes, I don't get why an army can easily run through your army because "I'M RETREATING!!!!"
how do I actually trademaxx? just build trade offices in foreign countries and set trade to automatic?
>>2226071Local estate power multiplies the power that the pop in the province usually gives. Even if the estate has a lot of power, it tends not to make a huge difference because they probably have so many other multipliers already, so the downside of stuff like noble or burgher power is usually worth it compared to the benefit of the building. Counting houses you just want as much crown power as possible all the time so you're going to build them but build them where you have the highest pop first. Which shouldn't be much of an issue because towns and cities should only have high pop to begin with.
>>2226119nvm, seems there's an odd decay associated with it
>>2226154then just give them aquitaine and it ends
>>2226154just give up on it and go form GB and colonize
>>2226137Why do you even have forts?
>>2226149Why does telling someone we're at war have the same base cost of 1 diplomat as having a royal entourage lounge around a foreign court to improve relations for months then?
>>2226160Provinces integrate on their own nigga, adding the guy just speeds it up.
>>2226169they won't if they are not part of your accepted culture or religion, which was making them stay at "conquered town"the cabinet member can force the issue but if he leaves then it stops
>>2226159how does hiring a guy to count houses all day boost crown power? paradox you're fired!
Why is Palestine called FilastinI thought it was localized due to Arab culture but I've converted most of them to Italians
>>2226118That's because irl their focus was getting to the east. Did they focus on Africa at all in your game?
>>2226173The crown keeps better track of all the businesses going on in the cities which allows them to more effectively tax it.
>>2226156yepremove the missing peasants and building cap filters, shift click mass builddo this every couple years as you explore and improve relations with anyone you findvery funny how you can just queue up 50 buildings in someone's capital and STEAL his buildings cap and construction queue

>>2226181correct, that's how taxes work
how many troops does the Golden Horde usually have around the 1400s?I don't trust the number that diplo UI gives
HOW DO I GET CONTROL? i built roads all over this bitch and i still have 0 control like 5 tiles away from my capital
>>2226185you are supposed to have low control in the early gamebut you can help the issue by coring territoryyou also get bonus control in cities
>>2226185by releasing 0 proximity areas as fiefdomsonce you boost proximity annex them back
WHY IS THE GAME AUTOMATING MY ROYAL MARRIAGESIM FUCKING MARRIED TO JAPAN FOR SOME REASON
>>2226190dude that takes like 10 years. i dont have the patience for that
>>2226191Are you in a PU? For some reason junior partners are allowed to marry off your kids.
>>2226192it's gonna take you much longer than 10 years to increase you proximity enough to make it worth annexing them back LMAO
>>2226192I would say the game isn't for you, but the console does exist for impatient people like yourself.
>>2226183they get very few levies for their population if someone killed their spawned troops it's basically free real estate spawned troops correctly show up in the diplo ui
>>2226192
>>2226038It's okay, there are Muslim ones too.
>>2226116you kill the diplomat after he's been used
Are Training Fields basically the same as Armories but rural?
Why is there a green plus on the amber here
>>2226201Were there other female Muslim leaders than Aisha?
>>2226167It doesn't. Improving relations has a maintenance cost.
>>2226190>>2226195>>2226196uhm that wasn't me. so should i just release all this 0 control land as a fiefdom? how long is it gonna take to annex them back after the 10 years you have to wait? because annexing the livonian order takes like a 100 years for example. if the fiefdoms i release are gonna take that long as well is it gonna be worth it? or should i release a bunch of separate small ones instead of one giant fiefdom or vassal?
>>2226207there's a modifier on the province, above proximity icon
>>2226201This is why by the way.
>>2226212The trick is to release each province as separate fiefdom. They will also integrate and culture convert the area for you that way
>>2226213thank you anon
>>2226194That's exactly what happened. Literally one day after the PU the junior partner seemed to marry off my heir. This game is retarded.
>>2226212release multiple 1 province fiefdoms yeathey will rape your country if you just leave them
>>2226212I appreciate your commitment to the bait Anon
>>2226215>release each province as separate fiefdomIf you do this too much you will end up massively over your diplomatic capacity and take huge penalties.
>>2226212yes but use the proximity mapmode to get a better idea.and yeah release each province individually
Apparently it's a regency?
>>2226212can holy orders do fiefdoms? or would you have to release them as vassals
>>2226215can i ask why fiefdom and not dominion?
What even is the difference between Dominion, Fiefdom and Vassal?
>>2226220i have no idea what bait you're talking i'm really new i'm trying to learn rn. >>2226227>>2226219>>2226215yep just checked and i can only do vassals. will that also work?
>>2226232i think they turn as fiefdoms anyways even though it shows vassal on the release screenit does in my game anyways, and I haven't even researched fiefdoms yet
>>2226212that control KEKhoooly shit
40 thousand french peasants invading Benin in 1520 (not pictured: the stack that crossed the Sahara and is sieging the north)
'Upgrade Rural to Towns next to capital' -> build shit in them (market, library, temple mostly + RGO) works. Im now at 100 income 20ish years laterNow I double checked and Im actually the highest income country in Europa, even if not the 'richest country'
>>2226212i usually release vassals in groups of 3-5 provinces this way they get decent control and will be able to utilize territory properlyannexing those eastern provinces is pointless anyway, even with good tech you won't get good controlyou need to plan your expansion, just mindless blobbing won't doif you want to stay centered on the baltics, conquer the coast, you should be able to get decent control with navyif you want to move into germany, focus on brandenburg, they have a culture adjacent to yours, so you might be able to form prussia and get good control eventually
Accidentally married my heir to what ended up being the queen of Naples and half a million other territories in Europe, including Greece. Am I doomed to be their plaything? They're 19th power in the world and I am 48th>>2226177Ah, I should have clarified, I am Netherlands. I don't have Africa explored so idk who is and isn't there. >>2226132Yeah, colonization seems to be specifically for getting goods that aren't abundant in Europe, like fur.
>>2226232yeah vassals will workfiefdoms are better but are only available to monarchies
>>2226232Oh sorry in that caseIt's just that taking a huge amount of different religion/different culture land with no way to possibly connect is a comically inefficient way of expansion in EU5, you're gonna spend the entire rest of the campaign trying to make use of that stuff
>>2226234>>2226238>>2226240okay thank you anons :3

>>2226242but i wanted to crusade... :(
>>2226237what's with all the useless 0 control land?
Never mind, I have no idea what's happening here.
>>2226236all this "Realism" and they still couldnt simulate realistic supply chains. Stupid
>>2226239holy norwood
>>2226247wrong pic
Is there a console cheat way of ending an estate war? I need to tag switch to a country to stop their ongoing noble revolt because it causes an event to bug out since the nobles own the provinces that the event is supposed to happen in
>>2226236does food even affect ai?i was fucking around in scandinavia yesterday and had to actually play around foodit felt like ai sweden/norway just didn't give a shit about food unless they went really deep into my or occupied territory
final borders and control
>>2226260I imagine that they don't or have heavy modifiers in their favor but I'm not going to tag switch to check.
>>2226260Yeah in my experience they will often break off a siege the moment you sever their supplyProtip seems to be to build forts on non-food RGO provinces
>>2226257Dynamic institutions is a meme setting
>get Printing Press and Pike & ShotEasy life.
>>2226266Really wish there was a dynamic institutions, but only for Europe.
Dynamic institutions ruined a game for meGot locked out of paved roads for 300 years because printing press spawned in indonesia
>>2226250Not integrated but still conquered, mostly as to not have an enemy. I have no idea how to use such land efficiently yet, no building solves the problem with them.
holy war against... the orthodox empire ruling constantinople?isn't this a rerun?
>>2226266Well fuck me. Didn't notice when I started my game. Thanks
>>2226262What income nigga
Anyone tried a Nobility Electorate? How is it?
>>2226257ai is garbage at boosting literacyi was able to easily spawn printing press as muscovy
>>2226262Wtf what year
>1520>Hundred Years wars still rages onalso look em portraits lmao
>>2226279could have pushed it higher I guess but there's no point, it caps at 998k and manpower is the limiting factor>>2226282at the finish line
Time to rape the Tatars.
>>2226287lemme see the americas and africa pls
>>2226273You can turn on historical spawns for that.I always play with it after printing press spawned in india for me.
>>2226288Zesty nigga
>>2226287do revolutions happen in the age of revolutions? how is the 19th century like in general? any fun or different?
whats the setting to enable unit models?
>>2226285>chudjak and chad
I should have built a trading post day 1 to get burger estate Shithole bros, learn from my mistake
Has anyone played a landless yet? Kinda wanna do a Hansa run.
>>2226289NA is all my shit except Nova Scotia, is Central America is me and Spain, South America is me/Pope/Naples>>2226292yeah lots of AI countries had revolutions but gameplay doesn't change much in general
>>2226301poast china. also, can you colonize india? would be cool to do so as the british for extra larp
>>2226212Why is the Teutons again, is this the designated blobtard tag for some reason?
>>2226303I don't see most of Asia, and no colonization in India
>>2226304>blobtardis this what you call people who dont play tall now?
>>2226304>Why is the Teutons againi think you're talking about my earlier screenshots? i started a new game and i was trying to blob less. anyway now i made a bunch of vassals and have decent control. am i doing better?
Kek
>>2226304The game pushes you to annex the heathens.
>>2226144They obviously use the money to go home and wait for funds to go on any other diplomatic missions. Do you think they just magically teleport to the locations they need to be? Nigga got eat, hire guards, pay for horses, pay for boat passages, pay for lodging, pay for gifts, pay for learning the language of the court you have to go to, and then pay money ti get home. When you’re using money to fill your diplomana, that’s what you’re paying for.
>>2226310france is finally balanced
is using the cheat menu the new meta for better control?
>>222631475th power currentlyNo idea wtf happened
france is not going to suffer from this, are they?
when you appoint a general, is there a reason to use a courtier over a mercenary? they say mercenaries cost more, but its not evident how
wonder why some of my colonies kept colonising and some just sat there
>Declare war on Hungary>Have a long, boring slog that goes nowhere, barely manage to capture the capital after I'm at 0 manpower>Reload and let the AI control my armies>Fucking mogs the enemy in a few monthsBrehs...
Why are my units shit?Why does the game auto assign shit generals to armies?Why does the game not rebalance your flanks?What's the point of automation if it doesn't do this?
FUCKING USELESS VASSALS, HELP ME
>>2226318oh I had this happen to egypt when I raped them so hard they dropped from 1k tax base to 0 and deleted all their forts + army
>>2226328If the AI plays by the same rules isn't it balanced? Optimizing is bullying them
>>2226330MICHAELDON'T LEAVE ME HERE
we lost the war with positive warscore?
>>2226342common cathcuck L
>>2226342no wait, the war is still goingso I guess this is just a bugged event
I shouldnt have formed the Netherlands... wtf is this flag during the age of reformation
>>2226346Why are you balding?
>>2226346Double Dutch
>>2226350Wouldn't you?
>>2226173In exactly the same way that people paying in cash lowers tax take in the modern world
>>2226346looks like two flags having sex, one on top of the otheralso why are you bald
>>2226346>DuchyOh no no no no no HAHHAHAHA
>>2226185>roads>land/naval focus>naval presence>urbanization>rivers>canal locks in cities along rivers>crown powerI'm sure there's more that I'm missing
>>2226346No idea, but here's what chatgpt says about it
>>2226249You can eventually make good use of it after you integrate+assimilate it, it just takes a long time and at the moment the "meta" is multiple small vassals because of how disproportionately powerful cabinet slots are and how they're gated by tags rather than anything else
>vassals/fiefdoms get a mandatory -1 cabinet slotsDoes this fix the shitty OPM vassal meta?
>>2226368Why is this in Latin
any way to fire an artist? I found one with 88 skill
>>2226346looks like some shithole flag from indonesia. kek
>>2226368Your chatgpt is spouting eurobabble again
>have to enable 3D map to see toy soldiersits over...
>>2226368>pig latinyou tried to be aristocratic and educatedinstead you look like a dirty peasant, the son of a prostitute and a janitor. You filthy disgusting pig.
>>2226386maps have fallen
>>2226389do you mean dog latin
>>2226392Dogs are respectable creatures, i prefer pig
>>2226393pig latin already means something thoughbesides, pigs are smarter than dogs
>>2226386You can disable 3D terrain in the graphics options, though that's not quite the same as the flat map it's close enough and you still get toy soldiers.
>>2226386I've seen someone post a cap where I swear soldiers were on the flat map. Not sure how to get that though. Definitely should be an option, plenty of potatoes can't handle the environment but could handle a couple little guys.
>big country>literate center>many illiterate plebs outside>research slow as helldamnit
can someone late game post a pic of the 3d models? do the british have redcoats? redcoats really get me going
>>2226405Open debug mode and then the console and there is a "unit viewer" showing you every possible combination of unit, culture, etc.
Top20 PolandWhere to now?
>>2226412why do kids love to make hideious snakes like this
>>2226407>ConsoleI'm not a cheating pleb.
>tried to do hardcore absolutistic serfdom Russia run>never changed church slavonic liturgical language>was with 3-4 cities and a couple of towns the whole game>conquered shitostani steppes>average literacy is somehow still on par with other Europeans and beats France and Englandskipped whole industrial tree in third age though

Land expeditions take a ridiculously long time. Yeah, exploring inland should be difficult, but discovering coastal provinces shouldn't.
Post some fookin powdered wigs mates.
>>2226426it took me 4 years to explore the azores
>>2224889Teutonic Order
Priest want to marry? Fuck this, let them diddle kids instead.
>>2226420The whole board is ours
What the fuck is going on with France
Alright this run is bricked because the retarded game let my junior partner marry my heir off and now I just got called into a -97% warscore war.
what is this referencing
>>2226543Indiana Jones and the temple of doom
Is there a way to sort RGOs and goods by value?
>>2226516how did they get a nickname
>>2226319Why are they nuclear?
>>2226516I kinda want to do a noblemaxing run, France is probably good one for that
Vassals should 100% tie back to the noble estate somehow.
>>2226420nigga we're still below image limit
>>2226497join Orthodoxy
fuuuh I can't decide
>put troops to auto suppress rebels>they fucking walk over ice>ice melts and drowns ALL of themWhy the fuck are they allowed to walk on ice when it's an auto mission. I literally cant use that auto mission now
>>2225696Based. You VILL colonize Hong Kong. YOU VILL bleach Macau.
>>2226420kill yourself
>>2226420THE BAKER'S DOZEN
>>2225786jesus. I love this game.
>Destroy market>Game crashesWow that was effective
How can I kill another countries leadership/ruler? I want to recreate operation iraqi freedom but on what ever blob takes over Europe.
>>2226045I'm still in the 1350s. Spent more time checking out the demographics of far away lands than actually doing anything productive. I'm having a blast unironically.
It still stutters like shit at the start of every month though
>>2226654Thank God you can still savescumMy army is SAVED
>>2226738That’s autosave bro
>>2226318french commoners discovered rioting and job strikes centuries early
>>2226075>>One player picked the "positive review" age focus, and suddenly everyone's brains bluescreened and forgot what "positive review" actually meant That's actually hilarious. And who said Asians had no humour?
>>2226749I have autosave on yearly tho
>We should aim to lay roads from Napule to every nearby towb and valuable R.G.O.How do I know which RGOs are the most valuable?
>>2226774Just switch it to monthly that way you can just blame the autosave
>>2226356
How to increase diplo range? I don't even know what mine is because of this trash UI

>>2226301>Britain almost actually forms are we back?
>>2225109>bristolthat's not where bristol is, in fact that's where cardiff is
>>2226419desu serfdom is way too op for the land empiresthere's basically no downsides except some eventsalso possessor monastery law gives stupid pleb literacy bonus
>>2226075Why do chinks act like weird faggy little babies. Like what a gay effeminate passive aggressive way to shit on something.
>>2226563that's what rgo builder is for
>>2226738>>2226774You're poor and brown.
>>2227025>also possessor monastery law gives stupid pleb literacy bonusah, right, that's it. completely forgot about that
so if I want to export something I want a lot of trade capacity in my home, and if I want to import something I need to build trade offices in the market I'm importing from?
could this finally be the day the Golden Horde falls?Also just noticed Hungary and Poland are in a PU together, but since they're forever stuck in my defensive league they will never ever go to war with me.
>>2227200it wasn't
anyone competent at trade able to tell me exactly what pic related means? I'm importing jewelry from Bohemia's market and I'm getting beat out by half of Europe, which makes sense since I'm small, but how does trade advantage work? I thought it was mostly from exporting from the market I'm in.also related, but how does embargoing work if I'm not a market leader? Does any market member have the power to embargo a country from an entire market, or just from their trades?
go lose your virginity you retarded niggers
Apparently it's only gonna take 7 years, this is OP
>>2227529xaxaxa))) stupid piggies ur mine now
>>2227534200 years early innit
>>2227572i had this in my Russia game but it was giga Hungary instead. unfortunately they beat the revolution
>>2226346>>2226381>some shithole flag from indonesiaYep
Why do I get trade offices just getting built randomly and it shows as if I'm the one doing it and not one of the estates?
What's the ideal capital for a Germany consisting entirely of the region of North and South Germany? I ant to go with Aachen for the sake of the joke, but is there a better choice? Frankfurt?
>>2227883I'd say Frankfurt with the idea of pushing control down the Main/Rhein and the Fulda/Weser but I dont think you can effectively control all of Germany until the late game.
>declare war on some random shithole with a 2k man levy>your vassal swarm raises 30k troops
>>2227855foreign nations
