I made this but couldn't use it because the previous thread hit image limit
WHO YOU PLAYAN?
>>2268662i find it retarded that encourage immigration draws pops from across your entire countryif i encourage people to move into a city surely they should be coming from nearly villages first and not a fishing village a hundred miles away
>>2268654>played 80% of the campaign as Byz without noticing/revoking the consolidated corruption privilege from every estateWell I did pretty well all things considered
Posting last threads most fabulous king.
It's so fucking beautiful. If the horde wasn't cowering in the fog I would've killed them off.
Dauphine is cute
>>2268654When i see old art i always wonder what the modern equivalent of the attire people wearing is. Like the guy in the red, would that be a general in full battle fatigues or more of a generals formal uniform but wearing a vest under it for a little protection?>>2268664Im playing Milan but once i flip to Italy ill probably wrap things up. Im wondering if i want to take a break from the game till .8 comes out or not when i finish with the campaign.
>>2268664portugal. stole granada, morocco, tunis and rome by 1440 and snacking on castile atm, wbu?going to try and smack anyone who tries to colonize
my AI georgia finally figured out how to get independence from the horde
>>2268671Most likely it would just be a suit with a concealed firearm
>>2268671well the pic in the op is of a cardinal overseeing a siegehe is wearing his cardinal clothes under some armorso in modern terms it would be a civilian wearing their suit and tie with a vest on top
>>2268671>>2268678Nah, the modern equivalent would be pic related
>>2268671>>2268678AFAIK the attire cardinals wear hasn't changed much; just changing from high boots that are suited for riding to more modern shoes.I'd imagine the equivalent for what that guy would be wearing would be a plate carrier, worn over the traditional robes. Sidearm on the PC, I guess fastened to the left cummerbund in a cross-draw?
>>2268686These guys are blessing the missile truck, it's not the same thing. Richelieu commanding the siege of La Rochelle is a leadership role.

If I declare war against 3 separate countries NOT in an alliance/defensive pact/coalition at the same time, can they ally each other and turn my three simultaneous 1v1s into a single 1v3 war?
how many nigger levies do i need to kill to cause demographic damage>le peasants are worthlessi know, but if i kill enough of them i should be able to depopulate a country right?
>>2268654>Check patchie>No fixes for slavery
>>2268694No.The closest that can happen is that if they do ally each other, and you peace one out early, one of the others MIGHT be able to call them back in
>>2268697That's a shame I was hoping to force a 1vall against Europe as Attila reborn, Chingghis' second coming, the scourge of the steppes, NOVA IMPERIVM MONGOLIVM
>>2268695Not really, the impact on the pops isn't that big. You're better off full occupying everything for 20 years so they starve
>>2268700does starving kill pops or does it just lower satisfactionalso>occupy for 20 yearsif i dont fight constantly johan will force a white peace on me
>>2268701Starvation gives -2.5% yearly pop growth, so if you keep it up for a while it can really fuck them up
>>2268701Starvation is very effective in killing off pops. I have experience in said matters.

>>2268762*Tatar
How do I kill France.
>>2268755>>2268761Now THIS railroading I can get behind!
I personally think that you and the AI should be able to re-raise levies but at a war exhaustion cost, instead of only having to wait for them to slowly recover. It was good when you could kill tens of thousands of enemy levies. It helped simulate what would happen when soldiers raid their countryside. A shit ton of people died like that, historically.
>>2268764step 1 is not playing as a french vassal retard
>>2268768Im playing Dauphiné though?

>>2268811What is Satan doing in finland
>>2268816Johan is dyslexic, that's supposed to be "Santa".
>>2268814yeah she is, the slavic portraits are pretty good looking in general
im so happy moving the capital to get african tech idea has workedalso thanks to anon suggesting to remove all the trade for a month to reduce the cost, it helped a lotnow i can become the biggest slaving kingdom in the worldone small worry is that im regularly crashing 15k african armies of levies with my 1k stack of regulars which makes me believe that something is bugged (theoretically we have the same troops since levies are the same types of units but worse trained?)
>>2268825Regulars are retardedly OP after Age of Renaissance atm, the new patch will fix it
>>2268825I thought you tech tree is based on your culture, not capital location?
>>2268825What version?
>>2268829its a mix of many things, even religion has unique techs. The game doesnt tell you any of it tho, unless you count the starting screen where you choose your nation, the content section.>>22688301.0.8 without hotfixes
playing in china is fucking stupid man what is this shit
>>2268836the ultimate painting gamei wonder what the cost is based on, is it only for these provinces or what
By the Grace of God, We, Nicholas II, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias — of Moscow, Kiev, Vladimir, Novgorod; Tsar of Kazan, Tsar of Astrakhan, Tsar of Poland, Tsar of Siberia, Tsar of Tauric Chersonesus, Tsar of Georgia; Lord of Pskov, and Grand Duke of Smolensk, Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, and Finland; Prince of Estonia, Livonia, Courland, and Semigalia, Samogitia, Belostok, Karelia, Tver, Yugra, Perm, Vyatka, Bulgaria, and others; Lord and Grand Duke of Nizhny Novgorod, Chernigov; Ruler of all Northern lands; and Lord of Iveria, Kartalinia, and Kabardia, and of the Armenian lands; Hereditary Sovereign and Ruler of the Circassian and Mountain Princes and of others; Lord of Turkestan; Heir of Norway; Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, Stormarn, Dithmarschen, and Oldenburg, and so forth, and so forth, and so forth.
>>2268845i can only take provinces in east, west, north, or south china
>AI's side lost 200k troops and didn't win a single land battle in the entire war>war enthusiasm due to "Military Balance": +28% (me have big number levies)
I absolutely fucking hate all the spindly corridors with big gray splotches in between them on the map. Even with "fill terrain", they don't fill when you control all the surrounding area.
>>2268836what's wrong?
>>2268831It doesn't help that its a pain to traverse the tech trees
>>2268776>they're all at the very tailendI have a recommendation that's unfortunately also in the 1800's but I assure you it is amazing and worth your time.https://youtu.be/ZSaGPIpb830Waterloo is about the Hundred Days and obviously about the Battle of Waterloo. It was filmed in 1970 with no CG of any kind, the director somehow managed to get the Red Army to provide entire divisions of soldiers to dress up in fully-accurate LARP gear to serve as extras. The soundtrack is great, the first time I watched the film years ago I had https://youtu.be/N2unl3rIgOU as my alarm audio. Even now I still keep https://youtu.be/sFXv3Un_LHY as part of my cooking playlist. The ballroom scene, the charge of the Scots Greys, the doomed advance of the Old Guard, "my God, I've lost my leg"... the purest undiluted kino.The King(2019) is good as well, set at the START of EU5's 1337-1836 time period with Henry V's buttblasting of the French at Agincourt. I don't really care for normie actors usually but Timmy Chalamet and that Twilight vampire guy both do really well in this movie. Loved the scenes where Sir John Falstaff leads the English armor to get rolled by the French cavalry.The Borgias(2011) is about Italianiggers doing their backstabbing bullshit. It's not as good as my previous two recommendations, the series got its start during that "dude Game of Thrones is really popular, we need more medieval political drama shows NOW!" era. Still fun to watch Jeremy Irons as Pope Alexander VI.

Playing as Finland and observing how Sweden and Denmark fight naval wars is absolutely hilarious. Denmark on paper has consistently at least twice the ships, in one war they had 10 times the fleet and yet they consistently lose the naval war because for some reason they don't bring out their own navy except exposed transports which Sweden obsessively then hunts and destroys. Denmark with it's massively superior combat fleet never takes a single engagement but happily loses hundreds of transports over years.
>>2268654Is this worth it or better just take land and release moldova (my heir is their heir too so will force PU with them soon anyways).My fear is that if I get in the union with them, will they become the senior partner since they are of greater power score than me? Also might take FOREVER to annex them, it could be faster if I just keep bullying them every 10 years and grab more and more land

Is it better to force culture on my vassals or just eat the penalty when annexing? How long does it take to get them loyle again?Is it more efficient to do more than 1 at a time? The culture penalty +50% plus the doing 2 at a time penalty of plus 50% gives 0 progress each month>>2268664Tunis

So what's the verdict on having multiple markets instead of one big one? If everythint depends on control and access that radiates only from the capital then there shouldn't be any difference, right?
>>2269021Worth if your country is big enough and you build them in your border regions IMO.
>>2269021Access radiates from the market center not the capital, that's the point of having multiple ones.
>>2269029But to make actual money there you need control?

>>2269035Ask catholic countries for gibs
>>2269035Try to get done with the war as fast as you can and turn sliders down until you can survive. Then you go to the diplomatic decisions and do request military aid or what it's called. In the beginning you can probably ask like 200+ countries, so look at the countries and take whoever gives you the most per month.If you are lucky Bohemia will give it to you. Requirements for accepting are, 1. they are catholic, 2. they have enough (I think 100) opinion of you.Now you can also ask for financial aid once a year, NOT per country but in general. So getting Bohemia or the papal state early will be big. Unfortunately financial aid caps at 500 gold, so even if they make 5k per month they won't give you more
>>2268955graz is the best main-city btw. I citied Judenburg and let the other Goldmine rural as comparison. But rural 1400, the rural one is still Double the income

>>2269055AI is getting too intelligent it`s OVER humansisters
yeah you think you're cool with Judenburg but just remember that Spain had a town called Castrillo Motajudíos (Jew-hill camp), changed it to Castrillo Matajudíos (camp of the Jew-killers), and then changed it back to Castrillo Mota de Judíos after giving in to modernist pressureand that the French had a hamlet called La Mort aux Juifs (Death to the Jews) until about the same time
>>2269059
>>2269059Nice flag Spanishbros
>>2269055Also, there's no good cb to take provinces from them as well as their vassals. Either way you take a huge warscore hit.

>>2269105>ai derangement syndromeThat's obviously a phonetic spelling, it's Hertford the way a Welsh person would write it. Now sure, that's just about the lowest form of exonym you can have but it's also perfectly acceptable.
>>2269129switching on manual taxation on my estates solved thatbut I still got no clue on how I'm supposed to hit 75% crown power
>>2269144>"it's Hertford the way a Welsh person would write it">Except nobody in the history of the Internet has ever done it, not even one(1) time
>>2269145You need to disembowel your estates and revoke as much as you can.
EU5 needs to simulate bastard children and cadet houses
>>2269150You're not wrong
>>2269143and what the fuck a foreign nation has a seccesionist movement wanting to join my own nation and presumably due to automation there was no notification of thisMan I just didn't want to have to juggle opinion improvements and shit
>>2269150play as ingerland, you will get events about the forming of house stark and lannister which sets you up for a civil war event later
>>2269133You need regulars to have crown characters as generals during peace time so make at least 2-3 units right at the start with the sergeantry that you get in your capital. Outside of that if you aren't a one province minor you definitely want a professional army asap, some cannons do wonders to sieges and regulars beat levies really hard. No reason not to have regulars as soon as it's reasonable to afford them.>>2269146Welsh didn't own Hertford. Try to do the reverse where you search for welsh places with for instance ford in their english name and see how the welsh spell them.
>>2269131the units themselves are not an issue, its the markersyou can still click on the 3d model units and hover over them to get information, have battles and so on, but the little 2d rectangle with the numbers on is what causes the fps drop
>>2268654Did (you) know? War Reparations payments last forever.
Buildings shouldn't be removed for free it should cost gold and take time to remove them. If a building requires something like say being in the capital and it is no longer in the capital it should be 'deactivated' instead of demolished.
>>2269154>you will get eventsthat have extremely tight conditions that can only be met within a few year period
>>2269146Because why the fuck would they you idiot the Welsh speak English, and even if they didn't modern languages just use the local foreign names for everything.Here's a life shaking revelation for you: almost every exonym is made up. Just because the person who made it up wrote it down on Wikipedia that doesn't make it any less made up. The historical exonyms, if they exist at all, are going to be on old books and not Google.
Wait a minute, is it possible to do coup with the regent?
>>2269150There's a random event that decides your great great grandfather was actually a cuck and forces you to become a bastard.
>>2269091They nerfed the financial aid. Previously there was no cooldown for it. If you had a diplomat and they had enough money you could just ask for it. When I started my run it was so broken and now I don't even need their aid anymore>>2269096>This got nerfed so it takes up dipcap nowOh I didn't know about that. How much capacity does it take now?
>>2269165too much, i asked bohemia for military aid, it costs 2.8
Anyone know how zones of control really work? If I build this castle in Liwa, will that lock enemies trying to pass through Marawah and force them to siege the castle first? The description seems ambigious for this case.
>>2269164It also wasn't explicitly cuckoldry in previous eu titles but rather a suggestion that your house originated from the peasantry.
>>2269170No it won't
>>2269170Yes that's how it should work, it's kind of buggy but don't worry about it
>>2269170from what I understand the AI can just walk past it but (you) would have to siege it if Oman was an AI controlled nation
>>2269170it should work as long as none of the neighboring squares to Marawah are occupied
>>2268691I wish the ottomemes would blob as much as the French do
ZoC is a Paradox community manager ploy to see how much they can get away with and still have people defending them
>>2269091delete some forts
>>2269172>>2269173>>2269175>>2269176Well that's concerningSo are people confused about zones of control because there's different rules for AI and the player?Does neighboring squares to Marawah mean as long as the enemy doesn't do a naval invasion to the other side of the coast I'm safe?
>>2269180this was a thing in EU4 too where people insisted the AI would cheat and walk through zone of control, to simplify: if the only land nearby is owned by you, then the fort will work properly
>>2269163Yes? I did it all the time in one of my game, king kept dying and instead of dealing with regency I just make him the new king, it costs almost nothing iircIt's the regent character sheet
>>2269163Shogun bros SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN
what's the lore on the goosedid Martin Luther have a pet goose
>>2269190It's religious symbolism, and is a Swan.
>>2269183So in my specific case, if the AI comes from the west along the coast, and tries to cross Marawah, it won't be able to until either sieging down the castle in Liwa or navally invading the province east of Marawah to skip the zone of control entirely? Am I understand this right? I need to be safe from the sand nigger tribes in the west trying to bash my head in with their 20k levies until I can start research professional armies.
>>2269190Jan Hus?
wasn't max cannons supposed to be good? my 30 falconets are eating absolute shit to armies 30 arqebusiers would chew up, you fuckers lied to me
>>2269190if you read into the lore you find out that the goose was actually behind it all
>>2269169Just looked at my playthrough and I have a cost of 0 on all of them. It says the costs are influenced by trust minus 5-10% on each entry. It may be because I have a high diplomatic reputation (hegemon) or because I am great powert Nr.1, or it is simply bugged because I started when they weren't nerfed already.
>>2269194Do you have padding
Are there feudal contracts between liege and vassal like in CK3?
>>2269197yeah. to be more specific my setup is 2 arqebusiers 8 cannons *3
>>2269194falconets are earlygame shitartillerymax only works lategame. like age 5 and 6
>>2269190it represent his satanic origins
alright i'm running so low on iron i'm having to mass bog smelters. i conquered a new spot but it's in a different market that i don't control the hub of, how do i ensure my mined iron goes to the rest of my nation? am i just fucked there?
>>2269190https://lutheranpress.com/pages/about-the-swan
>>2269178>people spend over a decade claimng that the AI cheats at EU4 ZoC>pieces of evidence provided in that time:>0Amazing.
>>2269180>because there's different rules for AI and the player?There isn't. People are just retarded.
>>2269194Cannons got hit decently hard in 1.0.8
>>2269199no but they aught to have them.
>>2269196hmm, i'm restarting my run and i'm going to see what i can do
>aughtI know what you are.
>>2269190It's symbolism for Jan Hus
>eradicate the ottomans as byzantiumno event>end the turk situationno event that praises our might>reclaim Jerusalemno event>reclaim romeone event when it's converted to orthodox>kills some rebels in anatolia and then I gets this eventalright, how many events did I actually miss because of shit is bugged?
>>2269217But if it's like that I don't really know what you would do. In the beginning you are completely reliant on catholic gibs...
>>2269196I'm sure you're not some fool who didn't wait for at least 1 month tick. That would be very dumb.
>>2269221>Basileus RurikovichFucking BASED
Since reddit has proven to be a botted manufactured consensus propaganda site. Could Paradox drop off the EU5 subreddit and never listen to them again?
>>2269222regulars being really OP now helps a lot, defeating lithuania is no problem at all but it's really just my economy
>>2269223I didn't but even when I do nothing changes. Still 0 everywhere. I mean I would have noticed if it was like that because I have over 40 who support me.But I have to see, I really don't doubt that it could just be bugged. Because after the nerf my estates were also all called something like "clerics_estate_stand" and the tooltips that tell me which provinces need workers for RGOs just don't tell me the name, it's blank. Something got fucked after the update>>2269217 for your information as well, it's probably just bugged on my end
>>2269180It's concerning that people are talking while being confused about how it should work, yes. It's a different story if there's a bug they're aware of. There are some people that falsely believe that being concise means not giving any context clue what they mean.I don't know if it's bugged currently, but >>2269176 is how it *should* work.
>>2269134historycels are there really no examples of conquistadors attacking european colonies???
>>2269221Wtf... railroadsisters...
>>2269228the teutons had this same issue IRLyou can make some good money enslaving the lithuanians and putting them to work in your newly minted 8/8 amber RGOs
>>2269143I should have just canceled when I first noticed the annexation happening it wasn't that far along, but i'm in too deep to stop now, but this has been a lot of sitting around doing nothing because I can't declare war from my only diplomat being too busy.
>>2269229No wait, it's even on a new playthrough. Seems to be just a translation bug. Then I'm not sure why it doesn't take any diplomatic capacity

Aren't they supposed to implode when they lose all their armies/levies?
>>2269192The rules are relatively simple. 1. From a ZoC, you can only move towards a fort or a free space2. You can move to any friendly territory from a ZoC3. You can move to any enemy territory from a friendly territoryThere's some emergent problems here that might trap your army or cause funny behavior.I see a lot of posts where people are outright confused about this fact. They're confused about how the AI can ignore it in places where they very clearly should be able to ignore it.
>100+ antagonism with most of my neighbours>not even expanding as fast as historical Bottomanswhat do
>>2269247no?
>>2269249kill them more
>>2269247Yes!
>Still on 1.0.0>Playing Austria>Bohemia is a bastard who makes getting and keeping Emperor impossible.>Expanding is a mess, mainly alliances screw you over.>Day 1 built Vienna market, instantly started profiting big>Spent 100 years building up to buck Bohemia who became Military Hegemon, only barely get by with the skin of my teeth>Achieving historical Austrian borders didnt happen until 1444 because waiting for Parliament claims>I've already spread the Von Habsburgs to most of Europe, even some Bishoprics somehow, but have 0 unions because I'm not strong enough>I have a trillion micro-subjects in high germany>Its a quarter through Age 3 and Printing Press spawned in Vienna>I'm finally emperor after obliterating Bohemia three times in a row>Bastard bitch Bohemia converted to Hussite and converted back to Catholicism without me fighting them>France is still stronger than me but I have a decent alliance network>Savoy formed Burgundy so for a while there were 2 BurgundysAge of Reformation is going to be such a bitch.
>>2269212>>2269183Retard. There's multiple exploits where you can bypass ZoC and the AI was specially good at doing them because it can react instantly and click a thousand things a second.EU5 ZoC is bugged in a different way relating to the fort province itself having wonky ZoC, that's why both player and AI armies constantly get stuck when that literally never happened in EU4.
>>2269249Antagonism doesn't matter.
>>2269249You should look at history. The Ottomans absolutely were a pariah. They also had to fight coalitions of Europeans. It is all natural.
Shouldn't libraries be run by the clergy?
>>2269258*allies France*
How does interest work, is it stupid to repay debts at once? Because it says there is interest but at the same time it tells you how long you will have the debts left
>>2269262The interest you pay gets deducted from the remaining debt. You pay it either way. I don't know why it's this way, but it was this way in at least EU4.
>>2269262I'd tell you but it's financially in my best interest to not.
>>2269265So the total amount will be the same?
>>2269269Yeah. I haven't checked if there's some hidden modifiers that disagree with me, but your debt gets smaller every month by just paying interest, just like previously. Paying early only gives you your crown power back.
>>2269221What if we dont get events but there is a tab of decisions which get shown when relevant and terms to complete them so we know how to actually fire these things, does that make everyone happy?
>>2269270>Paying early only gives you your crown power back.True, even if nothing else this is enough reason to do it
>>2269272Would be great for stuff like laws yeah.
okay so actually how do you play this out
>>2269272Dont get mission trees*
I can't do nothinI don't understand why my gorgeous wife miss Maria became the ruler of Portugal while her brother became the pretenderEither way there is no game mechanic that will allow me to influence the suppression of the rebels, I just have to sit here and hope for the best.
>>2269258Coalitions are stupid because being coalitioned by a dozen OPMs adds -1000 to making any alliances.Also what's the fucking point of having such a granular antagonism system when everybody just joins the same global coalition and you need to fight Europe + India + Africa all at the same time because you stole one too many maps.
>>2269277by killing your enemies
>>2269272EU3 had a decisions tab AND missions
>>2269272Decisions were great, why did Johan remove them? They are even in CK3 so it's not like it would have been hard to implement them in the new engine. Did Imperator have decisions?>>2269284EU3/early EU4 missions were good too. Would fit this game pretty well.
>>2269284And originally it didnt have any decisions at all so you had no idea how to trigger certain things like westernization unless you looked at the wiki
>>2269286And formation events were one off thing. If you refused to form Germany, never again.
I really can't understand how Promote Institutions work. Sometimes it gives excellent values, sometimes 0. The only pattern I've pinned down is that Town/Cities get much more from it than rural settlements.
>>2269281Yeah succession is really weird, the Byzantines for example consistently get the daughter that's married to Trebizond as the heir while all the male heirs become pretenders
>>2269281Ave Maria!
>>2269272I think Paradox doesn't want to do that, because it would make people realize that there is very little flavor in the game.
>>2269281>Either way there is no game mechanic that will allow me to influence the suppression of the rebelsCabinet action? Stationing soldiers in the affected locations/provinces?
>>2269272>what about missions but... we dont call them missions?contrarianism is a hell of a drug. this site has become the other extreme of reddit a long time ago. Most of the posters here are npc-tier but instead of political correctness they follow some non-written site ethos
>>2269285Decisions technically are in the game but it's literally only the country rank and formable nations>Did Imperator have decisions?Yes
>>2269299All that stuff is already in the game. The only question is if the UI is going to show it, or if you need to have some shitty website open on your 2nd screen.
>>2269258>You should look at historyBut that's railroading?
>>2269298I don't have an alliance or access because they Rival'd me day 1Even then I can't declare war on the pretenders or interact with them in any way.During this kind of pretenders situation it's like there is a bubble around the country and they are supposed to fight the pretenders solo.
>>2269299I didn't want to send the anti mission tree poster into an episode
>>2269272Bwoh showing trigger conditions is railroading because it pressures players away from freedom of choice and towards pre-set goals and rewards made by the devs>Mfw have seen multiple posters argue this unironically on the forums
>>2269282CK2 had an ahistorical but interesting coalition system where religious groups would form their own defensive pact (until you went over 90=95% and everyone from Europe to Asia to Africa joined one global alliance against you, including your religious head, who up until this threshold cannot join)Anyways I always disabled that shit because it would stop what would otherwise be intimidating AI rivals dead in their tracks (Mongols do like 3 wars and now have to fight a coalition of Indians, Persians, Siberians, and Russians because they want to kill a single count)
>>2269303so you want a mission tree but instead of the missions being visible all the time, you want them to become visible only some time before their requirements can be fulfilled? are you trying to make it in the most retarded way possible?
>Osman's dynasty died out because the regent seized power>then that regent's dynasty ended because the consort seized the throne during a regency>then that consort died a 84 childless hag, resulting in an interregnumDare I say it: kino
I want mission trees, but instead of missions there's sexy anime girlsand instead of completing them, I fuck them
>>2269247You have to exterminate every last one. If even one low level foot soldier flees into a wasteland, the Golden Horde's government is fully intact.
>>2269322BATV KHAAAAAAAN
I found a new source of income, selling sand to sandpeopleLets see how high this number can go, right now that's just how much they have on hand, so I'll wait some more. I already sold one piece of sand for 1.2k after the other sandniggers shook me down for 250 ducats and I needed some cash. Wasn't worth fighting that war when I'm outnumbered 10 to 1 and my winning prospects are more sand I don't need.
this isn't too bad, i'm +8 ducats if i don't buy food, it's playable
>>2269326thats what i've been doing for a long while. They will never sell you a province but will eagerly buy it and if they are rich its very profitable. Map painter needs not apply
Please be patient:Seriously - what is the right way to get more ducats?Im building up my RGO’s and buildings based on whats most in demand / most profitable, in all areas where I have high Control. But somehow I’m always struggling for money, it never really seems to ‘take off’. (Playing as Castille)My game is overall going fine so far (Damn EU5 is slow though) and I’m vassalizing all my neighbors and getting war indemnities which I then plow back into RGO’s and Buildings…But my economy still feels like it fucking sucks. Is that just Spain? Am I being impatient?Is it because I have Trade fully automated and it’s like fucking up my trades? It seems really tedious to do that manually.
>making subjects is the best way to minimax>vassals themselves suck at minimaxing
>>2269331Best part is that they can't reach those holdings, they have zero ships and Subay hates their guts. Subay will probably attack me again as long as I border them, so I will let the Jalayirids 'buy' (rent) them for loadsemone until I'm ready to deal with Subay.
finally managed to beat my nobility into submission estate-wise, but how do i minimize how much taxes they can collect? right now they're just draining my tax bases.
I love this mapmode.
>>2269333Get crown power up. 50% is doable. Build roads for more control.Conquered land is less than worthless. Vassals barely break even.What's your income/tax base? Also make sure to value court of the court modifiers, it's one of the biggest expenses.
how do i convert my ruler to the country's religion?
>>2269076Napoli.
>>2269337>pov: you're a french knight at agincourt
>>2269338Hey thanksI am probably missing some important mechanics - what’s the best way(s) to get crown power up?I swapped the Reform from Feudal Nobility (or whatever) to Autocracy, but I kind of don’t know what to do next. I know I can repeal privileges but that seems very expensive and I need them happy to tax them lol. (I really hate the UI for the Laws section more than anything. I just want to fucking see what laws I have and what the alternatives are at a glance). Roads, definitely. I learned about conquered land the hard way in my last playthrough.
>100 control deep in siberiaVGH
>>2269342you need to max communalism to repeal privileges without wrecking your country
>>2269344>touching turgaybro...
>>2269344This looks like such a fun playthroughPlease teach me your ways
>>2269344russian content is ahistorical bullshitthey also have some fleet bonus, yea, famous russian fleet
>>2269344t. urgay
>>2269344VGH
>>2269349russian naval history is a comedy
If I have a very good character, is it better to have him as ruler or in cabinet?
>>2269342>>2269342communalism and very high stability will help you start dismantling their privileges. additionally, bolstered crown authority from the parliament - 10% repeal cost reduction AND crown power, which also helps.it's very snowbally.
>>2269328sponsorship takes diplo cap now?
>>2269342oh, you can also muck with your laws a little. distribution of power is an important one.
>>2269328Can you hover over the diplomacy cost and show what the modifers say?
>>2269349>fleet bonusIf it's anything other than more sailors it's silly.
>>2269355Thank you, I’ll look into this
Reminder to breed your Studs.
>>2269349I'm going to assume it's a reference to Peter the Great love of dutch naval building.
>>2269365>no profit
>>2269347you just vassalmax i basically didnt manually integrate a single province the first 200 years. conquer, release, enforce religion and culture and annex them once you have enough proximity to make at least a little use of the landmany small vassals are much better at converting/assimilating and are faster to annex but you end up needing a lot more diplomatsim still on 1.07 im not entirely sure how it plays with the decentralization/loyalty changes in 1.08, transitioning to proximity and high control is probably a lot harder.
Anybody tried doing a Burgundy playthrough? Curious if they have any scripted content.
>>2269365unless you are in africa because despite them having horses as rgos they cannot build farms period (and ai will happily plop a town on that rgo)

>>2269342As Oman I methodically started picking apart the nobility, since they were by far the biggest and least productive estate. Basically means I ate shit for the first ~40 years, far into negative stability and pumping most of my money into it. Real wars were out of the question during that time. The parliament is key to kicking the nobles in the dick. Stack the 'Bolster the crown' and 'Support the state' modifiers back to back, so you get a 6 month window of lots of crown power modifiers and a revoke privilege cost reduction. Add as much communalism value to that as you can get, get your stab to 50+, time everything right, and you're able to revoke your first +100% nobility power privilege. Repeat as often as needed until they're weak enough to do it without the parliament.Of course you also need to grow your dynasty so every cabinet member, general and admiral gives you the maximum +75% crown power in total. Add some nice laws you might push through during your parliament rolls and it's possible.
>need to unify culture>to unify culture you need to be empire rank>if you're catholic you cant reach empire rankBravo Johan
>>2268889It's fucking bullshit that you can't prevent The Great Meteor. We don't actually know what technology the Dinosaur Empire had, maybe they were close.
>>2269372No wonder Russia is a backwards shithole to this day
>>2269369you can check in the country select screen, they have literally zero events and like 6 "unique" advances thats just shit like +1 dip cap and +5% army morale
>>2269374>to demand a province to get that -25% cb instead of the 25% parliament cb you need to be a great power>some oogabooga has higher rank than you because theyre an empire and youre not

>>2269377Sad.I get that replicating their rise is too hard, and just handing them the netherlands would be boring, but they really should amount to a bit more.
>>2269382Slav nationalists who hiss and shit their pants in the forums until their slavic shithole is overpowered need to be gassed
>>2269385Bohemia has always been overpowered though.
>>2269386...to appease slav nationalists
>>2269385They gave it several gold and silver mines right next to the capital.
>>2268836How'd you swing that? I tried playing as the Aisin Gioro tribe and I couldn't do shit. How do you actually gain leadership of a jurchen confederation?
>>2269371I wish Victoria 3 would represent this. Aside from the frustrating lack of flavor outside of vaguely being hinted at through game mechanics. I'm pretty sure the Russo-Japanese war would be impossible currently since big countries are always going to have more of the army and navy mana.
>>2269390i didn't have to gain leadership of a federation, i started as hadathe other members didn't end up helping anyway though
>>2268654What the FUCK is my clergy supposed to do after printer shops phase out scriptoriums?
>>2269387Nah. It's just logical. >Large nation in the HRE>All of the benefits of being in the HRE with none of the downsides. >Easy expansion eastwards.>Early on Austria isn't shit. Only faction that comes close to them inside the HRE is Burgundy (When they are part of the HRE) and Austria. There is no reason to have a issue with this unless you somehow think tiny German state 9563# should be stronger just because you say so.
>>2269394Nothing, they just eat food just like irl
>>2269372Nah the Tsardom still recognized nobles, depending on the era the power of the nobility could be overwhelming. Noble scheming and noble faggotry was a big part of the Time of Troubles. Everyone else being lumped together as serfniggers is true though
>>2269395>just because you say so.Slav Wakanda never existed, it wasnt real. It shouldnt exist in this game too. It seems it's you talking out of his ass trying to defend this stinky piece of shit plopped right in the middle of oyr playthroughs
>>2269398>Slav Wakanda never existed, it wasnt real.Germany literally didn't exist as a state back then. So, Bohemia will still be above it by default.
Jai Hind! Bharat number one!
Is this some historical shape or did they just choose the worst possible shape for Rotterdam on purpose?
>>2269400why even bother colonizing if you arent playing a nation that did it historically? disgusting going into siberia but colonizing feels so unfun and you don't get shit from it i dont see the point if you dont have to do it for RP purposes
>>2269397Yeah I know but I depicted it like that for the comedic element to workThanks for the feedback tho
>>2269400Do the ottomans ever do something
>>2269404No. Nothing ever happens.
>>2269404They succeeded in my Papal stats game and then I raped them to death because I was the Pope.
>>2269404everything in europe (everywhere actually) gets tied in to a chain of alliances and nobody attacks anyone
>>2269406They probably liked it given turks used to in circles with a dick in each other's butt
>>2269408Unironicly just like real life except the not attacking part.
>>2269404Right now the only proactive agent of change in the game is the player. The rest of the world bumbles around and if you're lucky, some countries that start strong in 1337 will blob clumsily. This absence of railroading ensures maximum player freedom and player agency. YOUR actions, YOUR choices... shape YOUR world.
>>2269401probably just to make it a bit easier to click
>>2269404feel like the mamluks are too strong to go east and for me, europeans always eat up the balkans so they dont go there either. aragon has owned constantinople in my game for like 200 years now and venice has been kicked out of europe and now is in southern anatolia and is a vassal of serbia.
>>2269410alliances should have a gradient of approval and ai should be aware of that in advance
People always forget but EU4 had the Ottomans barely doing anything for like 10 years until they hardcoded events for them
>>2269410Honestly, I feel the game should have random events cause wars if things get TOO peaceful. Only game I can think of where that happens is Galactic Civilization 2.
>>2269415Ottoman's have been all over the place. Early on they were a absolute terror. Then they became REALLY strong. Then they started to decline due to Mamluk gaining buffs. Then they got a insanely overpowered mission tree.

>>2269419problem is that paradox isn't nearly competent enough to combine their sandbox and AI in such a way that the great powers end up rising largely as they do historically without railroading
>>2269415Hardcoding is railroading. The AI should carry out recognizably historical outcomes on its own with minimal nudging>But that has never worked, AI is retarded and needs to be bludgeoned over the head to keep them from growing like an amoebaWhat part of no railroading do you not understand?
>>2269423the anon youre replying to is shitposting. you need to explain that to the muh sandbox retards on the forums and reddit who have johans nuts in an iron grip
>>2269425>>2269423
There's a mosquito in my room. It has been bothering me for almost 3 hours. The first 2+ hours I would try to slap it or pause EU5 to try and hunt it down but the little bastard is too nimble. Now I have given up. It can feast on my blood all it wants if it means I, Caesar reborn, the avenging sword of Byzantion, may feast on the blood of Turks and Bulgars.
How do i recruit Janissaries? Just plopping down the building in a location with lots of slaves does nothing.
>>2269426I know he's shitposting, but it should be obvious to people by now. It's not even just Paradox that fails at this either. Having the AI and game and level design is like a lost art among game devs, I haven't seen anyone do it well in almost 20 years.
>>2269431>Having the AI and game and level designHaving the AI and game and level design work in tandem* oops
>>2269414>>2269408why does alliances last indefinitely anyway? ck3 has it better, you can keep resetting it through marriage but you need to be proactive
>Peaseants are funding the construction of armouriesTime to lower taxes
>>2269431It's not a lost art. RTS and Grand Strategy games have NEVER managed to have smart AI. It's why strategy games always end up relying on giving AI cheats to keep them competitive. Forumtards who think EU5 AI will suddenly become functional if the system of antagonism, incentives, etc get fiddled with enough are either deluded, willfully ignorant or utter newfags to gaming.
>>2269422>>France beats England in HYW then becomes BBBTo be fair, would the game even be fun if England wins the HYW?>GH sticks around foreverI honestly wouldn't mind if they eventually formed Russia or at least took over the territory.>Castile eats its neighbors, often unsuccessfully, and colonizes everything it canAragon seems to bring it on themselves for rivaling them rather than allying with them to beat off France. >Barbary nations take pieces out of Iberia and Italy>there's an early scramble for AfricaThese two really annoy me. Bohemia and Hungary are somewhat acceptable, though I feel the Ottoman should be able to check the Hungarians at least somewhat. >>Yuan sticks around forever, sometimes it loses the southIs the event just bugged or does it do not enough?
>>2269438honestly they should add mission trees but only for the ai.
The bailif should give more or less control depending on how decentralized you are. Up to 40% control at full decentralization and down to 10% at full centralization.
Still fucking livid about this game's AI sometimes. >Losing battle of my 1k vs enemy 3k stack>allied 5k stack is on the province right next to this >animation shows them walking towards the battle>nothing is actually happening, they're really just doing nothing
>>2269438Can't they just get some fucking AI-Bro to make a good strategy game AI?
>>2269440If they did that the forums and reddit would shart themselves. I'm almost 100% certain some youtube jew is leading the charge on this "railroading is evil and will ruin the game" bullshit.
>>2269440Really, just have a option for the players that makes the AI HARD railroad everything.
>>2269417It's a bit after the EU5 timeframe but the first example of "random war" to come to mind is the Ottoman entry into WW1, where only half of the government was made aware that they were "preparing" for a war at allthen Enver Pasha, naval minister Ahmed Djemal, and the German Admiral Souchon decided to provoke an attack from Russia without notifying anyone else in the governmentexcept Souchon got bored and actually just raided the Crimean coastline with no attempt at all to make it look like Russian aggressionThere's no real relevance to this story. I just like how much of a shitshow it was, just like the Ottoman performance in the ensuing war
>>2269439>Is the event just buggedIt's this, Yuan will never get the red turban rebellion if they get an estate civil war (which they will, and they will lose against it because said estate civil war takes all their Chinese provinces while Yuan isn't allowed to raise levies for some reason)
>2269440, 2269441, 2269442, 2269443, 2269444, 2269445, 2269446 and 2269447 are all in this thread in sequenceIs the rest of /vst/ fucking dead or what? What the fuck?

>>2269448>Why is the biggest strategy release of the decade taking over the board?
>>2269443If you want a minor super computer to play the game sure
>>2269438Wasn't there some gsg where the AI wouldn't declare war on you at lower difficulties, but they still calculated that they would, so if you amassed troops on their borders they'd send you snide remarks explicitly commenting on the fact that they weren't allowed to strike first? think I remember reading about that on /gsg/ way back in the day when it was occasionally not a cesspool
>>2269353bros...
>>2269450For those sorts of RTS games, APM counts. Age of Empires, Starcraft, Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, Supreme Commander, etc. All these games have AI which depending on the difficulty will input commands at superhuman speeds and response times, or with millisecond-perfect build orders.
>>2269448
>>2269400You should've colonized europe.
>>2269446It's funny how Russia, despite it's army and country coming apart at the seams, somehow still managed to be more competent than both Austria and the Ottoman empire. I swear somebody once made a edit of that one Gimli and Legolas scene where it's Austria and the Ottoman empire. Wish I could find it.
>>2269448>>2269452There's so many EU5 threads on the 'log that even the people leaking from their clitties about EU5 have multiple threads!
>>2269458Don't worry, Total Global BROWNing is next. Desi will go from streetshitting to starshitting. Alien spacecraft will get their windshields splattered by the poo outside the loo
>>2269408Border aggression fixed this but they had to nerf it for the transgender audience who became dysphoric because of it.
>>2269453Aren't simple AI fairly easy to program? I feel like playing EU5 is still simpler than being a chatbot.
>>2269460Russia at least had a couple of competent men here and there, e.g. BrusilovI legitimately struggle to name any Austro-Hungarian or Ottoman officer who wasn't notable solely for being a retard

>>2269461What did he even say about "child with an african peasants"?Why are the people who make these threads hyper obsessed with black dick (in white women)?
>>2269464Simple AI is easy to program. You can actually see simple AI in action with EU5 building automation. All it does is spam profitable buildings and then a random mix of military shit. It's so simple that if you leave it unattended it will even build forts past your max capacity.The hard part is making AI that """organically""" behaves in a way that would be fitting for the countries in the game. Hence the need for hardcoded behaviors and the "but that's le railroading" from retards who think fixing mindless AI blobbing is as simple as tweaking some values.
>>2269467high cross-polination between /pol/ and paradox games
>>2269463it didnt, im on 108 in ~1500 and ottomans have never crossed the river, byzantium continues to exist and will live forever probably
if they love the "content" modifiers so much they should just add some kind of a hyperagression modifier to some countries
>Want to play EU5 but too every bug and retarded piece of jank I run into drains my will to continue a campaign>Want to play HOI4 but the recent DLC is also full of jank and retardationI guess I'm going back to TF2 until Paradox finishes fixing their shit in 2 months
>>2269472>giving hyperaggression to AI that can barely even remain stable if left alonejust making it suicidal
>>2269450It doesn't with DE AI. CD and HD AI definitely cheated and got extra resources.The problem with DE AI is that it still has poor decision-making and because it has infinite APM it can (and does) micro so perfectly that it doesn't play the game like a human. It doesn't group its units up and attack in force. It doesn't consider the necessity of destroying a castle and will instead path units through its killzone.However, it WILL perfectly micro its dudes to dodge arrows and magnonel shots.
>>2269468Sometimes I wonder if you could make a AI that actually acts realistically like a country would. Possibly even have it's behavior be based on the leader of the country. Then again, I know both CK3 and Victoria 3 tried and mostly failed. Like you said though, you would probably need a supercomputer to pull it off.
>>2269474they have their cultural, noble rebellions but they are always able to defeat them
>>2269457ricer fags really think this horrific shit looks good
>>2269473>Hoi4 is jank right now>CK3 is jank right now>EU5 is jank right nowVic 3, at least, is somewhat playable.
Eu5s answer to why Europe conquered the world instead of east asia seems to be that the asians used all their lumber on laquerware
>>2269476I think AI mostly reacts like a real country would already. The problem is that the game is not real life, so optimal solutions in the game look very different compared to how history actually unfolded.
>>2269476You theoretically could but the resources involved would be, yeah, supercomputer-tier and completely outside the scope of a video game. The next best thing is once you have simple AI with enough caveats to keep it competent, you add hard-coded guidelines(le railroads) that go "Ottoman AI, it is time to rape Byzantium to death. Also you should be able to succeed in this 90% of the time because unless the Byzantines is player-controlled, we have designed them to be weak enough for you to kill them" or "Austria AI, it is time for your historical marriage event that expands your power base a bit and sets you apart from other HRE members"

>>2269448its a paradox board, everything that isnt paradox or 20 years old is met with >buy an ad
>>2269482I guess? If anything the AI might almost be TOO rational of a actor at times. Though I can understand why from a gameplay perspective. Biggest issue I have right now is that peace treaties just seem... fucked. I get that enclaves existed historically but there's a reason why they were a historical rarity in Europe.

Yuan is guaranteed to collapse, China is guaranteed to remain fractured, Japan is guaranteed to be buckbroken by Sengoku Jidai. You have precious metals and, being a peninsula, can pump control all along your country's coast with maritime presence. After you build up for a couple decades you get to act out a gook hypernationalist's wildest alt-hist dreams on all your neighbors.

>>2269504tbf russia was an actual nation. Austria and turkey were tao failed states germany brought in to make their coalition seem bigger, like the usa dragging poland and georgia into iraq
>>2269521You cant. The historical marriages that buffed Austria simply wont take place >>>organically
>>2269521>How would you buff Austria without adding railroaded events?You don't, the reasons they even got their empire was dumb luck
>>2269521find a way to get their ai to understand how to get PU's reliably and make PU's not suck.
>>2269470This is because they've nerfed it
>>2269528>>2269527I guess.I remember them being pretty powerful in EU3 despite not having THAT much more territory at the start.
mmm yes, Studs.
>>2269531They were good in HTTT and Divine Wind but pretty shit before that.
I swear I'm not a coomer but I can't read these two options and not relate them to some hanky-panky
>>2269521>>2269529PUs currently give a huge debuff to marriage acceptance, if you're already in a PU it's basically impossible to marry anyone except tiny German minorsThat's not even getting into the woman shortage: there is no betrothal system so the moment a woman turns 16 she is immediately snatched up by an AI nation, most nations have to marry lowborns for their dynasty to even survive
>>2269531That's because they locked down the emperor for themselves. And the gold mines.
>Korea gets a unique building called "Korean Barracks">It is literally just normal barracksHahah yeah okay!
>>2269536>PUs currently give a huge debuff to marriage acceptancePU's are kind of fucked at the moment in general. I don't hate them conceptually but holy fuck are they annoying in practice. I got my leader on the throne of Austria as Holland and holy fuck was that a mistake.
>>2269530and i never got that update, im not updating my game in the middle of a run.Antagonism is not an issue, eternal defense alliances are. When Constantinople was under siege it was in alliances, part of the west, everybody were chirring for it, and nobody came to help in the end.
>>2269521do you have even the slightest idea of how much luck it took for the house of habsburg to rise from their situation in in 1337. they should be much more likely to languish in a PU under hungary or bohemia than other way aroundgame doesnt need railroading, it needs catalysts for the AI to "do something". the issue right now isn't spain never forming etc, its that the game is just very static.
>>2269540>and nobody came to help in the endprobably because they all got buckbroken in the crusade of varna and were hesitant to help
>>2269539Mostly because AI spam votes which nukes your estate happiness and can drag you into wars
>>2269254>>Still on 1.0.0do you like pain?
It will probably take another 10 years but AI should not call multiple national armies for every single conflict. Portuguese will never able to take indian ports otherwise.
>>2269538You get them early
>>2269543Yeah, but in general you really have very few tools to actually get much out of the other country unless you annex them. It's mostly useful for diplomacy and getting a reliably ally. >>2269541>they should be much more likely to languish in a PU under hungary or bohemia than other way aroundTrue, but I still feel Austria should do better. Despite everything they ARE in a good place for expansion. Italy, Bohemia, and Hungary are all valid targets they should be able to, if not defeat, at least work to undermine diplomatically.
>>2269545Least buggy version desuClaim throne CB is broken but it doesn't have disappearing cores like 1.0.2+
>>2268954its a surprisingly challenging start, even the mahgreb region will shrek you if you arent careful. best start I had was to friend castile with favors and rival morocco/tunis. granada will sometimes rival you a month in and then do the same. immediately intervene in the moroccan/tunis war but be really careful with your levies and peace out as soon as you can get something, recommendation is to park your levy stack on a hills -2 tile and get them to sepuku pn your stack. try to get an ally of either aragon or castile, then hit granada asap (but dont call in castile or they will take it all) with your first parliament and take 2/3 provinces leaving the final one a vassal, release the other two as fiefs. do what you can to break the moroccan/tunis alliance either with spy network reputation sabotage or enforce annul treaties. snack on northern africa separately, constantly cycle war reps to dig yourself out of the shitty economic situation. deus vult should let you cycle in aftica, use parliament for tasty mediterranean morsels like naples, sicily, lower italian states. dont bother exploring just steal maps from castile or whoever is doing it (france, gb, the pope) but do start immediately colonizing when you can if thats what you want to go for. land control sucks, so just build maritkme presence and take all coastal land you can, build the harbors/wharfs/fishing villages. you can quickly outscale gb which basically opens up all possibilities except a direct land confrontation with france by 1400.
>>2269367Just trade them? The number is basically meaningless.
>Korea holds 4/5 hegemoniesokay
>>2269439>Castille eats Portugal but can't take Granada>France eats Aragon>grosshungaricums>gross bohemicums>English netherlands>grossmamulkikums>Ottomans shit the bed>Golden Horde still exists>Yuan still exist>natives in the Americas still exist>grossomolicums>Africa filled inYeah, looks like all of my games so far. Only thing missing is Bohemia having 1000 exclaves across Germany
>>2269539Unions enforced through a war should become dominions instead of an independent nation that can do whatever they want but just happens to have your ruler in chargeUnions that happen through marriage/inheritance should still keep the old system though (just fixed so that they don't constantly do votes that tank estate satisfaction no matter what)
They should have gone full circle and made eu5 set in a fantasy world. Nine would care if a fictional Turkoria didn't conquer all of Balkania
>>2269553The biggest problem with the HRE is that the Hussite Wars NEVER have any impact unless the player is directly involved.In reality it should decimate Bohemia and create a situation where a different power can emerge in the HRE, but in practice Bohemia just converts back to catholic a year after it starts and nothing ever happens (tm)
>>2269561Too few pops get converted to Hussite and Bohemia gets scared that they are majority Catholic and immediately converts backProsperity is too soft and devastation is not devastating enough>>2269560Fantasytroons still get upset if the AI doesn't do something in their setting, like the Jadd empire never forming in Anbennar
Wasn't there a setting or something to make Speed 4 into Speed 5 and for Speed 5 to be max speed at the cost of FPS?
>>2269558>natives in the Americas still existTo be fair, that IS historically accurate in the case of North America.>>France eats AragonAragon and Castille really need, if not historical friendship, at least more willingness to work together in the case of a French invasion. Far as I can tell Aragon and Castille historically didn't fight much. Only really getting involved in the case of civil wars. Right now the two are WAY too hostile towards each other. >English netherlandsEither that or France eats them because the HRE emperor is a joke.
>>2269565There is
It wasn't good for Zokka to always beat Jadd. Jadd should win sometimes and Zokka should win sometimes.
>>2269568What was it, the update made it fuck off or something and now I can't find it
>>2269559That makes sense. Fiefdoms are already kind of a weird mechanic right now. >>2269561I would say the main problems are that Bohemia and France is too strong and everybody else is too weak. Unless Bohemia becomes and stays emperor nobody can possibly stand up to France and it's not uncommon for Bohemia to start tearing up the HRE from the inside.
>>2269561My game just had Hussite Bohemia get declared on by the Pope, HRE, and myself (Naples). France joined Bohemia for some reason (probably because they hate the Pope).Our coalition lost.Now we have proto-protestants backed by one of the most powerful land militaries in Europe.
>>2269571its in the first settings tab, staring right at you
>>2269572>Fiefdoms are already kind of a weird mechanic right now.The upsides with them are that they can raise your ruler stats, the downside is they can get events that kill your ruler. If your ruler dies without a cause of death listed, and you have fiefdoms, they got an event that kills your ruler
when i set my navy to patrol the seas is it normal for them to just hang out on the same sea tile and not move?
>>2269572Bohemia being strong at the start but getting shrek'd by Hussites would be fineFrance needs something to make her vassals disloyal during the hundred years war (or some way for England to buy them off)>>2269576Wars of Religion will be fun because Bohemia will lead the protestant bloc to victory then
>>2269578>If your ruler dies without a cause of death listed, and you have fiefdoms, they got an event that kills your rulerthat is fucking retarded
>>2269576not horribly unrealistic, France sided with the protties in the 30 years war (while being led by a cardinal no less) to make sure the HRE stayed weak and divided.
>>2269581>France needs something to make her vassals disloyal during the hundred years war (or some way for England to buy them off)I'm pretty sure that already exists, the AI just doesn't do shit and despite them all being disloyal they don't actually revolt.>Bohemia being strong at the start but getting shrek'd by Hussites would be fineYeah, that makes sense.
>>2269576>Now we have proto-protestants backed by one of the most powerful land militaries in Europe.Historically accurate
>>2269579Read up on maritime presence
>>2269579If you have too few boast yes. They only move when their current location goes to 100 presence which is what you want. If you only have a couple of boats then the decay will overpower your ships and they won't move which is good so long as you start in front of your main port.
>>2269589Mine didn't move even at 100
Hansabros, I don't really get the purpose of the hansa exclusive trade ship, or trade ships in general. Should I build them and build marine presence or something? That's the only thing I could think of it being useful
>>2269579you can set navies to patrol the seas?
>>2269591cock mannice
>>2269595yes and it raises naval control
>>2269593Probably has another sea zone in the sea province that isn't at 100 or you didn't set them to actually patrol anything or just the one zone.
As England I vassalized Normandy as part of the hyw but they are lead by the french crown prince, what will happen when his father dies?
>>2269594Yes they give maritime presence which is extremely OP if you have more than 2 coastal locations
>>2269601in a PU? you should be able to force them to break the union
>>2269601they will form a personal union but will still be your vassal
>>2269602But I play hansa, so I don't have any locations. I build trading hansa buildings in every other nation
I wish they would bring back the lack of automatic military access from EU3 and 2. It's so annoying to play as Portugal and have Bohemia or Poland send a army all the way to Iberia on land.
>>2269607Presence gives trade advtange too
>>2269605What happens when I declare on France again? I'm going for a dual monarchy just because.
>>2269591Good friend of Richard Mann.
>>2269611they won't join, neither on yours or france's side
>>2269594maritime presence also gives trade advantage. early on you're not going to have massive amounts of trade capacity, but the unique hansa trade office + maritime presence lets you have lots of trade advantage so you're sniping the best trades
>>2269404no
>>2269615Okay and I'm really not overlooking anything, because I have Lübeck, Hamburg and Bremen in my Hansa league but I don't think you can invite more?The only thing I could think of is being allied to someone who calls me in a war and decides to give me some province for whatever reason. Then I could create that province as a vassl
Ambitions: countries may get ambitions. To complete these ambitions they must finish a set of tasks. When they finish a task they get a small reward due to national pride.
Stupid question: But did England at any point actually have a serious chance of winning the hundred year war?Far as I can tell from just reading Wikipedia: England did well during the early phase. Lost considerably amounts of ground during the second phase. Before getting somewhat close due to a civil war breaking out during the third phase.
If I put another culture as accepted, can I still assimilate them into my culture? Does it get easier or harder to assimilate in to primary?

I'm betting that something will happen this game.
>>2269663yeah bump up the cost of all urbanization, have another tier that's rural but not siberian rural tier.

There REALLY needs to be more granular message settings. For instance I don't care what so ever if a noble that is not my dynasty gets married or comes of age what ever but I can't turn the notification without disabling it for my actual children and dynasty members. There needs to be a "character" and a "crown character", maybe even a "close relative" (maybe up to cousins) and "family" (just direcly children and down categories
>>2269792I think the phrase means upset. I assume it is referring to how a swollen clit supposedly looks like the head of a penis. Perhaps suggesting their penises are so small they look like swollen clits.
>>2269358it doesn't tell me anything
>>2269799I sort of agree, I never particularly liked CK and this is to much of that without enough of a reward I don't think. The stats matter but you can't really influence them in any other way except choosing a really wide ability based succession law and then shitting out as many dynasty members as you can but that's cancerous gameplay due to the constant notifications. Meanwhile what you can do with the characters is really limited, you just put them in the cabinet and generals and maybe marry them off for CB's but the first could have easily been done with another law that lets you favor nobility or crown for those positions and then give appropriate stat boosts.
>>2269787Does it say why?
>>2269647now go look at historical size of their empire lol
is there anything in the tech tree to increase migration desirability of a province? does culture matter at all in this?

nice
>>2269710>less than 10kAre you even trying
Oy gevalt, can't let the goyim collect all those tollsApparently toll income depends on control, the game still let me have the 100% control on the city after the war for whatever reason, now I'm at 2%.

>>2269864>Aren't Ukrainian and Russian basically mutually intelligible today?Yes. I am Russian and I can understand what 99% of Ukrops say. The only reason English isn't mutually intellgible with other Germanic languages is because they let the N*rmans win
Has anyone played as the Hansa or a bank? I can't use my ships to patrol and I'm wondering why. I'm assuming because somewhere in the spaghetti code it says the fleet has to start in an owned port (impossible since you can't own locations) rather than a friendly port.
>byzzies>get enough maritime presence to reach epirus
>>2269864It's true. Modern Ukrainian has a tenuous link to Ruthenian which is what the Slavs around the Kingdom of Poland spoke. Proximity to other different languages and Russian kings centralizing the language led to diversions. It's probably not that they couldn't understand each other at all, but it would have been difficult to communicate finer points.
>>2269867>Serbs and croats move into the region>biggest population are "bosnians" k

There was no reason why trade leagues couldn't have been an international organization that merchant republics can start, instead of just being an extraterritorial country that can only accrue capital and nothing elseSpeaking of merchant republics (and republics in general, oh and this applies for theocracies too) right now your succession is just you getting a random literally who as your ruler, instead of the factionalism that these nations actually had. In ck2 merchant republics had 5 families all competing for power and influence

>>2269941it's really notthe first war with france is piss easy, you outnumber them and have better troops and their vassals are disloyalsubsequent wars are easy if you just roam around in a death stack picking off weaker armies and occupying province capitals, they almost never unify
>>2269941how so? wouldnt you just use your navy to snipe transports and have a mega death stack to try and wipe any that land? once their army is buckbroken you just go separate peace every vassal and take a 3 province bite out of the french coastline? even easier now with the levy system, assuming of course you get good initial stack wipes.
What do you guys hope for the Byzantium DLC? Personally I'd like to see it be focused on the mantle itself rather than just Byzantium. Like it gives content for the Latins reforming the Latin Empire. It could give content for Ottomans and forming Rum. Hell, you could even throw in an option for the Serbs or Bulgarians to take up the mantle. I think that would be interesting. And then of course content for Byzantium as well. It could be used as a way to "fix" the Ottomans as well as add flavor to the region.
Have you guys realized that there are a bunch of unique building you can make in your capital that give global bonuses like +.2 dip capacity.

>>2269958you can also build embassies in foreign capitals that give you dip rep
>>2269668depends on how quickly you want to annex them and how many diplomats you have available/can affordif you could exert decent control over the land NOW, one or two provinces each is good, if its more remote you can make it bigger, keep in mind that the vassals themselves also need to exert control internally to be able convert and assimilate properly, not to speak of money and men. if you had infinite diplomats i'd make every vassal 1 province each.
>>2269961this but it's niggbility

>Declare bankruptcy>Declare martial law>Declare victoryIn three easy steps
>>2269995>>2269994sorry thats the best ive got
idea for the devs if youre reading this. for large or decisive battles, in addition to giving warscore should pulse a zone of control or give large bonuses to subsequent sieges in the province or area. If you militarily crush someone the pops and garrisons should be much more compliant. this makes it advantageous to win risky fights in enemy land and reduces the insane monorony of smashing stacks then afking for a 3 year siege.

>>2270097There was a woman bias if you hadn't had a female ruler in a while but they removed that in the chud patch of 1.0.4. Just marry your male crown members even to lowborns and that will rapidly expand your dynasty so you have enough crown males to fill all the roles.

>>2270082Pretty sure Russians aren't the only ones who are dying in ridiculous numbers in that little disagreement.
>>2270103>>2270110Not only have they never gave up the land, they actively stole land from Poland, falsified documents to steal even more and then basically went rogue by ignoring the Pope's commands, since the Pope had the supreme authority over all orders.They're literally just German colonizers who subsisted off of western donations. Before Poland invited them they tried to do the same thing in Hungary.

>>2270122We do own toilets, Ranjeesh.
>>2270106Yeah, it's ridiculous. In reality the union was old enough to have fully maxed out integration laws by game start, but because Johan and Co, don't really give a fuck (until it can be sold as a DLC) every union seems to just have a creation date of April 1, 1337. You should be able to start diplo annexing all junior members at game start bar Novgorod if the setup was historically accurate.

>>2270at least you dont have to spend 5000 gold on it
>>2270226Oy vey, shut it downNext you'll tell them where their yule trees and easter bunnies come from
>>2270236depends on your maritime presence and techs.
>>2270234what even triggers this? I feel like most of my games most of my rulers suffer from this atleast once in their lifetime if i'm lucky even more than once.
>>2270226who asked thoughbeit
>>2270236You are going to need a navy of light ships but otherwise there is no reason not to. Have you forced them to convert to your culture to make coring them easier?
>>2270243Seems completely random to me.

>>2270242>>2270245Converted some of them so far, might need to wait a bit longer for them to actually assimilate more thoughGuess I'll mass build a bunch of light ships before starting work on
>>2270247barely nothing? admin stavs were a lot more annoying in eu4
You cannot be fucking serious wtf.
>>2270252jej
>>2270252Just pick military.7 stab is nothing
>>2270243>>2270246it's a random event on the yearly pulse. nothing to prevent it other than having the modifiers it gives
>>2270243It's because of a ruler's trait. Don't remember which.
>>2270252If you pick admin, do they let your insane king jeep managing diplomacy and military like usual?
stab hits were a lot worse in eu4 where you needed to waste paper mana to fix it and low stability could spawn revels with more soldiers than you/manpower mattered a lot more.
every time I look at this place it gets better and better
>>2270249There are plenty of gold abd silver mines right to the east of Albania - are there grassplains connecting them to the illyrian sea so you just need to build roads to get decent control?
>>2270257it has nothing to do with traits
>>2270260This, all this seething is ridiculous. The exact same mindset that threatens to dumb down the game.
>>2270268Just explaining where the phobia about hurting stability a lot of anons here got comes from. But yeah low stability should probably hurt more.
Imagine having your legacy be being hated for not automating building kek.>>2270255It is when you're a shithole.>>2270256Hate it.>>2270258Yeah
>>2270271low stability can trigger a disaster, but a disaster triggering isnt as bad as in eu4, which causes stability to drop, making you spend precious admin mana to raise it
>>2270271I feel like stability in EU5 more represents how your population perceives the stability of your nation.
What determines by how much can a societal value be pushed by?
>>2270278How much is pushing it in the direction, it raises the cap.
>>2270264>kingdom of the ottomansWtf are they Christian
>>2269945Not in my game>Spain formed>HRE never formed>Poland unified with Halych>slavs BTFO Golden Horde>delhi remained for the entire game and became the #2 world power behind unified MingCan’t speak too much on balkans/ottomans since I played as Byz and steamrolled ottomans ASAP. But Egypt ended up becoming my number 1 competition together with their Jaylarid alliance England created a gigacolony in South America which eventually became an independent ally that actually dwarfed them and was the #6 power by endgame
>>2270283Orthodox.
>>2270276What's the difference between legitimacy and stability in this?
>>2270287Can you look at regent history to see when this transmission happened? If the king isnt still a muzzie somehow
>>2270268I dont actually know if its true, or even whether its bad design if so, but my interpretation of these posts are that they think destabilizing events feel more likely when your country is already very stable. I cant recall very many +12stab events when I was already at 65, but that might just be recency bias. On one hand I like the idea of "being stable" means you might be more likely to get positive events, which could make it more impactful since people also want that. On the other hand I also dont want blobbing AIs to be eternally stable so there would need to be some corrective mechanisms.
>>2270288Legitimacy is specifically your ruler's claim to the throne and how much it feels like he and his group belong.
>my lord, this one guy in your court died>he was your sixty-fourth cousin seven times removed four times disowned thrice split>you have to be informed of this every single time it happens
>>2270296>your second cousin has just turned 16 ! Now you have to marry them for a -5 legitimacy hit!

>>2270236those fucking scumbag magyars ate half of Serbia right when I went to fight themBut at least it made them weak enough for me to just turn them into a fiefdom
Ethiopia for examplehas more people now than France + Germany combinedAnd yet look at the shitty mountain provinces for ethiopia... with garbage RGO's... not enough farmland, etc
>>2270291Not the guy you are responding to but I think it's a badly ported event from EU5 which startles a lot of EU4 and Eu3 veterans due to how important stabiity was in that game. If you happened to be low on manpower and have other factor that made your people angry a drop in stability could be quite disastrous and trigger massive rebellions if you were short on paper mana.

I can't play for more than an hour or two without crashing.>Ryzen 1600>GTX 1080>16gb ramIt's not my mobo, not an overheating issue either since I recently checked my CPU paste.I'm thinking there's a memory leak in the game because when I launch, paused FPS is pretty decent (100ish) but closer to when I crash paused FPS is 45-ish and my RAM fills up like crazy until I crash.Can't really get RAM right now because a good kit of 32GB is fucking $300-$1000 and I'm thinking a better CPU will just get me to crash faster.Fuck, I really want to play this game but it's just hard to enjoy when I crash every 30 min.
>>2270338they fixed an issue earlier today where your levies got treated as wiped out when you disbanded them. as in disbanding just killed them.
>>2270347>16gb rambro...i13600, 32gb 3600mhz and a very tired 1070 is what i'm running. the longer it goes, the more the game needs to track, the more resources it needs to hog.
building "tall" still kind of feels like a meme, since you can just get more new land while building up your core cities. Conquering land / releasing them as vassals isn't really "tall" btw.

It's been 10 years since I built this though.
Is this even worth it? All the good stuff is down in the south and Silesia is close by and extremely wealthy.
>>2270365No, the ram market exploded in price recently due to AI companies buying up a large portion of the supply.
>>2270347You're going to need 32GB of RAM and a much better CPU. I'm on a 7800X3D and fully utilized. There's just so many things the game has to keep track of at all times. EUV is perhaps the first game to be this ubiquitously processing intensive for better and worse.

>>2270362yeah, i was thinking of moving it to õsaka (75% natural suitability, 2 provs away) but i think i've minimized the prox cost to the coast decently well already. this is via Kawabe, one loc closer to kyoto than õsaka. the north coast has fuckall good locations though.

>>2270365I bought new RAM 3 days ago and checked the price of the same RAM yesterday and the price had gone up by 200€. OpenAI bought up 40% of the world's RAM supply a week ago, because the US' GDP growth is almost entirely reliant on AI at this point and line MUST go up and pumping more and more money into it (with diminishing returns) is the only way of keeping this going.
>>2270375A couple weeks ago. Just go to /v/ they're complaining about it non stop.
>>2270340what year? I just started colonizing so what tips you got?
>>2270369Fuck me, I'm probably going to have to go nuclear on a good CPU then.>>2270375beginning of last month RAM prices began to climb. they're like 2-3x higher than a month ago.

>>2270398Korea makes more sense. Chinks could landwave there. They'd get obliterated going for anything over the sea. Not sure war is worth it for a country that's main thing is trade though. It isn't like Paradox strategy games where you can terrorize everyone and they'll still trade with you like its nothing.

>>2270409I swear they claimed you could prevent it in the dev diary. But they also claimed a lot about Japan that didn't end up being the case. I wonder if East Asia is just going to end up getting a fuckton of content in one of the future patches. It feels like they cut things.
>>2270410Check for yourself. It's global. Your best bet right now is checking local stores who might not have increased their prices yet.
they need to re model how money works, having a gold mine wasn't enough to turn your cunt into a superpower
>>2270409it's pretty much impossible to avoid, yeah. you can however end it within like... 10-20 years by prepping like crazy.wage relentless war as one of the clans and you can grab 3/4ths of the country the instant you declare freedom from the shogun and become a landed country, and your fielded units will stay yours, you just won't reinforce them because your manpower recovery craters. i finished the sengoku jidai by 1413 as the emperor.
>>2270419What are you fucking retarded?
>>2270420eeeh, you form japan proper if/when you win, and you start allied with the shogun so you have perfect vision over the country and shit like that. there's not as much special shit as i'd like though, like in 4 where the whole thing was a massive vassal swarm infighting under you that you could gradually integrate.
>>2270364I picked it because it's more centrally located if you're going for the commonwealth
>>2270419>do things cost the same amount of money in germany and greece?Depends on what you're buying. Last time I was there, 10 years ago, medicine and food were substantially cheaper. No idea what the prices of electronic goods are like. >if not what's stopping you selling german tvs (200 euro) in greece for greek prices (400 euros) ad nauseumPeople probably wouldn't buy your 400€ TVs when they could get cheaper Greek ones.
>>22703791679 atm.>I just started colonizing so what tips you got?Colonies will start colonising on their own once they are decently big so don't feel like you have to fully paint the map yourself. You mostly want to just get the coast to deny other countries and then let your colonies slowly expand themselves with some help from you. Imo you want to make several medium sized colonies rather than 1 giant colony in an area so they each have better control, but not so small that they lack resources to do things on their own. You can order your colony to go to war with another enemy colony which doesn't call in their mainland, so if you have fairly strong colony you can force others out with seemingly no repercussions unless they lose the war.Make sure to build settlement buildings absolutely everywhere to boost pop growth and oversea trading posts to actually make money. Majority of your money from colonies will come from trade.Don't neglect Africa. My most profitable colonies are in Gambia and Zimbabwe because they both have shitloads of gold, produce slaves and can grow chocolate which prints money.

>>2270436>No, I mean how does one currency having two different values work? The currency has the exact same value. It's just that products are cheaper. Don't some places in the US not have sales tax, so products are cheaper there, even if you order off of Amazon? It's like that.

>>2270444/threadburgerGODS WON
>>2270454And I recommend to shut up about stuff you know nothing about
>>2270436The currency doesn't have two different values. Two items having different regional pricing is not at all related to the actual value of the currency.Let me put it another way: Certain things in the US are more expensive inland than they are on the coast. We'll just say for the sake of argument that lobsters are $25/lb in Maine where they're harvested, but you live in St. Louis. They're $50/lb where you live, because they're regionally priced. >Why?It takes more time, more effort, they have to be handled carefully and refrigerated, etc etc. All these things add cost, but the company selling them wants to have a similar profit margin to what they get from Maine. Thus, they increase the price. If a midwesterner really wants a lobster, they'll pay a premium for it.

>>2270461If the game is crashing then nigga needs more RAM, simple as. No need to be so confrontational.
>>2270457>>2270453Everyone else shouldn't 100% depend on it spreading from wherever an institution first spawns. Fulfilling the requirements of spawning should give the same chance for it to spawn at a second, third, and so on location. Lots of things have been invented at almost the same time by different people halfway across the globe.
>>2270455I mostly left the markets as they are. It will spawn new markets when you create a colonial nation or give the land to an existing colony if the market access is bad. If you want to minmax this then your first colony in an area should have good harbour suitability so it will be easier to trade with the market it makes.Another thing is try not to take the land for yourself unless really needed because giving it to your colonies starts the land off with a town and some buildings whereas if you take it for yourself (even if you intend to release it or cede it) you dont get any buildings.
>>2270467If the location is able to spawn the province it gets a huge boost and spreads there on its own.

>>2270473Well clearly he needs LESS RAM then. God you must be so fun to be around.
>>2270469thats only if it was able to at the time of spawning. if printing press could only spawn in asia, spawns, and then years later some europoor meets the requirements, the euro country does not get any boost. this also has the opposite problem where stuff like pike and shot is piss easy to spawn meaning it pops up in dozens of countries and everyone has it within a few years.

>>2270497That's Louisiana and Missisippi and it's literally the opposite of cursedFor a long time the Mississipi river was the gateway to the interior of the US. It was a fairly navigable waterway with thousands of miles of tributaries that allowed pre-industrial commerce before trains and steamboats.Even after those things, the mouth of the river was of obvious strategic importance.The Louisiana purchase was one of the most important events that ever happened to the US. I would say that it's the catalyst that pushed us into being a global superpower.

I added a little demand in a mod I made but it's not that great, too much demand and it throws off a lot of buildings that take salt as input on the assumption that salt would be cheap. Like they added terrace farms for the Andes so they don't starve (lol arctic climate), well those take salt as input, I guess they're salting the earth to grow more food or something.
>>2270534you will NEVER be roman, moonface
thank fucking god for the hussitessaved me from being the bitch in a union with Bohemia
>>2270537"In all manners but physical, I am Gaius Julius Caesar">*dies*
>>2270532everyone who is a real state and not a tribal starts with them.
>>2270535And you could be less of a dick too, takes way less effort than literacy raising.
>>2270542and you could suck less dick too.
>>2270540Why did Mitsuhide do it?
>>2270540That reminds me, I tried playing Oda in Japan but I didn't understand how to play a building based nation.How do you do stuff? And I was confused by that incident that starts. The nanbokucho jidai or whatever.How do you fight wars when you can't siege down specific buildings?
>>2270536>salting the earthwewladd that is the exact oposite of what you want to do.Anyway yeah make peasants demand salt could be a start to fixing it.
>>2270546Mercs?Wait for manpower buildings?Alliances?
>>2270546swap to building based nations mode. you, shocker, build buildings to expand influence. you also wage wars. when your army is in a location with enemy buildings you have a button in the army panel you can click called 'raid clan holdings', gives you some stuff and +20% warscore up 'till 50%. you can build regular units from the get-go as a clan, just need the resources to be available (good luck with that)
>>2268664ottomansnot even 20 years in and a coalition already declared war on mei alt f4’d out so when i start playing again tomorrow ill be at the moment before they declare, how can i ally a big guy in a short time to help me with this shit?
>mongolians and nubians in k*iv's court
>>2270552coalitions aint shit in this game, its likely byzantroons and other orthodogs in it, you can easily whoop their asses
>>2270551>when your army is in a location with enemy buildings you have a button in the army panel you can click called 'raid clan holdings', gives you some stuff and +20% warscore up 'till 50%Oh I didn't know that, thanks.
>>2270546oh yeah, and the nanbokucho is a sort of faction based thing that doesn't do much. if you aren't playing as one of the two courts you can declare loyalty to one of them. while it's happening you can only declare war on supporters of the other.i dunno if you can kill the enemy leading clan as a minor clan, but if you play as the emperor it's extremely easy because you have the fuckin' shogunate on your side and can nearly just march in.>>2270557yeah they don't explain it well and figuring out who is where gets to be a massive pain in the ass once they start spreading, because paradox somehow fucked up twice and still lets multiple clans claim the same provinces.still, just be on a permanent war footing. it's so much easier to expand by just beating the shit out of the other clans and taking their land. you'll want to spread to as many locs as possible before the sengoku hits at 1400.
>>2270552If it's not already there, build the Theodosian walls on Constantinople, build ships, build regulars. Who's in the coalition?
>>2270552I'm not sure if it was something broken due to uninstalling a mod mid-playthrough, but when I played Ottomans I melted every enemy stack with regulars. Just build some heavy cavalry, it seems to win all battles, and in 1.0.8 at least, once you wipe levies in one good battle they can't raise more. Bey Fortresses give monthly manpower, so you can build professional troops before everyone else pretty much. You can also get a second and third sergeantry if you move capitals by event (Bursa -> Edirne -> Constantinople) Then snowball with conquest. Go over culture capacity to accept greek, it's worth it for all the cores and levies. Press Claims whenever possible. If you save up enough allah mana you can call a jihad which declares a war with no penalty to conquest cost, which is better than parliament. It's basically a free war since you can invite tons of other muslim countries to fight with you, balkan nations tend to be valid targets.
you need SO MANY granaries to increase pop growth... how is this shit a good idea
>>2270565there was a bug for one version of .8 where all stacks counted as 1k men in power, so cav with high initiative was absurdly powerful because it's got 4 combat power and 7 initiative. they fixed it a while after, your edition might be old.
>>2270566You want an enormous supply of masonry to fuel building sprees, but if you build too much masonry becomes unprofitable and all the masons shut down, so granaries are the release valve for masonry supply that give pop growth as a bonus
>>2270566its not, its a complete meme, i have no idea why retards keep yapping about it>turn your entire economy into a stone-to-masonry-to-granary industrial complex>employ all your peasants to work in said complex>all to get 0.05% more of said peasantsjust pretend the mechanic doesnt exist at all
>>2270569You physically can't fit enough granaries in a province to get decent pop growth out of it...
>>2270566pop growth is exponential
>>2270571No. They fought, bled, and died in my wars, the least I can do for them is to let them be fruitful and multiply.
>>2270572define "decent"
>>2270569>but if you build too much masonry becomes unprofitable and all the masons shut down,Skill issue.
>>2270572It's based on how much food the province consumes. Granaries scale linearly but the bonus scales with consumption so more populated/affluent provinces = needs more granaries. Low pop backwater = a few granaries help a lot.You get the max bonus if you have 10 years of food consumption stored up.
>>2270574Nah.>Approx. 1100 peasants to produce ONE (1) food, and that's with several buffs from privileges and laws
Commoners and Peasants should be different estates
peasants by definitionshould not be an estate
Do I really need to manually marry off everyone in the character tab?
>>2270566little bro doesn't know about the ice age
>>2270566
>>2270593why do granaries actively consume so much masonry?
>>2270596erosionsome of the demands are fucked like salt being not worth anything
>>2270577over 1.0004^400 is only a 17% difference in ending pop. and considering most of your land is also coming from the final century that effect is even more fractional bordering inconsequential
>>2270596to be fair, by the time you have 31 granaries in paris you are able to produce thousands of masonry to compensate. it's trivial. But granaries are trivial as well.
and your 31 granaries give you 0.01% pop growth...
>>2270577you're spending how much to get 0.03% pop growth in ONE province?
>france day1 intervenes in scottish civil war>buy mil access from balliol and farm his scattered vassal stacks as they land in scotlandwhat a mess
How do I stop getting filtered by these games? I want to try EU5 because one of my friends is a longtime player, but I tried HOI IV and CK3, and I suck past the early game. I know those are both considered to be the most casual games in their franchises, so I feel extra retarded.
>>2270605/gsg/ troon, if only you knew how to fucking read then you would have realized that I don't think granaries are worth it.are all of you guys this retarded? I thought you had to read harder to keep up with the conversation when no one uses the reply function.
>>2270609I have 500hours in eu4 and never made it to the ending date, its far more common than you might think to play that way. what starts turning you off later? for me its as soon as I'm not learning anymore, once I figure out the optimal clicks I dont want to click anymore.
>merge 2 armies>general goes on a 1month hiatus>click one army to move into another>general staysvery interesting don't you think?
>>2270609You just keep playing them. It is essentially how you learn anything. Rote is the single most effective way of learning that we've somehow been memed into thinking is bad. The guy who sits around reading shit is gonna learn jackshit compared to the guy with actual experience.
man it's 1672 and i barely got started on taking indonesia. not sure there's enough time to get it all
>>2270605.04% tyvm
>>2270615Its a conspiracy to give EU5 players RSI and carpal tunnel
>>2270614Uh in HOI 4 it's just that I would always play small meme nations because managing a big one off the rip seems overwhelming, even though I understand places like US / Ger are actually like designated newbie nations. I remember playing Brazil and trying to takeover SA, but I just got my ass kicked once fighting started. In CK3 I played for like 100 hours at launch and would just get shitfucked as soon as my original ruler died because I was not very good at managing inheritances / claims. Probably just need to sit down and play for a while.
>>2270609just keep playing and stop expecting grand strategies to be carbon copies of each other
>>2270623In HOI/Vicky/EU you should play a stable large or medium sized nation first, save the meme nations for when you understand the gameCK is the opposite, you don't need to blob but instead make a strong dynasty so losing holdings when your ruler dies isn't the end of the worl
>>2270624>struggles with goi4it's over he'll be filtered by EU ui.
So i tried one of those matrilinial succession schemes out because all my male rulers suck...
>>2270626I see. I think I will give CK3 a try again soon as I like the lite RPG mechanics and it being more focused on your individual leader.
>>2270615>find the file that determines how long a general needs to get to the army>change it to 0 >nothing changesfml
>>2270623the two things you should consider, one good and one bad. how much are willing to micro armies for eu5 warfare (you can assign orders but its not that effective yet). watch a video of a streamer and see if sieging forts and splitting armies and embarking on transport boats is something you would do.the second thing is that almost everything else but war micro has an automation toggle, so you could let it play while you learn at your own pace. florryworry has some good streams up on twitch and shows all clicks unlike the other "content" "creators"finally i dont know how much multiplauer value eu5 will have because the games feel the slowest out of any paradox game so far.
>>2270615I don't get what's so hard about tracking where on the map a character is.
polygamy is actually a mistakeYour population explodes so fastit's 1430 and i'm drowning in people coming of age
>>2270633Tracking anything is very difficult if all the trackers in this game are anything to go by.
how many of these do i need to begin playing
>>2270635it's funny because the game has the exact location of each character but it doesn't factor travel time into anything for "????" reasons.
>>2270637248gb 9000mhz and CL1
teleporting indians as best commanders in the 1600s is still way better than no armies (wiz's idea)
>try to play ck3>game too shallow without pops+economnyFUCK>>2270642TRVKE
>the single most essential strat in the game is disbanding and reraising your armies when you take too many losseshow many hundreds of hrs before you realized eu5 is a tech demo? for me, almost 200
>>2270643atleast you can max speed CK3 and actually play 100 years in a reasonable amount of time.
>Try to play EU5>Religions are shallow as fuckFUCK
why do i have to press 'balance units' every single time i merge troopswhy cant it just balance them automaticallywhat is the point of this button
>>2270645more evidence EU5 is literally just Vic2.5>>2270647pick your modifier slop, goy.
>>2270645>disbanding and reraising your armies when you take too many lossesThat stops being relevant once you are a couple hours into your game. Also it's been fixed already.
>>2270642In Wiz's EU5, natives everywhere would have access to iron because it would appear in their economy.>>2270645Victoria 2 was like this and it would kill your pops.
>>2270648>press balance >it doesnt balance at all
>>2270648balancing the units fucks up your auxillary too so you have to reorganize if you want artillary in the backrow instead of the front like the retarded game encourages you to.
can you reorganize units manually i still haven't checked (been levy re-raise-maxing..)
yoo we got dark soles references!!!
>>2270654yes but I only do it to place my cavalry on the flanks.
>>2270646ck3 runs worse for me than euV but I also play with a tons of mods. But by far the worst part of ck3 is the fucking perk trees you got to fill every ruler.
you could in mote reorganize each flank manually, each flank had its own commander and you could even pick individually from an array of tactics that each officer would follow
>>2270650how about the 5-10 year timer alliances are on so that you can inevitably white peace junior partners every single time so long as you stay in long enough. fixed?
What
>>2270661And now in English?
and the other one where war exhaustion is basically a non-element in the game, and only takes 2 months of assigning a cabinet janny to clean up
starting a sentence with and is not legal syntax
>>2270668Yes. Get your fucking shit together, Lucifer, I expect better from you.
>get itch to play ck because of the characters in eu V>start a game as lothaire, pick rulers focus then I press 'C' for confirmation>this opens the character search gui>press escape to change this, see pic relatedYeah I don't care how buggy and broken eu V is it's superior to anything they've released in years just because he includes a fucking options menu to rebind controls.fuck you wiz.
>>2270658What mods even exist for CK3? Last I looked the community was pretty dead outside of agot and Loverslab
did you just march your army into a mountain pass in november?you moronyou absolute fucking imbecile
>win a civil war>i suddenly have 20000 regulars instead of levieshuh
This game is in 1.0.7 by the wayUnless i'm missing something this isn't just visual either, I select it and it reacts as if I chose it but then on the war declaration screen it still says no casus belli
>>2270673EU5 even has message settings. Maybe I was to harsh on Johan.
I always get bored of ck3 games after roughly 200 or so years in game. Especially if playing at the early start date, by 1100 I quit.
>call my ally into the war with the promise of land for him>the only thing he occupied is retardedly isolatedis this actually the province he wants? how can i tell if he is happy with the peace deal i am crafting? in EU4 the country flags would show a little thumbs up if they were satisfied
>>2270686>he conquers the enemy lands that border his own, just as i planned>he transfers control of it all to me????
>>2270674was the last time you looked before they released tours and tournements? That dlc was where things started to finally get better but eu V's release makes ck3's issues all the more apparent.>Wu Xia knight's (this one isn't even that bad and an easy fix with a mod)>boring ass focus tree where you pick the same stuff in the same order every ruler that hasn't been touched since launch>event spam without ways to automate anything, think manually aranging marriages but you can't turn the pop ups off, and they take up your whole screen and play an unmuteable sound effect>characters from the otherside of the world just randomly showing up in places they couldn't easily reach. mongols in iceland, french peasant in india etc.>hundreds of thousands of levies may be raised (easily fixed with mods at least) leading to silly huge wars of numbers>BUNCH OF EVENTS THAT RETROACTIVELY MAKE YOU GET KEKED>Overall terrible writing that completely takes you out of the time period>Straight up not enough events so you get bored after two three generations.>>2270684This is why I hope they expand upon the character interactions in V, since there is actual gameplay to go along with the Royal house management.>inb4 go back to ck23d portraits make it impossible to go back even if vanilla ones look shitty.
>>2270677ye this is buggy as fuck holy shitim nocbing scotland to test if they actually fight as regulars or levies
Looks like that Kyrgyzstan/Uzbekistan/Tajikistan border irl. Fucking hell.
>>2270693I'll take 50 knights slaying 10000 peasants over 1 character slaying 10000 peasants solo.
Does having Military access with my Tributary allow me to walk my army through his vassals? The border gore is killing me but I need the tentacle of knowledge
>>2270693> add accolade and space marine flavor DLCyou welcome
The bugs are making me not want to play this game.
>>2270712So just chill until the next patch comes out.
>>2270714I want to finish my campaign to the end so I can say I beat the game from start to finish. Had it since game launch where it's incredibly hacked and bugged.
>>2270714Very optimistic.
>>2270717Not really. It took years for eu4, ck2, stellaris and other paradox games I haven't played, to get good.
Why does general automation filter for best total stats and not best military stats?
>>2270720CK2 and EU4 were good at launch.Although EU4 was quite a different game, more like late EU3 with a new trade system and mana, and you could only play Christian, feudal rulers in CK.
>>2270728>CK2 and EU4 were good at launchLol no they absolutely were not.
>>2270720>the next patch will fix it>it took yearsVery schizophrenic.
>>2270731I didn't say the next patch will fix it.I just said take a break until the next patch.
>>2270727are you aware that all stats are military stats?
>>2270733what
>>2270734All 3 stats are important to generals/admirals.
>>2270734each stat has a different effect on army/navy performance
>>2270729Did you actually play them when they came out? No on was talking about EU4 was incomplete, they disagreed with mana and lota of people continued to play EU3 because it had big mods eu4 couldnt match for depth for a few years The idea that these games were incomplete at launch was retroactively applied to them because they were the start of Paradox's DLC model, the DLC changed them radically, and later releases like HoI4 were released in a broken state.
>>2270734All abilities give pretty powerful bonuses. Of course, discipline is very very very nice. It's not like the rest suck.
>>2270709It is funnier that they don't. Black people realistically are still from all these far flung groups but just don't know it. It causes many issues like bad genetic pairings, body standards that are simply unattainable for some, differing health conditions, etc. But there is hardly a way of truly knowing due to how many groups there are and how little is known about the continent due to most history being oral.
>>2270737>Did you actually play them when they came out?Yes.>No on was talking about EU4 was incompleteYes they absolutely were.
should i turn my state bank into a vassal
>>2270738Is possible frottage how many cocks can be pressed together at once?
>>2270744This is how it all began...
>>2270745have you noticed this blue bar in armies?
>>2270749The penismeter?
>>2270751Yes, it measures how much girth you can thrust. It all goes into additional length after you've used up all the girth.
>>2270752Getting really tired of Johan's penis obsession, but I guess he's Swedish so it can't be helped.
what a fat ugly piece of shit
its about 100x faster and cheaper to build a spy network and steal maps than it is to send explorers out
Um, excuse me?
>>2270763He's going through his rebel phase right now.
it formedlapsegate was an hoax
When the fuck do I get the ability to have parliament remove estate privileges? There is no way taking a -180 stab hit is what I'm supposed to be doing.
>>2270773target one estate, spend time reducing its % power so the stab cost is much less
>>2270776How the fuck do you reduce their power other than by revoking the privileges
>>2270777set laws and pick proper parliament actions and such
>>2270770
>>2270755That is still a pretty huge range to be fair
>>2270786I'll give it gold, kind stranger
>>2270609Don't play games you don't enjoy, anon. If I didn't like EU5 I would not play it.
>>2269454Galactic Civilizations 2 had that.>>2269536It's not that there are no women, it's that it shows up as empty if you have no diplomats available. Took me 60 hours to realize that.
>>2270793NTA but to be fair, in my hussite bohemia game it shows up as empty cause no one wants to marry hussites.
>>2270786I did give it a chortle back when I reddit two days ago
>>2268958Not anon but I want to report >>2270681 but I can't find any option on the menu for bug reporting, where do I do it?
>>2270167They all had parts of their realm in the HRE.
>>2270811Sweden had no holdings in hre. They intervened because the danes and prot germans were getting btfo by Ferdinand and Wallenstein
Game's in a worse place now than its release. Can't play against infinite levy spam.
>>2270815why do Swedish kings just die in battle?
>>2270823Because they actually are in battle.
>>2270823>>2270824This.Kind of hard to die in battle if you're not in the battle...
>>2270824>>2270827I was asking on a deeper level. What possesses a Swedish king to do battle?
>>2270773According to the game files, each of the "remove X estate's building" has a chance of 10... but then again so do almost all other agendas, so I'm not sure there's a way to increase the odds of it occurring. You can however just chain complete agendas for different estates and it may appear during that round of parliament. Obviously it also helps to have more estates in parliament to increase the odds it comes up.
>>2270829so they could kill dumb faggots like you for asking idotic questions
>>2270835Oh, you said privileges not buildings. Whoops. Well the agenda for adding privileges uses the form of "pa_add_privilege" in the files, and searching for "pa_remove_privilege" in the files yields no results, so I'm not sure it exists.
>>2270839>I'm the king>I'll fucking charge into battleJust taking this for granted seems like what an idiot does. You just assume you have to have an answer if I ask a question. Why do you just assume I expect you to have all the answers?
>>2270806I figured it out and got the bug reportedit seems to have been reported already but my issue seemed like it might have been very slightly different so I made a new bug report anyway
>steam jester award
>>2270829A lot of them literally did for the sake of "glory", not even memeing. And after a while it became sort of tradition, as if the former king was a warrior one, why don't not? So the king at that moment wanted to be a warrior king to not be overshadowed by his ancestors.
>>2270842Authority is derived from violence. As the migration period ended, tribes settled and their former tribal leaders, who were overwhelmingly (or solely depending on the culture) military leaders changed into feudal lords. EU5 is set in the period where feudal obligations to provide military service and lead armies were waning in favor of centralization of power to the state. But that was a very gradual process and generally it hung around a lot longer attached to the sovereign than it did the nobility. Thus, when Gustavus Augustus intervened, he commanded his troops personally. Scandinavian leaders seemed to hold on to this ideal longer than others, probably as a cultural peculiarity related to late Christianization.
>>2270845The amount of nerfs they dumped on Byz on game start is kind of funny desu>start game>disaster coming in>another disaster coming in>6 countries set you as their rival>you cant rival any of them back because you're an empire, your only plausible rival is Trebizond (also you only heir)>there's Turks in Anatolia! Here's your -20 stab hit you Greek sissy>you'll go bankrupt in 3 months because your estates have a no taxes privilege so enjoy minting faggot>lol inflation is going up>ruler dies 23 microseconds after unpausingThanks JohanIt's still too easy
>>2270846That sounds likely. These guys weren't all completely stupid. Thinking about their legacy seems like something on their mind.
>created my own mod to make a new formable country>it actually fucking workedSay what you want about Paradox, but their games are leagues easier to make bullshit little changes like that compared to other devs. If this was Mount and Blade my computer would have exploded for making a mistake, while in Paradox game you can usually still load the game but whatever change you tried to make won't display correctly.
Any Japanese history buffs know where the historical Oda clan's capital is during Sengoku?When that shit triggers i need to move my capital to the proper place.
>>2270854The Oda were originally from Echizen province but moved to Owari province with their liege, the Shiba clan. All of the parts of history the Oda were relevant they were based out of Aichi in Owari province, which eventually became the city of Nagoya.
>>2270857Ah ha! Thanks anon!
>>2270857Also weirdly, Oda is not a vassal at the start of eu5.
>>2270845thankully he (for some reason) always becomes a pretender on succession and your daugher becomes your heir
>>2270848>you'll go bankrupt in 3 months because your estates have a no taxes privilege so enjoy minting faggotNot if you sell land like Philadelphia
I'm getting this error message a lot when trying to build clan buildings.Who are saigoku shinto peasants and why are they preventing me from building shit where i want?
>>2270859Of course, anon.>>2270860Yeah, it's kind of accurate given they were just retainers of Shiba at the time, but I'm not sure if they're actually a dynasty at game start under Shiba or not. I've definitely seen them appear during a Japan playthrough, but I'm not sure if there's an event or they're just one of the randomly named clans that can pop up after Sengoku starts.
>>2270693Yeah no, CK3 men at arms are 1000x more broken than EU5 retinues, CK3 lets you do absolute bullshit like having a dozen knights kill 30 thousand soldiers
>>2270864There's a mechanic where BBCs can't build things in provinces where their primary culture already exists, hence why banks have unique cultures. I don't know if that's intended here or a bug but it's probably what's going on
>>2270869Oh that would explain why I can only seem to build in northern honshu and kyushu.
>>2270869Interesting, I didn't know that. Good thing to note because I'm trying to do some modding with building based monarchies in the HRE.
>>2270869>BBCs
>>2270869Not a bug, it's intentional. It happens for every country. Tooltip straight up tells you you can't build foreign buildings in a place that already has your culture. I have no idea why they did this.
Taking over a bunch of other clan's buildings, i seem to getting rich.I thought I'd make some boats but that seems to have gone badly.They are dying out on the water and for some reason I cannot bring them into port because I lack access.
>>2270884Ashikaga actually owns the land, you need fleet basing rights from them. Also, in my last Hansa game I couldn't make my navy patrol, presumably because they need to be in an owned port not just one you have access to. You can still manually increase maritime advantage by moving them around sea tiles though.
>>2270885So why even have a clan shipyards building?
>>2270886Otherwise you couldn't build ships at all, and I assume (dunno haven't ever played a clan) it gives you some other bonuses like trade advantage.
>>2270889Also, I'm pretty sure the inability to patrol with navies is a bug.
>>2270889It gives maritime presence and sailors and ship build capacity.
So I know that you can start the game as not the shogun by choosing a Daimyo clan from the list of countries but is there any way to choose them from the map? or at least get the names from the map to then search in the list?also how does it work exactly once I am in, it's a very different setup to EU4 it seems
What's the deal with mercs? They seem prohibitively expensive compared to levies and regulars. Do they have space marine stats to compensate?
>>2270892Nevermind found it, building based countries map mode
>>2270893Nah these are the preset/condotierri mercs which are just shit. You want to click "hire mercenary leader", which is much more affordable.
>>2270892It took me a little bit, but you need to war with other clans and "expand influence" to take over their buildings.
>>2270893I wonder how many people saw that screen and thought "wow mercs cost 3k ducats? forget it!" and didn't realize that was the price to bribe another country's mercenaries and steal their troops mid warAnyway you hire mercs with the "hire mercenary leader" button. They're basically regulars that get delivered on demand. You can decide their composition and you mostly pay up front so it's not actually that expensive
>>2270892On the country select screen change your map mode to building based countries, I think it's under the government tab. >also how does it work exactly once I am inLook at Oda-anon's screenshots. Basically you just raid other clans. It's kind of boring but you can became ridiculously powerful before the Sengoku situation starts. If you min-max you can basically take over most of Japan once it fires. I wouldn't recommend them unless you've played for a while.>>2270893Just really poorly balanced. They behave just like regulars except they don't reinforce either and you have to hire more once they're useless from casualties.
>>2270898well, you have to admit, that labeling makes nothing clear or obvious
>>2270898>didn't realize that was the price to bribe another country's mercenaries and steal their troops mid warI've already dumped 170 hours into EU5 and I didn't realize that's what that was. I just assume they were pre-made groups that could only be hired all at once or something. Battling the game's UI is most of the difficulty.
don't get why this game doesn't have a AI chatbot to help you with finding shit or explaining shit
>>2270895However it seems you can't bring up the building based countries map mode when selecting rivals so if you want to rival by map you need to use the list, or maybe I can choose from the map and then it's in diplomacy somewhere, if that option exists I don't see it though, so if you're basing rivalry off the map you will need to note down the name and then go to the list
>>2270902You can make your own regulars available for hire as merc as they show up there as well, AI does it a lot. They're always prohibitively expensive so no one hires them.
>>2270898>I wonder how many people saw that screen and thought "wow mercs cost 3k ducats? forget it!" and didn't realize that was the price to bribe another country's mercenaries and steal their troops mid warI was one of them up until reading this post
>>2270903Hints panel, top right
I don't know why this game doesn't have an AI to procedural generate a mission tree for you depending on your actions
>>2270893No they're ass. Just straight up not worth.
I don't get why this game doesn't have a AI that actually fucking does something
>>2270904Or hover over one of their armies, wait for the nested tooltip to lock, then click on their flag to bring up diplomacy, or right click to bring up the quick interaction panel.
Uh oh, looks like I won't be able to get a standing army anytime soon. I refuse to downgrade any province into a rural settlement, the town/city only meme run has to live on but I'm going to be fucking bodied the next time Bohemia declares war.
>>2270914Anon, how do you not have a single armory?
fuck my nigger roman life
Can you actually kill unwanted heirs by putting them on boats? Asking for a friend.
>>2270915I forgot to grab the tech (just went full eco during the renaissance, my levies bulldozed all other Italians states) and it's my first time playing a republic and I retardedly assumed that because it didn't show up in the building list maybe republics didn't have access to them or something
>>2270920I don't think I've actually ever built a training field. Can you see what their monthly ducat maintenance is without building one? In every game I've played armories were the single largest building maintenance expense, so if I overlooked training fields as a cheap alternative I'll feel pretty dumb.

>>2270773>When the fuck do I get the ability to have parliament remove estate privileges?Never>there is no way taking a -180 stab hit is what I'm supposed to be doing.You aren't. The cost to revoke is 400 base with modifiers based on their current power and other things. To make revoking cheaper lower that estates power, raise your crown power, raise the power of other estates, stack revoke modifiers like communal or the parliament effect and stack laws against the estate. You unlock more and more powerful tools as you go so if you can't do it now do it later. You can always just stack 90 stab and then revoke it too.
is anything worse than sending a boatload of balts or whatever to a fresh colony and then you scroll over to that same colony and see it's 100.00% primary culture pops ... ?i've been playing 100 years past the trauma of the above and many such disappointments. still wondering what lies in the deep fog beyond the appalachians

>>2271006Player involvement is obviously not relevant to what the AI does.
>>2270846>>2270850The irony is that Swedish royal dynasties were usually totally unrelated to each other, being elected from literally whos at some times. So it's not like the kings were honoring their ancestors, because they had nothing to do with them.
>>2271000I'm conquering the HRE and will dissolve it, so that's irrelevant.>yes this is a thing like if catholicism needed more nerfsI think the other ones should be buffed, like I said, I have a lot of researched permanent modifiers because of catholicism, but as a protestant I have some 3 mid aspects.Maybe a higher number of aspects.>>2271004The reformation still happens, mine's at 35% and decreasing.But it does seems a lot slower.I don't have the jesuits, have some heretic tolerance and they seem to just chill on my country.

>>2270978you need more vassals
>>2271003Funny, considering that historically the golden horde collapsed after Timur invaded them.Devs should consider adding "historical friends" and "historical enemies" relation modifiers back.
there should be pretender rebellions in this game if you have multiple sons when your leader dies as a monarchy.you'd be able to stop them with a law later on that codifies inheritance laws.
I hope they don't nerf fort Assaults for a while. Even with how easy they are, wars are so slow and grindy.
I like the game... It has the foundations to be the greatest grand strategy game.I just hope they don't cave to EU4fags
oh fuck off you stupid nigger
>>2271023the only thing I wouldn't mind is the AI getting an internal mission tree, if you turn on a gamerule.So they just do historical stuff.
>>2270898this game is just a constant battle against the ui.
>>2270981I am using mods yes. I'll try what you suggested.
>>2271037Kyiv was huge in my game too.
>>2271029idk about mission trees but there should definitely be actions its more weighted towards. Like if you take a chunk out of France then France should want to take that land back from you more than it wants to fight Mali.
>>2271040france is more interested in being integrated by mali than fighting them.

How would (you) fix dynastic management? Hard mode: no "just automate it lol"
>>2271076what is there to manage?
>>2271062That's a game balance thing, they found that if they start with ships they killed Castille and Portugal in every game>>2271076Make it so balanced education is overall best education and you aren't prompted to change the education but if you so wish to micromanage your heirs you can pick one of the specialized or expensive ones.
>>2271076You only manage the close ruling family. Everyone else marries on their own, and new nobles are spawned as necessary.
It makes sense that the clergy increases research in the first ages but later on embracing the ideals of enlightment and shit actually slows down technological progress since it pisses off the clergy.
>>2271076Play teutons and you don't have to worry about this
>>2271096the tech gainz from having literate population way outweighs having happy clergy
>deus vult doesn't automatically allow me to exterminate turkroaches as the eastern roman empire, I need to justify a CBThis is such bullshit. Needing tech to attack them is already stupid, but this is extra retarded.
Having too many family members should rebound and give you penalties. There's a reason cadet houses were considered a necessary evil and often treated with suspicion. As long as the right to rule is tied to bloodline, the more people you have, the more diluted your claim to the throne and the greater potential for competing claims and civil wars.
>>2271102Horrible idea. Legit 0/10, you should apply for a position as a gamer designer at Paradox.

I don't think the AI builds up spy networks very often and I don't think they often get the right techs.
Boy I would love to force Egypt to release Jalayirids from their tributary status, it'd weaken them wellIf it didn't cost 1146 (one thousand one hundred forty and six) warscore

>>2270566does excess food increase pop growth or something?
>>2271117transfer occupation to them
>>2271117that would destroy le hecking sandbox
>>2271120yes having a large food store in a province is one of the only way to reliably increase pop growth.
>>2271117click the button next to "Occupied by (You)" and transfer the occupation (right click for an entire province) to whoever you want to give it to
>>2271121what if the land hasn't been occupied? Aragon wants southern France but spent the war basically being a distraction and since it's a defense war it's about to auto white peace out.

are trade companies good or dog shit
>Greenland knows about the North American coastline>can't steal maps of the North American coastline from them though>also can't explore the North American coastline from Greenland even if you have the naval rangewhat the hell. does the game cuck you out of early exploration of NA if you're not Greenland? all I wanted was to play as USA pre 1400. does the Azores route work better?
>>2271150you should be able to sell the provinces for 0 gold when you're not at war. with console you could tag switch to aragon, conquer [provinceid], then switch back without unpausing.

Free Trade vs MercantilismI dont understand which one i want
>>2271056>>2271064Shes already lording iver an island She hasnt built any slavecenters?
>>2271175Mercentalism since you will be taking over entire markets
How can I get rid of an embargo? I even had an event where I got explicit acces to their market, so I thought that was an event where they revoke it. But now I have just both, embargo and access to the market, which still results in me not being able to trade there
>>2271175if you're trading in lots of other markets then free trade lets you get better deals from having better advantage and more income from higher trade efficiencyif you are a strong economy with your own markets and don't trade much abroad then mercantilism is better.so for example GB would probably want free trade because they tend to have a huge global trade network with tons of markets owned by their colonies rather than themselves whereas someone like Bohemia would want mercantilism because they just have one or two hugely valuable markets
When do you want to make a colonial subject vs just holding the land yourself?Like is it worth turning these shithole islands into a subject or should I just hold it myself
do you guys use the Kiev mod or do you accept the cringe in order to be able to get achievements?

>>2271202I'm not downloading a mod just to change the name of one worthless province, just because its relevant in modern news
>>2271182Kyiv being the default spelling is in the same vein as Byzantine Empire being the default term. You just have to accept that it's a western game made for western sensitivities. How well they tend to do is another matter. Realistically they should be a near-failed state that a skilled player would struggle to save. Instead the game seems to suggest that Muscovy's ultimate supremacy was a just a fluke, and it just as well might have been Kijow that resurged as the prime east Slavic power.
>>2271208>Muscovy's ultimate supremacy was a just a flukeit was though
>>2271202If russia isn't globalist for mass importing churkas then exactly what is globalism?
>>2271207it fixes all of the ukrainian provinces, not just Kiev>>2271208English is the only language I know of that is getting altered to push an ageda, and well it's the international language so no wonder. From what I know most Russians/Ukrainians dont care about the english spelling since they speak Russian. I'm neither Russian, Ukrainian nor from the Anglosphere but since I use English a lot I care about this change.

Why not convert to the +10% literacy orthodox heresy as yizzantium?
>>2271208>a western game made for western sensitivitiesBut none of us have these sensitivities. This is the whole point with this woke shit. They censor and sanitize so much for "sensitivities" that we don't have. Western society has only grown more libertine in what its willing to tolerate. So it makes it even stranger that media is forced to be babyfied or changed for fake moral reasons. It doesn't make sense and is why so many companies are finally pulling away from it. I'd even say EU5 is a post-woke game through and through. This particular change was forced on them last second by a retarded content creator. Trying to make some grand history for what was ultimately just a buffer state that Russia invented and now schizophrenically fights. It is like if they put some "Finnish Uprising" at game start and Finland formed and took over Scandinavia every game.
I'm playing hansa and was excited for colonies because I make so much money it's not funny.But now I just had the realization... can I even colonize as a building based nation?
>>2271208>Instead the game seems to suggesthave you ever suggested at any point that the game is just very bad at modelling likely historical outcomes or do you prefer finding something to feel mad and spam the thread?
>>2271223I imagine not since you need to send pops from a location
So I've mostly been using parliament to increase my vassal blob, and I'm now realizing I probably should have been mixing in some law changes on parliament reset. What is your guys first couple go-to law changes? I'm leaning towards civil law and/or central council as my first changes
>>2271227Man that's lame..
>>2271228Favor The Ruler is more or less priority one
>>2271223building based countries had a lot of content cut before launch, avoid till further patching
>>2271228distribution of power: favor the rulerat least until I get more sources of crown power.
>>2271232This, I don't know if they said it, but this has to be a case like holy orders. East Asia in general is another place they very likely cut things for later. You also can't forget the being able to colonize other countries thing.
>>2271000Empire rank really nerfs your expansion capabilities, and explodes your cost of court though. So unless you really need that +1 cabinet seat, there isn't much benefit to it.
>>2271239It also gives you a shitload of GP score which helps you get hegemonies
>>2271228Anything that boosts crown power, pushes for centralization or innovative.

Is there a "mass upgrade" button somewhere? So I can upgrade all my cloth workshops to cloth manufactories for example without building any more?
>>2271250I think if you mass build cloth manufactories it'll upgrade existing workshops as well.
>>2271243Yeah, but again each hegemony gives you +20% antagonism received and +1% expected cost of court.
>>2271250>Is there a "mass upgrade" button somewhere? Nope
>>22712521% expected cost of court isn't that bad

>>2271235>>2271231Even if I'm England? I thought if I dropped English Parliament I wouldn't be getting these parliament votes popping up every few years giving me opportunities to make changes.Not to mention I kind of wanted to maintain the unique flavor, but if it doesn't really do anything positive then I guess it doesn't matter. Wish I got rid of it 50 years ago if that was the case.
no idea how the stupid subject loyalty shit works. was fine for a while but now im randomly getting -60 modifiers for "strength of vassals vs overlord" that keeps appearing and disappearing. no idea if that means im too strong compared to them, or if they're getting stronger than me. dont know why it keeps coming and going either, not like strength fluctuates every few months
Loyalty is so stupidFrench vassals have more soldiers and it's just a -5 loyalty, just the king diplo is enough to negate it
>>2271279Missions are overhated because of how retardedly overboard EU4 and HOI4 went with them. Absolutely noone hated decisions or missions in EU3 because they were a relatively minor part of the game that gave some small bonuses rather than being completely railroaded down a mission tree for massive gamechanging rewards.
>>2271148no
>>2271279>>just add decisions!>literally the same as missionsnot the same at all you retard
>>2271286>decisions>fulfilling the requirements allows you to click the decision and get something out of it>missions>fulfilling the requirements allows you to click the mission and get something out of itgo back
>>2271284>rather than being completely railroaded down a mission tree for massive gamechanging rewards.This is already in the game in the events, the only difference being that you can't see them and you are likely to miss them which forces a restart
>>2271281If you have a shitty economy it can vary wildly when they get good trades
off to a good start as Wallachia. Bulgaria's such a chump, haven't even taken any of his forts.probably got scared by Serbia kamikaze charging into him twice.
>>2271252I manually lowered the cost of court for the hegemonies and great power status down to 1/4 of the original. This incessant punishment for things largely outside of your power is getting on my nerves. Besides, i think this is the reason why AI France crashes and burns in the middle of the game, all hegemonies + rank 1 GP would eat away your whole budget.

>hold a single shithole province in africa>constantly starving and spamming me with notifications>lost half of its population in the last few years and most of its buildings are closed>sell it to france for 65000 ducatskek
>>2271288Why are you pretending to be retarded? Everyone will think you're an actual retard.
>>2271288>massive gamechanging rewards.I don't think it's that far, EU5s invisible missions are the equivalent of the EU4 2018 mission trees that mostly just gave some personal claims, unlike what they later became (every European nation gets free PUs and admin efficiency)EU5 nation tiers are thankfully going to stop the worst effects of nation swapping to stack rewards because of nation tiers (I know only tryhard WCers do that but still)
>>2271260Mixed results. I've spent some time breeding prodigies as Ottos, one of them resulted in multiple prodigy children, but there's still plenty of dummies.
>>2271284What the reddit troll doesn't understand is that the people clamoring for missions are asking for mission TREES, and not an abstract concept of "everything is le mission"

>>2271306>leagacy of the Kyivian Rus
I was hoping for this to be a bigger upgrade
>>2271324>what the fuck is that event art lmaoIt's the same art most of the Turk events use for some reason, this is the "should Constantinople be our capital" art for example
>>2271330It's actually a downgrade since it costs twice as much manpower.
>>2271302>N-nononono bros... I'm not supposed to have to weigh decisions like this>The game should give me everything for free!
Will going for a republican Prussia to Germany game bar me from any content or should I go ahead? I know EU4 had both a 'Stratocratic monarchy' and 'stratocratic republic' gov reform.
>>2271322Yeah then when you get actual manpower I just do 8:2 melee ranged with 1:1 inf to cav. When I hit pike squares I do 1:1 or 2:1 for melee ranged with the same 1:1 inf to cav. No idea if that's optimal but it was 'meta' in history so I go with it asuming that is what the era would be balanced around. Can't say for later in the game since I usually stop just at or before 1600. This is ideal btw you can substitute as needed like say light cav instead of heavy if poor. Cannons may or may not be useful in battles with the Falconet but I have no idea and just use them for siege stacks.
>>2271182I use a bunch of mods, so no reason to not use that one.
Guys do not build galleys and light ships, it's a trap. They somehow melt and get stackwiped if they meet heavy ships of whatever type.Just lost 60 4th era galeasses to 30 tunisian era 3 warships
>>2271342why would you build anything else than warships?
>>2271342ship battles are bugged anyway
>>2271324It comes with dlc you must understand. Johan is tired now.
>>2271259Alright it doesn't work but I just annexed Lübeck through console (which belonged to you anyway). Now I can do colonies it seems. Sucks that I have to cheat but it's not that big of a deal if I only do this imo

How do I manage to get the throne of France as England? They keep declaring on me so I can't use the CB even when I win if I take enough of France it just ends the situation.

EU5sisters, did we really just pay $70 to be beta testers?This sucks.
>>2271061Since fertility in EU5 is highest at 16 y/o and scales downwards from there, we can assume that a 14 y/o in the EU5 world would be even more fertile.In other words, that shota's youthful sperm is more than virile enough to counteract the molding of her ovaries at 35. He is going to end up fathering half a dozen new kids for the Von Eppstein dynasty.
>>2271402>paraslop gameyou knew what you were getting into and so did i
>>2271376Yeah I couldn't get this figured out either, and they have so many levies that they always identify themselves as much stronger than I am and so declare war on cooldown basically. I made it to around 1430 or so, having won like 20 wars, getting paid hundreds of ducats each time and eventually I wanted to move on so I sold all my French territory (for hundreds more) to end the event. I even held Paris at the end but it was untenable.
>November is endingWhat the fuck. It feels like Nov 5 was yesterday.
>>2271407I think the early wars should be about cutting their vassals off/making them yours instead rather than outright taking territory. I made the mistake of trying to take land instead and pretty sure it's fucked me over.
>>2271408>Semen Retention month is already over
>>2271403Is there a mod to change age minimums for certain actions to more historical values? My friend wants to know.

>>2271430Landsknechten being so strong is actually crazy but I can't complain as a GERMANIA enjoyer.

>>2271443You should have made them into a colonial nation already.When it gives you the option to create a colonial nation, play as them or keep it, if you choose to create a colonial nation it will give the province a town and a bunch of buildings. Then each colony charter you complete in the area will also have the option to feed the territory to your colony which also gives the province a town and a bunch of buildings.There is no reason to ever hold this land yourself because you have no control there.As for whether to make one or multiple colonies I'd make just one for this amount of land.
Is Finland in the game or nah
>free nation>they don't become my vassal>they hate me>they ally with my enemyamazing system
>>2271463They go extinct after Sweden colonizes them.
>>2271462>There is no reason to ever hold this land yourself because you have no control there.>he didn't go harbour administration as a colonial power
>>2271462You have 20% control by default which is already miles better than whatever your garbage colonial nation will provide you with
>>2269242this is my castille because i cant be arsed with values or privilege autism
>>2271462>because you have no control there.haha yeah
>>2271473it doesn't matter, just build RGO's and funnel them to the homeland.
>try to trade maxxx>make less money than when I wasn't trade maxxxing on top of scaling costs raping my eventsebin
>>2271443Depends what you want to do. I think it's not worth to blob into colonies too much, it's far stronger if you just capture a reasonable area and then develop it heavily since you need to import people to work all the farms there otherwise it makes jack shit. Caribbean is probably best kept as one colony, it's too big for one capital (for AI anyways) to manage properly and it needs multiple markets anyways but if you split it up the second one inevitably ends up really weak of you need to do really cringe borders for it.You really should have given it to the colonial nations from the start though, the first one is especially important since it gives you a market but each one also gives a free town and some bonus buildings + more markets if the current access is low.The more colonies you make the stronger the combined total is but weaker they are individually. If you hold land directly you get all the trade but in exchange you get all the micro management and without control you need to constantly shovel in money to keep the area growing. Colonial nations make more total money and take some of their share to develop personally I would take that option every time just to avoid the micro. You can probably be stronger with direct control but only if you hellishly micro it.
>>2271447See, you're seething about missions, but are completely fine about triggered events that do the exact same thing.
holy fuck stop talking about missions please.
>>2271468>he didn't go harbour administration as a colonial powerThat doesn't give you control. It decreases the proximity cost from going from land to sea. So if you have no proximity (eg in your colonies) in a location its not going to do anything for you.>>2271470Considering the amount of free shit colonies get I don't agree. You literally get thousands of gold worth of free towns and buildings from giving land to colonies and they grow faster and employ slaves which you can't do. They also give you their merchants so you can trade all their shit way easier. Majority of the money from colonies comes from trading not taxing the 5000 pop provinces. They also colonise on their own which saves you on charters.
>stop talking about missions! embrace the boring dogshit turd! just look at your screen without doing anything for the majority of the campaign!no, jew. Eu5 is mid as it is now

>>2271524they look less comfy.
>attacks you outnumbered 4:1 on your mountain fort>wins with over 2:1 casualty ratiocav is so fucking retarded
>>2271524Not really. The only downside to cities over towns is that you get even less food production.
>>2271525Wouldn't they get conditional access if you asked for the blocking guy's access? or does conditional access exist in Eu5
>>2271524all it does is increase the food production malus from 20% to 33%its meaningless, always upgrade your towns if you can afford it
EU5 -> Vic2 converter when?
>>2271509Euros should get a penalty to allying Muslims in North Africa, Anatolia, and Europe. A special exception could be made to let the French ally the Ottomans. Like some French diplomatic pass for those seeking to destroy Europe.

>>2271545eternal chud supremacy
>>2271540sorry chud, trans sisters will only make you a eu5 to vic3 converter
>>2271549At the very least, forming a country should give you some sort of permanent CB to take all of the territory associated with the formable.
>>2271553unfortunately most formables need you to already own the entire region to form said country, for example the aztecs and russia
>>2271545This but no vassals as well, direct rule only. Paradox is powerless to stop me from mappainting
>>2271532>urbanizing from rural fucks your pop growthTowns shouldn't have the food malus and keep at least half the pop growth and rgo size.
>>2271554The Germany one is ridiculous, you basically have to own the entire Germany region to be able to form it
>>2271556Having 1 town or city per province is good because you build granaries which affect all locations in the province. So the rural locations next to the town will have even better pop growth which pretty much compensates for the lower pop growth from towns.

Atm, the bigger problems are the historical situations not really working and institutions like the HRE/unions not really doing anything.

have the fixed PUs breaking cabinet yet
>>2271524No, cities are just a straight up upgrade, sans the food production, integration and extra nobles all of which should be irrelevant. The pop requirement is pretty steep if you are actually urbanizing from scratch but if you have towns ready to be made into cities start from those instead of making new towns to preserve the RGO and pop growth.

someone else please try this, i dunno if my save is fucked or 1.08 is just brokenhave your levies raised and trigger a big civil warwhen their home flips to the revolter tag, your levy turns into a regular regiment instead. i got 20k warbow regulars as england this way. i only noticed after the war because almost none of my levies disbanded when i told them to. they seem to keep some of their levy stats though so fight more like half-regulars. on the flipside they are 1000man regiments who only need 100 transport capacity.

>>2271625Manpower is abstract and not directly linked to population excepting in the specific case where they die in combat.Means no, manpower maintenance isn't killing 1000 dudes every month.

I'm fucking done with this game until there's a year of patches.Fucking Johan telegraphing his priorities.Should you fix what's legitimately broken? Nope you should work on a weekend to stop the player from having fun and send more and more broken fucking balance tweaks because your game is already broken and you're touching more and more variables and more and more moving parts and you're breaking it worse and worse because that's how fucking software development works.I don't fucking care about the blueprint of the house getting refined when what's on the lot is a pile of fucking rubble.

>>2271727It's not about loyalty, they're scripted to rebel no matter what on cooldown. The only way you can save yourself the bother is to stay at war until the age is done.
>>2271741>>2271742noooo the heckin railroadineroni
>>2271735Look at what peace they would expect and then save and reload. Now suddenly they won't accept anymore. Yeah it's bugged
>>2271746>expect*acceptAlso while we're at it. The peace suggestion from the AI is retarded as well. At best they suggest taking the province that was the war goal and reparations
>>2271746i always save before a peacedeal for this reason
>>2271745My point is even as a OPM there is never a point where you are so broke/irrelevant that you wouldn't go for a regular army ASAP because of how big the return on investment is compared to staying with levies. The cost investment of putting together a professional standing army in the early 1400's is negligible compared to the value gain
>>2271745>100 upkeepexaggerated, especially since you can turn army maintenance down
true to life.
>enter age of absolutism >court and country and struggle for royal power can fire both at once because crown power is above 25% but below 50%might as well just fucking kill me too at this point
>>2271739Is there really no option for this? How are you supposed to return cores to HRE princes as the emperor?
>>2271764You aren't :)https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3613286802
>>2271761Swedish game.
>>2271764Wait for the $50 "HRE Reborn" DLC, coming in 2030 :^)
>>2271768I get it, you've only played great powers.
>Ever wondered which of your units was a light or heavy unit?>Which was the archer and which the footmen?>Wonder no more as it's now fixed! Paradox actually has all the illustrations for the different units but somehow didn't use them for the european countries.LMAO
>>2271776>didn't use them for European countriesjesus christ how many jeets did they have coding this game lol?
>trying to raise the population in my capital>notice its population keeps suddenly jumping down by 20k every so oftenare my bastard colonies stealing my pops en mass somehow?
>>2271779saar please understand we are necessary human talent for tech race against china
>>2271766Thanks for link I guess. Bit stupid this isn't in the base game, but cool that it's so easy to mod in.
Is this worth it or should I just keep the land myself?
>>2271788keep it. knights will get rolled anyway
>>2271788>Is this worth itProbably not but you should still do it because it's based.
>historical event that changes the province RGO from iron to iron. That will be 25 dollars + tax + tip
>>2271795>scaling tip of 9000%
>>2271788if you're looking to remove arab+kebab from the land then its better to have an ally that you feed some of your conquests to. otherwise aggression will roll you.
>province is literally all wheatdo just make all of it into cities and encourage migration there forever?
>>2271695>>2271701>>2271715>>2271718>>2271720the most annoying part is that paved roads are locked behind the printing press for some reasonfucking russians ruin everything
>>2271608The real answer is 200
>>2271802>I can cuck them out of paved roads because they dont have the printing pressKEK, don't worry, the borders are open western dogs, you can come to the glorious Muscovian paradise
>>2271802imagine being less educated than russia lmao
>columbian exchange you're telling me I can just transplant Chili to Siberia?
>>2271812There are some climate restrictions but yes. Enjoy becoming a chili baron because none of the AI will do it.
>burghers had their petty rebellion>starting mass building roads immediately afterfucking finally, it seems like their will to build does indeed depend on the mood
>Ottomans only permitted printing press to shit out scriptureBut at least they got paved roads for it.
>>2271817For some reason I can only do it with Chili.

>>2271824It's also the only good one except for Cocoa.
how the fuck do I get rid of these pirates
>>2271829put boat there
>>2271836I have had boats patrolling for like a century and this shit never goes away
>>2271837They're slowly losing power then.
>>2271837Probably not in all of those places.
>>2271837Click a sea tile and check their power. You need to lower them below 5%
>>2271828Tobacco is also great
honeymoonbros... is it over? im itching to boot civ6......

>>2271848probably not integrated?
>>2271853>prob not integratedlel, good joke that you would seriously think that.
>>2271752Doubly exaggerated, because they improve control and keep rebels down during peace time.
>>2271839>>2271840>>2271842why can't the maritime presence or privateer map mode actually show me this shit
Europe will eat Polish Chili and it will like it. There is no alternative.
>>2271849
Why is there no malus to proximity when it goes through foreign land?¿?¿? If my rival tax collectors cross my borders they're not coming home
>>2271739What does returning core province mean?
>>2271861Are you in the HRE?
>>2271863Who's going to pay if they aren't travelling with a big armed group? And if they don't have a sign they're just bandits
>>2271866Yes actually, is that just a hre thing?
>>2271837Are you using light ships? Heave ships and galleys are useless for hunting pirates
Well?
>>2271732Maybe you gr**k retards shouldn't massacre the latins and be a buncha heretics
>>2271829You don’t. Just hide the notification and forget about it.
>>2271202stop crying so much holy shit.

Patch tomorrow? Johan? Hello?
>>2271892The whole point of my french run is to JAP my house with docile and tight maidens from accross the seas. I wonder if I can retain the blonde hair too.
>>2271892Average russian experience
>>2271557the clue is in the name
>>2271865Handing over provinces to countries not taking part at the war. I shouldn't have to take everything by myself to kneecap my enemy.
>>2271891Get a better translator, or improve your real life literacy.
France update, the Mohammedan community still exists but they got BLEACHED by the french peasants and now are TRVE EVROPEANS because the game has no miscegenation mechanics.
>>2271891>niggas
>>2271899Do you really need to own every single bumfuck village though? Should be enough to control the major areas.
Is there anything more rage inducing?
>>2271912When it happens to a Crown issue too.
>>2271912>is there anything more rage inducing? getting naval invaded by a tiny stack because the army you set to guard the coast just sits there
Starting an anti Magyar crusade because they blob all over the Balkans and Italy and take random provinces all over the place.
Oddly sexy Denmark
>>2271900I don't get it, but then again I'd never give provinces to other countries in the first place
>>2271912It's funny when they want you to change a law to something that puts them into a worse position
>get declared on with parliament in session>use the get bigger levies button>but it doesn't take effect until the end of the month or something because when I raise the levies they're still the old size.
>>2271924>I don't get it How do you propose to fix this mess then?
Mega Kyiv ended up forming Ruthenia
>>2271931But then it can't trigger ziggers and zion donnies.
>>2271931fucking globalists.
Has anyone managed to click the turn into theocracy/republic buttons? How do the fuck do you get 95 plutocracy?
>>2271937>republicWhy would I become an inferior government?
>>2271912early they may actually ask for something that's good
so not only i cannot have colonial subjects on a continent next to me, i also cannot build plantations there? im in east africa and madagascar, the capital is cyprus which is asia according to the game.because europe having plantations in africa is just too silly i guess
>>2271931>that disgusting sweden tentacle reaching down from Pskov
>take a province after several months of siege >enemy instantly drives into the fort the second I leave it >they retake the fort instantly >as I continue sieging 1 fort the enemy army zoomed around its country and retook every single fort
>>2271941Do any of your provinces actually produce sugar?
>>2271941did you disable non european colonization
>>2271941madagascar just isnt oversees enough from the cyprus
>>2271941what does it say if you hover your mouse over an african province?
>>2271948the what button
>>2271945>>2271949this>>2271947
>>2271943You have to carpet siege, doing it one at a time is just an exercise in slow frustration.
>>2271941odd i was able to set up colonial nations in the caucasus as cilicia 2 weeks ago
>>2271912love how it lets you circumvent locked laws like military order or even the papacy
>>2271951when you capture a fort you only leave like 5 men behind to garrison it and it falls pretty much as soon as the enemy return. There's a button near the bottom that lets you top the garrison back up to full strength using men from the army. It should be on by default but it isn't.
now the real game can begin
>>2271946That rule applies only to AI nations
playing as castile, should i bother with the americas or leg it to east asia? im more interested in colonizing asia but i'd like the americas too, just to gimp other potential colonizers. but between pushing muslims out iberia, uniting iberia and potentially taking on france, i don't think i'll be able to manage to colonize the americas and asia. is the ai even smart enough to fully utilize their colonies? or colonize at all? in eu4 you'd rarely see the ai colonize asia at all despite it being far more lucrative. thanks for reading my blog.
>>2271931Fun fact: Kyiv can actually form Russia because it's in the Russian culture group, you just need to move your capital to the Russia region to see the decision appear
>>2271959I have learned to love fort assaults. 1000 casualties of regulars on average for a castle is worth it.
>>2271961the carribean and central america are probably the most valuable areas in the game to colonise. I would snag them if nothing else.
i heckin love how if rebels appear in your capital they destroy half of you buildings not to mention cancel all the trade you've set up
>>2271965just because i didn't use caps doesn't mean its esl. and "leg it" is an actual english phrase, for the record.
>>2271967and forces you to slowly move your capital back even after you annex the rebels
>WE WUZ ROMANS N SHEEIT INSHALLAH
>>2271969>caps>its retard
>>2271965you should "leg it" into your mothers cunt.
If rebels pop up in the capital there should be the chance they catch the royal family or a good part of them and kill them.
>>2271971>80.000 pops>85 taxbaseis it an OPM on a gold mine?
>>2271972so are you going to post something helpful, funny or otherwise engaging, or just be a prick for literally no reason?
>>2271961Why won't you be able to manage it? Colonies cost only a tiny amount of money and otherwise have no risks, you can have half of the Americas by the time you reach Asia. The AI is very slow to explore and not a threat, they usually get bogged down in Africa.
>>2271977No but it's 1750
>horses don't provide food
>>2271971Byzansissies, our response???

>open workshop >first thing I see
>>2272000huh?are people pretending stability events weren't a thing in EU4 and that they were way more devastating there?
The rgo system is stupidThis is not the grandest gsg of all times
>>2272005why
>>2272000mfw I conquer the Greek Empire so early that the gallipoli earthquake event kills my own pops and destroys my fort
>>2272003I got mildly inconvenienced in my attempt at blobbing my shithole nation, I will now download mods that give 100 control everywhere and remove all negative events from the game
>>2271971>serbian
Victoria 3's RGO system was better. There's no reason a province can only have 1 raw resource.
>>2272010how would it change the gameplay positively if locations could have multiple resources?
>>2272003newfags
>>2272010They already can through laborer buildings.
>>2272000stab hit from events is such a nothingburger in eu5
>>2272010agreed but the game does everything else wrong so I'll take the old style RGO's.
>>2272012I could still mine iron while farming chili in the arctic circle.
>>2272010>There's no reason a province can only have 1 raw resource.Does he know?
>>2272012You can better manage your pops needs and market demands for one. And for two, it's more realistic
>>2272010Goods supply is already way too high for almost everything, if locations had multiple RGOs then the price of everything everywhere would be rock bottom, no point in tradesame with food, imagine if every industrial RGO also had a wheat RGO in it, every province is now food positive forever and ever
>>2272017>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SOMETHING RANDOMLY HAPPENED THOUGH AN EVENT SAVE ME PARADOX AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>2272023So a simple rebalance of needs and production will be needed. And also>Food is too abundantNo shit? That's been the case globally since the invention of Agriculture. That's why historical famines are big, notable events.
>>2271928That's not a mess, those are perfectly fine medieval borders.
>places you colonise don't get immunity to diseases you are immune to since its on a location by location basis >black death 2 electric boogaloo just completely raped my USA colonies in 1750
>>2271928Naples deserves the Adriatic.
>>2272031>No shit? That's been the case globally since the invention of Agriculturenobody tell him.
>>2271928The only "issue" I see here is that the Byzantines are still alive
>>2272039>black death 2 electric boogaloo just completely raped my USA colonies in 1750I haven't played that far but shouldn't medical advances have already significantly advanced by that point too?
Does this game have a single good song that's not a remix from a previous title?
>>2272043you do get some more disease resistance stuff from techs and buildings but disease resistance is a placebo stat
>>2268654Is Granada still cucked into conquering ALL of Iberia to form Andalusia while Morocco gets it by event?
>>2271968Why don't you start your copy of the game and take a look
>>2272046Yes. Granada also can't raid for slaves
>>2272043They locked up the guy who told people to wash their hands a hundred years later in mental institution.
>>2272031>>Food is too abundant>No shit? That's been the case globally since the invention of Agriculture.Anon... hunger was an annual event, every spring people went hungry because the winter food stores were eaten and there hadn't been a new harvest yetIn some parts of the world it was so bad that people would abandon agriculture entirely and rely on gathering, or only do a little bit of farming, which hampered state budget (the grain-based tax collector fears the wild food scavenger)
>Nooo help we're starving send help :(Why don't you grow food peasants, this is a hill grasslands continental location?>NO! We mine stone here!!
>>2272050>>2272041Source?
How does EUV represent the little ice age?
>>2272051It's more like>Noooo we're starving please let us all go back to subsistence to feed ourselves :(>NO! You WILL become laborers, you WILL mine rocks, you WILL pay taxes on each rock, and you WILL be happy
>>2272051There are still small farms in every location but food rgos repersent large scale agriculture. As the population grows they quickly outstrip what those small farms can provide.
>>2272048Fuck Johan for giving north africans all these buffs.
>>2272053It's a situation, naturally.
>>2272053its a situation that reduces food production by a lot with a bunch of events about distributing food and people starving etc
>>2272054where are they going to get land, tools, seeds and experience when all they've known is quarry work?
Is there anything about floods or is that for a future DLC? I want to put my capital on a major river but I'm scared of Johan tricks
>passing the time>decide to check what the subhumans are complaining about>it's >>2272000 and picrelYea, johan fucking won.
>>2272064I NEED MY CHEEVOS!!!!!!!!
>>2272064If you need someone else to "structure" your campaign for you, you probably also can't picture an apple in your head
>>2272055Ah yes the large scale agriculture of the 14th century... Wait ...
>>2272055Yeah food RGOs are basically latifundia where the state directs local power brokers to corral labor onto a big complex to farm for profit and taxes. The true soulful farmer life happens with your unemployed peasants engaged in subsistence farming.
>unifying your culture group, since it changes your primary culture, resets your cultural influence entirelygood game
>>2272070sir please understand we are small indie company
I think basic cheevos should be able to be earned without iron man but the more harder ones should require it. Good balance.
>>2272066I was going to make an arguement against you then remembered every campaign I set up objectives for myself subconciously as I setup the first unpause.
>>2272064The game runs slow as fuck anyway and a lot of stuff is still broken. I'd rather swallow glass than have it run even slower and with no console access.
>>2272073The ONLY thing that bothers me about ironman not being like their other games is that I won't get to play with CooomKino.
>>2272070Cultural influence is a meme, it's almost entirely determined by your current production so it'll tick right back up to where it was. This also means influence+/- modifiers are worthless, like there's one dhimmi privilege that gives +1 tolerance of heathens for -15% influence or something, it's worth using every time. Cultural influence is one of the game's dump stats.
The more I play this, the more I realize France is the main character.
>>2272075not him, but I select my goals and objectives when selecting a countryI look at the map and decide: Yea, maybe I will play Korea and destroy the jap and chink menace.
>>2268664Majapahit, lots of money but really boring since no one can contest you in the early game.
I still don't see where France gets all the levys they do even after the black death and taking as many heavily populated provinces I can.
>>2272064I only play ironman. What is the first fag crying about?
>>2272082My goals flux with the gameplay. I also try and roleplay a country and ruler's leadership as much as possible.
>>2272085They're built different.
>>2272081the only thing that could destroy France was other frenchmen
>>2272089Johan fixing ironman save scumming in a patch.
>struggle over royal power kicks off>it's just a regular noble rebellion I fought like 5 times already >only 3 provinces rebel, rebels barely have enough troops to siege anything >kill the rebels >crisis ends well that was a nothingburger
The main characters of EU5 are France, Mamluks, Majapahit and Korea.
>>2272089alt f4 saves the game now
>>2272081In 15th-17th century Europe? Absolutely. Unfortunately (for them) the revolution, terror, and Napoleon made sure that France could never be a hegemony again.
>>2271885sieges arent realjust click assault. as long as you have regulars you lose maybe 1% of your stack.
>>2272098You forgot Bohemia
>>2272099this will never not be funny
>finally crushed the revolutionThank fuck that that's over>You will no longer be able to get it for 20 yearsoh
England is the protagonist of the world
>>2272098the actual mvp are chinks or indians and france. my great power ranking is filled with countries whose names i dont even recognize.
>>2272099what about killing the process in task manager?
>>2272109Kernel level anticheat detects if you open task manager and makes an autosave.
I hate the try hard culture around ironman mode in general. There is nothing wrong with reloading a save and it isn't 'scummy' at all.
>columbian exchange>no columbian exchange happens >religious wars >no religious wars happen >little ice age happens >doesn't matter because food is infinite >council of trent happens >nothing is agreed on >western schism happens >nothing happens >hussite wars happen >no hussite wars happen
>>2272115people are dumb enough to do ironman when theres still a good chance of getting a game breaking bug lmaoooo
>>2272098I thought Ottomans, France, Majapahit, and Japan were the main characters.Majapahit controls SE Asia, Japan wins and conquers its neighbors, Ottomans are the underdog who ultimately beat the Mamluks, and France is France.
>>2272115I save scum too, but there is a huge difference between save scumming because you fucked up and save scumming due to a bug you encounter.
>>2272119Don't forget how a dozen or so of the cheevos are broken too
>>2272120Japan and China are forever cluster fucks so Korea starting united remains triumphant.
>>2272117you forgot black death. the main reason for the start date. literally nothing happens and it's easier to deal with than the generic crises you get as any nation.
>>2272117we love situations
>>2272117i wish ai wasn't so uselessi wanted to say "when it comes to trade and colonization", but it goes beyond that
>>2272124blackdeath was a netgain for the survivors in real life.
>>2272128In foreign net slang, this is called a "truth nuke" or "truth nuclear bomb"
>>2272124I forgot about it because guess whatnothing happens
In reality post black death there should be a mass movement from poorer areas to richer ones. Some areas today have less population than they did pre-black death.
>intervene in my cute rival war (he is half my size after previous war)>send half my levies to siege stuff>there's a small army of 600 next to my 3k>send them in without thinking about it >loseThere was regulars hiding inside...
>>2272128not if you weren't a total shithole in the first place. the whole reason byzantine empire started collapsing was because they got hit by bybonic plague and the arabs didn't
>>2272120>Japan wins and conquers its neighborsNo they stay divided into 6 million clans all game>Ottomans are the underdog who ultimately beat the MamluksNo they stay in Anatolia all game
>>2272101>bankrupting itself to help a british colony freeFrance had already lost
>>2272132Should've zoomed in on the toy soldiers to see the guys marching around in shiny metal plate...
>>2272120>Ottomans are the underdog who ultimately beat the Mamluksbtw, they're orthodox
>>2272133forgot to specify yurop.
I just can't fathom what's inside the head of a normalfag that wants achievements to be earnable in non-ironman games. can't be human
>>2272135any war would lead to massive debt and despite popular opinion was the last resort of the pre-modern state.
>>2272117>>husite wars happen>>no hussite wars happenIn my last game as brandenburg the pope declared on bohemia and like half of europe joined the call against bohemiaUnfortunately bohemia was allied to france so they beat back all of the hre+iberia+italy I did manage to cripple bohemia by separate deccing when France wouldnt join them tho, so far the Hussite wars have had like a 600k death toll
>>2272139I WANT MY FUCKING BADGES, FUCK YOU ELITIST SCUM
>>2272139They probably want to get cheevos without waiting a year before the game runs smoother and doesn't break.
>>2272117>>western schism happens >>nothing happenshistorically accurate
I'm just going to play vanilla and blob, I'm tired of this broken game that needs 30 mods to fix basic shit
i keep trying to steal maps from western europe to find america but there doesnt appear to be any, is 1515 too early? they are just trying to colonize africa
>>2272146They outright can't explore across oceans until a tech in the age of discovery.
>>2272141I had 1 war happen during the situation, I helped Bohemia as Poland and the entire crusade got redirected to me, nobody even bothered going into Bohemia. We won and then Czechs gave up and became Catholic again anyway.Thank you Johan.
>>2272146It's 1650 and I still can't see the Americas and past the Urals.
>>2272140The war didnt break the united kingdom
the game is still in a better state than EU4, Victoria 3, CK3 launch.
>>2272147the age is almost over tho, it ends in 1537is it really up to the player to do everything
>>2272148I mean thats historical, czechs kicked a lot of ass then realized that staying hussite would be a stupid idea longterm so they walked back on a lot of their points
>>2272155Misread but yeah they will all focus Africa first. If Portugal stays alive they'll go for Brazil, and Spain for Mexico/Caribbeans. Never seen Britain get itself together.
>>2272155maybe the've been busy fighting WW 0.1
>>2272120Ottomans have never beaten Mamluks in my games. They just convert to orthodoxy and sit in Anatolia doing nothing. Maybe if they're lucky they'll take Istanbul.
>>2272154Where are everyone defending those launches?
>>2272160whoops
Just learned that my allies can take MY provinces by taking it from my revolts. What kind of retarded shit is this?
>>2272064 (me)Another common complaint seems to be>NOOOOOO WHY ARE MY COLONIES IN NORTH AMERICA LOSING MONEY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWeren't most colonies a complete waste of resources? Spain got the best ones that actually made tons of money.
>>2272165some revolts you have to negotiate peace some you add territory back after occupation, i still dont understand it
>>2272167They were long term investments. north america for example solved a lot of food insecurity in great britian with corn exports.
>>2272167it may be wrong to say a complete waste but most were not directly profitablebut the game does not portray how most colonies were not state funded or how a lot of expeditions were privately fundedlike the other anon said north america provided GB with food/lumber and a bunch of other stuff but in game this isn't important at all because you can just build up your home RGOs and not worry about food
>>2272168Treating revolts like nations and having to negotiate peace with them even if you absolutely destroys them is something extremely retarded and they need to fix it ASAP.
>>2272173>>2272169bulk trade in food and raw materials is basically never profitable ingame however
gold and silver mines like the Spanish got are immediately very profitable, also the natives in these regions were much more developed so the Spanish didn't have to build a lot in infrastructure they just replaced the Aztec/Incan administration with their own. North America was mainly lumber, food (corn and fish) as well as a small amount of cash crops like tobacco. They also had to build the administration and infrastructure from nothing.
>>2271712haha, and they are still their tributary for some fucking reason, despite in their fantasy state being stronger than both horde and moscow, but ai probably cant estimate it correctly, it sees that the horde has 5,7M people and gets shit scared
>>2272179In vicky3 age countries like denmark and italy could actually get rich without having to conquer colonyIn euv era colonies like haiti and cuba were printing free money
>>2272184woomp woomp
>>2272184They'll never stop being a tributary by themselves. First of all it probably costs too much warscore to free themselves and second being a tributary is just an obligatory alliance, you don't actually pay that much and you get some other nigga to defend you. It's actually beneficial.
Why are England and Bulgaria's flags just a color swap of each other?
>>2272188true, what the fuckwhen i played as a vassal or something i was paying a significant portion of my income to the liege
>>2272190>
>>2272192They are disloyal so they pay less.
>>2272193Is that Niger?
New money making scheme just dropped.
>>2272196and i assume they can still wage any war they want?being a tributary is kinda nice then, what was such a big deal historically
Why are rebellions so worthless. Like nothing ever happens. 95% of a country rises up in revolt, no consequences. 3 months later everything is back to the status quo.
>>2272146The Papal States are always one of the #1 colonizers due to the amount of money they get which leads me to believe having the game on Hard/Very Hard from the start may make the AI more inclined to colonize. Might do some observer test games to check if no one else has tried already.
if the simulation was good, as in, if the social economical and geopolitical layout was accurate, and mechanics were true to life, then you wouldn't have to rail-road nations with mission trees or specific scripts to have 80% outcome be historically accurate
>>2272203It's great when you're small next to big guys
Why does this happen every game
>>2272206Yes... But alas, the technology isn't there yet, so we must buy the DLC...
>>2272209I don't see any italian pops so this isn't every game.
ATTENTIONSomething might be HAPPENING in the game I'm observing.Thank you for your attention on this matter.
>>2272209Prussian Amazon... Vgh...
>>2272205i will have to wait and see but so far they are way behind france in this regard.i kinda feel they should not be allowed to colonize to begin with, only convert maybe.
>>2272209>no italians>turks doing anythingthis isn't everygame
whats the best way to go about vassalizing someone else's vassals? do i really have to go to war twice, once to free them and then another to vassalize them?? seems like a pain. and every CB has such high cost modifiers to do anything
>>2272216full annex their overlord.
>>2272216You can transfer vassalage if the vassal is part of the war on their overlord
Is the AI allowed to separate peace disloyal vassals?
>>2272217it's those bastards Majapahit so can't really do that.>>2272218they're in the war but on their overlord's side, not mine
>>2272220>LLMclaude can't even beat pokemon and it's way larger and smarter than local
>>2272220So they'll inevitably play like the retards on Reddit?Thought you wanted smarter AI.
Are the Handgonners actually worth building? I love getting early guns but armored cav definitely seem more impactful, at least just from the numbers.
>>2272222Don't you have the option to vassilize the vassal in the peace deal? Might have to occupy them first to be available.
>>2272226they are a meme but I geuss you could mix them in with your infantry.
>>2272227I've never seen it even when fully occupied. Even releasing some of those vassals is way over 100 war score with the only CB I can get against them
How do I optimize a BBC (Building based country) to be both tall and wide?
>>2272226Why does everyone keep asking this? All units are exactly the same except for the unit size and a few minor bonuses. Unit composition doesn't matter unless you plan on storming forts.
>play eu4 anbennar while waiting for eu5 to get fixed>they changed rezenkand from elf conquistadors to goody-two shoe freedom fighters trying to save the new world from evilAre you fucking kidding me
>>2272232The numbers are certainly different but I can't get a handle on how each unit is actually performing, they're really the same? Can I ask how you determined this?
>>2272234>play reddit mod>get reddit changeswhy are you surprised?
The combat doesn't make any senseWhat is Johan doing?
>>2272235All unit type of a certain age share the same regiment size and damage (which determines how good they are in combat in terms of damage done). The only things that change are initiative/morale damage/damage taken. It's completely retarded.For example you have 2 infantry types per age. One is 'regular' and has standard stats with no bonuses. The other has the same stats but with a bit more initiative but more morale damage taken.
>>2272239he's fixing it
>>2272242How does this compare when you're talking about infantry vs cavalry?
im sorry lads but eu4 is the superior gameim afraid it wont ever be surpassed
>>2272245Cavalry is just better and costs less manpower, but it sucks for storming forts. In my last game I had a few cav armies and 1 inf army for storming forts.
>>2272209>No giant Neapolitan blobThis doesn't look like "every game"
>>22722474 wasnt even better than 3
>>2272247I'm trans btw
Kijow.
Is there somewhere that explains what impacts siege progression? The AI seems to conduct sieges much faster than I do and with far greater consistency, and I don't see what they're doing that I'm not.
>>2272188ye they never declare independence no matter whati also checked in my muscovy game, to cancel them was 450% warscore??? they were same size roughly as at start>>2272189i mean he's not wrong, they were highly developed compared to the rest of americain particular, cortez just coopted the native hierarchy after taking tenochtitlan, they were kinda used to being subjects and he was generally more benevolent than the fucking aztecs wereof course, over time new arrivals from castile demanded rights and influence and all that so the system kinda collapsed after the first generation. didnt help that 85% of the natives died off either.
>>2272256AI has a hidden +3 to siege rolls, nothing you can do about it.
>>2272256more canons
>>2272256reinforce your forts
jaguaribe
Everyone knows you can click on Ctrl+y to turn on promixity map mode which will show how proximity to a province is routed when selecting it? Would post an image but we are beyond image limit2ddmn
>>2272212keep us updated, this seems kino.
>>2272265Quite literally nothing happened. The revolutionaries won and the Ottomans are still a monarchy. I don't even understand it.
>>2272234They want to remove all the old chuddy content.
>>2272269did the rebels annex land? or do they enforce demands like in vic 2? i dont understand.
what the fuck is the AI doing to its armies and why have I not lost a single battle in over 200 years
>>2272273I don't know how it works, but the ottomans were 100% occupied and then the rebel movement/territory just disappeared.
>all my vassals and colonies are completely disloyal because their combined strength is allegedly stronger than me>age of revolutions in 4 yearshow fucked am I?
>>2272281Get ready to spread your asshole open
>>2272281Boost loyalist movements/increase diplo spending/increase relations. Or make more standing armies.
>>2272274they don't know how to make more regulars than you
>>2272287Even regulars get BTFO though. Not even terrain penalties help AI armies.
>>2272225I want to ask Tripadvisor how to play EU5
>>2272010>more bloat = more gooddumb
>>2272209>>2272249thisreplace turks with neapoli and then it's accurate
anyone tried stacking loads of cav on one flank?wipe out enemy flank quickly, and then get the flanking bonus on their center
>>2272290do they build enough cannons?
>>2272256Admin skill of general helps I think
>>2272049That guy was a retard. He could have just quoted the bible verse about washing yourself in running water when being sick or interacting with them. Instead, he had to harp on about little invisible disease spirits.
does the AI ever try to take back cores they lost? feels like random provinces are taken too easily and i never see a war to try to reclaim it. shit like aragon or tunisia in italy or any european in the balkans/anatolia. not sure if the AI thinks the enemy is too strong so never goes to war or what
>>2272051You can build farms and fishing villages. >nobody ever starved btw Genius.
>>2272256are they resieging forts that you took? you need to refill the garrison with regularsif not, then it’s either tech bonuses, general admin ability, cannons, or spy network
is anyone else just completely clueless while playing this game. i used to play eu3 instead of eu4 when eu5 wasnt around due to my potato pc and its a game so simple and not much complex at all anyone can understand it. However here in eu5 i just feel like a complete retard. anyone else feel the same?
>>2272070>>2272072If you understood those systems, you'd also understand why that's not a big deal.
>>2272303not really. and I think thats because "cores" dont really work like cores did in EU3 and 4 where you basically kept permanent claims on a province. as soon as the AI loses territory they basically completely forget about it.
>>2272115>anon keeps rerolling his die at board game night, emphasizing how there is nothing inherently wrong with that
>>2272308It took me a few failed campaigns to get my head around what I'm supposed to be doing.
can you re-form really old nations?
>marry one of my nephews to a distant cousin>lose 10 legitimacydid they fuck up the 'marry a local noble' thing?
>>2272234>harpies suddenly care about consent in 1444Not sure if I'm even looking forward to EU5 Anbennar.
that’s probably a post from a real person on reddit
>>2272239The idiot doesn't understand the bloated mess of 500 combat and unit modifiers he made either, and refuses to test any of his changes for some reason.
"ai" wrote that actually
>>2272320>>2272225
>>2272297They almost only make infantry for some reason. Must be why they always take 3 times my casualties.
>>2272256It's because you either don't put a garrison in captured forts (like a fool) or because you are all in on the offensive value (like a fool). You probably do know about artillery helping with sieges (like a regular person).
>there's literally ZERO cathars in my country (Muscovy)>fucking have to lose 10 to all my heir's stats or he converts to Catharwhat the FUCK, who did you talk to nigger? your fucking hallucinations or something?
>>2272323AI gets absolutely destroyed by my cavs atm because they just build handgooners and early arquebussies
give me one good reason i should stay catholic
>>2272323>>2272328where should I put handgooners anyways?
Oh so I can grow chili in fucking Estonia but I can't grow cocoa in Poland? What kind of schizophrenia is this?
>>2272329Because it thematically fits your campaign. Swapping culture and religion for min/max-reasons is very soulless.
>>2272330I press the magic balance button and God guides them on their way.
>>2272325Do it anon. Become cathar russia
>>2272325It came to him in a dream
>>2272334I don't have the same religious group heir law so he is no longer my heir.My heir is now one of my current ruler's daughter's kids and she married a local noble...and I don't want to go into -60 stability to meme a cathar Russia...
>>2272124this isn't true, it kills 100m people every game. as the byzzies I lost 40% of my population
Why is the AI building naval supplies everywhere nigga I have no navy and 1 port.
>>2272342to sell to the niggas with boats
>>2272343Except they're all unprofitable
actually fuck it, I did it, I am now -56 stability but it will be funny
>>2272338>and I don't want to go into -60 stability to meme a cathar Russia...Do it. Fate has spoken anon, you must
>>2272342because its profitable even with zero demand
>>2272225where's quora?
>>2272350its not because it cant run because theres no tinbut theres no supply and no demand so it just presumes default prices which would make it profitablenext to clay pits and salt collectors its my top deleted building
>>2272340doesnt really matter since you have infinite money in this game, as byz the disasters are way more damaging, if you avoided them then you dont even know how little black death matters. if the succession crisis is 100 on a scale, then black death is maybe 20-30 on the same scale. the worst thing about it is the 20 stability you lose instantly.
OHHH I found out why I was getting -10 legitimacy every time someone of my dynasty married local nobles.I didn't have 'royal marriage rights' active.
>>2272331yeah i don’t know why chilis can grow in cold climate areas
>>2272135They went "bankrupt" like 10 times in 18 century, it meant nothing
>>2272363It's called Chilly for a reason
>>2272368how did the 18th century end for them?
>>2272363The spice goods are stupid, they're supposed to "represent" a bunch of different categories of spices so you have giant pepper farms in Korea and chilis in siberia etc.earlier in development they didn't even have cloves, it was just "pepper"
im a retard can someone explain to me why beer and liquor are two separate things?
>>2272377Same reason why lumber and masonry are.
>>2272377Beer is fermented from grainLiquor represents all spirits so it can be made from a lot of things, including beer
>>2272371I think you’ve got personal feelings about France, anon
>>2272377beer is weak shit and liquor is strong shit beer in the middle ages was a lot less alcoholic and basically used instead of drinking water a lot of the time because fermentation made it safe to drink. whereas liquor is just for getting smashed
>>2272377Is this a game design question, a question about beer and liquor or is it a practical thing?If it's a practical question, you can produce liquor out of beer.
anyone gonna make a new thread
>>2272356Based
Reminder that Jesus was the son of God, he is not God. If he had to be created, then he isn't eternal like God.
>>2272291At least Tripadvisor would know its shit in geography
>>2272291>>2272391>What's the quickest route to the indies?
>rejecting the Trinity in the year of our lord 2025
>>2272383I just don't think France was snubbed of its future as a hegemony by a revolution caused by its inability to manage its economy
Why don't we just worship Mary as a fertility goddess?
>>2272399True. After the Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, France was still a force to be reckoned with. What truly killed France (and Europe as a whole) were the World Wars.
>>2272406we should start doing thatmight revitalise christianity
>>2272406Catholics have been doing this
>>2272406dont look at what's happening in latin america right now anon
>>2272414lots of drugs?
>>2272414Nah, they worship santa muerte and palo mayombe shit there
>>2272390But Christianity holds that Christ was eternally within the Father, not created. dumb fuck
>>2272406Whenever I see a girl her age I am lost because of her divine grace and beauty. Some holy things echo through humanity in such ways. Is reverence not part of worship. On weekends, even the supermarket turns into a holy place.
>>2272419Trinity deniers don't really care about any of that Bible stuff.
>>2272406Don't Trideists do this already? By claiming that she gave birth to God?
>>2272423>The Gospel of James also states that Mary was 12–14 years old at the time of her betrothal to Joseph and that she was 16–17 during her pregnancy, according to most manuscripts.anon....
>>2272427I wish my missionary dad was CIA funded because we grew up poor as hell
>>2272432>>2272432>>2272432colonize
>>2268743That’s the enemies armies you are taking as prisoner you retard. Click on them, you can ransom, kill or hire them.
>>2272358ive done probably 4 successful byz runs and the disasters are completely toothless. if you can beat the ottomans in the first war (by just nocbing them day 1) you're completely fine
What’s a good pace for reconquering the Eastern Roman Empire’s territories? I plan to restore Justinian’s borders, and potentially colonize in East Asia, East Africa, and South Africa (islands, trade ports, cape, maybe Australia) to roleplay foreign policy aimed at Rome controlling Indian and Oriental trade west in response to exploration opening up trade routes that circumvent Constantinople. Which Italian culture should I accept and unite my Italian provinces under? Was thinking Median since that’s what old Rome is.
someone bake a new thread pls
>>2272248Infantry gives secure flanks modifiers though
>>2272360They should really write that into the effects of the privilege, instead of letting you guess from the flavor text
>>2269194That’s what you get for trying some gay meta shit you brown subhuman
>>2272925It already exists>>2272432
>>2271574Mana was never bad tying to to mana is bad, some might say tying ideas to mana was also bad but i'm conflicted about that
>>2271566I'll be keeping a close eye on this
