>>2282941Whats the highest discipline you can get rn and is it worth disciplinemaxxing? Can you still make space marines as PreuBen?
>>2282944>Can you still make space marines as PreuBen?you get a cabinet action later to pump discipline
>>2282944>AI is retarded and bad at fighting wars>AI is retarded and has shit army compositions>AI is retarded and still relying on levies in 1700If you want to make spehssmareens you can go for it but there's no need to. Having a big all-regular army and pumping your quantity value is probably going to get you the most efficient results unless you are really devoted to seeing a 50k stack melt a 200k stack.
>Papal ParisV G H !
>AI managed to bring pepper to europe in 1300s through india-hormuz-bagdhad-levant-italy trade chainI'm actually impressed
>5 times the Italian pops in Papal Brazil than in Papal statesThey really ought to disable colonization for the pope.
we cant stop winning

I saw 20 carrier ships a-sailing,A-sailing on the sea;And, oh! It was all ladenWith powerful, regulars for thee!
behold the teutonic and finno ugric hordes!the game is apparently throwing a random dice on who gets golden horde provinces...
When, if ever, do you make a culture fully accepted?
>>2282980if you have culture capacity for it and you have a significant amount of their pops then you may as well
>>2282980There isn't really a reason since conversion is so efficient but generally if you are larping you just accept cultures that you either can't convert right now (for instance it may take 100 years from game start as Finland before converting Swedish is possible) or if you need immediate power boost due to accepted cultures giving levies and generally not being so mad.It doesn't really hurt you if you have the capacity for it so there's technically no reason not to just accept a culture group that you are comfortable having around but of course that goes against map autism that most people have including myself.
if i could make a )hopefully positive( criticism of the game it is this:too much of the game is trying to paint some good borders in too weight-of-feeling a single player game, where the AI doesn't have any such proficiency or intentionAI is really the thing that would make these games emergent/immersive. as it is it's got the same kind of touching on ck3 vibe where you're the only one who gives a damn,.. and you have to struggle hard to co-exist on a map where you just know the only thing boucing around in the AI's mind is rocks
the counterbalance is the 'core-gameplay-loop', to borrow a phrase, is tight and sweet, it's just that after about 200 hrs or so it's biting; where you feel the strain of having to do everything right knowing the game and the lacklustre ai personality is going to defy you and refuse to make something interestingit should be telling that i have no desire to play the game much too much, my feeling is to wanna play ck3:agot
>>2282986Do you get a penalty towards assimilating pops if they're of a tolerated or accepted culture?
the great middle eastern hugbox of 1449, the few white nations in anatolia are vassals of the mamlucks too.140.000 soldiers that cockblock any further advances in the east.
>Age of reformation just ends without a religious warIs this supposed to happen?
>>2283007there's a reason it can fire until the Age of Revolutionsthat being said, it never fires regardless and that's less intended
>>2282996EU5 has Stellaris disease. There are only a handful of guidelines for AI behavior(situations) and even those barely work. So the only time the player is in diplomatic danger is at the very beginning of the game where you hope you don't randomly get rivalled by an AI country powerful enough and close enough to threaten you.Otherwise the AI just follows a generic expansion/war logic that prioritizes eating up smaller neighbors, particularly those that give suicidal casus belli away for free by doing meaningless insults (you know how you get your 16th notification that some literal who city-state in Bavaria insulted you and you can't be bothered to give a shit because you're playing England? AI will seize that and go in guns blazing) As long as the player plays "low key" and doesn't pick fights with a stronger or equal opponent, you are practically guaranteed to enjoy a campaign where wars only happen when you want it to. This is identical to Stellaris where your greatest sin as a human player is neighboring an aggressive AI that's bigger and stronger than you, otherwise you can turtle for forever and never be touched.Idk if you want to call them mission trees or events or railroads or decisions or journals but EU5 should be moving at least a few steps closer towards HOI4 in the sense that it can (on historical modes) mostly guarantee X event happens around Y date. If you play as France in HOI4 historical mode, you know Germany is guaranteed to attack you in 1939 no matter if you have a huge alliance, industrialized, and built a bigger army. This would fix how historical conflict regions in EU5 barely matter. You can play Serbia and be reasonably certain the Ottomans will never attack you. You can play Korea and never get a single Japanese invasion attempt
what is the absolute best way to culture convert a province? what is all the stuff I need?
>>2283012Get high control and put your cabinet member on it and it's done deal in few months. If you can't get high control then just wait the few times few months for it to tick down. Alternatively just give it to vassal.
>>2282944Probably Ottomans, they get +10% from advances (and very early), not sure if there are other tags with something comparable to itGet lots of Nobles and give them the disc priviledge
>>2283012the absolute best?>high cultural influence>low cultural tradition for the people to be assimilated>cabinet action to assimilate>cultural hegemon, to unlock cabinet action to assimilate area (pairs with high cultural influence)>strong humanistic valuesalso helps if they have a lot of peasants. soldiers and labourers work too. burghers are not ideal, clergy/nobles will be a pain, and tribesmen/slaves cannot assimilate
Morale loss while moving seems way too overtuned
>having to re-click all your seazones to Patrol>can't just do right click (to select all in the list) because that would include all your oversea trade posts/offices that are on the other side of the globesufferingalso for some reason patrolling the seas give experience when automated, but parking your navy on a specific seazone to gain Presence does not give experience
>>2283016>>2283019thanks, i will remove all gayreeks from the gamet. urk
>>2283009i quickly tag switch to force it to happen during the Age of Autism. Austria was btfo'd by Bohemia making the HRE Lutheran. But it does finally end both the religious wars and reformation situation clogging up my top bar. And with the reformation ended all those shitty preacher building disappear as well
>>2283010all's i'm saying is a competent AI that knows how to show ass will be several times more compelling for creating map-based narratives in the petrie dish. and the gameplay-loops are hectic taxing if you're not into itwhat i mean is: we'll be waiting 10 years for 'the best /gsg ever made', and anyone who knows anything knows that by then, it'll be too lateage of enlightenment was our last hope
>>2283022my biggest gripe with navies is why the fuck doesn't the automation send them to repair. Patrol and area that has ocean tiles that they need to cross they will just kill themselves. Also the go to port and repair button doesn't even work if the navies are being automated. they instantly leave port and go back on patrol
by competent AI i mean the hardcore stuff. not whatever wiz has been cookingin the meantime i'll be playing hl3 (non-VR mode)
It feels like theres not really much incentive to expand other than just becausePart of me wants to feel like I need to expand or at least tallmaxx to prevent other countries from expanding and kicking my shit in, but the AI will never do that because they can't really manage a country on anywhere near the same level as a player
watching a recent live performance from ween. it's browner than ever. eufuenf is like that
>>2283036You are intuitively correct. There's very little you gain especially in terms of gain per click (which is how you should measure value) expanding outside of your capital market/control reach. Expanding is still valuable if for nothing else so you can max out the RGO's that AI refuses to max out but it's very little reward for the effort you have to spend. AI builds too many forts so combat isn't very engaging and without control and/or market access anything you do build comes with a fraction of the profit.On the whole I think the building loop really shines when you have manageable amount of both population and locations to work with. My Finland run has been lot more engaging than my Castille run if for nothing else than the fact that I get to actually think what I should do with my money and pops because I only have bit of each.
I still have the papal ban on empires after dismantling the HRE.Is there something else I should do to remove it?
>>2283040Updated to 1.10 and fixed it, lmao.
The control mechanic seems like something they wanted to put into imperator where large empires were an aberration and most countries remained small or followed natural waterways but paradox killed it before implementation. Not so much for eu5 when most parts of europe are ruled by large countries and many had enclaves in different parts of Europe
>>2283006this is dumbilkhanate members should get events to lower their relations with each other pushing then to war or something
Why is France allowed to call me into all their little bullshit wars that are over before I can even ship my troops over but they won't help me take the Orkneys from Norway
>>2283064Because the favor system is fucked and doesn't actually influence whether or not people will join your wars yet will allow the AI to suck you into every single war they fight anyway.
>>2283006In my wars against the mamluks as byzantines they always send all their levies to siege cyprus and then I kill them there if i have not already sunk them on the way. Fill your border with forts and it should work for you
>>2283066It's their revenge for forcing them to join your wars in EU4
Why did the idiots in spain fight 80 years for a place they had zero control over instead of just stacking paper mills around madrid
>>2283071You can get great control in Antwerp, what are you on about?
>Captain Weeaboo
>>2283064at least you can use the favors to ask for a fuck load of ducats
Oh GodAm I fucked?
>>2283071because they owned the trade center which made them a lot of money. so the fact that the area they had low control over and was mostly autonomous didn't really matter
>>2283018teutons into prussia is probably stronger
>>2283067will try my best but it's prbly gonna take another 100 years before i can make that move. those 50k from the hordes will smash against those forts and need to be dealt with too.i'm also still integrating 70% of my empire and my finances + control just started getting better.pirates sure enjoyed me having 0 light ships for the longest time.
>>2283078>something happenedUnthinkable. You better play this out to the end and not pussy out.
Should I be saying up for institutions or wait until they get to a reasonable level to embrace them?
>>2283078there's always a bigger horde
>>2283089how badly do you need the boost to great power score or boost to research speed from embracing
Chambered demi cannons are good on the beta. Was getting raped by the ai until I got some of my own.
>>2283089I usually try to import all 3 age institution as soon as possible, then you embrace the most useful one when it gets to 20% and by the time you research the good techs it had the other ones will have spread enough to be cheap
>>2283066This is sort of how it was in EU4 too. AI gets a free pass not to join any wars they don't want to. Where as, you'll get a penalty for denying a call to arms.
>>2283078Let me guess,Kyiv is somehow protected by them
>>2283095You don't even get a choice to deny anymore
>>2283089Depends on how your finances look and what techs and institutions you already have. The only thing you lose from waiting is 5% research progress so about 1 tech every 50 years at age 4. If you have no urgent need to pick up techs from that tree specifically and need money or stab more at the time then you can just wait.
>>2282941This little boy is conquering England all by himself, just when I decided to try Burgundy and was having some fun with it
>>2283095>denyhahahaha
>>2283087I think its very doable if you drill a stack of good levies and get a good number of forts on your border and islands. Place them on mountains and across rivers so you get an additional bonus when ending sieges. But don't fuck up a save for me.Consider taking those remaining greek patches of land for the free cores, if they haven't been culture converted already.
Why the fuck is it trying to use ships to move to this province that is directly adjacent to the one I'm currently in? Can you override this somehow?
>>2283109Because there's a fort in the province you're covering with the popup
Can I get out of my way to learn how to trade or are they going to change it again?
>>2283113But I could move past it to both Flensburg and Tonder. I've never read up on how ZoCs work, do they have no effect on the provinces that actually border the castle but prevent armies from moving from already controlled provinces out from the ZoC?
FUCKING MOORSI HATE MOORSFUCKING SLAVER FUCKING SHITSKILL MOORSBEHEAD MOORSARRRRRGHHHHH
>>2283117if you move into a ZOC location then you are only allowed to move back to your previous location or to the fort location
>>22830101) All sandboxsisters NEED o hang themselves immediately after they seethe at your post2) Copy-paste from someone else:>I like Stellaris. I don't want even a crumb of history in my historical game.>I want a "totally randomized free-for-all" (which in effect just guarantees whoever is strongest in 1377 will continue to be undisputed great powers for the next 500 years)>The game should just have some historical flavoring dripped onto a dead "sandbox">Impactful event that causes a historical alliance, annexation, PU or other thing to happen so the broadest strokes of history still take place despite AI retardation? Railroading! Downvote!>Nothingburger event that lets you hire a mediocre historical artist or priest for 25% of your country's GDP? Oh my heck, YES! More like this, please! Don't restrict player agency!Why do these guys even play EU? Just go play Civ it's exactly what they want.Fuck 1337/pre-mid 1400s start too, on top of all that.
>>2283117You shouldn't have been allowed to move into Honder, it's pretty buggy currently
it kind of seems like pirates are balanced for a later date than they appear in
>>2283128Is that why these lazy russian niggas won't upload the beta patch
>>2283128yeah im pretty sure piracy is balanced around the "golden age of piracy" disaster in the 1600's
There needs to be more warscore or war exhaustion penalty if you are>at war>have no more levies>have no more manpower>have no occupied enemy territory/are the one getting inadedI have destroyed the entire Japanese military but I have to slowly siege my way across half their country to scrape together enough warscore for taking a full province in the peace deal
current patch or 1.0.10 betA?
>>2283133If your only goal is to take a province and you have a wargoal for it then you'll both get ticking warscore for it and if you hold it long enough without shit happening you'll be able to enforce a peace, but yeah it kinda sucks if you want to do a general peace treaty
>>2283108>Consider taking those remaining greek patches of land for the free cores, if they haven't been culture converted already.those belong to athens and achaea which are vassals of naples. luckily they're greeks too so they haven't converted anything.naples is my ally though to avoid getting raped by the middle eastern alliance. the second i break that they're prbly going for it.i'm just gonna build up for a couple decades and then try my luck in that big war.
>>2283133Btw by destroyed I mean it, no exaggeration these guys are trying to sneak 3000-man guerillas past my lines. This war has lasted years. I have nearly doubled my military infrastructure since the war began. I landed three times in Kyushu and was driven off three times by a mix of being unable to reinforce without ferrying whole armies back home + the Japanese AI sending random blobs of 5-10 ships to kamikaze my transports. It's a good thing naval combat prevents the "no battles being fought" forced white peace. On the third landing when I was driven off I was considering a white peace but I could see the Japanese manpower was likely being drained so I did another wave of recruitment + regimental camps and now I've finally broken through.>673k dead Koreans>1.6 million dead JapaneseThey have a few thousand troops left in 1801 facing my rebuilt 430k strong army. Come on Paradox, don't make me have to occupy all of Japan just for a chunk of Kyushu...>>2283136I'm using the Imperialism CB
>>2283145If you didn't want to occupy the entire thing, consider not losing so many battles and picking a better CB, literally never had this problem myself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_FpYLnNhVw>vid related with Baroque playing in the backgroundkino
>>2283147>losingI won most of them though, I just couldn't hold onto a beachhead because of the sheer number of Japs banzai charging my landing site in northern KyushuReally? You've never had an issue with having to occupy a clearly defeated AI? Unless you're using only province wargoals I really doubt that
>>2283108my bad, double checked and those vassals in greece are catalan and francien. though only 10% converted so far, many even below 1%.
Flipping to Monarchy as Milan, yeh or nah?
>>2283133Japan needs bigger armies honestly
>>2283156Why wouldn't you? Monarchies always have been objectively better than republics.
>>2283156nah, republic is comfy
>>2283164The game really wants you to flip to monarchy, there's so many events for that for Milan
>>2283133speaking of warscore are all settlements captured considered the same amount of points or is it like capital city > cities > towns > bumfuck wherever
>>2283167In the beginning control has a big impact on warscore and occupying the capital and capital area gives lots of warscore, as ages progress control becomes less important and you have to carpet siege the whole country for warscore
>slavniggers who invaded me now begging me for white peace as i rape their countrylol.... and LMAO!
>>2283173>In the beginning control has a big impact on warscoreOn warscore *cost*
>>2283060The control mechanic was done in EU5 because EU5 poached MEIOU devs and stole MEIOU mechanics
Castile 1415fighting Morocco and Tunis in the sandMy armies are suffering some NASTY 12% per month attrition with no attrition icon. Month after month for year now... it makes this feel completely unwinnable. Has anyone seen this?
>>2283180Malaria. Yes, it's retarded. Your best chance is to paradrop your troops, assault and get the fuck out.
at what point should I expand if I can barely control the edges of my territory?
FINALLY, 200 years later
>>2283189great, now make your borders not look like an ai nations.
>>2283186Always. You give the edges of your empire to fiefdoms/vassals (they have separate LD, so you can field twice as many subjects), then keep expanding and creating more subjects. Getting PUs on minor-medium nations is fine but don't PU anything large like France, England or Bohemia, large PUs are a cancer
England are going on an absolute rampage through central Europe is this normal on the new patch?
>>2283181The DLC.Buy it.
>>2283180>>2283182malaria being in all of africa and conveniently stopping in sinai is beyond retarded
>>2283182it feels completely impossibleI lost 75% of my troops in a year they're goneDo I jsut have to wait 100 years until I can field and reinforce pro armies?
>>2283192So is centralization not really worth it for a while? Everyone kept saying to do it at the start, now it seems like decentralization is the most viable way to play.
>>2283193Working as intended.
>>2283201They build up resistance pretty fast. It's easier if you own a province there, so they die and reinforce until they stop dying
>>2283204I own more of North Africa than Morocco or Tunis does but malaria acts like a magic force field more than a disease.All those countries between Tunis and Morocco are my vassals of fiefdoms. They trade in my markets...My levies started at nearly 50k men, now I'm down near 10k and they have ~30% resistance
>>2283191Border gore is a non issue in eu5 because the game starts with border gore
>>2283219And? Make yours look good.
>>2283217yes you need pro armies, levies will keep getting raped for the rest of the game since they lose the immunity once disbanded
>>2283202Centralization was meta before the 1.08 rework, now decentralization is meta. And previously centralization wasn't affected by vassals, vassal maxxing has been meta since day 1, they just made it even stronger in 1.08
>>2283202yeah, decentralization is way better because your vassals get significantly higher control of their territories thanks to the proximity of the new capital and because they can just assimilate/convert it rapidly. now decentralization just makes your vassals happier so its 100% meta
>>2283202It's not that decentralization is the most viable way to play, it's more like it is the ONLY way to play now after the recent horrendous patch. You will naturally go there because subjects give you points in that direction. So if you expand it's just automatically gonna happen.The only solution to this? Mod it out like me bro
>>2283227>>2283228>waaa waaa why isn't my massive colonial empire with a gorillion cultures and provinces not a 100% centralized ethnostate?? This is BULLSHIT
>>2283230The Russian empire was quite centralized despite constantly using subjects
they main thing centralization has going for itself is the prox cost not crown powerits still viable to go for late game
Why is my diplomatic spending like 22 a month? it's killing my economyit's on lowest as possible.
>>2283154Creta starts as a vassal of venize which usually becomes rather weak or creta breaks away completelyDid you find a second avenue of expansion?
Do i want my capital to be hyper populated or not? I get a lot of peasants who do absolutely nothing due to building limits but they also generate more crown power there
>>2283239In the beginning only your capital is worth shit due to abysmal control.
this place is not better than reddit to be honest. Right after the release I was posting about every country being almost the same, nothing happening, the absolute retardation of the country-specific events where you miss like 30% or more of them and people were all like>omg looking in the .txt files is tranny behaviour just play the game!>missing events is a good thing!and other shit like that. Glad to see that sandbox niggers are finally getting pushed out of here but so much time had to pass, probably some e-celeb talked about that and r/vst has changed its mind
Why are some locations colored a darker green when building ships? There doesn't seem to be difference between building there and anywhere else.
>>2283239Yes, you do. First of all, all peasants are employed in substinence famring and produce some food, which is going to be severely needed in a city. Secondly, population directly affects RGOs, each 1000 people in a province increase RGO size by certain amount and RGOs are uncapped, so you can effectively reach a very high RGO size in your capital by stacking various RGO size bonuses and population there. Your income from everything is also determined by your control, thus it's more profitable to have a 100% control province with livestock than a 0% province with silk
>>2283201I did it as France. I think the armies you send build tolerance as it goes, so by the time they lost 50% of their force, the malaria attrition is over. TL;DR: send twice as many as you think you need.
>>2283247one tick I lose 10% and build way less than 10% toleranceI have France in this war and they are landing troops and having them evaporate tooEven my regulars who I had sitting in north africa at the start of the conflict who have been reinforcing for > two years are only at 70% resistanceMy cannons can't reinforce unless I walk them all the way to Gibraltar because they need a market with cannons to be able to replace men who died from diseaseI think I'm going to just stop playing for a couple months, this is my fourth war in north africa and it was never this bad in 1.0..8
>>2283245theyre probably wetlands
Did they fix the presence of pirates so you can get rid of them with galleys or do you still have to wait till modern banking becomes available to have an overseas empire?
>>2283252What does that mean gameplay wise? They appear to cost the same and take the same amount of time to build a ship as anywhere else.
>>2283258nothingterrain just seeps into all the mapmodes and it's especially noticeable with wetlands so they stick out
should you be dividing all your fleets in smaller groups that have a full front instead of one where the most of ships are in reserve?.
>>2283230>jackShan't be readin'
>>2283245Higher level recruitment buildings offer parallel construction, that could be it?Question, does the host country get anything at all from other countries' Trade Offices? The population counts as the foreign country, not the host's and it just eats up available peasants?
>>2283237i wanted to dig into hungary but naples allied them right after i made my first claim.decided to eat up the golden horde for a bit.i should prbly eat up cyprus and creta (both no allies), thanks for bringing my attention to that island.
>>2283267>it just eats up available peasantsim not sure, you can build similar builings in unpopulated shores of africa and they still get filled with burgers from somewhere
VGH.... GroBbrandenburgums....
>>2283276Unpopulated or uncolonized? Possible they use locals, realistic if it is slave markets
>>2283276nvm the wiki states this>Can also be built in empty locationsForeign buildingCreates 100.0 pops when building(taken from the capital of the owner)Requires more power projection to construct in a foreign location
May Allah strike down this gay nigger country for no one else can
>>2283281uncolonizednot slave markets, the other trade onei half suspect that its my pops from the capital

>>2283235Do you have a lot of vassals?
How do I become an prince of the HRE. I know if one of the countries die a spot opens up, but the countries are either too strong or too far. Is there any other way? I'm trying to form saxony and it's a requirement to be a prince elector.
>>2283300It seems this is a lot less common for Japan now. Many more changes need to be made. But I think the change they made a while back where Daimyos try to keep territory connected and close made a difference.

>going from randomly crushing armies to randomly being crushedSo what's the best regular army comp? In the Reformation age atm with a decent amount of army techs, running4 pistoliers/2 arqebue/2arqebus with 4 cannons in reserve which has worked wonders for like 150 years now
>>2283321The closer to Age 1 you are the more you want to deathstack heavy cavalry which rapes everythingThe closer to Age 6 you are the more you want to deathstack artillery (with some infantry or cavalry to serve as padding) which rapes everything, including forts, even harder but needs a modicum of protection to keep them alive between bombardment phases
>>2283321my go to is 12inf (the meelee ones always) / 4light cav / 4 heavy cav / 12 cannons / 3 supplyIt never failed me against the AI. By the 1600s I rolfstomp everyone no matter the army size.

>>2283267taking a brief look at the wiki it seems like a bad trade for you, gives them trade capacity and trade advantages without giving anything to you.>>2283286>>2283290only when building "Missions" and "over seas trading posts", otherwise they seem to be hired locallywhat's the point of building missions though? does the pops of your culture speed things colonization?
>>2283352you can safely ignore it for most of the game. You can raise it by keeping fort maintenance and cultural investment to max but the benefits aren't anything to go crazy for
would hungary have still gotten killed by the ottomans if their nobles never fucked them
SWEDENYES
After I annex a location I always follow the checklist of>Integrate -> Assimilate and Convert until it's a core>Downgrade all towns and cities to rural>Delete all remaining rural buildingsIt's autismo but I don't like the way AI builds things. I like having a clean slate.
>>2283352prestige reduces antagonism decay by a lot but if you dont have access to prestige ticking tech it doesnt really matter

>>2283383i gave him admin education but to no avail. once in power he instantly got the -7 or -6 event choice too.
>>2283388>I guess Ill have to pull the nuclear option and just demolish every single building I have and hope that's enough lmaoan anon did exactly that last thread and nuked his economy
>>2283374Your scaling costs shouldn't be outpacing your trade.My trade gives me more income than all the tax brackets combined. I can afford to max out all my scaling cost sliders and still max profit.

>>2283379the empire is strong but the seed is weak...
>>2283388the minimum needed is dynamic and +20 of whatever crown power you had before reaching age of absolutism. also I think the number of privileges you need to pull also depends on how many you got.so it's easier to do the less crown power you got going into it
>>2283392That was me lol it wiped out over half my economy and turned me into an RGO basic resource export slave for years>>2283388Don't do it unless you save up a huge slush fund to rebuild your economy with after

>>2283398When Columbian exchange happens you can plant basically everything there since it has zones of every climate. Then you can sell it all to the lucrative asian markets of China, Korea and Japan. Coffee, Chocolate, Sugar, Peppers, Tabacco all make shitloads of money from Australia. Not to mention all the gold there.
>>2283403It's not worth it.
>>2283392I know. Once I pass the 10 year ticker, ill demolish all (((merchant))) buildings and probably all the clergy stuff too and then send hopes and prayers.>>2283396It's an option but I prefer to at least win it once and see how it works out, let it run speed 5 into the 20 year backstop on next runs.>>2283402It should be fine, I only have like 4 cities that I need to rebuild besides lot of my economy comes from trade and subjects and RGO's. I suspect that once I demolish everything I won't even go into negative incomes except temporarily as I have to shut down the trade (since that is giving +90% burgher power). Then I just reenable trade and use the bank to rebuild marketplaces

>>2283398What the other anon said + the way goods work in this game can make it useful. Especially if you are small, it is easy to colonize and gives you huge territory that can extract a bunch of shit.
And why is this all i can take fucking over? That on the left? it's the province without Alexandria - Alexandria itself is a whooping 66 warscore!

>disaster>court and country>rebellions>revolutionsHuh? Am I the only one that never had to deal with any of this? I just give everyone privileges (as long as they are also useful for me and/or it increases their satisfaction equilibrium), allow them to get strong AND get the the +% agenda impact modififers, go full liberal full humanist full innovative and never ever have to deal with a rebellion in my life. Everyone's satisfaction even when taxed at MAX LEVEL is at least 90% it's crazy. And I pass any reform I want since picking just 1 estate issue from the burghers (which will also be something useful like plutocracy/innovative etc) and poof I get to 60% parliament support
>>2283423I think there are mods that lower war score cost
holy shit playing Livonia fucking sucksNo pops, you're a vassal so you can't take any land, poor as shitGuess I'll just do a Teutonic Order game and change my culture to Baltic German instead
Unreal how OP France is. Biggest fleet, biggest army, biggest economy, huge vassal swarm, is setting up colonies even before the new world insitution even spawns, how can you compete with them? They even forced me (dont know how) to stop all trade with england, the fuck?
>>2283423>why can't I just annex the most powerful province of my immediate strongest enemy 1/3rd through the game's playthrough for nothing?
>>2283423The longer you occupy a province to lower the cost gets. Also taking non-continguous provinces increases cost.
>>2283435Don't worry anon, less than 200 years after EU5's end date the French will mass import niggers to breed themselves into extinction.
Has anyone EVER had a playthrough where the top5 countries in the world for 90% of the game are not in asia?
>>2283432I assume you haven't got to lategame in a campaign yet?Court and country is the big event of the age of absolution and you have to either whip your estates in line and go absolutist or cuck out to them and liberalise. Then in the last age, the age of revolutions, the big thing is revolutions. All the big great powers and absolutist monarchies will have huge risk of revolutions, all the colonies will want independence etc.
>>2283439No it doesn't. It impacts AI acceptance, not warscore cost, you can get 100 worth of warscore regardless if you beat them decisively enough.

>>2283437you shouldn't have to occupy the entire country if all you can take is a tiny scrap of territory. if the ottomans took all the forts and cities on the nile delta they wouldn't just give them back lmao
>>2283445ottos also didn't snatch any parts of italy
>>2283445Yeah but that was historical railroading. REALISTICALLY it shouldn't have been possible, and sandboxes should strive for organic outcomes.

(You do need to be at peace for it to disappear though. I nearly got fucked by that. When the disaster popped I had just started a war against Yuan and when I finished that war, years of event spam had crashed my satisfaction so I got two rebellions in a row right after. After winning those two the disaster ended)

>>2283501>>2283479It’s funny when you consider that they’re acting this way over fucking EU4. Outside of the UI elements being kinda ass and definitely needing some work, the AI (as in every paradox game from the last 15 years), literally every single one of this guys complaints can be boiled down to “Uhhh, it’s not EU4 2 and it’s not ‘complete’ like my previous EU4 with $500 worth of DLC so it’s dogshit”

Пeдики
I know some of you are Slavs, I just can't prove it.
>>2283512I feel like the content in this game at release is better than any of the stuff in EU4. EU4 was just a bunch of gamey mission trees where you played out historical memes.
>>2283462even ai korea blobs
Managed to avoid crashing my economy, turns out that by just changing 2 more laws and 2 reforms and nuking the trade I could at the cost of 2 quick civil wars get to the require crown power and end the disaster cleanly 11 years after it started. Now I think the reward is not worth it at all, not sure what you get if you go liberalism side but frankly 20% crown power is such a worthless modifier I'd rather have anything else. That being said at least it's fairly quick to end the disaster like this, I suppose it depends on how high the win threshold is and how your economy is structured if you can win like this but running the estate penalties and events for another 10 years would not be worth it for sure. A shame since I did kinda want to have a reason to redo the industry of my cities but oh well.It's definitely worth it to immediately go back on some of these laws and such and grant most of the good privileges back, there's no real difference between 87 and like 80 crownpower but you can easily buy +10-+15 estate happiness and 2-3 good perks per estate with that. Subjects still disloyal as fuck even with all the support perks and stuff, I should probably annex one more of them just to be safe but there's a +5 subject loyalty in the tree soon so it should still be fine for the age.

Excellent political interplay that doesn't rely on some crappy AI or mandatory 'rivals' shitting up diplomacy, various scenarios and replayability through even custom made event cards, part of me wishes I never even got invested in any of this Paradox shit. Only EU3 was remotely well-made or what was advertised, I'm starting to think it was a fluke.

>>2283549it requires the countries on the silk road to actually do the silk road, part of the problem is the mongolian AIs basically dont do any trading so it requires indians to import from china, arabians (mostly yemen/ormus at that trade trange) to import from india and then egypt to import from them because constantinople market always imports food from egypt.but the early part of the chain doesn't always go off so sometimes it takes fucking ages
>>2283550>levies against cannons and horsesI see no issue besides the unnecessary killing
Is coring time dependent solely on power projection (assuming accepted cultures). Playing as one of France's vassals feels impossible because I just can't never finish annexing conquered land
Florence or Milan, which one is stronger / easier? Milan's seems to be stronger in the long run once they get rid of the shitty estate privileges and integrates the land, they even got a gold mine. But Florence starts stronger initially and can leverage it by getting a head start to blobbing.It's a tough call.

My schizo theory is the sandboxsloppers are Total War refugees. "You get tossed onto the map with a variety of starting positions but after that it's mostly up to you how to expand and the AI just mindlessly blobs most of the time" is exactly the kind of shit TW players would love and """railroading""" historical trends and events would fuck with that.

Russia never forming? Did they even add the Timurids lmao, China never reunifies. Where is muh PreuBen? Big Blue Blob XDDD)>After EU5 release suddenly it's "this mindless AI behavior (which is exactly how Total War AI acts on the campaign map) is perfectly fine!">Powercreep and blobbing has been contentious in EU4 for years but this "we do not want ANY events or systems for railroading, history is boring" is completely newWhen there's smoke there's usually a fire.

>>2283599I'm killing Sw*des this very moment
>>2283578Actually, your game is Stellaris.
Playing 1.0.10., the AI seems to be taking a lot of nonsensical lands in war. Like I have kyiev taking adriatic coast, golden horde having exclaves in sweden. luxemburg in scotland, etc.
>>2283600Guys who just dickride the devs and defend all dev decisions always existed but seeing them go from "one portion of the playerbase" to "5x Hegemon on all forums and social media" is some social media influencer bullshit
>>2283603Why are you betatesting
>>2283589When they make culture conversion not overpowered and you get forced to accept minorities or deal with rebellions.
>>2283604Well they've always been the entire Victoria 3 playerbase because nobody actually likes that shit lmao
>>2283605Because I hate myself, also poland is going for constantinople
>>2283594Plausible
>>2283574You can't influence the council of trent in any meaningful way.
>>2283594I think you may be right, but playing on the beta patch, I've seen the AI be way more aggressive, with the Ottomans taking Constantinople before 1400.Total War players are unfortunately in shambles after trusting developers from perfidious Albion

>>2283656Timurdis just hit dubrovnik in my run.
You can't introduce railroading in a game where so many variables can be actively or passively changed. You can't even guarantee French/English succession will be historically accurate 2 generations in. So what's the solution here? Force monarchies to have historically accurate marriages and heirs?
>>2283656no it's a SIMULATION okay it's so cool to see this every game, it's just like in my fantasy slop
>>2283628Then why are you agreeing with seething about wanting "muh sandbox"?
You should be able to boost cabinet actions with money.
>>2283662Europa Veritas handled it fine, would have to be redone in a year or 2 for EU5. Maybe that plus a later start date
>>2283606passive cultural conversion should not affect accepted/tolerated minorities and the AI should just make sure they are actually using their capacity

>>2283694???Why would you think that
What could devs do to implement AI railroading in a non-invasive way?Scripted claims/cores appeearing past certain dates? Provinces of interest?If you reply "mission trees" you're just letting everyone know you're a retard that doesn't know how railroading works.

I've seen a bunch of people on the Paradox forums bitching about AI aggression on the newest beta branch. Is that a real problem? 1.0.10 looked promising so I was thinking of restarting my campaign I put on hold after 1.0.7, but if the AI is just blobbing like crazy I might wait.
War against France has been utterly anticlimactic so far, I managed to win against Bohemia (ran out of manpower towards the end but by then the warscore was ticking in my favor and I had destroyed so many of their armies they were willing to give up) and then I saw a coalition was fighting against France so I declared war on them as well the next parliament session, so far it has just been boring sieges and complete domination against their armies.>>2283698>Scripted claims/cores appeearing past certain dates? Provinces of interest?Countries should have a bias towards acquiring and consolidating power in provinces that are of their culture or that they share some historical or geographical ties with, with an overwhelmingly heavy bias towards neighboring provinces and prioritizing securing whole regions before moving on to other regions. Would fix issues with AI randomly deciding to grab a single province halfway across the continent.
>>2283708There's yuan in my crimea, there might be some issues
Hundred Years War 1400France and England have refused to fight each other for over 40 years now and are both just gobbling their way through central Europe instead
>>2283698ai desireing provinces of their culture/group, ai desireing provinces of their region, ai desireing to consolidate it's provinces, historical desires etc.
>>2283698Countries could get progressive set of objectives where they get claims on areas of interest for the given country and if they manage to capture those they get given a new set of claims for the next areas trough some kind of clicking a button when you are done with your assigned task to claim your reward system
>>2283712I wish they did this IRL
>>2283698Also, all 0 control exclaves should be immediately released as vassals.
>>2283706maybe subjects too ming is like 1000 times stronger than them
>>2283712holy fucking basedno more brother wars
>>2283718They'll need to do this eventually. Instead of stupid shit like "-100 this peace deal would leave me too fractured :(" all you need to do is to represent how cutting off a country's access to somewhere is equivalent to liberating it or conquering it yourself.
>Ally decline call to arm>Get a casus belli for that>That casus belli is shorter than the truceGeez thanks.
>>2283706nvm then, I thought you could see it for other countries as well
>>2283708Definitely way too aggressive for the time period>>2282854>>2282866>>2282888Keep in mind I used a mod that reduces AI aggressiveness in these screenshots
just add the fucking missions
so is the entire development cycle of the game just going to be the hegelian dialectic>reddit identifies real or imagined problem>devs over correct hard and make the game absolutely unplayable>scale back their "fix" by at least halfwe've already seen this with trade, decentralization, and now AI aggressiveness

HYW is genuinely improved from the 1.0.10 changes, but I'd>stop England blobbing in the low countries>stop England vassalizing landlocked French vassals>make burgundy become de-facto independent if england have been btfoing france
>>2283765BY the 1.0.10 changes, not FROM.Good God, am I becoming an ESL?
>>2283747The dynasty doesn't die out with the current settings. In fact it's a really good change and stops the endless dynasty maxing. The actual thing killing your dynasty is the fact that females can't make enough children so it's always a gamble if your dynasty continues or not. The fertility was balanced around infinite child birthing so now that it stops at 40 it means that you get like 3 on average and if those aren't males then you are screwed.
Kyiv...
>>2283765Instead of vassalizing England should make France's vassal independent, possibly with an alliance or some new situation mechanic to make them join England's wars. It would be much more historical.
>>2283662eu4 worked fine
rebellions need to be less frequent and MUCH more powerful. I hate having to deal with tiny OPM revolts with 30 guys.
>>2283725:)
Some borders should just be eternally accepted. The Portuguese-Castilian border being the principle example of this.Portugal should either be PU'd/vassalized whole or no land taken from them at all.
>>2283779But anon that's le railroad
>>2283703While I don't blame you for not keeping up with every change that was from 2 weeks ago (and the game is 1 month old), no one is talking about that update.
>declare war on Lithuania>another nation declares on Lithuania>have to wait for the other nation to peace out because they occupied some territory I wanted before I couldholy shit end your fucking war already
>>2283783That was the second change to trade, I figured they wouldn't have changed it a third time so soon.
>>2283784they should just let you attack them or be allowed send an ultimatum.
>>2283779Anon, that border was still changing just 40 years before the start date.
>>2283784Declare war on the other guy too. THUNDERDOME
>>2283788Yes, these minute border adjustments before the timeline of the game are exactly the same as Castile annexing huge tracts of land from Portugal every single game and you are clearly arguing in good faith.
>>2283786it's infuriating because Lithuania is 100% occupied so I just have to sit here and wait for their ticking warscore to go up high enough
I'm sorry, what?
Will EU5 run with the minimum requirements or do I NEED the recommended specs?Is it even worth trying to play with 16 gigs?
I like Castille deleting Shitugal every patch, I hope the devs never change it
>>2283796it will run like shit and to be honest, the game is mid
>>2283779The Historical Friend buff to opinion in EU4 was helpful for this kind of thing
>>2283793polo's revenge
>>2283796It runs pretty well even on a laptop
>>2283793>However, by the end of the 1960s, the relations significantly improved due to the fallout of the Sino-Albanian split. With Albania having denounced both Yugoslavia and China, the two countries formed a good working relationship which continued till the acrimonious breakup of Yugoslavia.[3][4] Yugoslavia maintained a robust partnership with China, especially in diplomacy and technology. In the 1980s Deng Xiaoping's foreign policy resembled Yugoslavia's stance of being non-aligned and non-confrontational, accompanied with Hu Yaobang’s 1983 appraisal of ‘Josip Tito's principles of independence and equality among all communist parties, and of opposing imperialism, colonialism, and hegemonism’.[5] The CCP would carefully watch Yugoslavia's market socialism and its disastrous collapse, using the Yugoslav model to create its own form of socialism, known as Socialism with Chinese characteristics.[6] China was firmly on Slobodan Milošević's side in the Kosovo War, which would eventually culminate in strong modern day China–Serbia relations.
>some of my colonial charters are getting +4 settlers per month due to "distance">they're right next to charters getting the normal amounts of +70
>>2283779It's fine if Castile and Portugal wind up against one another later in the game some of the time. It shouldn't be every game obviously.

>>2283823You MUST assume a uniform surname constitutionally which will have a runaway effect in some centuries
>>2283828All the Koreans were called Kim and/or Park before their birth rates collapsed.
>>2283831Doesn't surprise anyone
>>2283765There should just be weights to discourage the two from starting outside wars while the situation is ongoing. It makes no sense that between every war they both independently go off and start conquering even more.
>>2283831>biggestit isn't why lie?
>>2283594this but unironically
>>2283796CPU matters above all. If you have a good CPU (which isn't that hard), the game will run good, although you might need to use flat map.

>>2283870>>2283870Yuan implodes only a few years into the start of a new campaign and you can immediately go on the warpath carrying out TOTAL JURCHEN DEATH in your peninsula and onwards. After that (until Paradox fixes Ming doing nothing) you play the Chinese warlords against each other. With navalmaxxing and maritime presence you can project power and control all the way down China's coast.Japan gets stuck in Sengoku forever and doesn't try to invade the mainland through (you) like in real life so you get to decide when you want to invade them instead.You get ridiculously good RGOs, lots of gold, amber, tea, etc that let you export like a motherfucker. You lack horses and wild game and iron but the Jurchens right to your north just across modern-day North Korea's borders have plenty so you're motivated to expand a little without needing to gigablobYour unique reforms are OP as fuck
>>2283871>>2283876holy kekI love when generals I lurk consistently that are unrelated to eachother have dimensional merges like these
>>2283872Not just EU5. The internet of 2025 is not the internet of 2015. 2015 was already bad because it had become a zoomer playground and megasites like Reddit were consolidating all forums into themselves. 2025 is even worse because it's flooded with brown thirdworlders. The zoomer playground is now a ghetto.

>>2283887I feel like the internet will eventually get more segregated by country at some point. It doesn't feel sustainable to have thirdworlders flooding every place online. I remember seeing a chart that showed that only a few years ago the internet was really just America and Japan, then it got flooded with India, Russia, Germany, etc. I wish we could retvrn.

>>2283950It all reminds me of how people back in the 19th century had fears of letting Asian immigrants in because they didn't want to be replaced by larger numbers. Maybe it wasn't feasible for that many to migrate back then. But this is essentially playing out now on the Internet. It makes it worse because jeets love doing everything in English so their content often gets recommended to you just the same and they can easily infiltrate any site.

hmm I'm looking through korea's files to see how to change to joseon and all of korea's events are for the tag KOR with no mention of JOE which is the tag you change to when you become joseon.

Some of those have been fixed but Joseon is obscure enough that no one has complained about it yet.Something people haven't brought enough attention to is how atrocious the content design for this game is. All the situations that straight up don't work, the aforementioned tag issues, all the broken events with ridiculous requirements, those are rarely made by the core Paradox team, those guys are actual programmers working on the game, these "designers" are usually random modders they poach and oh boy are they fucking shit at their jobs, it's like half of what's wrong with the game.

the rise of the turks situation is the correct way to balance sandbox vs railroadingat the start date we're on, the ottomans only real advantage over the other beyliks was their proximity to constantinople which was a religious symbol, a nice economic boon and eventually being physically further away from the timurids, but there's literally no reason any of the other larger beyliks couldn't have risen to power and done more or less the same thing the ottomans did if the ottomans collapsed and we're conquered by another beylik in the early-mid 14th century since they would have taken the same advantagesso instead of just slamming the ottomans specifically with a bunch of advantages to make sure they always win, you have this situation that allows any of the turkish beyliks to win and follow a similar pathway
>>2284129Something has happened. Too much is happening. Be careful what you wish for...
>>2284156>"the rise of the turks shows why we don't need railroading!">"you don't need to give arbitrary buffs to make nations do things!">the rise of the turks sole function is to give the turks buffs so that they do thingsi fucking HATE sandbox niggers so fucking much
>>2284150You need to dump them with this toolhttps://github.com/crschnick/pdx_unlimiter/wiki/Coat-of-arms-tools
>>2284156The truth is a lot of the situations and flavor are pretty good. If you play enough you see a lot of signs of it. It is just that some last minute changes fuck everything over. Like Kxxv being unnaturally buffed and the Tusi being implemented without consideration to how their swarms will put down rebellions and make AI never declare on Yuan. There are a few tweaks that could be made to fix it all.
>>2284150https://eu5.paradoxwikis.com/index.php?title=Category:Alternative_flags
>>2284158The wrong things are happening.I want the Timurids to conquer all the Il-khanate remnants.I want the Ottomans to blob to Hungary.I want the Golden horde to collapse.I want Muscovy to form Russia and reach Vladivostok.I want Yuan to collapse and be replaced by a unified Han China.
Optimization for EU5 when?
>>2284162Keith isn't even buffed, they just don't have any of the real problems they had.They should start with a lot of devastation and war exhaustion from being raped by Mongols.
>>2284160>"the rise of the turks shows why we don't need railroading!"how did you glean this from my statement you fucking retard, i said it's how the railroading is implemented is what matters, not that we don't need it
>>2284169>>2284156>instead of just slamming the ottomans specifically with a bunch of advantagesAll of the Turks are slammed with advantages. The rise of the Turks is one of the better functioning parts of the game and it's precisely because it's railroaded. The other functional part is the fall of Delhi, again, because of railroading.
>>2284167For GPU terrain and unit related issues yes. It's probably unfeasible to efficiently optimize CPU usage further. There's too many things to process altogether. CK3 also on Jomini had an optimization pass recently where they could only produce more consistent performance instead of better.
>>2284177EU5 terrain is so fucking horrible.It runs worse than every other paradox game yet also looks worse than every other paradox game.Terrain is the one thing Victoria 3 gets right.
trying poortugal out on this new save so i can mostly be an observer, is it worth doing any exploration prior to the age of discovery or should i just be building up a big economic base first and then going at it?
>>2284183grab azores and canary islands
They need to remove the restriction on building older tier buildings. Maybe a stockade is all I need?
>>2284183Big economic base, 100%.I wouldn't even bother trying to build buildings though. Portugal gets some hurricane events or some shit that just wipe out your most profitable ones. You're better off spamming RGO.Remember, RGO are NEVER unprofitable. True, they might not make much profit (especially shit like fish) but if you build them today they'll pay for themselves in a few years, and passive income is better than money in the bank.
>>2284185I agree it's retarded, but they're worded as such that you wouldn't build them in later ages.You wouldn't erect a medieval castle in the age of reformation. You wouldn't build guilds in the age of revolutions.
>>2284184i figured that would probably be worth it, i'm also trying and miserably failing to steal maps off of africans>>2284187yeah, i realized in my last save that early buildings are terrible outside of maybe tools guilds or stuff with high production efficiency. i've noticed lisbon's province has essentially zero production efficiency since it's a small ass province with only food nodes + salt and i don't believe production efficiency does anything on buildings with no good output
>>2284149>t. upset twegger
centralisation really should just increase cost of court / stability spending rather than making vassals disloyal. a big central administration should cost more than delegating to locals and would have more difficulty keeping the population stable.
>>2284193Why would the centralization of the country matter to your vassals though?Diploannexation should be based on your centralization slider thenYet another concept that should have been thought out during the dev process, not have random fucking changes/additions after the fact
Is tax collected by location or as one overall sum of the estates' wealth?
>>2284196They really fucked up by acting like the values should be a binary and that having one clearly superior option isn't possible.Most of the events in the game are geared around centralization being good and decentralization being bad, as it should be. But now they made decentralization better you just take the "bad" option and get the good value.
>>2284197The latter, that's what the sliders do.
>>2284199No, but I mean if I have a province with 0 control who gets the money? Surely it doesn't just disappear?
Why does EU5 need a RTX 3060? It doesn't look like it needs it.

Found a trick to defeating the pale as tribal Ireland, turns out it's friendship.And by friendship I mean improve relations with them until they accept your request to become a tributary, because if you are their tributary you can safely attack them without England butting in for some reason. You can even attack England's other vassals.Being tribal does mean you have no access to the sergeantry however, so you need to rush the army morale + peasant levy + gallowglass infantry techs.
>>2284240>the irish would have been fine if they just accepted the english bootjohan i kneel
remember that due to johan's retardation, age 6 levies have the same effective combat strength as age 1 levies when fighting each other. that means 1000 conscripts with bayonetted rifles would lose to 1000 feudal yeomen levies if theres any disadvantage in rolls or morale/discipline modifiers in an open plain
>>2284193I think this change would make a lot of sense. That plus size of the country factoring would incentivize a balance for huge countries that generally federalized.>>2284196It makes sense if you think of vassals in the CK2 sense: they are guys handling things within the framework of your state with a lot of autonomy—but they’re not just separate states that happen to be under the thumb of your state. It’s why your vassals are called earls or dukes when you create them as the King of England and not kings. It’s also why vassal using overlord name and color are objectively the correct settings. Centralizing would mean your vassals are less free to do what they want, and they would naturally be upset at their rights being eroded. However, something tangible also needs to reflect how their autonomy is being eroded. At certain levels of centralization, they should lose the ability to do things like declare war on their own, have certain interactions with you, give you a larger share of their taxes, etc. Then the flip side of decentralization, they stay loyal and happy and give you more levies plus all the other advantages of vassal spamming early game.
>>2284240and making a billion vassals of course as is meta>>2284242kek
>You can just switch your court language to Latin>It's powerful so it gives +5% noble estate Satisfaction>It gives you a new Law policy that gives 2.5% Noble or Peasant estate satisfactionEpic, no point not to do this.
>>2284246>It’s also why vassal using overlord name and color are objectively the correct settingsBut then Brazil will be called Portugal instead of Jaguaribe.

>>2284248also gives you a cool name
>>2284254Is this why England became Anglia in my run?
>>2284257yes>england becomes anglia>scotland becomes scotia>wales becomes cambria>GB becomes britannia>spain becomes hispanianot sure why its mostly british countries
>>2284235seriously what the fuck is causing this? 10% of every single levy just seemingly abandoning every month. it's not attrition, it's not morale or food, what the fuck is it.
>>2284252Mali has a really weird start.>2.2k in the bank and positive (though small) income>Practically zero development outside your starting city and town>No roads>No barracks or sergeantry so no rushing your tribal neighbors>Mansa Musa dies at the end of the first month and his heir is kind of mid>Despite your wealth your starting market lacks capacity and you don't really have a lot of trade partners other than your vassalsPersonally I don't think it adds up that they start with so much money despite having next to nothing. The gold doesn't even matter if you can't sell it.
What are other hypothetical values scales that could be added?
Reposting this:So how is this compared to 4?I skipped 4 but it looked like it did a lot of interesting stuff within your own empire.Eu3 is pretty much just making sure you can keep declaring war to tick down infamy so you keep getting more land.But it would be nice to do things at home that have meaning.
>>2284272eu5 has way more to do in peacetime.
>>2284262Cambria would make for such a cool run
>>2284272Ironically the recent changes to the AI are making it more of a blobber than before.It still has all the mechanics it had on release, but now your playstyle in the early game is heavily focused on establishing a power base so that the AI won't no cb you and fuck up your tall play.It used to be like Victoria 3, now it's like CK3 just before the Mongols arrive.
>>2284240what can you do after that? form ireland?
>>2284279Every anti-colonizer game inevitably becomes a colonizer game.
>>2284279form ireland then form gb or celtica
okay, note to myself: maintaining galleons even on patrol missions during the war is fucking expensive
>>2284263oh apparently it's fucking malaria despite the game giving you zero indication of any of this. i know malaria is endemic to all of africa, but it shouldn't be so severe on the coast of morocco, jesus christ. im never crossing the strait again.
>>2284272Also im watching Legend play this right now and something popped into my head.I know you can make loads of vassals and then make them enforce your culture but something id like to see is deeper systems for those types of things. Like if they aren't making the progress you want you can push them harder, maybe demand more taxes, maybe threatening military action, maybe trade sanctions or some such.I think that would be neat. Not just for culture but religion and whatever else too, basically letting you be a tyrant. Of course they can revel if you push too hard...
>>2284234Honestly I dont even find EU5's borders gory most of the time. The province density means I can rationalise random 1-tile exclaves as trade ports or weird feudal holdovers. irl premodern borders were not clean.I did see Poland take the southern quarter of anatolia in a recent game though, thats straight out of eu3.
>>2284285bro the tiny disease icon?
>>2284288justify >>2283656
>>2284289yeah i just saw that as i posted it too. how the fuck did the romans do anything in africa, i was always under the assumption that malaria was fairly minimal north of the sahara
>>2284272It basically discards the railroaded and boardgamey direction for a simulationist approach with mostly good but flawed results. It will need to be finetuned over many years but has an infinitely stronger foundation with potential.
>>2284292they didn't really, did they? they mostly stayed to the northern part
>>2284223It wouldn't be so bad if AI was more hesitant about exclavesThe bordergore is ass cancer
>>2284292it's johan's solution to prevent Europeans from blobbing into northern africa
>>2284264It's literally just>Random African country with no thought put into it 1>Random African country with no thought put into it 2>Random Afri- oh wait this is the one with that rich guy right? Yeah, Mansa Musa. We'll give them extra starting cash>Random African country with no thought put into it 4
>>2284272EU5 is like an unholy mixture of Vicky 2 and Imperator with some EU3 callbacks (centers of trade, national values)It's very different than EU4 (and that's a good thing)
>>2284264And they still put Mansa Musa above Frederick the Great and Peter the Great on the score list.
>>2284264They had to give niggers a "good" country but since there are Mansa Musa is a wakanda fairytale they couldn't add any development or markets or buildings or roads or technology
>>2284305paradox made like 7 generic town and city setups and sprinkled the entire map with them so now every town has the same buildings
kyiv and mali are quite similar in this game
>>2284305>oh wait this is the one with that rich guy right? Yeah, Mansa Musa. We'll give them extra starting cashYeah, it's like they forgot that Mali should have trading infrastructure with the rest of the Islamic world. You can build Caravan stops that give +1 market cap each, but it still baffles me that you have to build literally all of them.Paradox isn't afraid of letting players jump into a nation that's at war from day one, but starting with trade infrastructure? No way.
>>2284104updateindia keeps suiciding 15k levies stacks in to artillery every week
>>2284309It's because Musa wasn't gay.
>>2284318fleet maintenance during the war is pain
>>2284319Prove it. Niggas are well known to get zesty.
>>2284317Yeah, every nation seems to suffer from the world starting on April the 1st 1337. The huge English wool trade that was the cornerstone of their medieval economy? Level 1 wool RGOs. The huge textile plants of Flanders that used this wool trade? One building. The burgeoning Italian paper trade representing their complete monopoly on the good in 14th century Italy? Doesn't exist.It makes sense from a game perspective. Nobody wants to play a country that's already built up. But some starting monopolies could really add to the immersion.
>>2284304>malaria in 2000 is the same as malaria in 1400armies getting wiped out to supply issues and disease is literally how napoopean lost in 1812

>>2284330EU5 at it's worst is better than every other paradox game at their best.

>>2284324>It makes sense from a game perspective. Nobody wants to play a country that's already built upYeah, I'm not asking to start with a country that's maxed out and optimized from the start but with quite a few starts I don't feel like I'm playing a (supposed) major player.Going back to Mali, you have to spend most of that starting gold to build up your RGO's and markets. I learned to play the game playing Naples and it turns out that I was taking the amount of locations and floating resources all the marketplaces Naples started with for granted. I had to crank down automation and reshuffle my economy to get my development out of a stalled state; I didn't have bricks or glass.Which gets me back to the point:>Nigga has a quarter of the world's wealth or some shit>Somehow can't buy bricks; not because he can't afford them, but because he can't arrange anybody to cart them from the kiln to the build siteIt doesn't logically make sense to me.
>>2284331This, the game came out and instantly made pretty much the rest of the genre redundant. There is no point in complaining in the way many do, as it isn't like there is a better alternative.
>>2284331You're not wrong. I think about possibly playing CK or Stellaris and now can't justify it. I wonder if this will have a runaway longterm effect on their other games.
I HEART BLOBBING
>>2284344This is probably why they are playing into roleplay for Crusader Kings, schizophrenia for Hearts of Iron, and transgenderism for Victoria. They are diversifying their other games so they won't die and can appeal to other crowds. It is kind of sad though, I wish we lived in a world where all the games were built like this. Especially Victoria, as that time period is very interesting.

>>2284346Vicky is just dead. It never really got off the ground. HoI4 playerbase is literally 10 times larger, 50,000 to 5,000. A lot of that is schizos and zoomers of course but still.V3 was such a spit in the face to everything Victoria was supposed to be about. I'm not even talking about the toy soldiers, the whole economy system without stockpiles, actual tangible goods, or a world market system was a complete joke. Then they made the whole thing weirdly obsessed with being a non-racist version of the Victorian era. Mass Indian migrations to America in the 1830s, out of place multi-racial loading screens, even stopping cultures being depicted on a per province basis so you couldn't culture paint the map anymore.If you bring any of this up with their "playerbase" they hit back with "well what's wrong with the loading screen showing a black kid chasing a white kid while their parents look on approvingly" The problem is it isn't an accurate depiction of the period. Same problem period movies have now. They seem to think DEPICTING something is always endorsing it. There's zero nuance. So every loading screen has to be something they approve of happening, even if the whole point is that wouldn't be happening and you should disagree with that. So we get muti-racial French commune and suffragettes even though there were almost no black people in Paris at the time (and the few who were wouldn't have drawn attention to themselves), and the suffragettes were notoriously racist. One of their main arguments and the reason they appeared when and where they did is because American white women didn't appreciate having less of a say in politics than newly emancipated black slaves.As much as they say it isn't it's always going to be immersion breaking to see this sort of stuff in media. It's doubly strange because they all live in a fantasy multi-racial utopia right up until the point they need to actually address the racism of the era. Then suddenly it existed after all.

It isn't entirely clear what it is supposed to be depicting either.

We're actually already all playing EU7. Released in 3029, players collectively braindive into a simulation of the world from 37 to 2337. Through numerous simulated lives, we shape the timeline in multiplayer. Currently we're in Age XIV - Age of Digitization.

>>2284396just do hamstring stretches bro
>>2284396It's a launch bug. They'll probably patch it out in the next decacycle. They even added an easter egg where we're beta testing EU5 in the braindive, a reference to how we're beta testing EU7.
>>2284385That is the closest I could assume that it is depicting. It does have WW1 technology present. It still looks like a ridiculous cartoon though. Depicting WW1 when it isn't properly featured in game at all is also more annoying than anything.

>>2284592i feel like they dont know exactly what they want the game to be, or maybe have an internal conflict in the company. You can do some sandboxy stuff, but then they put hard restrictions to make you only play in the intended (historical or whatever) way.
>>2284599like changing religion is this game is even easier than in ck3, which is a full sandbox
>>2284599This reminds me of how it sort of feels like what regions and groups get content pretty much depends on if someone at Paradox is hyper fixated on it.

i actually want to play as a sop, there isnt a lot of choice for shitholes in the game, but there are a lot of sops
>still no war exhaustion fix>still no warscore fix>still no warscore cost fixhow is this not in the betaits utterly inexplicable
>>2284632maori sop that sees australia at the start so that they could make ship supplies for expeditions (or better yet an alternative way of discovering that is supposed to be in the game already).
>>2284611Because it lacks any strategic goals, claims and objectives. Muscovy "doesn't know" that it should kill Novgorod and Smolensk to form Russia, it just sees them as reasonably powerful Orthodox countries so it allies them and then together they exterminate all the small powers of the region. After that they are the only powers left in the region and along with who ever is in the alliance no individual country could possibly do anything since if they break off from the hugbox, the hugbox simply destroys them first. Not that there is any way AI would break off alliance in the first place, alliance means that there's next to no antagonism and good relations so without player action or a 3rd party breaking the alliance in a peace deal alliances tend to last forever. Alliance blocks cement like this as time goes on due to them killing off the small powers and with diplocapacity going up in time due to techs which weaves blocks together too.>>2284617Intern can shit these out very fast and a content manager gets to say that they have 40 pieces of unique content so everyone except the player wins. Lot of quirks like this just correspond with particular obsessions of the intern that was in charge of developing a given region or a system.

They had a 100/95/100 gigachad Anjou king but I noticed his heir was a babby, so I actually used the assassinate spy action after the war was over and my larp is that he died in battle like the Crusade of Varna (gave me -50 dip rep for fifty years but that's just a number)Anyway that put them in a regency... little did I know there's an event that can spawn Janos Hunyadi, Hungary even gets a unique COA on its flag when the Hunyadis are ruling. How many people have even seen this shit? He married a Habsburg completely by chance too. This guy rules them now, Maximillian Hunyadi
>>2284656>little did I know there's an event that can spawn Janos Hunyadi, Hungary even gets a unique COA on its flag when the Hunyadis are ruling. How many people have even seen this shit?

I need to finally give Hungary a try next run I think.Regarding the poland-hungary PU, ya I think there is an even that makes it if either of them has a ruler die without an heir than the PU forms, or something like that
>>2284656>afaik it's historical anywaythats pretty much what happened, in 1360~ kiev became a vassal of lithuania

>>2284665>finally put down the k**van menace once and for all>in their place rises an even stronger and even more anti-russian entityits not fairhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyDyOweu-PA
>>2284307This all sounds good to me.I'm looking forward to see how they can build on this.The funny part is, blobbing would be more loreful if they added genocide options.Like you don't have to kill everyone but if you take a province you should be like "ok, fuck off to the country I took this from".And of course you do your rebel and control and stability and core things but the 50 years until core that eu3 did was just an abstraction of that anyway.And now that this game has pops you can do a LOT with displaced people.What if you conquer all of France? What happens to French people?Sure if you take a province here or there it's no big deal but what if you say none of them can stay? Convert or die? Real life has that. It still has that. I want that in this game.
>havn't played outside Europe yet for eu5>decide to play on 1.10 and try out Ethiopia who should be perfect for a ultra decentralized run>spend 50 years stabilizing Ethiopia, getting new vassals and fixing all the nonstop issues (e.g. non-existent economy, wrong religions in core regions, nobility with their garbage privileges, vassal issues, inflation issues, 10 billion slaves from wars tanking satisfaction in capital, etc.)>get raped first by Yemen than by Alodia both with armies a billion my size>lose large amounts of land as well as go in significant debt and barely survive only for stack of vassals to go disloyal >by the time I'm making a comeback, I get declared on by Mamluks who somehow has all institutions even the Meritocracy one completed somehow (?)Alright, fuck this. I'm not playing any non-europe country again.
>>2284668The problem with that is that it's mostly not historical for this time period.Better suited to a total conversion mod.
>>2284656I never played east europe in any of these games. In eu3 they're just technologically backwards for no benefit.I should give it a try. A big jagellonian (or however you spell it) empire of Hungary, Lithuania, and Poland and friends sounds awesome.A traditionalist empire to hold back the hordes.
>>2284671honestly sounds like a skill issuemaybe stick to great powers champ?
>opm delhi with 30 levies to his name has 30m people in vassals who will never ever declarehow have they not even attempted a fix for this in the beta? do they actually not have people designing this game? is it just johan and 3 soibois in his basement?
>>2284674At that point you may as well include Russia and blob all the way from the Adriatic to the Pacific.Reminds me I've got to do another Muscovy game now inland exploration is fixed.
>>2284675Ethiopia is already a great power
>>2284675I've played England>UK, Florence>Italy and Holland>Netherlands so far. None of them was even half as bad as trying to play Ethiopia even when they had scripted unique disasters. I can't tell if its the new patch making shit way harder or if its just because non-europe countries fucking suck.
>>2284677because this game was clearly rushed to release to try and recoup losses from all of paradox's failed games in the past year

>>2284691the only time in 350 hours ive had a food issue is siberian shitholes during little ice agewaste of money/building slot/building time/workforceif neither of the above 4 constrain you in any way, go ahead
>>2284691Stacking these in your 15+ Wheat RGO province with farmlands terrain turns it into a breadbasket for your nation. Increasing pop capacity does increase pop growth by changing the "available free land" but its better for boosting food production.
AIEEEE HOHOLBROS DON'T LOOK>lose thousands of peasants and soldiers from troops dying in war>take 10x their number in slaves>build janny barracks to turn them back into more troopsIt's that easy
>>2284691More food = more people = more paypigs for your tax collectors
I just want a bug free game so I can play with mods that make it actually challenging
>>2284691Generally no, but if you still need more food after you have maxed out every RGO you own then you can start irrigating the most productive provinces. Increasing pop cap does increase growth but it will never pay off the workers needed for the irrigation, only build irrigation if you believe the food modifier is worth it specifically.>>2284700You don't tax people in this game.
>>2284595Although the wargoal technically allows you to enforce the claim on the throne as it's the basis of the CB, you can't do that no matter what. Even if the warscore was below 100%, there's a special condition on the CB that you have to own or have a vassal own at least 15% of the land in the French region, which precludes being able to do it immediately.This is kinda shittily telegraphed, but as >>2284596 said this is by design. If you didn't take more land on the continent and weaken the French they would become the senior partner in any prospective union, so it's beneficial for England, AI or otherwise, to use the war's province warscore cost reduction to cut the French down to size a bit more before actually going in for the claim. I spent the first war taking over their forts around the northern salient and annexing a lot of the south to Aquitaine, then a second war vassalizing Brittany as a Dominion. Third war can go for the throne but it's probably better to cut the French down even more by annexing some land to Brittany and maybe taking Flanders for yourself, and then claiming their throne on the fourth war.
How do I force these FUCKING retards to attach to me? They're milling around waiting to get stack wiped like the dumb niggers they are

Muscovy "doesn't know" that it should kill Novgorod and Smolensk to form Russia, it just sees them as reasonably powerful Orthodox countries so it allies them and then together they exterminate all the small powers of the region.This is largely because provinces of interest aren't a thing in the game
>>2284714Especially since EU4 total conversion mods (especially you, Anbennar) are notorious for requirements like "put a horse unit on a dozen different provinces, enact specific estate privileges" etc
>>2284716Yes there's no such thing as claims in the game so AI is directionless.

>>2284732My PC runs MEIOU 4 slower than EU5, I dread to think what MEIOU 5 would run like
>>2283738>It's me, Cao Cao
>>2284736>Cao Cao's spirit revives into a english king in the 1400s
>>2284732For what purpose? EUV is already bloated enough.
>>2284734You're thinking of Lorraine. Lotharingia is a kingdom.
>>2284735>>2284742The simulation must evolve
>>2284743Oh right
>>2284735MEIOU EU V runs by printing out a bunch of data that you mail to the mod team. Once your monthly tick has been processed by them they mail you back a series of codes you need to input to tick your game accordingly
Just loaded my Livonian Order save. They made it so if you form Livonia you're now the Baltic Order instead of staying the Livonian Order with Livonia's flag like on previous versions of the game. But you also have Livonia(the order) as a formable that you can't access because its a tier 1. I don't know why they did this.
>>2284735Probably better considering it's the new engine + vanilla EUV already some features from itWhat I dread to think of is what horrors heavy modding will discover, considering the state of the release
>Spain is at -200 opinion after I took a few provinces from them>I still got a load of favors from them>They still cough up the money when I ask them to16k ducats immediately blown into more RGOs
>>2284754>keep France at 200+ relations>declare war on them while they're fighting a coalition>take 5-6 provinces and wait a parliament cycle to declare war again>-20 stability penalty for great relations>despite a few years of war and taking huge chunks of land from them with 110~ antagonism received their relations only dropped from 200 to 120not sure if this is good or bad
>2to1 coalition has -50warscrore from 36 battles against Bohemia
>>2284748You laugh but EU4 MEIOU actually had out-of-game scripts that simulated some ticks before the start date to get the starting setup properly in place.
>>2284758I wish battles would give more warscore in the later periods, it's crazy how you can wipe 15,000 out of their 50,000 levies and only get 1.5% warscore for it, turning every war into a war of attrition over who can outsiege the other and wait for ticking warscore.
>>2284761MEIOU was revolutionary and you better show it some respect, boy. Noname randos created EU5 for free and it was so good that Johan himself decided to hire them and steal their shit
>>2284764yep, but some mongs thought that the napoleonic wars were decided by nothing but sieges and occupations rather than massive decisive battlesbattle of austerlitz, whats that?
>>2284764warscore is wad but hopefully they will reconsider itwar exhaustion is basically non-existant, thats the bigger issue rn
>gets invade my france>"heh, tough luck france but I've allied both castile and bohemia">castile and bohema doesn't enter the war with me>take a look at them>"annulled treaties with burgundy"a pop-up would have been nice
Which build for starting a new game? 1.0.10 or 1.0.9?
>>22847721.0.10 with every mod you can get.
>>22847721.0.10 has unhinged ai
>>2284769>>2284770The AI in Paradox games have always had a wack calculation for its war capacity, it treats every war as a total war of annihilation and won't listen to any reason up until you reach a tipping point where it suddenly considers peace an option and then it will let you take half of the country because it has exhausted itself over a conflict that should've just resulted in a"fine, you took the province capital and won 1-2 decisive battles, take the wargoal province and nothing else" treaty.
>>2284775I like the idea of a "war escalation" mechanic, where on one end its a simple border conflict, on the other is a total war, but idk how something like that could be implemented
>>2284602I guess if you called them nationalists some people would get mad. I'm surprised it's not "separatists" when there's a modifier to describe "separatism in region" and they're trying to go independent from you
Am I missing anything, /vst/?
How do i marry off all my heirs as Ottomans? Do i marry them to nobles or lowborns? What about the women i have?
>>2284776They could go for a hybrid route of EU's open treaty mechanics and V2s narrow treaties that can only enforce specific wargoals. A conflict escalates the more wargoals are added, but you'd need a smart AI that doesn't automatically add nonsensical wargoals just because it can. There should be both large scale and small scale conflicts desu.
certified vgh moment
>be me>be king of Great Britain, Poland, Sweden and Norway>lower GP score than fucking MalixDDDD
>Country select>Country has 100 unique pieces of content>Nice>50/100 is historical artists and priests for 800000 ducats>Oh yeah a pretty famous book was published in 1400 there, do you want to pay for it ingame with three months of your GDP
>>2284780Historically they just killed each other.
>>2284781>>2284776people have been asking for this for 15 years>smart AIat this point i'd just like anyone to point me to something that's anywhere close to what would be required, instead of expecting paradox to casually outdo a trillion dollar industry.
>>2284785haha time to genocide the ir*sh
>>2284780I've been marrying them to nobles first since the marriage privilege makes it free. But you will never have quite enough for this, remember to marry your daughters to nobles too so more nobles get born.Extra daughters can also be royal married which can cause your dynasty to show up in other countries sometimes, not sure how it works. Try to marry them to heirs or rulers but make sure they don't already have a spouse.And don't worry, you'll have plenty of extra daughters. 50/50 odds btw.
>>2284790I would be happy with some system that gauges proportionality and prevents the "TOTAL WAR, NO FUCKING SURR-oh sorry ;_; please rape me in a peace treaty" personality that's so prevalent in an AI. It could be as simple as having some flag that determines what scale a conflict is on, and if it is a relatively small one then they will quickly settle for a small peace.
>>2284790>what would be requiredCompetent devs and not reusing the same trash ai forever
>>2284790Every few years strategy vidya players see a new release and their expectations for AI immediately take off from realistic to "oh and it should be able to handle this, and that, and to adapt to these situations, and..." then it takes half a decade of "holy shit nvm how did we all forget AI is braindead retarded" to reassert itself.Right now we're stuck on the high end of this cycle so you have Johan psyoping himself into thinking his dogshit AI can handle historical larp with only the lightest handholding. Refusing to concede so early on, the patch notes and devposts are all focusing on giving the AI the right "incentives" as if Castile raping Portugal at every opportunity can be fixed by rebalancing the border antagonism numbers for the 4th time. And all the forumtards and ledditoids are on the optimism wagon too so they're cheering the devs on as they waste time chasing the pipe dream of a strategy game AI that will spontaneously figure out how to play a national role.I'd say it needs to be end of 2026 at the absolute earliest before enough normies and devs wake up that we stop seeing them trying huge pendulum swings between "nothing ever happens ever" and "nonstop aggressive chimp wars" by tweaking AI numbers. Mid 2027 for the event that outright gives Poland and Lithuania their union.
Why is there no option to swap province names to their English versions.>owners culture >based on pops (basically the same as the first)>untranslated (most of the names are absolutely garbage so definitely won't use this one)
>>2284799Paradox was always atrocious with their AI, stellaris had multiple patches where the AI barely worked. CK3 had next to no improvments in 5 years. They're maybe going to tack in some stupid modifier to "fix AI" that will just break few patches down the line.
>>2284800Some provinces get their names changed depending on the owner's culture but only after cultural assimilation. Bohemia for example can get Germanized.The real reason is Paradox half assing a lot of things. For example only half of Hungary's cities have German names if you assimilate them as Austria and the other half keep their Hungarian names. Continuing a trend from HOI4 where the devs announced adding dynamic location names that change based on controlling country, but never fully implemented for most locations and tags and seem to have forgotten about it now
>>2284801>Paradox was always atrocious with their AI, stellaris had multiple patches where the AI barely worked. CK3 had next to no improvments in 5 years. Nah dude THIS time it will work! Devs just need to fuck with antagonism penalties and cultural affinity opinion modifiers again and THIS time AI Castile(a larger, stronger country) will definitely stop eating Portugal(a smaller, weaker country).>They're maybe going to tack in some stupid modifier to "fix AI" that will just break few patches down the line.They're already doing that, they saw all the "nothing ever happens" complaints so for 1.0.10 they overtuned AI aggression modifier. It's a breath of fresh air for now but in a week or three people will realize England spamming up exclaves all over the continent and random OPMs declaring suicidal wars on you constantly is also stupid.
>>2284799I suspect what will actually happen is that by 2nd DLC latest they will add missions back in and then because of the "great reception" they will "refocus" on this>>2284803I don't mind that they don't have literally all provinces flip between Bugandan and Muscovite depending on who controls them. I mind that there's no one legible language (English) that acts as the base from where the provinces then get modified names. If we want to nitpick there should be a full translation of all the place names for all the game languages in modern writing that would be the 4th language selection option (game language) but even just having the English would be good start. The language options should beOwners cultureBased on pops Native (only for uncolonized)Game language
I love the Hungarian Black ArmyI think they're pretty neat.
i think the only reason cultural assimilation is so fast is because culture is tied to cores and cores are tied to whether the province functions at all
>Anime girl mods out alreadyWhy didn't any of you faggots tell me the game is finally playable
>>2284810>made by chinksit isnt
personally i think its kinda weird that castille didnt also eat portugalwell they did one time i guess but the portuguese managed to slip out of it somehow
>>2284814they tried a dozen times but at a certain point with all the costly failures and shitty terrain, they wrote it off permanently.
Is the AI a little less retarded since the last update?
>Cant get neat modern french hexagon borders>Cant get "natural borders of france">Cant get nice ostpreuBen borders>Cant get nice Austrian Galicia borders>Cant get nice United Provinces borders>Cant get niceWhat nigger designed the province map??
>>2284816In the beta branch, it is a lot more aggressive, but this doesn't mean it's more intelligent, it just takes land it should have no interest in.
>>2284816Before update: retard that sits around and droolsAfter update: retard that screeches and flings shit
>>2284816AI in 1.0.10 will chimp out more so the map is more dynamic. The chimpouts are still illogical and AI spams exclaves everywhere during peace deals making the map look somehow even more diseased.
>>2284817Having modern borders in this game doesn't make much sense anyways
I can't stop making border gore with my vassals
>>2284823No but you can't get neat premodern borders too. Eastern europe is an abomination not just in gameplay. Also it has been decades, Paradox should know their players well enough by now to design their maps to allow pleasant mappainting aesthetics
All my locations are rural, place your bets on how many millions will die
>>2284779That mod that makes the AI stop spamming cities everywhere.
>>2284668>What if you conquer all of France? What happens to French people?>Sure if you take a province here or there it's no big deal but what if you say none of them can stay? Convert or die? Real life has that. It still has that. I want that in this game.Conquering France in the time period of this game the Western equivalent of conquering China. You don't kick the French out, you become French
what are you supposed to do with literally tens of thousands of slaves as an african nation?
>>2284832sell them
>>2284814a battle like this could never happen in EUVhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Aljubarrota
>>2284837is there a way to just turn them into peasants instead
>>2284842In a mountain, it could.
>>2284380>>All army clashes send you into a total war style battleMy favorite part of EU is it not having shitty RTS battles.
>>2284842>200 english longbowmenHappens all the time
>>2284845No, the French knights would still rape the Portuguese even with the mountain penalties
working as intended
>>2284842>>2284847also didn't help the french knights charged ahead straight into prepared and dug in infantry and were cut down before the castillian army could reach them
I fucking love these +10% RGO size techs
>>2284853and the castilians didn't even try to help them since they thought they were arrogant glory hogs
>>2284842Is there any game on the market that could simulate it?
>>2284858mount and blade bannerlord
>>2284853>french knights charged ahead straight into prepared and dug in infantrywell imagine my shock
>>2284856I don't see anything to imply the Castilians were being tardy to help the french besides the quote one a french guy
>>2284854This is when the game dies for me.when I spam mass build RGOs and still got 1000s of gold left every month
>>2284854Nice byzzie birders though, glad you cleaned up the latins in greece
why is Burgundy of all nations attacking the Ottomans?
>>2284868None expects the burgundian crusade
>>2284842>have a historic battle you lose in a very specific way>ignore it and do it again>watch the guys fail miserably>do it againWhat was the fucking plan here?
>>2284869>Nobody expected the french to go on a crusade
Somewhere in age of reformation you kinda just win the game and everything else is watching number go up while nothing happens.
>>2284861Well that's how you deal with elite overproduction.
>>2284871You are not going to tell a bunch of highly independent glory hounding knights how to enter battle or wait and let the infantry steal the glory. So finding the first weakest spot and concentrating your might there is the best you can doThe poles had the same problem which workedhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kircholmtill the swedes learnt how to do volley fire, then it didn'thttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Warsaw_(1656)
>>2284880every paradox game is like this
>>2284883I mean, I get french going full retarded, but you litterly just saw them die horribly and decided to do the exact same thing
>>2284880this is true for every paradox game in singleplayer where players don't keep each other in check
why did they have to fuck up the mercenary formula (in 4 and keep it in 5)rounding up some guys and integrating them into normal armies was how they did in real life, not hire a whole army you couldn't ship anywhere because all the guys demand to travel in the same fleet and you lack enough ships
Anyone managed to make a jewish state yet?
>>2284888>game should be made less realistic because I refuse to build cheap transports???
>>2284891it is not realistic though
>>2284890You know what, I will get home and make a homeland for the G-d's chosen people.
>>2284880yeah getting paved roads, printing/paper workshops and mining/RGO techs from the age of discovery is a huge power spike for your economywhen you get to the age of reformation and start getting all the other level 2 workshops you just have so much money you can have an insane army and navy and never lose battles
Full naval or full land?
How do you motivate yourself to continue playing when there is literally nothing the AI can do anymore? When you're big enough, great power #1 and multiple hegemons... it feels like there's no point anymore
>>2284899Self imposed challenges.
just RP instead of being a meta slave>purposefully trigger an economic crisis>piss off estates>civil war>release colony and LARP as an exiled monarch
>>2284896depends on country
>>2284899reptain brain happy when my colour on map grows larger
>>2284899go mega blobber napoleon mode and fight massive coalitions
>>2284899Number go up = happy chemicals release
>>2284896Naval is usually stronger unless you are obviously a land country with little to no coast like Russia, Hungary, Bohemia etc.
>>2284914The AI is a utter joke in war and it's mostly busy work of shuffling things around the map slowly
>>2284920>take 5-6 regions from france in a landslide war that's mostly just slowly sieging shit while my doomstack annihilates any army that comes close to my siege stacks>set up 4-6 vassals>wait for them to integrate the areas for me>diploannex>repeatThis is what my game looks like now, before France it was German minors and after France it'll probably be Bohemia if the game isn't over by then. There is a slight chance that I'm not actually having fun and all of this is just constantly pausing and shuffling through menus...
>>2284656>there is a mod that goes much further but I haven't tried itIt changes hohol RGO's from amber and coal to more shitty ones, also buffing GH by changing their primary culture to astrakhani + giving them 2700 professional cavalry at the start but they end up in a perpetual debt spiral
>>2284656amazingis there any way to settle this waste land when conquered?
>>2284938y-you can't say that in the current year
Finally this piece of shit region is playable
>>2284965you need to go liberate all that iron in to your east
>>2284895>getting paved roads, printing/paper workshops and mining/RGO techs from the age of discovery is a huge power spike for your economyI'm playing historical institution spawns, the age just changed to Reformation and nobody outside Germany has Pike and Shot or the Printing Press yet. And that's a good thing
the ai seems completely incapable of trading for institutions
>>2284970definitely. in one of my brandenburg runes it's almost 1600 and pike and shot is still only in the alps. fuck innsbruck.
Ayo
>>2284970AI only trades for profit, I don't think it trades for institutions or pop needs at all except by accident.
>>2284965update or mod?
>>2284965Starving for minerals as Muscovy for 200 years then finally reaching the urals and setting up a colonial market to make 500 bazillion ducats a month is kino
game is retarded, you can't just put random ass lines on top of english letters to make them exotic, like wow guys look it's some mayan word with funny lines on top

They did it, they made the Balkanbowl fun.
>check out Spain because they're actually conquering Aragon for once, cool>wait what the fuck, their ruler is a Bruce>oh they have a union with Scotland>wait the union also includes England what the fuck>oh and she's an old lady>I wonder who the king-consort is (clueless)how the actual FUCK does all this happen>mfw christoids dont have a harem so their dynasties just fucking die and cause this insane shitIt seems the English got a Yoruba woman in their court, maybe an explorer married her in that one event, and this fine gentleman of al-zutt was their son and became a courtierOh right, and the heir of the Hispano-British union is a completely white guy of a totally different Czech dynasty from Silesia, his father died 5 months ago and I guess his mom immediately remarried with a random african englishman at the age of 59
best capital for unified Balkans?or just go with Constantinople for LARP purposes?
>>2284990It's all garbage mountains fucking up proximity, either buda or constantinople and fully naval.
>>2284987The first lines of the description basically summarize why it's a bad mod.
>>2284989Its the black prince duh
>>2284989What's your problem? I only see a 100% Briton here
>>2284989at least he's protestant
>>2284993vanilla rgos are just pure garbage and I have no idea why people defend it. There's more iron in japan than in russia. The whole mainland USA is utterly worthless.
>>2284990I want to say Skopje because the river gives nice proximity buffs, but I could be wrong.
>>2284990Depends if you want to go land or sea. Danube is OP, wallachian flatlands on the danube are OP, somewhere like Belgrade or Vidin upriver can control the whole thing even before paved roads. Athens is probably the best naval capital, same harbor suitability as Constantinople but it has an Iron RGO in the province and reaches the western balkans better.
>>2284990The entire region is just a smelly piece of shit, you are never going to have a "good" capital. At best you can hope to have it somewhere near Kosovo, just to get good proximity to the Serbian silver and Bulgarian gold.I would certainly just go for Konstantinople instead
>>2284998Vanilla RGO's may be bad but what ever that guy is doing is exactly the wrong way of going about it.
>>2284989WE
>>2284990>ConstantinopleTsargrad*
>>2285000But constantinople got silk
>finishing off Lithuania>my tiny vassal decides to claim a bunch of disconnected provinces from themWhy are vassals allowed to make separate peaces?
>>2284993Reading the description makes it seem like a "buff the nation I just played" cheat mod but it's actually good. Some things in vanilla RGOs are complete nonsense and leftovers from messy development. Like how saffron and pepper are somehow available everywhere, it was done that way because in early development there was a bunch of different spice goods, then they made them all just one "spices" as an optimization, people complained, so they split them up again but this time into categories. So "saffron" and "pepper" are supposed to "represent" a certain type of spices or some shit. They weren't even going to add cloves until forumfags insisted. Meanwhile Mercury is a hyper specific good and Spain gets a special mine with +300% output lol
Is Muscovy the only Great Power that starts with a randomly generated ruler? With every update his appearance changes
>>2285013who cares what a genocidal fascist country's leader is
>>2285012But saffron was actually grown in Europe and quite popular too>Saffron was a notable ingredient in certain Roman recipes such as jusselle and conditum.[110][111][112][113] Such was the Romans' love of saffron that Roman colonists took it with them when they settled in southern Gaul, where it was extensively cultivated until Rome's fall. With this fall, European saffron cultivation plummeted. Competing theories state that saffron only returned to France with 8th-century AD Moors or with the Avignon papacy in the 14th century AD.[114] Similarly, the spread of Islamic civilisation may have helped reintroduce the crop to Spain and Italy.Does the mod perhaps also remove Byzantine silk due to the silk road?
>>2285014as a genocidal fascist myself, i care and i asked.
>>2285009Thebes has silk and it's right next to Athens. Production efficiency bonus only cares about the whole province, doesn't matter if it's in the actual locationWhat Byzantion has is fiber crops for the paper making bonus
>>2285014>genocidal fascist countrylmao what
>>2285019The mod doesn't remove saffron at all, I guess what I mean is when you have it it doesn't feel particularly rare or valuable. It's like gold. You would think precious metals would be in short supply but Bohemia and Hungary flood Europe's markets for the whole game. Furs never really become valuable. There's just not enough demand. I made a mod that boosts it but after playing I think I'll raise it even more, everything is too plentiful everywhere
The games problem isn't the distribution of RGOs, it is that the AI is horrible at distributing them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtpFskyYkmg
>>2285026Sorry didn't know it was by you. I think you are right, i dint think you are historically accurate but trade in the game is broken and fails to distribute it to where it is in demand
>>2285032Oh I didn't make that one, I meant I made a personal mod I'm playing with that changes goods demand
>>2285027If they made things more historical it would break diwn further. If that copper mine in sweden produced historical amounts of copper, two thirds of it during this time period, the swedish market would have a enormous glut and everyone else a gigantic shortage.
>>2285026Safron is insanely valuable if you are Aragon and Gold is incredibly valuable if you are Bohemia and if you are neither of these the resources are in constant short supply>>2285027More like the fact that RGO maxing is too profitable and easy and goods demand and supply curves just don't match very well. RGO's have to supply both the pre black death Europe, post black death Europe and the hypotethical end game without shortages. The max supply really maybe only doubles over the game unless the player takes direct action. Meanwhile the demand can fluctuate like 10x from pop growing and pops promoting to more valuable types. To make sure that there's enough stuff for the 1800's economy RGO's have to be overtuned which causes issues in all other scenarios which is 99% of the game people actually play.
>>2285028Not watching that. I did start playing the video then immediately close it to destroy it in the algorithm however.
>>2285028>ProsIt fun>ConsTroons mad
>>2285038Same, 40 minute rant that could surely be summed up in less than 2 minutes. No thanks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1xOSLBwW-Y
>>2285038Does it? I thought clicking on it already pushes the video
>>2285026Maybe it would improve if gold could actually run dry? You can build more mines but that is akin to killing the golden goose early.
Is there any point in starting as a one province minor in EU5? It seems that you can literally do nothing for the first 50+ years
>>2285041Without watching I already know what the biggest problems are>control>proximity>no missions>decentralization push with the last patch
>>2285037I think they tweaked RGO and food output conservatively to ensure there generally aren't any shortages like you said. Because they probably figured spamming new players with shortages and starvation might be confusing. Then they papered over it with the effective supply/demand mechanic to make trade still worthwhile. But in reality if you cut output the game functions fine. At least for food. I tweaked that Better Agriculture mod that cuts food production and makes winter stop all food gains, in my own version subsistence isn't even buffed like the original mod does, and the game works fine. Sometimes provinces lack food and you have to build/buy food. Sometimes they starve in the winter/spring and recover in summer, if their food supply is shit. Food could be nerfed even harder and still work fine I think.
byzbros, we're going to the moon!no lacquerware yet btw but feels good to not be poor anymore
>>2285048What'd you do to get over that early game hump with those horrid privileges?
>>2285045thats how it is in all previous EU games and in all grand strategy games in general.
>>2285043Certain mineral resources should probably run dry yeah, then output techs can unlock further deposits instead of just creating more. Different locations could have different deposit levels so maybe some mines always run dry early, while others can only be opened later.
Johan should sallow his pride and make centralization 0-100 scale you only want to go up but decays at some rate like prestigeBut just like he let his mana obsession kill imperator he will probably keep wrangling with reality to make decentralization positive
>>2285050In CK3 it's not unheard of to quickly gather enough resources to start moderate blobbing
>>2285053ck3 is barely even a strategy game
>>2285050In ck2 you kick out the jews
>>2285052That's how it already is. You always want Centralization 100% of the time. Subject loyalty is a meme, they never declare independence or do anything bad. Having subjects give decentralization is fucking genius and the perfect way to transition from fiefswarm gameplay to centralized states.
>>2285049i attacked the ottomans ASAP and dismantled every fort i had. set navy and army maintenance to 0 during peace.i still went bankrupt 30+ times in a row but force selling all those buildings only helped me. took about 80 years to start revoking those corrupt privileges. the nobility one leading to a couple civil wars but no biggie.

Wouldn't it be advisable to max out decentralisation and release as much as possible as Byzantium initially? You get almost no taxes and owning more land means rebels got more land to turn

why the hell does zimbawe have more tech than aztecs
>>2285086trade with arabs
>>2285079yes, the game is pure dogshit. Centralization should be your goal, which is hard to achieve. Some countries such as Poland/Sweden or as you've mentioned, Byzantium start with a lot of territory which doesn't give them much. So what should be a massive plus is actually not optimal, since having vassals control these big swathes of land is just straight up better.The only upside I see is that there is more migration towards your capital if you own those states directly, it was much easier to repopulate Krakow than Moscow after the Black Death in my runs
I wish there was a subject loyalty map mode
>>2285056I think they are going to try harder and harder to boost decentralization . Like they put agro reduction in the espionage ideas in eu4 because despite all attempts to buff espionage none ever picked it

>>2285112yep. No historical outcomes, no missions, miss unique country events. Just blob and post your le epic sandbox campagin on reddit xister!
>paradox claims to fix cases of CTDs in patches>my game crashes more and more oftenCurious!
>>2285114Not that guy but I have seen few timur screens since 1.10 so it's probably new behavior. My own campaign is at 1700's so can't comment and haven't run any tests but I think they probably benefited from the changes to situations and overall agression.>>2285102>>2285112Alt gameplay, make the number go up and post that on reddit. Maxed out money epiccus celcicus (paradox please nerf).... I can already picture it now!
but why hungary, do you have a death wish?
This game runs like ass. It's only 1500 but it's massively slowed down. I feel like tons of time has passed then I look at the year and it's been maybe 3 in game years.
>>2285121honestly 1.0.4 with land exploration fix is probably the best patch subsequent patches made levies ridiculously weak and had a lot of other garbage changes
>>2284828Which one? Link?
>>2285126sure took them a while to join but i see how it is, the catholic west wants to pillage constantinople once again!
>>22851281.0.9 is better than 1.0.4 because a bunch of bugs were fixed, but 1.0.4 had better military balance1.0.10 is like a free for all game mode where the objective is to survive
>>2285118P>>2285126>eSStonia has a swatika flagjust like real life
They should change Army based countries so that they collapse if their army size falls below a certain threshold.In my latest game the Golden Horde survived Timur's invasion because somehow they always managed to keep a stack of 20/30 levies alive.And I mean literally one stack of 20/30 levies max.
>barely avoid a dynasty change by marrying a first cousin.>fast forward some years, her son is now king had 3 sons of his own.>get them married at 16>every single one has nothing but daughters.Well shit, I have no more male cousins to do the cousin marriage trick. I wish there was a way to get another historical dynasty like the tutors. I don't want some stupid randomly generated name.
>>2285141I always aim for the dynasty with the funnies name
>play Habsburgs>can't do actual incestwooooooooooooooow
>>2285141I like how at the start it was forced women, they they disabled it in the chud patch and there was a golden age of dynastymaxing, now were back in the nightmare mode with more women and less children.
>>2285141Surely there's a bonnie Scottish King for you to marry
>>2285141just savescum until your wife dies and get a new onerandom dynasties are unplayable for me aswell
>done a rural only challenge>done a city/town only challengeWhat's next? An OPM challenge?
Forts should provide control.

>>2285150Bailiffs
Best capital spot for Germany?
>>2285153Frankfurt should be a very central location and IIRC it was the suggested capital location during the waves of nationalism
>>2285153Depends on what you define as Germany but you likely want either a coastal city or something pretty far up stream towards the south of your realm.
>>2285153Vienna.
>>2285010monastic order vassals are weirdthey can also attack heathen countries in their own, including your own heathen vassals
>>2285153Paris
>>2285152that's proximity
>>2285151I had seven daughters and one son, next generation was eleven daughters and two sons. This is with 3-4 wives.
>>2285161which in turn boosts control
>>2285153konigsburg
>>2285162This could be easily fixed if the game would allow you to impregnate your daughters but noooooo
>>2285155why coastal when 90% of the land is inland? also requires you to blob into denmark to get the most out of it
Haven't played a Paradox game since my old laptop melted down to a puddle 4 years ago. This is what I'd need to match the recommended requirements as we all know minimum won't do it. Do they seriously expect people to pay this amount of money for a map painter?
>>2285167Because lot of Germanies are in fact grös teutonic grandmasterium orderiums and have most of the Baltic. Also it's not like coastal location is bad even if most of your land is not coastal. It just means you get more control in the other rivers that go up. Copehagen is in fact a very good capital in that case.
>>2285168That's what they expect from people willing to buy every single dlc including cosmetic and musuc pacs yeah
>>2285142might be historical for England to get a foreign dynasty, guess I'll go German.
How many Cannons do i want o my cavalry army?
>>2285168How else would you afford the 300 dollars worth of DLC before they raise the recommended specs
>>2285168I built myself a similar one myself paying less than 900 bucks before RAMs' prices skyrocketed, that's two or three months of savings if you are an average westerner and have a decent job>italian languagenvm everyone is broke there
can i build outdated regulars? i can't afford the manpower for the current stuff but i can afford the old ones i think
>>2285173I don't think cannons are worth it for combat reasons in age 2 but you do want them for sieges and seeing as you aren't full frontage you may as well join them into your main stack for combat too
>>2285130https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3611605661
>>2285173nice portrait of you king, faggot
>>2285173In that year? You stick cannons in a separate stack reserved for sieges. They don't do anything in battles but take damage.
>>2285177Dumb idea, if you need more soldiers now just take a loan or reconsider if you really needed the extra 200 troops afterall.
>>2285178>>2285181Ah so just 3 for each lane. Cannons get good at Reformation?
>>2285177You'd be better off having understrength current regulars than outdated regulars. They take extra damage vs. current units
>>2284853>As was frequent in many battles during this period, the impulsive charge of the French cavalry proved disastrous, as they were too far ahead of the rest of the Castilian army to receive any support, and were charging uphill at a narrow fortified defensive positionIt's a miracle that those retards didn't lose the 100 year war.
>>2284899Play on very hard to delay that moment.
>>2285189The medieval French were so hilariously awful at war. Just charging around doing stupid shit because all they knew was feuds and raiding. Imagine if the mongols made it to France with all their Chinese technology and stratagems. It'd be like an alien invasion, a magnifying glass versus an ant.
>>2285056Decentralization is clearly superior for at least the first 200 years.
>>2285141dynasty change is a nothingburger, unless you are playing in the hreyou can throw yourself into a union when you have a female heiralso you can recover the dynasty if you made vassals with your dynasty
>1 or 2 unique gov reforms>1 or 2 unique estate priviledges>events, most of them dogshit and many will literally just not fire due to retarded requirements that are hidden from the player>teehee it's just as much flavour as eu4 chuddies!kill pavia and goytubers
>>2285193How can it be superior, it doesn't do anythingYou don't get anything out of decentralization but subject loyalty which is useless unless you're a very small country relying on vassal troops to fight wars. "Disloyal" vassals still pay all their taxesMeanwhile -10% proximity cost and 50% crown power are great for the entire game. In the early game especially crown power and proximity are hard to stack up so it's even better, the earlier you get stronger the more you can snowball.
>>2285141For my von habsburg game I set inheritance law to salic and only let sons marry
>>2285199you need vassal to be loyal to annex them and get their provinces pre-integrated. if you use disloyal vassal cb and conquer them you have to integrate them again. having loyal vassals that integrate land for you lets you expand much faster than having centralizing early and having to slowly integrate everything yourself
does gold famine even happen when hungary and bohemia just infinitely mines gold

>>2285223Pope Clement VI (the French-born Benedictine, whose birth name was Pierre Roger) tried to protect the Jewish communities by issuing two papal bulls in 1348, on 6 July and 26 September. They stated that those who blamed the plague on the Jews had been "seduced by that liar, the Devil". He went on to emphasize, "It cannot be true that the Jews, by such a heinous crime, are the cause or occasion of the plague, because through many parts of the world the same plague, by the hidden judgment of God, has afflicted and afflicts the Jews themselves and many other races who have never lived alongside them"
>>2285223>Quamvis Perfidiam was a 1348 papal bull issued by Pope Clement VI, a key document condemning anti-Jewish violence and scapegoating during the Black Death, stating Jews were innocent of poisoning wells and were themselves victims of the plague, urging clergy to protect them, and placing them under apostolic safeguard against pogroms, though it had limited success against widespread hysteria
>>2285222Burgers are importing most of the weapons, is that bad? It doesn't show a shortage though.
>>2285224what the fuckyou can't take away my settlers like this, game
>>2285232If burghers are importing something it means you have a shortage and they're covering the gap and making money in the processIf they're exporting it means you're producing extra and some other market needs it at a higher priceBut yeah you should be producing it yourself, it'll bring the price down.

>>2285211the byzantine hydra, for every province you take he gets 2 more titles
>>2285244it does seem like you overextended into useless land where you have no control, anon.
>>2285249nah before the event i had +52 then i got 62 stab hit somewhere didnt even see and the event popped and i went to -52
>>2285244You just can't ever let yourself fall under 0 stab
>>2285252yeah but i took tremendous -62 stab hit somewhere i dont even know where
>>2285079Yes, it's the strategy and not even because of subjects giving more money, which is good, but because this way you can avoid the unique Byz succession disaster that fires only if you have more than 2 provinces. The idea is to release everything, eat the Ottomans in 1340~ via the parliament CB, release the conquered provinces and keep reforming while sitting on 2 provinces (Byzantion and Kokaelli)
>>2284989>Whitemans Y chromosomeI suppose that is all that matters and will be sorted out in a few generations.

>>2285285It's crazy that they committed genocide on themselves and each other over the theological equivalent of lore arguments, and then in the end they all secularized anyway like nothing happened. Today half of germany has no religion at allImagine telling some Cathars or Huguenots after they were brutally tortured and their families raped but before they were burned at the stake, yeah, sorry none of this actually matters. It's just an autism fit over made up bullshit everyone's gonna forget about it later lolIt's really insane, going back even to the early church and all the heresy spergouts, imagine how many good men were butchered like wild animals over whether the nature of the logos and its essence is dual or single or whatever.

>>2285315Damn they got Nickleback?
>>2285315Not the Labubu! You have any idea how rare that was?
>>2285314I just find it wild that people, especially western/European people living in countries closely preceding ours, took ideas like "the son eternally existed with the father" or "don't draw pictures of people" as seriously as concepts like liberty, equality, representative taxation, nationalism, etc. to the point of absolute barbaric massacres. Like at least when the French revolutionaries started guillotining people they had some sort of political plan in mind, even if they became butchers in the process. What was the Byzantine iconoclasm good for? Did anyone who died for that accomplish anything at all? It's fair to assume good faith but I don't think we have to reward every historic human action with merit. Some things are just purely retarded superstition. When ISIS destroyed Assyrian artifacts from the Mosul museum, were they not worth looking down upon?

>>2285237>King of France is Austrian>King of England is Austrian>King of Spain is Austro-French>King of Portugal is Austrian>King of Sweden is Austrian>King of Kiev and Georgia is in a PU. He's Austrian>The Hochmeister is AustrianYou can actually pull this off with mass breeding. Do not marry any daughters. Instantly marry all sons/nephews/etc to your own nobles or commoners the moment they turn 16 to prevent leakage of titles. AI will automatically breed their own royals and nobles but only to a limited threshold. By the late 1400's you should have a big enough stock of young bucks of your own dynasty. From now on every time a MALE family member turns 16 you marry him out, keeping only 1/3rd for yourself to continue breeding. It doesn't matter if it is a small kingdom offering a second daughter. The goal is to mass export your family name to other kingdoms and "poison" their limited pool of royals and nobles. Every son you get into a foreign court will breed more characters with your dynasty name who can potentially get married by AI. After a few generations of this you will notice random events where distant family ruling in a random HRE bishopric ask you for money.

The game is dreadful if you're in a corner of the world without basic resources. Nubia has no lumber at all, I'm having to tear down buildings to optimise the few units I can get from trade with Ethiopia's 1 RGO. Just build with bricks instead for fuck sake you're on the Nile. also can I move a trade centre?
>>2285343The scaling is definitely off, why does one rural location cost 20 when a city is 40?
>>2285343i don't think the bse cost is the issue, it's that if your culture is a gorillion and theirs is like 10, you still only get +50% assimilation speed. it should cap at like 300% and be exponential
>>2285342Any Catholic country that venerates Mary
>>2285352left click on the market tab
>>2285355Just click Enforce Culture and it becomes +100%
>>2285352i tried this. i could have beaten the mamluks and built lumber in their land but that means moving the whole country. too bad it takes forever to colonize the woods province on the border
>>2285355There's a "much smaller country" modifier that goes at least up to 300%. If you try to annex a vassal it might take ages, but if you split the vassal in ten pieces and annex them one by one it's many times faster. Yeah it makes no sense.

>>2282941Johann t'Serclaes Graf von Tilly did absolutely nothing wrong, Magdeburg deserved to be destroyed for willingly siding with the invader
>>2285372There's Increase Control in Area. It feels pretty good, though I don't like using it because in theory the minmaxed way is to constantly rotate the action across your provinces (because monthly control decays slowly when the Cabinet leaves, but increases quickly when he begins working)
is georgia fun?
>>2285394It will be impossible for you to project control outside of your starting borders, so if you intend to expand moving the capital to coast, preferably to Konstantinople, will be neccessary. Figure out yourself whether playing inferior ERE is what you want
>>2285394It's a good pick, haven't done a significant run as them, but you have a lot of roads of expansion. It has some flavor, too.

>>2285428They can split all existing tiles into 3 or 4 smaller tiles and turn them into provinces.
>>2285427I think the assimilate cabinet action is just a holdover from previous games. like EU4's magical convert culture. It really doesn't make any sense. It relies on military ability so if it represents some kind of genocide it should probably be killing people, but it doesn't. It doesn't interact with religion which is even weirder. You can rapidly culture convert all of bulgaria to turkish with the cabinet but they'll still be orthodox. Orthodox Turkish. Huh?

For the last 11 years they've been told they're invincible and they could have won this war 10 times over if the West had just supported them more. A peace being "forced" on them unilaterally by America will upset pretty much the entire population.Yeah, sure, they could expel all known Azov members but that doesn't mean shit when every possible successor to Zelensky will view it as their victory being stolen from them.

>>2285530The war can go on in perpetuity as is. Everyone saying two more weeks for both sides is delusional. Russia obviously won't stop, their economy is actually doing better than ever due to the arms contracts. If the West was actually serious about it they could put pressure on, but they're too invested in testing weaponry in Ukraine as well. Every trade that existed before the war is still in place, in some cases having to go through farcical back channels like using fucking kyrgyzstan as a middleman.Take a look at their trade figures in the last 5 years. All sanctioned things are just being traded through them and then on to Russia, and vice-versa. It's pantomime. Ukraine on the other hand won't have a moment it breaks. That happened in WW1 due to the entrance of America into the war and the blockade of Germany making their people starve. There is neither a huge power-balance shifting force happening nor a lack of food in Ukraine, so they won't capitulate. However, if they refuse Trump's enforced peace they'll have access to American weapons and comms withdrawn (the latter of which are actually more important than the weapons) and that would be the shift in power balance. Ukraine know this, so will begrudgingly accept, thus feeding the stab in the back narrative.In the event Ukraine didn't accept and tried to continue the war solely with European support the tide of the war would quickly change and be over by 2027 at the latest with complete destruction of Ukraine.

>>2285586People usually surrender before that, doesn't mean it's not the objective truth of the matter. Russians are killing ukrainians faster than they are being born, mathematically that only ends one way. Paraguya in the war of the triple alliance according to the highest estimates lost 90% of it's pre war male population. Of course they did lose the war too and lost most of their territories as well.
>>2285586In the past nationalism (or serfdom, poverty, and lack of means) meant that even if things were going badly during a war, 99% of your population was staying in your country. That plus higher birthrates meant that if you got absolutely slaughtered, you could keep throwing generations into the grinder until the situation was either totally untenable or one side's will to fight breaks.Hohols and ziggers are both trying to leave their countries in droves. For example the EU is actually fucking Ukraine over by accepting masses of Ukrainian women. I'm assuming Chinese "bride tourism" in Russia has a similar if lower impact. These two already have low birth rates and are herding their prime breeding age, prime family-starting age people either overseas or into minefields.

Why is legislative efficiency treat as if it's some great modifier? All it does is slightly reduce the length of time it takes to adopt a reform. I imagine initially it actually boosted all reforms and was nerfed, that's why the game always treats it like hot shit.

>>2285632Paradox (like usual) has no idea which modifiers are good and which aren't. It may be vestigial like you say in the sense that it once did something and no longer does anything but the simpler explanation is that legislative efficiency sounds like administrative efficiency and that was a great modifier in 4.

>>2285687>>2285703The burgher thing is a nerf to them since it lowers local taxes and increases burger power and the market access is way overrated. It's pretty good if you just build few of them since you can then concentrate them in your one gold province and they also do give some profit by themselves but if you spam them everywhere they cannibalize their own profit so you are in effect paying 50 gold for literally just the 0.5% market access. RGO profit is just base * control * market access * level * output modifiers. Take the example of a silver mine, say the price is up so it's 10 and the control and market access is 50 and 50 to start out with and there's 10 levels of the mine and there's some tech or what ever that gives him +50% output. That's 37.5 profit. If he now adds a market village there the extra market access is worth 0.375 ducats. That's 130 years to pay itself back and that's frankly quite an optimistic scenario with high value good already built up with decent control and access. The trade also adds bit of value on top of that but if I were to look at any of my cities or towns right now I would not even consider building a building with a profit in the range of +0.5 for instance. The displayed value is also bit deceptive since while market villages just outright make profit they also compete for the RGO's with your other more efficient buildings so if you flood your market with them you may be strangling your other buildings that you really ought to be making (and the throughput is half of what a X guild would do with the same investment to boot). It's still probably the best peasant building since fishing villages are always just loss leaders and forest and farming villages are kinda crap as well. Market access boost from market places is pretty fantastic in big cities though.

>>2285645The USSR fell to a western backed color revolution, many of the republics that gained independence were led by corrupt embezzers already so they just inherited power, a lot of the Central Asia republics created some interesting tinpot dictatorships which survive to this day and are fun to read about. The Baltic were still seething about being annexed by the USSR in 1939 and are to this day NATO's strongest warriors. The Caucasus started many wars, none of which are resolved to this day, and Belarus was taken over by Luka who is by far the most USSR nostalgiay successor.Russia was given to Yeltsin, a bloated drunkard who immediately sold all the assets of the state off to oligarchs, there's a very interesting documentary about the fall of the USSR in general on Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wf5lT7zR50https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcrI09_ro7ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar_PBG39zNYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkiknbJsD-Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq27NDAOrzQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It0XAR33pW0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9inR9olippIIt wasn't until almost a decade later that he finally ceded power to Putin, who contrary to popular belief actually tried to ingratiate himself with the West, including aiding the allied invasion of Afghanistan and attempting to join NATO.

Johan you fat fuck, I know you read these threads. So here's my solution to balancing centralization vs decentralization once and for all. Currently, with vassals being the meta for expansion because it's so much better than integration and also enforcing culture/religion is so effective with vassals as the ten year cool down nullifies the anger it generates anyway. I have a solution to the balance.Keep the benefits of both mostly as they are BUT with centralization have it boost the speed of integration and diplo annexation by let's say 100% at max level., and conversely decrease integration and diploannex speed by 50% on the other end.Let's use this logic; your nation and government at max centralization is a bureaucratic powerhouse that controls your territory down to the last penny. This naturally would mean it's much more effective at integrating territory, because it has the bureaucratic tools to get shit don't. This also causes the vassal opinion decrease, because they know that being a vassal of a centralized country is just a matter of time before their local authority is eroded and sidelined and brought up to the level of their overlord (annexing/integrating). A decentralized nation, on the other hand, does not have those tools as readily available or the manpower and bureaucracy dedicated to those processes. This means the opinion boost from decent is due to your vassals feeling "safer" in their independence.You're welcome, I just balanced your dogshit centralization/decentralization meta.Thank you for your attention to this matter
>>2285758You still go centralization with vassals, nerfing centralization more doesn't help that

>>2285754I just checked it and yeah you are right, lmao. Funny how you can't hover over the profit to see what factors into it, but the market access tooltip does mention that.
>>2285765You said you would nerf decentralization with 50% integration and annex penalty. What is the buff you propose to counter that?

>>2285778Full decentralization literally makes your vassals all disloyal. That's the reason. If you're a retard (you are) you'll play suboptimally for the centralization LARP, but right now in its current state there is ZERO reason to do it. The proximity bonus is dogshit. The crown power is almost useless considering the plethorah of other ways to get more of it. Tldr shutup you don't know how to play
>>2285780If you unironically think decentralization is good then it doesn't need nerfs I suppose, why propose nerfs no one is asking is beyond me though. Absolutely bizarre post.
Is it just 1 retard arguing with himself and mixing centralization with decentralization all the time?
>>2285784Because it balances the bonus given to centralization you stupid nigger. Holy fuck you're stupid
>>2285786Centralization doesn't need buffs it's already too good.
>>2285788Just stop you're a retard

>>2285813They don't really affect you in any way whatsoever. It's not like V3 where your GDP increases from them.
>>2285813A BBC (building based country) can fill you as you grow taller and wider, providing some bonuses, but it will employ pops that you may (depending on the building) be better off directly employing in your own buildings.
>>2285813It's good so long as you have more trade advantage than they do. It's free trade that you don't have to pay for while you get to keep skimming the cream off the top. Ideally you would do all the trade yourself but that means actually investing into it and maybe even microing it. If you build a workshop and hansa builds a trade building you are left with more income at the end than if you had just build the workshop or just the trade building. If they get more advantage than you (very difficult but can happen) then you need to shut it down because then they get the best trades.Realistically if you have infinite money as you should and you see AI building things you should just build more trade yourself.
>>2285813Nobody builds foreign buildings. I tried giving banks +100 relations with me and multiple 1k gold gifts and they will not build any banks anywhere. They simply do nothing.
>>2285556>Russia obviously won't stop, their economy is actually doing better than ever due to the arms contractsloland you do actually believe $100 mil is a meaningful volume when it comes to trade between big countries?

>>2285810You self report whenever you reply this to a native by the way
>>2285857yeah they are being traded through middlemen like some post before said, nafotrannies really are the lowest IQ brown retards there are huh
>>2285854In 2025 early access exists for marketing only. Content creators help foster hype and all the "I watched every single timelapse released so far, how come Ottomans never expand and Russia never forms in all of them?"-type questions get drowned out by slopchuggers in the fanbaseSeriously when did you last hear or read about a dev fixing shit found in early access prior to release? Only the most gamebreaking (as in literal crash-to-desktop cant-play-the-game) stuff gets touched.
>>2285857>Russian gas via alternative routesHow do they know the exact numbers for that? Officially it's not Russian gas at all.
Some countries look like they have smallpox with another nation holding tiny, unconnected provinces everywhere. It's so gross.
>>2285838>>2285839it's russia's fault georgia is self-explanatory (but the episode where russia armed chechens to assist abkhazians and then those chechens went to kill russians was pretty funny)armenia and azerbaijan stalemate was russia's design completely, russia didn't want to antagonize azerbaijan since they were a potential gas competitor and armenia was cornered making a desperate bet on russia this all fell apart of course thank to monkey's 3 day operation
>>2285862Alternative in that context means not trough ukraine so for instance pipelines trough Belarus or trough Turkey or what ever. It does not track the "totally not Russian gas"
>>2285863yeah its not as bad when its vassalspam(like france) but when its an enemy or something it looks like pox
>>2285861that's what I imagine has happened, but for me personally it had the opposite effect. All the eu5 content just made me less hyped even though I've watched barely anything
>>2285866Ah, that makes sense.
>>2285865>it's Russia's fault that it didn't Russify the caucasus completely?you ok nafotranny?
>>2285870who are you quoting?
>>2285862Statistical inference or something like that, I suppose. A lot of these organizations have genuinely intelligent beancounters, just beholden to retard politicians only good for popularitymaxxing. I'm assuming they do shit like>X country usually bought 100 gallons(?) of gas from Russia and 50 gallons from other sources>After we sanctioned Russia that dropped to zero>X is importing 150 gallons from other sources>Let's look at those other sources>Neither Y nor Z expanded their gas extraction facilities, kind of weird that they're exporting way more gas all of a sudden
>>2285862>>2285866Do you think russia has built up the capacity to transport by sea all the gas it can no longer sell to Europe?
>>2285873this fanfic has nothing to do with reality eu switched to american lng russia sells its gas to india and china for way below market rate
>>2285873Keep in mind some countries like China and India genuinely don't care simply view the Slav-on-Slav chimp fight as a business opportunity.

Why do ziggers always flock to 'WE WUZ EMPIRES' simulators
>>2285857>here's a graph of direct russian exports to europeMy whole point is that they're using third parties to do it, same for imports. Kyrgystan is far from the only country they do this with, Georgia is another big one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwIZ8aACRSo
>>2285874Aren't they building a pipeline to China?
All this gas sanctions talk makes me wish you could do supply chain and economic warfare in EU5 beyond embargos.When the devs were doing their teaser videos I was hoping that (for example) if I built a highly efficient supply chain for making cannons quicker and cheaper than all my neighbors I could drive their cannonmakers out of business or force the AI to activate subsidies for their nonprofitable cannonmakers.Instead what happens is trade automation (which I use 90% of the time and which AI uses 100% of the time) prioritizes selling gold, silver, and valuables all the time meaning while I can drive down my own artillery recruitment costs, I'm not actually impacting anything next door"Man it would be so cool if I got France addicted to cheap Dutch saltpeter and arquebuses then rugpull them during a war" --> whoops can't do that!
>>2285885even better when you're directly exporting guns and cannons to your enemy while you're at war with them
>>2285884no, china refused a new pipeline
>>2285885You can do that, you just have to intentionally make a loss with the trades for a while which for obvious reasons the trading automation thankfully doesn't attempt by itself. Imagine how fucking shit the game would be if the trading automation was constantly doing loss making trades in an attempt to shadowbox French economy to the ground or what ever.
>>2285885The economic """simulation""" gets less deep the more you figure out how it works. It's a huge missed opportunity not to have wear and tear for military and need production of ammunition
>>2285890You do need constant stream of military supplies to your barracks. Unless you are the type that builds an army and then disables his manpower buildings.
>>2285887Oh yeah that is just dumb, embargoing markets of hostile countries should be automatic.
>>2285885world isn't really meant to be interconnected during eu5 period global trade at scale really took off only in victorian period before that it was mostly luxuries like spices
>>2285892I know, what I mean is>Build manpower building>It takes certain supplies, which is good>Recruit military unit>It takes certain supplies, which is also good>Fighting doesn't cause any increase in supply consumption>You don't use up weapons, leather, etc more rapidly when your guys are in battle>There is no ammunition, guns and cannons summon shot and ball out of thin air>Your army of 40,000 fusiliers and cannon took casualties and now only 25,000 are left>That missing 15,000 is replenished from your manpower pool>It doesn't cost you any extra weapons, guns, cannons, horses>Your armories consume the same static amount of supplies needed to keep them running>Your 4,000 cannon corps lost half of their guys but all their cannons are intact, they don't need fresh cannons to replenishThis would go a LONG way to balancing regulars. A large standing army should require a large dedicated supply chain to keep them clothed, fed, armed, and firing. Knightly levies come with their own plate armor but an army in 1740 should require constant supply of ammunition and "soldier supplies"Like, isn't it weird you can lose half a cuirassier division and replenishing them doesn't consume additional horses, weapons, guns, leather, paper? Just manpower?
>>2285897artillery at the very least should consume saltpeter to use in battle
>>2285897It literally does dumbass. If you send your army to the colonies they won't reinforce because there's no cannons available in the local market.
>>2285884They've been talking about that pipeline for years, still concrete steps taken towards it.

>>2285903Really? I have literally never run into that before. The only issues I've had with replenishment is needing to march an attritioned army back to friendly territory for manpower to flow back in.
>>2285911>wasting time making a secret wakanda formable instead of giving content to actual historic tags
>>2285911No, easter eggs don't count
eu5 will add ammunition production and consumption in the 2028 combat overhaul patch, please look forward to it!
>>2285916It's pretty painful when you've conquered a lot of shitholes, constantly sailing between them trying to find which one still has supplies available.
>>2285907It just barely gets formed withing the game's time frame.
>>2285912>Itt we praise JOHN EUROPE>founder of big Germanium, emperor of Europa, head of the Protestant church
>>2285921Huh, that's one complaint less I guess. I still think there should be constant good consumption and new warfighting supplies that need to be produced though.

Subject earnings should scale with their loyalty. How can disloyal vassals not help you in a war but still pay you exactly 20% no matter how dissatisfied they are?It would make much more sense if happy subjects pay more and unhappy ones pay less. 100% loyal subjects also wouldn't turn down your request to get more money from them because, as the name suggests, they are 100% loyal
>>2285985ziggers seriously believe that balts are better off than the average russian because the ussr out of humanitarian reasons invested resources into making them richer than the rest of the union and they would still be as poor as back in 1939 without it.
>>2285992It does... disloyal subjects pay almost nothing, and with loyal subjects you can siphon income
>>2285971Stuff like zombie and vampire mods would actually work well and be welcome here. You could even do insane schizo stuff like randomly have some pops disappear and migrate to a mysterious land. Maybe they all become enslaved to some Eldritch being you have to eventually fight. Defeating it gives you the free pops that don't flee, some prestige or diplo rep or some other way to represent being viewed as a hero, maybe you can even get a special tech.

>>2286121>russia was never a big trade partner for the usNor is the Middle East today, but there being relative stability there is important.Whether or not Russia trades directly with the US is largely irrelevant, what's important is that a stable friendly Russia stabilizes gas and oil prices. Even if the US isn't buying Russian gas the price stability matters to them.For an actual historical example of this look at the 1973 oil crisis. The US was self-sufficient in oil production, they really didn't need to rely on Middle Eastern oil, but the international price instability caused by the OPEC embargo still caused the US economy to suffer. The same is true for relations with Russia in the 90s. Even though the US didn't directly trade (much) with Russia the impact of a global stabilized oil and gas price helped the economy.

>>2286236stability in the middle east is overratedit's basically just an excuse to give israel another 20 trillionit mostly lost relevance after the shale revolution, at this point it honestly benefits china more since they are dependent as fuck on the middle eastern oil
>>2286252>I still don't feel like it really ever deserved to be called a superpower. It never achieved a hugbox as huge as America has.No, but it was able to go toe-to-toe with that hugbox as it stood at the time. Even if you think that it would lose in any actual direct conflict, that's what popular perception was at the time, and that's pretty much the textbook image of how power projection makes a great power
>>2286247I hope Jina collapses so we can have another hyper-pornbrained East Asian society. The CCP enforce puritan moral standards, even going so far as to ban videos with cleavage from billibilli.

But right clicking "reset" this timer.I don't know. This is the first time I've told anybody about these weird nuances I found in thousands of hours of eu3.I like it because it's arcadey. I can have guns as Aachen and fight France who still has men at arms.I really like how tech works in eu3 though.

also prestige is by far the most retarded modifier in the game. Investing in culture is useless, great I am spending 10 gold a month to lose -0.1 prestige instead of -0.2 prestige.

>>2286351There is no point building irrigation or farming villages. They mainly produce food, but the food is always at the max stockpile.Granaries however should be spammed, because they increase the amount you're able to stockpile.
>>2286360farming villages increase food capacity as wellirrigation also increases pop capacity by 1k, which increases the "available land" modifier for pop growth

>>2286383regulars
IS THIS TRUE CHAT?
>>2286384A tiny part of control is pop satisfaction, but you lose more than you gain by lowering taxes.Spamming privileges until their satisfaction is in the 60s at max tax is viable though.
>>2286384no, that anon probably plays with cheats peasants give food production and stab cost
>>2286389?Satisfaction is by % of the populationSince commoners is basically everyone, you get their estate satisfaction up and get 100 pop satisfaction across your country
>>2286391>commoners is basically everyonengmi
>>2286392you shouldn't be taxingburgers either
>>2286391going from 50% satisfaction to 100% is just 5% controlyou will miss a lot of money on taxes trying to max satisfaction going from 50% to 60% satisfaction to get 1% more control is completely negligible, but it will cost a lot of tax revenue
>Did anyone survive?It kinda looks like EVERYONE survived
>>2286395It costs fuck allSince 75% estate satisfaction gives a +50% satisfaction boostAlso i have a suspicion that you get better events with higher estate/pop satisfcation
>>2286394With Burghers you should just give them every privilege because they're all good.Then you have max satisfaction burghers giving you production efficiency but you still get max tax out of them.noble privileges>eat shit>die>eat shit and dieburgher privileges>your free money sir
So when does Ming show up? My vassals are about to win the Red Turban Rebellion for me...
>>2286381You're a tributary and not a vassal/dominion right? And you have to be tribal. It works for me at least on the 1.0.10 patch, maybe your pale swapped to being a french vassal?
>>2286400>I just sit there waiting for Ming>They never show up>My vassals beat the Red Turbans>I ignore the 100% warscore notification>Peace lasts for so long I get the forced white peace event that happens when no battles take place for too long>Still no MingDamn, I deleted every building in China for this?
>>2286402The mandate has persevered. Millions must continue cultivating rice.
>>2286402You deleted the building the Hongwu Emperor was working in, he lost his job and starved to death
>>2286402>full deindustrialization is the best way to keep chinks in checkwas mao cooking when he did the great leap forward?
>>2286407i mean nobody overthrew him so it worked
>>2285352Holy shit I did it. I'm now producing 2 (two) units of lumber locally after investing thousands of gold to colonise 2 woodland tiles, build roads to get them close enough to join my market, and building lumber mills.The African golden age begins now.
>>2286401how did you overcome the border distance/different government type malus to have england want you as his tributary? patch 1.0.9
>>2286402>>2286407牛逼。。。真他妈的的牛逼。。。https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2QuS7YTdCc
>>2286413You get pale to make you a tributary, not England. You have to give them pretty much everything for bonus relations, but it's possible. When Pale makes you a tributary you can attack England's vassals and get a border with them that way, but you probably won't need to do this until you've defeated the Pale.When you win against the Pale make sure to keep them as a OPM for a bit so that you can get a piece of Wales before the tributary status breaks, in order to get a border with England to become a direct tributary instead.
>>2286416tested with console and as tributary to pale he would still defend ulster
>>2285352in nubia i just destroyed the market center in dongola so that everything is part of axumofc then you are out of trade range from egypt so you don't get institutions but you win some and lose someMaybe destroy both and make one on ur alodia capital
>>2286418Pale defends but you should be able to win against them because they'll be weakened by the 100 year war while you rush the levy techs after conquering the parts of Ireland they don't own. If England defends for you I'm not sure what's up with that, it works for me.
it takes ai automation literal years to utilize newly acquired trade capacitybut i shant be doint it manually at this point
>>2286421fair enough will try later thanks
>>2286422I find if you just spend all 300 on some bullshit then unlock it they'll delete the trade and then start using the capacity.

>>2286332No I mean I'm watching them play eu5 and I keep thinking the buttons won't work because clicking things in eu3 just doesn't always work.
>>2286424No problem, hope it werks anon. I'd recommend starting as Tyrone or Clandeboye since they have some extra cores and high population from the start, and it's a bit easier on the 1.0.10 patch due to the proximity jumping over lakes now.Tribals being one of the rare sources of -10 proximity cost after the nerfs makes them almost feel good if not for the fact that they have no capital buildings lol.Gave it another go earlier today since it turns out you need to actually own the provinces to form eire and I had made too many vassals. Got a full annex in 25 years (except 1 province I left on purpose), but I think it's possible to do it even faster if you min-max it, most of it is just waiting for forts to siege
damn, had a giant war, took over 3 markets, got 3M pops and still cant get in to GPsi can probably get a permanent foothold if i form an empire but i need to get in first

>>2286419>Maybe destroy both and make one on ur alodia capitalI moved the Dongola market to my capital in the first war with Makuria. That was to pretty effective except for the wood issue. I think if you deleted Axum most of Ethiopia would have very low market access. I thought there was a mechanic where market access is propagated down-stream along rivers so Dongola further down the Nile should be a better location but from testing that doesn't seem to be the case.
>>2286454We put general in the name for a reason, it is very generally about EU5
Anyone know what exactly is meant with "from 600 ducats due to investments" in the rebel tooltip? Hovering over the stuff doesn't explain it further.

>>2286472I'm trans btw, not sure if that matters
>>2286471it's the best launch they've ever had but it needs a lot of work on the flavor end. As far as the actual systems and mechanics of the game though it's their finest work.
>>2286473i think you may genuinely be a schizophrenic anon
weird shiti think its a bug?
>>2286475>it's the best launch they've ever hadIt's even worse than Vicky 3, I think only HoI4 compares in terms of how completely broken and bug-ridden the game was, even over a month later your campaign is still liable to get completely bricked by bugs, including new ones added by the "bugfix" patches.
>>2286480>It's even worse than Vicky 3I'm sorry there's just no way anybody could actually believe this
>>2286479catholics can change the rules to let priests marry during the council of trent
>>2286484thats only half of itthey are marrying a muslim, does the game disregard their personal religion and only considers the state one?
>>2286483The problem Vicky 3 has is design flaws, but it was not a bug-ridden mess. EU5 both has major design flaws and is buggy as shit.
>>2286480anon please, vic3 is still a game that has a broken game design philosophy>>2286486>it was not a bug-ridden messyou now remember the CSA that spawned in the north.

Paradox had to force this game out for whatever reason.Does anyone know why?
>>2286487That's not a bug, that's a design flaw. The correct comparison here would be Christian Ottomans in every game.
what would you even need to add to make a vicky conversion mod for EU5? political affiliations for pops? almost all the core parts are already there, even subtle things like frontage which can then be reduced by techs leading to massive sprawling battle lines
>>2286498it would take a while, like adjusting pop sizes, cultures, etc for the 1836s.it's mostly busywork. adding crises should be easy enough with the situation system.
Why didn't East vs West just say the game was finished and put it out anyway? Were they stupid?
Post your best borders. Winner, as decided by me, will receive a very nice reaction image
>>2286501Wasn't it something canceled mainly because it'd be too controversial?
this has been my best byzantium yet. I weathered the storm of the first 30 years or so and now I'm turning the corner against the Ottomans. Looks like the Mamluks will follow after that.
whyd byz in my game get into 5 succession wars in a few years?

>>2286509Sorry chud just keep repeating the same claim province wargoal for 400 years
beyond 1500 it feels like infinite levy spam has simply become infinite regulars spam since manpower pools are both impractically large, recovery by almost entire deployed force every month and the enemies retreat with only 10-20% casualties even in decisive victories. I'm not going to get ratfucked by keeping all my armies in one giga stack taking attrition just so I can hit the 10x instastackwipe numbers since that's impractical for a multi-front war which invariably everything mid/late game turns into. great game paradox

so have they said whether they'll fix ai aggression from 1.0.10 or is the game going to be a blobber from now on

>>2286555bailiff is a good source of proximity, maybe russia has some other one, i didnt play them
>>2286568It's odd because the basic bitch ones really shouldn't be that expensive. Meanwhile maintaining them is cheap as fuck. Honestly all infrastructure should have their maintenance costs tweaked up, just look at how much effort and money is needed IRL to keep things like train stations clean and running smooth.
>>2286555build RGOsbuild profitable industries like tools, cloth and papermanage your laws and estate privileges so they have both high satisfaction and high maximum tax (especially burgers and peasants)
>>2286570It's not worth it unless you are giga autismo. From Age 1-3 you can just spam heavy cavalry(with supply wagons if you're going on the offensive) and win all your battles. In Age 4-6 artillery gets good. Age 6 flying batteries are ridiculously overpowered even after the devs blanket nerfed cannons.
>>2286570You google "eu5 army composition" and hope one of the top results is a reddit post where some autist has meticulously calculated the most optimal setup for each era. If there is none then you just fill your flanks with a ton of cavalry for the first 2-3 eras and then spam artillery like never before, only maintaining enough infantry to protect your artillery.
>>2286555Isn't the whole point of playing Russia that you have a lot of proximity reduction modifiers? Are they all gated behind later ages?

>>2286604not really plus you want more pops in general since ruling more pops gives you more dynasty score and great power score
>>2286604absolutely not, culture conversion is relatively fast, like integration

dont make my mistake and dont continue feeding new territory to the same colonial vassal, they will be getting 0 control on most of it
i now realize that the game kind of sucks in that its extremely inefficient to have any territory under your direct control that is far away from your capital.You should be giving away all your colonies and any other territory to the AI like a good little cuck.

>>2286672I don't actually know, I think you pick one of the little tribes north of persia and wait for the event that spawns him
Has anyone played portugal in 1.0.8/10? I've restarted a few times to avoid getting instantly rivaled by castille and it hasn't worked out. I really have no interest in a campaign fighting them.
>>2286672I think he's a courtier in one of Chagatai's vassals, Barlas I think is the nameThere seems to be a chance he randomly dies though, Rise of Timur never happened at all in my game so some guys from azerbaijan ended up forming Persia later (then jobbed to farsi sunni rebels)
>>2286679so how do i play them?
>>2285192That's such a dumb cope. If medieval France was so shit at war they wouldn't have utterly dominated the wholeass continent for this long
I think I'm gonna play Hungary and kill t*rkicDOGS.Yep.
>Automate my market>No trades happening:)
they need an 'automate marriages' button, along with a slider that lets you set the age range or w/e for marriages
>>2286694>>2286672just pick chagatai or one of it's vassals, then in 1350~ Timurid grows up and you get an event to tag switch
>>2286677Okay, I gave up and just used YesMan to force a defensive league. They seriously need to add events for iberia or something at some point. The problem is that historically in 1337 Spain and Portugal weren't allies, so in that sense the game is correct, but there are really no systems in the game for undoing rivalries either, so once castile rivals you are basically locked into hostilities for the entire duration of the campaign.
>>2285589That was such a chad move. Is there any comparable moment in history? A monarch so beloved he just marches into the capital after having been exiled, turning everyone who was sent to capture him to his side along the way.
>>2286677rival their rivals and improve opinions immediately, worked for me on my first try. although defensive league is way better than ally, especially now with the insanely aggressive AI
>>2286704Takes a while sometimes. The auto trade AI is also retarded, though.
>>2285589>>2286715holy basedNapoleon truly was a CHAD
>>2286713>no undoing rivalriestrueI was playing GB and sold my mainland land off to focus on the isles and improved relations with France to like 160, still would not un-rival me.
>>2286722>>2285589>>2286715that picture is fake
>>2286724I don't believe you.
>>2286699You have it backwards. They were shit at war precisely because they were so dominant. Even as late as the 18th century the French were supremely arrogant and turned the whole continent against them in their belief they were invincible. They only caught back up in periods where they adopted innovations from the smaller states of Europe caught up in constant competition, who actually had to do that in order to survive, instead of relying on their natural wealth and population to deal with every threat.
>>2286677That's easily avoidable with the "profess trust" + copy their rivals + max diplo spending and than you get an alliance with Castille within a year max. The real issue is that Castille will randomly break your alliance sometimes and make you miss all the events that need you to be allied with Castille at X date. What sucks is even without Castille attacking you, you still have an earthquake around 1350~ that destroys nearly ALL your buildings in all your cities. Legit do not build anything until after the earthquake.>>2286704That's easy to fix, make a billion manual trades up to capacity than remove the "lock this trade" button and next month tick the market will use up all trade capacity in most profitable trades fixing everything.>>2286707Just use the mod for it, Ironman mode is a meme anyways
>>2286730I professed trust and rivaled morocco before unpausing and Castille still immediately rivaled me.
>>2286728>They were shit at war precisely because they were so dominant. Even as late as the 18th century the French were supremely arrogant and turned the whole continent against them in their belief they were invincible. And it took 7 coalitions to eventually take them down (back to the status quo pre-revolution).
>Make too many fiefdoms early game>At first they were manageable, but every year that pass have them increase their "power vs overlord" modifier>There is now no way to get them loyal againBut they still pump my monarch stats to 100/100/100, so I guess it's fine.
>>2286739Didn't they already patch that out?
>>2286739>>There is now no way to get them loyal againIt's called the right of conquest. Vassals hate this one weird trick to command absolute loyalty.
>>2286744Imagine buying this game and having their half-assed patches forced onto your game randomly.Just going from 1.0 to 1.07 broke important situations for my country (western schism & wars of religions).

Grifters and China watcher accounts that spend all their time posting about "monitoring the deteriorating situation in China" seized on it and ever since then, the theorized number of chinks has been getting lower every year. I think the latest schizo theory is there are only 600 million chinks because of the coofvirus
