Do I need to wait until the age of reformation to enact the religious laws in the HRE?
you can cockblock your rivals of different religion from building colonies by spamming missionaries in the provinces they are trying to colonize. they will convert their pops too, effectively blocking them from getting the required percentage of right religon and culture
>>2326692vgh... I wish we lived in this world....
This value is bullshit.
>>2326696The fact that Bohemia can even have half of Italy as direct vassals is retarded enough on its own
>>2326696have you tried annexing some vassals (or making some fiefdoms instead)
>>2326697We're all under the same title, it's not like they're Russian princes.>>2326699Theres no reason to annex them.
>>2326692Dare I ask what happened in Bohemia and Brandenberg
>>2326700>Theres no reason to annex them.Then there's no reason for you to complain about the loyalty malus
>>2326702Luxembourg won.>>2326703It's still bad game design, they think they are stronger than me despite obviously being much weaker. Less a complaint because it ultimately doesn't matter but it makes no sense.
How are you supposed to compete with China
>>2326705You aren't, you're supposed to realise they will naturally always be on top.
>>2326704it's good game design but worded poorly.Having a retarded amount of vassals would naturally make controlling all of them more difficult and result in them working together to reduce your influence on them all.
>>2326705conquer them.
>>2326705Dismantle them
>>2326705I just looked at your map closely and what the fuck happened to Bohemia and why is Magdeburg all over the place
>>2326707>current strength of all vassalsThey aren't stronger than me period. It is not in anyway related to what you are talking about which is something else entirely and not a mechanic.
>>2326711A miracle or he has the rise of Habsburg mod.
>>2326712hence the "worded poorly" part.I understand your IQ is in the single digits, but please try to keep up.
so being a vassal is basically game over and you will get annexed sooner or later?there's no way to ask a foreign power to support your independence and if the suzerain has enough money to just max out diplomatic spending I never even get below 50% loyalty
New tinto talk, this time featuring economy, food and estates rebalancinghttps://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/tinto-talks-extra-economy-more-23rd-of-january-2026.1896543/>goods production efficiency now depends on input raw goods in markets>goods demand from estates rebalanced>goods now cost less trade capacity to import, raw goods cost more>Potential tax base renamed into "Wealth">untaxed money from locations now goes to estates, making them more powerful in low control territories >Paesant Enfranchisement mechanic introduced, which dictates how much money nobility steals from paesants, tied to Free Subjects vs Serfdom values>proximity nerfed from rivers and several sources of cost reductions >bailiffs are not a proximity source anymore, they instead give +20% local control and there's a limit on how many of them you can build>new buildings that act ad mini capitals that provide 80 proximity, limited in number by advances, contry rank, reforms, privileges >game now tracks if a location has a road network reaching your capital or not (?)>food decay modifier added, which depends on climate and hostile armies presence>doubled population growth from stored food, changed food purchase logic prioritizing starving provinces>RGO food production maluses for towns and cities removed
>>2326711Bohemia is largely my fault because I went in to grab Silesia early on, and then they got hit by both Austria backstabbing them and a coalition war immediately afterward. I left them alone mostly after that though so AI Austria took that by themselves
>>2326700>>2326705why tf is the game so brown? to resemble their workforce? the average player?
>>2326718>we want markets to be different>if you don't have local materials then you'll be bad at producing them>80% mats is only -4% efficiencythat's fucking nothing
>Estates now keep a bit more money around, before investing in buildings, and the amount of wealth they have impacts their power directly. So if you have low control you will have powerful estates reducing your crown power and abilities even further.So they're reinforcing the vassal spawn meta early game even harder.Start game, release vassals everywhere with low control.Epic
>>2326716Just lower your loyalty.
actual good change
>>2326705with paradox implementing a lot of dynamic flags in the game it's a little disappointing that PLC doesn't have the historical flag with the CoA of the ruling king in the middle
>>2326723Good thing the relative strength to liege is calculated accurately :^)
>>2326723creating custom subjects needs to go, it would fix a lot of the vassal spam
>>2326727>completely change the base system the entire game was balanced oncan't wait for the bugs
>>2326732TSMT, only historical or plausible vassals should be in the game, I never liked this "causally release a province as vassal" thing.
Now if only they fixed the ai town spam in underpopulated regions i.e. most of Europe.
>>2326736>He thinks they did any balance passes
>>2326732it wouldn't because cores for historical vassals all seem to disappear after 20 years
>>2326729vassals should be treated like another estateCreating too many vassals gives them more "power" at your court and reduces your ability to control them all effectively.
>>2326739It's not just Europe
>>2326727yet another knee jerk reaction that will break the rest of the game
>>2326744reread the post.
>>2326727I don't like the Baliff change, limited urban proximity sources are nice but seperating them between land/naval seems silly.
>>2326727good lord, what happened to France?

Where will this money go if I form HRE? Is it just deleted? What's it even do I can't find anything interacting with it besides the fact money goes into it.
>>2326727>worked mostly fineI assume none of the playtesters ever played as Austria, himlaya or any other place with a mountain range in the middle of it
>>2326646now with pic
>>2326777Not bad, do you not get a special CB to rapidly conquer all of China when you have the mandate?
>>2326771Castile has a giant mountain range right in the middle of it.
>>2326781The CB is there and it's flexible (though it's bad at generating warscore because it's Show Superiority) ; but you're still entirely limited by how fast your Cabinet can Integrate & by the size of each Peace DealSo you don't really conquer much faster than in other regions of the globe, all things considered. Idk if Ming/True Chinese tags have some mechanisms to make it faster.
>>2326786They have the red turban CB.
>>2326786Yeah that's why I was asking since I wanted to claim the mandate as Spain in a run.
>>2326790You definitely should for the FREE bonuses anyway, you don't even need to expand in China

>>2326736>>2326745Game hasn't been balanced since everyone figured out they could just mass release vassals and probably stop playing long before age of revolutions makes that untenable
>>2326796Nor has it been balanced since they made levies comically bad.
Wigs soon.
>>2326798Does anyone remember why they did that? Regulars were worthless so they made them op just because?
>>2326794Why do I feel Brazilian hands typed this post

>>2326800>Regulars were worthlessThey weren't and that perception of them is why we got that shitty change. They started to be good with tech but everyone complained loud enough they got gutted same thing for the hyper agressive ai. Release was in many ways better than the current state of the game.

Anyone else who toggle through army commanders without military traits till you get one you like after a battle? Mainly going for the siege trait and the one that makes your armies march faster

reminder that the fort defense ability also influences how quickly the AI ill occupy your non fort provinces, aka you will be more likely to intercept an enemy armies about to occupy a province the more defense ability you got
>>2326817I use auto asign and let RNGesus decide if I win or lose just like in ye ol' Liqqy Two.
the 10% siege bonus coupled with -50% you get from full offensive becomes so much worse when you learn you can easily get +35% siege bonus with no penalty to forts just through spy networks and getting a general with the siege trait
>>2326827the RNGesus of parking your armies on mountains and across rivers, done in every paradox game but victoria 3 famously devoid of those armies
>>2326828That makes the siege ability better, not worse
>>2326828It's missinformation propagated by a retard who I don't think even plays the game.
>>2326836That -50% fort defense is better than -10% movespeed*
>>2326835yeah? you don't have to make your forts be built of papier mache to have a very good speedup of sieges
>>2326727Look I like this change, but everyone can see how the devs have no fucking clue what their vision for the game is, right?
>>2326836>>2326837everything alright there chap?
>>2326842yes
>>2326842they've a vission alright, it's just shit like Johans previous visions and I'm glad the forums are bullying him out of it
>>2326837every time I play in the mediettarian and the AI uses its slave catching armies to besiege every Island or isolated patch of coastal I own I'm really happy my forts last longer instead of shorterand unless you're an inland empire you're going to move your armies by sea
>>2326844>Michel DuboisIs this intentional?
>>2326848Playing on med fires up my ancestral hatred of moors.
>>2326854No.
the most annoying thing right now I believe is that when you close the battle popup the game will unpause automatically. That's one of the strangest things they did because they must have actively programmed for the game to work like that instead of it just remaining paused
>>2326739they should remove the RGO penalty all together and find a different way to balance out town or city spam. it's not like half of Europe's prominient cities were founed for being placed atop of some gold mine or other resource
>>2326868RGO's while an okay mechanic honestly should've just been replaced with vic3's multilayer good system tied to arable land and natural resources. Choosing between potatoes or wheat in an area is silly.
>>2326870but that wouldn't have let them add the cool Absolutism mechanic that makes you spread cattle (lmao) in america or spam peppers in Europe
>>2326873
>>2326873why would you mp this game for anything besides roleplay reasons? Not defending this game but from the little I know about hoi4, the most MP-friendly paradox games, you usually have to read through a minor book of house rules whenever you join a lobby
>>2326873That sounds good, there shouldn't be a "benefit to being tall". Great powers are great powers. If you play a middle power you have to bandwagon with other statelets against the big boys or ally one, and if you're a tiny power your first job is merely achieving relevance. It makes sense.
>>2326877eu4 was a superior mp game since you didn't need house rules. hoi4 is one of the worst because you do need house rules or its aids.
>>2326879you seem to work on the assumption that the purpose of a strategy game is to model reality and not give players a satisfying reward whatever strategy they choose, as long as that strategy is not heavily discouraged
>>2326881uhhhh this is a simulation game?
>>2326881awful take for a historical simulation.
Dios mio
>>2326886looks like the average slavic woman irl
>>2326881Choosing to play a small power in an MP is not a strategy. It's choosing to play a different type of game. Which EU5 lets you do. It's like playing Belgium in Vicky 2. You can call that "tall" but really it's just "small". You don't get to be as strong as the other guys, that's the point of playing them. If you don't want to be weaker than everyone around you... try to get rostered on a bigger country.It's different from SP. An MP group might put inexperienced players on small countries so they don't unbalance the diplomacy for example. Or someone plays a middle power because it borders their friends and they can more effectively cooperate.
>>2326888They've all been cuties in my experience, even the hags. She reminds me of an Irish women though.
>>2326888easy on the vodka ivan
They need to have a back line for artillery, I don't know why they decided that it was okay for artillery to fight on the front line when they had this problem solved in Eu4.
saw this on xitter, so is the game FIXED?
>>2326899I don't really get the point of this. I know redditors have been begging for "more sources of proximity" from day 1 but I still really don't get it. It just gives big countries extra control. If the extra control is meaningful, then that's just enabling faster snowballing. If it's not meaningful, then why add this? All it ever seemed like to me was asking for cheats basically. Give me more control, more money, and I need it faster. But why?I guess this is the downside of deciding future game design decisions by what the top mods are. The top mods are always cheat mods.
>>2326899Makes big countries even stronker.

yea, there are multiple sources of control now, but johan also nerfed the percentage of tax base you get to collect, and gave the rest of it to the estatesi doubt it will end up changing the balance meaningfully
>>2326924I don't even know what to say. This has never happened to me before, being mistaken for the local poopdickschizo. The links were saved in this thing called google search, which I typed in because I recalled seeing them, and assumed you wanted evidence of this fact, in the form of hyperlinks. You're reading way too far into things, of course the forums also asked for it. What even is your point?
>>2326931that anons just autistic (in the bad way)

>>2326931then what does reddit have to do with anything if it's a popular requesst outside of the /r/etards?
Today's tinto talks legit has crazier changes than most of what they announced for agesI'm craving this patch so badly
>>2326946Well it is the 1.1.
>>2326894They should've had multiple rows like a chessboard to simulate battle movement. Arty would have the longest range, cav would be able to close the distance the fastest with light cav being the most mobile. Ranged infantry would have range but be vulnerable to close quarters and cav until the invention of the bayonet. Pre-bayonet melee would sitbehind ranged and fire a volley to do damage before approaching (if attacker) etc. We got hours in the game now we could have a less abstract combat system to justify all the new units.
Proximity system will probably get phased out of the game in few years
>>2326894the current meta is that you fill one flank to the brim with whatever your flank with is for flanks and then put in artillerty since the cavalry units will always reach the front before artillery does and so you'll still have the artillery scoring kills before the battle starts
>>2326946Everything before this was kneejerk changes while they tard wrangled Johann to make an actual patch for his early access release courtesy of David Moneybag$$$ CEO of paradox.
>>2326952I think it'll still be there but there will be a lot of new sources for it.I actually like the idea for it, you use guys you trust to keep everyone in line but since none would like to micro manage moving a bunch of guys around the map you have a static source of proximity instead
>>2326956stop blaming the ceos or executives for the state of the game. it wasn't their idea that macrobuilder was useless bloat and everyone actually build every army manually. If Johan had six more months he wouldn't have solved any of the bugs, he would have added a million more flavour artist events.
>>2326958>stop blaming the ceos or executives for the state of the game. it wasn't their idea that macrobuilder was useless bloat and everyone actually build every army manually. If Johan had six more months he wouldn't have solved any of the bugs, he would have added a million more flavour artist events.
>>2326958the extremely early release does seem to signal that the execs don't trust johan
>>2326961Then replace him or send someone to oversee him.
>>2326961They couldn't let him be THAT successful. He'd be too dangerous.
>>2326961Didn't they shit up a release last year? Needed backup so early release.
>>2326961They had to cushion the landing for VTMB2.
>>2326962>>2326961>>2326963>>2326964They promised a Q4 game release to the shareholders.so it had to be done
>>2326967This, only way it's Johanns fault is if they asked him "Is it ready for release?" and he said yes. Him being slow to develop isn't an arguement when they can send someone to take over the project if it's progressing too slow.
>>2326951I don't know if that would be a perfect solution, just another line seems it would fix the problem. But your system is 1000 times better than what we have.
>>2326978Yeah but the main issue with that is arty doing mad damage for free as long as you have enough infantry to fill the frontline which isn't how most artillery pieces of the time worked unless they had elevation. At least in the system I propose they'd still be vulnerable. But of course eu4 style combat was really balanced even if it used an absurd amount of arty so it would be easier to do that.
>>2326961if they didn't trust him they would have put someone else in charge, unless Johan got dirt on them.they just wanted a quick cash grab and thought Johan would have learned his lesson after the previous three releases
>>2326959did the execs force Johan to not include the macro builder?

>>2326716lower loyalty with the cabinet action and sabotage relations, you can form an international org for your independence
>>2326737whats weird about creating titles/polities?
>>2327344The game depicts an era that transitions from feudal states to early modern states where the crown centralized as much power as possible, managed by a professional bureaucracy and not the nobility. It is completely antithetical to history and one of the game's core premises that rulers should eagerly expand the feudal system in an era that's revolves around them trying to restrain and destroy it. They've just balanced the game so that a counterintuitive way is the most effective way to play. Imagine if you got a ton of pop migration and bonuses for losing wars and the best strategy would be to intentionally lose all wars - it's completely retarded design but gamers usually feel a compulsion to metagame so that's what they'll do.
>>2327347court wizard limits are the issue
>>2327349I don't think there's a single issue that can be blamed for the game not working 'properly', it's a combination of many things. Estates are toothless, subjects are too loyal, cities are too loyal, armies are cheap as fuck, mercenaries are pointless, early wars are essentially free to due how levies work. At some point you also have to balance realism vs fun, because no one actually wants to play feudal tardwrangle simulator 2000 (that's what CK is for).Court wizards aren't even the issue in that sense, even if you had an unlimited amount of them due to how proximity and control works it's still a better idea to release most land as vassals because they'll provide you with more money than if you had owned the land directly.
>>2327366It is strange that owning low control land will nuke your crown power and now enrichen your estates but handing off the same land to be de jure ruled by others does nothing to your crowns power, it will actually make you stronger
>>2327347That doesn't address the post what so ever
>>2327367I'm not an expert at medieval history (and systems worked differently in different kingdoms) but vassals working they way they are right now seems very ahistorical. To my understanding it absolutely was not a thing that vassals regularly paid taxes to their king based on their annual income, not did they indefinitely provide soldiers free of charge, but it wouldn't be fun to play the game if you booted up France and your actual personal income was like 15 ducats and after 20 months of war your vassals just withdraw their levies unless you give them more money (which you have to borrow because your income is so low) or more privileges.>>2327372The last line does.
>>2327374It just doesn't. It's not ahistorical, silly or dumb to make an arbitrary area a separate title, polity substate or vassal. That's how it has always worked historically and still does today.
>>2327375My bad, I thought you were the guy talking about court wizards so I mixed up the posts. Regardless of that you're incorrect. There was a historical shift between how conquest worked and the first quarter of so of the game is around this time. The game takes place during a time were Europe was moving away from feudal polities to early modern central states. The rise of urbanization and the founding of many universities led to a new class of literate, educated lawmen that could staff the government and the crown was able to move away from a model where they enfiefed nobility with land in exchange for military service, instead the crown directly owned the land, administrated by civil servants. That's why you're supposed to move away from levies to regulars and (if they were worth the money, which they are not) mercenaries. Conquering new territories doesn't mean just making the previous owner swear fealty to you, it means replacing them with the crown managing the new lands directly. That is one of the primary differences between the early modern states of the renaissance and the old feudal society of the high middle ages.
Johan is improving the game... without making it DLC only?He is a changed man.
>>2327393Wait for the patch to hit. If you just read pre release TT you'd think eu5 was a good game.
>>2327391Bad reading comprehension explains all of your posts I suppose, not worth responding further. Concession accepted
>>2327375It is ahistorical since those guys weren't slavishly loyal to you like in the game
>>2327406Read the posts again before responding with off topic information
>>2327409when did people in this time hand out duchies as vassals? When the French retook Normandy they made it a royal title, they didn't hand it out to some other guy to rule.
>>2326737I think it worked better in EU4 where you had a limit for how many vassals you could create and creating one meant you lost an opportunity somewhere else. Aslo there was a real cost to integrating vassals. For the countries who could create unlimited vassals, like Byzantium and the Turks, it was always part of some ridiculous power creep and they seem to have thought that was a good thing in EU5
Just started playing, is it possible to increase control with harbors like in M&T instead of roads?
>>2327415it's way better to get control via sea, you should move your capital to a port even
>>2327415Yes
>>2327415yeah but you need to patrol the seas with seas to get close maritime presence and till you get light ships during the renaissance pirates are probably going to nuke all your maritime presence
they could probably deal with a lot of the vassal spam problem by just making them strengthen and pay money to your nobles estate. Delegate power all you want but whatever guy you make into a local prince will be conspiring with the rest of your nobles estate
How am I supposed to make bank from colonial nations?
>>2327146No, the run would be pioneering the methods. Which will be harder with the food production change to towns.
>>2327146just knock down all local food RGOs, build non food producing buildings and raise local Levies. Also place your armies in that trade market to make them eat up any remaining excess food.
>>2326842They have no design document.I'm sure they have a vision. But actually accomplishing it is like trying to fish blindfolded and wearing giant mits.
>>2327461The issue with that is that civil wars are pathetic. They are annoyances, not actual threats. Mostly for the same reasons they always are.
>>2327461It would be more accurate if they didn't pay you any money and their war contributions were temporary.
>>2327472they don't get regulars, right? I think they balanced civil wars and a lot of things around levies not being pure trash
>>2327476they should probably be able to change their allegations or make a separate peace if they hate you or think the war is going poorly.they really gave us a guy who pays you 20% of his income, is loyal to you till death and who you can within reasonable limits create as many as you want of.It almost seems to be by design since they do it in their in house games>>2326727
>>2327463You trade back cocoa/chili/tobacco from america and cloves/pepper from asia. You won't get much money until you get trade buffs (range, maint, efficiency, crown power)
>>2327483Do I make sure to get my filthy hands on their trade center or do I have other ways of getting their trade power?
>>2327485you could get trade advantage with trade ships and foreign trade buildings, but conquering is faster
You may not like it but this is what peak performance France looks like in 1337
>>2327479They're also imperator civil wars which were designed around loyalty system and you could have your ace general with a doomstack join them.
>>2327500How much of your diplo capacity does this take up? Seems like you've consigned yourself to not conquering any new land for the next 100+ years while you slowly take back the land you gave away>>2327146Best way I can think of is to drag wars out as long as possible, keeping a single unit on each enemy location for the food and satisfaction maluses. Eventually you'll be forced to peace out, then wait out the truce and do it all again.
>>2327503resource system is also a carbon copy of imperator's with some slight variation, though you've less ways to boost food and cities are far easier to build so the access food starts to become acute late game. Every time I blob into a new market the notification always says it's out of food if late game.
>>2327511>How much of your diplo capacity does this take up? Seems like you've consigned yourself to not conquering any new land for the next 100+ years while you slowly take back the land you gave awayIt's like 2% over the cap but it'll go away as soon as the government reform finishes. You don't have to give that much land away though, you can keep shit closer to Paris and just keep vassalizing new targets in wars without it being an issue.
>>2327514Well the only way to get an urban food resource in imperator was a bug with the ai afaik. So if you play CHYNA you build cities everywhere and have infinite food due to pop size.
When I occupy enemy provinces they're doing fine but as soon as they occupy mine they get a 2%< mortality rate by year or more. Am I missing something important that makes my armies a lot nicer than theirs?
>>2327518ai might be actually doing recovery efforts.
>>2327517imp used the same system as EU5 where the food produced in a territory was used to feed everyone in that province. It was easy to set up a farming territory and move a lot of slaves there to bring food up. Also you could directly import food to a province by trading with Food RGOs. I'm pretty sure that manually trading food RGOs in eu5 doesn't actually move any food, only the algorithm does that.
>>2327524You still couldn't get the super cities you could in 5 though. Gamen needed arable land or else places that had food problems like china never do.
>>2327500it's a joke that this abomination has the loyalty to remain stable and functionaldecentralization was a mistake>>2327515theres also the +20% diplo cap tech in the first tree
>>2327532Are you sure about that? I remember being able to get them just by getting more import routes, though maybe my cities never went far enough
>>2327523I don't think so, when my mini vassals were occupied they lost a tenth of their population through the war
>>2327549Might be wrong, been while since I played imperator.
>>2327555did you play it after the final patch that made the game decent?
>>2327500>>2327534it's weird they saw people doing insane things like joining the HRE as china just to get that vassal swarm and then decided every single country in EU5 should get to form one from the start of the game
>>2327560Yeah unless you mean the one they did years later.
>>23275662.0 patch yeah. may have to go back and try it, despite its shotcomings I think it was more a stable nationbuilder than eu5
>>2326909100 years into the game you'll be so short on characters there wouldn't even be enough to assign as governors without absorbing your vassals. But yeah, I agree, the building should open up a character assignment or something, and they should be very susceptible to corruption.
Are there any bookmark mods worth checking out?
>>2327623they patched that problem
>>2327534>it's a joke that this abomination has the loyalty to remain stable and functionalWith some exceptions like Philippe Augustus that's kind of how the French state looked for the entire Capetian period thoughbeit
>>2327534That is how feudal governments worked.
>>2327656I don’t get why the Russians have no problem breaking out of the yoke but Kiev just can’t stop sucking tartar cock
>>2327677Kyiv starts as a tributary, not as part of the yoke.Tribs are essentially vassals and thus have the same problem as all the little french, ilkhan, and yuan vassals in that they'll never ever ever rebel from their overlords even if their overlord has 1 location and the subject has 0 loyalty for centuries
Some intern on tinto really likes vassal swarming and every time some broaches the issue that they need to balance that he threatens to blow the whole place up
>>2327647And they are dirt and almost lost the throne to England
Just read the dev diary. There's a strong possibility that we are back. Unfortunately noghan won't do anything about city spam though.
I need a campaign to tide me over till 1.1.Please recommend me a country and a goal?
>>2327731Mamluks; revive Israel
>>2327734Is Israel even a tag in eu5?
>>2327742Just flip jew and spread samaritian or whatever the culture with hebrew language is.
>>2327742it is not>>2327743>Samaritan>Jew
>>2327745>whatever the culture with hebrew language is.
>>2327748there are like a dozen cultures with Hebrew language, Samaritan is a religion and not a culture, and I repeat>Samaritan>Jew
>>2327752Booting the game to find it for your autistic ass
>>2327752Here you go nigger. Samaritan, the only culture with Hebrew language. You may play Mizrahi and speak arabic like a cuck if you want but this is the closest you can get to an Israeli state ingame.
>>2327742There's a mod that adds it. It has good filter controls so you can turn off everything but the one formable you're planning to form, if you want. Otherwise the AI can do some silly things, like France saying fuck the Pope and turning into the Gallic Empire 50 years in.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3616070040
>>2327757How do I propagate the jewish religion to make it large enough to switch to?
>>2327757>flips Samaritan>doesn't go SamaritanISHYGDDT>>2327761you set the game rule to allow free conversion between religious groups
>>2327761All you can do is change game rule so you may just switch to it. If you consider that cheating, well you can't.

>>2327734You can't revive something that never existed>>2327757There is no such thing as "mizrahi" or "ashkenazi" all of these are zionist made up terms, jew is a religion not a race, racialization of judaism was made up by colonizing white european jewsThe socalled """mizrahi""" are just arab jews
>Also why is there no Punjab nation? I find that offensivethere is thoughbeit
>>2327896>jew is a religion not a raceWow, you people really are as dumb as they say you are.
>>2327901Typical abuse from a white privileged colonizer. Rich white jews owe reparations to poor brown jews of color.
>>2327896>are just arab jewsWeird then their fellow Arabs kicked them all out
When are they going to give me more control over diplomacy automation, I should be allowed to let the computer handle the boring busywork while I make the big decisions without the game fucking yanking my spy networks away from me the moment I make them
Does anyone else hope they don’t patch out the “annex revolter” bug? It’s so useful.
>>2326718>game now tracks if a location has a road network reaching your capital or not (?)Crazy this didn't happen from the start.but also across a straight I hope it respects as a road or close to it
>>2327975I don't understand that change, wasn't that the entire fucking point of roads to begin with? Sure maybe they help with troop movement but their primary purpose was buffing proximity to your capital, no?
>>2327983The proximity calc is still in the game, it tracks the "has road" buffs now with "has road" and "has road that leads to capital". You used to be able to cheese it by just making 1 long roads between 2 provinces
>>2326881The purpose of the game is to make your country larger in area
>>2327988Why wouldn't a road from a a harbour connected to the capital have the same effect as a road from the capital

they should let johan think for a bit longer and add governors with a loyalty type system
>>2328073johan is bleeding players, he can't wait another month
What do you do as government reforms as Russia? I started as Novgorod and I've been taking the culture-specific ones, currently running Veche Republic, Merchant Republic, Sudebnik, Voivode, Oprichnina, and Fixed Vassal Obligations to keep my 30+ vassal swarm under control. It's the 1630s and I'm not sure if Veche Republic or Merchant Republic are worth a damn any more.
>>2328020Thanks a lot anon. Cheat Menu Pro solved that. Are there any other essential QOL mods?
>>2328100NTA but the QoL mods I use are:Glorp UI, Nice Wide Mapmode UI, Good Icons, Thick borders, Enhanced Papermap, Better Road Builder, Better label placement, Expanded Build View, Dense Tech Tree, Name over water, Parliament Auto-Pause When Failing, More Quotes, Cheat Menu Pro
>>2328100>>2328106The only issue I have with Cheat Menu Pro is that the character modification menu doesn't work, since you can't pick any character. It's annoying, since with console there is no way to remove traits for example.
>road going all the way from Oslo, north norway, down to Cairo means Cairo can have an inland proximity source>A Paris connected by Roads to the capital in London by roads to Cains and a short trip across the strait cannot have an inland proximity source I find this to be extremely haphazardous or to be affirming to some autistic hyper fixation about how the game should work and I expect Johan to just keep randomly fucking and unfucking modifiers for the rest of his time as lead developer
>>2328067I believe the logic is that Bailiffs are local nobles you give a big stick and empower them to use it on everyone else. They already empower the crown by increasing control, which means more crown power, but they are also skimming off some of the taxes they gathering and using it to strengthen themselves and their peers. It us a very weird logic since handing iut ducal titles and giving the same nobles even more local control does not empower the noble estate and building counting houses, aka expanding the bureaucracy, does not directly empower the burghers
>>2328121Think what the counting houses are counting. Burghers don't benefit from increased bureaucracy
>>2328118are you retarded
>>2328132Tell me where I went wrong
>>2328118>ok but what about [arbitrary shit I just made up that nobody has ever done]I think it's a pretty reasonable design choice desu, you need some kind of limitation on this
>>2328138Is a road from Berlin to Venice a more believable example? Or just Prague to Milan, likely to happen due to HRE shenanigans but further apart than Paris and London?
>>2328142I see your point on how the English channel specifically is an awkward cutoff point or allowing land governors, but at the Paris-London scale you don't exact need a separate proximity source, particularly late game. And if you're so blobmaxxed that your capital is much further inland and you still control England, I think you're so far beyond the envelope of how most games are played that it's an acceptable writeoff.
>be France>conquer England>make naval governor>have full control over Angleterrezut alore that was tres difficulté
>>2328145Perhaps. But they are nerfing all the old proximity helpers and Johan has a long history if poorly implemented patches who then gets even worse rebalances
Reminder that Ruler General is a noobtrap. Unless you want to push mire towards naval or land tou want your king safely in your capital with max upgraded hospitals so he can live longer and you can mary off more of your grandkids and great grandkids to produce additional purple triangles
>>2328207>Unless you want to push mire towards naval or land You literally always want to do that>You want your king safely in your capital with max upgraded hospitals so he can live longerYou don't need to set him to combat, just park him with a honor guard of a single transport or 50 horses in the capital.
>>2328213Is there even a single historical example of a ruler admiral? Kings often led armies but navies always seem to get delegated to someone else.
>>2328218Plenty of cases, doges of Venice were admirals on more than one occasion in office and often successful admirals would be doges later. During hundred years war you had king Edward lead the navy against France and then later against Spain. Denmark had some guy who lead the navy against Sweden. You got plenty of older examples too like battle of Actium with Mark Antony and Cleopatra. Royals of land powers could also be at least nominal leaders of fleets in many occasions such as during transit and even in battles. Naval leaders are rare for the simple fact that often times naval warfare was a full time job while land warfare was seasonal which allows a king to do king stuff and only occasionally lead troops. Everyone knows how to walk but only few know how to sail and frankly land combat was much more important until at least like 1700's by which point navies were far too professional to be led by just some random guy with 0 experience. Sea battles are also more dangerous since there's much less chance of surrender working and you can't just run as easily as you can on land. It's only natural that professional admirals would take the job most of the time.You also don't hear about them for the simple reason that naval leadership is often not heroic or personal, it's more of a ships and place kind of thing. During land combat kings can lead charges and even lose heroically. Naval battles on the other hand are just naval battles mostly remembered by the place it happened not who happened to be present.
>>2328213>You literally always want to do thatnot when you are at or almost at 100 in either direction>You don't need to set him to combat, just park him with a honor guard of a single transport or 50 horses in the capital.you will start bleeding money unless your ruler is leading the army with biggest numbers.
Man the ai sure is granary pilled.
>>2328098in my longest and most successful campaign (1705)...>veche republic>merchant republic>trade office network>diplomatic traditions>oprichnina>sudebnik>statute of monopoliesi think veche is actually trash once you start snowballing and don't need the free unions from picking another country's leader anymore. i swapped to 4-year election succession but never got around to removing the veche reformdiplo traditions was for the extra dip cap when i had a ton of vassals, i also never got rid of that one after annexing them allbank ledgers would have been better than statute of monopolies but i never pushed to 50 capital economy
>>2328253>bank ledgers would have been better than statute of monopolies but i never pushed to 50 capital economyhuh how? I usually get pushed to 50 even when trying to be traditional eco
>>2328260it's been a couple weeks since i played this campaign, but looking at the tooltip now, the simple answer is "apparently i spent 350 years forgetting to switch off of first come first served employment"
>>2328269I swap off that immediately usually, that's why then.
>>2327500In the next patch this isn't possible anymore

If you play the Byzantines here’s your pass:COALITIONS DO NOT MATTERCoalition war? Give war leader exemptions from sound tolls day 1 then revoke it next month.
>>2328272>>2328269I'm new to EU, I noticed the employment button but have no idea what it actually means. What's the benefits of changing it?
>>2328412>If you play the ByzantinesI don't do and never will
>>2328416It changed the order in which your buildings will employ people, and also provides pushes towards certain values. I always choose industrial, then most profitable for the push to capitalism, communalism, and to ensure my key resources are produced.
Some sort of "metropolis" upgrade for the largest cities would be nice. -100% food production, +250 building limit, +200k and 50% pop capacity.Something that represents how certain cities like Constantinople, Beijing, London, or Paris were on a completely different scale from anything else at the time
How do you make this game challenging? I've lost interest in every campaign by the time I hit the age of discovery. You reach the point where you can't lose a war and have so much money it doesn't matter how you spend it so quickly, and it all becomes pointless and tedious.
>>2328502You teach the AI to build the same way a player would. Paradox will never do it.
>>2328504I meant as a player trying to enjoy the game right now.
>>2328512Restart the game every 25-50 years
>at war with another nation>that nation suddenly has a civil war>my army that was inside the defecting area becomes exiled so when I drive them to the parts of the nation that are still intact it can't capture them>my other army is stuck unable to enter the nation I was just a moment ago at war with at all
>>2328534I was able to buy military access but this isn't fucking something I should have to pay for
>>2328536Although it's also a little annoying that it means I have to fight deeper from my own lands, although it's also a massive reduction in their ability to fight
Problem is they fucked up levies so your only three options are max regular and kill everything, don't go regular and xie or find a magical Goldilocks zone where you get just enough regulars to make wars challenging There are no challenges at all, the whole simulation aspect collapses since you can solo China as Korea just by using regulars.
>>2328539Or in short it is like playing the Sims with cheat codes or little girls playing with dolls
>>2328512Abandon the run when you reach 1437
Declaring war, destroying all enemy armies with my regulars, take some land and wait till next war

>>2328730I didn't know it let you integrate regions multiple times.
Been trying to get to grips with this game but everytime I start getting somewhere with it the game throws up some obstacle and tells me a can't do it.>no you can't create a vassal>no you cant seize land>no you can't stop being a vassal>no you can't get any money out of those lands you conquered that are just a few days walk away irl
>>2328746It's my first EU game I've tried and it really feels like it suffers from a no fun allowed Mindset. The penalties for doing literally anything are so high. I wanted something better than Civ and Total war but this is to far the other way
>>2328746>>2328750Maybe the game just isn't for you, and that's okay.
>>2328752It's so close though. If they could just dial back the tedium a little but it'd be great. It's like Knights of Honor 2, it's 80% but the 20% that's missing/not good is too important
>>232876280% there I mean to say
>>2328746Lot of things in the game are just badly designed, UI and game mechanics. Important buttons and information hidden among a lot of useless ones, lots of information is hidden behind a series of toggle windows. If you are used to paradox games and addicted since previous titles it's easy to learn and tolerable, you should probably wait a few years before you check back in since you seem new to the genre. Maybe it's of interest to you that Johan's kneejerk reaction to some forum criticism was to completely break the warfare system, before this game he killed imperator rome
>>2328739Indeed, it can only happen once.
Since this game is just imperator rome 2:0 any ideas for an imperator playthrough? Form Hellas and colonizie the rest of the meddietarian? Turn Judea into a great power? Fart around near the North Sea as some barbarian tribe
1.1 will save the game and turn the mixed reviews on steam into positive ones, r-right?
>>2328816This your first paradox game?
Patch notes 1:1:BalancingWe listened to the criticism that vassals were too easy to manage and now they will declare war on you on day 1 and do it again as soon as the truce ends. Vassals may call in any country they want including your own allies.

>>2328902who are you playing as and what year is it?
>>2328903
>play with the right mods>this happensBased
>>2328933Can't beat the cock.
>>2328840I don't think the trade AI takes that into account at all. It just does what profits the most, which frankly just works 99% of the time. Almost every region you could possibly colonize has the resources to at least upgrade the RGO's. I think there's few areas in central asia and other desert shitholes that just don't have wood where such a thing could be an obstacle but when playing optimally AI should not even attempt to develop any periphery like that with anything but RGO's so basic stuff like wood and stone is more than enough to feed and entire zone.>>2328868Trade menu has the relevant information.
>>2328947Caribbean has no wood or stone at all
>>2328980Why would you lie about something like that?
>>2328983oh hey, there are one of each in Haiti.tough luck if you have a trade center in Cuba
>Adjusting population for my mod>Slap a /3 on everything>Realize that's retardedGuess I'm starting from the beginning again

>>2328947>I think there's few areas in central asia and other desert shitholes that just don't have wood where such a thing could be an obstacleGreenland run is cancerkino since you don't even have the pops to work your RGOs, and even when you invite settlers to do so, all you have is fish, stone, wool and ivory, but it also makes you realize just how retarded the building system is that you can (inefficiently) build nearly everything in the game out of wood.
What do you think is currently going on in Tinto's Barcelona HQ?
This game feels unplayable until the next patch. I just want to play my small nations.
1.1 will save us, trust the plan...

>>2329073Wanting art and money to be separate should not be an issue. You want to keep sucking up to corporate you go right ahead.
>>2329278>Wanting art and money to be separate should not be an issueIt is because that's akin to saying you want there to be world peace and no hunger. Tough shit faggot. The issue is that the scepter and the treasury is fully in the hands of the third estate, and that they have no greater aspiration.
>>2329280>the scepter and the treasury is fully in the hands of the third estate"the third estate" doesn't refer to the merchant class thoughever
1.1 still isn't out?
>>2329289due to release at some point in early February
Does changing the capital remove the capital only buildings?
>>2329278My point was that that anon was likely himself a shareholder in some garbage, and was likely indirectly wishing death upon himself.
>>2329317So there's literally no point to boot up the game until then
>>2329363>this level of obsessed doompostingNot sure if paid shill or some variety of brown seether
>>2329363Using mods has fixed like 75% of my problems with the game. As time goes on it will just get better.But they really need to fix the faggot nigger wartime AI, because I'm so tired of eternally fighting a 3:1 war because all my vassals and allies just suicide their armies leaving me to fight a whole war alone that should've been an easy wipeout from the get go. And colonizing is horrendous right now, literally zero reason to even bother when resource scarcity only matters for iron and tin
>>2329387Why don't you set your vassal AI to passive or defensive?
>>2329389Vassal military stance LITERALLY does nothing
>>2329390Always works for me. Sounds like a skill issue.
>>2329397Tell me more, you gigantic faggot nigger
>>2329399For a game you hate you sure have a lot of hours in it.
>>2329403Never once said I hate the game retard, there just needs to be a lot of overhauls so the game is perfect. One major issue being the AI is dogshit, which is why coalition wars don't matter at all because the AI cannot into stacking their forcesI'm not the anon who was doom posting kek
>>2329405I've declared successful coalitions before. You just need to let armies attach to your combat stack. I did that and crushed france in a coalition war as Tuscany.
>>2329399>933.5 hours in EU5By comparison, working a full time job since EU5 was released (not counting holidays) would've been 488 hours to date. Bruh.
>>2329407>All your allies and vassals suicide into battles because some random OPM with 500 troops got caught by a doomstack>Ten years later their 300 troops come attach to you>You're still fighting 20 years later because they dug a -30% war score hole from battles lost>Because of the 1% it works, means the other 99% of times when it doesn't, means it's working as intended
>>2329410And oh yeah let's not forget merging armies removes attached armies, good luck getting them to come link back up if you need to reinforce your armyyy lmao>Working as intended
>>2329410>projection
>>2329408He's one of those faggots who leaves the game open to rack up playtime so he can post on Reddit to show how much of a hardcore gamer he is.
>>2329370Absolute bait post
>>2329408I have almost 400 hours but I haven't played in a month. No reason to play until the next patch, this is probably why the player count is at rock bottom.
>>2327518Are your provinces buying food from the market? If so, when they get occupied and you can't pay for their food, they starve
>>2329323Please respond
>>2329530Yes :)
>>2329288And what does it refer to then?
DING DING DING!!! IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!! https://steamcharts.com/search/?q=europa
>>2329556Old news, everyone is just waiting for 1.1.Fuck the captcha btw, /vst/ is the one board that shouldn't require you to do 15 verifications
>>2329559Sweet sweet cope
>Rebel tag is in a war against vassal 1>Rebel tag accept white peace with vassal 2>Rebel tag is now at peace and independant.Nice game paradox.
>eu3, the best grand strategy titel to date's still boasting 35 active grand campaigners proof that the curent players no. never mattered to begin with
>>2329614>titel
>colonial nation forms>pastel color>random spanish name>generates no income>does nothing>exports nothing>builds nothingbig shocker that n o one wants to play more than one or two games of this thing
concern trolling the /eu5/ subreddit is now a /gold mine of cheap reddit karma
>>2329627You need to micromanage their market. They can't build or do anything unless you export them just about everything. Manually of course.
can't micromanage the ai countries tho can you.. was the design of this game ever about,.. how well can you min-max against AIs who are also video-gaming ? i suppose it became that with the ddrjakes and what have you on tube but i thought it was supposed to be an historically immersive geopolitical thingie
New Tinto Talk is uphttps://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/tinto-talks-96-28th-of-january-2026.1897673/We have made around 200 content fixes and tweaks for 1.1 ‘Rossbach’.>New disaster for Brandenburg and a dozen new German advances>Tengri get 8 named gods>7 new achievements>Manchurian Setup Rework (Cultures, pops, harbors adjusted in China. New countries added)>Food & Tools in Andes & Mesoamerica (copper tools and jewelry for Native America)>We have worked very intensively towards improving the existing situations, fixing bugs and making tweaks. (too much to summarize, read them yourself. Japan does get some tweaks)>For 2026, we have two main goals in the Content Design team. On the one hand, we’ll keep improving the quality of the base game, with more fixes and improvements, while keeping adding additional free content in the base game patches. In this regard, I think that 1.1 ‘Rossbach’ gives a good idea of what to expect from now on, and what our main field of work is. In this regard, short-term and mid-term, one of our sub-teams will keep working on fixes for the 1.1 Open Beta, while another sub-team has already started working on further setup tweaks for the 1.2 patch - as that’s the part of the CD work that requires more time, as you may know if you followed the Tinto Maps series.>On the other hand, we have already started working on new content for the first DLC, Fate of the Phoenix. It’s soon to start talking about it, but I wanted to let you know that we’re already on top of it, especially for the player who acquired the Premium Edition of EUV.
>>2328564Wonder how many Kurds they got on the studio. This is the probably the strongest and only that matters of the ones posted
>>2329632>>2329635I think you need to retain a patch of land in their market as well. My colony had a crippling shortage of wool and closed down all the sheep farms I tried to build
>>2329676>Player who acquired It would be funny if it was just one guy
>>2329709That would be me
>>2329676*huffs hopium*1.1 w-will save E-EU5....
