Form a Germany today for your brothers in Christ edition
>>2364647First for Johan is a fucking retard
>>2364647>Can't form Germany with all those locations in the German areashit game
>>2364649Latin bros, Italian bros....we aren't true Romans, Greece said so
>>2364647>517/575I see PDX is as retarded as ever about these formations. I wish they would make an actually fluid system.
>>2364649>leaning between italian or helenic spheres>in middle agesHe is not just a retard, he is an entire circus. This is exactly why I didnt buy the game. It is filled with nonsensical ahistorical bullshit. Is it really that hard to open a book and read, huh Johan?
I'm doing the thing!
>>2364666>how dare they release content for a country that is SUPPOSED TO DIE!! I'm SO ANGRY!Fuck off Satan.
>>2364673The idea of embracing latin culture was completely and utterly dead by 14th century in Byzantium. It is retarded to even consider it. That would and should solely be something a Latin Empire does.
>>2364675All I'm reading is >waaaahhhh ahistorical
How to learn eu5 please? It seems so fun but at the same time it has like a million different things in the ui.I admit my only paradox game is hoi4, I learned that game very well. But eu4 and 5 are a completely different beast, they are extremely hard. hoi4 is like babies learning to paint with their fingers, eu5 is like math. Not the hardest thing ever but a big jump from babies learning to paint.AND NO, NO TUTORIAL ON YOUTUBE ACTUALLY HELPS. THE FAGGOTS THAT MAKE THOSE TUTORIALS ARE NERDS WHO ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING THEY ARE DOING, THERE IS NO DIGESTIBLE TUTORIAL FOR ACTUAL NOOBS WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING AT.A good tutorial would be like:>I am gonna explain to you each little thing *zooms in* this thing means thisNo youtuber ever zooms in, they quickly say "we enter this tab" and in less than a second they enter a new part of the menus and you can't even follow it.>this thing affects this country this way, and it affects this other nation in this different wayThis is something they also never do, they all play hungary for the tutorial and just say this thing has centralization number 1, which is good/bad, and doesn't say anything else, doesn't explain anything, doesn't explan why it matters or in what way it differs if we play a different nationPlease help
>>2364677>no you can't expect historical accuracy from a game about historyYou are a normalfag retard. The althistory is only fun when it is based in actual history. Something that retards like you and PDX cannot seem to comprehend. Clearly you need to read more of althistoryforum.
>>2364680just play. easiest way to learn. pick an easy country and read the descriptions of things as you go. automate most everything until you're comfortable looking into doing it manually and pick one thing at a time. Last game I played was EU3 like 10 years ago and that's how I learned
>>2364691And you are an insane autist.
>>2364680Unpause the and the game mostly plays itself, it's an idle game at the core.
if England wins the HYW then they should have an English vs French slider that determines whether they become the shining beacon of civilization that spreads light across the globe or french
>>2364695Better than being a normalfag like you
>>2364699If that helps you sleep at night.
>>2364680There's actually less complexity than you think there is. All the two trillion trade calculations do every month is clog performance having to account for african tribes trading pottery or something
>>2364649Why does every slider have to be 100% advantages at the extreme and 0% at the center
>>2364710Most of them aren't like that.
>started as Pale>got independent from England>somehow got into a union with aquitane>now cannot get out of union because button is missing even though I surpassed them, also cannot delete the Lordship of IrelandIs this bugged? This is an ironman game
>>2364666>>2364675nah you are the retard hereif byz somehow managed to conquer italy and for some reason moved the capital back to rome its pretty obvious the empire would not to be "greek" for long
>>2364767Why would they ever want to move the capital back to Rome?Even Justinian didn't want to do it and the Western Emperors abandoned it for Ravenna long before that tooThe Empire was Greek and there's zero evidence that they ever wanted to be anything but that.RETVRNING TO TRADITION in the fucking 1400s is the most braindead retarded thing imaginable. Literal Goi4 tier nonsense.
>>2364649>hey that sounds like a good modifier. either byzantium can stay insular or start looking towards the west for support at the cost of their traditions>it's actually just roman mah legion larp.it's all so tiresome
>>2364782Why are you so upset that Paradox is giving us content YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO?You think you're ever gonna see Latin Byzantium AI?
>>2364785>givingSelling.
>>2364794Free for me lol. I bought the deluxe edition.
>>2364797so you already paid for it?
>>2364801Well it costs less than the base game plus the 4 DLCs would have cost separately. So I felt it was worth it.
>>2364782Because at the times of Justinian Italy was an actual asshole of empire, a lot of things changed in a milleniaImagine you are a roman emperor in 14 century. Everything is on fire, your empire is surrounded by slavs and turks, everyone is hostile. Somehow you manage reconquer Sicily, a rich land with a lot of people that is mostly safe from external threats. What would you do?And one roman emperor did relocate the capital from Constantinople
Wopantroons will never be roman
>>2364782>theygod are you retardedyou do it as the player, if you dont the values will never push in that direction and you can ignore it
Trade seems busted this update for the early game as long as you can control a trade center. I barely have 5% trade bonuses or anything but it's such a boost to my income
>>2364846I feel like this has more to do with your location than the current patch.
>>2364876It's a pretty barren region except for tabriz and the city had no real buildings. In the beginning I was hovering around 0.30 ducats per trade capacity and it snowballed eventually
>>2364883Doesn't the Persia region have a ton of really good trade goods?
>>2364846It's not that high? Maybe you are just used to the shitty trade in europe
This game is incredible, i finally had time for a real playthrough and it clicked just how much there is to this. Of course it needs a couple of expansions and patches before it peaks.
>>2364935Just like how City Skyline needs that one more patch tweak and building pack to perfectly recreate your hometown.
>>2364936City Skylines was always dogshitThis is more like Sim Cities 4 without the xpac, you snarky little bitch
Thank you Paradox for the generous 10% off EU5 I didn't want your shit game anyway
When are the alt history bookmarks going to roll out? EU4 spoiled the hell out of me in that department.
>>2364767>>2364821>>2364785>>2364677>>2364673If you're white take your ADHD meds and ask your parents to take your tablet away from youIf you're a brownoid, get off our white website and kill yourself
why
>>2364649>>2364666>>2364675>>2364691Isn't this just the equivalent of Byzantium tag-switching to the Latin Empire in eu4?
>>2365007No but kinda yes. The salient point is that a move like that represents moving the game more towards EU4 (e.g. a fun video game) instead of the hypothetical vision of idle game simulator it mostly is right now which makes the simulationists seethe.
>>2365007Latin empire was obviously a venetian/papal puppet state and everyone knew it. Byzzies always were regarded as THE romans, even though at the last century the west saw them as nothing more than a greek kingdomStill called basileus the emperor of the romans thoughRomans making themselves more latin? Eeh, I can kinda see it, if I squint really hard. You know, if the capital is in Italy and there is a renaissance and all. A lot of statues of naked women and men with tiny manhood. Still kinda stupid, but fun I guess
>>2365000Standing amies are expensive, mang. There's a reason all the European powers spent that era in crippling amounts of debt
>>2364649I think it's an interesting enough idea, but what really excites me about it the DLC is the idea of content for bringing back dying religions and I may well buy this DLC I don't really care about soley for that, I wanna see that expanded on in other regions.
>>2364649I didn't expect they would start their alt-history LARP shit so soon. I thought the entire point of EU V was to be more serious and not have this stupid modifier shit anymore.Also the modifiers are literally reversed. A more western Byzantine Empire would have better knights. But I see what they are doing. The Latinitas societal value doesn't make you "Western", it makes you more ROMAN LEGIONARIES STRONK.
>>2365000As much as we talk about gunpowder being revolutionary for warfare, we have to understand artillery pieces were stupidly expensive in the 16 and 17 century. Even the biggest polities of the time like the Spanish Empire and the Ottomans only had a very limited number of them.I think people are used to them because of the Napoleonic Wars, but that was much later.
>eu5 is already on discount not even a full 4 months after releaseholy fuck, how grim for johan. the dlc is gonna sell like 5000 copies
>>2365008>troony4>funkys shitter, you killed eu5 in its cradle
>>2365000Hit the top button to show obsolete units, buy a houfnice for 200 and upgrade it for 50/75.
EU3 won (again).
>>2364714Every social slider gives you nothing at the center besides avoiding a usually weak penalty.
wtf johan
>>2364667What are the requirements for this event? Is it just own Ardabil in 1397?
>>2365123 trigger = { current_year >= 1390 current_year <= 1420 owns = location:ardabil location:ardabil = { is_capital = no } religious_school = religious_school:safavid_school NOT = { country_exists = c:ABL } }The hardest part is getting the proper religious school which is why I started as khalkhal. It's a small % monthly event as well so gotta speed 5 through all of it.On spawn you get full cores in a few areas like tabriz and the surrounding region. I believe the only thing that was cored was the province I own next to shirvan as well as 3 locations near the caspian sea.
>>2365117>>2365117Exposing the dhe event requirements is like a fever dream, how the fuck are you even supposed to make this fire?I assumed amasya is your capitol. So your capitol has to be outside of persia? But own 250 locations in persia... Then also have stockholm, of all the fucking places, plus 100 provinces in Europe? How would you even manage to pull this off, by snaking from persia, through Caucasus/crimea, through poland, Lithuania, then finally into the baltic sea? That would be like 1000 locations minimum unless you beeline sweden, take stockholm, then cheese the Europe locations by getting the closest possible
>>2365124Interesting that you don't need to be Shiite for that. Do you get any events that change that?
>>2365125I quickly hovered the regions and basically the idea is you go full Achaemenid + Alexander. 250 ish provinces in anatolia (also an event to get constantinople), 100 ish in Georgia which is marked as europe and 250 or 200 locations near india.The event bonus is 10 power projection and 50 presige lol..>>2365127There's an event much later if your form persia and your ruler is shiite and you get a nice nation wide conversion bonus (+20 flat for 10 years). Ardabil itself gets 2 events. One to spawn and one in 1500 if you're STILL a county to get a very shitty +2.5 army tradition bonus. It's really pathetic.Basically by 1500 you should already be persia to get most of the events.
>>2365129But why fucking stockholm of all things? Who the fuck came up with these requirements kek
>>2365130Stockholm is province ID 1 and I guess it was on a to-do list for a while and they never fixed it. I think the intent was owning a specific province in georgia but I'm not sure which.
>>2365131>Stockholm is province ID 1Imperator chads we can’t stop winning
>agressor is a subject and dindu nuffin>-50% antagonismSo this is how KYIV does it...Being a 0% loyalty tributary is pretty comfy
First time playing past the 1500s and I'm currently filthy rich. Should I turn the autobuilder on? I'm too large at this point to care about micromanaging builders.
>>2365165*buildings
>>2365165Just let your estates max all your RGOs and building, as Johan intended
>>2365165I did that as well as auto-destroy, subsidizes and a bunch of other stuff. Focus research the new building types and you'll see your tax base explode
>>2365161If you just keep a guy on diplo and generally improve relations then antagonism literally doesn't matter outside of your big rival.
>>2365182How is the control?
>>2365187The ususal
>>2365182>Holy Persian EmpireWhy not just call it the Persian or [Dynasty] Caliphate? Or Imperial State of Persia like it was IRL
>>2365127>Interesting that you don't need to be Shiite for that.It is correct, though; the Safawiyya were originally a Sunni group and only became Shi'ite after Ismail I proclaimed himself Shah (which, as far as I've always heard, was primarily a political thing to make the Ottomans into a religious "other")
>>2365206It's a theocracy
>>2365260So why isn't it called a Caliphate then
>>2365263An islamic theocracy isn't necessarily a caliphate
THE HRE HASN'T HAD AN EMPEROR FOR 100 YEARS SO I CAN'T LAUNCH THE 30 YEARS WARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>2365297In most games the HRE doesn't pass the golden bull until extremely late. It's stuck in interegnum forever and one of the main reason france gobbles all of it up
for someone that in EUIV likes Spanish Empire and colonization and trade the most, is it worth switching to EUV?
>>2364647FROM THE PO TO THE TOE ALL SHITALIANS WILL FACE THE ROPETSD TSD TSD
>>2365265Why isn't it called literally anything that would designate it as a Theocracy then
>>2365182Ayatollah you should focus on the war
>>2365311It's called "Holy"
>>2365313The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor roman, nor an empire.
>>2365313The Holy Roman Emperor wasn't a cardinal or a pope
>>2365315At least this one actually is Holy, Persian, and an Empire
>>2365315>>2365317And? It's a theocracy, hence holy.
>>2365322what title does your ruler have
>>2365323Khan, I'm playing a horde. I'm just explaining to you who asked why it's called "holy" that it's because it's a theocracy and then when asked why isn't it called anything that would designate it as a theocracy that I pointed out that it's "holy"
>>2365326The Holy Roman Empire isn't a theocracy thoughYour point is invalid.
>>2365328And? That's what they called themselves. Weather they are a theocracy is totally irrelevant to what other nations that are theocracies call themselves.
>>2365329The point is that Paradox are lazy, uncreative retards.
>>2365330What's exactly wrong with calling a theocracy "holy"?
>>2365328You're fucking annoying dude. Trying playing the game for once instead of getting mad at anything getting posted.
>>2365334keep sucking johan's mutilated chode bruv
>>2365050>I didn't expect they would start their alt-history LARP shit so soonOne of the very first DLCs for EUIV added the Random New World generator along with the sunset invasion stuff.

>>2365187Lol control?40 two provinces away from capitol
You would not believe how much simpler (and faster!) war is when you have 100,000+ professional infantrymen mass assaulting castles. It takes about two years to max out a peace deal and I can take more per war because I occupy all the land I take. For the last 20 years I've been ferrying my armies between wars in Britannia and West Africa. Mali is gone now, along with some minor African states that needed pacifying. Sokoto is next. But right before I declared my third war on England they finally joined France's coalition against me. Unsure what to do now:>Recruit 60,000 more regulars to become Military Hegemon and declare anyway. Remind France how all their crusades against me went.>Focus on conquering more Africa for a few decades, come back after unlocking Age 5 regulars. I get another special infantry unit because I used to be Morocco.>Two Sicilies isn't in the coalition. I could take Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily away and project decent control from my local gov in Tunis.>Relax for a few decades and focus on the New World until Age 5 regulars. I have 116 subjects looping into proper Imperial cores, don't actually need 25ish more to fill my Diplo Capacity.>Actually do what anons told me last time I asked and conquer (betray) Egypt and the Holy Land. Eventually move a local gov to Cairo.Also I can't declare Jihad on England. What did Johan mean by this?
>>2365334I'm trans btw
>>2365427Believable worlds
>>2365435It gets worse! People have talked about how the AI act like slime molds instead of countries, but Hungary here brings up another fact about that: once a nation loses a big war, everyone around them smells blood in the water and grubs on them. I also saw this earlygame where Castile invaded Portugal after my first war with them instead of allying against me.
>>2365443I play with the "no cb mod" and it really helps with dogpiling. Most wars from the AI are insults, follow on thread and destroy rival or take down threatening rival.It's pretty nice. I wish we could get the good old conquer casus belli but alas.I guess the deus veult one is the closest.
>>2365435Islamic Britain is pretty believable, yeah
>>2365443>Kyiv
>>2365472ghost of kyiv lives rent free in your subhuman iq mind, vlad
That's right xister! Kyiev is the STRONGEST country in East Europe!
This guy's brain hasnt been wokring right since the drone accident. Please forgive him.
kiev
>>2364666Good thing it's not a middle ages game then
>>2364649It's not wrong. Byzantium already had writers talking about the ancient Greeks. If it survived until the age of nationalism restricted to mostly Greek speaking areas it would almost certainly tilt towards a Greek identity on its own. If instead it was a cosmopolitan multi-ethnic empire it would cling to the Roman heritage to justify it's rule.
>>2365474But why?
Military order sponsorships are so broken.>Ask for money>Wealth increase>Diplocap increases>Current sponsorship diplocap maintenances reduces>Repeat ad infinitumIt also count as alliances so whenever an institutions spawns you get a base +0.20 flat growth
>>23654270 respect for you if you formed Andalusia as Morocco instead of Granada btw
>>2365443>Bulgaria encircling Wallachiaevery fucking time
Everything is simply too cheap
>>2364680I uses the grandma's guide to EU5, copy what he does on the video, he explains it much faster and better than the actual tutorial vidoes. It's 5 hours but watch it on a faster play back speed and the first hour is the most useful. He explain whats important as it comes up too
>>2365639He doesn't do the things you complain about either
>>2365639I love this guy. I watched a lot of his bannerlord content.
>Just watch this 5 hour 24 minute short tutorialLol
>>2365671I watched this to get into eu4 in 2017
Fuck I thought boats counted to be an army based countryI have to wait a bit more before becoming a conquistador
>>2365724Who are you starting as? You need to lose all your land in a rebellion to become army based.Nobles if monarchy and clergy if theocracy.
>>2365726I started in South India in the provinces with Nestorians, converted, did the trick, I became army based, and waited for the conversion cooldown to switch to catholic, that's when I realised I reverted to a settled country at some point
Here's something that will upset you border gore and historical accuracy spergs.
>>2364649If it isn't at 100 Hellenismos in 1337, Johan is basically bullshitting>>2365494The great irony is that the term “Byzantine Empire” was coined by Greeks. In the west they called it “Greek Empire” or “Empire of the Greeks”. No one cared about the Roman Larp after the tenth century
>>2364667what bonuses does ardabil get
what's the point of getting historical dynasties such as the hohenzollerns when dynasties are only cosmetic in eu5
>>2364680just set trade on automation and build the buildings that are profitable or increase demand
>>2365263because caliphate implies universal religious leadership, which a theocratic islamic empire may not do
>>2365785Nothing really. 5 army tradition in some event if your ruler has more than 80mil points
>>2365784are you fucking retarded or baiting
>>2365786Nothing, though some of them have at least a good event ruler as your starting guy so it's not so bad idea to switch if your current one is a retard. Check the events for more info.
what's the point of getting playable irrelevant countries such as Thikana of Ratnapura when 0 flavor countries are only cosmetic in eu5
>>2365825dlc.
>>2365492The actual EU start date is 1444/1453, the entire 2 "new eras" are CK era 1 and CK era 2 before you get to the actual era 1. Cannot wait for different start dates.>>2365463>t. some stupid fuckhole
>>2365850>Cannot wait for different start dateslol
>>2365850The first two eras is the only time period where the game is playable. After that you have to deal with wack colonization, wack reformation, wack regulars and wack economy
>>2365187>Mountains, deserts, no riversBound to be shit.
>>2365903>form Ethiopia>swap to Armenian culture Mountain solved
welp they lost one thousand players in one weekadding some more buttons to click didn't solve half the situations not working and vassal wars being unfixed
>>2365850CK is absolutely retarded at simulating anything post 1300. Anyone who has studied that period knows EU is a better fit for the Black Death and 100 years war era. “Medieval Times” changed so much during this period, it’s nothing like CK at all.
>>2365917Don't you already get -33% mountain and plateau prox impact as ethiopia?
Ok that's pretty fun blobbing, maybe I should play timurids at some pointAfter big defensive battles on my castles Im just annexing their unfortified stuff and immediately raising levies there, not being able to peace out is annoying tho I have more than 1k in loans
>>2365942The Armenian advance is from the culture so it stacks with the ones from your tag, there's Ethiopia Austria (best one cause it also works on hill and it's 50% iirc) and Tibet I think?
>>2365938>13001200* (assuming you start from 1066)
>conquer Ireland>go to play Black and Tans on youtube, as is tradition>videos are all taken down
>wipe entire enemy army >4% warscore>fail superiority casus bellithank you johan have you tried to play your game past 1400?
>>2366032I love how every peace deal becomes one where the AI would accept, but the 10% warscore demand forces you to keep going.
>>2366032Johan exclusively plays mp with his old friends and he doesn't care about you
When is it supposed to become fun?
>>2366049>Player: I consent>AI: I consent>System: I don'tIsn't there someone you forgot to ask?
>>2366052KYIV WON
>>2366052>1744>strongest country in all of europe is kyiv
>>2366056France is stronger on the power rank though?
>>2366052Thanks to paradox I finally see that Russia's existence is ahistorical.
>>2366052When you stop playing wopantrannies
>>2364647The game is crearly isn't made for you, chuds. It's made for people with friends or autistic acquaintances for the comfy chungus multiplayer. Not for singleplayer gamers, who are the 95% of playerbase for paradox games.You simply cannot fathom the genius of Johan
>>2366075This is probably the single least multiplayer friendly game in Paradox history.
>>2366077No, I don't mean two-three person multiplayer. I mean when every country that has content is played by a real person. Only then the game really opens upBravo Johan, I kneel
>>2366081>Content*Dhe hidden behind 17 layers of obscure or outright nonsense appears behind you*
>>2366094Obviously I mean countries which have dhe that's not so ballbustingly difficult to find, or those that have interesting reforms, like Timurids.I am not baiting btw. This is actually the only way to make this game fun to play. Tired of seeing Kiev dominate eastern europe for 300th time? Don't worry, Lithuania and Poland have a playerTired of Naples making Pope into opm in HRE? Don't worry, we have player in Papal States and Venezia. Also in France so it doesn't conquer Avignon, because it is of their cultural group and there is zero consequence for conquering it.Tired of fuckstupid piece of shit retard colonization when AI makes borders that make you cry and don't go to war to consolidate them? Don't worry, all colonial nations have a player. China as well, so they don't colonize Phillipines and Mollucas, you know, like they do every time if AI is controlling them
>femoid becomes sultan of the ottomans>immediately marries the darkest gorilla nigger ever and destroys the bloodline foreverbelievable worlds
>>2366103I noticed that the minority of muslim rulers actually practice polygamy. Most of them marry one woman and no more. They do remarry if the previous wife died but, most of the time to an old infertile woman. And it's not like they have monogamy in their laws, I checked, even with nikah they marry only once.That's especially funny with Ottomans who have harem laws. Like, bro, what harem lol, you are married to a 60 year old woman and that's it
>>2366081Good luck keeping people together for two hundred hour campaigns through the lag and crashes.
>>2366103That's a really nice AI Ottomans for just 1378
HOW DO I GET THIS TO WORKIT SAYS I CAN DIRECTLY EXCOMMUNICATEBUT I HAVE A PAPAL CONCLAVE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A SITTING POPEWHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS EVEN MEAN JOHAN
>>2366122What does "We do NOT have Is the Pope"?Does that mean the Papal States can't start the vote on excommunication or something?
>>2366123yes, but that's for the curia proposal specificallyHERE, in the laws, it saysPOPECAN EXCOMMUNICATEDIRECTLYyet i CANT FUCKING EXCOMMUNICATE NAPLES TO GET THE CBNIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER
>>2366128Try waiting for another Pope. Did you just win western schism? Cause if you do, new Pope takes the hat and his reign still counts as the Papal Conclave.
>>2366131Yeah I did. Great, that's actually fucking retarded
>1.1>papacy mechanics still brokenbravo johan
>>2365852I think it will happen but it will just be just a tiny selection and even those will never be quite rightYou'll get something to let you start at colonization and something to make japan more fun and then one wildcard much later start date.Or maybe instead of something to make japan more fun they could make a japan specific game that they can precisely tune to be fun at every point in history, I would totally play that, the little contact japan had historically with outside japan can all be abstracted
>>2365724Pretty sure navy based countries do existor maybe it's just a framework of one for moders
>>2366122That's the wrong button, you don't use that as the pope as seen by the fact that you are blocked because you are the pope anyways
you want to see broken papacy mechanics?
We're back to pre 1.1 player levelsmaybe 1.2 will actually bring us above eu4 levels.
>>2366175I haven’t played since launch week, though I am interested in the game. Waiting for them to figure out what the fuck they’re doing first. Reminds me of Imperator (which I loved). The game wasn’t bad in its launch state, but it was very frustrating to play in its early patches since they were constantly breaking things and adding new bugs in their flailing.
>>2366175They're never going to get any player retention because the keep balancing around player feedback rather than actually testing themselves and sticking to an actual vision, the games going to keep flip flopping around various stuff being broken because that's the last input they've gotten from the latest batch of players.
>start the game for the first time in several months>occupy fort popup>close it>game unpauses automatically why hasn't this been changed yet.
>start game for the first time since new year >start as bizzieland>all going well>king dies>noble regency>wife died without giving me any warningsee you again in in another few months
You can just sell your subjects to your subjects now if you're having problems with diplo cap or vassal strength Not sure if they enforce religion/culture but that'd be nice too
>>2366175>We're back to pre 1.1 player levels>maybe 1.2 will actually bring us above eu4 levels.This is called damning with faint praise.
>>2364666>Is it really that hard to open a book and read, huh Johan?I don't like him at all but it's obvious the issue here isn't ignorance. It's just shameless catering to retarded romaboos who form a non-insignificant chunk of grand strategy gamers.
I was playing as Portugal and there is an event where Castile will give me money if i help it win against rebellion.I joined the war and after winning it for castile, because all of their units were for some reason starving in morocco, they broke our alliance and didnt give me the money
>>2366218Should have read the files retard
>>2366196this game is close to unplayable if you take any longer break since you forgot you have to manage all the little things previous titles do automatically
>>2366199Just enforce culture and religion before transferring them? We are so back centralized vassal swarm bros ..
>>2366254Uh yeah I'm dumbThis could actually be a good way to avoid independence movements if you want
>>2366179Nah this time the patch will save it for sure, they're not doing an open beta for v1.2 because it includes DLC contentSurely Johan will not fuck and release an unbalanced mess again
Give it to me straight is ts still ahh or nah
Every single screenshot and stream I see has the Turks taking Constantinople a century early without any cannons. They need to fix this shit so that you need a certain tech to siege that province
>>2365791Neither, I'm just an actual historian.
>finally get the event to become a monarchy>the historical option triggers another event to inform the emperor and confirm the cuhy titles>the emperor position is currently vacant, and this breaks the event chain>this event only triggers once, so I'm cucked out from becoming a monarchy10/10 game design, bravo Johan.
>>2366305So just click the event to become a monarchy regardless of what the emperor says.
>>2366307The first option is the only one that turns you into a monarchy, the other two keep you a signoria (republic)
>>2366310can't you swap to monarchy if you do a reelection with very low republican tradition? I know it works for theocracies
>>2366310I recently played Milan and I could swear one of the options just says basically "fuck the emperor Ima monarchy now."
>>2366310While I'm thinking about Milan how do you actually become an Ambrosian Republic?
>>2366315the event flavor_mlo.37 has a reference to it
>>2366318That means nothing to me. Can you tell me how to trigger it?
>>2366320 dynamic_historical_event = { tag = MLO from = 1430.1.1 to = 1480.12.30 monthly_chance = 5 } trigger = { character:mlo_sforza_script ?= { is_alive = yes is_ruler = no is_heir = no is_married = no } ruler = { any_child = { is_alive = yes is_adult = yes is_female = yes is_married = no character_age <= 40 } } }and it seems that mlo_sforza_script gets spawned from flavor_mlo.32 whic" dynamic_historical_event = { tag = MLO from = 1420.1.1 to = 1466.12.30 monthly_chance = 5 }hope that helpsi never played milan
>>2366323Interesting. Thanks.
>Brittany call me into a war vs Normandy >years later we have won a long time ago>but Scotland is still not 100% sieged so they must keep goingThanks Johan I had to use the console to end this stupidityI'm no longer making any alliances after the very early game
>>2366075If the game was made for MP the start date would be 1517
>>2366329don't you get a "war won" debuff if you drag out wars for too long?
>>2366329what was the war goal and who was it against
ive never seen pooland this bigtheyre gonna need it because ottomans are dismantling hungary after every cooldown
>>2366368>hungary got btfo and austria got the event to annex hungaryHAPPENING
>>2366372forgot pic
>>2366355Destroy enemy against Normandy war leader They ended it after I tagged to them and separate peaced Scotland for max gold and war rep and humiliation, I doubt the ai was planning to take land there they should have just peaced out Scotland asap and enjoy their 100% warscore>>2366341I don't think you get this with show superiority wargoal
What do I get for winning the Italian wars situation? Is this just a fancy UI to buy a CB?
>>2366406Nothing
>>2366406like 25 prestige or so, the cbs are the main benefits I guess
>>2366404>using the consoleJust admit you like cheating.
>>2366415>18 year old wife with 80 fertility has zero children before 30Yeah no fuck off Johan I'm using the console to impregnate her until you stop doing blow FIX YOUR GAME
>>2366415No Johan, I like believable worlds
>>2366414It's hilarious how much of a nothingburger most situations are. You don't give a fuck about winning the western schism, you're better off if it goes for as long as possible. Italian wars are irrelevant. Treaty of tortillas is irrelevant. Religious war is broken because the AI never starts it. Little ice age does nothing because any competent player is overflowing with food. Golden age of piracy does nothing. HYW boils down to "force France and England to fight".It's even less interesting than EU4 imperial incidents, and these were a constant disappointment.
>need 50 mysticism to switch to Safavid schoolIs there a way to get past 35 mysticism or do i just need to hope for random events to slowly push me there?
>make the pope my dominion>steal his clothes and become the pope>even though I'm Cathar>and somehow they now have 84,000 men
>>2364647I want to like Eu5 so badly but it's just terrible.. Who thought that having to constantly keep track of supply/demand, production methods and building opening/closure is a good idea? It's just busywork that takes away from gameplay that is actually meaningful and interesting. It's not even that it's too difficult to understand - it's simply incredibly tedious. Am I missing something?
>>2366461It's gonna be tough. You can give a privilege to the clergy for +10 mysticism and then with your court wizard that's around +30 but I'm not sure wher eyou're gonna get the rest. 90% of the random events are for jurisprudence stuff.
>>2366468You're not autistic like the rest of us.
>>2366474brother I have 5.5k hours in Eu4
>>2366475And? EU4 is casual baby game.
>>2366476Yes just like eu5.
>>2366468i have very rarely ever had to look at economic details like this, even less so now that the estates build everything in 1.1what country and age are you playing?
>>2366468the devs and the forum midwits think having very complex systems that nobody understands or manage is a good thing because complex always means better
>>2364647Granada is so much easier in eu5 than eu4 is so funny
the egregiously suicidal tactics of small countries in large wars are a BIG part of the problem with eu5 right now
>>2366519the suicidal tactics of every country*winning a war even against 10:1 ratios is pretty common for me now, especially since mercenaries are straight tup space marines and a fraction of the cost of regulars, so if you can save ~1.4k before a war, you're guaranteed to curbstomp all of europe with a stack of 20k mercs from age 2
>>2366524damn i forgot about the new mercsi've still been saving for regulars like a chump
>railroading is bad, sandbox is more fu-ACK
>>2366468Just automate it ot words fairly well, I agree that it's annoying busy work though
I'm a bit confused, I wanted to try scotland and I just realized my capital is a rural settlement, which I first assumed meant there were no towns for the capital to be in but then I saw there are 3 it could have been. also I never noticed there was a location rank map mode before, that might prove useful to me, I think i've been underurbanising in my previous runs of things
>>2366618Dynamic historical sandbox
I really don't understand why they made the effort of including an AI expansion desire mapmode if they coded the AI to expand mindlessly anyway. >game starts>Bavaria asks unlawful territories from Austria>suicide war against Austria, gets their ass beat>Austria almost fully annexes Bavaria despite the mapmode showing next to no desire to expand in that region>gets coalitioned by the entire HRE>gets destroyed and almost fully annexed by someone else>another coalition forms>repeatThis has been happening in every single game now.
>>2364647HOi4 is still last good looking pdx game, why did paracocks think they need to do this soulless 3d graphics and mobile UI in their games. It bloated system requirements ten fold for no benefit.
>>2366625Tranoi4 is hot fucking garbage in every aspect
>>2366626yet it has by far the best UI and aesthetic
>>2364647haven't played since 1.0 what's current status? playable or there is still some broken stuff?
>>2366675There's still bugs but it's mostly playable until 1600 I'd say
Should I recruit elephant cavalry or footmen for now?
>>2366675really buggy, terrible balancing, shit performance, boring after 150 yearsdon't bother until 2027-28 at earliest
All my concerns with the earlier start date have been proven correct beyond a shadow of a doubt despite all the shills. The game should've been going a hundred years forwards, going a hundred years back is just nonsensical and ruins the game all on its own.
>>2366502Brandenburg (now Prussia) around 1470. My economy has eclipsed Bohemia and Berlin is on its way to have more development than Prague. I moved the Lübeck market to Berlin and I own all of northern Germany from Hamburg to western Latvia. The disaster event is finished, I have 35 crown power and I was making over 200 in profit before building a large standing army with current era units + forts along my entire border. I am the emperor. At this point I just keep running out of masonry to the point where Im maxing out Masons in every single location in my capital province and in provinces that have either stone or clay RGOs in it and I still dont have enough most of the time. Even beyond that, 70-80% of the gameplay loop is just urbanizing + constantly checking what goods I would be deficient in if the burghers weren't importing them into my markets. Am I supposed to just automate all of this? It's incredibly annoying because it seems like I should be checking the demand/supply ratio for all my goods every month or so to be efficient.
>>2364680i learned my paradox games by cheating until i started knowing my way with them a lot better.
>>2366708It would still be shit but with a different starting map
why is almost every country in the game at the verge of bankrupcy at game start? even when I turn all the expense sliders down I'm still having a -20 monthly balance unless I dismantle most of the forts and buildings with high unkeep
>>2366813I'm playing as Dai Viet and having an easy time with money so far
>>2366835dai viet is getting a shitload of dosh from china at game start because of the tributary system, that doesn't count
>>2366837Oh thanks for warning me lol, first actual campaign
@2366708k
>>2366837why does a chinese/great juan tributary system pay OTHER PEOPLE? what would even be the point of that? the tooltip literally says>people of all nations would come to bring tribute to the yellow emperoris it just a case of paradox reversing a modifier because theyre incompetent pajeets being shepherded by a drugged out johan?
>>2366813Because expenses are % based and profit in terms of budget surplus can only be made 2 ways. You either create profit by trading or you create profit by taxing the estates higher. Growing economy by itself doesn't actually translate to bigger numbers except that the 1% cut that ends up as the number gets bigger. It's not like how in EU4 if you increase your income by 10 you get 10 more, here if you increase your economy by 10 your expenses automatically grow by 9. Because the system is like this you pretty much always start out broke because your crown power is too low to make real profit from trades and it can be difficult dealing with estates until you build up bit of stab to redo their privileges. Meanwhile shit like forts is static payments so they hurt the most right at the start, so you of course instantly get rid of those.>>2366856The Chinese tribute system was more like an elaborate gift exchange. The emperor as the most important person in the world would obviously give the best gifts to demonstrate his superiority. Like you would bring in a statue made out of silver and he would give you one made out of gold to one up you. It was a net financial outflow from China (at least if you ignore how the actual trade agreements and such shaped up)
>>2366856Honestly at this point it's more of "I know our influence is waning so take some money to stay loyal"
>>2366813Because they changed how eco maint works and didn't balance countries starting build around it, just close any unprofitable builds at the start and open them up later on when your income improves.
>>2366860>Like you would bring in a statue made out of silver and he would give you one made out of gold to one up youyou got that backwardschinks loved silver
>>2366871It was just to illustrate how the monetary exchange worked. In reality most gifts would be local products, like central asian people could bring a white and black stallions as gifts and then get porcelain and silk or something which has far higher value than the horses ever did. Gold was also still more expensive than silver in China around this time period.
I hate it, where is the supposed simulation? Everytime im not at 100 legitimacy my cost of court skyrockets and kill my income for some timeBeing HRE emperor is dogshit btw, the CBs are trash (cant separate peace, cant take anything that isnt HRE land), imperial taxes gives me a 12 (twelve) gold a month, it kills your economy by making you a GP, the only good thing is having the diplo benefits of being empire rank
>>2366878Lower the slider if the expense is too high or you know stay at 100. That slider is actually well implemented since it auto scales the investment at 100% automatically so you don't have to fuck with it most of the time. This is unlike the tax where you can get significant advantage by fucking with it constantly in response to events and what not.
>>2366878have you considered lowing it?
Why yes, I will manually setup my 500 trade capacity to get 5% more income of which I get 25%, and then redo it each month. I am trans and artistic btw>Who the fuck thought this trade system was good
>>2366885I managed to set up a bunch of trades to be stable. It's a pain in the ass because you need to over every trade, figure out what their supply + production rate is and figure out your demand otherwise marketprice will shift way too much.Tooltips over tooltips over tooltips. Once you stack ton of trade efficiency and trade maintenance cost you can even buy high and sell low and make a profit.
>>2366883Only if I would need to take a loan>>2366882Theres lot of stuff that costs legitimacy, I always forget about it and it jumps from 10 gold a month to 300
centralization should give you more local governors while decentralization should reduce diplo capacity cost of vassals prove me wrong
>>2366898>centraliztion should be even better >decentralization should be even more midDiplo cap stops mattering past age 2.
>>2366889>Price equalizes one month into your ebin wolf of wall street larpNothing personnel
>>2366905Yeah because you allocated too much trade capacity, either drained their market or filled yours too much.
>>2366904>the thing every nation did during the time period the game takes place in should be le badretard
Every single update since 1.0.5 has been a disaster. Remember how hyped everyone was on eu5 before 1.0.6/7(the space marines and fucked up naval battles update)? We had 3 threads a day. Now we are down to 7.5k players and literally nobody is gonna buy the dlc because Johan has shown he has zero competence.I want to go back, bros....
>>2366934If the game wants to pretend values are meant to be diametrically opposed ideas that equalize power by letting you specialize depending on playstyle/geography then it should balance accordingly, values currently are even worse EU4 ideas because most of them have a clear winner to pursue.
Did you know that Muscovy's unique government reforms don't get added automatically when they are gained? Yes, you need to replace one of your reforms to add the unique one.So, naturally, AI doesn't add them, because they are incapable of thinking ahead. They see -20 stab cost and go: nah, I don't want these powerful reforms that change the game completely.Absolutely genius, Johan. Especially considering most of them have +1 government reform on them, so you need to replace one of the government reforms and then add it again, or wait for the event to fire. Bravo, I prostrate myself
>>2366997this isn't league of legends, you don't need to autistically balance everything arbitrarily.
>>2367013Bro they've been micro patching everything about this game since it's release.
>>2367014I know, it's why the game is bad.
>>2367014Sneaky Johan cheating in his mp game by changing stuff to his advantage every patch
I'm going to make Bohemia french at the cost of 100 opinion I feel dirty
>>2367018they'll change back quick
>>2367025I've never seen any country change cultures. Not a single time. They sometimes change religion. Mostly in the age of reformation when they flip to protestantism and back to catholicism. But not culture
>>2367025I'll just do it again until they stop being bohemian >>2367029If they haven't finished converting to a majority after 10 years, they usually switch back. Had it happen with Genoa cause burghers are super resistant to assimilation
>>2364782The whole infantry focus is just to make them good for meme late game armies, isn't it?
it's happening
>become a military order>entire europe funds my campaigns against pious catholics and no one gives a fuckseems OP as hell, wonder how they will nerf this
dlc will fix it.
>>2367091Worked with CK2, EU4 and Stellaris.
ottochuds lostthe papacy reigns supremeeven with the historic-ish railroading mods for ottomeme rising, the war was still too easy because war AI is complete dogwater slaughtered 10:1 ottomans easily
>>2367092didnt work with ck3, hoi4 and city skylines 2 doe
>>2367094I haven't played those so I can't comment. But I thought CK3 was pretty good?
>>2367095the ck3 dlcs just added more tedium. game is still exactly the same contentless drool it was at release.
>>2367097Well it seems to be popular regardless.
>>2367093Youre the pope and he is literally the only country in Europe that fields a real military or hire enough mercs to be somewhat of a threat
Thus ends my first playthrough, holy fuck the UI is terrible dogshit the devs don't deserve even a single penny
>>2367103At long last, an answer to Stalins question about how many divisions does the Pope have
>>2367105Go in debt and get 3000 mercs. You'll win this coalition easily.
>>2367105Maybe you shouldn't have taken more antagonism than you could handle.Moron.
>>2367105Should have saved your blobbing money for mercs
I really don't like every popup window having a small sound effect now It feels like a candy crush. As if game is trying every trick ot hot to keep me in a dopamine induced loop. That's probably the real reason the UI sucks donkey balls, jewhan wants to trick our dopamine receptors by having us click buttons constantly.
>>2364680>How to learn eu5 please?Wait 1-2 years until it stops being supported like Imperator Rome.They are reworking major game mechanics every patch now.
Started a campaign as Mali, got bored and quit in 2 hours. This game simply does not have IT, not going back to EU4 though, it's a shame but it looks like PDX has finally ruined all 4 of it's main franchises
>>2367105Skill issue.
>>2365117It's a cheeky Gustavus Adolphus reference I think
I think antagonism is buster for the AI, or they just can't manage it. Take Verona for example, they start the game with newly conquered territories and a ton of antagonism towards their neighbors, so they get targeted by a coalition shortly after the game starts. What baffled me is that after the first coalition war, they get targeted by a second, sometimes even a third coalition war. And this happens while never taking any more land than they start with. I wonder how is that possible.
>>2367220The devs did an oppsie and forgot to remove antagonism opinion malice after the coalition wins, and the AI loves dog piling someone because it's the only way the headless chicken army they command can actually win.
>italy is a plausible tagwtf why?
>>2367220Coalition winning doesn't reduce antagonism + coalitions suck so they often can't get a big peace deal so as soon as the timer is out they just coalition again.
>>2367231It's not historic because Italy isn't a thing during the time frame of the game unlike say Great BrittainIt's not ahistorical because it did form pretty soon after and probably could have formed earlier unlike say Carthage.
>>2367234I find it questionable given how the last age has unify culture group thing and a tag like Scandinavia is a historical tag.
>>2367235Scandinavia is a plausible country.
>>2367235Wait scratch that, i checked the wiki and they did move Scandi to plausible, i still find it weird given they have the culture group unification mechanic, but it also works like total ass. I did as Scandinavia and like 10% of my pops refused to shift and almost impossible to assimilate given they're an accepted liked pop.
>>2367231Should be ahistorical desu desu, it*li*ns unifying disgusts me.
>>2367237Observe a bit more and you will get it right next time lil'champ happens for everyone.
>>2367239To be fair it was a historical tag when the game launched.
>>2367220>Losing coalition wars doesn't decrease your antagonism Johan is a hack
>>2367241Coalitions literally do nothing anyway, just paint away.
Social values shift needs to be adressed. At the moment, there is 2 modes of value shift you want:+0.01 in whatever direction, which ensure you dont slide down, and then you push it through events.+however much you can get, ideally infinity, but +1 at least guarantee you cap it automatically.What's the point of having +0.2, +0.3 or +0.4? You reach 20/30/40%, and as soon as some event push it further, ever point of drift beyond +0.01 is wasted.
>>2367231I mean, there have been some attempts at unification before the 1800s, and a few of them came quite close.
>>2367231Didn't Napoopan establish a little Italy?
>>2367254He made himself King of Italy but it didn't include all of the italian peninsula
>>2367255And German empire didn't include Bohemia, Austria or Switzerland.
>>2367258Napoleon's kingdom of Italy was something imposed on Italians, just another imperial crown only it was innovative at the time for being a nation based crown rather than a divinely sanctioned one, the "lesser germany" you''re advocating only came about after Prussia decided that excluding Austria was the best way to secure their dominion in germany, all the ideologues of early German unification envisioned states like Bohemia and Austria as a vital part of the future german nation.
>>2367231>>2367250There also was this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Italy_(Holy_Roman_Empire)I think this should be added as a formable/name change for Milan
>>2367100Ck3 is the easiest paradox game to learn out of them all. Babies can play it. There is no intricate and overly complex systems, so, of cource, it is popular, since it can reach wider audience
>>2367270because it's mainly a roleplaying game
Is there a mod that removes different religion malus for royal marriage? Or can I remove it in files? I am tired, boss. Even irish tribal chiefs don't want to marry roman emperor's daughter because -100 different religion.There is an event for Muscovy which requires royal marriage with Lithuania, who convert to catholicism, and, again, don't want royal marriage even with alliance
Why did Florry abandon eu5 and plays eu4 instead?
>>2367300Because all the extra mechanics in EU5 aren't meant to make the gameplay deeper but to keep a constant dopamine reward loop going. Every month you open building tab, build some buildings in your capital to get more next month, rinse and repeat. It's the candy crush of strategy games.

Why are tiny bits of my armies always falling off? I give an army of 10k orders to focus siege in an area, then when I come back later to look, the main army is still doing its job, but there are little 200 soldier groups that have fallen off the main army just standing around waiting to be slaughtered. It happens all the fucking time and I don't understand why.
>>2367322Ugh well you see anon it's actually heckin realistic for some troops to divert off the main army and try to pillage around.
>>2367300He played 5 a week ago playing that opm in northern Spain. He bounces between both depending if he gets an idea for something. And btw he gets more views playing EU4 anyway.

Will 1.2 rebalance the game so every country tears down every single fort at the start of the game besides?
>>2367352>rebalance Not only rebalance, 1.2 will SAVE the game

>>2367397Well enjoy your Scandinavia.
>>2367397They asked nicelyI was also wondering where I got some opl vassals from, must have been my annexed vassals who diplo vassalized them
>>2364649>>2365494The third value on the axis is Turkicised/Orientalised Byzantines(whether they Christianize the Turks or Islamify the Byzantines, or treat Muslims like dhimmis). Janissaries were from the Christian population of Balkans and Anatolia, so infantry bonus and professional legions being a western thing instead of an eastern thing is even weirder when you consider that. The west had the best heavy cavalry through the period, eastern europe better at light cavalry.Catholicism vs Orthodoxy is more relevant as the east-west divide than a Zeus-Jupiter split in pagan revivalism. Greek parochialism versus Roman universalism isn't even the same distinction as the religious issue, and to the extent it overlaps it's tied quite tightly to the Catholic question.Catholic (or "mended schism") Byzantines are very plausible, it's not just a "last ditch" choice or something that could not have been forced the same way Protestantism was forced in parts of Europe.
>>2367337I said Johan is a nigger
>>2367431>Islamify the ByzantinesLiterally never going to happen, even in a giga retarded alt history scenario
>>2367449I agree, but it's a bit more plausible for the long-declining, hollowed-out Byzantine empire to somehow survive with the trappings of civic "Byzantium" and a Muslim majority than it is for the Ottomans to go from succeeding in conquering Anatolia and Greece for Islam and just going Christian because they now have a Christian majority. Or if they lost a war in Greece/Bulgaria it being cheaper for Christian states to force religion than it was to liberate the land for Christendom.Or individual characters convert and the game thinks people respect salic law more than anti-apostasy law and cultural views.
it's a little micro-intensive, but this new cabinet action stacks
>>2367454You don't want to stack it like that because it overflows the 1k mark when you do it that like (unless you want a really important location to get some bonus pop, which Magadan certainly isn't). You are better off using them to boost 6 different colonies instead.
>>2367460>You don't want to stack it like that yes i do, beelining gets me to alaska faster
>>2367467Alaska really isn't important colony either desu and it's far enough that you probably don't want to waste potentially tens of thousands of pops in the far east just to get there bit faster when you were going to beat the AI's by decades or centuries but at least that's a justified use of the ability.
That survey makes me sad because they're asking how satisfied you are with 1.1 and literally all I could say is no, I'm objectively horrified at the state of the game ever since the space marines dogshit and constant unbalancing of shit
>>2367453>than it is for the Ottomans to go from succeeding in conquering Anatolia and Greece for Islam and just going Christian because they now have a Christian majority.That's why you turn on conversions in group only
>>2367479>space marines dogshitqrd? I haven't played in a couple months. Is a new type of regular now unkillable?
>>2366475>>2366468>blobnig brainlet got filteredlmao
>>23675091.0.6 introduced some bullshit modifier that effectively doubled(tripled?) regular combat strength vs levies, which not only increases damage done, but also decreased damage taken. Because of this, 1000 levies could stack wipe 5-10x their own numbers of levies. If combined with terrain it can get ludicrousBut also recently, they also made it so mercenaries get this "regular bonus", so for 1500 ducats you can get 10000 mercenaries which cost 40 ducats a month that can and will be able to solo 10x their own numbers.Between 1.0.7 and 1.0.9 they reduced it to "only" 100%, but it still has the same effect. Johan is a retard who thinks renaissance era levies were basically all goblins with sticks instead of simply a lesser trained force. Regulars are just levies with state backing, not fucking ultramarines, but he hasn't reversed this in any way
>>23675181000 regulars* not levies, sorry, day drinking
>>2367518Even on 1.0 Regulars wiped the ass of levies once you got into age 3.
>>2367431I don't think the jannisaries were in anyway comparable to the byzantines. Even in 1453 the byzzies were keeping around enough artists that they cpuld contribute to the Renaissance while the ottoman empire waa a cultural and scienfitic desert
Press button, line goes up, player feels goodHire regulars, win battles, and win it 1v10, this is epicNow that's fun, and that's how you sell DLCs kids, not by doing some historical simulator for autists The DLC must flow

>>2367538
Got randomly called into a war of liberation and had to pay 3000 gold to get them to fuck offI thought Jewhan got rid of this shit
>>2367537This but unironically
It's ridiculous how much faster you you get brokenly rich as soon as you learn to build all burgher building in your 80< control provinces instead of spreading them out. It feels a bit game breaking.
>>2367589No, it's accurate. This is a Paris and London simulator.
>>2367589In EU4 you can do the same in 0% autonomy province and spamming the mana buttons to dev provinces.
>>2367591This isn't true. It's way more optimal to sort your provinces by dev cost and spend mana that way.
Download the full expenses mod to balance the game. It removes the 90% discount for maintenance which means you actually have to pick where you build because less than 50 control areas are a huge negative balance
I think they really need to rethink the whole culture-religion situation. Obviously you want some conversion and assimilation going on but it’s pretty hard to balance. Rn it seems like it is in a good place, you need integration on the province, waste cabinet members on raising control and assimilation/conversion. But then you just make opm subjects who have very good control in their province and they make everyone your culture in 10 years, without sacrifice on your part. Or look at OPMs like Athens and they make the capital of greek civilization spanish catholics in 20 years.Maybe make separate culture/religion of administration and of the people. Like for the purposes of diplomacy the religion of your administration comes into play, but you can’t convert provinces of the religion of people, and these provinces only convert passively? Dunno, might still break balance. It seems like Tinto is filled with retards, so I have no idea what they will come up with, or even if they want to change it at all and everything is working as intended
>>2367601Cores should be cored in 10 years of ownership. Cultural differences should have a much larger difference. Cultural assimilation should be 1/10 what it is. I can remove a regional culture like provincal in 10 years. Making cores and cultures separate is critical to fixing the whole issue of minorities being irrelevant long term imho
Johan fix tribesmen promotion I beg you, I can't stand looking at the inner congo being 100% french or Castilian anymore
>>2367609That’s just shitting on Russia. Unless you make tatar cultures close to russianWould be pretty nazi of Johan to do that. What’s with barbaric mongoloid asiatics and all
>>2367613What I mean is that even if a core, the culture difference should still be critical, because right now you just accept some shitter culture to get the core tick then remove it. It should cause massive unrest because they're so completely different than your main, which the system currently tracks, but as I said, if you accept it for a month you get the cores and it doesn't matter
>>2367616You should lose cores if you remove accepted cultures.
>hmm lets see how golden horde is doing
>>2366624Was probably more accurate in earlier versions
>>2367618I mean the issue is cultures and acceptance in eu5 are kinda bullshit. If you have 2.5% of a culture, you can accept any culture, then remove it the next month, to get cores. Cores should be separate from culture. But I don't know how best to do it.
>>2367624breh

>>2367663>its alright when eu4 does it!
>>2367665A simulator should do more than just increase the number of buttons you click every month in the feedback loop
>>2367668Clicking buttons is what you do in a simulator tho.I'm playing Stellaris right now and all I do is click buttons.
It's stupid when small countries randomly decide to rival me and give me a free "fuck your ass" casus belli

I really want to like this game, bres... but the sandbox aspect is filtering me hardFrance casually eating the HRE, Ottomans not consolidating, the pope not existing by mid 1400s, Russia and Spain never forming, and so on. If I wanted a sandbox history game I would have played Age of History or Pax Historia.
>>2367747Believable worlds
>>2367747>sandbox aspectIt's just the game not being finished, don't get confused
>>2367750Wdym, everything is working as intended. Trust the plan
What the fuck do I do with syberia as Russia? Everyone is starving to kingdom come. I've built irrigation and market villages/forest villages and expanded fur and wild game RGOs, yet Syberia still eats about 150 ducats in winter for food purchases. Do I just wait for columbian exchange for potatoes? Because it is still a century before it fires, and I don't want to still deal with this shit every winter
I'm Normandy and I've taken all of South West England, Dorset, Devon, Somerset and Cornwall. I have some Control on Dorest where there's great natural harbours and I have sea control, but Cornwall and Devon are at a solid 0% and won't increase, even though I have some proximity there. Only thing I can think of is that they're cornish culture, while.other areas are English and they are favourable to Norman culture. Anything else that could.cause this?
>>2367779Read the control tooltip, it's not hard
Why do dynasty members that are not closely related to your ruler part of the nobility estate now? Did I miss something?
>>2367800Johan forgot to define "is_close_family_member" in the files so now it's anyone's guess who can be of crown estate
>>2367747Yeah, welcome to hell. At least most of the "sandbox" shills are gone.>>2367663Europa Universalis: the Price of Power is miles better than EU4, but then board games are better than video games anyway. I've found that both EUs after 3 suck.
>>2367809can you post a picture of your copy of Price of Power with a timestamp in the photo
>>2367800For me i hate that if you recruit a cabinet member with the button they get assigned to a random estate. They should always represent the crown due to you giving them the job from nothing. Why wouldn't they be loyal to your interests?
>>2367831Because that button is bullshit OP to populate a small shithole.With some modifiers you can recruit people for less than 4 legitimacy and even in a pure shithole tribe will generate burger characters you can then put in your cabinet.It's literally the best button you can use to spawn characters and after a 100 years or so all the characters are 70-70-70 for some fucking reason.
>>2367785I did, I just tells me the effects not what's causing it
>>2367833It's not a problem because it generates mid advisors for countries that otherwise wouldn't be able to get ones, it's trash for high eco countries because even 1 month of legitimacy tick can mean like 3k of lost revenue, countries should have full cabinet slots.
>>2367850>like 3k of lost revenueIf you're hitting that high in cost of court then you've already got millions in the bank
>>2367850Continuously release and annex a opm subject. For some reason in midgame they always have a couple 100/100/100 courtiers
>>2367851Cost of Court scales the worst on low legitimacy because of how eco scales, any time you have a leg loss because of an event it kneecaps you building for like 6 months, you're really not recognizing how fast money burns when you're building.>>2367853Off a 10 year cooldown, you also can't release cores as vassals anymore, it's not a big deal you can get good adviors by kidnapping prodgious daughters for marrige and giving them cabinet rights or flush out prodigies in your realm with the character tab and give them expensive educations, it's really not a big deal.
>>2367845Post the control tooltip for one these locations and I will make fun of you
Characters were a mistake.
China can't collapse. No, really. They get stuck in their unique disaster which is really easy to just ignore and since you can't have to disasters at once, compacency disaster doesn't trigger.
>>2367800Brown pajeets coding accidentally removed them from the crown estate but Johan doesn't actually give a shit enough to go fix it
>>2367231They should have modern turkey in the game as a sort of damage control where you can switch to turkey to give up bonuses near the end of the game in exchange for erasing your antagonism
>>2367454Oh wowI don't get the inconsistency, some actions only one cabinet member can do, some multiple cabinet members can do, and some allow stacking the same place evenseems inconsistent

>>2367916So if you restore pentarchy before the reformation, how would that work exactly? Would we have Luther condemning the patriarch or something? Cause it seems the Pope doesn’t collect his tithe and probably doesn’t sell indulgences too, in that case
>>2367932>go into multiplayer and fuck somebody over who you know is counting on the reformation happening for their plans
>>2367935Reformation will happen either way, even if you go into overdrive mode and conquer whole europe as turks. It has to happen because there is an era tied to itAnd I doubt Johan will make an alternative era just because there is a chance someone is a meta gamer
>>2367521Shitantroons had 0, nothing, nada of scientifical contribution especially after they were nothing but a 30K shithole village in the Aegean and some meme states in the Peloponese, Andalusia and Abbassids always mogged these roaches hardShitantroons exist only to get conquered and the reekjeet "culture" erased and replaced by Turkish
>>2367925that's interesting, i've played velikiy novgorod a bunch of times and never under any circumstances have i seen ivan move away from muscovymaybe VN became the senior partner in the union somehow?
>>2367942>Reformation will happen either way, even if you go into overdrive mode and conquer whole europe as turks. It has to happen because there is an era tied to itI mean you could block reformation in EU 4 as well so it's not like there wouldn't be precedence..
>>2367951Reminder shitantroons got slaughtered by the hundreds by one half-naked Arab man alone>Dhiraar was feared by the Byzantine army and was given the nickname The barechested Warrior or The barechested Champion for his tendency to fight without armor or upper garments. Diraar mostly known for killing three dozen enemy commanders and champions in the Battle of Ajnadayn, blocking the enemy retreat in the Battle of Yarmouk, and killing more than a hundred soldiers single handedly in the siege of Oxyrhynchus Bahnasa.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirar_ibn_al-Azwar
>>2367958Yeah, but that just locks you in the discovery era. You are meta gaming to make the game worseI suppose that’s some kind of ending, because there is no reason to continue playing after succeeding in heresy extermination
>>2367953I have no idea. I thought it went by great power score which I had more of, but maybe they elected him somehow since they're a republic? My wife was a bit old so I had to forcibly impregnate her to get a new heir. After Ivan died my old heir became ruler of the other Novgorod. Everyone in the area is related to each other too so it's hard to find someone to marry. I had to marry Ivan's wife to Ivan's son, who I assume is from a different wife, in order to keep the dynasty name. At least everyone is raping the Golden Horde somehow so I can break free from them soon
>>2367756i've thought about it and experimented a lot, but have not yet solved the siberian food problemthe solution may be to delete northern markets so siberian provinces are in the same markets with warmer, southern, food-producing provinces, but i haven't tested this yet

>>2367916>Fate of the phoenix DLC>Absolutely nothing about Serbia, Bulgaria, or the Ottomans, who picked apart the byzantines>Some bullshit about Hellenism and OP omens took straight from imperatorEven the Tinto talks are being phoned in.

>>2367988Good. Fuck this trashfire of a game, fuck Johan, fuck Johan and fuck all of you
>>2367995But I liked it a lot when it released. All they had to do was MAKE THE FEATURES WORK, not endlessly rebalance shit like values or give regulars the space marines treatment. Colonization is a literal nothingburger, compared to how important it is in eu3. This is truly a tragedy for the /gsg/ community.

Oh good, the Baathist shitbag is back again to shout into the void.
>>2367988it seems pretty obvious the game is harder to fix than they anticipated and so they add far less content to the first dlc than was planned because they have to focus on fixing bugs.
>>2368027The game's fundamental problem isn't bugs (although it's part of it)
>playing as bizzieland>marry the queen of armenia>turns out she is a muslim>cannot divorce her>all my children default to her religion>cannot convince my three year old son that christianity is the true religionimagine people who play on ironman>imagine people who play this game
I got to 1430 as moscovy and was bored out of my mind. I'm done until some major changes are implemented.
>>2368031How the fuck did you marry a muslim. You can't even attempt to propose to muslim countries.Or was armenian religion christian and she herself was a muslim?
>>2368033Yes that was the case and I didn't notice it till I had my first son and noticed he wasn't my heir.
>>2367932Realistically the alignment between the Pope/Bishop of Rome and Constantinople would have more political ramifications for the HRE than it would for changing the religious beliefs of Luther et al, or the regional political opportunism that led to it becoming a defining political factor in history.The focus should really be on Catholic-reconciled Byzantines as the "plausible alt-history" over "gotta catch em all" CK2 style schism resolution. There's not likely to have been a "reconciliation" in Orthodox favour just because Byzantium somehow brute-force conquered Rome and Italy.The wackier alt-history should be Byzantium trying to claim the HRE with or without papal acceptance (or HRE prince acceptance) so as to reunite the two halves of the Roman Empire, even if that doesn't feed into certain elaborate axe-grinding political-religious-historical fetishes that delegitimize the Romanness of the HRE and Papacy, or lay the blame for the divide and fall of Rome at Christianity's feet.In such a scenario, something akin to Protestantism, or the religious league/thirty years war, even without Protestantism, could emerge in response to perceived Greek/Papal/Italian intrusion on what had been mostly the German HRE internal politics.
>>2367988>DLC about the Romans>UHHHH WHY IZNT SERBIA STRONK???????????NATO should have nuked Belgrade
>>2368039>>The wackier alt-history should be Byzantium trying to claim the HRE with or without papal acceptance (or HRE prince acceptance) so as to reunite the two halves of the Roman Empire,The Byzantines wouldn't do that because they don't consider the HRE to be Roman
>>2368040>Fate of the Phoenix>conspicuously lacking anything about the actual fate of the phoenix
>>2368031i bypass the dogshit character system by only playing republics
>>2368042phoenix implies rebirth, hence the content in the DLC is about a roman resurgence
>>2368041Which is why the more plausible version of this more or less requires a Catholic-aligned Byzantium. Alternatively somehow doing what's relatively common in CK and inheriting both empires, which kind of deserves some treatment as the "restoration of Rome" that's more plausible than slapping a coat of larpy red paint and laurel leaves on an alt-history where Byzantium is already an unstoppable steam roller.
>>2368051Realistically speaking there's no way a reconciliation would ever happen at a population level.The Emperor / political leadership may say they will submit to Rome (or that Rome is now subservient to them), but the reality on the ground would be the Greeks burning down the Imperial Palace or a Pope in exile (probably a French or German puppet) inciting Catholics against the 'heretics' in Rome.
>>2368042Pretty sure they said there would be some free content for all of them.We only had two diaries for a dlc that's focused on one specific nation, give it time
>>2367756Simply do not care about it and disable the starving provinces alerts. But yes it will be total shit until you get taters.
>>2368053The relevance of popular support or disapproval against top-down religious upheavals is overstated, at least when it's not a 180 degree turn, and especially in the case of a hypothetical Byzantium where the pro-Papal Emperor retained power instead of being obliterated and replaced by a pro-schism Sultan.Greek resistance against Catholic conquerors obviously would happen (and effectively is what had been happening by 1337), but if the emperor and enough higher-ups for a quorum decided on a pro-papal policy, they could control religious appointments and not much else would need to change for the "union" to take place. Maybe I'm missing something, but most of the "government is religion X, but the people are Y" in the EU timeline is tied into nationality - the govermment could operate without social legitimacy but the religion could not
Why did they start making it so I have to put in a special setting before starting the game to access the debug console?
>>2368082Johan is malding that people use the console to cheat in his magnum opus.
>>2368082just use glorp and have the option in the escape menu
>>2368083They did the same in imperator romewhich was also a johan gameI want to know what was wrong with the eu4 solution of letting you use it whenever you didn't do ironman
>>2368088see>>2368083
>>2368088Ck3 also doesn't allow console without debugIs it a Johan game? Cause it is very different from other paradox games
is colonization better here or in 4?
>>2368100It's the same but it's more tedious to discover sea tiles and coast.Press button, spend money, wait until province hit 1000 pop.
>>2368100It's a lot better in EU4 as you didn't hemorrhage pops to a new world or had to invest a ton of resources just to make them profitable.
>>2368100idk I only play in India with non-western colonization disabled
>>2368100Depends if you like to map paint or do some Danish west indies larp.For map painting EU4 is much betterFor small scale larp heavy colonies EU5 is better. Basically the more you want to colonize the better 4 becomes and the worse 5 becomes.
>>2368100Johan must visit pol a lot. I am saying that because by 1600-1650 europe achieves TNDDon't believe historians, mighty EVROPEAN BVLL is immune to malaria, jews just hindered african colonization by spreading misinformation. And, just by learning, black person can become white
>>2368100EU4 is less a pain in the assEU5 is more realistic: colonization is a huge money sink that offer no actual benefit to your nation. At best, you're doing it so your competitors don't get it (or, like me, you love blobbing and rush to lock all coast of america & africa and prevent anyone from entering the continent).
>>2368125I don't think this is true. You can't even really colonize single islands in eu5 unless you "cheat" the system
>>2368136In my last netherland campaign I colonized cuba, haiti and mexico and was making 5k a month trading cocoa. There was endless demands in the european market of which I think egypt was my biggest buyer.Sadly the other goods like tobacco and sugar were poop. I had ONE sugar plantation on haiti with 20 slaves building and it was producing like 500 units of sugar no one wanted to buy.
>>2368136Exotic resources offset it, or at least bring it closer to even...like real life
>>2368140Ridiculous that those aren't being bought
>>2368136colonizing key islands for cash crops was definitely worth itsettler colonialism was a net drain though
>>2368140Conquering manila and mexico markets worked out fir me well when I could trade a fuckton of chinese vases through pacific ocean. I don’t remember how much i made but the profit was enough for me not to worry about the rest of the playthrough
Will you finally admit you enjoy mana, national ideas and mission trees then?
Is there any way I can kill these rebels before they rebel and if they do rebel then do I lose all of my integration progress
>>2368163I enjoy simulations. I enjoy when therere deeper mechanics that makes the world function. That's not how EU5 works, everything in EU5 runs on money . And unlike Mana in eu4 the amount of money you get is exponential.
>>2368168You keep the integration progress iirc
I want to make a mod to expose EU5 as the fantasy game that it isYou just need localisation changes, rename cabinet members court wizards, cabinet actions with spell names, change stats to RPG stats (Int, Cha, and hmmm Str I guess) etc
>>2368031update for the one guy that cares (me)I used console to convert my heir to orthodox christianity, his mother died and he went back to armenia and instantly converted to islam so my second heir got the throneHope he enjoys farting around in his 2 province Caucasian vassal state.
>>2368039Yeah, but you missing a crucial detail here. In EU5 reformation happens anyway anytime for whatever reason. In eu4 you can cope because Austria is almost always an emperor, on the road to the universal monarchy. Remember, Luther would’ve been just another Hus at worst and most likely just some crazy dude most historians don’t really care about if not for Karl V and his efforts to buckbreak the german autonomy.In Eu5 reformation happens because…Pope bad. I know he lost all his lands in Italy and Avignon and right now resides in the illustrious hovel of Poopenfarten and with non historical event outcomes can even outlaw simony. But have you seen his hat?Maybe thats why almost everyone converts back into catholicism and it’s just small countries who survived the start of the game stay protestant
>>2368163Mana can be good in certain scenarios, but oftentimes it's too much abstractionNational ideas are whatever, I'd prefer bespoke mechanicsMission Trees should be AI only, the player should make their own goals instead of having their hand held and random bonuses/cores given out for clicking buttons.Also there should be a journal that outlines what DHEs are available to your country each age, and the conditions on some of them should be less retarded (ex. why is there like a 20 year time period where Anglicanism can spawn?)
The issue with eu5 is that they wanted to replace mana, ideas and mission trees but forgot to put in an actual alternativeAlso any moods that streamlines technologies? I am tired of looking through the tech tree choosing the same technologies every game.

>>2368401Eu5 is only good with 50 mods. Thanks johan
>>2368393>>2368395>>2368398thanks anonI'm impressed you got everything to work properly without compatibility issues
>>2368408Yeah i'm sure eu5 is unplayable without "More Quotes" and "Name over water".
>>2368411Kys eu4troon
>>2368414Nice argument Autismo.
>>2368414>not very suptle railroading mod>not eu4core
>>2367870I figured it out, there's a building only the Cornish get, it's in every region of every province and looks like a church but actually gives -25% control, Stannage Hall or something. I also found the proper control tool tip, it's a menu within a menu that needs mousing over. Shit UI
>>2368242They exist in the game with a flag and everything but it doesn't seem like you can form them. I guess they are locking it off for DLC in 10 years
>>2368443either that or they just imported everything from EU4 and forgot to remove the stuff that they weren't ever planning on using
>>2368438You shold probably sell these provinces back to england. I think only they can remove these buildings via event somewhere in the age of reformation
>>2367951>>2367951Are you writing this from London or sweden?
>>2368398For some reason game freezes on 15 of month with this playlist.Maybe just a me problem
>>2368443>>2368447both are equally likely imo
1.1.10 patch notes are mostly nothing, but this seems like it completely changes the game>Regular (professional standing) units no longer receive an additional +100% combat bonus on top of what levies already get, bringing them more in line with their intended role.
>>2368471with a couple of the active mods it adds a shit ton of new checks like the continental hegemons, i have hiccups occassionally too even with a top tier pc but the vast difference in game quality is worth it to me vs vanilla
>>2368576didnt really change shit. regulars are still space marines. mercenaries are just regulars without needing to spend tens of thousands on maintaining manpower infrastructure. warfare is cooked and has been for a while
>>2368578because the levy system sucks
>>2368584Yeah. It genuinely bothers me that Johan listened to the actual-fucking-retards who say that European levies were all retarded peasants with pitchforks. This has the knock on effect of noble levies being given the same modifiers, because oh yeah of course the nobility which were an actual warrior caste dedicating their entire life to combat aren't really professional soldiers vs some faggots given 30 days of training and are now """""regulars""""God I hate johan and I hope he dies
>>2368587It's the awkward sphere where regulars are way too costly to maintain if they aren't way better than levies but if just a small regular army beats levies then it invalidates a lot of your potential army strength.
>>2368591Also as the player you're in the awkward spot of minmaxing it or ocassionally seeing thousands of your pops die whenever you run into a regular heavy army
>minus 30 war score from my vassals sending individual armies of 3000 men to my enemys capital and getting stackwhiped
>>2368617enable scutage loloh wait it doesn't work and they join your wars anyway
>>2368617Your vassals are outsmarting you, they're trying to get high war participation to get more cash
>>2368617look on the bright side: this keeps their country strength low, so you can keep 6 million vassals without revolts
there really should be some way to move things around in your research queue to change the order
>>2368587>dedicating their entire life to combat
>>2368694>Tranime retard has a dogshit opinionThe nobility was born and bred to have fights. The reason they even WERE considered nobility was because of their honor and status, which derived from..... Their martial prowess, faggot
>>2368690They will need one year to figure that out after they learn how to solve vassal wars
>>2368707>he fell for thousand year old propagandaI bet you believe in trickle down effect too
>>2368624see>>2366199
>buckbroke the ottomemes so hard they event converted to catholicismI have no idea how this is possible since i have the rule "only within group" selected, but ok then
Is EU5 worth playing over EU4 yet?
>>2368707The true martial "sword" nobility were exceedingly rare.
>>2368755Maybe in the times of napoleon. Pretty sure, if we are talking late medieval period, nobility still was there for their liege to have space marines on horses.With the advent of gunpowder, of course, getting killed by a random peasant holding a boomstick was a more probable outcome for a noble knight, so they, largely, stopped participating in battle proper and were relegated to the leadership positions
>>2368759Again not really, the perception of an eternal noble class is fictitious and the majority of nobility were ennobled within their current or preceding generation, also medieval armies generally routed pretty quickly if they ever got on the backfoot, this isn't a calculation about honor, discipline, courage or weapons, but just the basic calculation that nobody wants to die and battles are chaotic affairs, especially in a pre-modern world.
>>2368448I'm playing a shattered world game? England doesn't exist but the mainland is dominated by Norfolk and Lincolnshire factions (which I conquered last night). I just released Cornwall as a vassal so I didn't have to deal with it. Bad ports there anyway and no towns so not worth the time/money to build it up.
>>2368761The fuck you on about, at Battles like Againcourt, Crecy and Poiters the French nobility took massive casualties
>>2368771Those were unique instances, it's not that it didn't happen but it was rare, part of the reason those battles are remembered is precisely because most battles did not go like that.
>>2368771The Roundheads kicking cavalier ass too>>2368774There are a lot of other examples from that time. Mostly due to knights charging headfirst into compact infantry lines.
EUROPEAN nobles were a professional warrior class. Anyone who says otherwise is a seething brown third worlder
The game runs like shit for me recently, at release it was much better.
ReminderEu4 has 1k more players than eu5 right nowAnd they're trying to sell a byzaboo fantasy dlc for it
>build building through event>cancel construction>the money i paid in the event doesn't get refundedfucking scammed
YOU NEED A FUCKEN DIPLOMA TO NAVIGATE THIS GAMES PERSONAL UNION SYSTEM AHHHHH
>Game played with core gameplay issues>First DLC is focused on LARPagan wewuzzing in the 15th CenturyClueless devs
>>2368884They did not delay the game to make it actually playable. What makes you think they will delay first dlc?
>>2368774They weren't unique at all, there are examples of King's and High nobility being killed in battle all over the period. Those examples were noted for how heavy their losses were in particular
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/eu5-closed-beta-applications.1913696/What did they mean by this?
>>2368921too much of the wrong kind of feedback and criticism came from the open beta program. finally a chance to hear only correct opinions from paradox approved creators
>>2368921Better they listen to a curated group of retards than thousands of other retards
>>2368921see>>2368921
How do i build up Control and Spread it? Don't tell me to build roads and Bailiffs.
>>2368942Could use rivers to your advantage as well. Pop a local governor high up a river, road + bridge along the way and it should help quite a bit.
You guys see paradox is trying to get people to work for free on their shitty game and recruiting from reddit no less. 10 hours a week, written reports, NDA, and of course no pay.https://www.reddit.com/r/EU5/comments/1s57t9j/eu5_is_looking_for_beta_testers_apply_here/
That's based if the unpaid EU5 slaves are on our side.
>>2368926>>2368935like when they left youtubers playtest the game and it was a bugged, unbalanced mess at release?
JumpscareAnyone know how to get more tribesmen? I have 200 Cossacks and if some disease kills them I lose all the cossack related advancements. They refuse to breed and Golden Horde does not have any tribesmen left either.
>>2368963Jewtubers have a vested interest in making the game "entertaining" for videos, not for playing.
>>2368964>Papal snake cutting across Naples>Ottomans in EuropeIs this grossEpiriusium in greece?
>>2368963Someone saying the game is bad and bugged doesn't mean the game will get better. Youtubers are particularly bad for feedback on gamesystems because they have fundamentally different values to someone playing. For a game to be fun for a player it has to have solid gameplay for hundreds of hours. For a game to be fun to watch you need to be able to squeeze out epic memes at fast enough rate that you can get a 10 minute video out every 2-3 days
>>2368942she must be sweating in that outfit poor girl
>>2368964Only through event, I think. Don't forget to give them privilage that blocks promotion and assimilation of tribesmen
>>2368964>Slutsk
huh?

>>2369029Delete your thread. This one is gonna stay up for another week.
>>2369037I apologize, I thought we were on page 9
>>2369040EU3 is still there
This explains a lot.Most of the current testers are the same faggot retards who helped eu4 become what it is, the steaming pile of alt history dogshit that it is.>Our expectations are more about communication and quality than raw hours put inthis is hilarious and really paints a picture, I bet they really appreciate that "quality communication" from testers who literally don't put any time into the game. For example not knowing FUCKING PARLIAMENT DIDNT WORK when they released a patch.
Do you rike it?
>>2369029THATS NOT YOUR POST NOW EVERYONE WILL THINK IM THE LOSER ATTENTION WHORE WHO OBSESSED WITH STARTING NEW THREADS IF I POST PERSIA AGAIN. I HAVE ALREADY BLOBBED WAY HARDER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>2368618Works for me, but sometimes I just straight up can't make vassal a scutage. The option isn't greyed out, it just doesn't appear
I am offering to host an MP game for us artists. You can say the n word.
