Guys, I get we don't like mission trees. But can anyone explain me what's the difference between them and having events that need requirements so specific to trigger them you need an ingame event viewer?

SIKE THAT'S THE WRONG NUMBER
>>2405581the bureaucracies are the biggest let down. They are just scaleable moneysinks that adds some more modifier stacking. Nothing simulationist about them, it is all just back to board game of EU4.

roads to power vs fate of the phoenix is honestly ludicrous. nakedly mogged by a sims game larping as a map painter.

>>2406013>old bad new good>things are improving
eu5 is hella fuckin based and the only people who disagree are blobbing eu4tards, redditors, and other assorted subhumans who can't understand the mechanics/just want their wc cheevo
>>2405877Johansisters.... how will cope now?
What the fuck have they done to the economy? I'm getting basically 0 value out of my Fine Cloth building because Novgorod is collapsing the price with their import.What the fuck am I supposed to do?
>>2406076Ship it back to them.
>>2406076Look at what's demanding it and increase that.
I've always had a soft spot for Theodoro. Also, DoD when?
>>2406076Oh God, they're going to end up adding Victoria 3 style tariffs, aren't they? Did Early Modern states even have such a concept?
Railroadchuds lost. You will enjoy blobheemia, superkiev, cucked ottomans, naples annexing the pope, BBB, dead austria, Spanish portugal, uberbulgaria in EVERY game and you will like it
>>2406057Look at crusader kings 3, the first dlcs were weaksauce, now it's getting more impressive, the game is becoming playable
>>2406114nothing impressive about ck3 to this day. literally reinstalled ck2 and ck3 today, gave ck2+hip a ride first then ck3 second. sufficient to say, ck3 has been once again uninstalled
>why would you play eu5 when ck3 does characters better?>why would you play eu5 when hoi4 does war mechanics better?>why would you play eu5 when victoria 3 does economics better?Do any of those games have granular per location population that actually matter?>v3Pops only exist per state. You can't see the culture and religion map change as you colonize/assimilate people.
>>2406094I think tolls and tariffs were part of your income in EU3.
>>2406118>>why would you play eu5 when hoi4 does war mechanics better?if i saw that argument anywhere i'd instantly know brown hands typed that shit
>>2406122Luckily it's just a strawman in my masterful play to depict anyone who disagrees with me as silly.
>>2406117Haven't all the modders abandoned it? Even for the persistent, the lack of support can be daunting, it has no future
>>2406127for major overhauls, yeah, CK3 is dead in the water. After the End, Elder Kings, Godherja, AGOT, all the good stuff is in ck3. BUT there is literally nothing similar to HIP or CK2+ for CK3, at best some steam collections trying to piece something together, but to no availto add to that, CK3 is just a worse game period. events are too long and too specific so you remember most of them after a campaign or two, mechanics like tournaments or courts are literal gimmicks, powercreep is everywhere, 3D characters are ugly as fuck, no historical soft railroading anywhere - I could go on and onone day some anon summed it up nicely - ck2 creates a story, while ck3 is a literal dollhouse
Fucking reddit meme dogshit>your king diesor>fuck you

>>2406118who the fuck cares about popsI just want to rape the french and the ottomans
>>2406135It happens too often and I hate that it's a heckin quirk chungus shiningerino reference, but it's not like there isn't historical precedent for monarchs being batshit insane.
>>2406122Look man, I get you spent at least 60 bucks on this mess and now you need to cope somehowBut if you're trying to say that random 0 morale stackwipes and cavalry on flanks are a better war simulation than literally designing your division, equipment, planes and ships, I'm just going to call you delusional.
>>2406144eu5 combat is shit, that is undeniablebut comparing eu5 combat to hoi4 is one of the most braindead takes there could be. you literally can't compare two, and if you think you can, you are a drooling retard
When discussing EU5 you have to clarify if you're talking about a non-existent "fixed" version of the game or the game as it actually exists.I think "EU5 combat" the idea is good. Standing regular armies being better than peasant hordes, the supply system, actual flanks for combat instead of it being abstracted through cavalry being able to attack diagonally like EU4.But combat as it actually exists in the game is dogshit.>your army instantly surrenders no matter what if they have 0 morale, even literally 1 vs 10,000>ai uses levies the entire game, even if they have a large standing army, resulting in 100k+ of their population being slaughtered wholesale every war>cavalry is wildly unbalanced, easily and instantly beating anything making any other combat metric, including combined arms, irrelevantI think the AI should NEVER raise levies if it has over 10k regulars, and should only raise levies past the age of discovery(1537+) if 10% of their country is occupied. Levies should only be the primary military force of your nation in the early game.
>>2405906Ulm
>>2406160one problem is that the forum tards want levies to = conscripts in later ages, when in reality they should = militia and seldom be used unless absolutely necessarynapoleonic conscripts were still regular troops, completely different from the militia systems
>>2406201In my ideal game levies would solely be used by third world countries in the mid/late game so Western Euros could roll up to India and btfo 100k jeets and take their land.
>>2406118>Do any of those games have granular per location population that actually matter?Play Victoria 2.
>>2406223Already played it to death.
>Sir, another 1 million pops have contracted smallpox.
>>2405478Elected him to the highest office, but sadly he's only had daughters, so they can't succeed him.
>>2406375Also, I probably shouldn't have colonized so much. I went from 250k to less than 100k now. Buildings cost +500% from being over cap.
>>2406379Do I try to salvage what little pops I have left or just keep sending them to the new world?
>>240637550% chance btw
>>2406036not really, if one wants to play EU4, just go and play it, no need to mold every other game into it
>>2406387What the fuck.Thousands of my pops have just started emigrating for no discernable reason. It doesn't tell me where to either.I stopped colonizing so I could recover my people...
Strats for playing as Sweden? Ideally focused on colonization and money making, the low population you have is a real bottleneck if you wanna go up against the titans of Germany. In my experience, the first 150 years are smooth sailing as you're just sitting there unifying Scandi and beating up Novgorod and co. for Finland and the Baltic, and then you gotta blitz colonization in North America for the LARP and the Caribbean for the dough, and then deal with the reformation and try to deal with the hellscape that is combat in EU5's HRE with all the locations and 40k+ deathstacks during the 30 Years War, I played with a mod that made it more devastating FYI but I never got sieged. I abandoned by previous playthrough just because of that to be honest.
>>2406094>Did Early Modern states even have such a concept?Not as a "market protection" tool, but more as a way of paying for government, since income tax wasn't really a thing. And yes, tariffs, import duties, fees, etc., were common all over the place. Free trade was an exception. An accurate medieval simulator would have cost friction points basically every step of the way unless you were dealing with, say, the hansa.
>>2406160Eh, there were cases like Poland-Lithuania which relied mostly on noble levies into the 1700s. England was oddly late to the party too. Even elsewhere, standing armies stayed rather small in peacetime. I don't think they started to get really massive before the later 17th century.I feel like regulars should differ from levies in other ways than combat prowess. Levy duty was typically very time-limited, so maybe past a certain point you should either cough up extra cash or risk a sharp drop in estate satisfaction. Okay for defense, not so much for protracted offensive campaigns, so it could help cut down on total wars too.
>>2406419Everything North of stockholm and oslo is worthless. Blob into Denmark and North Germany. Move your capital to copenhagen.Due to how winter works, literally all of Scandinavia is essentially worthless.
>>2406492Elaborate. Surely there's no problem encourage migration can't fix?
>>2406493Severe winters and artic climate is so bad outside of upgrading the rgo theres no point building anything there.
>>2406496Yeah, but the pops already there don't just die, so you just move them in and it's done.
>>2406497You'd be better moving the pops OUT of that area.
>>2406497>pops already there don't just dieLolLmaoGo ahead, take North Scandinavia and watch all the provinces wither to 1 population and because it's "severe winter" for 80% of the year, unless you're spamming markets day 1 and importing mass amounts of food, there's no recovering from it.Like I said, the land is entirely worthless outside of achieving formables. But even then you're better off blobbing into England and doing north sea empire. But you can go sweden->scandi->NSE to maximize all the techs. But ultimately you come to realize the land in England/lowlands/holstein/rostock and elbe areas are worth significantly more. The whole thing is a fruitless endeavor.If you really want a northern game, start as Denmark (better proximity speed and naval proximity buffs), then blob into sweden/Norway and then take London and keep chipping away at them until you get all the provinces for Scandinavia and then north sea formables. Then you blob into North Germany. It's not a particularly fun playthrough. Get used to permanently seeing "provinces are starving" notifications.Oh, and don't bother even trying to blob into Finland or baltics and st peterburg. Without immaculate RNG having navies spread maritime presence there just means you'll find out your stacks of ships died to lol Arctic sea weather out of nowhere.T. Played Denmark/NSE into 1650 before I got bored
If you go latin byz is it better to take the event to become catholic or is it better to just convert italy to orthodox?

So what's next for this game now that the reception of the latest patches has been mixed to mostly negative?
>>2406506It's kind of retarded that wild game and fish are affected by the entire winter food productivity penalty.>>2406530At least Papal States and Poortugal still live!
>>2406528The Hell? Golden Horde Prussia? No Ottomans? And that treaty port in Dover is cursed. I just wanna see Russia, Britain, and Spain actually form around their historical times for once.
>>2406530>>2406537go read a history book if you want history, chuds. line up go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

>Byzantine AI converted to Hellenism and I didn't even buy the DLCThis is how it begins, isn't it?
This is why levies don't belong in this game.>>2406602>feeling that jolt of dread whenever the disease notifier appears>that wave of relief when it's just another influenza
>>2406602t. died of bubonic plague in 1528
You should be able to change your age preference. Its bullshit I can never get a religious CB because I chose the wrong option 5 years into the game
Dead game.
>>2406603Gross
>>2406456I was thinking it would make sense if levies morale/organization drop on movement would get progressively worse the longer they were kept in the field and the further you took them from home, but idk
>>2406134I too played crusader kings 2 for several years after ck3, cause that game was barebones at launch, but my point is that paradox in all these entries does a snowball, the early content for the game usually turns out to be dogshit, years later though they're adding China, landless rulers, theocracies...that's a far cry from a tournament. You can actually see this in that Roads to power is a degree of detail down from the khanates, in turn under those pesky Japanese noblemen. In hoi4, the tree they gave to Switzerland is bigger than what fucking America had with man the guns, in Victoria 3 first they release some filler and THEN they redo the entire economy. You see where I'm going with this? It's not simply that old means bad, the more years a game has under them the more potent the updates yet. Eu5 released in an incomplete state, and fate of the Phoenix is a little toad of an entry, had this very dlc dropped five years from now it would be the size of godzilla instead
EU4 should have started in 1337EU5 should have started in 1444
>>24066381+3+3+7=141+4=5Hence it's called EU5
>>24066381+4+4+4=131+3=4Hence it's called EU4
>>2406602Funny because redditors are the target audience of this game and Paraslop has been taking a lot of their feedback along of forumtrannies who are the same people in the end of the day.
>>2406651>>2406658the power of foreshadowing...
>>2406632>the early content for the game usually turns out to be dogshit, years later though they're adding China
>>2406668NTA but AUH was a laudably massive expansion
>>2406668>>2406673Well yeah, they did add it and not just as an offmap entity
>>2406673>>2406674Adding garbage like India and China is the worst kind of nu-Paradox bloat. The map should’ve ended with North Africa and Persia.
>>2406686What's next, making the game take place entirely within the Holy Roman Empire?
>>2406686RoI was over a dozen years ago
Would've been a fun war if mamelucks didn't smell blood and invade with their 1 gorillion militarized arabs
Jesus Christ in heaven, Johan should be readying his balls for a flattening from Paradox execs. This is an actual disaster, I don't see how they can recover from this one if even DLC didn't pump player numbers enough to be at least a third of initial numbers
>>2406712took em just one week to get back to pre 1.1 levelsfire johan
>>2406712Don't worry, we're going to have a Dev Q+A :^)No we won't answer any tough questions. No we won't say anything that makes us look bad. No we won't give any specific answers as to how we're fixing anything. No we won't stop treating you like unpaid beta testers. But Johan will talk vaguely about how his 'vision' of the game is for things to be really really good and that things just work, so maybe in a few years and few hundred dollars of DLC that'll just suddenly be true! So can you just stop being so negative already?
We got to the point where even the forum and fucking reddit have become too negative and devs are actively avoiding any social. It's like watching a train derail at slow speed.
>>2406712At this point the only thing that can salvage the game is going the Imperator: Rome way.
>>2406766Haha no way they'd pull the plug on their baby like this, Johan is a DREAMER
>>2406767I was going to argue with you and say this game is a flop, but considering how cheap labor is in Spain and that the game was mostly coded by retarded inbred jeets I think they are getting a good amount of revenue from it.
Reminder that if you EVER don't use your Enforce Culture button on a subject the exact day it comes off its ten year cooldown, you are permanently falling behind. There is literally zero way to make up that time by excelling in or making sacrifices in other areas of the gameplay, you've just made yourself permanently weaker, whether it's by a day, a year, or decades. And since you need to control the subject for ten years before you can press the magic culture button, you need to always stay a decade ahead of the timer or else - again, you fall behind. This is Tinto's brilliant solution to people making the whole game revolve around culture converting vassals.
Why is this game so fucking anti-fun?
>>2406776Artists for some reason tend to despise the piece of art that made them well-known and popular in the first place. They clearly hate everything about EU4 despite it being one of the biggest cash cows they milked for more than a decade.
Do you think Johan wanted to make Victoria 3 but wasn't allowed to due to imp rome so when he got a chance to make eu5 he made the Victoria 3 game he envisioned
>>2406776I'm having fun though
You know what's funny? Johan mase eu4 so everything, like building stuff,costed mana and everyone hated itso they had to remove it. Then he did exactly the same for imp rome.
is there a way to disable alerts permanently?this fucking religious ability ready alert is popping up literally every month and the welcome to eu5 one every game is annoying too
>>2406843You have to right click them to move them to the muted alerts and then go to the muted alerts and unclick the bell icon.
>>2406776because it's made by johan (pbuh)if you don't like the game you're just a low IQ chud pedophile
I sincerely hope Johan kills every single one of you
>>2406893He already killed me of boredom as I played his slop of a game. Does it count?
Do your consort's stats matter? I think it only matters during a regency, so why would I care about the spouse's stats?
>>2405906There isn't much fun starts i supposeI only played byz and theodoro in 1.2 but in 1.0 i did>Tabaristan Last bavandid dynasty ruler there, rather hard to save dynasty(heir ,if you get one that is, gets whacked a lot) but turning country into Zoroastrian persia was kinda fun>Tadmekka Its tuareg vassal of Mali, can(could in 1.0 at least) expand into Air(formable) pretty fast via colonization, country is a blank slate with no tech, tribal government and sub 1 k pop at start(gets to 300+ k once you colonize)>Manx isleCould get independence fast and larp as norse raiders or just turn isle into megalopolis Big countries are no fun whatsoever
How do I turn off all the notifications related to the Patriarchates? I don't need to know that X nation joined and instantly left every month.
theres a measles "pandemic" that is "spreading" across western europe for the last 35 yearsit keeps coming back scaring me with the disease bannerit has killed 400 of my people, 33600 total. 35 yearsthis thing will never disappear, the moment a province has a month tick decaying the resistance from 100% to 99.9% it immediately comes back, kills nobody and then disappears until next month
>>2406712Literally all they have to do is put out a good stable patch. I was interested in playing again but I spent a bunch of time porting my personal mod from 1.1 that fixes a bunch of stupid shit that should've been fixed on release, then I realized they're still hotfixing and hotfixing and I'd have to re-update the mod again, and I realized I'd just be encountering new forms of stupid shit so why even bother. I'd rather just play something else and wait until the game is one day made stable and balanced. And if that day never comes I just won't play, sad as it isWhatever their dev process is, it only produces a minimum viable product that severely lacks testing. unless they totally overhaul the process their only choice is to run a months-long open beta for every patch, and given how fast they want to shit out patches that won't happen, so I don't know. What I do know is rapid unstable patches + low player count = modders give up on the game.
>>2406938>they just need to make a good patchwow
>>2406937That happening in every location on every tick has got to be epic for performance.
>>2406939I mean it sounds simple but clearly it isn't, they're shitting out patches like it's a checklist and as long as they check off all the boxes it's good to ship, even if it doesn't work. There are basic errors all over the scripts.Did you know it's almost impossible for the AI to marry lowborns to continue their dynasty, because whoever wrote the script added an extra 0 to the modulus? And it's been there since release? Nobody even checked and they still haven't checked.
>>2406937meanwhile smallpox will delete more people than the plague
>>24069381.3 will fix it, trust the planThe fact that they're going back to the open beta is an embarrassing way to admit they don't do QA and are just gonna outsource it to paying customers but at least we'll have a proper releaseFor what it's worth I like v1.2 desu, game is going in the right direction
I transheart doing nothing but spamming buildings, watching the line go up and losing pops to diseases for 500 years straight!!!!

Blobbing over to the New World to flip to their religion and then crusading through Eurasia to spread it sounds like a lot of fun actually.
>conquer province>spend few years integrating it>spend few decades converting the culture so it becomes a coreWill this get faster in age of absolutism?I'm plying as Ottomans with dozen cabinet members and events for faster integration yet it still feels like ages to core provinces.
>>2407018Try not giving a shit whether it's a core or not. They won't revolt once they're integrated. The only difference between integrated and core is a small amount of control, it's inconsequential provided you already have infinite money anyway, which you should if you've properly industrialized your nation.
>>2407018coring even existing as a mechanic in the game feels like they had two teams working on the game at once, like why do you need a 'core' or 'integrated' province to begin with when you have satisfaction and control (as well as various associated buildings) as mechanics?they should just go more towards to eu3 style of 'core' but also update the way that pops interact with one another.right now the way that you accept/tolerate pops is extremely expensive based on the way that pops view one another as well as the relative percentage of that pop as the total, but this means that the optimal way to play is to keep whichever country exists as the dominant nation of a pop around to press the 'improve opinion' button whenever it is off cooldown, and you can only do this in a limited way due to the associated cooldown which is global and not a per-pop basis.in reality the game should give you events that nudge cultural opinion on a slider towards 'kindred' or 'negative' and that should just provide bonuses/maluses to control or cause events/revolts to fire etcif johan wants eu5 to be le EPIC SANDBOX WAHOO then he should actually implement these kinds of mechanics
>>2407025Cores should only exist as claimsThey should provide no bonuses. Everything should be based on control and proximity.
>>2407027cities should be natural proximity sources
I'm just sick of every market having a huge surplus of goods constantly.Completely remove burgher trades from the game, they do too much to equalize every market. It should be expected and normal for some markets just not to have shit.
>>2406766To go the Imperator route they'd have to fix the game before abandoning it, which will apparently never happen
>>2406938>Whatever their dev process is, it only produces a minimum viable productI wonder what kind of development tool could've been released during this game's pre-release that made it extremely easy for them to keep shitting out MVP software that sort of works and almost makes sense
>>2407022It's a 15% max control difference that will fuck with your magically scaling costs, and now your crown power too
>>2407034It's weird, they designed this whole supply and demand system but when they made the map they ensured every market naturally has every RGO it needs.They put a fur location like 2 miles from Nanjing. It's got millions of people in it. What did they think would happen?They added starvation mechanics, then balanced food distribution so nobody starves. Huh?
>>2407050Yeah, but so what?Ultimately it only effects money, and that shouldn't be a problem for you.Hell, you can even close buildings in low control areas if you wanted to be extremely autistic about it so that they contributed less to your overall wealth.
>>2407055average control also affects research ratethey should let you spend money mana to improve research speed
>>2407054About starvation specifically, something they should add but obviously never will is targeted food purchasing.For example, you might want to pay for food in the London province, because it's naturally at a net negative due to being three city locations, but you might not care if Connacht starves because they people there all hate you, and it's low control. But under the current system you either pay for all food or no food, so either Connacht and London live or Connacht and London die.

The antagonism reduction from the Ottoman reform is honestly better for the natural borders of Egypt/South Italy/Balkans.
>>2407097im also trans btw if that matters
I dont get this schizo's point. There is no direction for you to follow so blobbing is literally the only thing you can do in eu5. The funny thing is, you get debuffs for low average control and for having subjects, so you are punished for the only thing this game allows for. As it stands now, there is 0 difference between, lets say, blobbing into germany, hungary or eastern slavs as Poland
Cores should be removed. They're a relic of a game with a high degree of abstraction ie. EU4. In this game you can model the satisfaction, loyalty and rebel tendency of each individual pop. Base the control level and unrest from those instead of a magical 50% culture threshold.Remove integration as well. You have an economy system, borrow from Vicky and introduce bureaucracy. You don't click the magic cabinet button to abstractly "integrate" a province, you need to actually integrate it into your new state. You need buildings, paper, and bureaucrats. Accepting the culture and court language of existing bureaucrats in areas you province will make integration faster, like the Ottomans integrating Greek Byzantine bureaucrats to run their state. Or take a lesson from Mughals and import your own Persianate bureaucrats into your Indian conquests.
>>2407109>blobbing is literally the only thing you can do in eu5.Incorrect. You can developmax your homeland and build up the economy. That was the best part of Imperator anyway, seeing civilization grow and expand from nothing.
>>2407112In Imperator you actually have things to spend money on
>>2407112>you can play tall!Tall is boring as fuck. And you can't really scale that well with only 1 province or location.
>>2407112>You can developmax your homeland and build up the economyDo you think that you can't do that if you're also taking other people's land in wars? Is deciding what buildings to make next so extremely difficult for you that you couldn't do it if you also had to drop down to speed 5 every now and then to stackwipe the AI with your mercenaries? Is placing down roads and mass building the new burgher or soldier building you tech'd so exciting and tense for you that you enjoy staring at build timers ticking down for 50 real life hours? I mean I really don't understand this argument.You get a couple new laws and government reforms every age, which each take a couple clicks to lock in, and may let you push one or two values a bit further, but that's all set and forget. After 100-200 years your estates are completely toothless and only have the privs you want them to have. Managing vassals is done by keeping your diplo slider on and doing Improve Opinion on each of them. Tinto know that these mechanics are simple and boring as hell, which is why 1.5 in the roadmap talks about how they're going to overhaul them.
What the fuck is the war goal in a restore Roman borders CB war? The CB tooltip implies it's to capture and hold the enemy capital, but I do that and still have "defender ticking -25" all the time.

>>2407097half of that isnt even true, different nations, religions and cultures do get magical buffs and they will keep adding more and more of those in every patch, there arent too many mechanics in the game if anything it is too barebones and extant mechanics do not serve the purpose they are supposed to and there is literally not one single player in the game who actually bothers to micromanage their trade
>>2407111I'm not sure rebels really exist in this game, I have never had a major revolt or problems arise from revolts.
>>2407112at what point do you go from tall to blob
can you truly be said to be punished for blobbing when you can just scale your economy in your high control locations and losing out on a small amount of research each month is mostly irrelevant since you can just keep expanding and scale past any need to out-tech any ai opponent, especially since you can just merc up and obliterate them
>look up estate privileges meta>a bunch of privileges you should ALWAYS give no matter the country>a fuckton privileges you should give most of the time no matter the country>a few situational privileges >a bunch of privileges you should NEVER give no matter the country No wonder any country feels the same.
>>2407188>i-i can still blob>j-johan lets me as long as i develop a tall area of my nation like a good boy first!blobtards in full ensieg rn
>>2407188correct. nothing you do in the game is appropriately punishing or rewarding. you might as well just use observer mode
>>2407190In fairness a lot of the privileges are situational edgecases where deciding to take them or not matters, but some of them are straight "kick yourself in the balls and die" tier.
>>2407190>look up meta>UHHHH WHY DOES EVERYTHING PLAY THE SAMEjesus christ the modern paradox audience is retarded
>>2407190I lost interest in the privileges system when I found out that the ones that reduced food consumption in exchange for RGO size had been bugged since release. Why even try anything new if it's always a coinflip for whether the mechanic even works?
>>2407196even if you did not look up a video on what is good to pick you would naturally converge on what is good to pick anyway which in eu5 is remarkably easy since there are very few estate privileges where you actually have to think about if you should give it out or not
>>2407192This is like saying that you can't blob in EU4 because governing capacity means you can't effectively harvest your non-stated full core land due to low autonomy and that you are forced to play tall and build/develop primarily within your full core full state land.
>>2407199The fact that you felt the need to look up a video on the meta of a single player game shows that you're a retard though.
>>2407201you cant even tell when youre replying to different people
>>2407200this makes no sense on multiple levels btw
>>2407204You will build the Temple, Workshop, Barracks and Manufactory and then blob and like it, sandboxxie.
estates are another gamified and pointless system and vastly inferior to what existed in vic2
>>2407203I accept your concession
>>2407158This! I am glad we have a true simulation where dynamic historically plausible things happen in every game like Kiev dominating eastern Europe! Railroadsissies lost.
>>2407222Hate mission trees, hate the bajillion modifiers, hate the buffs from easy as shit missions. I will enjoy EUV for it does not have mission trees.Mission trees are for cucks because you always get cucked out of completing it

>>2407225have fun with your soon to be abandoned product :)trans rights are human rights xister!
>>2407222this but unironically
If I wanted a recreation of history I'd go watch a video. I think its cool that different countries colonize and come into power than what happened historically. The main issue is that it is the SAME ahistorical countries.So much of history *almost* didn't happen and hinged on abitrary events or close battles. If you went back in time and squished a butterfly, history would likely play out way differently. That is what the game strive to "simulate"

>>2407256/gsg/ isn't sending its best
>>2407112Imperator is literally THE blobbing game.
>>2406412Thisnis what happens when you build foreign buildings. (Trade Posts, Overseas Trading Posts, Slave centers), the pops are sourced from your capital. It's the #1 reason you shouldn't build Overseas Trading Posts. The pops you lose aren't worth the meager trade capacity you get.
What am I supposed to do about control on islands? I'm playing Byz and just got Crete and Cyprus back. I thought the main way was supposed to be maritime presence, but if I tell my navy to patrol the seas around, say, Crete, it'll just pick one sea tile to sit in and slowly build up presence. REAL slowly. Like, leaving it in that sea tile for 100 years won't get it to max maritime presence levels of slow. And then I'm supposed to let it move over to the next tile to repeat it again just to get control here?Don't tell me vassalize it. Am I really expected to have a permanent vassal for each island because the game's mechanics don't let me control a piece of land that the real Rome and later Byzantium controlled with no problem for centuries?
>>24072761. Early ships are really shit at generating maritime presence, to the point it isn't worth bothering with them, just have a single ship with a crown character as admiral for crown power +25%.2. When you finally unlock light ships you should be absolutely spamming them in to a doomstack to get maritime presence up quickly. As many as you have sailors for, 50+
>>2407278OK, but that's still a retarded system. I need to pay all that gold to make 50+ light ships just to park them on a single sea tile to get some control on a fraction of the island?
>>2407282It works by provinces. You park a 50 stack on a "province", that simultaneously increases naval proximity in 4-6 sea tiles, then when they're all at 100 you break off however many ships are needed to maintain 100 maritime presence (usually 10 with the first light ships, tapering off to 5 with upgraded ones) and start again with the next province.Yes, it's a lot of micro, but the results are the sea is dirt cheap to spread proximity over. With a dock, wharf, and protected harbor in locations a and b it's basically 100% control.
>>2407286This chore is part of what made me quit. A patch where they just fixed the naval patrol mission would be a gamechanging update for me.
>>2407292Naval patrol missions works already.
>>2407297Not if you want to maintain 100 presence everywhere. It should park them in one province and then split off a maintenance fleet like the OP described.
This game would be infinitely better if they increased the passive gain of things (assimilation, conversion, development, integration) and REMOVED cabinet advisors from the game all together.
Just noticed small nations are sitting with 200+ buildings in their cities at the end of 15th century.Is this common or a recent bug?
>>2407313Why would that be a bug? There is no downside to building more and more unless you desperately need migration to the location.
>>2407315I don't get why they made the punishment for being over the building cap an emigration push.1. It's unrealistic, in real life more people would want to come to the place with more jobs.2. In the game it just expounds the problem forever. People leave, which reduces the building cap further, so more people leave, etc, etc. You're basically forced to cuck yourself.
>>2407317They probably still have a net positive migration, especially if they add a court wizard.
>>2407313>>2407315>>2407317>>2407318>Just play tall!>Playing tall results in your country depopulatingLol
>>2407325>people don't want to live in a vertical favela>this is bad game design o algo
>>2407326meanwhile in history everyone wanted to live in constantinople, rome, paris, london et cetera even though they were insane disease infested pits of death
>>2407326>Thriving metropolis rife with opportunity and services>Um, no thanks>Rural province with no infrastructure?>YABBA DABBA DOO
Sandboxxietroons smothered EU5 in the cradle.
>>2407332Ironically troons are the ones keeping EU4 alive through Anbennar. Without them it would be deader than EU5.
migration is totally fucked in this game desu, for starters why is it limited to only being within the market?
>>2407329they didnt doe. people moved to these cities because they were forced by the government (paris, london) or because of local harassment (constantinople, rome)
>>2407334saying the quiet part out loud but it's so there isn't a repeat of victoria 3 style migration where the entire new world becomes indian by the 1860s
>>2407341you could avoid that by adding laws to limit foreign migration, tech requirements/penalties etc for migration between markets of different distances and so onas an example an indian pop making it all the way to europe is extremely unlikely before a certain timeframe because they arent even aware of most of europe and even if aware of european markets it would need enough migration attraction to want to move there instead of a neighboring marketcascading migration would also be relatively unlikely since pops are cultural rather than ethnic so it would probably be assimilated to some persian and then turkic or levantine before arriving in europe and promptly being assimilated to swabian or whatever (cultural assimilation is another issue)
Daily reminder that the schizo obsessed with blobbers is a retard that plays neither EU5 or EU4 and just desired to hate on the latter for some obscure reason. I suspect farming easy (you)s
>>2407226Never asked, you can be a proboscis monkey for all I care. >>2407231It is in the name so of course they are human rights. What are you retarded? Unless of course you are implying that trans people are less than human, if so then you need to reconsider your life.
>>2407225>>2407232Sunk cost fallacy
>>2407352>Sandboxxie directly admits he's a mentally ill trannyKek
>>2407348It would add a lot of computational power needed and with it, lag. Something the game already has too much of. Currently migration is simply a check if bigger number true. That system works while using relatively low CPU demand.What you're suggesting would go from this simple check to having to add tech checks, distance checks, for EVERY location.On the pure issue of what Paradox is willing to do, they will never put ANY effort into simulating anything that upsets their neoliberal sensibilities. They wouldn't have Europeans restrict non-European migration. They wouldn't add objections to certain cultures coming in, it would just be a free for all. Java, China, and India start overpopulated, so every single game start would involve hundreds of thousands of Chinese emigrating to Japan and Korea. Hundreds of thousands of Indonesians emigrating to Cambodia. Hundreds of thousands of Indians emigrating to Persia.In a game where Iraq becomes Mongol in 100% of playthroughs I would rather keep migration limited to individual markets if it means we avoid this bullshit.Victoria 3 is a prime example of how your theory would go in practice. For THREE YEARS of the game's development there would be a mass migration of Indians to the US and Canada every single game. Dozens of states would become majority Indian. When this was brought up on the forum what do you think Paradox did? They ignored it. If the user dared mention that the US and Canada wouldn't accept Indians in the 1840s on racial grounds they were banned.EVENTUALLY they fixed this by adding a discrimination mechanic, but that didn't change the fact the game was broken for years and their response was it was WAD because they were simulating "a better world" where "people didn't care about made up concepts like race."I mean look at fucking slave centers in current EU5. They free the slaves instantly because Africans won't take their own as slaves. How long do you think it will take for that to be fixed?
Didnt timmy buckbrake the golden horde which led to its collapse? why does a gross east slav coalition kill it every game instead?
>>2407363They can't simulate major events with nuance. Even if they did it this way Timmy would BTFO them and then the Russians would sit around like impotent cucks grieving their fallen master.I've said before and I say again, they need some sort of a power vacuum mechanic whereby other nations smell blood in the water and start dogpiling. It could have been complacency but redditards got mad their blob was being curtailed.
>>2407364>I've said before and I say again, they need some sort of a power vacuum mechanic whereby other nations smell blood in the water and start dogpilingTo be fair, this happens with the GH but because war mechanics are jank supreme, they somehow sit for centuries with a broken economy and an army of 200 people yet no Slavs take land from them. They're perpetually in civil wars which breaks the war mechanics.>the Horde is declining! Here's a free CB, go get their land!>whoops it seems "rival warlord" sieged this border province first, and you can't annex it anymore since they automatically take control of it, guess you aren't taking land :( try again in 15 years
>>2407370Yes, but that's artificially created through free CBs and events. I want a dynamic system where a country that has no possible rivals, a corrupt and entrenched ruling class, and no impetus for existing becomes decadent and weak, and all their neighbors decide to start shit.When the Ottomans went to war with the Mamluks the Ottomans were a dynamic strong power facing enemies on all sides. The Mamluks however were a husk barely keeping able to perpetuate their own rule. There NEEDS to be a mechanic that simulates this dynamic.
>>2407364>I've said before and I say again, they need some sort of a power vacuum mechanic whereby other nations smell blood in the water and start dogpiling. It could have been complacency but redditards got mad their blob was being curtailed.This already happens but nations just find it impossible to properly gather warscore especially against GH who wind up in a rebellion at the same time
I am neither a sandboxer or railroader. I just enjoy numbers going up and down.
>>2407370>>2407376This can be very easily fixed>if you're in a war with a country and they get into a civil war, both factions immediately join the war against you, so you can't cheese truces>if a country is in a civil war, you can either use any regular CB which gets you in war with both factions, but it also opens an "Intervene in Civil War" CB that only puts you at war with one side but makes taking land very expensive, 4th Crusade style
They clearly set expectations too high and delivered too little. Why even show those Swedish, Indian, VLM blobs in the trailer if your game actually discourages territorial expansion?
>EU4 vs EU5
ever notice how people criticizing eu4 will list actual mechanics and playstyles they dislike (ulm wc, mana, etc) but people criticizing eu5 just say "eu5 bad" "player numbers"almost as if they lack the intellectual capacity to articulate their feelings
>>2407385eu4: 4/6/5 ruler with conqueror, charismatic negotiator and zealoteu5: got the idiot trait at age 2, was given a diplomatic education, embezzler + babbling buffoon and greedy

>>2407383They had no choice VtM2 plummeted their fiscal year
>>2407392least disingenuous EU5 shill post
>ulm wc, mana, etc>meanwhile eu5
>>2407448Blobbing in 5 is even easier than 4, especially early in the game when warscore is mostly given by battles and early regular troops.But sandboxsissies' clitties leak when you point it out and immediately go back to shitting on EU4.
I refuse to go back to playing a game without pops

Every couple of months, I get hit by the flag for disloyal vassals. My vassals are all loyal and have positive opinions of me, then a month where nothing changed ticks over and bam, they're all at -200 opinion of me. When I hover over the opinion breakdown, it doesn't even look that bad to me. Looks like it should be positive, in fact. What is causing it to spontaneously plummet to -200 all the time?
>>2407592you're playing the game wrong, blobber. vassals are cheating and this is the game warning you to stop cheating
>>2407560My bet is seven questions total, and while they'll all be softballs they'll also throw in one absolute fluffball like "what's the most EPIC moment you've had in your internal multiplayer game" that a real person totally asked them, you wouldn't know them though because they go to a different school
There is just too much negativity going on for them not to feature at least 1 negative question. It's going to be a really soft question which they are going to response to with shit like "we're already looking at it and you can expect changes in the near future"
>>2407616I can't imagine the response to that being good. Really I don't see anything they can do to improve their PR situation at this point. They just have to start making better patches faster.
What is the meta for a number of locations i should give my custom subjects to not get diminishing returns while annexing?
>>2407631There's no hard and fast answer because you still get a scaling annexing speed boost for having 10x or more population than them. But really, the important limiting factor isn't annexation speed, it's the Divinely-given rule that says you can only tell one subject to change their culture or religion once every 10 years. "Optimal play" now requires you to think about the next hundred year's worth of antagonism you're going to generate, how much land you're going to take with it and how many cultures are in it, and what 10 flips you'll do in it. The best general guideline I can give is to make subjects along culture boundaries and split each culture into 1 to 3 subjects - maybe more if it's a huge one like Castilian or English, and half as many if you need to flip religion too.

>>2407775AIIIIIIIIIIIIE WHY ARE YOU BLOBBING????????????????????????
>>2407780Knowing the faggot del sverige that Johan is, it's probably hard coded. Much like the HRE unification crash, the bug is in the hard coded internal c++ logic files.
1. number of pops you directly lost to disease2,3. current pop, the graph shows the relation between the two (though it doesnt make as much sense since pops that died to disease in territory before you conquered it doesnt count)4. currently active diseases with numbers for how many pops you lost to the type (measles here) over the campaign + how many of them are currently active in your country (it should show off the total number of measles outbreaks but the game forgets about old diseases so its broken)5. number of affected countries6. global deaths to this particular outbreak7, country deaths to this outbreak
more pops dead to smallpox than two (2) plague outbreaks
The sandboxxie argument of "you shouldn't ever blob" would be slightly less retarded if there was literally anything to do in the game besides make formables (see: conquering) or achieve absurdly specific DHE conditions. Even krakow in vicky2 has more unique events and flavor than all of the top ten "unique content" tags in EU5.
The thing with blobbing is, there are so many locations and there is so little railroading that you need to blob even if all you want is to achieve historical borders and then keep playing tall.Sweden at the game start is already big, micromanaging all those locations is hard but if you want to form Scandi you will end up with like 3 or 4 times that many. Haven't played much as Poland but from what I know people usually just conquer Lithuania to form PLC. And don't even get me started on micromanaging your locations as Russia.Hell, even Holland into Netherlands requires you to "blob" because there are so many fucking locations

chat, i hate johan but i hate blobbers more, which side should i be on in this shitflinging contest?
Why do sandboxtroons try to depict railroadchads as blobbers? Is this their new discord marching orders?
>>2407809that isnt blobbing because it was historical and if you play a historical tall nation like england its okay to blob into india and the usa
EU5 has a negative migration attraction and the event where pops migrate to its rival fired and there are 100 players migrating to the EU4 province each month for the next 60 months until the location is left with 1.
>>2407877And I will be that one, you blobbing fuck.
>>2407880How many locations can you obtain through conquest and diplomacy in Europa Universalis 5 before you stop being 'Tall' and start being a 'Blob'?
Lord, they're making me open the folder again...
Eu4troons and sandboxxies are the same group.
if you take a single location that is outside of whatever your selected nation did historically, you are blobbingulm is forever limited to one province that you can manage the buildings in
>>24078821806 is a pretty casual date for a WC.
Ideal game is having perfect, aesthetic, historical borders and staring at the map, unchanging, while you build up inside those borders.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N69cQuAqgSgI will not be taking questions on this.
Notice how a single post of an EU4 WC completely kills the blobbers and they leave the thread, defeated. They are ashamed of what they are, they can't defend it. Sure, they can blindly attack EU5 for not being "fun", but when you expose them for what they are they shrink away.

what is blobbing
>>2407905The reason people don't do WC's in EU5 is because the game is too boring and the performance is too bad. It's not that it's too difficult, it's that people can't be arsed to press the buttons long enough.
>>2407918Most people also do not do WC's in EU4, or any other Paradox game for that matter.
>>2407904Ironically the original Ulm meme comes from someone doing just that. They solely expanded through vassals.
>>2407921This is blobbing.
eu3 invented the decentralized vassal meta.... vgh....
>>2407920Ye but content creators and challenge runners also don't want to bother
>>2407907The vast majority of people don't play ironman generally, and an even smaller percentage of WCs do.The fact even 2.2% of people do WCs is disgusting, let alone the fact the actual statistic is much higher.
>>2407933It's actually smaller since a good portion of those who have a WC achievement used an achievement unlocker or the console.

Unifying Spain is blobbing
>>2407936How much of a fucking loser do you have to be to unlock achievements for a grand strategy game?
>>2407944I don't understand why people do it, but it is fairly common. A simple Google search will show you various download sources for unlockers and YouTube videos with tens of thousands of views talking about how to unlock achievements using them.
>>2407943I unironically agree in the sense that if you start as Castile and unify the peninsula it should feel like an achievementInstead they had to force the AI not to accidentally eat portugal and granada still lives to 1600
spain can take all of this without blobbing but if they colonize a single location in the thirteen colonies it becomes a blob

>>2408146I've played Russia, England and Ottomans, and I got sick of the dynamic events every year.But let me guess, if it's not a mission tree giving you free cores and modifiers it's not flavor, right?
>>2408148Very few mission trees in eu4 gave free cores.Usually it was a temporary mod that wasn't even game-breaking.As usual eu5fags exaggerate everything.
>>2408151Pulling up the EU4 wiki for Russia:First mission, rally the army, requires having 80% force limit.Gives claims on entire Russia region.Second mission, invade Novgorod, requires owning 15 provinces in Novgorod.Gives claims on Ruthenia.Third mission, conquer Ruthenia, requires owning 20 provinces in Ruthenia, gives claims in Poland.You were saying, blobtard?

In glad we have a historical sandbox where kyiv is the only power east of bohemiaI also like byzantines curbstomping ottomans every gameI also like portugal not existing past 1490I love bohemia annexing austriaI enjoy naples blobbing all of italy and taking time with no consequenceI like timur dying of old age at 32I like every single country being ran by randomly generated dynasties because all the historical ones die out in two generationsI like China being the hegemon of EuropeI like indians and Africans being given the exact same unit and ship types as EuropeansI like Japan being completely unplayable since launchI like AI written Tinto talksThis is a historical sandbox, chud. If you want the game to play out like history just go read a book lol
I don't understand what I'm meant to do about culture. If I expand, I'm going to have other cultures in my lands. I can improve my own culture's influence via art, but it seems to cap at a certain point because despite max art spending, my monthly cultural influence now goes down instead of up. Even with soft capped cultural influence, there is absolutely zero conversion happening in my lands, mainly due to being spiritualist, but pushing humanist early game is not feasible. I can accept one or two cultures, but that's it. I could tolerate more, but tolerating seems to do literally nothing so why would I? So I'm left with a bunch of unconvertable lands that are constantly rebelling against me, and if I make them all vassals, the vassals are disloyal because together they'd overpower me. It seems impossible to solve any way other than "never expand".
>>2408182Sorry chud this is a tall gameAlso you will hit building cap in 50 years so don't go too tall, that's like blobbing but upward! Do nothing and hope you'll get a 1% monthly proc for a painter DHE. Ahhhhh, the flavour!
>No cooldown on Enforce Landfriede:D
For a non meme answer to culture and conversion, you spam libraries (requires a town) to get your cultural influence up. It decays at 5% a month so no matter what you'll only ever build 20x your influence/tradition as a bank. Then you set YOUR opinion of the target culture to enemy, and accept that culture. This will give you cores on it after you integrate the conquered province for 30-40 years. Then when it's cored, you increase control with a wizard and then assimilate to your culture with another wizard. You do this until the target province has 50% of your primary culture in each spot, then you de-accept the target culture and you'll get back the -75% acceptance assimilation debuff.If this all sounds very fucking retarded, it's because it is. You have to integrate to core, and if you don't core you have a flat -10 assimilation malus. So you need to accept a culture you plan on killing off to get to the 50% threshold to then be able to flip it back to discriminated and call them properly.
>>2408182>I can improve my own culture's influence via art, but it seems to cap at a certain point because despite max art spending, my monthly cultural influence now goes down instead of up.Libraries, Universities. Also as you begin to blob into other cultures lands and eliminate their nations, their cultural tradition falls faster and faster.
Also, I'm going to autistically break down exactly what the cost of killing off a single culture is. Using bohemia as an example, to kill off silesian.First, this isn't going to include calculation for making their culture like yours, which requires you to have 25 favors with their dominant nation, or to have that dominant nation as a vassal. The cooldown on non-vassal is 10 years, and 50 years for a vassal. let's say that culture has a view of yours as "enemy" (see greek:bulgarian) that would mean 4 rounds of this. 40 years minimum for favor swapping, 200 years sitting on a vassal. But, let's ignore that retarded dogshit system entirely.First, integrate. 30 years probably early on because your cultural influence will never be much higher than their tradition until mid 1400s minimum. That's one wizard for each province. 30 years doing that instead of encouraging development or working on your sliders.Now it's integrated, great. But you need cores because the control malus and built in -10 assimilation malus. You better hope this pop has 2.5% of your total pop amount, or you can't accept it. Lol. So now you set your view of them to enemy. going from neutral to enemy is 20 prestige, going from discriminated to accepted is another 10 prestige.You then park two wizards on a single province, one assimilating, the other increasing control. This process can last 10-30+ years depending on how many of them [the pop you want gone] exist. Of course, once you hit the cap of control possible you'll then be microing your control wizard to other stuff and putting him back there every few years to ensure fast assimilation.Ok, now you've gone and afk'd for a couple hours, and you now have 50% of your primary in each location in this province. You can then remove the accepted status for 7-10 stability each level and 5 prestige, so another 10 prestige and 15-25 stability. But you still need a wizard there indefinitely if you want to have 70-90+% of that area as your pop
>>2408197because now that plurality of discriminated pops will tank the satisfaction which then hurts control, lel. so now you've got to leave that assimilation wizard until you're happy.and this is the bare minimum, for one province, for one small culture, of which there are dozens and dozens in any region.thats anywhere between 80+-250+ years depending on which culture and how many provinces, with 2 minimum wizards and preferably 3 on a cycle of micro and watching timers. It's fuckingretarded
>>2408186there is a cooldown but the ai ignores it, previously people would declare multiple wars in order to cheese past the cooldown however i have tested it and the AI emperor will enforce against you even if you declare a new war 1 month after having another forcibly peaced
>>2408197>>2408198Serious question, what is your issue with just keeping land integrated? Why must literally every tile be your core?
>>2408202In order for the line to go up as much as possible, the territory must become as integrated as it possibly can be.
>>2408202Because you hit a hard cap of being able to accept cultures. Even as a unified italy, you will hit the cap of 4 cultures if you accept every italic culture. this is why you want to just eliminate them. and integrated provinces have that -10 flat assimilation debuff, which means you can't do shit about them unless you get some serious buffs and park a wizard there for 50+ years.
>>2408181>and taking time with no consequence>timeI like phoneposters who forget to turn off their autocorrect
>>24082064 culture acceptance mana* sorry.
>>2408207you showed him xister!
>>2408205>>2408206But why? Why does everythinf have to be min-maxederino? Why can't you just accept you won't have optimal control modifiers over a place that isn't your culture and embrace it as part of the historical simulation?
>>2408211I'm trying to play tall so I need to min-max my provinces.
>>2408216Play tall in your own culture provinces. Keep the non-culture ones as a colonial periphery.
>>2408211Because with how slider costs work, having non-cores is worse than having anything at all
>>2408218I'm playing a nation that historically played tall (England)
>>2408224Then you shouldn't have to convert anyone.Accept the Scots. Highlands are a backwater so they don't matter.
>>2408223Slider costs are based on the wealth of the locations. Just build up in locations you have 66%+ control in and ignore locations you don't have control in.
>>2408202Cores are 400% as good as integrated land. It's extremely obvious why people want to core as much land as possible.
>>2408226Part of playing tall is making the most of the provinces I have available to me, so I have to be able to accept or convert every location in the isles to maximize productivity.
>>2408229And if it's below 66% control it's useless. Ergo, that's why you want cores. I didn't design the systems. I just play the hand that's dealt me.
>>2408232It's not economically profitable, but it can still have its uses. Armories, docks, wharfs, and training fields can still be built for generating soldiers/sailors. Also whatever goods are built there will still go to the market, where you can trade them for a profit or use them to to make better goods in your core.
>>2408231The highlands are never going to be worth shit due to their mountain terrain and distance from London, you don't need to bother coring them.
>>2408230But it isn't necessary to play the game. For me it's more fun to play with the self-imposed and realistic handicap of having different parts of your empire be different cultures.
>just handicap yourself bro, that's real fun!Lol sandboxxies are mentally ill
>play as england>accepting lowland scots is easy and frictionless as they already basically are the same as you>beating the highlands into submission is a multi-decade long affair requiring disproportionate involvement of the state due to the rugged terrain and objection of the nativescan someone tell me what part of this im supposed to be mad about? this is based, realistic, and historicalsorry eu4tards but the blobbing will STOP
>>2408239>i hate simulating history, i want a one faith one tag one culture wc any%
>>2408245>Eu5>Simulating historyOh yeah like mamluks and golden horde existing until 1800s kek
>>2408251So you want to make it even less historical by converting every single culture to yours?Least self-contradictory blobber.
>>2408238Building things isn't necessary to play the game either. Holding parliament isn't necessary to play the game. Assigning wizards to do anything isn't necessary. What is this argument that you're stupid on purpose yet everyone else needs to explain their actions?
>>2408253For me not being a min-maxxing fuck is vastly more entertaining than one faith one tag one culture wc every game. I'm sorry you lack the ability to immerse yourself in the game.
>>2408252I'm trans btw
>>2408255>Playing the game is le minmaxxing>Calls eu5 historical>Calls artist DHEs immersiveHoly shit it's actually johan
>>2408256Good for you, pal. Most blobbers are.
>>2408257Converting the entire world to your culture is min-maxxing, yes.EU5 is aiming to be historical, yes.Artist DHEs are immersive, yes.
>>2408255>Ask question>Get answer>Instantly start making up shit>Be a cuntHow do you not see what a pathetic loser you're being right now?
>>2408259>>2408258Hi johanPlease retire and let someone competent fix your game
>>2408260What exactly have I made up? You freely admit you want to culture convert everything to make it a core, if holding a mirror up to you being a blobbing fuck upsets you so much maybe consider the implications of that.
>>2408263I'm trans btw
why are you afraid to create large vassals? ireland and scotland weren't ruled by directly by england until near the end of the game.
>>2408262Please stop complaining you can't blob anymore. It's very tiresome. You can go back to EU4 if that's all you want, EU5 is for people who aspire to greater things.
>>2408264You're very brave for admitting that, now if you'll just admit you're a blobbing retard who is terminally butt bothered because he can't get his Ulm WC as fast as he can in EU4 you'll be free.
>>2408260You are responding to a baiter, why would you expect anything else?
>>2408268The only person being baited is me, by blobbers. But ultimately I win because EU5 will never be a game for blobbers no matter how much they cry and shit their pants.

>>2408255playing tall is inherently a minmaxer playstyle
>>2408276Playing tall is mutually exclusive with blobbing out so much you need to culture convert other regions.
>>2408266>EU5 is for people who aspire to greater thingsMaybe if those greater things is to arbitrarily handicap yourself and play to obtain as few provinces as possible but also not maximize the use of that land available to you.
>>2408279No it isn't, what if I play tall around the Rhine and need to convert the Lorrain and Francien pops?
whoa settle down there chud, xhe might call you a blobber!
>>2408280Yes. As happened historically. Not treating it like a video game you need to get to the next level of.
>>2408282Seething, lmao. You hate what you are.
>>2408281You can accept those pops and stay within the cap. The cap is to prevent you blobbing.

Why can't blobbies, railroadchads, sandboxxies, just work together to make eu5 great again? It all feels so artificial....
I strongly urge PDX to stop focusing on inventing new mechanics. Instead, take the already overly complex game and streamline it properly. This will improve gameplay, make it easier for players to understand, require little development budget, and reduce CPU load. What's not to like? If the game were already years old with mountains of spaghetti code, I could understand the hesitation. But EU5 is still in its early stages! The right path is to cut redundant mechanics now. Miss this window, and a few years later when the code really does become a tangled mess, you won't be able to simplify it even if you want to.If you really want to add new mechanics, add more situations and more special international organizations. Even modders vibe-coding can write those – it's much easier than changing core mechanics. The workload is smaller, yet the variety of experiences and playstyles it offers to players is far greater. Neither players nor modders like frequent changes to the fundamental mechanics – it makes it harder to learn the game. But players also need novelty. Continuously releasing new situations and IOs provides a steady stream of new content, while avoiding the problem of players feeling lost because the basics keep changing. And the workload is small. Why not do it?I truly love Paradox games. I was ten years old when I first saw a screenshot of EU4 – I didn't even know what game it was, but I dreamed of one day being able to play it. When EU5 was announced with its exquisite mechanics and content, I was overjoyed. I really don't want to see it ruined. I truly hope it gets better and better. Sigh...

So when do you think the game will be in a playable state? Holding out on buying for now
>>2408416As in neatly polished? 1-2 years or soIt's currently playable but there's a bunch of jank and bugs in the game that will obviously be fixed in the next year or so, so if you want a finished game you can hold off and pick it up on sale or something.
>>2408416It is only barely playable now. In the last patch trade didn't fundamentally work and every single nation had to be an autarky while also providing every imaginable resource to every single one of their markets and all of the markets nearby, because the AI can't click the build building button for shit. In this major patch trade works ALOT better but on the flipside when the patch dropped clicking any province dropped FPS to 1 and overall game performance was down by half. They've since fixed the 1FPS province/country bug but game assets load much slower, asset streaming is still broken, and overall the performance is still about half of what it was for no reason. Also there are a bunch of really questionable decisions like if your country is big you just take a massive penalty to research speed for no reason. And fun other stuff like that which was clearly designed by an LLM.

Why did they make it so you run out of peasants like in Vicky 3?Even in vicky 3's timeline it is absurd to have so few peasants, EU V should end with the vast majority of your pops being peasants unless you are a small italian city state or something

>>2408785ACKSHUALLY this map doesn't make sense. It labeled only Qin in the red, but 475 BC is an arbitrary time when Sima Qian decides the warring states period had begun, and at that point the Qin state was weaker than it used to be. They reached a previous apogee under Duke Mu in the 600s BC. And they were originally enfoeffed in the 900s BC. And Qin were considered half barbarians anyway. If anything they were importing "Chinese" culture from the east. Qin itself was a product of Chinese expansion, they were a border march established by pushing out the Rong and Di, non-chinese barbarians.These are the precursors of Chinese states in 3000BC, chalcolithic material cultures with full blown cities including plumbing systems, rammed earth walls, systematic weapons production for armies, etc. (keep in mind this is 4000 years after Catalhoyuk and 2000 years after Uruk, so not out of the ordinary)A map of Chinese expansion would start in the yellow river valley, then bridge it with the yangzte river valley, slowly radiate out, expand in 316 BC when Qin conquered Bashu (sichuan), then explode around 200-100BC when Qin and Han conquered the south and southwest

>heritics
guess you want a lil more huh
>>2408908>no Theodoro
>>2408910discontinuous land gets a huge penalty in my calculation of what's blobbing and what isn't, the only real exceptions are colonies like port arthur
now poland is allowed to take all of russia because of this :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish-Lithuanian-Muscovite_Commonwealthand it ISN'T blobbingbut if they take finland it is blobbing
ethiopians can have all of egypt because of the copts and all of israel because they're beta israelbut if you take socotra its blobbing because that's arab land that they've never had any claim to, spurious or otherwise
you might be thinking "but these are all blobs!"but you'd be a retard because they all have legitimate claimsfor example if we take a country with no claims like korea taking ANY land outside of the peninsula is blobbingthe land they held in manchuria before the unification of the three kingdoms was too long ago to be a credible claim and only a blobber would try to use that logic to blob
but JAPAN can take korea with impunity, because that was their goal in the imjin waralso i guess you could take the philipines but i don't like it because theyre poor and brown so that's blobbing too
>HRE crash not acknowledged or fixedDead game
so now we know what blobbing ISNT let's look at what blobbing ISmorocco is blobbing because there is no feasible way spain would have been able to hold that territory in the early modern era, the most that is acceptable before it becomes blobbing is one or two port locations, like ceuta and melilia in real lifetaking random french territory is also blobbing, there is no logical explanation for why spain would have taken thisrandomly taking portuguese land is both unaesthetic and ahistorical, as such it is blobbinglook at north america as well, we see random colonizing with no historical or aesthetic value in north america, this is blobbingnow you know the difference between blobbing and not blobbing you can be more educated in your playing choices, have fun and as always, be ambitious!
>Sandboxxietroon posting some dogshit4000 players incoming

>>2408981>Non blobbing scotland>India
>>2408991that worthless northern Russia part absolutely is blobbing
>>24089981. Not worthless, it was an important trade connection for many countries, including Novgorod, England, and Sweden.2. As this is a Scandinavia that has subsumed rulership over the Finns then they naturally must extend to these areas both as a buffer zone against Russia and as they are the same language family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uralic_languagesHungary would be blobbing though because it's landlocked. Northern Russia only gets a pass because it's contiguous and had trade links.>>2408996Scottish governors made up a majority of the administration in the British Raj.
>>2409004it looks like shit therefor it is blobbing
>>2408991vikings ruled the rus tribes so including all of the russian empire is not blobbing.
>Play Byz>Expand a bit into Serbian and Bulgarian lands>Create two vassals, one for Serbian culture lands and Bulgarian cultural lands>Somehow vassals combined are more powerful than me>Never loyal>Never pay me or help in wars>Have to increase diplo spending to make them loyal>Increased spending on loyalty leaves me no money to spend elsewhere, even causing me to have to lower army maintenance to nothing>Vassals just get stronger relative to me as a result>Constantly rebelling and calling in half the world to help them against me and keeping me poor paying for the tiniest bit of positive loyalty from them (which just lets them get stronger and me weaker, upping how much I need to pay to keep them loyal)So what the fuck am I meant to do here? Not have vassals in the first place? Not expand at all? Go over cultural limit accepting them all? There doesn't seem to be any option available to me other than to sit here in my starting territory and not do anything.
>>2409059>There doesn't seem to be any option available to me other than to sit here in my starting territory and not do anything.whats the problem?
>>2409059use multiple smaller vassals
>>2409059what is "a bit"?just take all your cores until you fix your economy then beat naples and sicily for greece.
>>2408312It's decent fun, especially as smaller tags or tall builds. Just like in EU4, starting as a major takes out half the fun of the game. Also like in EU4, all countries in a region are very samey and mostly differntiated by starting/location. At least different parts of the world feel pretty different. Basic gameplay loop of building up your country, expanding, beating rivals, integrating conquests, and repeat is fun as always. Having more levers to pull on in that regard makes the buildup a bit more interesting than in EU4, but the war system is highly mid.Diplomacy, IOs, Japan, etc. are all still broken to greater or lesser degrees. Documentation is terrible. RGOs, food, and goods demand really needs fine tuning, but can occasionally be engaging. Needing to suddenly fix a salt/iron/wood/coal ahortage to prevent your armies from imploding is pretty cool desu, albeit all too rare.To sum, scuffed but fun, but repeat playthroughs in the same region will feel very similar without self-imposed challenges
>>2408684Dissolve monasteries for gold.
>>2408488That is the game working as intended, actually. One of the most important trends of the 1400-1820 period in Europe (and to a lesser degree East Asia and India) was the increasing integration of rural workers and farmers into the market economy. In 1350, even in places like Italy, rural farmers generally focused on subsistence farming while perhaps growing a regionaly specialty for export. IE, a bunch of peasants with maybe 1-2 levels of RGO. By game end, there were basically no subsistence farmers at all in places like England. In game terms, that's a maxed out RGO with very few, if any peasants and some villages/basic resource buildings on the side.The part that's bad is that this process is basically finished by 1600 in most of Europe
>Johans game saving update drops (with no HRE unification fix)>Nobody cares>Thread diesLol
>>2409119Are you fucking retarded? Literally 90% of people in 1900 didn't live in cities. And the vast majority were subsistent and not a craftsman/laborer.
>>2409148
>>2409148even though that's objectively true that goes against the pro-urbanization communist propaganda they teach in college. You'll never get through to him even if you had a time machine to take him back to the eighteen and nineteen hundreds and even if you took him back to look at the cities he would tell you that not all cities were like that and even if you used your time machine to take him to every city in all of europe to prove to him that as late as 1900 there was near no urbanization and that it is a post-war world restructuring, he would completely shift the goalposts and tell you that it's actually a good thing and thank god the world came to sanity and shuttled him and his people into tiny urban housing where he produces nothing because otherwise everyday life would be unthinkable without receiving welfare from the welfare state controlling his every move at the expense of the workers in the countryside.
if you think about it towns and cities are blobbing
>>2409180this but unironically the nation next to ulm that's just an open fucking field with nobody in it is actually the optimal way of playing the game. First you have to get devastated by the black plague and make sure not to lock anything down so you can get down to 1 population and it's just you, the king of the field. That's the REAL playthrough. after 200 years I managed to build a house for my guy

>>2409119Wasnt there a lot of emigration at that time to the Americas ? If anything those countries couldnt even employ all the peasants they had.
haha.... im in danger
>>2409296Emigration to the Americas started ballooning in the 1800s with the peak being at the end of 1800s and early 1900s. Before 1800s most colonial immigration was from the actual colonial nations. I think from Sweden one fifth of the population left to America during the peak years.

>>2409502what does it even do? they only put out one blog post in december and the whole game has been johan'd since then
>>2409517You get a tax and levy penalty when going over your domain limit in CK3 too.
>>2409541yeah but you can just make a vassal there, in EuV vassals debuff your crown power for whatever reason. There is no downside in Ck3
>>2409502>heavy bloat mod for a game already bloatedYIKESmiss me with that shii
>>2409296There wasn't a lot. Total emigration from Britain to America pre-1800 was only like 200k people total (100k of which were scotch-irish). Sailing ships just aren't very good at moving lots of people long distances
france attacked again, hre finally decided to defend us and we dunked on the frenchiesapparently losing 150k mercenaries (recruited from france and italy) still gives a ton of war exhaustion but our reward is lorraine and northern franche comte as vassals
>>2409570I hope you balkanize them and liberate a free and independent Occitania
*blobs*lets see if this deters the french from further attacks, they're down to 8.2 million pops from 10.5 million before they started messing with the rhinelevy casualties on our side are entirely by emperor saxony and their allies (like austria)the war cost us another 30k ducats as we dont have a standing army yet but the economy is booming and french war reparations do the resthonorable mention to our british ally who managed to mobilize 40k soldiers and didnt try occupying the undefended french posessions in england, preferring to walk in circles in kent while losing the naval war
