Our next war will be against Bohemia. I would have liked to delay PU-ing them for a little while longer but circumstances have changed. We're currently married to Brunswick; their 62 year old ruler is going to die soon. This will provoke a succession war between Bohemia and us which will truce-lock us until our cb times out. I'm also sending half our army to invade Castille while we have a tech advantage. Hopefully we can secure enough of Aragon's cores to complete our mission.

what it does is that, it steals development from another state at the cost of "sacking" that state and transferring it to your capital

Largest military and respectable quality

the capital had always been more central (at least for major players) until the Liao
the steppe dynasties found Beijing convenient because it serves as a bridge between China and the steppe, so it made sense for them to base their administration there
the Ming had their capital in Nanjing but moved it to Beijing to be better able to deal with steppe incursions (see for comparison Constantine's move of the Roman capital)
the Qing picked Beijing in part for the same reasons as their steppe predecessors and in part because it was already developed as such by the Ming

I have a love/hate relationship with it.
It's tickles my 'Numbers go up' brain watching the economy play out, especially when I play USA and hand out rights to companies to build factories.
One of them randomly decided to turn Michigan into the tooling factory of the world, and the factory was pumping out more tools than the entire Russian Empire from that one state.
The military/war is still the weaker part of the game, but it's certainly gotten better than it was originally.
If you want to just sit back and watch numbers go up and grow an economy it's a decent enough game.

It's a billion dollar company and was a $700~ million dollar company before victoria 3 even started development. If paradox is telling us they couldn't just call the guy who originally ACTUALLY made the economy on the phone and say "look we effed up we'll give you literally a million dollars a year if you come back" then it had better be because he is dead and buried. Otherwise I don't want to hear that complaint, they didn't try because they didn't want money. Paradox just wanted to release a victoria 3 that looked like a mobile game just to fuck with victoria 2's audience as a humiliation ritual.

We got lucky and found gold at our current location. This surplus of income is supplemented by the war reps and transfers of trade power from our conquests. This has the added benefit of giving us an actual CB whenever the aforementioned tribes decide to cancel the trade power transfer It may not seem like much but after starting the game at ~1.2 ducats of income we now make more than the settled Injuns in Easter NA.

Regarding government reforms the first thing i did was switch over from 'Clan Council' (+1 diplomat, +1 diplo relations slot) to 'Hereditary Rule' (-33% stab cost). We're saving up for Land Tradition before putting tribal land acquisition into overdrive. Hereditary Rule also has the benefit of getting an event to change leaders whenever you flip from at peace to war and vice-versa. We can farm good rulers and traits for our religion this way

sorry man, i'm trying now by disabling bright glowing circles (that either label potential colonies, good research locations, or good tourist locations)
and disabling state ship vectors (the dotted grey lines bisecting the map)
the blue bisecting lines are just logistical and/or seniority branches stemming from colony to colony
ignore the tiny blue dots, they are my civilian ships and it is impossible to hide them, but they don't matter
what matters are the much bigger blue circles, they are the 'borders' for what i personally claim and they encircle my colonies, making it impossible for my neighbors to put their own colonies within them

okay, so focusing on the triangles here, they all represent military ships

notice that there's also another pirate of the same flag, and he's going in the same direction...
and then there's two more of them coming to attack ombara again
my forces are going to end up escalating against all of this pirate clan

A few things to consider:
I am pretty certain that Confucianism is a great religion for a world conquest. You merely need 20 development of a heretical religion to then begin harmonising it. When you harmonise one branch of a religion you actually harmonise the entire group. So just harmonising a Catholic province will give you tolerance for Protestants, Anglicans and even Coptics.

Humanist ideas are kind of awesome. Even playing outside of China they give you lots of unrest reduction and -10% idea cost. The + harmony modifier at the end of the tree is awesome. Higher harmony = faster harmonisation. Also, it gives you a free casus belli on seemingly everyone that is bordering you.

I wish you could get tributary casus belli on other nation's tributaries that border your own nation.

Manufactories provide way more gold than is suggested. You get the production value and then also the trade value. My economy was worth about 400 ducats a month before spamming manufactories and it is now pumping out about 1200 a month.

Anyways, how is your campaign going?

I'm 10 years into a victoria 3 campaign with a friend as of today and the only european war so far was his conquest of holstein (and not slesvig too). I'm just building up raw resources as the netherlands. They really made it as difficult as possible to colonize, not just because of the mechanic being extremely slow and punishing compared to vic 2 but also because of the mapmodes for raw resources being difficult to access and your RGOs all being locked behind buildings. I'm not getting a single thing out of dutch guinea and just building construction yards in the lowlands and then building up cattle farms and logging companies has taken up 100% of my time, and it seems FAR more profitable than enslaving a bunch of niggers in africa to mine gold for me because of the reduced build times.

Why? How do I improve these modifiers?

We've made some minor developments in the meantime btw. I made an investment into a third building : the Ceremonial Fire Pit granting us 50% advisor costs and +0.2 Reform Progress Growth. We can finally run advisors now without bankrupting the state. We're also about to hit Admin. Tech. 5 and will slot in Indigenous ideas when they become available. I debated grabbing Expansion but I never play with the natives so I want to check out their unique idea group/policies and until we're settled all colonized land will become tribal land anyways. Finally, regarding expansion, we're still farming army tradition and prestige from no-CB wars and are waiting for our truce to expire with the Salish before annexing some land from them as well as our vassal Chinook. Ideally after this I'd like to grab another vassal in Texas/Mexico to have proximity to the Europeans for westernization/native reformation

Any province in the entire world that we conquer is now considered part of our religion.
There were two events that provided Catholics and Shinto in the core homeland. This would usually be considered a bad thing but in reality you can use those provinces to begin the harmonisation process.

Now that I think about it some fetishist nation in the Horn like Welatya would probably be a good contender for your eoc in med run. You conquer the horn for a powerbase and open exploration to get 1 buddhist province in India/Indonesia/China. Then flip buddhist through the decision, take the mandate and conquer Med. This way your borders won't look like ass and you also have the option to take key cities in China for mandate growth and release Horn of Africa into a client state or vassal if you only want historical Roman borders. You drop exploration after getting the province you need btw

so the plan was to attack in the far west, where two outposts of the "sinister sun mining" clan operated out of, but the plan was changed
instead, our fleet of 20 capital-sized ships went straight for a more pressing nuisance, the "montu kudro security" clan which operated out of the west-northwest, past the confines of foreign nations (indicated here in a red oval)
the next target will be closer to solus empire borders, and our hammer will fall upon them just as swiftly (indicated here in a bright yellow oval)

>Why aren't you migrating East?
There are a couple reasons, the main one being that I had a misconception on annexation worked with regard to Tribal Land. I thought that if I bordered my vassal's TL I would be able to annex them and all of their TL. Unfortunately I need to border them directly, so our route East is blocked off at the moment. I'm considering cancelling the vassalization and just conquering them if they don't migrate towards us in the near future. Additionally I wanted to mainly expand southwards, along the Pacific Coast towards Mexico. I like the idea of building up a state in Alaska/Cascadia/California before eventually conquering the rest of Canda/parts of America and if I just migrated eastwards just to end up on the East Coast or Great Plains I may as well have started with a different tribe than Haida. Finally, I also wanted to take advantage of the different gold mines we found especially early on when the 0.2/0.3 ducats made a substantial diference in our income
>You would have had more if you developed more
To be honest barring actually developing the provinces or settling down I'm not sure I could have. You get massive penalties for developing land as a migratory tribe and because I'm forced to migrate to a different province every few years due to rising devastation/grazing land it didn't make sense to me to invest in provinces I'll ownly directly control 100% of the time much later. Tribal development growth is also maxxed out for our capabilities at the moment, and all our building slots are filled up. TL increases in cost the more you have and migrating cost milpoints/I'm also filling out Indigenous ideas so I'm banking resources at the moment before going down the Californian coast as planned.

a few years back a new pirate clan has unveiled itself itself to us in the deep galactic 'south', ones calling themselves the "fire ravagers"
intelligence shows that their military only numbers in 24 ships total, but it seems that unlike with other clans, they travel mostly together, as seen here, where 16 of their "24" are sieging one of our gas mining operations in the "sistuueni major" star system (indicated in a red oval here at bottom image)
because of previous fire ravager attacks a couple months ago, the solus empire congress has issued the construction of a second major anti-piracy fleet, one of 16 capital ships
however, to mandate a more immediate response, the "fifth fleet" (20 capital ships) responsible for hunting down much of the "montu kudro security" clan has been summoned to jumpstart much-needed law enforcement in the overall area encompassing the nicknamed "calandes" region (indicated here in orange ovals)
part of these operations shall involve a siege of a fire ravager habitat complex located in belbrenge prime (indicated here in a yellow oval)
the south shall know our name, for we are solus, the arms of xubbahn prime

>Migrate through their land
I considered this or migrating next to them to annex but this doesn't seem viable. Migration doubles in cost the further from your own Tribal Land you are (1 province/2x) so it would be ~300-400 milpoints to get there and back to the coast at a time when they are at a premium. Coring as we go is an option but I want to save our capacity for the Pacific coast. Additionally we could attempt to migrate through and core on the other side but that would entail giving up all of our current Tribal Land as disconnected provinces aren't retained.
>Go to Mexico/dev
I plan to eventually blob down there but as mentioned in 263 I specifically wanted to build up our home region. In hindsight I probably should have invested more into a few 'core' provinces I could easily migrate in and out of

>Spawning Glass
North American natives work a bit differently than the ones in Brazil/SA. Goods spawn as you migrate and persist even if you migrate away/lose the tribal land, so devving for high value trade goods isn't an option. Potentially if you get your Tribal Development high enough you might have enough dev to spawn some but this would take forever. Even if you could find free land to try it you only get one crack at it/one dice roll (assuming tribal dev is added before the trade good is decided, which isn't a guarantee)

The 'real' dev stays but all Tribal Dev is erased/is individual for each cunt

the "5th fleet" arrived in the lavesar star system to tear out the montu kudro security clan's influence
our ships arrived millions of miles away from their base
2/3rds of their several ships were foolish enough to fly out for us and were utterly eliminated
and then we pounced upon their orbit and destroyed their base and ships
the victory was ours, a conflict resulting in a stark black and white outcome between us
however, we currently lack the transport ships necessary to carry out a thorough invasion of planet "lavesar 1"
and because of this, the star system remains uncleansed of all piracy
the 5th fleet shall now leave for further combat in the deep south where the calandes region lies
meanwhile, the "6th fleet" has almost finished construction and shall stand by for operations in vaguer locations

a pirate clan in the galactic north known as the "sinister moon clan" had launched a siege against our colony in the "leanna" star system (indicated in a red circle in the top image)
things seemed very grim, there was only the small space port, the defensive base and the single cruiser to defend the planet and system from complete lawlessness (seen in the middle image)
although the planet did suffer a raid, it was not without the enemy's severe losses
many of their ships were brought down
our three armed components had survived with but minor damage (seen in the bottom image)
leanna firmly withstood the attack, but who knows what will come later
meanwhile, one of the solus empire's first armadas, the "2nd fleet", comprised of just 2 destroyers, a cruiser, and 2 capital ships, is enroute to reinforce the system and stand by for any future distress signals
the nation known as the "comparas syndicate" (the large hot-pink federation of systems shown in the top image) hold a history of failure in dealing with the overall pirate menace that surround them
solus command has determined militaristic responses upon two locations (indicated in yellow circles in the top image) where the sinister moon clan operates, one of them being a primitive homeworld of shandar which they have longfully raided and harassed
more conflict to come...

[correction: the sinister moon clan's base in the far galactic north is located in the star system named "urd pardrun junction", not "narg minor"... narg minor is actually a system inhabited by another pirate clan, named "sinister sun mining" ]

>>2484607
>>2484648
finally, the 6th fleet arrived in the "urd pardrun junction" system (indicated with a red circle in the top image) to strike at what then looked to be a major hub of activity for the sinister moon clan
this great system fell with little trouble, and the set off further into the galactic 'north' to reach the "narg minor" star system (indicated with a light blue circle in the top image) in which the "sinister sun mining" clan dwelled
meanwhile the "1st fleet" of the solus empire had crept up to the "tefnyl" star system (indicated with a green oval in the top image) where more of the sinister moon clan were sure to be found, and a short skirmish had rid that system of any pirate craft...
... although more of their ilk held a strong presence on a volcanic planet there, living among aliens known as shandar
the plan for the 6th fleet was that as soon as they had crushed all spaceborne ships and structures in narg minor, they would return south to refuel before striking at yet another criminal organization in the star system of "giunuses" (indicated with an orange circle in the top image)

That's when you start developing little mods that are easy to make for other people to play and get your satisfaction from that. I made a little mod where genoa is ibadi, in the empire, but has buffed development, golden horde exists at game start in most of russia and southern italy but sits at 300% overextension, and collapses at game start for a friend.

I need to go work on that mod again honestly! I's fun, but I just can't stand eu4's development system over pops. Every other part of the game is FUN. Eu4 is an endlessly frustrating beast.

>[Johan] There have been quite a lot of reasons why the game’s performance has gotten worse over the course of a campaign, but mostly it is about badly written algorithms that don’t always scale well. And it is also about how smartly written they are, and while some are useful for the UI, that may not be ideal for the performance so you need to hand-optimize them as well.

We also worked a lot on FPS (This does impact tick speed IF the “Maximize tick speed” setting is toggled off.). But unfortunately, frame rate is something that cannot be meaningfully captured on our nightly observer tests. This is due to the fact that automated nightly tests don’t simulate a real play environment by efficiently capturing how a player actually plays the game (Opening UI panels, building buildings, etc). So sadly we don’t have any exciting stats to show off on the FPS front, (At least not any we can share in good faith) but our limited testing indicates that we’ve seen some good overall improvements there as well.

Also they're removing both complacency and hourly ticks from eu5 because of 'muh pacing'. Complacency was awesome for modders god fucking damnit fuck.

>empire: total war
i have never played a total war game and i'm not about to start now
i almost did once, though
thrones of britannia? if the reviews weren't so bad, i would've given it a shot 4-5 years ago
>>
the swedes of old could conquer poland which had 10x the population
the swedes of today can't even program buttons properly
>>
total war games are fun, but the diplomacy in them is awful
expect the ai to declare suicidal wars against you at all times and it's not like you can just sue them for peace, because each province you take you don't just occupy you take it permanently, which accrues aggressive expansion with every other country on the map which makes them in turn declare war on you
i guess it truly is total war, idk what i expected

follow-up: need the best minds of gee ess gee to provide their input
one of the missions for Invictus' Parthia tree enables you, as a reward, to pick out three capitals: the royal capital (actual real in-game; also gets +100% tax, +2 holding slots, and +10% research output later on), the ceremonial capital (+1 holding slot and +10% research output), and the location of the treasury (+1 holding slot and +100% tax)

specifically, it lets you pick them in that order from the three most populous cities to fulfill the requirements that have not already been designated as a capital
so as it currently stands my options are as follows
>Royal: Babylon, Ctesiphon, Hagmatana
>Ceremonial: Whichever two of the royal options are not selected + Susa
>Treasury: Whichever two of the ceremonial options are not selected + Persepolis

since it's just based on population I can shuffle slaves around to reorder them if I really want to
less willing to get other options, though, because the reqs include having at least 8 nobles which is going to take a while longer if the city has not already been developed.
also, the mission requires you to have at least one candidate in each of at least three regions, though the actual choices aren't region-locked in such a way. but the "purist" option would be to limit yourself to one per region (so Babylon/Ctesiphon and Susa/Persepolis would be mutually exclusive)
>>
i read all that
>>
tl;dr where put Iran capital x3
>>
pick buddhism and imagine the future syncretism between buddhism and christianity (abrahamism with buddhist characteristics)
and for the capital don't cheat. i never liked the idea of having the capital be built on some super duper rgos to abuse the local population size all toiling in some huge gold mine. a capital should be built in a strategic location with a large river flowing nearby, because rivers both provide pre-steam engine power as well as an easy access to food via both irrigation and riverine transport, which in turns grows the population organically
>>
you will be glad to know that I did pick Buddhism
and yeah no not pulling any shittery to get some metagame location. those are the five options, and even if they aren't all on major rivers, they do all have major historical significance to justify being candidates
>>
Pick Confucianism and integrate all religions.
>>
imo
>royal
babylon
>ceremonial
persepolis
>treasury
ctesiphon

also lowkirkuinely im surprised youre still playing after basically winning and doing your cute empire

understandable, especially being the same broader region, but that was first built in 1975 and just named after the other place

he's past the 1st stage of fun which is actually playing the game and challenging the mechanics to win against ai countries
and he's entered the 2nd stage of fun which is posting screenshots to /gsg/ and larping about his epic empire

really no reason not to neglect it in favour of vanilla unless you're running on a potato from 1800 (or god forbid a Mac, because at least at one point the Mac version would CtD from too many provinces for the OS to handle; don't know if that's been fixed)

ah, i get it, it's just improved imperator
i've apocryphally heard people fellate invictus and i assumed it was some mod that actually changed the era of the game a la winter king for ck2
shame, because vanilla imperator didn't click with me. just too many imagined tribes and playing as the big guys we have historical sources from is boring
>>
most of the added stuff has been around smaller guys which we know really existed on at least some level, but that's a very fair complaint about the game as a whole and I don't know how much the mod would fix that for you
the fellating is mostly going to be because it's a solid enough game mechanics-wise, just lacking much flavour, and here's more flavour for your flavourless game
>>
it is interesting because in a game like liqqy i can pick even a country like lanfang and have fun, yet in imperator even an interesting playthrough like picking scythia and migrating to poland felt hollow

no i have to input that amount of money individually via transaction a month and they cannot overcharge me a cent more, like they do with those payment plans, then at the start of each month they take those $12.15 away and give me 800 gigs of data and unlimited calls and unlimited text messages. it's a pretty fucking good deal and how it's done in real countries

We just hit 20% discipline about 5 years ago and have been crushing everyone from the Commonwealth to Persia. Russian troops are both highly trained and uniquely numerous.
We are soon going to have to fight a mega Chinese coalition that is lead by Shun to get the east coast of Manchuria. They have equal numbers to us but are down by 3 military techs.

Right now, we need to prove our mettle to the Europeans. This war is supposed to be fought between Catholics and Protestants but it will be decided by the clash of Orthodox and Sunni.

Oh, and our personal development is about 1900 and then we have 100 in Circassia.

No. Can't-form-russia anon here I don't play commonwealth/poland, I only ever play lithuania. Sometimes as a (loyal) Junior partner of Poland sometimes totally independent or an ally, I don't usually invade them or if I do it's defensive. Lithuania is fun in every grand strategy game I've ever played because they're in such a pisspoor situation but they all these lovely rivers and lovely rebels and lovely attritioning bog provinces that you can force enemies to deal with. I very rarely, if ever, lose a war when I'm confronted with a force 3 to 5 times my own, it's a very fun country even though you're always piss poor and dealing with infinite religious and cultural rebels you hate you.

>I only ever play lithuania.
To clarify I'm not autistic about lithuania, I just meant between poland and lithuania. Can't stand poland they're not fun to play but they are fun to border.

but the whole point of playing as lithuania is that it's even more overpowered than playing as poland

>>2485735
Despite that Lithuania isn't the best Lithuanian nation in eu5 though it's Livonian order by far, as long as you ignore that cheap ass broken military order subsidy mechanic. Well, eu5 is just ignoring a bunch of cheap ass broken mechanics in general and I wouldn't recommend it at all at this point now that they're just gutting entire features.
>>2485737
>then form plc
Surely you are trolling. In eu4? Have you never done this before? Do you know how many dogshit events there are that tick on commonwealth? They're easily the worst end game tag in the whole game by far. The PU with Poland is great but integrating them using the Commonwealth decision is literally game ruining.

There's some ticking negative event pool that rapes you after 1600 once you form PLC you'll see what I'm talking about within 20 or so years of that. There's a few that are rare and only show up once iirc but there's at least a couple repeating unique 'cultural flavor' bad events that just rape the PLC in particular over and over and over, similar to the 'offensive' idea group on steroids.

In a nation that suffers from religious rebels no matter what it does?

>>2485756
It used to matter when you needed to be able to shit out 400 mercs at a moments notice in MP to wage a guerilla war, I was backseating a Polish player as Moldavia once and he took the stab hit over the recruitment time which caused rebels to tick that probably wouldn't have. The next month the rebels collided with the enemy army and then he wiped out their stack with the mercs. In modern eu4 with merc companies there is no reason you would ever pick the stab hit, but it's the mandatory stab hit if you roll the 'nobles are worried' event that rapes you.

No trade companies so we are missing out on quite a bit of revenue. Very few manufactories in our nation.

I've been... busy...
But I am back, and immediately remembering that oh yeah, i need to click through each market village and forest village to switch production to tools so the price goes down and other industries can function, epic.

While I'm doing that, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in that one poll that was being posted around and especially for your patience. Means a lot <3
I should have some more time tomorrow, after that, we'll see. But fear not, this campaign will continue overall.
Special shoutout to 09/06/26 04 for writing out a solid response.

Honestly, I was pretty hyped around doing the sensible and roleplay choice of letting Volhynia go and avoiding a world war. But the people demand bloodshed it seems. I'll work on this and let you cast final votes now that the game is back up, I'll try to fix the economy, we'll see if the people decide on a CB or not.

yes, because it's a specific poland depicted in the screenshot of the post №2485768

The hour grows late, the poll is in a stalemate and I need to go to city hall tomorrow. I think we've made enough progress today, i'll leave you with this.

As mentioned before, we were fabricating a crusade CB on Lithuania (what remains of it) but they "converted" (they're just pretending) to christianity as it's being made, will probably not work once it's finished.
If getting a "real" CB wins out, it's a tossup between fabricating on Norway and Poltosk and calling Lithuania in.
One problem with this plan is that it DOES say that all of the enemies will be called in as beligerents. If I'm understanding that correctly, does that mean everyone will be able to call their allies? If so then Denmark will call in several HRE members to boot.
Image: something to consider about fighting "real" wars with "real" CBs. Do you think this is enough vassals? Think about it, and see you tomorrow.

And yeah, I make heavy use of the lock icon, don't worry.

why won't you stay there full time and leave gsg to gsgeers?

I think that people on /gsg/ are mostly ok. You get some guys that can't help but to say the n-word or other that just want to argue, but that's just something we have to deal with.
There has been quite a bit of campaign posting as of late so maybe /gsg/ is heading in the right direction.

friendliness was considered a virtue by aristotle so of course all the "trad" people on 4chan HATE it with a passion
luckily the "muh tradition" (actually opposite) people have been mostly moving to /pol/ for the last 10 years

by the way, did you know that many Christians in the United States consider empathy to be a sin?

It took almost 200 years but we have indeed formed the true Russian Empire.
Our governing capacity is a serious issue. 1/3 of all of my provinces are still territories. There is also the problem that whenever I build a manufactory it boosts the local development and increases the governing cost.
Really regret not going either Religious ideas or Humanist ideas. All separatists from the Urals to Vladivostok have being rising up on about a 15 year cooldown.

do you really need religious ideas? even my horde vassal is converting muslims to a proper religion
and why is your army so small? i have a 250 unit force limit
>>
catholics get the most missionary strength in the game, orthodox dont have access to those decisions

>governing cap in territories
not a problem if you have cash like you should and spam courthouses everywhere to reduce the gov cap cost to 0.1%
>manufactories boost development increase gov cost
lol. lmao even. not remotely true
>>
he has economic ideas, building a manufactory gives him +1 development. stop ridiculing people about things you have no idea about
admittedly +1 development is just -1 governing capacity which is so ridiculously minor it's not even funny, especially as rußia which gets a lot of governing capacity increase passively there's no reason for him to be so much poorer than the poland player
>>
is that a thing?
admittedly i havent taken either economic or infrastructure ideas since the split, im more of an admin / maritime -> espionage -> quality / offensive player
>>
now you're just full of shit, no one would legitimately pick quality ideas
>>
quality is the most default mil ideas, hence the saying:
>when in doubt, pick quality
it's also really good for "tall" nations with a small force limit so you can amp your limited stack to be at least better than the ai. it also don't waste mana by putting filler idea between good ideas, first is +10% inf combat, second is idk but also powerful, third is idk but also powerful, fourth is cav combat, the rest is navy stuff that one can ignore but it's enough to make your navy beat the ai navy easily, most of the time anyway

Allah is with the Houthis, not with Saudi dogs and their mercenaries. In the past days, they captured the entire Yemeni Red Sea coast. It's only a matter of time for all of Yemen to be united under a single flag.
>>
offensive is better doe
it gives +1 shock/fire on generals which is 10% extra damage dealt which is the same as 10% combat ability on all units and then it gives you more real bonuses than quality which just gives you naval shit
imagine spending 400 days sieging a fort
this post was made by inno/offensive/espionage gang
>>
Economics + Quality has a policy for +5% discipline. Also, I did notice that Innovative has a policy for +15% infantry combat ability.
The Russian force limit was about 350 but the Tsar is trying to fill the coffers so that he can modernise and industrialise his nation.

I think that Yemen starts off divided in EU IV as well. Hope those guys can eventually work something out without being curbstomped by the Thirteen Colonies and Najd.

the tsar should raise the taxes in poland instead of skimping on the jaegers

>i need to click through each market village and forest village to switch production to tools
No, you can do that from the buildings tab and change every single building to produce tools instead. It'll drive up the price of iron though which can rape your army maintenance cost in the early game if you don't have alot of iron so I might put in a buy order if that makes sense.

Keep in mind that once you have ENOUGH market and forest villages you actually DON'T want to switch all of them at the same time because having a very dynamic goods price can bankrupt your other industries and they'll either close or hurt you so much in subsidization that it's not even worth doing, you just want to click through and change 1 or 2 production methods. IE with buildings that have multiple production methods that are direct upgrades it's actually better to have some on the crappier production method to keep the price of the initial good from going through the roof.
