Also keep an eye out for the mission to 'fortify X' , it can be a pretty cheap way to get 5 army tradition.

It was hard to get rid of origionally, you could only use admin points to reduce it when you went into Economic idea tree. That has since been nerfed though.

 Working on my England World Conquest attempt in Ironman, Europe has been slower going than I would like, France is under PU, Castille and Porgual are vassals. Fairly worried about HRE progress but im fairly close to 3 of the electors. Through marriages I have the same dynasty as Austria and Hungary but have had no opportunities to claim throne yet.  Colonial wise things are going a bit faster, sadly when I vassalised Castille and Portugal their nations just went independent, and I have no CB against them, so I probably just have to hope my colonial nations swallow them up at some stage. Still a long way to go.

Gort posted:It bugs me more than it should that when you're Great Britain all your colonies are still "English Mexico" and so on. Yeah lack of foresight from me there, I debated sticking with the England tag for a while, but Scottish werent accepted culture so it made more sense to go GB. Its even worse when it doesnt change colour, had a Burgundy go to Netherlands in MP, pink colonial nations next to orange ones.

Update on my WC attempt. Went from to  New world isnt worth a screenshot now as it is mostly mine, apart from the colonial nations that were released from Portugal/Castille when I vassalised them, I have no CB to take them so they are mostly a headache. HRE: Vassalised 3 of the smaller electors and have been the emperor for about a year. Need to think of new ways to really start gaining imperial authority since they removed one of the methods this patch I think. Aragon is now my vassal, went up to around 250% OE holding their provinces while getting them down to vassal size. Will probably leave Castille as a vassal for a while as they are doing a nice job colonizing Africa, maybe I should of let Portugal live for a while longer. Worried about integrating Savoy now as the huge -relations hit with HRE people might stir up some more coalitions. Austria had a small window of 1 month when they had no heir, was able to get my claim throne CB in just in time, now under a PU. Managed to snag Norway as a vassal so can start feeding them cores soon. Ottomans and Russia are already huge, but I just finished expansion ideas so really should start looking east soon. Starting to get the feeling I wont make it before the 1821 deadline. Finally a diplomacy mapmode screenshot:

Dickensian Aspect posted:They are much worse. -25 settlers per year, -25% bonus settlers chance (assuming the wiki is up to date - it's still a significant penalty at any rate). You spend a lot of time with that settlers chance at, like, 0-1%. Which is why I tend to hate random new world. In our saturday goon MP game, 2/4 of the new world is tropical, 1/4 is arctic, leaving 1/4 that colonizes at a reasonable speed.

Sheep posted:Perhaps if they doubled it. As it stands 0.1/year if under 50 projection and 0.2/year if over is pretty insignificant when low MTTH random events are constantly tanking you for 5-10 tradition. I'm finding it very hard to get above 70 tradition unless I take the options that hit my stability or cost me 150 monarch points, and keeping leaders is out of the question. Im getting 0.5/year at 100 projection.

Being 8 mil techs behind any neighbor at any time is requiring 10:1 odds to kill any army of theirs. Id like to see someone defend that in a war, while dealing with super new rebels in the westernizing period.

I thought your progress was usually capped by AE decay, rather than truce timers anyway. Ive seen back to back war decs in multiplayer the moment truce is up and it isnt pretty. The defender usually leaves by the third time. The changes like increased AE for vassalising, and westernizing not getting western units anymore, sucked a lot more.

For anyone interested in Multiplayer, the goon Saturday game ended recently and the new one starts this week. Its full up but we tend to get no shows/drop outs now and then. Have made an imgur gallery of player mapmode screenshots I could find of the last game: http://imgur.com/a/JpEmZ Its in chronological order, game lasted till 1700ish.

The only reason you'll ever need to vassal-feed instead of taking it yourself is you avoid the (15?) year nationalism revolt risk.

Multiplayer post! As our usual Saturday game finished last week, we will start a new Art of War game in Vanilla. It will have a lot less rules than usual for a more relaxed affair. Expect it to last 4-5 weeks while the mod is sorted out for the next EG game. We are letting people pick anywhere they want this time. If you want to join its at 8pm BST / 4pm EDT Saturdays and will go on for 4 hours. You can join the group http://steamcommunity.com/groups/EUGoons) and ill send out a notification 30 mins before the lobby goes up. Remember the host (probably me) is the only one who needs the DLC to play it, and ill have Art of War. Edit: Oh right the group is invite only, post your steam nick in the private thread and ill send you an invite http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3577057&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

In the process of updating the OP for the new DLC with LE. The Hundred Years War and Byzantium guides seem a bit dated, would anyone like to have a go at re-writing current strategies for those starts? Or any other nation that has a really tough start for that matter!
