Oh also don't forget that the AI can see through the fog of war and is supposed to act like it can't, but totally does anyway.

On the plus side a few bugs / oversights I reported got fixed, which always feels nice  There's actually some huge changes hidden in the changelog, for example: quote:Fixed that depletion chance of gold mines was truncated to whole percentage points in calculation. So yeah turns out that gold mines never actually depleted unless you made them like 15 production or something. quote:Fixed "Enthrone Timurid Ruler" decision not giving the ruler promised by tooltip This is now a once per game 'pay 2 stability for a potentially godlike ruler' button for many states. Nice! Fister Roboto posted:Oh also don't forget that the AI can see through the fog of war and is supposed to act like it can't, but totally does anyway. Yeah it does get annoying when the AI starts to run away from seiging your mountain fort while you're in the fog 2 provinces away before they're supposed to be able to see you, so you can never actually trap them.

Except my ally ai sometimes acts like it has fog of war over me. "Oh no, don't worry about that giant russian doomstack coming at me faster than i can get away from in my own territory near your border. You just keep running off deeper into your own territory with your large stack that would turn the tide of this imminent battle if you'd only turn around sometime in the next 2 weeks."

While in China helping allies as japan, the Bahmanis declared war on a different ally which threw me into a 2nd war. Yue and I were sieging an eastern Chinese province and I watched as a Bahmani army made a beeline across China to gank me which was cool. My army was attached to the yue army and iirc the Bahmanis weren't allied to anyone near me. I needed an excuse to start over anyway.

Poil posted:The Netherlands broke free from Burgundy and quickly allied Austria, Great Britain and me. Unfortunately they lost the war got fully annexed because as usual they never bothered calling anyone in to help them. It's because that war inexplicably makes the Netherlands the aggressor, and their former overlord the defender. So it's usually Austria calling in all her many allies and stomping the poo poo out of a lone Netherlands. It's real dumb.

The most satisfying way to end an ottoman war: leave em with no troops, and half their country occupied by rebels  Also I'm really not liking the slower movement changes, but after reading you guys comments, I'm just happy I dont have CoC so the AI isn't zipping around my troops.

The slower movement is a great change (it significantly increases your ability to have local superiority in troops), I just don't like the fact that they have added more ways for units on map to have different speeds, and in particular, have added yet another completely unnecessary unique buff to hordes.

Go Go Kon-go! Kongo is going very well. I was able to kick the tiny bit of European presence out of Africa completely by 1550.  As you can see in that screenshot, France just declared war on me, citing "Conquest". They don't border me at all, but, uh, how did all of these European powers and their colonial nations get claims on this one province of mine?

Either exploration or expansion’s final idea gives you the ability to fabricate claims overseas. Alternatively, might be an event claim.

But that's not too bad either, because the AI tends to be god awful at naval invasions, meaning defending that province is usually an easy 25% warscore for you.

The Europeans tend to get pretty loving obsessive about gold provinces too, which is fine when they're preying on the SO but they have no real understanding of 'wait no the entirety of Subsaharan Africa is not an easy target.'

So far this patch Ming seems slightly more prone to rebels but can still crush them all without too much trouble. Merc penalty doesn’t appear to have changed much, they are still going to have a lot of mercs whenever their manpower is low because they are rich as all goddamn and can buy up to their merc limit no matter what it is. Ming AI does seem a bit more aggressive, vassalizing some Indochinese minors and seizing territory in tribute wars with others. Not sure why, but it’s a bit unusual, not that I’m complaining.

AI alliance logic seems to have changed a lot, for example the Mamluks no longer always want to be your best friend as Karaman. Not sure exactly why but it feels like large states are less likely to be friendly towards small ones than in 1.23

Excepting the time France in a rival war with your Russia sends 50000 men to fight the anti-native stack in your sole latecomer Colombian colony, leaving their homeland to you.

skasion posted:Didn’t this patch include a map change? I think it probably breaks saves. Map changes don't hard break saves. When loading an old save, new provinces end up as unexplored and uncolonized 1/1/1 provinces, but since this patch's map changes were in uncolonized land already this shouldn't be a major issue. It gets weird when new provinces are added in like the middle of Europe.

Did the colonising nations' AI become even worse this patch? This is the third time England drags me into a war completely unprepared. The last time they kept 24k of their 35k army in their barely developed Sierra Leone colony. This time they have 49k soldiers and I can't find a single English soldier anywhere in the known world.

England is the worst serious ally you could have. They usually have some army though so they can at least be used as deterrent. Serious in this case meaning not defenseless crap nation right next to expansive blob.anti_strunt posted:I was going to say Enforce peace, but if they declared independence it wouldn't work.

England is the perfect ally for Norway. They're actually competent enough in the beginning of the game to help you in the first wars against your Scandinavian brothers/sisters, and you can keep them from conquering Scotland by making sure you lead the wars. If you're lucky you can bleed them dry against France while you carpet Scotland. They'll probably stay allied long enough for you to annex Scotland which'll make them really hate you and cancel the alliance, but at that point you should be strong enough to take them. I can usually use their hatred of me to score an alliance with France, too. It's the perfect way to conquer Britain, but their incredible incompetence is still a problem for the game.

Although the AI seems to have the same trouble actually invading England. In my game France has gone to war with them maybe 3 times, each time claiming Somerset but then just sitting in France. poo poo war target, poo poo ally.

The year is 1570 and Venice is going well for me, with all of Greece under a Byzantine vassal and Northern Italy under direct control. I am making boatloads of cash but I found myself at loss of what I want to do. I am starting to seriously lose Republican Tradition from being too large and I want to keep as a merchant republic. However, what is there to do after you get all the obvious targets? Idea wise I went Trade-Quantity-Plutocracy and now I find myself a bit stuck in terms of goals except maybe trying to steal Genoese land. At this point is there anything interesting that can be done, while keeping as a Serene Republic? I heard about people colonizing India for trade companies but I don't know how doable that is, this late into the game.

1570 is barely a third into game, there's time to do anything. also outside of getting plutocracy republics suck, especially merchant republics, what with -50 max absolutism and no estates
