Even my loving vassal is doing the Propagate poo poo. That's it! Everyone in SE Asia is now dead. I'm going to bury every last man, woman and child alive to serve as fertilizer for my spices to pay for all the heathen penalties they've applied to my provinces.

All this talking about doing a somewhat development-focused playthrough reminds me that I still haven't finished my German Republic Dithmarschen game. Republics might be a bit weaker as a baseline now, but having a permanent RT boost and pretty drat good NIs helps them out a lot and the HRE is one of the places where developing a lot can actually be quite handy since AE is such a restraint.

I've been trying to figure out a fun state to do a Shia Republic thing with, because they get +0.5RT as a passive religion bonus, which is goddamn crazy. I could always do one of those silly custom nation achievements.

A fun way to do a custom nation is just to find a decent historic nation and plop your custom one right on top of it. And of course to keep your NI somewhat reasonable.

I could always do one of those silly custom nation achievements. start as one of the nations with a 0.5 RT bonus, convert to shia, take the two policies that give RT and re-elect your ruler indefinitely while still gaining tradition? (actually you can probably still do this with only the +0.4 policy, since the -0.1 a year you lose will be balanced by your leaders occasionally dying without being re-elected)

Something like that in EU4 would be nice. There'd just have to be some limitation requiring a nation to actually be small, so larger nations wouldn't just deliberately leave provinces unstated.

Institutions sort of provide that since they cost a lot more and take much longer to spread if you're bigger. Granted the money isn't a serious issue if you've blobbed out (unless you mostly only own 75% autonomy 1/1/1 provinces with wool or something).

This is only sort of true. Tech costs maxed out after a point, so, like in EU4, bigger always beat better. It's worth noting Johan's said this is a deliberate design decision behind EU - that expansion should be the driving part of the game.

oddium posted:operation Strong Daddy kicking into gear This is wonderful. I've been thinking of playing in Japan next game, maybe having the Ainu retake Japan. I understand that if I declare on Kyoto, I can probably get them to vassalize me and become a daimyo. Does liberty desire work differently with daimyos? I hear about people just vasslizing everything. Is it just for the novelty or is it better than, say, conquering all of japan but keeping the daimyo government?

normal vassals compare their collective strength against you, daimyos don't. the only reason any of them have liberty desire above 10% is because i keep forcing them to Contribute to Capital, which takes two of their dev and gives 1 base tax to kyoto. and because they're opms that can't expand they keep developing up their capitals and i keep siphoning it e: to clear some stuff up: when the shogun vassalizes someone they are automatically a daimyo vassal but the vassal does not get the daimyo government type. ainu would remain a siberean clan council tribe but be able to declare on fellow daimyo vassals and make daimyo vassal alliances. if you take kyoto you would get the Fall of Kyoto event and not be the shogun. you could, like any nation, culture shift to japanese and form japan still oddium fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Dec 20, 2017 |

Yeah a lot of the important stuff relies on the daimyo government type, but you... might be able to annex and release Ainu to give it to them?

no i tried. i also tried culture shifting ainu to japanese first, converting to shinto, doing it as the shogun/independant daimyo, noble rebels, all of it. unless there's some obscure Will of the Horde-esque event

Could you hypothetically start as a daimyo then culture shift to Ainu or is the daimyo govt locked to Japanese? If that's possible, I'd be fine with it--it'd be like the conquered achieving a cultural victory and eventually taking it all!

I don't think Ainu is formable. It's releasable if it stops existing, but I highly doubt there's a decision to reform it if it stops existing. e: oh wait you meant to Ainu-culture, not as a stepping stone to tag-switching. ignore me.

When you fully annex a country and their army goes separatist rebels, does it not cancel their move order? Do they still get to move like around like the country was still in control until they reach a stopping point of some kind? I fully annexed a North American native OPM and their army went rebels as I was chasing them and they kept going from the West Coast up into the middle of Canada before I finally caught up with them. It was exactly like the AI was still controlling them normally to keep running away from my army.SkySteak posted:OK, thank you!

Somehow, starting as Florence, I managed to colonize the entire Caribbean (as in, every province in the colonial region) and am now starting on North America and nobody else including Portugal and Castile (somehow the usual merger never happened) has even gotten past Brazil yet. This is weird. Edit: Also, after forming Tuscany, I now have permanent claims on the entire Caribbean, which is really silly given that I can't even own all those provinces directly.

Can you not blockade straits anymore? I just had Naples slip 20k men across the Messina straits that my nanny was guarding and destroy my guys besieging Sicily. I really couldn't afford to lose those men over loving Corfu. And where exactly are the Continental regions.
