I'm not sure what to think about Anglicism yet. On one hand you get Anglican points much faster than Pope points but on the other there aren't as many things to spend them on. And the interface is in a submenu under a tab in ledger thing instead of a convenient button in the corner which also displays how many points you have.  deathbagel posted:Well then you spent your

It's pretty economy focused as opposed to regular Protestant and Orthodox where I just always did military stuff. The +1 stab is pretty nice, I often just hold onto 200 points to keep myself at +3. The money one is alright, but it's only around 6 months of ducats? Or is it pegged to your loan amount? Hard to tell, just seems like it's not that great.

At the point I am hitting the money it's 3000 ducats a pop. Which is nothing to sneeze at.

In my game Anglicanism spawned in Scotland, England was Catholic but flipped to protestant due to rebels, and I never got an opportunity as Ireland to be Anglican. What is the trigger?

The mission interface needs some improvements, it's really hard to tell at a glance which ones are complete or available to complete.

None of my boats will do missions in the Baltic Sea, am I missing something? I've got galleys with an admiral in the Baltic sea, but when I do select a mission, either hunt enemy ships or blockade ports, only North Atlantic and the Med come up. Happens for all fleets. What gives?

Does the "length of war" modifier when in a war have a cap? I had a pretty good first war with the ottomans as Byzantium, and in the second war I have them securely across the strait, but the warscore is about 26% away from kicking them off my side entirely. I guess I could just take all their coastal provinces and leave the inland ones for another war.

Liking the new mission system so far. Is it intentional that you can't convert to Anglicanism? England spawned it and I wanted to try it out, but no dice. So now I'm just reformed Scotland instead, since I haven't actually used Reformed since the Protestant rework.

Doing a lazy France run to test out new missions, and holy hell, got the meanest Reformation ever. Both Poland and Spain went protestant, something I had never seen. I ended up becoming emperor for some weird reason, used it to swallow more HRE land, and then of course the league war broke. Thankfully i was allied with both Ottomans and Sweden, and we rolled over everyone else. I was tempted to join in, but being able to turn papal authority into mercantilism, Manpower boosts and stability is just so strong. And then of course, Pope excomunicates me a few years later, never mind me having saved Catholicism. :P

Like for England, the Subjugate France mission gives you an expiring Restore Union CB, which kinda conflicts with the Angevin Kingdom mission which wants you to control a lot of French provinces. You need to enforce the PU on France first, it's almost impossible to take all the Angevin Kingdom land before your CB to PU France expires. Unfortunately that's really only something you'll figure out after playing through the first 60 years and making the mistake of trying to cut France down to size by doing Angevin Kingdom first. The system is fine, the actual mission trees could use a lot of fleshing out for non-European nations and some tweaking so they make more sense and are straightforward.

My only complaint with the mission system is I wish it had more permanent bonuses besides claims. Like, as England, after I took over Ireland, I waited for a long time before actually finishing the mission for autonomy to lower.

Yeah generally speaking other than some excessively generous handing out of permaclaims as opposed to regular claims my main complaint about the mission system is that it mostly rewards you with more claims and the other buffs you get are not great. There are exceptions, Byz and Timurids have some pretty sweet non-claims bonuses both temporary and permanent (they both also poo poo claims all over as well - the wildly divergent power levels of mission sets is also a slight issue)

oddium posted:yeah shout out to the design guy at paradox who can tell the difference between polished gold and slightly lustrous gold Groogy pls Is there a mod that globally disables permanent claims? Things seem to tend to go a bit too railroady even without lucky nations. Are there any mods that specifically just slightly mix things up a bit from the historical start? Just give the historically major countries a development nerf, have them release some nations at start, stuff like that?

Fister Roboto posted:You don't actually need to put France in a PU to complete Subjugate France. Correct, but if you want to PU France the CB is likely to expire before you cut them down to a manageable size if you complete the Strategic Control mission too early. It saves you a ton of AE and headache to downsize then PU France rather than trying to directly conquer all of it.

Right before RB came out I witnessed the O’Neill dynasty unite Ireland early on and stay independent through the end of the game. Doubt I’ll ever see that again. Another fun thing that happened in that game (I was Bohemia) was annexing Brandenburg early on and surviving the follow up coalition war thanks to allying the Ottomans. Ottomans saved me during the League Wars too. Finally, Ottomans helped me release Nitra from Hungary. Then, after Hungary was gone and I was Emperor, Nitra joined the empire and gave me 30 IA at once because “rumor has it they fear the Ottomans”. Cool game and I think my first time playing completely landlocked.

Poil posted:Close enough, but the holy land is the other way isn't it? Very first EU4 game I played - as the Ottomans, to learn the ropes - I had a Commonwealth a bit bigger than that, and also in a personal union with Russia and Naples. My game ended when they decided everything around the Black and Aegean Seas belonged to them. It was before this latest patch so i don't think I can load it up to get a screenshot, unfortunately, but they were led by the Hapsburgs, just to cap it all off. EDIT: As long as I'm here, can someone explain - in very, very simple language - how to do trade and development good? Moon Slayer fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Mar 25, 2018 |

Just watch this for trade, and check out the rest of Reman's videos too to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edjLVFMjPyo For development, you're better off acquiring more land than you are developing the land you already have except in two specific cases: when you are about to lose points to the cap or when you're trying to embrace an institution.

So I'm playing as Byzantium, and after a really good start I've conquered Naples. Should I use my merchants to push trade through Constantinople and Ragusa and into Genoa? I have a merchant there and he's getting me nearly three ducats a month even with the malus for collecting in a non-capital node, but I'm also earning 10 ducats a month from Constantinople. Maybe I should keep collecting in Constantinople, push in Ragusa, and keep collecting in Genoa?

Luigi Thirty posted:How do you get started as Byzantium in RB? Same as always, it's just a bit harder because the OE builds more boats (to the point where doing the blockade strat is nearly impossible now) and they are much more aggressive due to the new missions. But you can go hog loving wild with missions once you start the conquering spree

Luigi Thirty posted:How do you get started as Byzantium in RB? Build up to your force limit, ally Albania, hope the Ottomans declare on them first. Then I just attached my army to Skanderbeg and let him do the rest. When the war was going well, I separate peaced for Edirne, then Albania won the war and gave me most my Greek provinces back. Then I took out some loans to match the Ottomans galley fleet. Another question: Is it worth taking out loans to build manufactories? It doesn't seem like other buildings provide enough of a return, but manufactories I'm a little more uncertain of, and I'm having trouble keeping a good economy right now.
