Should be easy to console and check, start as HAB, console IA to to pass all reforms, annex PAP and NAP and you should be sole power in Venice while your trade capital is in the Vienna node. You might have to annex everyone who sends ships/merchants too. Edit: looks like nothing happens, it just stays there not being collected

Is there a basic comparison somewhere of what MEIOU and taxes does differently than Veritas et Fortitudo? The paradoxwiki and steam pages are a bit too dry to get a feel for what they are going for.

The paradoxwiki and steam pages are a bit too dry to get a feel for what they are going for. This is actually one of my main complaints about EU4 mods in general, I'd love to have a look at some of them but most of them do such a piss poor job of explaining what they do that I don't bother trying.

Groogy posted:Huh.... interesting.... Hey groogster, would it be possible to add a message setting that informs you when a country changes its opinion of you (ie, friendly, neutral, hostile, etc)? There's a fairly high degree of unpredictability to it, so being alerted when someone decides to start hating your guts or become available for an alliance would be really useful. TIA

TIA I see why not, would probably put default setting to only show in log though. Actually double check that there isn't already in the message settings. Which reminds me I really badly need to cloud sync message and mapmode settings

Another alert that really should be amended is the one for when a tech gives you innovativeness. There is a grace period of like 3 months after the first nation has teched up, so others can get the +2 innovation as well. Thus I tend to wait for the ai to tech up first - yet there is no distinct alert for when the tech is picked / grace period starts ticking. Fortunately most ai tech up at 1 January every year, but its a hassle I could do without tbh. Also what is up with innovativeness from ideas? I selected Economic before everyone else and got 7 innovation, which seems fair. But then tech 7 comes along and I see that pretty much any military idea would also give me innovation, which was pretty baffling, until I got to tech 10 and found that apparently not a single nation on earth had selected Innovative, Maritime, Naval or Quality! You can easily get 21 innovation if you're willing to select a rarer third idea group which is crazy. Especially since ideas don't seem to have a grace period, nor seem to be restricted to being first in your tech group which distorts the top innovation score for nations. If you look around at nations first idea group, its pretty much only Economic and Diplomatic with close to zero military ideas, so you don't even have to get to tech 5 quickly if you can forego those two for 7 innovation. In my current game I'm sitting at 46 innovation, with Ottomans at 20, Mantua at 12 and Venice 10. To be fair I've had really great rulers, but I could be equal with Ottomans from just picking idea groups with very little effort. Really hoping they revise the system to make it more competitive at the top.

Fortunately most ai tech up at 1 January every year, but its a hassle I could do without tbh. Innovative ideas always give you innovativeness, but the other three can be explained by how the AI selects idea groups. Basically those three groups have very low weighting, so it's not a huge surprise that nobody would select them. Also I would never, ever pick Maritime or Naval ideas for just 7 innovativeness. That's 0.7% mana cost reduction. In a lot of cases you won't even notice it due to rounding.

The paradoxwiki and steam pages are a bit too dry to get a feel for what they are going for. They have a very nice dynamic stability system that I'd like to see in vanilla where stuff like being at war with negative warscore makes your stab tick down and government buildings make it tick up and a whole litany of other factors both ways. MEIOU won't update to the latest version somehow, it should be at 2.5 and it is at 1.99 or something. I'll try to figure that out later.

I miss the days when naval combat was "bring more heavies." Also, I just had a naval battle that lasted more than two years. I feel like the system could use a tweak.

Fun times with missions: turns out that both the Ottomans and Mamluks get mission claims on bits of southeast Anatolia, so it's totally possible to have both of them loving hate you at the same time if you start with your capital there. I'm AQ and I have just about managed to hold the Ottomans at bay but I know that eventually they'll both jump me at once and I'm mega hosed, I allied Poland but then they got invaded and went 2k into debt in like 1480 so they're not actually going to do anything for ages, and everything to my east is a total clusterfuck (though annoyingly this game has the strongest AI Persia I have ever seen, we basically split QQ between us and they also got all of the good Persian provinces already) It's just frustrating because I spent the entire game trying to be friends with either the Ottomans or Mamluks and I could totally be the kingmaker between them but the AI is very insistent that it completes its missions apparently. It's a really fun start though, if only because you can get a gigantic amount of manpower and manpower regeneration bonuses and between that and the "pull cavalry out of your rear end" special power it's quite novel being able to run a full manpower based army this early in the game (though your economy is flaming garbage until you conquer Tabriz)

I halted my WC attempt. Its 1670, my France has united the HRE as vassals, has a bunch of (sometimes conquered) colonies all over the globe now. No nation can match my 200k strong army and the game suddenly became boring as gently caress. Struggling against other nations is fun, struggling against the clock is... Not.

Yeah I've recently hit 80% of the achievements and I still don't have the WC one. I've started a couple of attempts but I just get incredibly bored long before finishing. I doubt I'll ever actually do it.

I doubt I'll ever actually do it. Same. I've got like 1500 hours logged and still haven't even conquered all of Europe, never mind the world. Looks rather tedious. I'd rather just keep trying for weird little particular goals.

I've had EU4 for ages but I only just got round to playing a game through to the end for the first time, as Muscovy > Russia. Not particularly impressive given what you can do with Russia but I'm happy with it for a first attempt, and there's some interesting AI stuff -- Aq Qoyunlu for whatever reason became Coptic, formed Persia and went on to conquer most of the Middle East. I also like that Ming ended up surviving to the end as an OPM in Taiwan. Khiva, the Mamluks and the OPM Syria are my vassals; Cathay and Venedia (the peach thing in Poland I was planning to feed but never got round to) are client states.   I lucked out with a few very good rulers that let me keep up in tech despite being consistently very late to all the institutions. Looking back though I think I was way too cautious about fighting more than one war at the same time, and ignoring my navy probably slowed down my expansion quite a bit.

You made the right call, it gets even more tedious when you're just waiting out the truce timers on the nations too big to gobble in one or two wars.

Jay Rust posted:1200 hours and only ever reached the end date once A lot of people are like this, apparently. I guess my average game completion is low since there's a lot of game I'll abandon in the first few decades, but once I start to get into a playthrough I usually see it through. Granted I'll usually slow down after I reach whatever my mid-game goal is. It's definitely fun to go revolutionary and set up a bunch of client state republics everywhere like Napoleon or so on.
