And we haven't even touched on "Your religion is different I will fight you in the name of MY god" and be awarded for it. Or Imperialism and "gently caress you, my country is best and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise."

Is there a way to make your vassals be more active in seeking claims? No matter how much I set their neighbors as rivals/hostile, they never seem to fabricate, and just keep the claims they had when I vassalized them until the expire, then never get new ones.

You have to set the provinces as vital interest or whatever then they'll claim em If you don't have cossacks i got no idea

Gamerofthegame posted:wait what https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Diplomatic_feedback It is just easier to look at that page, but when you have that tab/menu open, left click on territories that you or your subjects dont own to set them as vital interests. If your subject can, they will fabricate claims on those provinces.

As soon as it kicks off all your deadbeat allies will vital-interest everything they think they can get (whether or not this is at all realistic for them to do) and cockblock you from doing it.

Yeah, for whatever reason, probably to avoid some kind of exploits, you're not allowed to set provinces of vital interest when one of your war allies also has that province marked as of interest. So as soon as you get a CTA and are promised land, pause the game, mark out what you want, and as long as your war participation is reasonable and occupied those provinces yourself, the AI war leader will try to reward you with them. Other countries will also sometimes flip occupation to you. But also, yes, using that feature will encourage your vassals to make claims on provinces you select.

In my experience they sometimes won't make claims even when you have valid provinces highlighted. I think it has something to do with ruler personality, which is kind of lovely.

Yeah, Diplomat vassals generally think they have better things to do with their diplomats and will take a long time to make any claims. Militarist vassals will claim anything withing reach whether you ask them to or not. The other three personality types will generally get around to making claims once you mark provinces as vital interest.

Jay Rust posted:I’ve never played horde. Something about razing turns me off. I guess I just like numbers going up I often play in Central Asia and end up with Russia invading me every 10 years, sending infantry stacks to siege random forts, and taking way too loving long to sign a peace treaty. Playing as Kazan, invading them in 1445 and razing/giving to Yaroslavl all their provinces is cathartic.

It's because the AI will break alliance if you share too many provinces of vital interest so if you could add them at war you could essentially circumvent that system entirely.

I tried using the +40% ship capture NI on a custom nation and picked the fleet option for another +33(?)%. Granted I didn't have many fleet battles but I barely nabbed even a couple ships over centuries. I suppose almost doubling a 1% chance or whatever is still pretty unlikely.  Anyway I had set up a custom AI nation near New Orleans with the siberian frontier bullshit and a 6/6/6 immortal queen (so they wouldn't be able to make their ruler a general and lose her). Once I explored the coast and looked at them they had of course somehow managed to lose their great ruler (probably pretender rebels), were horrendously behind in tech and had barely filled up any of their supercharged NI's at all. High American tech group is utter poo poo and desperately needs some buffs to help the AI like maybe sparkling fairies giving them a magical +1 institution growth in their capital even if they don't actually qualify for it or something. It should be fine since they're normally not in the game. Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:The only moral way to play this game is by picking Dithmarschen every single time.

Is there some kind of mod that makes boats more impactful? Like say making it so that boats can steal away almost all your trade even if you've got all the land. I'd like to just not conquer anything but have a huge fleet that dominates trade in a not-decreasing-marginal-returns sort of way.

If you want to try an underdog, go Byzantine. There's dumb amounts of info on it because there's a certain subsection of EU players that fellate themselves on reforming the roman empire. Long story short, you do the usual things when starting a new country and then improve relations with Albania. Do not ask for an alliance for them until Ottomans declare war, then just attach your army to theirs which will be headed by 6/6/6 general Skanderbeg. Between supplying him men and Venice helping out, you should be able to get a peace deal. Advanced technique is to peace out early by grabbing Edirne and a couple other not cored provinces, shifting control of the other conquered provinces over to Albania just before the deal is confirmed. They'll gladly give you your other cores back when they peace out.

E: It did also give them a CB on Monarchies though, so it wasn't just event paste. It also consequently gave Monarchies one on them

Third sneaky bullshit step is to take a loan or two buying up galleys so you can protect the crossing into modern day Turkey and conquer those provinces too. The bulk of Ottoman's army likes to try taking out Venice so it'll take them some time to march back. Fourth sneaky bullshit step is to have an easy country already spied up if Ottomans decides to warn you shortly after losing (and being somewhat in debt, not great on manpower, high on war exhaustion, etc.).

Can we make institution pops a little less random maybe? It really sucks when you play an Asian or African country and you've got Colonialism ready to spawn for decades and then it just suddenly goes to Spain or Portugal because lol Europe.

I think the game could do a better job of communicating where institutions are likely to fire. The current lists of trigger conditions only really let you know if you have a chance of spawning it in one of your provinces (it selects the likeliest through spooky means) or if you have no chance at all. It doesn’t really tell you much about whether you are likely to get it or not.
