Is there a way to unlock more government reform options or are all visible when you start? I spent 10 corruption to change to plutocratic so I could get plutocratic ideas (awesome change by the way) and then grabbed the empowering nobility for the +15% manpower but the drat nobles still threw up a stab hit event about how they were cranky I was taking away their power. Ungrateful bastards.  Jay Rust posted:Culture conversion is genocide.  Actually not since it doesn't affect development, manpower or sailors in any way. Not even during the conversion.

I'm playing Sindh, and I have a decision to "Indianize the Sultanate" which costs 100 ADM and changes my government to "Indian Sultanate". Only catch is my government is already an Indian sultanate. Are there some hidden benefits to the decision or is it a trap?

Fister Roboto posted:In practical terms, converting culture is a way to turn diplomatic points into tax income and manpower, so it can be useful at times. At worst it's the equivalent of 30 diplo points for 1 base tax and 1 base manpower, which is still a better use of points than development in most cases. This would be true in a world where the modifiers are multiplicative but they're not and buildings and other modifiers make culture penalties very less significant. This is the same reason why TCs are so busted, you can overcome those -100% tax and manpower modifiers and you're left with a 0 autonomy province with higher output than a 75% autonomy territory with the same buildings

Why would you stick a colonists in a province and not in a colony?

Out of provinces worth colonizing? I find that as a heavy colonizer you often run into a situation by the mid-18th century where basically the only empty provinces left are crap 1/1/1s. Alternatively, some nations only really want to colonize a specific part of the world (eg locking down Cape/Zanzibar) and have little use for other colonies once that’s done.

In 1.26 colonists can improve existing provinces.

Didn't see the dev diary posted here, sounds like they'll be rolling back the conversion changes in some way: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/eu4-development-diary-11th-of-september-2018.1118823/quote:Good morning and welcome to the first Post-Dharma dev diary. Dharma was released last week and by most measures was an extremely successful release for us. That said, we have a tradition of post release support for our games and expansions, that's what I'm here to talk about today.

There is a discipline bonus, it comes from "lost cultures" which you need to make a custom nation for, use mods, or have someone else form the Roman Empire and then conquer them (which now I think of it would be a very fun way to end an OP Mughals campaign  )

There's also a central Indian which is -10% attrition p.s. has anyone done the Viceroyality of Deccan thing yet? From what I can tell from console fuckery, this doesn't remove any of your cores at all so if you want you can just straight up annex them whenever you like as long as you don't go feeding them extra territory. Since you probably have 80% core cost reduction it's actually much cheaper in monarch points to (full) core the provinces yourself first than it is to release Deccan with a bunch of uncored provinces which you then need to pay full regular diplo annex cost if you want to absorb them later. Maybe doing it all through the console broke something and this isn't how it works in actual gameplay.

RabidWeasel posted:There's also a central Indian which is -10% attrition Nope you are completely right. In my current Mughals game I had already cored most of it when I could complete the mission and since I had moved my capital to Europe, the other option in the event the mission triggers wasn't exactly optimal, so that mission sits unfinished.

As Mughals, should I take the decision to become Sikh or just stick with my current flavor of Islam? Can you even have a non-Islamic Mughals?

Grizzwold posted:As Mughals, should I take the decision to become Sikh or just stick with my current flavor of Islam? Can you even have a non-Islamic Mughals? From a pure gameplay perspective, Islam is much more powerful than Sikh. The Piety mechanic alone makes it better, let alone the beneficial decisions and events. Sikh is a very normal religion in comparison. I was still sorta tempted to convert to sikh in my Mughals run but I wasn't sure what would happen to my indian sultanate status.

I just got out of a war with Muscovy with 500 manpower and 800 ducats in loans. How the heck is Bohemia allowed to then call me into an offensive war against someone who's not even my rival? Sometimes this game makes no sense.

Tried my first Ming run, and it feels...weird. Do I try to make everyone a tributary, or keep some enemies to expand? Is it worth converting provinces, or do I just harmonize existing faiths? It feels weird to start so big. Just walking your armies across your territory to stamp a rebellion or set p a war takes forever, and that's a problem you have in mid-game Russia or Ottomans, not from 1444!

I'm Oman, allied with Ottomans and a massive Aq Qoyunlu. Ottomans are willing to join my war against the Mamluks, but Aq is not because they're 700 ducats in debt. I figure I'll send them a gift of money to get rid of that negative modifier and bring them into the war too. As soon as I send it to them, they immediately go 2200 ducats into debt, despite being at peace.

You should be able to uncheck the "Join Offensive Wars" box. It's a little silly that they called you in, but there is at least a tool to prevent it.

I think in general it would be cool if there could be some form of communication between allies, so that it's "hey, I want to fight the Ottomans soon, can you help me out?" rather than "I'm fighting the Ottomans right the gently caress now, come help me or you're a bitch."

I've used it if an ally keeps declaring wars and calling me in before I can declare wars and call him in.

I think you're expected to use the toggle for not accepting offensive calls to arms in the ally details screen under trust and favors. But actually remembering to do so is rare for me.
