I really want to play a relaxing colonial game as england but goddamn this start is mega poo poo, I would gladly trade every single continental holding I have to france if I could just skip over the surrender of Main and War of the Roses and get to the part of the game where I stop caring about continental Europe and start loving around in India and Southeast Asia

Unrelated, I have a Pegu run off the ground to go for the Sailor Mon achievement, which is going to take.... quite a while and a lot of land. I just conquered a muslim province and I am seriously considering doing some of the old cheese that I saw people talk about for switching their religion via triggering religious rebels to rebel and convert a bunch of land. Having never done that before, can anyone tell me if those kinds of shenanigans still work in the current version of the game, and if so, anything specific I would need to know to make sure I dont screw it up? Like... I should be at war when I do it so they cant enforce their demands, right?

Mans posted:Interesting! I've been trying to do a successful Jerusalem run and starting over and over again was a bit frustrating. I haven't done a Jerusalem run in the current patch but I did one as Cyprus in the last stable patch and it was actually pretty easy; you just need to get the Ottomans to support your independence before the Mamluks annex you (after vassaling you by event), then you can get the Ottomans to back you in like two or three subsequent wars before they get pissed off at you and leave. Hopefully by then there's a strong enough Russia or Poland or Spain to ally you and encourage the Ottos to look elsewhere for expansion. The bigger issue is that the Jerusalem area is pretty terrible land.

I've just done it for Ottomans to Coptic, you probably want them to enforce to actually trigger the religion flip, but they probably need to hold your captial for that. So if you can herd them around, keep them off that and get them to do as much else first, cleaning up behind them. Once they enforce they'll dump 20% autonomy on all provinces they still hold, so you want to clean up as much as you can without them turning around to recap land that's already converted.

Devs said they want Revolution to be more interesting. So it does not just feel very gamey with crippling yourself for later bonuses. But I don't see it. I'm successful France. Revolution triggers in... Brazil. Wiki is still outdated and says Revolution can only happen in Europe. Seems I'm not seeing French Revolution this playthrough. Also I didn't even see French Revolution in the list of possible disasters.

Speaking of the Revolution, there seems to be some kind of issue with Administrative Efficiency if you actually do go revolutionary. Before all that happened, my Admin Efficiency was ~50 or so, thanks to absolutism and tech -- I could conquer 200 dev or so at once without breaking 100% overextension. Since then, even with my Admin Efficiency up to 60 now thanks to the third tech and maxed Revolutionary Zeal, I'm choking on provinces. Before the Revolution I took everything from Ragusa to Constantinople in one war, that was like 120% overextension. However many years later,I just took the rest of anatolia (and I checked, about equivalent dev) and suddenly I'm choking on 300% overextension. What gives?

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:You do realize that you can probably give the vast majority of that land away, right? Day 1, sell Maine to Provence, release Normandy and Gascony, give Alençon to Normandy, scutage them. Sell Calais to Burgundy if you want. Punch Scotland on December 11. One of your starter missions gives you a vassal CB on Scotland if you have max force limit troops and like 70% of your total manpower. So also day 1, raise a merc company to hit force limit, and exploit your manpower development to get MP and lower your total until you can click the mission. Boom, use that CB as soon as you're allowed to declare war and stomp them while France can't touch you. You've got a long truce with France, Scotland vassalized, and also some dipshit like Burgundy or Aragon will probably also attack France and murder-suicide because of the long war as you sit on Scotland and kill their navy. Then you can get rid of the continental vassals at leisure, or just keep them because France will be strangled in the crib. You can honestly probably just force the PU on them at that point and colonize while your big blue attack dog handles any continental fights.

Unless they have changed it in the new patch, the event for the Surrender of Maine only fires if Maine is owned by England. Not a vassal of England. So you don't have to sell it, just give it to Normandy. Then proceed as above, fight France when you choose and force a union on them, etc.

I love playing Ethiopia, can you tell? I mean, they absolutely needed to nerf Exploration, because old Exploration was broken good and pretty much a no-brainer in most cases(and Expansion was terrible). But I don't think it's exactly in a good place yet, especially with the ever-increasing quantity of provinces.

In my succesful Prester John run I had no colonists. I was tempted to take expansion to make way to central Africa, but instead focused on whittling down my neighbours. This game was also the first time I got 99% warscore against the Ottomans. Erogenous, really.

That feeling when you fight a hellwar as Pegu in the 1550s to fight through hundreds of thousands of Ming troops to occupy a province that borders them to take it in a peace deal, only to find out that my Muslim Pegu bordering Ming doesnt cause Ming to lose Mandate  p.s. I successfully flipped to Sunni as Pegu and its awesome! No more lame advisors resigning because my Buddhist religion bar was all the way at the bottom forever. Now with high legalism, high Dhimmi loyalty, Aristocratic ideas, and a Pegu national idea I pay 40% less for Military techs! AAAAA!

Just reaching the 1600 in a Pirate Republic game as Madyas (Philippines nation). All of SEA belongs either to me or one of my five vassals. Just exploded Ming. This feels very, very good. I'm just one or two techs behind europeans despite the MP dumping every 50 years. I guess all that's left now is to start clamping down on trade? The Philippine trade node is a bit bad in its placement. I suppose the best thing I should do is move my CoT to Malacca and try to tie down the two downstream nodes to secure as much trade power as possible yeah? Spain just showed up on some Islands I hadn't yet colonised. Should I let them grab stuff and just pounce on them every time they develop a few provinces? Or should I grab them while they are colonies? (If I do that I'm not sure I can afford the etra cost. I'm loaded but not that much).  Bonus Europe screen.  First time I've ever seen a Cote d'Ivoire like that! Popoto fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Jul 1, 2020 |

I figured Hindu would be better if you're going to conquer into India, but I don't really remember the religion mechanics for either of them very well.

If anyone is looking for a relatively relaxed mp megacampaign to join, mine is recruiting and is starting the EU4 phase after nearly 600 years of CK2: reposting the link, sundays at noon est/ 9am pst https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/where-our-bootheels-goed-sunday-0900-1300-pst.1399662/ Most of the viable slots in Western/Central europe are filled and I think we filled most of eastern Europe. So potential slots are probably Middle East and North Africa/Egypt and Further East in Russia. I'm in Northern Italy roleplaying a peasant's republic of matriarchal Dragonborn descended from Melkor's Ancalagon the Black. The sizes currently are because we instituted hard size limits in CK2 to prevent blobbing and 1984 style "cold wars" between blobs. Our EU4 phase will likely retain some degree of size limits through reduced administrative capacity or something to that effect.

Is there an easier way to assign war occupation to my vassals than clicking on each province individually and scrolling through my big-rear end revoked privilegia vassal list for each and every one? e: just tried shift-clicking provinces and was ready to kick myself when it actually let me multi-select them but then when i assign them it still only does one of them. what is even the point of multi-selecting them if i can still only assign one at a time Wafflecopper fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Jul 1, 2020 |

I would like to go on the record and state that "provoke revolt" is the single best new feature in this patch and among the top 5 of all time. Jesus it saves so much time and annoyance. I think at one point I even (unintentionally) timed it so perfectly that a random AI army travelling my territory got caught in it and wiped it, saving me the manpower and effort.
