Gort posted:I'm also having trouble understanding the army interface. The Ottomans start with ten units "in reserve", which sounds like a bad state of affairs, but I can't work out how to assign them to a general. Maybe there's something in the help files somewhere. To answer my own question - you gotta promote the guy in charge of the HQ with the unassigned units. In this case the Balkans HQ. The units were in reserve because the guy in charge of it was only a Lieutenant General with a command cap of 60, while there were 70 units in the Balkans HQ.

70k concurrent peak on Steam seems pretty solid to me at least. Think that puts it at their second largest launch behind CK3, which makes sense. Long term I imagine it’s the most niche of the ongoing PDS titles but who knows.

fuf posted:That's the only way? This was definitely a diplomatic play that the USA started somehow. The faster you colonize the more likely you are to get a revolt, squashing the revolt lets you hoover up the territory. USA has a huge population so they colonize fast, so they get revolts more often.

Anyone know how this free government reform works? Will it count as long as I begin the reform within the time period, or does the law have to actually pass before the time elapses? Cause many of my laws take longer than 180 days, and the rest exactly 180 days, so only 1 shot to pass.

It can be hard to notice (because the process is very gradual), but you'll actually take little bites out of the territory as the bar ticks down. So your progress is literally measured by the amount of territory you have on the map.

sloppy portmanteau posted:Anyone know how this free government reform works? Reforming a government isn’t passing a law, it’s swapping out which interest groups are part of the government and which aren’t - which can lead to passing laws since the selection of interest groups in the government decides that. So like, if you get a free government reform you can bring industrialists into government for free and then gain the option to pass industry-friendly laws. Edit: also you should be able to mouse over gold-tinted words like “government reform” to pop up a tooltip explaining what it is

Popoto posted:I’m having a lot of similar trouble with Portugal’s starting situation. Is this a case where I should cancel all their traderoutes to get bureaucracy under control and from there try to expand trade as I can, making some money by importing the most needful products through tariffs? My main problem seemed to be that I didn't look at what my bureaucracy can actually support and crashed my taxation when my overburdened system reached ca. 90% tax wastage (that is, I only got like 10% of my taxes). Another problem was that global price changes can make trade routes unproductive, and of course it's twice as annoying if a good your economy wants is too expensive, so importing it will hurt a lot -and if the demand outside your country is high enough, there is not even a guarantee the local price will go down enough! Recently I had a breakthrough just when my iron mine started crashing the local iron price: A new steel mill finished and I managed to finagle cheap coal imports and my domestic iron production into steel production, which I then exported for huge profits. Government and soldier wages are now back to normal from the Bad Times and I could modernize and expand our army to the point where we're roughly the same strength again as at game start. Though this took long enough to get out of losing British subsidizing we're now down from a "Minor Power" to an "Insignificant Power".  Anyway, my suggestion would be to look at what your country produces and to try exporting that, and only import what you need to keep your exports going. And of course a "higher" tier good will bring more money, so expand your industry to produce that poo poo. Simple stuff like building steel mills to turn your local coal and iron into steel, expand your universities if you don't have enough skilled laborers. It's all very sensible as long as you don't panic at the huge information flood the game gives you. Right now (after 4 hours playing) the Kingdom of Hannover has reached 1841, and even though I had to implement consumption taxes on liquor and services thanks to my failing tax reform (thank you, Middle Class  ), economy is currently healthy and I'm now able to slowly fill the large holes left in our domestic production after England bailed out of the union when King William died.I dunno how much of this can help you for your Portugal-run, as far as I know Portugal should at least have tons of colonies to support you. Try using your colonies' raw materials to set up advanced production to fuel exports (and your war machinery), is my guess. (Also Wikipedia tells me you avoided a nasty civil war by just 2 years, ha ha. Guess you should feel lucky Paradox didn't set the game start date a couple years earlier.  )Edit: If it isn't weird stories about German Robin Hoods riling up the peasants against the new tax system, it's either the landowners + middle classes throwing wrenches into the works, followed by the king angry screaming at the Bourgeoisie bungling writing the new tax law yet again. 5 years now and the reform is still stuck. Hannover, what are you doing? Well poo poo, 1am already, I guess I try again tomorrow Libluini fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Oct 25, 2022 |

I started a game as Cape Colony to get a handle on things and it's 1860 and I'm a multicultural wonderland attracting so many immigrants my minting fuelled economy can't build fast enough to employ them. On the other hand I'm decades away from breaking off from the brits unless I'm missing something obvious. Game gud.

I keep trying to play but then spending 30 minutes looking are all the pretty map modes. And they're everywhere! Click on meat, see you're the fifth largest worldwide producer of meat. Would you like to see a map of worldwide meat production? Of course! Consumption? Hell yeah, that too. Meat potential? Jesus Christ look at that meat potential in China.

Had a very chill time gradually chipping away at the power of the Shogunate and got the Honorable Restoration (i.e. no civil war or foreign power banging down my door). It was a close thing at the end, but I told the radicalized Shogun and Samurai that I'd toooootally revert my recently passed wealth voting, please pay no attention to the ticking election clock. Then, when they got slaughtered at the polls (markets?) by the stupidly wealthy industrialists, I pulled the plug before they even had a single tick on the autocracy laws and laughed all the way to my factory complex. 10/10, would pants the aristocrats again.

Ran Sweden into the ground twice now. The second time I got in this cycle where I was always short on coal, wood, or iron and trying to build more of one caused at least one of the others to skyrocket in price Hhad no room economically to even try and build anything else and spent the game riding close to max debt load.

Playing Sweden on tutorial mode I suddenly found myself being a major power around 1842, and decided to try and bring Denmark into my market by slowly getting them to like me. But now that I got close America sweeps in and becomes their protectorate. How do I go about stealing them from the US? All my diplomatic plays seem to be invalid against Denmark since my relation is so high with them. Do I need to throw all that work away and start lowering relations, or am I missing some method? Also does leading a customs union count as "control" for the forming Scandinavia action?

I managed to get the Shogun himself to storm out of government in a fit of pique. Sadly, this is not one of the things that can kick off the Restoration, I just had to wait for him to cool his head and be invited back in before I could pass anything.
