Frionnel posted:drat, should have voted for Timur's death. That seems like an even better scenario. This is the best, a unified japan removes the stupid shogun mechanics and a shattered china gets rid of the horrible Chinese system, so both nations might actually accomplish something.

Nakar posted:I'm assuming based on what you've said that you probably earn "enough" if you actually stick to the strategy you have established. That's probably good enough as a rule. After a certain point money is no longer an issue in EU3. If you manage to conquer all of Italy, France or Germany you'll have enough money to conquer the world, all you'd need is the manpower. A WC as a small European power is pretty easy. Start by conquering/forming your cultural union. Use those cores to begin to conquer Europe, once you've crippled Castille/France/England/the emperor the BB limit no longer matters and you can just go nuts. Your tech slowing down from all the wrong culture provinces in Europe really doesn't matter because most European provinces are so populous they're worth it regardless, and the rest of the world has such a huge malus on their tech speed they'll never be able to compete with you no matter how many useless provinces you pick up.

Conskill posted:I'm at a loss. You're routinely seeing the game throw 1,000 regiment armies at you? I think I could count on one hand the number of times I've seen more than 100 regiments on one side of a fight. I don't think I've ever seen a single nation with 1,000 regiments. The largest is usually Ming who have at best 150-200 or if the HRE unifies 200-300 for them.

Well as it stands Italy doesn't control the city of Rome, and it might never gain control if an alliance of Christian nations step in to save the pope.

Jeb Bush 2012 posted:Looks like the Latin Empire might be in an even worse starting position than vanilla Byzantium. I guess the Byzantine successor states are a lot less threatening than the Ottomans, but it starts even smaller and it lacks small states with its cores to victimise. A player might be able to pull it off, starting with that many cores that won't decay is such a huge advantage it really breaks the difficulty of playing as a smaller nation. The AI however has no chance, I don't think I've ever seen the AI retake Byzantium in a vanilla game so it's screwed here.

BklynBruzer posted:I don't think I've ever actually seen you explain your issue with Hordes, Wiz. Why do they piss you off so much? Instead of the horde fighting a bunch of people and then collapsing like it's supposed to, the horde mechanics ensure 1 outside nation sieges and conquers 90% of the horde and then spends the next 100 years sending colonists at it until they've got a giant zit coming out of their nation that goes halfway to China.

Wiz posted:Aaaaand I just realized that countries outside the Shogunate are hardcoded to not be able to initiate diplomacy, including wars, with countries in the Shogunate. Which means the Ikko-Ikki won't work at all. Is it possible to have them start the game on some island at start, and then event gift them the Japanese provinces?

Wiz posted:Huh? That has nothing to do with the issue, which is that countries outside the Shogunate system can't take any diplomatic action with countries inside the Shogunate system. It has nothing to do with provinces. Ah I thought you meant outside nations could not negotiate with Ikko-Ikki, not that Ikko couldn't negotiate with the rest of Japan. Also that's really dumb. e: IIRC outsiders can declare war on the shogunate by declaring war on the 1 province emperor, but that's the extent of their diplomatic options. uPen fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Sep 10, 2011 |

wiegieman posted:Is there a reason you're going with infantry and not an all-cavalry force early on? I thought cavalry were far superior while you're stuck with low value shock units. One of the recent expansions changed this. You need to maintain a certain ratio of Inf:Cav to get a tactics bonus, if you've got too many cavalry you lose the bonus and get wrecked.

Darth Windu posted:Battlefield Commissions (B) is still a military choice, and is extremely practical, but is more interesting by far than Grand Army. It improves our generals' Shock value, which is very powerful. If B and C combine on B, we can beat that boring-rear end A vote. Which has been chosen in undoubtedly every Paradox LP since the beginning of time. It probably hasn't since vanilla

zedar posted:Why would you do this? Formable nations based on cultural boundaries I can understand, but Sardinina-Piedmont is just a jumble of lands that happened to be owned by a single family. I guess maybe add events for Savoy to conquer Sardinia if you want to push for historical accuracy, but actually having it as a tag? The better question is why not? More formable nations is a good thing since it gives the player short-medium term goals to aim for. Most of my favorite nations the first thing I go for is a new tag before moving on to other things.

Tomn posted:Not that I advocate switching courses at this point in the game, but couldn't defensive work out hypothetically if you largely ignore battles entirely, letting enemies win costly sieges only to slip in behind them and rapidly counter-siege with artillery, thus constantly attriting the enemy to death until they're weak enough for your own relatively weaker forces to pounce and destroy them? Defensive works by making your forts even more annoying to break, allowing you to exploit the AI's tendency to ignore attrition.

Tomn posted:No, no, I was speaking entirely in the abstract - I was always kinda interested in trying to make the defensive slider work out, but I never did get around to testing that theory out. It's not particularly pertinent to our situation, but I WAS wondering whether such a strategy could work out at all. The defensive slider is pretty much objectively better unless you're handicapping yourself like Wiz is.

SolidPolonium posted:Wouldn't taking Portugal be a better "first step"? If you're looking to invade mainland Europe as an Islamic power the easiest jumping off point is usually southern Italy. As long as your navy is stronger than the powers that the Pope or Naples will call in you can quickly annex them then start fighting your way up the peninsula to grab the incredible provinces in Northern Italy.
